Lin Cheng's scrutinizing gaze stared at the three of them, causing them to feel uneasy.

They knew that regardless if Lin City was the person the Myriad Sword Sect and Eastern Region Academy were looking for, their situation wasn't good.

Firstly, if Lin City was truly as he said and it was an old friend of the Myriad Sword Sect's elder Zuo Mu, it also meant that he was on the same side as the Myriad Sword Sect.

They couldn't guarantee that Lin Cheng wouldn't attack them in rage.

Just from Lin Cheng's terrifying sword attack just now, it was clear to them that even the three of them together would not be a match for Lin Cheng. Not to mention that Lin Cheng wasn't alone at all.

Taking a step back, if Lin City wasn't the old friend of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect's Elder Zuo Mu and was pretending to be it, then it was very likely that he was the person the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was looking for.

Just think about it. How could a man who had killed the Seventh Elder of the East Region Academy, Shui Ani, and had also taken the Blue Flames, be a pushover?

If they were to stand in the Lin City's position, they would definitely kill Zhang Xuan to keep his mouth shut.

Therefore, no matter which possibility it was, they would face a life or death crisis.

"Go, senior …"

Seeing the deep expression in Lin Cheng's eyes, the sabre practitioner swallowed hard and said, "The three of us definitely have no intention of offending you. We only want to keep our lives, that's all. Senior, please be magnanimous …"

"Where are you going?"

Lin Cheng interrupted him and suddenly asked.

The long blade martial artist froze, but he didn't have the slightest hesitation and directly said, "We plan to go back to the East Continent Academy."

"Oh?"

Lin Cheng's brows twitched, "Didn't you want to rebel out of the East Continent Academy?" Why are you returning to the academy now? "

The long-blade warrior explained somewhat awkwardly, "We also …" "I just feel that it might be safer to go back now …"

"Under the lights!"

Zhu Zifu suddenly said.

Lin Cheng also understood what was going on. He asked, "You want to use the Eastern Region Academy to avoid being pursued?"

One had to say, although the thoughts of the three of them were somewhat skewed towards each other, it was still a viable option.

Right now, the majority of the students are in Boundless Forest. There aren't many people guarding them from within, and these three people are all students of the academy, so they are naturally very familiar with the interior of the academy.

More importantly, perhaps no one would have thought that those who betrayed the academy would actually return back to the academy.

Hence, no matter if it was the people who wanted to capture him, or the people who wanted to lock him down, they wouldn't pay too much attention to the Eastern Region Academy.

Thus, the Eastern Region Academy became the best and most unexpected escape route.

Thinking up to this point, Lin Cheng couldn't help but look at Zhu Ziquan, who immediately understood his meaning. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm not familiar with the Institute's interior."

She had spent so much time with Lin City that even before she entered the Eastern Region Academy, she had already come to a tacit understanding with Lin City. She could understand the meaning behind Lin City's gaze.

Obviously, Lin City felt that borrowing the East Continent's school was a pretty good idea, so they wanted to ask if she was familiar with the East Continent's school.

This was because although the Eastern Region Academy was feasible, it was built on a foundation that required them to be very familiar with the academy's interior. Otherwise, if they were discovered, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

There were not many people who stayed behind to guard the East Continent Academy, but if one were to say that there weren't even a single expert, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, Lin Cheng couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly looked at the three saber-wielding martial practitioners who were still in shock.

"If I let you guys return to the East Region Academy, how would I let you leave?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

The three of them were feeling apprehensive, but they were surprised when they heard Lin Cheng's question. They hurriedly said, "Senior, behind the East Continent Academy, there is a small path in the medicine garden that leads to the Azure Province. We plan to escape from there and leave the area of influence of the East Continent Academy and the Myriad Sword Sect."

"Alright, let's go together." Lin Cheng said.

"W-what?"

The three of them were stunned.

In the next moment, they immediately reacted. Lin City was indeed pretending to be the friend of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Elder. It was very possible that he was the one who killed Elder Shui Ani and stole the blue fire!

Otherwise, why would Lin City want to escape?

After all, he had the jade token from the male pet of the Myriad Sword Sect on him!

With this speculation in their minds, the three of them became even more apprehensive. This was a ruthless man who could kill Shui Ani. If they were to be with him, they could be silenced at any time.

"Don't worry, as long as the three of you cooperate, I won't do anything to you."

Looking at the expressions of the three, Lin City knew what they were thinking.

How could he refuse?

The three of them smiled bitterly and nodded their heads, naturally agreeing.

"This is the place!"

"That's right, there are still traces of burn marks here!"

