A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 883 - 869: The Disappearing Squad

After Igarashi Chitome gave instructions, the school quickly began arranging for the students to enter. This time, instead of selecting a few dozen students, any student who wanted to cultivate in the Blessed Land could enter. The grassland had been completely cleared, allowing many people to cultivate there.

The Spiritual Qi was exceptionally dense.

Presumably, all the students of the holy Purple Crystal School would be able to elevate their strength a notch in the Blessed Land.

Afterward.

Igarashi Chitome didn't continue speaking but organized the school's senior officials to embark deeper into the Blessed Land.

Baiyu was very curious.

The strength that Igarashi Chitome just displayed clearly surpassed the peak of a Tier Four Martial Artist, but the rules within the Blessed Land prevented exerting the power of a Grandmaster or above. What was going on was still unclear.

The threat on the grassland had disappeared. The students eagerly rushed onto the grassland again, finding appropriate places to absorb Spiritual Qi and hone their strength. Baiyu, however, had no interest, as he simply could not rely on this Spiritual Qi to break through to Grandmaster.

All along.

He did not rely on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Soon enough, he set his sights on the deeper parts of the Blessed Land, possessing quite a few life-saving abilities, and with two attendants paving the way ahead, Baiyu figured it should be fine to mix into the deeper regions of the Blessed Land.

Soon, Baiyu decided to act upon it, closely following the pioneering team towards the depths of the Blessed Land.

The scenery within the Blessed Land was very pleasant.

Mountains piled upon mountains, closely adjoined, stretching endlessly, with lush trees on the hills and an atmosphere full of vitality.

However.

The only thing not present on these hills was living creatures.

Whether animals or humans, not a single soul was visible, as if it was a paradise for plants.

Baiyu did not rashly enter the mountains.

Because up ahead, the path into the mountain was blocked by a giant stone gate, and Igarashi Chitome and Amy were attacking this gate with others, possibly unable to break through the passage to enter the mountain anytime soon.

Driven by the principle of having come all this way, Baiyu began wandering around, quickly discovering a temple. Amidst the deep mountains of this Blessed Land, a temple suddenly appeared, quite unexpectedly. The main hall of the temple, the largest, tallest building, was continually flashing with golden light.

It seemed like some heavenly treasure was inside, attracting people.

Baiyu quickly set off for the mountain path leading to the temple, where it was very quiet, with lush vegetation on both sides blocking most of the sunlight from the small sun above the Blessed Land. Baiyu saw the temple not far away, but despite walking for quite some time, he hadn't reached it.

Crossing one hill, then another.

The saying "being close to the mountain means a horse dies" rings true here; despite appearing very near, it was in fact very far away, requiring several days and nights of running to reach.

After crossing several hilltops in succession, Baiyu stopped to carefully scrutinize the temple on the mountaintop, still gleaming with golden light not far away.

...

"Lorina, are you sure your positioning is correct? We've crossed ten hilltops already. That temple seems like a palace in the sky, completely unreachable."

On the other side.

A burly man panted heavily.

Beside him were several people with unusual hair and eyes; judging by their appearances, they were likely from the Northern Continent. Lorina was the oldest female in the group, appearing to be in her thirties.

She wore an Astrologer's Robe and held a crystal ball in her hand.

At this moment, faced with questioning.

Lorina frowned, picking up the crystal ball again to start a new round of divination. However, the conclusion of the divination did not change.

"We must keep moving forward to reach it. Wild Wolf, don't be too anxious, genuine treasures are always left for those who are patient."

Lorina advised.

The man called Wild Wolf snorted coldly, continuing to lead the group forward. Clearly, he was the central figure in the group, and aside from Lorina and another tall man in knight-like armor, no one else dared to oppose him.

A dozen or more people continued on.

After traversing several more hilltops, the crystal ball in Lorina's hand suddenly lit up, and her tone was slightly excited: "We're almost there, it's right on this mountain. Everyone, put your spirits up, we're about to gain our first income in the Blessed Land."

The Wild Wolf also took a deep breath: "Hmph, it would be worth the effort we put in to enter this Blessed Land through another entrance. By now, several other forces are likely making gains in different parts of the Blessed Land. If we can't acquire enough benefits, this operation will be a joke."

Everyone was aware of the importance of this operation.

The Great City can be considered a semi-open city, far less secluded than other countries, and entering the Blessed Land of the Great City is also somewhat easier compared to other places. Yet, even so, they paid a significant price to sneak into the Blessed Land.

If they fail to achieve anything, returning to the Northern Continent would be a disgrace to their leader.

"Let's hurry, while there are rules in the Blessed Land preventing others' Spirituality from detecting us, I hear the commotion, the experts from the Great City should be concentrating on attacking the main route into the mountain from the other side. If we wait until they're finished, our window of opportunity to act will close."

At this point.

The man dressed as a knight spoke solemnly.

Lorina nodded: "I think Anthony is right, we should hurry now."

Quickly.

The group energetically began ascending the mountain.

However, halfway up the mountain, Lorina suddenly stopped. Her senses were extraordinarily sharp, and she quickly looked towards the group: "Where is Rona?"

This shout attracted the attention of everyone in the group.

Soon.

They indeed noticed that somehow, someone was missing from their group. They were a professionally trained team, not prone to sudden separations, especially in this scenario.

Even if someone had to leave, they would notify beforehand.

On the silent mountain path, shadows of the trees swayed continuously, and the cool mountain breeze blowing brought a gloomy feeling to everyone's heart.

"Keep moving."

The Wild Wolf scanned around: "Keep an eye on each other, if anything happens, act immediately."

The group felt a bit daunted.

Such mysterious disappearances of an individual, without even a sound, are most terrifying. It's a fear of the unknown, they do not fear death; they have been professionally trained to overcome the fear of death.

However.

They feared dying for no clear reason, not even knowing what killed them.

After proceeding for a while longer.

Lorina shouted again: "Where are David and Jenny? They've disappeared again!"

This time, everyone could no longer remain calm.
