After the three finished arranging everything, they did not delve deeper into the cave but left directly from Lake Bottom.
"It turns out they were just here to hide their tracks. Indeed, since the previous eruption, the frequency of the black vortex appearing has been increasing rapidly. Sooner or later, someone will discover it. However, it's strange that although this place is remote, the surge of Demonic Energy is so intense that it hasn't been noticed yet!" Ye Feng thought to himself as he watched the three leave, feeling quite curious.
What he did not know was that the eruption of Doomsday Abyss was periodic. This frequent eruption happened to coincide with Ye Feng's arrival. Normally, Doomsday Abyss would erupt once a year or even once every few years. Moreover, due to the secluded location of this lake, few people would pay attention to it.
Ye Feng shook his head, suppressing his curiosity and refraining from approaching the cave to investigate further. He estimated that since those three dared not enter recklessly, there must indeed be a powerful presence inside that they could not provoke.
Recalling the roar that came from deep within the cave, Ye Feng smiled wryly and turned to dive in another direction.
Although he could not explore this place for now, Ye Feng would not give up easily. Since it had attracted the attention of the Ethereal Clan, this location should not be simple. After all, with the strength of those three from the Ethereal Clan, becoming disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect should not be difficult. At that time, as fellow disciples, he only needed to keep an eye on them; if they made any rash moves, he could follow closely behind.
With this in mind, Ye Feng did not think too much and continued with his original goal, starting to search for Heavenly Demon Flower.
The number of Heavenly Demon Flowers was indeed scarce. In several places that Ye Feng identified as potential locations for Heavenly Demon Flowers, although there were some strange entities present, there were no significant traces of Heavenly Demon Flowers. However, in a deep valley, Ye Feng managed to pick over ten Heavenly Demon Flowers but nearly fell into an ambush by about ten High-Level Magical Beasts.
Though he escaped thanks to his superior Conceal Breath Technique and Wind Control Technique, Ye Feng still broke into a cold sweat. After all, this was the notorious Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons; even in its outer regions, the danger was self-evident.
Having collected a total of fifteen Heavenly Demon Flowers, Ye Feng decided to submit ten of them. This would be enough to earn him five thousand points and elevate him to a two-star Outer Sect Disciple. As for the remaining five flowers, he decided to keep them for now; if he found himself in urgent need of contribution points later on, he could submit them then. However, he planned to spend some time studying Alchemy after entering Heavenly Mechanism Sect to see if he could refine the Heavenly Demon Flowers into Heavenly Demon Pills to strengthen his physical body.
As the day for the trial's conclusion approached, conflicts within the Trial Ground became increasingly intense. Various teams fought fiercely over points and materials, leading to a sharp increase in eliminated disciples during this period.
The Demon Squad had gained considerable fame in the Trial Ground after successfully repelling several attacks from other teams. Especially with their captain Ye Feng's formidable strength spreading among Trial Disciples—his incredible swordsmanship and astonishing agility instilled fear in many.
This also made Demon Squad the safest team among all Trial Teams because no one knew about Ye Feng's departure; thus no one dared to provoke Demon Squad.
"Boss, are we just going to let Demon Squad go?" In a corner of the forest, members of Demon Hunting Squad gathered together. They had just experienced a tough battle under Feng Jia's leadership and defeated a powerful Trial Team, gaining a substantial amount of points and materials. This victory had boosted their confidence significantly.
However, they still harbored an unshakeable obstacle in their hearts: Ye Feng's Demon Squad.
The feud between Ye Feng and Feng Jia is well-known. Just when everyone expected the Demon Hunting Squad to launch a strong offensive against the Demon Squad, Feng Jia instead lowered his flag and ceased hostilities. Although he led his team to battle and defeated one opponent after another, he never took action against the Demon Squad. This led other Trial Disciples to gossip and even mock him in secret, believing that Feng Jia was intimidated by Ye Feng and dared not provoke the Demon Squad.
"The Demon Squad is not to be feared; my concern is Zhou Jun. It is said that even the captain of the Demon Slaughter Squad, Cheng Ze, is no match for him. In just two moves, he was defeated. This person appears to have only reached the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level, but he may have hidden strength. Moreover, he has seven chances for rescue. Even if we can defeat him now, we cannot prevent him from entering the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!" Pan Li said solemnly.
Although Pan Li is merely Feng Jia's maid, no one in the Demon Hunting Squad dares to underestimate her. She is fierce and decisive, displaying extremely powerful abilities throughout the trial process. In recent days during the resource grabbing battles, if it weren't for the timely intervention of Rescue Disciples, many Trial Disciples would have met a grim fate at her hands.