Cheng Shuang released his spiritual will and felt a slight fluctuation in the surrounding air. His face darkened. The only possibility that a flame could appear here was a blue flame.

When he thought about how the azure flame had been snatched away from him right under his nose, his mood turned extremely bad.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Cheng Shuang Luo's eyes focused on a large tree not far away. There was a wound on the tree trunk; it was obvious that it was caused by a fight.

Chengdu immediately walked over and carefully observed it.

"Junior brother Cheng, did you discover something?" A cultivator asked.

"This is …"

Cheng Qin Luo's face suddenly changed, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the pile of ashes, his eyes filled with rage, and roared: "Little An! "It's Little An!"

The few cultivators beside him were all stunned. Xiao An? Isn't that the male pet of Chengpero?

The person who had been burnt to ashes was actually Xu Zian?

"Bastard!"

Cheng Shuang Luo's face turned red as he roared in anger, "Chase after him! No matter where this person fled to, he must catch up to him! I must skin him alive! "Ah!

One of the cultivators frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Cheng, are you sure it was Xu Zian who was killed?"

Chengdu gritted his teeth and said, "This is the mark left by Heart Destruction Palm. I personally gave this skill to Little An. The only person here who knows this skill is him!"

"Heart Destruction Palm?"

The few cultivators carefully looked at the traces left behind on the tree trunk and could not help but slightly nod their heads. This was indeed left behind by a palm technique, but this Heart Destruction Palm was obviously a martial artist's combat skill and did not enter their eyes.

"Senior Brothers, please split up and give chase. As long as you meet anyone, come down and investigate. When we return to the sect, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Junior brother Cheng, you're too polite. It's our duty to retrieve the azure flames."

"That's right, junior brother Cheng. You don't need to be too angry. The most important thing right now is to recover the azure fire."

The few cultivators said in unison.

Although they were people from the Myriad Sword Sect, they were only ordinary disciples. Although Cheng Yiluo was their junior brother, he was Elder Zuo's direct disciple and his position was far above theirs. Currently, it was the time for Chengdu to be furious so naturally, they were very cooperative.

"Junior brother Cheng, should we inform Deacon Su to send more people from the East Region Academy to investigate the matter?" A cultivator asked.

"The people from the East Region Academy are all a bunch of useless trash. Ants, even after they've searched for so many days, there still hasn't been any results. It can be seen that they're a bunch of idiots that can't be counted on!"

Cheng Shuang Luo gritted his teeth and said, "We can only make it harder for our senior brothers. I, Cheng Shuang, hereby promise that if anyone can capture that person, when we return to the sect, I'll give them a high-grade magic treasure as a thank-you gift!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. High-grade magic treasures … even if they were cultivators, they would not be able to easily obtain high-grade magic treasures. Having a middle-grade magic treasure was already not bad.

"Don't worry, junior brother Cheng. We'll definitely try our best."

"Junior brother Cheng, we'll take action right now!"

A few cultivators immediately said in succession. Then, they quickly flew into the air and chased in different directions.

Cheng Qin Luo stood at his original position, looking at the pile of ashes on the ground, his face was as calm as water, "Little An, I will definitely avenge you!"

Just as Cheng Shuang went into a rage and the Myriad Sword Sect cultivators were crazily investigating, Lin City's group encountered a group of people interrogating them.

However, Lin Cheng and the rest remained calm and composed, not the slightest bit nervous.

"Where are you guys going?"

"In reply to Senior, we were ordered by the experts and elders of the Myriad Sword Sect to go to Yongan City. This is the jade tablet of the Myriad Sword Sect. Please take a look."

"Ugh!" "Since that's the case, then let's just go. If we run into any suspicious people on the way, we'll capture them immediately!"

"Yes!" "Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother."

In the next two days, this kind of scene would appear from time to time.

With the cooperation of the three of them, the journey was extremely smooth. The students who were blocking the road saw that a few of them were dressed in the robes of the East State Academy. The three of them were also familiar with each other, so they did not arouse any suspicions as they smoothly arrived at the East Region Academy.

"Brother Lin, the medicine garden is just in front of us. There are guards here, so you must be careful not to step into the medicine garden. Otherwise, you will be treated as a thief. At that time, it will be troublesome."

Lin Cheng nodded his head and said, "Lead the way."

The three of them hurriedly led the way, and the group easily passed through the medicine garden and left the Eastern Region Academy.

Ten days later.

"Brother Lin, this place is no longer within the Eastern Region Academy's area of influence. Although it is still within the territory of the Thousand Sword Sect, I'm sure that no one will chase after us anymore, so …"

"You want to leave?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Brother Lin, please grant us your wish."

The three of them clasped their hands and stared at Lin Cheng nervously.
