Chapter 3818 The Dragon Ley Line Is Gone
The sight of the magical herbs in the people’s arms made Primo smile. “At least we’re not returning from our trip to Tragora Mountain empty-handed,” Primo commented.
The elders and Empyreans of Void Sect verbally agreed with him. Even though they had failed to obtain the dragon ley line they desperately wanted, the magical herbs they had collected were rare.
Those herbs would be of great help in upgrading the consumer’s power regardless of whether the consumer absorbed the spiritual energy directly or take pills created with the herbs.
Right then, soft sounds of footsteps came from the deeper parts of the forest. “Be careful,” Primo warned in a low voice. The members of Void Sect immediately became on guard, instinctively assuming that members of other sects were coming to rob them of their magical herbs.
A moment later, a team of dozens of people appeared in their line of sight. They were all wearing black robes with an eclipse pattern embroidered on the front. The man leading them was a graying old man.
The eclipse patterns by their chests were all gold in color, but unlike them, the old man’s eclipse had nine colors. “The vice-chancellor of Eclipse Academy, Yunus Lohse.”
Primo recognized the old man right away, and he could barely conceal the shock and confusion he felt. “Mr. Lohse,” Primo quickly greeted with a deep bow.
Yunus drew his brows together. “Do you know me?”
“Mr. Lohse, you’ve once gone to Quilton for recruitment, and I was fortunate enough to have met you there back then.” After that, Primo quickly added, “I’m Primo of Void Sect. I’ve been hoping to join Eclipse Academy, but alas, I never had the opportunity to do so.”
“I see. So you’re Primo of Void Sect.” Yunus nodded. “Are you here in search of the dragon ley line too?”
“Yes!” Primo dared not hide anything from the old man. “But, of course, I wouldn’t dare to compete with the elites of Eclipse Academy now that you’re here.”
The others promptly chimed in to express their agreement with Primo’s words, fearing that the members of Eclipse Academy would see them as their enemies and wipe them out with just a snap of their fingers.
A look of pleasant surprise crossed Yunus’ face, and he queried, “Does that mean you’ve met the people of Eclipse Academy?”
“Indeed. It was yesterday. They’ve found the dragon ley line. Congratulations, Mr. Lohse,” Primo replied.
“Yesterday?” A bad feeling rose in Yunus’ chest. “We lost contact with them yesterday. Quick, bring me to the dragon ley line now.”
“Yes, Sir!” Primo did not dare to reject the old man’s request, and he quickly led the way. “Many members of various sects entered the day before, but they never reemerged. I’m guessing that they’ve been killed by the elites of Eclipse Academy, so why would you lose contact with them?”
Then, Primo informed Yunus of all the information they had gotten from their spies. The more Yunus listened, the stronger the ominous feeling in his heart.
“We lost contact a day ago, and that’s why the academy sent me here to look into the matter,” Yunus told him. The members of Void Sect were stunned by his answer.
Without wasting any more breath on talking, they quickened their pace. Half an hour later, Primo arrived at the dragon ley line with Yunus.
However, when they reached the place, they were greeted by a sight that stupefied them. It was as if the area had turned into hell, for torn-off limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere.
As a matter of fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the blood had formed rivers.
The metallic scent of blood in the air was thick. Although the people had been in battles themselves, they inhaled sharply upon registering the scene.
“I think they’re over there!” Heptino suddenly cried out.
Yunus looked in the direction Heptino pointed and saw the bodies of the Eclipse Academy members.
The black-robed leader who had been smashed into the wall still had his eyes open, the fear and the unwillingness to accept his fate lingering in them.
“Why is the dragon ley line’s power so weak?” Primo muttered as he gulped.
His words shifted the people’s attention to the dragon ley line, and they discovered that, indeed, there was nothing left in the dragon ley line.
