Chapter 296 - Emergency

Looking at the densely packed white bones, someone made a bold guess. “Could it be that this Blood Peacock is a divine demon that has successfully taken human form and cultivated to the Prime Master Realm?”

Everyone felt uneasy when they heard this guess.

It had to be known that not every divine demon could transform into a human form. Only divine demons who had broken through to level-10 demonic power and had successfully survived the calamity lightning could successfully transform into a human form.

Before every divine demon took human form, they were powerful divine demons.

After this type of demon beast took human form, they would hide in the human world and cultivate again. Very few divine demons could cultivate to the Prime Master Realm after taking human form.

At least, Lin Jiansheng and the others had not met one yet.

If the Blood Peacock was really a divine demon, then it would be too terrifying.

Lin Jiansheng had never come into close contact with the mysterious Prime Master called Blood Peacock before, so naturally, he could not guess his identity and background.

He said, “After tonight, the peace in the Holy Spirit Continent will be ruined. This world will start to become chaotic.” The Blood Peacock had killed 108 beast tamers in one night, and it was declaring war on all the beast tamers with bloodshed.

“Grand Master Caro is the Beast Tamer of the Divine Moon Empire. I will bring their remains back to their hometown. I will have to trouble everyone to take away the remains of the others. Everyone, let’s meet again if fate allows!”

“Supremacy Lin, let’s meet again if fate allows!”

Lin Jiansheng placed the corpses of Caro Qing and the others into a coffin and left this world that was filled with bloodshed.

…

The center of the Abyssal Origin Forest was a high mountain range. This was a no man’s land, a world occupied by high-level demon beasts.

No Beast Tamer had ever dared to charge into the center of the abyss alone. Even the Grand State Master didn’t have the courage.

However, at this moment, a man in a dark red robe was walking along the cliff alone in this absolute domain that forbade humans from appearing.

The precipice beneath his feet was ten thousand zhang deep, but the man’s expression was calm. Every step he took was very firm, and there was not the slightest hesitation or fear.

He walked to the highest mountain.

Through the faint light of the dawn, he could see the edge of the Abyssal Origin Forest and also see some flying demon beasts fighting in the sky.

Soon, the sun came out of the distant horizon.

A glaring light beam drilled out from the end of the horizon and landed on the man’s robe. There were deep and shallow blood traces on the dark red robe.

The man faced the sun, took off his hat, and unbuttoned his robe.

The hat and robe were all taken off, revealing the man’s real face.

He was as fair as snow and wore a dark purple suit. His appearance was surprisingly young and handsome. He looked like he was only in his twenties.

The man’s eyebrows were raised slightly, and his eyes were long and narrow. Such a pair of eyes should have a sharp gaze, but his gaze was filled with sorrow.

His gaze looked compassionate and pitiful.

The morning sun enveloped him, and a gentle breeze blew away the thick smell of blood on his body. When the smell of blood completely dissipated, the man turned around and stared at the stone tablet behind him.

That stele was very old, and the surface of the stele was covered in cracks. The stele was covered in mossy marks. He squatted down in front of the stele and reached out to gently touch it. He said softly, “Mother, long time no see.”

…

The news of the tragic deaths of 108 beast tamers in Rakshasa Kingdom quickly spread to the ears of the Beast Tamer Alliance. Many people thought that it was a rumor.

However, at 8 am that morning, the Beast Tamer Alliance’s official account released a death notice on the alliance website and confirmed the authenticity of this rumor.

The officials called this change “Declaration of War 1.”

The Divine Realm Academy had confiscated the students’ phones, so these students did not know about the incident in the Rakshasa Kingdom, nor did they know about the existence of the Blood Peacock.

In order to survive, the new students were still busy completing missions non-stop. In order to aim for the Expert Rankings, the older students were all training hard and hoping to achieve a good result in the quarterly competition.

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao returned to the campus. They saw a red banner on the school gate. It said—

“Congratulations to our school for winning this year’s basketball competition!

Beneath the banner were pictures of eight participants.

In the photo, Yu Huang was wearing a loose green ball gown with a mask on her face. Her long hair was tied up high and she wore a red headband. She held a basketball in one hand and looked at the camera arrogantly.

She was a celebrity and was a professional. Her picture was the most eye-catching one on the banner.

Sheng Xiao stood at the door and looked up at the photo a few times. He really loved how Yu Huang looked in her jersey. She looked especially sexy.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao was mesmerized by her photo, Yu Huang said, “I heard from Yin Rong that you participated in the basketball league on behalf of our school when you were in your second or third year. I heard that you were unstoppable on the court.”

Sheng Xiao said, “I fight more fiercely.”

“You must spar with me when you have the time.”

“Okay.”

It was break time. The door was closed.

The gate of the Divine Realm Academy was not guarded. There was a spiritual power sensing stone beside the gate. After every new student officially registered for a class, the teacher in charge of living would inject their spiritual power into the sensing stone.

When they returned to school, as long as they placed their palms on the sensor stone, the school gate would open automatically.

Yu Huang placed her palm on the sensor stone and injected a trace of weak spiritual power into the stone. The spiritual power stone flashed with a faint green light, and the tightly shut door opened on both sides.

Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang had just entered the academy when they heard a sharp alarm.

It had been a year since she entered the academy. This was the first time Yu Huang had heard such an alarm. Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “What is this emergency alarm?”

Sheng Xiao looked up at the alarm hovering above the school. “That’s right. The school will only ring when there’s an emergency. It’s the first time I’ve heard this ring since I joined the school fifteen years ago.”

Something big must have happened!

When they heard the alarm, all the teachers and students rushed to the school field. Even the professors and students who were in seclusion cultivation were interrupted.

Countless spiritual lights flashed in the sky and flew towards the Divine Realm Academy’s field.

Yu Huang spread her wings and flew to the field with Sheng Xiao.

On the field, the students had already lined up according to their grades and classes.

The students were standing on the left side of the field, while the Logistics Department and the Breeding Department were on the right. A group of professors and leaders were floating in the sky, and some were sitting on trees.

As the discipline teacher, Sheng Xiao naturally had to stand at the front of the team. With him around, no one dared to cause trouble or make a commotion.
