172: Return to the Great Sage Academy, next steps

Countless spectators cheered for Ye Kong in front of Kyoto TV's news live channel, while Ye Kong was currently being escorted out of the Land of the Gods by several Royal Family experts.

Though it was called an escort, Ye Kong was actually the strongest among their group.

The Royal Family experts had also received a temporary order from Royal Family members, stating that Ye Kong had encountered a powerful Divine Artifact attack and his life was in danger.

They rushed to the Land of the Gods, but when they arrived, what they saw was not Ye Kong being hunted by a Divine Artifact.

Instead, it was an extremely terrifying scene.

An Asura appeared before their eyes, surrounded by Killing Intent and lightning, and in his hand, he held the broken Demon Lotus Sword!

Then they heard the Asura exclaim: “My precious sword! How did it break!”

The experts who had rushed to the rescue were stunned on the spot, not knowing what they had come for.

Perhaps their purpose was to witness Ye Kong suppress the Divine Artifact with their own eyes!

Fifty miles outside the Royal Family territory, the strong ones bid farewell to Ye Kong, and at the same time said: “Asura Venerable, I remember you are from Jinan City, right?”

Ye Kong nodded and said: “My hometown is Jinan City, and I grew up in Jinan City.”

The strong one looked around and said to the other guards: “You watch the surroundings, make sure no one is following us, don't let the Asura Venerable be assassinated again!”

“Yes!”

The guards scattered to investigate the surroundings.

Only then did the strong one confidently say to Ye Kong: “My Lord asked me to tell the Asura Venerable that there is a forest in the outskirts of your hometown, and that place hides a treasure that has not been discovered for thousands of years!”

Ye Kong was shocked. He had never seen or heard of such a treasure in Jinan City!

Ye Kong quickly asked: “What kind of treasure? Has no one gone to retrieve it?”

The strong one said mysteriously: “If it were an ordinary treasure, it would naturally have been taken away long ago!”

“It is precisely because this treasure is extraordinary and rare that it has been preserved in the forest on the outskirts of Jinan City!”

“This treasure is hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Jinan City. Normally, it is hidden in the Void Realm and cannot be found at all.”

“But now, our Royal Family has detected a distortion in the forest, and the Secret Realm that has been dormant for a long time has reopened. This mysterious treasure will surely reappear in the Human World!”

“My Lord also knows that the Asura Venerable lacks a suitable treasure, which is why he informed you of this matter!”

Ye Kong agreed deeply and quickly thanked him: “Thank you, I will go back to Jinan City first to acquire this rare treasure!”

The strong one nodded affirmingly, then reminded: “Asura Venerable, after you get the treasure, don't forget to participate in the Ten Kingdoms Tournament. At that time, you will be able to embark on the invincible path to becoming a god!”

Ye Kong officially bid farewell to the strong one.

Mysterious treasure!

Ye Kong was determined to get it this time.

His original weapon, the Nine Stars Linked Blades, was destroyed by Long Ao. If he were to buy another one and strengthen it, it would probably require massive resources.

Energy value should be spent on the blade.

When he achieves godhood in the future, he will definitely need massive amounts of energy value. Should he not prepare for a rainy day now?

If he could get this treasure, he would save a large amount of energy value!

Not to mention that this is a rare treasure in the world, and it will definitely significantly improve his combat power.

Thinking along this line, Ye Kong became more and more excited, and was full of excitement for this mysterious treasure!

Preferably a precious saber!

Otherwise, his Heaven Rank saber techniques would be useless.

Ye Kong walked faster and faster, unconsciously releasing Thousand Mile Swift Travel.

Oh, right, since he's going back to Jinan City, why not ask Lin Yaer to come along.

Lin Yaer is the daughter of Lin Bin, the City Lord of Jinan City. Perhaps with her help, he might be able to get some information related to the treasure!

Ye Kong immediately changed direction and headed to Great Sage Academy.

Outside Great Sage Academy, Lin Yaer and others entered the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield for training under the guidance of their mentors.

Since Ye Kong defeated Long Tian, the reputation of Great Sage Academy has gradually grown, and the Disciples in the academy all take Ye Kong as their role model and Cultivate very diligently!

Lin Yaer constantly moved in the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, killing one fifth-order Demonic Beast after another.

“Sister Ya'er is so amazing!”

“As expected of Sister Ke'er!”

Lin Yaer's figure flickered, like a smooth and soft ribbon, moving like the wind in the forest of the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, making frequent moves!

“I must catch up with Ye Kong as much as possible!”

Lin Yaer thought this, raised her hand, and killed another Vicious Beast.

The mentor couldn't help but scold Lin Yaer at this time: “Lin Yaer! Slow down, the junior students still need to train, you've killed all the Demonic Beasts!”

Lin Yaer only then reacted, looking at the Vicious Beast rushing towards her, she quickly withdrew the power in her hand and dodged.

“Good!”

Lin Yaer flipped her upper body, exerted force with her feet, leaped up, and landed on a big tree.

“Let the younger brothers and sisters practice!”

The junior students immediately circulated their True Qi, ready to face the Vicious Beast in front of them.

