Chapter 117: The Disturbance

It was almost dawn and everyone was waiting for the final showdown. Everyone knew that the true bloodbath would only happen at the end and only a few hours were remaining before the time limit was over.

The true battle was starting.

As the sun rose on the horizon, all the remaining disciples in the designated zone went out of their hiding zone. After all, most of the them weren't confident in hunting at night so they had spent their time, resting and recuperating from previous battles and to prepare for next ones.

Two hours left.

The participants ran around, searching for other participants and steal their Spirit Cores. Hunting the Spiritual Creatures in such short interval wouldn't make much difference so they chose the best option—take others Spirit Cores.

Ying Yue was sitting on a tree's branch, as usual and looking over the Tando Woodlands. There were a few Aerial Spiritual flying around in the vast skies but they didn't do anything to Ying Yue.

'What is that Rune Formation for? Aghh! Just activate it already.'

Just then, Ying Yue felt her heart skip a beat as her vision blurred for a second before returning to normal. She hurriedly stood up, completely alert.

She narrowed her eyes when she found nothing unusual but she was sure something had changed in her surroundings, she just couldn't pinpoint it.

She tried to look around to find anything unusual but everything was same. However, she noticed that every disciple had a strange look on their faces and some of the had even gone in full alert mode.

'So, I wasn't the only one who felt that. Such wide effects, is that Rune Formation already active? I don't sense anything different...'

However, she was feeling unease at the sudden situation where she didn't knew about her opponents. She turned into a blue as she chose to go towards that cave the two figures had visited last night.

Only Core Formation Realm experts had the ability to win in this situation but normally, a group of Foundation Realm wouldn't survive. However, this group was different.

'Let's see what you do in this situation!'

Ying Yue suddenly stopped on top of a rock as she knocked her head lightly. Her confusion when she looked around and found nothing, but the headache was still there as if something was messing with her brain.

'Is it another mental attack? But this is too real. Something is wrong but what? My five senses are telling me everything is fine but my instincts are warning me of the disturbance.

It isn't deathly for sure but then what is it?'

Ying Yue crouched down on the ground as she thought of everything she had observed till now in details. From how other disciples reacted to how the two figures were reacting.

Ying Yue then closed her eyes as she decided to abandon her five senses as she had been practicing for many years. However, she failed again. Since the day she had began to rely on her instincts, she had also decided to create a technique related to it. However, she never succeeded.

Ying Yue sat on the spot for a few seconds before rising as she thought.

'Whatever! I'll just see what they're upto. The only thing I fear in this zone is what Sister Ning prepared for me. Knowing her, she definitely put something even I wouldn't be able to deal with.'

She jumped on the tree as she once again looked for the cave she was aiming for. Soon, she found it in the distance and went towards it. Her headache grew because of the disturbance but she ignored it.

She was more sensitive to these matters and because of that, she was getting headaches. She was sure that others were fine.

She narrowed her eyes as she got closer to the cave as the alarming sensation grew within her. It was as if she was running towards her death on her own accords. Nevertheless, she had made up her mind and continued to move forward.

What she didn't know was that everyone was heading towards the same location.
