In the office of the head of the foreign language department, Wang Feng's face was gloomy.

The person in charge happened to be from the Spirit Hall. Although he had never met Wang Feng before, he was familiar with Wang Feng, since outsiders now knew that Wang Feng would be the first successor to the next Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

The man glanced at Wang Feng, then hurriedly opened the door. Standing at the door was a member of the Spirit Hall, not from the Holy Academy.

"Have you found it yet?" the person in charge asked anxiously, his brows furrowed.

"We've found out. After Su Yang left, he went in the direction of Heaven Dou City."

"That's all?"

"Your subordinate is incompetent."

"Keep investigating. I need to know Su Yang's exact location before nightfall today, or you know what the consequences will be!" The person in charge snorted coldly. He knew Su Yang well. Although he wasn't a formal student of the Holy Academy, he was someone Wang Feng had specially kept behind. And most importantly, he was a disciple of Chrysanthemum Douluo. He couldn't afford to offend anyone with that kind of background!

"Yes!"

The man realized the seriousness of the situation and dared not be as careless as before.

"I am with you."

Wang Feng walked outside with a sullen face. He had a feeling that Su Yang's disappearance was probably because someone was after him.

It's also my fault. Taking a year off with Su Yang in mind—anyone with a brain could see that I had a very good relationship with Su Yang.

"Holy Son, please wait inside the courtyard! We will inform you as soon as we have any news. Besides, Elder Yue Guan has already left, so Su Yang should be fine."

The person in charge quickly tried to dissuade him, saying that now only Gui Mei remained in the Holy Academy, Qian Renxue naturally had to protect him as well. If something happened to Wang Feng, his sins would be enormous.

"Of course!" Wang Feng frowned and looked at the person in charge, saying coldly, "Since Su Yang was left behind by me, I naturally have to ensure his safety and prevent anything from happening to him."

"But Your His Highness the Holy Son, your safety is equally important. Ghost Elder needs to stay in the hospital to protect the Holy Maiden and the others. If you go out, we may not be able to protect you properly," the person in charge said, forcing a smile.

Wang Feng was taken aback, and in his haste, he forgot about his own safety.

Since these people are coming for me, they must hope that I will leave the Holy Academy, so that it will be less likely for them to expose their actions against me.

"That's a good idea," Wang Feng sneered, looking at the man and saying, "Arrange a carriage and send several men to accompany you."

"Holy Son, you mustn't!"

"Arrange it immediately," Wang Feng said coldly. Although these people were thinking of themselves, they still needed to take advantage of the situation when necessary.

"Yes."

The person in charge had no choice but to do as Wang Feng asked.

Soon, Wang Feng led more than ten people away from the outer courtyard and boarded a carriage through the side gate. Under the protection of the dozen or so people, the carriage left Holy Virtue City and headed towards Heaven Dou City.

Inside a room in the inner courtyard dormitory building, Gui Mei sat quietly cross-legged.

Suddenly, the door was forced open, and Hu Liena rushed in. She glanced around the room and saw Gui Mei meditating. She immediately stepped forward anxiously and said, "Ghost Elder, my senior brother has suddenly left Holy Virtue City, and Elder Yue is also missing. Do you know what they've been doing?"

"Su Yang has disappeared. The two of them went out to look for him," Gui Mei said without even opening his eyes.

"Oh! Senior brother went too? We have an assessment the day after tomorrow! Will he be able to come?"

"I don't know," Gui Mei said, shaking his head.

"Then send a message to your senior brothers, telling them to remember about the assessment."

"Good."

Hu Liena looked at the Gui Mei with a hint of exasperation. She wondered if the Gui Mei was undergoing a breakthrough, as its condition seemed off. Not wanting to disturb it any longer, she left.

On the official road leading to Heaven Dou City, a carriage sped along, protected by more than ten people.

Inside the carriage, Wang Feng kept his eyes closed. He had been away from Holy Virtue City for two days, but no one had attacked him.

Judging by their travel speed, they're quite a distance from Holy Virtue City. If someone were to attack them, Holy Virtue City wouldn't be able to arrive immediately. This should be a great opportunity!

Several more days passed, and Wang Feng's carriage arrived at Heaven Dou City. However, he did not encounter any danger along the way, which puzzled Wang Feng.

Could it be that he was mistaken, and it wasn't targeting him, but rather Su Yang? But he couldn't think of anything about Su Yang that would make him a target.

"Holy Son, Elder Yue Guan has arrived." The carriage stopped, and the voice of a guard came from outside.

"Knew."

Wang Feng lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. They were already inside Heaven Dou City, Yue Guan also came to the carriage.

"Holy Son." Yue Guan bowed to Wang Feng. Although Wang Feng was Bibi Dong's disciple before, they were still elders of the Elder Hall, and their status was not low. However, now that Wang Feng's status had been expanded, they could no longer treat him as they had before.

Wang Feng nodded, got off the carriage, looked at Yue Guan, and asked, "So, have you found Su Yang's whereabouts?"

"Holy Son, please look at this." Yue Guan did not answer Wang Feng's question, but instead handed him a letter.

Wang Feng frowned as he took the letter. It was addressed to Wang Feng personally. It seemed that he had not guessed wrong; it was indeed addressed to him. However, the way the letter was delivered puzzled Wang Feng.

Judging from the quality of the paper, the other party's status is probably not simple, otherwise they wouldn't need such high-quality paper.

However, he didn't rush to open the envelope to read it. Instead, he looked at Yue Guan and asked, "What's going on?"

"The other party must also be Titled Douluo. He led Su Yang in circles for several days until they reached Heaven Dou City, where he lost Su Yang's aura. He must have been eliminated by them. I found this letter at the last place Su Yang appeared."

"You have Titled Douluo, yet you just kept circling around me instead of attacking me. That's interesting."

Wang Feng chuckled and looked down at the letter in his hand. He couldn't guess the other party's intention. If it wasn't to kill him, what other reason would they have to lure him out of the city in this way?

"Could it be targeting Nana and the others?" Wang Feng suddenly looked up at Yue Guan and asked.

"No, they wouldn't dare to make a move within the Holy Academy. Even the Clear Sky Sect has to consider the Elder Hall. Besides, if the Holy Maiden is in danger, the Great Enshrined will sense it immediately, and the Holy Maiden doesn't rely solely on us for protection."

Yue Guan said this with great certainty, and Wang Feng felt relieved. Indeed, Qian Renxue was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, and as the Great Enshrined of the Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu would secretly send people to protect Qian Renxue even if he didn't take action himself.

"It seems the answer should be in the letter."

Unable to guess, Wang Feng had no choice but to open the letter to find the answer.

However, Wang Feng was somewhat bewildered after reading the contents of the letter.

The letter instructed them to wait at the designated hotel in Heaven Dou City, and that he would soon meet Su Yang upon arrival.

Let's go!

Wang Feng, her face grim, headed towards the hotel mentioned in the letter. She wanted to see who was waiting for her.
