Elder Shen Song cried out in shock, Lin Jing was still unaware of the situation, when terrifying illusory mana suddenly erupted within the academy, filling the sky, and causing the entire Hidden Dragon Academy to instantly become a gray haze.

In an instant, dozens of massive Nascent Soul phenomena, Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirits, and even illusory visions appeared, the chaotic aura prompting the students practicing in the academy to rush out and inspect the anomaly.

"Who dares to invade the academy!"

Many academy experts scanned around, while three Illusory Principals stood at the center of the academy, each standing on their illusory treasures, immense Space Power emanating from them, impacting the space formation that sealed and enveloped the academy.

The three principals of Hidden Dragon Academy were all at the Illusory Stage, of whom Lin Jing was somewhat familiar with the Vice Principal who had a goatee.

At this moment, these three had ghastly expressions, almost incredulous, not shocked by the invader, but by the space fluctuations enveloping the academy that even their combined efforts couldn't unravel.

Such a situation was almost impossible unless a Transcendence Stage expert acted, yet Transcendence Stage experts were scarce, and even if one acted, why would they target a mere academy? Although important, it was not a critical area of the Ancient Country!

"It's not the Transcendence Stage, it's the Immortal Palace Compass." Suddenly, amidst the three principals, a white-haired woman sensed the anomaly in the void.

The void projected a mirage, a figure stood on a white compass, though his face and attire were unclear, sinister cold aura enveloped him, conveying through mana the identity of the intruder to the three academy principals.

"Yin Corpse Sect."

It's a cultivator from the Yin Corpse Sect, bringing a treasure of Space Attribute.

"Indeed, long time no see," the mirage slowly spoke, "Thank you, three of you, for repeatedly disrupting my Yin Corpse Sect's plans. This time, I've come personally to offer my return gift! This 'Immortal Palace Compass', are you familiar with it?"

"Nine-Child Demon Venerable, you're courting death!" The Chief Principal of the academy roared in fury, smashing the mirage, yet futile in halting the compass's operation.

Just as the mirage dissipated, an inexplicable Space Power fully activated, soon causing students' figures to vanish directly, even Nascent Soul Stage professors couldn't resist and were transported away one after another.

"This is disastrous, this is a relic within the Immortal Palace, rumor has it that it fell into the hands of the Gu God Sect, how could it now appear in the hands of the Yin Corpse Sect."

While resisting the transport power, Elder Shen Song conveyed a series of information to Lin Jing's mind, despite Lin Jing still uncertain about what was happening.

"Elder Shen Song..."

"Supposedly, it's the Gu God Sect and Yin Corpse Sect partnering, this Immortal Palace Compass is a transport artifact, it possesses no destructive power, nor does it follow any pattern, it is a random transport treasure."

"Precisely because it's without pattern, even Illusory Stage cultivators adept in Space Power can't break the compass's transport power in a short time, let alone intercept the life being transported out."

"In conclusion, lives covered by the compass will be transported to random locations, entirely random, seemingly useless, unable to inflict harm, yet in a specific situation, somewhat useful, such as targeting you!"

"After all, Hidden Dragon City has Illusory experts stationed, is close to Celestial Essence Ancient City, even if the three major demon sects sent formidable fighters, they couldn't break through in a short time, hard to abduct you from this city and leave the Ancient Country safely."

"But the Gu God Sect covets your Ice Soul Gu, the Yin Corpse Sect desires your Longevity Body, while you've remained in the academy undisturbed, since they can't capture you in Hidden Dragon City, they only need to change strategy, forcibly transport you from the academy."

"Even though the location is random, as long as you're without academy protection, they have a greater chance of capturing you. Furthermore, scattering the academy's students across territories also causes the academy to face influence from various sects as retaliation for academy experts disrupting their plans."

"Kid, I can't resist this transport power much longer, take this, it can somewhat obscure you from predictions, keeping others from deducing your location. I will find you as soon as possible, during this period, try your utmost to survive, make sure your luck is good, don't get transported to any demon sect or demon beast lair!!!"

With those words, Elder Shen Song transmitted all his advice to Lin Jing's mind, tossing a leaf into Lin Jing's storage bag, after which Lin Jing's figure vanished directly.

Under Elder Shen Song's watch, the transport power of the Immortal Palace Compass was terrifying, aside from the three pet beasts contract-bound with Lin Jing, considered as one entity, even the numerous mosquito beasts within Lin Jing's Ten Thousand Beasts Circle were extricated from the circle, each being transported independently to unknown places.

This abruptly caused Lin Jing to lose his incredibly rare army of ferocious beasts.

Lin Jing felt as if his heart was bleeding as he was whisked away, before disappearing, he glared fiercely at the fading spot where the Yin Corpse Sect cultivator stood.

"Damn you, Yin Corpse Sect, disturb my cultivation, steal my mosquito swarm, this vendetta, I shall not forget."

"Damn it, my Longevity Body." Elder Shen Song cursed angrily too, shortly after, he couldn't resist the transport power either, and his figure vanished within the academy, unknown where he was transported to.

That day.

A shocking news swept through the Nine Domains of the Ancient Country, Yin Corpse Sect's demon cultivators carrying Immortal Palace artifacts launched a horrifying attack on the Ancient Kingdom Academy, hundreds of prodigies from various cities and sects, as well as academy professors and teachers, were all transported to unknown places.

Although a batch of students was fortunate, remaining within the Nine Domains of the Ancient Country after being transported and not beyond the country, still more than eighty percent of geniuses completely lost their traces within the country, unknowingly transported to where.

Though vast, the Ancient Country is merely a region within the entire Celestial Essence Continent, not the whole world, outside the country lies Mist Forest, Cloud Sea Mountain Range, Qingzhou, Martial Emperor City, snowy plains, western desert, and beyond the Celestial Essence Continent the Boundless Sea...

After random transportation, the odds of remaining within the Ancient Country are not great.

Regarding this incident, the Ancient Emperor was furious, but due to being engaged in conflict with the Snowy Plains, the Ancient Country couldn't mobilize more forces to counter the Yin Corpse Sect and search for the missing prodigies.

Meanwhile.

As academy prodigies were transported to various locations, countless Gu God Sect members began searching for the Ice Soul Gu's whereabouts.

Within the Yin Corpse Sect, numerous disciples carrying special constitution-seeking artifacts intend to capture academy prodigies dispersed outside the Ancient Country.

The two demon sects seize the opportunity of the Ancient Country's entanglement in war to further disrupt the nation.

In that instant, the academy halted operations, locating the academy prodigies lost throughout the continent became the academy's foremost task...
