Shen Yanxiao returned from the rewarding journey. She bid farewell to the dean and Kehr and rushed back to the martial arts arena in high spirits.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the martial arts arena, Shen Yanxiao felt something was wrong. A faint smell of blood floated out of the martial arts arena. This smell was different from human blood; this smell belonged to undead blood.
The task she gave her students today was not intense, so how could there be students bleeding?
Shen Yanxiao felt that something was amiss and immediately walked into the martial arts arena.
The moment she entered, Shen Yanxiao’s face turned green.
The entire martial arts arena was in chaos. Her students were lying on the ground in all directions. Low groans overflowed from their mouths. All of them were covered with wounds and the ground was stained with blood.
The moment those teenagers saw Shen Yanxiao, they struggled to get up from the ground and tried to force themselves to stand up straight.
“Mentor Yan Di…” A young man with a scarred face looked at Shen Yanxiao with nervousness and uneasiness in his eyes.
Shen Yanxiao’s expression was gloomy, and her breathing became extremely slow.
All the teenagers quickly stood up straight, but the sharp pain all over their bodies made them shake violently.
All of their gazes focused on Shen Yanxiao, and nervousness pervaded every single cell of their bodies.
“What’s going on?” Shen Yanxiao’s voice was exceptionally gentle. There was no expression on her fair face, but it made all the teenagers nervous.
No one responded. All the teenagers lowered their heads, avoiding to answer the question.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and looked for Zhanye among the teenagers, but she could not find him.
Not only Zhanye, but even Shile was not in the martial arts arena.
“Where did Zhanye and Shile go?” Of the 47 students, only 45 remained.
The response to Shen Yanxiao’s question was still silence.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath.
“Is it Naken?”
When Shen Yanxiao said that name, the students in the martial arts arena showed a trace of abnormality. They looked up at Shen Yanxiao in surprise.
At this point, the answer was obvious.
“Where did he take Zhanye and Shile?” Shen Yanxiao was sure that Naken had come to the martial arts arena during her absence.
The reason why she thought of Naken was entirely because of the relationship between him, Zhanye and Shile. Previously, in the city, Naken had expressed strong hostility to the two teenagers. If Iry hadn’t appeared in time, both of them would have been given a hard time by Naken.
Now that both of them were missing, Shen Yanxiao immediately thought of Naken.
After a long silence, the teenagers finally spoke.
“Mentor Yan Di… Zhanye asked you not to meddle in this matter…” One of the teenagers hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth.
“Why?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes.
“Private fights are not allowed in the academy. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.”
“If you want me to stay out of it, tell me what happened,” Shen Yanxiao calmly said.
The teenagers looked at each other and hesitated.
Finally, a teenager stepped forward and lowered his head. “Mentor Yan Di, this is our problem. We don’t get along well with Naken and his group. There was constant friction before. This time, they took advantage of your departure and came to find trouble with us. We were useless and couldn’t beat them.”
