While everyone was at a loss, Ye Feng gave them hope.
"What do you mean not necessarily? Ye Feng, don't talk nonsense."
"Yeah, even Master Ancient and Master Wang didn't say anything. Ye Feng, do you really think you're so awesome?" Old man Suo chuckled, thinking that he had flattered the two teachers.
A cold smile appeared on Ye Feng's face as he looked deeply at Old Suo.
"I was just interrupting, but Old Suo, I'm afraid you're interfering. Otherwise, what did you have to do with the seven masters activating the Seven Stars Earth Formation? Because of your mistake just now, you let your opponent go, leaving behind countless troubles for the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Was it because I thought I was awesome, or do you think you're awesome?"
Actually, Old Man Suo treated Ye Feng fairly well in the beginning, mainly because when Ye Feng was still weak, he thought that Ye Feng would not pose any threat to him. However, with Ye Feng's continuous growth and the Demon Fox's animosity towards him, the relationship between Ye Feng and him became worse and worse.
"You …" The anger in Old Suo's heart was like a fireball rolling around in his chest.
"Enough."
Wang Rui frowned as he glanced back and forth between Ye Feng and Old Suo.
Only then did the two of them stop their argument and adjust their moods. They then returned to their silent state.
"Ye Feng, hurry up and tell me. What method do you have to save the other students?"
Gu Yuan Wu swallowed his saliva and looked at Ye Wen.
"Yeah, Ye Feng, if there's anything you need help with, feel free to tell me."
After all, the Zhao Family had asked him to take care of Zhao Shucheng's life. But now, even he himself had barely escaped from the trouble caused by Ye Feng, not to mention Zhao Shucheng.
"Alright, if you want me to say it, that is fine. However, I hope that after this is done, the reward for the competition for the Successor Disciple will be sufficient to meet some of my willful requirements."
Everyone looked at each other and gave a knowing smile. They looked at Master Wang Rui and revealed a playful smile.
"So that's how it is..."
From their point of view, Ye Feng would definitely wish for them to have the priority of choosing a Successor Disciple. Amongst so many Masters, Wang Rui was clearly the most senior one, and if Ye Feng did not choose him, then who else could he choose?
"Alright, I agree. As long as your request is reasonable, there shouldn't be any problems."
Wang Rui solemnly nodded his head and continued, "Now, Ye Feng, you can say what you want to do to save her."
Ye Feng faintly smiled and said while staring at Wang Rui.
"If you want to save someone, then take three steps. The first step is to calculate the time. There are still two hundred and twenty-seven times left before the Gate of Heaven completely disappears."
"What, two hundred and twenty-seven? You've already counted them in your mind," Old Suo was slightly taken aback.
Ye Feng's expression was calm. After all, he could save as much as he wanted. Who would have really died in there? He wasn't familiar with that person, so he wasn't too sad.
"Now it's two hundred and twenty-three, don't interrupt me. Well, the breakthrough point is that when the mysterious space esper entered the Heaven Gate, a small hole had already been opened on the thick and heavy jade slab. Now, you can definitely let us in by expanding this small hole."
"Alright, let me try."
Now that Gu Yuan Wu had been reminded by Ye Feng, he trembled slightly in his heart, and put Zhao Shucheng's safety into his heart.
A burning flame with unparalleled power pierced into the small hole on the jade board, corroding the edge of the hole.
After a long time, the fire exploded under Gu Yuan Wu's control.
However, because the Heaven Gate's jade board was not ordinary …
Although a portion of the hole had been blown open, it could barely fit a hand inside.
"This …"
If it was done slowly, Gu Yuan Wu would have succeeded, but now that time was running out, he didn't have the time to wait.
"Bing Qian, use the fire martial spirit to help him."
A surprised look flashed across Liu Bingqian's eyes. "I'll go help Master. Is that appropriate?"
Master usually cared a lot about face, so why would he let a junior help him?
"Whatever, my sister is still inside. If you've offended her, then you've offended her."
As soon as she said that, Liu Bingqian activated all the power of her Fire Martial Spirit. The Spiritual Flames that covered the sky were like fire dragons. With her as the center, they shot out towards the flagstones in front of them.
At the same time, Ye Feng's eyes flashed.
"Go!"
From his hand, a blood-red flame flew out and struck towards Gu Yuan Wu's ball of fire.
Suddenly, Liu Bing Qian, Ye Feng, and Gu Yuan Wu's three flames gathered in one place. The whirlpool like heat current raised the temperature of the black flames to another level.
Soon after, the sound of rocks shattering could be heard in the air. A seat the size of a man had been burnt to nothingness by the black flames.
