When Fei Ling walked out of the pine forest, the Dragon Tiger children went crazy and pounced on him.

"Brother Feiling, what just happened? Weishenme has such a powerful aura? We are all worried about death!"

"Damn!" Zilong stomped his feet angrily, "We're so useless!

"It's okay, it's okay!" Fei Ling's face was calm, "That Northern Immortal Monk is dead! What's going on, you can just let me go in and see!"

With that, he led the people into the forest again. How to explain all this, Fei Ling had already thought about it before he came out. His heart trembled slightly, and a thought lingered in his mind.

"If the child just now was really Jiajun, would I still do it?"

......

It took dozens of days for the circle to clean up, first waves of Imperial Monk law enforcement teams came to investigate, and then teachers from different monk academies came to claim the body. All the towns in the entire Northern Stygian Mountains were blocked, and the Dongchen Empire became unprecedentedly tense, during which the Dongchen Emperor also made a special trip to the scene to inspect in person.

This tragedy has since been recorded in the history of the empire, and has become one of the most tragic tragedies since the founding of the Dongchen Empire.

According to Fei Ling, after this Northern Hell monk tricked them into the forest, he discovered the conspiracy first, and under the fight, he was fortunate enough to temporarily break through to the peak of the Gathering Spirits. The Northern Monk was defeated and forcibly rushed into the circle to improve his cultivation, but he was counterattacked by the circle and exploded to death.

After all, he was only a teenager, and the group of monks didn't have much doubt about this story except for marveling at his cultivation in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Later, the law enforcement team collected a series of evidence in the ancient castle of the Northern Hell Monks, confirming that from the beginning of the Northern Pluto Cult to the disappearance of the nine monk teams, it was all the work of the North Hades Dwellers.

The Empire gave the Dragons and Tigers a great deal of recognition, allowing them to choose three of the ten low-level Treasures as a reward. But this didn't make Zilong and them lift their spirits at all.

The days after the tragic scene of that night were vividly remembered, and for the first time in their lives, the children of the Dragon and Tiger were so stimulated. Although the path of the monks was extremely bumpy, and they would die if they were not careful, they were only teenagers after all! The cultivation in the previous years was carried out in the academy, and the only pressure came from the academy's internal ranking tournament and some tasks to hunt spirit beasts. Seeing such a tragic scene, several children could not eat for several days.

"They're all as old as us!" The topic of discussion in the team remained unchanged for several days.

"The life of a monk is to take his life against the heavens and pursue eternal life! To ask for eternal life, he naturally has to face many difficulties that mortals cannot imagine, if these cannot be faced, how can he break through his mental nature in the future? If he only wants to live a stable and ordinary life, then why do he still embark on the path of a monk?" Fei Ling is the most peaceful.

"Brother Fei Ling, after you saw such a tragedy, can you not be afraid?" Xiao Min looked at Fei Ling with trembling shoulders.

"When I was fighting with the Northern Hell Monks, I already had this realization!" Fei Ling said lightly, "If I can't win, then I'm the one who will die! These more than 80 students lost, so they died; I won, so we survived! To live, we just need to win! All the pain, sadness, and fear are useless! As long as we win!"

"Brother Feiling!" Zilong's eyes were also red, "We are too weak, we can only be a burden to you! You are now at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and we are just building spirits, what are we going to do?"

"If we still practice like we did in the academy before, it will take us at least five years before we can impact the Gathering Spirits, right?" Yu Yue's voice was also hoarse. "And I'm even more, although I have discovered the advantages of dual main attributes, but the improvement is slower! I'm afraid it won't work for ten years!"

The group of team members all sighed in a low voice, and Fei Ling felt their powerlessness, but there was nothing they could do.

After everyone returned to Xingyu Academy, they couldn't afford it for several days. Looking at their appearance, Fei Ling can only go with the flow, after all, the growth of personal spirit can only rely on himself, if he can survive, maybe the future will be smooth sailing. If not, I'm afraid that the path of cultivation will end here.

......

A few days later, Fei Ling, who was cultivating in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, suddenly received a summons from Elder Xu.

Slowly stepping into the dean's room, Fei Ling saw Elder Xu slowly sipping tea.

"Fei Ling, come and sit down," he picked up the tea in his hand and poured another cup, "I just came back from the imperial capital and brought some new tea from this year, you can try it." ”

Why did Elder Xu call him, Fei Ling already knew it in his heart, and he didn't break it. "Elder Xiexie Xu!" he picked up the cup and took a sip, "I don't know how to taste tea, so I can't make a difference!"

"Hehe!" Elder Xu looked at him deeply, "Feiling, how old is this year?"

"It's almost 16. ”

"16 years old, 16-year-old Spirit Gathering Realm peak!" Elder Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly the topic changed, "Do you still hate the empire?"

"Hate what?" Fei Ling didn't look at him, and continued to sip the tea, frowning slightly.

"The Hate Empire forced away your younger brother Jiajun, and his whereabouts are still unknown," Elder Xu said slowly, "Jiaming is only afraid that he will leave the academy because of this, right?"

Fei Ling was silent for a long time, and then said lightly, "Jiajun go, it's his own choice, Elder Xu did his best, and we all saw it." He paused slightly, "Jiaming is leaving, it's just that he wants to change his mood and go out for a trip!"

"So you don't hate the Dongchen Empire anymore?" Elder Xu's gaze fixed on Fei Ling's face.

"Nope. ”

"Okay!" Elder Xu clapped his legs, "You are so good, are you willing to join the Elder Group?"

"What?" Fei Ling was stunned, although he had long known that his cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm would inevitably attract the attention of the entire empire, but he didn't expect Elder Xu to want to directly pull him into the elder group?

"I still want to participate in the Continental Confrontation in more than a year to fight for the Demon Realm Trial Place. "He actually doesn't mind entering the upper echelons of the empire, with this status, many things are easy to do, but he can't delay his big things because of this.

"It's okay!" Elder Xu's face was happy, he was originally worried that Fei Ling would resent the empire because of his brother's affairs, "Your entry into the elder group is just a backup, we will keep it secret for the time being, and it will not affect your trial." It is not so easy to officially enter the elder group, in addition to cultivating to meet the standard, you also need a series of task trials, which can be done slowly. He paused and continued, "You can still participate in the Imperial Tryouts, and these will be kept secret for you for the time being. ”

"I have a question," Fei Ling thought for a moment, "does the Elder Order have the right to cancel the Empire's hunt warrant?"

"It's Jiajun's business, right? Are you thinking that I didn't fight for it, and let the elder group cancel the previous pursuit warrant?" Elder Xu was not stupid, and immediately understood Fei Ling's thoughts.

"That's right, the reason why Jiajun left, the elder should know very well," Fei Ling paused, "He is not guilty, and he shouldn't have been let suffer so much!"

"I can only promise, if Jiajun returns, his cultivation can reach the same level as you, no problem!"

"That's exactly what I want!" Fei Ling nodded, "I'm sure he doesn't need me to help fight for anything, but keep it up front to avoid any conflicts!"

"Then it's decided!" Elder Xu slapped the table, "Tomorrow, you will go to the imperial capital with me, meet the emperor, and meet a few other elders by the way!"