The mentor said at this time: “All of you, think carefully about how I taught you, and quickly form a formation to meet the enemy!”

The students immediately formed a formation. Although their faces were still a bit green, and many of their expressions showed that they were very scared.

But these weak students still resolutely launched an attack on the Demonic Beast.

Lin Yaer watched these junior students fight with the Vicious Beast, and while sighing, she couldn't help but recall the days when she and Ye Kong first met in the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, fighting for survival!

Later, she gradually realized that Ye Kong's combat power was simply invincible, and he was not from the same world as her at all.

When Ye Kong defeated Long Ao, he also watched from a distance, witnessing the birth of a Genius, the first place in the Ten Thousand Clans Tournament.

Now, Ye Kong must have gone to some other place to pursue even greater power, right?

While she was thinking, the junior students and the Demonic Beast entangled for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to defeat the Demonic Beast.

It was only with the mentor's help several times that they barely defeated the Demonic Beast.

The students cheered!

Ye Kong, where are you now? What are you doing?

Several inner court Disciples who were also on the tree looked at Lin Yaer's distracted appearance and asked curiously: “Lin Yaer, what's wrong with you?”

“You look so distracted?”

Another student next to her said: “Hey, you don't know, since parting with God Child Ye Kong, Lin Yaer has always been like this, in a daze.”

Lin Yaer was startled, her face flushed red.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Big Brother Ye Kong already has someone he likes, it's not my turn to like him!”

Several inner court Disciples laughed.

“Oh, Lin Yaer, everything is about fighting for it yourself, can't you try?”

“Yes, yes, we all support you in pursuing your own happiness!”

Everyone started to instigate Lin Yaer to pursue Ye Kong.

Lin Yaer sighed, knowing that Big Brother Ye Kong was not that kind of person at all. It was already good that Big Brother Ye Kong was willing to acknowledge her as a friend now.

If she were to interfere with Ye Kong's relationship with Young Miss Ye, she probably wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore!

As Lin Yaer thought this, a terrifying sound suddenly came from the forest.

A roar came from deep within the forest.

Immediately after, there was a powerful pressure.

Several inner court Disciples lost their balance and almost fell from the tree.

“Not good, it's a powerful Vicious Beast!”

“How can such a powerful Vicious Beast appear in this outer area!” The few of them were all startled.

Even the inner court Disciples were so suppressed by this powerful pressure that they couldn't breathe, and the junior students below were even more so, all of them suppressed to the ground by the pressure released by the Vicious Beast.

The mentor was also greatly surprised and muttered to himself: “Could it be that after the Ten Thousand Clans Tournament and the defeat of the foreign races, they started to drive wild beasts to the outer areas?”

During the Ten Thousand Clans Tournament, Ye Kong almost defeated all the foreign races participating, leaving them with no one to use and countless casualties.

Many foreign races, in order to retaliate against the Human Race, drove the Demonic Beasts from deep within the forest to the outer areas to hunt the Human Race.

This way, the Human Race had no evidence to show it was done by foreign races, but Demonic Beasts would still come to kill people, achieving the foreign races' goal.

This tactic of borrowing a knife to kill was played very smoothly.

The mentor immediately shouted to the inner court Disciples: “Go quickly and see what's going on!”

The inner court Disciples, including Lin Yaer, moved at the sound and quickly ran in the direction from which the pressure emanated.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a giant wild boar covered in flames!

Blazing Wild Boar!

Its entire body was exuding terrifying flames, and it should not have appeared in this place at all!

This was simply not a Demonic Beast that the Great Sage Academy group could contend with!

Lin Yaer was also greatly surprised at this moment. She questioned her ability to kill the wild boar.

Even if she risked her life, she probably could only injure this Blazing Wild Boar.

The other inner court Disciples were even more nervous and immediately reported the situation to the mentor.

The mentor was greatly shocked and fell silent.

The Blazing Wild Boar did not give anyone time to think. A small patch of sharp quills on its back had been pulled out, revealing flesh and skin, which looked like it had been injured by someone.

Lin Yaer could tell that this was definitely driven out by foreign races, but there was no way to repel the enemy at the moment.

As the wild boar approached, a strange phenomenon of lightning flashing gradually appeared in the sky.

The mentor exclaimed in surprise: “Not good, this wild boar is probably a special kind, it even has an unusual phenomenon!”

“You all leave quickly, I will hold it off here!”

Lin Yaer flew forward and stood with the mentor.

“I'll stay too!”

At this moment, Lin Yaer was already prepared to die!

It's just that the rolling thunder in the sky always gave her a familiar feeling.

The wild boar, covered in flames, charged directly towards Lin Yaer's side!

“Come on!”

Lin Yaer shouted, and suddenly, a lightning strike fell!

The terrifying power of thunder descended, hitting the wild boar's head squarely!

A burst of electric light instantly erupted, and the wild boar let out a wail and fell to the ground.

A foot stepped onto its head.

“Oh, Lin Yaer, it's me.”

—

— Lin Yaer couldn't believe her eyes!

“Ye Kong!”
