Ling Lan organized everything and quickly returned to the Azure Central Scout Academy while Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu secretly went back to the Li family. Little Four had already tampered with the footage on the surveillance cameras along the way, showing that the Li brothers went back to their house the moment the attack happened. As descendants of the Li family, it was understandable that they decided to return home and seek protection from their family. No one would suspect their actions.

At that moment, all the scouts from the Azure Central Scout Academy were already gathered at a vast field somewhere in the school, far away from the forest. They waited for the result of the battle there.

Ling Lan silently sneaked into the crowd of scouts. Of course, to make sure that she was not discovered, she entered from the edge.

"Why did you run out?"Coincidently, two familiar people were at the place where she attempted to sneak in. It was Yu Zhengyuan and Little Jin.

Yu Zhengyuan looked at Ling Lan who was standing at the edge with a confused look. He frowned. He thought that Ling Lan was bullied.

Little Jin shook his head and said, "The edge is more dangerous. No one knows if there are any enemies left so you should come back inside.

Ling Lan saw them and immediately looked as though she had found her life savior. "Brother Little Jin, I lost Little White."

Yu Zhengyuan quickly realized that Little White was not in Ling Lan's arm. Ling Lan always carried it around with him.

"Did you left it in your apartment?" Little Jin asked quickly.

"No, it was always beside me. When I was thrown by that huge monster just now, I didn't manage to grab it. I lost it." Ling Lan was so worried that she looked as though she was going to cry at any moment. Yu Zhengyuan and Little Jin couldn't bear to see her cry.

"Little White looks smart. It can probably… find you…" Yu Zhengyuan wanted to console Ling Lan but Ling Lan gave him a look of disdain when he said that. He couldn't continue his sentence. Fine, that fat little ball had nothing to do with the word 'clever'. He once saw Pei Shaoyun asking Little White for direction a few times but Little White always gave the wrong direction, so it must be bad with directions. If it was lost, it probably wouldn't be able to find its way back.

"Once this matter ends, we will help you to look for it." Little Jin was better at consoling people. He immediately suggested helping Ling Lan to look for Little White.

Ling Lan's expression immediately lightened up. Little Jin's words managed to comfort Ling Lan. Little Jin looked at his leader proudly, seemingly implying 'look, I know our little brother better'.

Yu Zhengyuan bitterly smiled and shook his head. As expected, people with the same level of intelligence communicated better with each other.

Boom! A loud explosion suddenly came out from nowhere. Yu Zhengyuan quickly grabbed onto Ling Lan who lost her balance from the small earthquake. He frowned and looked at the direction of the explosion. The military had reached the forest now. Why did such a huge explosion occur here?

Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared in the crowd's vision. When they blinked their eyes just once, he was already in front of them.

When the middle-aged man saw the valedictorian uniform Yu Zhengyuan was wearing, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew to grab him.

"How dare you!" A lightning bolt and a stream of water suddenly attacked the middle-aged man. At the same time, a fire wall appeared in front of Yu Zhengyuan and others, preventing the middle-aged man from harming them.

The middle-aged looked at the lightning bolt and the stream of water. He had been injured by the combined attacks of these two elements before, so he would not be injured by that cheap trick again. He exponentially increased his speed and ran away from the lightning and water. Then, he charged through the fire wall and rushed towards Yu Zhengyuan.

"Ah!" Ling Lan appeared to be shocked by the situation. She seemed to have lost control of her emotions and pushed Yu Zhengyuan who was beside her. Yu Zhengyuan knew that he was unable to escape so he was preparing to fight the middle-aged man to his death. However, he didn't expect Ling Lan to suddenly push him so he fell to the side, landing heavily on the ground.

At first, the middle-aged man wanted to catch Yu Zhengyuan. But after Yu Zhengyuan fell down, he instead grabbed Ling Lan who was standing beside Yu Zhengyuan. He was shocked but he didn't have any more time so he just settled with Ling Lan and quickly flew out of the school. He originally wanted to use his ultimate technique to kill some scouts at the field. That way, the military would have to split their attention to the cadets. However, with more than ten domain realm masters behind him. If he used his ultimate technique, he would be stranded here. His life was more valuable than just some scouts.

Only the middle-aged man knew who his target was. People might think that it was Ling Lan, but his actual target was Yu Zhengyuan who was just slightly injured by his force of presence.

"d.a.m.n it!" Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu were furious when they saw the middle-aged man grabbing their beloved roommate, Pei Shaoyun. They quickly chased after him. The water element domain realm master who cooperated with Tang Ningyu, as well as a few other domain realm masters, chased after the middle-aged man too. They didn't expect there to be another t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior guarding the headquarters. Fortunately, they outnumbered the middle-aged man. If not, they might all have died here as the middle-aged man was much stronger than them. They didn't want the talented youths who were groomed by the military to lose their life here but at the same time, they wanted to trap the t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior here as he would be a huge threat to the Federation if he escaped.

Very soon, colourful figures disappeared from Yu Zhengyuan's view. Yu Zhengyuan picked himself up from the ground in shock and looked at the people who disappeared with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

"Leader, are you alright?" The other members of his team were shocked too. They didn't expect to face a domain realm master that closely.

"I'm fine!" Yu Zhengyuan shook his head. Deep inside, he knew that if Pei Shaoyun hadn't pushed him, he would instead be the hostage. Did Pei Shaoyun do that on purpose? If it was a coincidence, he was really lucky. If it was intended… Yu Zhengyuan felt his heart pumping loudly.

"Pei Shaoyun, you must come back safely," Yu Zhenyuan softly muttered. His query could only be answered if Pei Shaoyun came back.

"Pei Shaoyun got taken away." Little Jin felt fortunate that his leader was safe but he wanted to cry when he remembered that Pei Shaoyun was captured. His cute little brother. What should he do? He wished that he was the one who was captured instead.

The middle-aged man was unable to throw the people chasing him away. He didn't want to expose the other secret bases of the organization so he turned around angrily and activated his domain. Then, he pushed his palm out.

Two ice mountains suddenly appeared and flew towards Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran who were the closest to him.
