Sword Emperor

3Out of caution, Sun Bing didn't go all out this time. He maintained his peak condition almost every second, and at the same time, carefully checked his surroundings to avoid any danger.    0

    

But even so, Sun Bing's speed had already far exceeded that of an ordinary cultivator. He was like a blade of light, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.    

    

Time passed in a flash. It took seven days for him to arrive at the Inheritance Academy from the Kunlun. During this period of time, Sun Bing discovered that there were no enemies on the ground, but strangely, there were no humans either.    

    

It was as if the land had become completely desolate. Whether it was Ancient Clans or the Humans, none of them had come to this place. It was as if there was some kind of disaster, causing people to avoid it.    

    

Looking at the area within a few thousand miles, it seemed like there were no other living beings in this area other than some spiritual roots. There wasn't even a single spiritual beast or Demonic Beast. Such a strange situation made Sun Bing even more vigilant.    

    

Finally, after tearing apart the space once more and crossing the boundless Ju Lili, the Inheritance Academy was within reach. Looking into the distance, one could see some familiar buildings.    

    

"Hmm? The town that was once at the outer perimeter of the Inheritance Academy has disappeared?" All of a sudden, a trace of surprise appeared in Sun Bing's eyes. At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.    

    

After all, everyone had a pretty good memory ever since they started cultivating. Even a cultivator who had just started cultivating could remember almost anything after experiencing it once or looking at it once. There was no doubt about it, let alone Sun Bing who had already reached such a level.    

    

However, what frightened them the most was that Sun Bing clearly remembered that outside of the Inheritance Academy... It should be a huge city that was scattered all over the place. One after another, cultivators dreamt of entering the Inheritance Academy.    

    

However, at this moment, not to mention those figures, even the buildings in the city had disappeared without a trace.    

    

This was definitely a very unusual thing. One should know that the ancestors of Ancient Clans had invaded the city. There were many places in the Shen State that were relatively dangerous, but there were also many safe places, such as the surroundings of the Dao Gate and the Buddhist Sect, and also the surroundings of the Inheritance Academy.    

    

However, there was no one in this place that was determined to be absolutely safe. The ancestors could clearly tell that there was a change in the academy.    

    

Instantly, Sun Bing couldn't help but take a deep breath. At the same time, he landed on the ground from the sky. His vigilance had been raised to the maximum. The spiritual strength was spreading in all directions, carefully searching for changes in the surroundings.    

    

However, what made Sun Bing puzzled was that he didn't find any clues at all. Not to mention the aura of battle, there wasn't even a heaven and earth inscription in this place. He couldn't find any flaws.    

    

Throughout the entire process, Sun Bing walked towards the Inheritance Academy with his feet firmly planted on the ground. Besides the somewhat terrifying silence, there wasn't any danger at all. This kind of situation really filled one's heart with doubt.    

    

Finally, after confirming his safety, Sun Bing could only slowly focus his gaze on the door of the Inheritance Academy. Although a long period of time had passed, nothing had changed in this place. However, Sun Bing's mentality and strength were completely different now that he had returned to this place.    

    

Looking at the countless legendary Heaven-climbing ladder that had been left behind since ancient times, Sun Bing's eyes were long. At this moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said. "Since there are no clues in the outside world, only by entering the Inheritance Academy will we be able to find out what exactly happened."    

    

While Sun Bing was looking at the Heaven-climbing ladder and was deep in thought, the Inheritance Academy was not calm at all. Currently, it was brewing waves of level 1, and it was surging continuously.    

    

As the academy with the longest inheritance of the Humans, the entire academy was a huge world, and it was even more powerful than the Xuanwu nest Cave that Sun Bing had experienced before.    

    

However, the peaceful atmosphere in the academy was now completely different from what Sun Bing had seen in the past. It was as if all the diligent disciples had disappeared. It was hard to see any cultivators in the huge academy.    

    

Profound ripples surged out from the depths of the Inheritance Academy. Then, one could shockingly find an old man with a kind face standing in front of a building. This man was none other than the Principal of the Inheritance Academy in Sun Bing's eyes.    

    

Behind this Dean was a group of cultivators. Many of them were the teachers of the academy. Initially, Sun Bing couldn't see their cultivation base clearly, but at this moment, he could clearly see that every one of them had reached the level of the Half Saint.    

    

At a glance, it could be said that it was densely packed. At least, at least... More than a hundred people had formed a mysterious formation that completely sealed the place in front of them.    

    

Meanwhile, inside the formation that was encapsulated by these people... There was also an old figure within the formation. There was no need to observe carefully, as one could easily tell that this person also had the appearance of a dean. It could be said that two deans had appeared in an instant.    

    

However, the deans who were outside the formation... They had ferocious smiles on their faces. At this moment, they could not help but say, "You have persisted for such a long time. Even I have to admire you, but I think you have reached the end of your life. This Hundred Saints Soul-Devouring Array of mine took me a hundred thousand years to create. "    

    

"Ghastly Shadow, I didn't expect you to be so sinister. However, no matter what you say, I will never surrender." The dean, who was in the middle of the formation, gritted his teeth and said.    

    

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the dean's aura had weakened significantly. His face was pale, and just as the Ghastly Shadow had said, he had reached the end of his life.    

    

"Hahahaha, it seems like you haven't realized the situation yet." Instantly, the ghostly figure could not help but laugh loudly. Its body had also undergone a transformation, turning into a person shrouded in shadows. It had no face at all.    

    

If Sun Bing was here, he would be able to tell that this was a very sinister and terrifying race among Ancient Clans. It was called Ghost Face Clan, and was ranked tenth in Ancient Clans's race.    

    

The innate ability of the Ghost Face Clan was called the 'Myriad Changes'. It could transform into any person, cultivator, Demonic Beast, etc. There was no distinction between the different races. Instead, it was the target of their transformation. Whether it was their cultivation base, qi, or divine abilities, they were all real.    

    

During the battle in Age of Teras, it was precisely because of such a terrifying innate ability that the Ghost Face Clan hid among the crowd. The explosion had caused countless injuries, causing the Humans to feel extremely fearful.    

    

However, such an unpredictable divine ability also had a lot of shackles. In order to transform someone else, a medium was needed. It was a personal item of the opponent, or blood hair. It could do anything, which was very difficult.    

    

After all, as long as it was an expert... This meant that they had taken a liking to all of this. Even in a battle, it was impossible for others to succeed so easily.    

    

However, he had never thought that not only did this demon-faced foreign race successfully transform into the Dean, they even came to the Inheritance Academy, forcing the true Dean to such an extent.    

    

After a burst of wild laughter, gui Ying continued, "Once this Hundred Saint Soul Devouring Grand Formation is activated, it will isolate the space and gradually absorb the life force of the person inside. You are truly powerful, to be able to persist for such a long time.    

    

But now, it has come to an end. To tell you the truth, not only you, but the other elders are also trapped. Otherwise, after so many years, it is impossible for them not to come and save you.    

    

As for the disciples in the academy, most of them have already been dismissed by me. Even the ones who stayed behind are my people. I forgot to tell you that the entire Shen State has been cut off, and your deepest foundation can't be awakened. Do you think you still have a chance to live?    

    

I might as well surrender as soon as possible. If you can tell me everything you know, your status will never change. In fact, you might even be comparable to a Holy King. This is the best treatment I can give you. "
