#1213 - Chapter 1213 Misty Forest

"They ran into the Misty Forest!" someone shouted.

Several figures gradually disappeared, heading deeper into the forest.

The pursuers exchanged glances, none daring to take another step forward.

"Forget it, they'll be trapped in the Misty Forest, they'll die of thirst and hunger. Let's quickly report to Elder Bai!" the leader ordered.

The pursuers returned the way they came.

The further they went, the darker it became, with thick fog rising, making it impossible to distinguish the path. Zhang Tie gripped the compass tightly, watching the red dot flashing ahead, leading the group, each step sinking deep or shallow.

"Wait, this is the Misty Forest!" Su Ming shouted, seeing the bamboo trees piercing the clouds around him.

"There's a Misty Forest on the back of Back Chong Mountain, spanning hundreds of miles. It's filled with insects, snakes, rats, and ants, deep pits and traps, and unpredictable weather. Once you enter, you'll only end up as a mangled corpse." Su Ming was filled with regret, "We were running for our lives and didn't even think we'd run into the Misty Forest."

"It's okay, we have a compass, we'll get out of the Misty Forest," Zhang Tie said.

"It's useless." Su Ming held his head in his hands, "No one has ever come out of the Misty Forest."

"We'll be trapped here to die."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Now, the entire Back Chong Mountain was covered by a huge, powerful barrier, making it impossible to use spiritual power. And Ye Kong's fate was unknown, waiting to be reunited. Who would have thought that they would take a wrong step and actually enter a man-eating forest.

Everyone was trapped, seemingly only able to wait for death.

Was this the end for all of them?

At this time, in the Supreme Beginning Academy, the Elder Ranking Competition was in full swing.

It was also considered a celebration of the new look of the Supreme Beginning Academy. This Elder Ranking Competition was extremely grand, unparalleled in its prominence, and even several surrounding sects participated to offer their congratulations.

However, although the disciples on the stage were excellent, they seemed to be lacking something.

It was said that this year, the Supreme Beginning Academy had a disciple with extraordinary talent, who had also won the top spot in the sect ranking competition, shining brightly. Now it seemed like that wasn't the case.

"Are you talking about Ye Kong? He didn't participate in the Elder Ranking Competition," a disciple of the Supreme Beginning Academy replied.

"Really? With Ye Kong's ability, this position would be his for sure. Compared to him, the disciples on stage are a little lacking, right?" People from other sects were filled with regret.

"Not entirely. The disciple Long Hui on stage is very capable," Sima Shizun walked over and mentioned.

Currently, the number of elders challenged by Long Hui was ten.

"Elder Shui and Elder Huo have gone to the disaster relief, and will not be back until tomorrow. Today's competition ends here."

The competition ended and the audience left in an orderly manner.

Everyone was complaining that the Elder Ranking Competition was uninteresting.

Sima Shizun sat in the judging seat, "Has Ye Kong not returned yet?"

"Not yet. However, according to news from the Bai Clan, the ferocious beasts have been completely killed," a disciple reported.

"Then he should be back," Sima Shizun stood up, "It seems I have to prepare."

"Wait, Ye Kong seems to have encountered some trouble," the disciple reported truthfully, "Ye Kong and the others went to Back Chong Mountain and lost contact. There is a powerful barrier surrounding Back Chong Mountain, and we cannot enter. Moreover, a large number of disciples from the Bai Clan and Evergreen Academy were also found on the mountain."

"How did the Evergreen Academy get together with the Bai Clan?" Sima Shizun thought for a moment, "Damn it, quickly call Elder Wang."

Elder Wang hadn't seen Sima Shizun for many days. As soon as Elder Wang opened his mouth, he said, "Ye Kong has already been entrusted to you, why are you still bothering me?"

"Ye Kong and the others may be in trouble, please be sure to come to their rescue," Sima Shizun said sincerely.

"What did you say?" Elder Wang was furious, "What did you send Ye Kong to do again?"

"The Bai Clan of Yunbian Town asked for help..." Sima Shizun was interrupted before he could finish.

"Are you talking about Bai Rong?" Elder Wang's eyes widened, "Don't you know what kind of person he is? It's possible that this whole thing was planned by him."

"If there is anything that requires Master's help, I hope Master will lend a hand. But as for other matters, please let me be the one to decide."

"Ye Kong has no news at this time, and it is unknown how things are progressing. Acting rashly may be detrimental to Ye Kong," Elder Wang's tone softened a bit, "My suggestion is to wait.

Believe that with Ye Kong's ability, he will definitely be able to handle everything. Let's not cause trouble here."

After saying that, Elder Wang left, leaving Sima Shizun alone in the wind, disheveled.

Wait, does he mean he's not going to care? What a cruel heart!

"Pay close attention to the movements of the Bai Clan, and report any problems in a timely manner."

Ye Kong woke up again, the white fog in front of him had not disappeared, but had become even more painful.

Suddenly, the pain went to his head, and Ye Kong cried out in pain.

Behind him, Third Elder Bai walked over, "You can't even endure this little pain, you don't seem like the all-powerful Ye Kong who can go to heaven and earth, huh?"

Ye Kong endured the pain, grinned, "That's right, after being a copper wall and iron wall for so long, I can't stand small injuries and pains anymore."

"You are a bit interesting. Your actions are completely unlike someone your age. If you were a few years older, the entire Upper Realm might be overturned by you," Third Elder Bai looked at the person in front of him, covered in white bandages, clearly seriously injured, but still joking with him. A bit of chills came out.

"You flatter me, I don't even know if I can leave Yunbian Town," Ye Kong sneered, "Speaking of which, is there any news about my companions?"

"I heard that they went into the Misty Forest, they probably won't be able to come out," Third Elder Bai said with some regret. "But we only agreed on you alone at the time, we can't help the others."

"Misty Forest? Can't you get out even with a compass?" Ye Kong asked curiously.

"Of course, the Misty Forest devours all time. In less than three hours, the compass will be corroded and lose its direction. And the people inside will not be spared."

The Misty Forest is a huge tomb, leaving the last decent thing for those who leave the world.

"Moreover, no one has ever been able to get out of the Misty Forest, not even gods," Third Elder Bai looked at Ye Kong, shook his head, "You can't go back on what you promised me."

"That's natural," Ye Kong stood up, "Third Elder Bai, I need you to help me with one last favor.

Send me into the Misty Forest."

"Are you crazy?" Third Elder Bai looked at Ye Kong, "Absolutely not, I haven't reaped my victory yet, I can't send you to your death."

"Don't worry, after I go in, at the latest three days later, your victory will naturally be handed over to you."

Ye Kong looked at the Misty Forest through the bandages.

Bring them out.

"This is my responsibility, and it is also within my ability."
