Cultivation region.
A month ago, this place was filled with people from various countries waiting for Ling and Zhuo Xia to return.
But now it is just empty.
Rector Xiang came back here. He asked the guards guarding the door of the cultivation region, "How is it? Is there movement from within?"
"Nothing, Rector," replied the guard. He sighed softly.
"According to the people who entered, Young Master entered the very end of the road. But when I checked, there was no movement from there," the guard continued.
"Alright, close this place again. I will meet the elder leader of the Bo Family," Rector Xiang said. He's massaging his temple.
He gave them a month of time both. It is illegal to open that door too often.
However, he already knew that the one inside was his student.
Rector Xiang walked out. He stared at the gate. As he turned around, he saw three people sitting pensively while looking towards the gate.
"You return. He will not come out" said Rector Xiang who actually could not accept this reality.
He knows these three people. They were Ling's friends. In the time when the others came and went to see Ling and Zhuo Xia come out, they were the ones who had always settled here every day.
"I couldn't believe it before I saw it with my own eyes" Liam said, clenching his hand. His voice was a little hoarse like holding back a cry.
"I won't believe it either" Yuan added. He stared straight at the gate.
Su Wen Ai did not say anything. His expression was also flat. But his eyes never lied. His eyes were empty. He obviously doesn't believe this either.
He couldn't possibly believe that a great person like Ling would just die. Yet now he disappeared in the cultivation realm? That's so ridiculous.
Everyone's out. Why didn't Ling and Zhuo Xia come out?
"You guys waiting for Chen Ling?" asked Rector Xiang who actually already knew their answer.
"Right," Liam replied firmly.
"Don't you guys know if the potion academy was attacked? Don't you know if Mom and Dad are missing? Don't you know what he's defending will be ruined? Are you gonna shut up without helping anything?" asked Rector Xiang trying to make the three of them aware.
"They're not ordinary people. If we help, we are still too weak. There are only defeats and we will trouble them" Yuan replied with a bitter smile.
"However, if he really doesn't come out, I promise I'll keep waiting for him and lock himself up for decades. After that, I will avenge everyone who will take him down," Yuan said with determination. There was a light of hope in his eyes.
While Liam and Su Wen Ai did not say anything. But you can see if they agree.
If others heard Yuan's words, perhaps they would consider him arrogant and overconfident. But you know who's talking?
He was the one under Ling's guidance.
Rector Xiang was stunned for a moment.
Then he told the guards to give the keys to the three of them.

Currently the leader of the elders had already returned to the Bo Family residence.
He spoke to the Bo Family's butler, "I've found Madam. He's hurt bad. Have the waiter take her to the room to treat."
"If I may know, where did you find Madam, Mister?" ask the curious butler.
"I went to the address written in the letter. There is only Madam. And it is also only today that Madam is here," the elder replied as he was. He was helped by someone to watch the place. So he could tell what footage was in that place.
"I'm still trying to find Great Lord Bo" the elder continued. He sighed resignedly. He had been very busy lately to replace Bo Minghao taking care of the Bo Family, plus had to look for them.

The potion academy was not as chaotic as one thought. Lu Zhong changed his mind and did not want to destroy the academy and wanted to master it all.
At the moment, all the teachers and students are taken hostage.
Including Uncle Qian is in charge of this.
"What do you want?" asked Uncle Qian to try to fight back. Although he knew that the person in front of him was a high-level cultivator, he was still fearless.
"just simple. I want the academy and all the potions that are here. All of this is inappropriate for you, so I will take it," Lu Zhong said in a haughty tone.
"I know you have some troops and weapons here" Lu Zhong continued.
While Uncle Qian was already very nervous. He looked at Chen Tian from the tail of his eyes. Inwardly, he said carefully to Chen Tian.
A while later, the Chen Tian troops that had been hiding since, they came out. They pointed the weapons towards Lu Zhong and the few people who were holding everyone hostage.
Lu Zhong was silent. He did not move and just swung his hand. However with that, he was able to push Chen Tuan and his army down.
They coughed up blood.
Uncle Qian was very surprised. Now he knows they are not comparable to these people.
Seeing Uncle Qian's fearful expression, Lu Zhong increasingly smiled arrogantly.
"Hows it? You already know your abilities, right? With just one wave of my hand I was able to kill all of you," Lu Zhong said, increasingly haughty.
"Master, there are three large jars containing low level potions and one large jar of low level potions. All of these potions reached 90% purity," reported one of Lu Zhong's subordinates.
"Very good," replied Lu Zhong who directly secured the potion.
"Now you know that Shadow City is not what it used to be. The powerful in power. If you have a lot of treasure but are weak, you will only be trampled and your wealth will be snatched away," Lu Zhong replied as he stared sinisterly at Uncle Qian.
"I'll give you three days to empty these people out of the academy. Otherwise, your bodies will be buried under this academy," said Lu Zhong who was now staring at all the disciples. He smiled with satisfaction at their suffering.
After saying that, Lu Zhong left the academy.
When they had all left, Uncle Qian walked over to Chen Tian.
"Mr Chen, how are you doing now?" asked Uncle Qian who was already very panicked when he saw Chen Tian full of blood.
"I will give you some recovery potions," said Zhuo Yang who had been silent since. He felt very scared just now.
"Don't let Young Master know this," Uncle Qian said. His view is very sharp.
"Why?" asked Zhuo Yang who did not understand this.
"Young Master is very protective of his people. If Young Master knows this, I can't imagine the consequences," Uncle Qian replied with a hint of hopeful light from his eyes.
