In the past, when disciples from Bitao Martial Academy crossed Soul Severing Valley, they not only had to face the natural forces of the valley but also endured incessant attacks from Spirit Beasts. It was considered very fortunate if any disciple escaped injury after stumbling their way through.
This time, however, their crossing through Soul Severing Valley was unexpectedly smooth, and, incredibly, they encountered no attacks from any Spirit Beasts.
This should have been a cause for celebration, but aside from Yang Lin, the mood among the other eight members of the Bitao Martial Academy team was far from good.
Fang Bai's importance to Bitao Martial Academy was undeniable, and now that he was missing and his fate unknown, a shadow had been cast over the trip to Purple Flame City by Ge Feng and others. Even if the academy's team could achieve better results at this sect conference than ever before, it could not compensate for the loss of Fang Bai.
