"How audacious!"

The Great Elder's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with a vicious gaze, as if he was about to devour someone.

The students of the East Region Academy rebelled. They even killed Patriarch Seven of the academy!

He had already lost a lot of face, especially in front of Cheng Qin Luo and the others. If this matter were to spread to the Myriad Sword Sect, the elders of the sect would definitely think that he had poor management of the East Region Academy.

Besides, this was not just a matter of losing face!

The real cause of death was that the azure fire was actually stolen away!

Even a fool would know the value of the azure fire. It would have been fine if he couldn't get the azure fire because of some other reason, but right now, it was actually because of the rebellion of the students of the Eastern Region Academy under his management that had taken the azure fire. This was simply the same as directly opposing the Myriad Sword Sect!

If any of the sect's big shots suspected that he had arranged this beforehand, he would try to deceive them in order to steal the Azure Blue Flames … The Head Elder almost couldn't imagine how the sect would punish him!

Thinking of this, the Great Elder couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Immediately inform the academy. Aside from the servants that are left behind to guard the gates, everyone else has rushed out to investigate and seal off all routes for exiting the mountain. Without my permission and orders, no one is allowed to take even half a step out of Boundless Forest!

The Great Elder's face was ferocious as he clenched his teeth and growled, "Immediately go down and bring everyone up. Count everyone up. At the same time, identify each other. Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find that little bastard!"

"Yes!" Great Elder! "

The others quickly responded.

At this moment, all of the teachers and elders understood that this situation was too serious. If they did not handle this situation well, a disaster would befall them.

"Deacon Su, has the azure fire really been snatched away?" When he saw the ashen faces of the Great Elder and the others, Cheng Qin Luo realized that something was wrong and could not help but frown as he asked.

"Junior brother Cheng, don't be impatient. No matter who took the Azure Fire, he will leave the Boundless Forest in the end. As long as we block all routes, we will definitely be able to find him." The Great Elder said with a gentle tone.

"Humph!"

Hearing that, Cheng Shuang Luo's face immediately darkened, and said in a stern voice: "Deacon Su, do you need me to tell you how important the azure blue flames are? If you can't find the Blue Flames, you can go to the sect and beg for forgiveness! "

The Great Elder's heart sank. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Junior Brother Cheng, don't worry. I will definitely find the azure fire."

Cheng Shuang said in disgust, "That woman is such an idiot. As a cultivator, she brought so many students with her. To be killed so easily, she really deserves to die!"

The Head Elder nodded with a bitter smile. He was no longer in the mood to blame Shui Ani. After all, Shui Ani was dead. No matter how angry he was, it was useless.

Fortunately, there was still hope for recovery. Although the azure fire had been snatched away by someone, Great Elder knew clearly that no one would be able to hide in the Forbidden Land of Boundless for a long period of time.

As long as that little bastard that stole the azure flame came up, he would definitely be able to catch him. At that time, he would definitely be able to flay that little bastard's skin and tendons!

In the Boundless Valley.

Lin Cheng woke up from his cultivation state. He couldn't help but reveal a strange expression on his face.

"This is truly strange …"

He couldn't help but mutter.

In the past half hour, he had been trying to investigate the black metal piece. However, the result made him disappointed. There was still no reaction from the black iron piece.

Ever since the black metal block had inexplicably entered his dantian, aside from testing his Spiritual Aura's compatibility in the East State Academy, the black iron block was like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring the Spiritual Aura he absorbed.

If not for the sudden movement of the black metal, which suppressed the power of the Azure Flame's explosion, Lin Cheng would have almost forgotten that there was such a strange thing in his body.

However, the black metal always changed at the most crucial moment, which made Lin Cheng realize that he had to figure out the black metal's origins.

It might not take too long, maybe less than half a year or at most less than a year. He might have to try to break into the Danhai Realm.

One of the most important steps to break into the Danhai Realm was to shatter one's own dantian so that it could transform into a Dan Sea and be reborn.

However, the black iron piece was in his Dantian. If he wanted to shatter his own Dantian, who knows what the black iron piece would do. If the black iron block made any strange moves when he was trying to break into the Danhai Realm, he might become a cripple, let alone a failure.

Therefore, taking advantage of the movement of the black iron piece, Lin Cheng immediately tried to check the black iron piece, hoping to link it with his soul force or his mind.

If it was possible, he even hoped that he could force the black metal out of his body.

However, the result made him very disappointed. The black iron piece regained its calmness after suppressing the blue fire. No matter how hard Lin Cheng tried, the black iron block didn't move at all.

However, Lin Cheng also discovered something strange. When he tried to communicate with the black iron piece with his will, although the black iron block didn't have any reaction, he could clearly feel that the black iron block was in his dantian.