The seven teachers looked at each other in unison. Under Wang Rui's lead, they entered the space of the mountain.
"This …"
Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air at the same time when they saw this black vortex that filled the sky.
They could not imagine how such a terrifying spatial collapse could happen in this Soul Death Town, which was at most a mid-level Martial Disciple difficulty area.
Ye Feng scanned the surroundings and did not find any trace of the Life and Death Eye. He let out a long sigh of relief and squinted his eyes.
Actually, before entering, he wanted to sell off his suspense and delay a bit. He wanted to wait for this Life and Death Eye to return to his continent and completely divert the time away from him.
After all, he never would have thought that Ye Zifeng and the others would chase after him after hearing what he had said.
"Second step, right now there are one hundred and ninety-three of them. The Gate of Heaven is about to close, so, seven teachers, I estimate that there are still about seven people left. Each of them will bring one.
Ye Feng's voice was extremely calm. With his status as a student, it was unimaginable for anyone to point fingers at a bunch of teachers.
However, the teachers were in a hurry to find the surviving students, and it was their first time coming to this stronghold, so they didn't know much about this stronghold.
Thus, they could only helplessly listen to Ye Feng's words. Even Qin Juexin, who had always disliked Ye Feng, could not express any opinions. After all, she was going to find her disciple, Xie Chen.
Finally, after Ye Wen's meticulous arrangements, he slightly raised his head. His vision was extremely deep.
"Right now, we still have a hundred and fifty people left. If everyone is clear about their search area, then, let's start our rescue now."
… ….
In the sky, the whirlpool would occasionally spin and produce black gales, causing one's face to hurt.
Now that all the teachers had the experience of suffering a loss before, they hid their soul consciousnesses completely. They only needed to use the rainbow clouds to move.
Thus, they began to search this place, where the Soul Death Town and the ten thousand foot mountain were, for any signs of their students.
… ….
"One hundred twenty-three, one hundred twenty-two …"
"Find a kid, Xu Mubai." Ren Xingtian laughed out loud as he stepped into the sky, holding Xu Mubai's collar with one hand.
"Go to me," he said with a smile, throwing him near the Heaven Gate.
"Ye …" Ye Feng, you … "Why are you here?" Xu Mubai's voice trembled slightly.
It was obvious from Xu Mubai's expression that he still felt some lingering fear from what had happened in this town. His entire body was trembling, and he was at a loss of what to do.
Ye Wen laughed lightly and nodded, "Master Ren, in the seventies, go and find other places with the existence of students. In short, don't use it for too long. If not, you might not even be able to come back by yourself."
"Alright."
… ….
Ye Feng was still standing in front of the Gate of Heaven. The grave expression between his brows was getting more and more obvious.
Out of the seven great masters, each one of them had spared no effort in finding the other.
However, in such a short period of time, it was still a bit difficult …
"Xie Chen, find …"
"I found it."
… ….
Ye Feng watched as the servants limped into the Gate of Heaven.
He could feel some of the weird looks in their eyes. At the very least, they didn't have the enmity towards Ye Feng from the start.
Gu Yuan Wu cursed as he searched for a long time. His voice echoed in the thousands of feet high mountain.
"Motherf * cker, where the hell did that idiot Zhao Shucheng go to? If I can't find him, how am I supposed to explain this to the Zhao Family? Whoever accepts him as a Successor Disciple will have eight lifetimes of bad luck."
As of now, Gu Yuan Wu's mental state was on the verge of collapse. Before, he had caused so much trouble for Zhao Shu, even causing his soul consciousness to be damaged. His cultivation had regressed because of this.
"Master Ancient Grand Master, actually, I am right behind you..." Zhao Shucheng's familiar voice suddenly rang out, trembling.
"What?" Gu Yuan Wu suddenly turned around.
… ….
"Brute brother, how is it? Have you found my sister?" Liu Bing Qian paced back and forth, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety.
"How about, I still …" She really wanted to squeeze into the middle of the black cyclones and search for her sister.
However, if she failed to catch him and went in, not only would it not help her, it would only cause more trouble for the other teachers.
Ye Feng had already explained the benefits to her.
"Bing Qian, don't be too anxious. There's still a total of fifty people left. Now that everyone has found her, all of the High Scholars are looking for her …"
"There's still 40 more to be counted …"
As time passed, even Ye Feng started to frown deeply.
"We still have 30 more seconds to go …"
He could already see the figures of the other teachers shaking their heads at him, without exception.
At this moment, a clear female voice sounded from behind them.
"The woman you're looking for, I've brought her."
