Chapter 976: The Forbidden Area
Shopkeeper Qi felt a buzzing sound in his head!
‘Little girl, why didn’t you take it one step at a time?! Did you really die in there?! If you died, His Excellency would be furious!’
Shopkeeper Qi did not dare to hide the truth and quickly told An Feng about what had happened. Unexpectedly, An Feng replied, “Don’t worry, the Ninth Miss will be fine.”
Shopkeeper Qi felt that An Feng’s brain was most likely damaged. What did he mean by ‘definitely fine’? Their group name had already turned gray and he was still so carefree? No, he had to inform the Palace Mistress immediately.
Shopkeeper Qi quickly reported the matter to the Palace Mistress. He did not expect the Palace Mistress’s reply to be even simpler. It was just two words: “Got it.”
Shopkeeper Qi was confused. Why were they all so calm?!
How would he know that the Palace Mistress was so happy when she heard that Yun Chujiu was dead? Why would she be worried! The Palace Mistress thought to herself, ‘This time it was not her fault. Yun Chujiu was the one who brought trouble upon herself. Beiming could not blame her.’
Di Beiming had also received a message from An Feng. Although he was also very worried, he felt that Yun Chujiu would not be in danger because she had gone through similar incidents. However, he still could not completely relax. He decided to take a flying spirit tool and head to Tianyuan Academy.
At the same time, the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Academy also heard the news. Although they were very surprised, the entrance test was voluntary. If they had not yet entered the institute, they would not be considered as students of the Tianyuan Academy. Even if they died, it had nothing to do with the Tianyuan Academy, therefore, they just sighed and left things as they were.
Yun Chujiu did not know about the commotion outside the Secret Realm. After she brought Geng Yi and Shi Xuan into the forbidden area, she found that this place was no different from the outside. It was just a valley.
However, she found that she could not find the way out. She thought that this place should be an array formation like before. “Senior brother Feng Ming? Senior Brother Feng Ming?”
“Junior Sister Little Jiu! I knew that you would not abandon me!” Feng Ming ran over from afar. When he saw Yun Chujiu and the other two, his heart was moved beyond words.
The four of them started to look for a way out. After half a day, there was no progress at all. As the sky gradually turned dark, the four of them decided to rest for the night first.
The next morning, everyone had their breakfast, Yun Chujiu said, “Let’s take a look inside. Since this place is called a forbidden area, either something is locked up here or there is something good hidden here. Let’s take a look first. Maybe we can find something to help us escape.”
Feng Ming and the other two were used to listening to Yun Chujiu’s plans, so they followed Yun Chujiu inside without any objections.
After walking for more than half a day, they had not found anything unusual. Moreover, the four of them had some unexpected gains. Because no one had entered this place for many years, the Violet Brocade Grass was everywhere. The four of them did not even bother to pick more in the end, the Violet Brocade Grass that they had found now was enough to propel them up the ranks.
Yun Chujiu discovered a problem. “Senior Brothers, have you noticed? There isn’t a single demon beast here. There are only some spirit bees and spirit butterflies. It’s really strange.”
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, do you think there is a monster locked here? Maybe those demonic beasts been eaten by it?” Feng Ming looked around vigilantly, his voice slightly trembling.
“Whether it’s a monster or something else, we only have a chance to get out if we find it. I reckon that once that thing dies, this formation will automatically break. Other than that, I’m afraid we have no other way to get out.” Yun Chujiu sighed and said.