But when he tried to use his elemental energy to communicate with the black metal, he was surprised to discover that his elemental energy could not sense the existence of the black metal at all!

If he did not channel his elemental energy with his will, perhaps his elemental energy would not even be able to touch the black metal.

He was secretly surprised by this discovery.

Currently, he was already at the second level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, and elemental energy was like a part of his body. Anything that existed, his elemental energy should be able to touch it, but he could not feel the existence of the black metal.

"Could it be …" The black iron piece only responds to spirit energy? "

Lin Cheng thought to himself.

He thought back to when he participated in the examination at the East State Academy. It was because he had used a stone to separate and absorb the spiritual energy that the black metal reacted. Moreover, the black metal did not absorb the elemental energy in his body and only absorbed all the spiritual energy that was absorbed by his Mysterious Technique.

"That's not right!"

Lin Cheng suddenly shook his head and thought: "If it only responds to Spiritual Energy, then when the cyan flame erupted, I did not absorb any Spiritual Energy. Why would the black metal have a reaction?" He shouldn't have said … The black metal block should be automatically protecting the owner right? "

He did not believe that the black iron piece had recognized him as its master. No matter what the origin of the black iron block was, he had not had the time to refine it. If he could not even communicate with it, then how could he recognize him as its master?

"Let's do this for now. We should first refine the azure fire."

After a few more attempts, Lin Chen was sure that he would not be able to communicate with the black metal for the time being. He could only skip it for now and refine the azure fire.

Although it appeared to be a small amount, it was only a relatively small amount. If this third of the blue flames were to appear in the outside world, it would be enough to cause countless alchemists and blacksmiths to go crazy. Even an expert with a high cultivation would be tempted by this.

At least, according to Lin City's knowledge, even in the cultivation world, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Flame was not that easily obtainable.

It was fortunate that he had only obtained a single strand of azure fire in his previous life, and that only a few people knew of it. Otherwise, once this news spread out, even with the protection of Anya and the entire country, as well as Zuo Mu's personal bodyguards, he would have already been captured by cultivators.

The elemental energy wrapped around the azure flames as Lin City began to refine it.

He did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. Although the black metal piece had suppressed the green blue flame that was about to erupt, who knew if the black metal would move again if the green blue fire once again erupted.

It was impossible for Lin Cheng to place all his hopes on the black metal. Thus, he had to be extra careful.

Although Lin Cheng had already experienced refining a flame tongue, it was still extremely difficult for him to refine the green blue flame at this moment. This was because the green blue flame essence was contained within it.

The Heaven's Divination Art circulated and the meridians in his body revolved at an extreme speed. An endless flow of elemental energy enveloped the azure blue flame, slowly devouring it …

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Above the Boundless Forbidden Land.

The Great Elder's expression became increasingly ugly. In the end, his face was completely ashen and his gaze was fierce like a ferocious beast that was about to choose its prey. It caused the nearby students to subconsciously distance themselves from him, fearing that the Elders would vent their anger on him.

After three days of searching, the person who'd snatched away the azure flame finally had a rough outline.

According to the memories of the few students who were rescued, when they were attacked, that person did not wear the attire of a student. This person even interrogated a few students, asking them to tell them about the news regarding the East Region Academy.

Obviously, this person was not a student from the East Continent Academy, but an outsider.

"If that's the case, then this person must have been attracted by the movements of the blue flame while it was evolving. He had already entered the forbidden area before us, which is why we didn't sense him at all."

One of the elders analyzed, "For him to be able to kill Patriarch Seven, it means that he must be powerful. He must at least be a cultivator!"

The Head Elder nodded slowly with a darkened face.

Shuiyan was a cultivator. Even if her strength was suppressed by the laws of the world when she entered the forbidden area, she would at least maintain her strength around the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm. Moreover, a cultivator's battle experience and battle awareness were incomparable to a young martial artist's.

Therefore, it was now certain that the person who had attacked Shui Ani was a cultivator with a strength much higher than Shui Ani's.

This conclusion caused the Great Elder and the rest to feel somewhat helpless. If the students of the Eastern Region Academy rebelled, it would be better. It would not be difficult to uncover them.

However, if it was just a cultivator, then it would be meaningless for them to send their students and teachers to block all the routes.

"Humph!" A mere rogue cultivator dares to steal food from under the nose of my Myriad Sword Sect?

Cheng Shuang's face was gloomy. He turned his head to the people beside him and said, "Inform the sect and search for all the cultivators nearby. I want to see who has no idea of life and death, and actually dares to oppose my Myriad Sword Sect!"