If someone as fierce as Pan Li fears Ye Feng, then his strength needs no further elaboration. Cheng Ze was also someone Feng Jia had invited numerous times; both his own strength and his family's background were comparable to Feng Jia's. However, in just two moves, Cheng Ze was defeated by Ye Feng. Although Cheng Ze was injured at the time and not at his peak condition, this outcome was still shocking.
"Pan Li is right. Before dealing with Zhou Jun, we should investigate his background thoroughly. Although his information states he is from Linyuan City, I have already sent someone to investigate Linyuan City and its surroundings, and there is no Zhou family there. I suspect Zhou Jun is just an alias or that he comes from somewhere else entirely!" Feng Jia counted his points and found that he only had a little over a thousand points available for exchange, which would not allow him to become a Two-Star Disciple directly. This frustrated him as he began to contemplate his next plan.
Time was running short; gathering five thousand points was more difficult than anticipated. Most of those with large amounts of points belonged to top-tier teams. Feng Jia did not want to engage these teams in battle without certainty of victory because rash actions could provoke other top teams to unite against them.
As the survival trial progressed into its later stages, many teams began to ally with each other to fend off stronger Trial Teams.
Pan Li seemed to sense Feng Jia's thoughts and furrowed her brows as she said, "Recently, many teams attacked the Demon Squad but failed, sending away a large amount of hard-earned materials in the process. It seems that among all Trial Teams, only the Demon Squad has sufficient points materials."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jia's pupils gleamed with intensity. He was torn between whether to take a gamble on attacking the Demon Squad for a chance at a Two-Star Disciple spot and a significant amount of contribution points.
"Captain! Good news! Great news!" Just as Feng Jia was in a dilemma, several figures flashed outside the forest. A boy dressed entirely in black with half of his face covered by a mask flew towards him.
This boy soared through the air like an eagle, exuding an impressive aura as his outstretched arms seemed capable of slicing through the air, creating sonic booms.
The boy clearly used some kind of Martial Technique that consumed Vital Energy, which surprised Feng Jia greatly. The boy must have received some important information to expend such Vital Energy rushing here.
"Heavy Sea, what good news warrants you using the Eagle Strike Technique?" Feng Jia frowned and asked.
"The captain of the Demon Squad, Zhou Jun, has been missing for two days now. The Demon Squad is leaderless and in trouble. Other teams have already received this news and are searching for the location of the Demon Squad everywhere. I just learned from a Rescue Disciple that the Demon Squad has been lingering around a Permanent Base and hasn't moved far away; it seems they are waiting for Zhou Jun's return!"
"What? Zhou Jun is missing? Does even the Rescue Disciples sent by Heavenly Mechanism Sect not know his whereabouts?" Feng Jia's expression changed dramatically. Although those who monitored and protected them were not particularly strong themselves, they had various means at their disposal and were particularly skilled at tracking Trial Disciples' movements. Feng Jia had attempted to shake off their surveillance before but often got caught at the last moment.
"That's right, the Rescue Disciple Lu Yu protecting Zhou Jun has reported this matter to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Currently, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect are also shaken and have dispatched a large number of disciples to search for Zhou Jun. One of my old friends is one of those Rescue Disciples, and he was the one who informed me about Zhou Jun's disappearance," Heavy Sea said excitedly.
"Since other teams are also aware of Zhou Jun's disappearance, there must be quite a few Rescue Disciples related to him. We shouldn't delay; we need to hurry to the location where the Demon Squad was last seen. Without Zhou Jun, the rest of the Demon Squad won't stand a chance. The points materials they have will only make them the fattest sheep in the entire Trial Ground, and all Trial Teams will be searching for their whereabouts!"
Feng Jia was decisive; he understood better than anyone how important contributing points was in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. The Demon Squad, having lost Zhou Jun, was like a flock of fat sheep without their shepherd.
Under Feng Jia's command, the Demon Hunting Squad immediately set off, heading straight for a Permanent Base where the Demon Squad had previously appeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Trial Ground, Ye Feng, who had just finished collecting Heavenly Demon Flowers, felt an ominous premonition and hurriedly sped towards the location of the Demon Squad. However, due to his distant position, it would take him at least half a day to return to them.
"Two days have already passed. I hope other Trial Teams don't find out that I've left the Demon Squad; otherwise, just those points materials in their hands could bring them disaster!"
Except for Bai Jing, most team members wouldn't have a second chance for rescue. Faced with threats from other teams, even if they were reluctant, they might have no choice but to hand over their points materials.
The points materials were one thing; what worried them more was that some Trial Teams might still not let the Demon Squad go even after obtaining those materials and would expel them from the Trial Ground one by one.
After all, during this time, the reputation of the Demon Squad had been too ostentatious, and they had offended too many Trial Teams.
