236 Vermilion Bird Throne 236 Vermilion Bird Throne “””
Outside the Secret Realm, by Yunze Lake.
Watching the water-colored light pillar that erupted from the lake grow stronger twice in just a short moment, everyone’s expressions turned grim.
“Given the current situation, I’m afraid the Demon King is just one step away from resurrection…”
“This aura seems even more astounding than we anticipated.”
“I wonder how powerful the Demon King will be once resurrected.
Will it appear directly here or retreat into the South Sea through some arrangement?”
…
Although no one spoke, thoughts continuously surged in everyone’s minds.
Rong Fangsheng took a step forward, his powerful perception enveloping the entire lake surface as his Essence Qi Spirit reached its peak.
If the resurrected Demon King merely left the Secret Realm, it would be fine.
But if it emerged from the lake, regardless of whether it had regained a fraction of its strength or fully recovered through some secret technique, Rong Fangsheng would not hesitate to strike with thunderous means at the first moment!
Just then, the almost blinding water-colored light pillar suddenly trembled as if someone had strangled its throat.
It immediately shattered from top to bottom, transforming into countless water and star dust that scattered across the water’s surface!
“What?!
Does this mean the Demon King’s resurrection failed?!” a Radiant Moon Level expert exclaimed.
Another person beside him stroked his chin: “It seems so…
but we can’t be sure.”
“It’s indeed strange.
It was close to success just now, but now it suddenly failed.
Truly odd!”
Rong Fangsheng’s eyes also showed a trace of surprise.
At this moment, the water’s surface suddenly rippled as if something was emerging from the lake.
Rong Fangsheng quickly extended his perception toward the lake’s surface with caution, but it only revealed some students and sea beasts.
Moments later, “splash splash splash…” figures continued to leap from the lake’s surface.
There were students, army warriors, and numerous sea beasts!
Without further instructions from the three Burning Sun big shots at the front, Radiant Moon and Shining Star automatically moved forward to exterminate all those sea beasts.
Hou Wu stepped forward to inquire, “What’s the situation inside?”
“Reporting to the Special Envoy, we were still in the ruins, but the entire ruins suddenly became extremely unstable and expelled us back to the lake’s entrance soon after.”
Hou Wu asked the warrior beside him: “You too?”
“Yes, us too.”
“What about the Demon King?
Did it successfully resurrect?”
“We don’t know.
We were outside the Sea of Fog.
Only Captain Lin Xin, holding the bead obtained from the ruins, went in.
We have no idea about the situation inside.”
“Bead?”
“It’s the key item to enter the core area of the ruins.”
“And where is Lin Xin?”
The warriors looked at each other and shook their heads: “Seems like he hasn’t come out yet.”
Hou Wu nodded, then walked over to the academy crowd and asked, “Students, is there anything unusual on your side?”
Liu Congyun immediately responded respectfully: “Two of our academy students went in…
and they haven’t come out either.”
The number of students who entered was not large, only a few dozen.
At this moment, they all gathered here.
Hou Wu glanced over and remembered the two who hadn’t come out.
“Is it your student president and Su Yuan?”
Liu Congyun replied: “Exactly!”
Hou Wu’s eyes brightened.
