"Damn it, he got away again!"
"How many of that brat's scrolls does he have?"
"Who knows? No one knows where he got the scrolls, and no one knows how many he has."
"What if they can't find him? The powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Kingdom have already started fighting with some people."
"They can't be allowed to come here, or Zhou Yan won't be able to kill him."
"But the Divine Dragon Kingdom has many powerhouses this time. Many demigods have appeared, and they are simply unstoppable."
"Then find Zhou Yan quickly and kill him completely."
"Something's wrong, that brat seems to be heading towards the deep sea."
"That's great! Send a message to everyone to force him into the deep sea. Don't let him escape!"
...
Zhou Yan didn't intentionally move towards the deep sea. It was the scroll in his hand that took him there.
"Damn it, is this what they call digging my own grave!" Zhou Yan looked helplessly at his situation, trapped with no way out. In front of him lay the terrifying crisis of the deep sea, and behind him were countless powerhouses in pursuit.
"Never mind, I'll go in and hide for now." Zhou Yan had no choice but to enter the deep sea. However, he was also very cautious, doing his best to avoid the energy bursts that suddenly appeared.
This energy was terrifying, capable of killing any powerhouses below the ninety-ninth heaven.
"How did this place appear? It's truly strange. It's filled with all sorts of energy: violent storms, bizarre spatial rifts, erupting volcanoes, a dark world, and golden peaks that are full of killing intent..."
Here, one indeed needed to be careful. A moment's carelessness could easily lead to injury. Zhou Yan moved slowly, venturing deeper inside.
He felt that this was a terrifying formation, but who had the ability to set up such a formation?
Demigod powerhouses definitely did not have this strength, as the power here far surpassed that of demigods.
Zhou Yan had once heard some news about the deep sea from a supplementary textbook. It was said that countless years ago, the world underwent a great change, but the specifics of the change were unknown to Zhou Yan.
All he knew was that the deep sea underwent a massive transformation, and it was from that time that humans awakened the Lord's Heart, which allowed them to travel to the Lord's World.
Many people had speculated about the cause of this great change, but all attempts ended in failure. No one knew the reason for the Lord's Heart, nor what enabled them to travel to another world.
Moreover, the open sea was peculiar. With the deep sea as its core, the entire sea could not establish any contact with the territory. Even the land areas near the deep sea could not establish contact with the territory.
Only in those countries and regions could contact be made with the territory, and one could freely travel to the Lord's Continent.
It was as if this area was a forbidden zone for the Lord's Heart, as if it were isolated by some mysterious power.
In addition to being unable to contact the Lord's Heart, even setting up formations was impossible, as if any formation laid down would be destroyed by some powerful energy.
If not for Zhou Yan's Tai Chi Array Diagram being extremely powerful and mysterious, it would have been impossible to trap others.
Zhou Yan believed that all of this must be related to the core of the deep sea. And he was not the only one who thought so; everyone did. But no one knew the secrets within.
Countless demigod powerhouses had wanted to unravel the mystery of the deep sea, but since they entered, they had never come out again.
This place was known as the forbidden land of the God of Death. Once you entered, there was no coming out. And indeed, it was true; once inside, it was extremely difficult to get out again.
This place was filled with terrifying energy everywhere, and with a slight lapse in attention, one could be annihilated by various energies.
Outside the deep sea, tens of thousands of powerhouses had already stopped. They were from various countries, and none dared to approach the core of the deep sea.
"Are you sure Zhou Yan has entered?" An Yui asked.
"My divine artifact has already shown his last known location to be here. He's definitely inside. It cannot detect anything further in."
"My sea beasts also detected him moving inwards."
"What do we do now? None of us knows if he's alive or dead inside."
"Should we send someone in to check?"
"I agree. I suggest you go in and check."
"We should suggest a demigod powerhouse go in and check."
...
Everyone was in an uproar. None of them wanted to go in. Who would want to walk into a place of no return to court death?
Finally, the people of the Ancient Dynasty decided to dispatch two of their demigod powerhouses.
The Dark Dynasty also decided to send one demigod. As for the others, they also sent out three demigod powerhouses. These three demigods were all very old; even if they lived, they only had a few decades left. Otherwise, they would never have agreed to enter.
Six demigod powerhouses entered the core of the deep sea, this place known as the forbidden land of the God of Death.
The others did not leave. They were all involved in this operation to hunt down Zhou Yan. If Zhou Yan did not die and grew up, they would be in danger.
They were all waiting for a result, for news.
But no news could be transmitted from the core of the deep sea. All items lost their effect. No one could see what was happening inside, and they could only wait.
...
In the high echelons of Ziwei Academy, a person walked into the conference room and said, "We've received the latest news. Zhou Yan has entered the core of the deep sea."
"What! The core of the deep sea, the forbidden land of the God of Death! How did he get in there?"
"He must have been forced in. There are too many enemies targeting Zhou Yan this time. Tens of thousands of powerhouses are all focused on dealing with him alone. What else could he do?"
"This was our oversight. We didn't even send out a demigod powerhouse to protect him."
"We also didn't expect those people to mobilize so many powerhouses. Just the demigod powerhouses alone number no less than a hundred. They've certainly gone to great lengths!"
"I wonder how Zhou Yan is doing."
"Don't worry. The Divine Dragon Kingdom has already dispatched many powerhouses. Combined with the forces from various factions, the total number of powerhouses is definitely not to be underestimated. We can only wait for news."
The principal, Wu Qingfeng, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Send more people."
"Who should we send then?" an elder inquired.
"I want to go," Feng Yu said.
"You... this..." The elders did not speak and all looked at Wu Qingfeng.
"Are you sure?" Wu Qingfeng looked at Feng Yu.
"Leave this to me this time. Zhou Yan is, after all, one of our Ziwei Academy's people. It's my duty to go." Feng Yu said.
"Alright, Wang Yixian has also come out of seclusion. Along with Feng Jiutian, take Qilin out for a trip." Wu Qingfeng said.
"Ah, Senior Qilin is also going!" Feng Yu was greatly shocked.
"It hasn't gone out for a trip in a long time. If it doesn't go out, others will think Ziwei Academy has no one left." Wu Qingfeng said.
"Okay!"
Feng Yu nodded. Sending out so many demigod powerhouses this time would surely deter those petty troublemakers.
Coupled with the five demigods previously dispatched by Ziwei Academy, Ziwei Academy had sent out a total of eight demigods, and this was still not the full extent of Ziwei Academy's power.
Ziwei Academy was unfathomably deep. At this moment, it seemed as if they were witnessing just the tip of the iceberg.
