From MC's perspective:
It took me some time to digest the facts. Looking at the dean, I asked, "Then, what should we do now?"
Rebecca rolled her eyes before replying, "We are going to take care of this issue. You don't have to worry."
"I hope you just put your attention on training," She added further.
Hearing that, a hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes. But I can understand the meaning behind her words.
I'm still an Elite level Warrior. There is nothing much I can do to help. Then after discussing the other few topics, I left the room.
The following day,
The entire Viper City was in a state of alert. Four sides of the City Wall are under heavy protection. No one can enter or leave the city just like that.
People have to go through a secondary security check before going or entering the city.
Above the city, two people are standing in mid-air. A fiery old man with crimson red hair and a person with a white mask on his face are standing next to each other.
These two are none other than Flame Faction Head and Metal Faction Head.
Franklin Madden - SS Elite Flame Warrior and Marcus Lin - SS Elite Metal Warrior.
Both of them are looking for rogue warriors. The other faction heads have gone outside of the city.
Franklin is looking down at the people who are undergoing inspection. Marcus is also doing the same act.
A few minutes later,
Franklin asked, "What do you think?"
Yesterday, the dean briefed everyone about the killer organization working under their jurisdiction.
At first, no one believed me. But when she showed the evidence of unidentified warriors lurking in their city.
Everyone's expression changed at that time. On top of it, he also saw the banned herbs.
To think such a force working under their nose is an insult to their Saw Scaled Viper Academy.
Marcus Lin's expression was hard to see under the white mask.
But he replied, "I think Dean has her reasons to worry. Because we have been slacking in our patrolling."
"Otherwise, so many unknown Super Elite Warriors can't appear here," He added further.
Then both of them remained silent.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Sharp Daggers hideout. Things were not okay. Saw Scale Viper Academy's thundering response came out as a surprise for them.
The leader Vik was anxious. When the news reached his ears. He ordered everyone to vacate the hideout.
Their hideout is located near the gorge. It will be a matter of time before their hideout gets exposed.
Under his order, everyone started to leave one by one and went in different directions. After a few hours, the leader Vik was sitting alone.
He waited until everyone left. So that he can destroy the hideout himself before going out.
Right now, he walked to his treasury. The most valuable place in this hideout is the treasury. Where all the stolen goods are kept.
When he arrived, He saw a door made up of metal. He then opened the vault to retrieve the items.
Inside there are many lower-grade artifacts, banned goods, pills, and expensive herbs are kept.
Seeing that he began to collect the items. After a few minutes, the vault was emptied.
Boom~
Vik destroyed the hideout before walking out. He immediately fled from the spot. Shortly after, a team of warriors came to investigate the gorge.
Rising smoke and uneven areas quickly attracted their attention. When the team arrived at the spot.
Everyone's expression was filled with shock. The place seems to have been destroyed a while ago. After realizing that, they reported to their higher-ups.
Saw Scale Viper Academy:
Meanwhile,
I came to the teleportation tower to go to the high mountain peak. I wanted to go to the monster zone earlier.
But for that, I have to recover my purple essence.
Last time, I went as a team with Ernest and Laverne. This time I didn't let them know.
After stepping up the platform, I activated the server.
Swoosh~
I disappeared from the spot. The next second, I found myself in the dark forest.
Seeing the dark clouds again in the sky. A bright smile appeared on my face. It will be a matter of time before it starts raining.
I activated the perceptual ability. Then I started to walk towards the destination.
Time passed,
After several hours of walk-through, I reached the spot. But the next scene surprised me greatly.
In my perception, I saw people standing at the foot of the mountain. Thanks to my perception, I stopped my movements abruptly.
"What are they doing here?" I said in my heart.
Four warriors are talking leisurely near the bedrock. Right now, the rain is pouring down heavily.
But they seem to not care about the rain at all. If not for the mission, then what else could be?
Their activities sound suspicious to me. Fortunately, they didn't seem to be aware of my presence in this pouring rain.
At the same time, I perked up my ears to listen to their conversation.
"Hey, we are just wasting time here," A black-haired warrior said to his friend.
Four of them are completely wet under rainfall.
Hearing his words, the other three Red Moon Tower warriors were depressed as well.
Four of them came here to complete their mission. The mission is to find the traces of intruders.
Some time ago, one of their warriors reported suspicious activity near the high peak mountain.
To verify the claim, a miscellaneous mission was issued.
Four of them happened to be free. On top of it, they have to fulfill the mission completion count as well.
So this miscellaneous mission came as a timely help for them.
"I think we should leave. We haven't found anyone coming here so far," Another warrior uttered in support.
Then after some discussion four of them decided to leave. But at the same time, they are stopped by three people.
Seeing that face of the four people darkened.
"He...He...He..."
"Hey, Max. Are you going to ditch the mission?"
A stoic-looking warrior asked while blocking their way.
"Mitch?" Among the four, a person stepped forward. He is the one who raised the question earlier.
Max was pissed off. He never expected his rival to come here.
"Are you spying on us?" Max asked.
"Ha..Ha...Ha...," Mitch laughed out loud.
"What spying? I'm going to inform the elders about your conversation," Mitch added further.
"You dare!" Max and the other three stepped forward.
Everyone knows about Mitch's character. If he reports back, then he will add extra false news to the report.
Meanwhile,
My heart was not calm. If my assumption is right, then they must have found my tracks. I usually clear out the weeds near the bedrock before sitting down for cultivation.
This must have attracted the attention of others.
When I'm wondering, a fight broke out between the two groups.
The team with three warriors surprisingly overwhelmed the team with four warriors.
Seeing that I raised my eyebrows in displeasure.
I came here to cultivate. But something else is going on here. I don't want to return without recovering my purple essence.
Then looking at their fight, I made a firm decision. I decided to find some other spot.
Without making a noise, I slowly retreated backward. These guys are busy fighting each other. So they won't notice my presence.
I started to go around a high peak mountain. After one hour of walking through, I found a good spot.
It's a natural cave-like structure formed under the ground.
Looking at the pitch-black darkness, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
I spread my perception inside.
Hiss~
The next moment, I heard a hissing sound.
A brown-colored head appeared above the ground.
"Class 1 Monster," I uttered in surprise.
Then I brought the black sword outside to cut off the snake's head.
Pfff!
Blood splattered on the ground. The snake monster stopped moving after a few seconds.
Seeing that I spread my consciousness again.
After a few seconds, I found no other heat signature.
Then I entered the cave structure. I didn't go deep inside. Rather I stood near the entrance.
Seeing that rock ceiling is covering me from the pouring rain.
I decided to cultivate here. Before doing that I spread my consciousness once again around the surroundings.
I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to run the celestial scripture.
The next moment, the lightning rune in my consciousness started flickering.
Slowly, I started to absorb the purple energy from the surroundings. When the energy entered my body.
I guided the energy according to the cultivation method. After circulation, the energy settles inside my dantian.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
When a certain amount of purple essence was gathered. The majestic totem made a move.
It started to purify the purple essence.
Then I continued to cultivate.
Time passed,
I opened my eyes three hours later. When I looked inside. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
My dantian is filled with purple essence. Hereafter, I can go to the monster zone without any worry.
