Many cultivators who heard the news felt a sense of fear, but even worse news was yet to come. Some said that there was an unfathomable demonic cave within that deathly abyss, from which monstrous demonic energy emanated, and from which the heavy aura of death also originated.
The news was shocking! Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and an atmosphere of fear permeated the cultivators. Some timid people even wanted to flee the City of Sin immediately, but many more cultivators wanted to go to the Death Zone to find out what kind of place it was.
All of this was meticulously planned by the vice dean of the Divine Wind Academy. He orchestrated this whole affair. After learning of this shocking news from Chen Nan, he sent two dragon knights to investigate whether it was true.
The two dragon riders watched the soaring demonic energy from ten miles away in the Deathly Desolation. They dared not take another step forward. In fact, even if they wanted to continue, their dragon mounts would not obey their commands. After arriving here, the dragons were already terrified and almost out of control.
After the two dragon knights reported in detail to the vice-principal about what they had seen on the outskirts of the Deathly Abyss, he began to devise a plan to get all cultivators' attention to the matter. After consulting with many leaders within the Divine Wind Academy, they unanimously agreed that they should leverage the influence of this competition to bring the Deathly Abyss to the forefront. Therefore, as the competition reached its climax, the vice-principal began sending people to spread the news of the Deathly Abyss among the cultivators.
At this moment, the vice deans of War God Academy, Illusion Demon Academy, and Immortal Martial Academy were in the office of the vice dean of Divine Wind Academy. After the vice dean of Divine Wind Academy gave a detailed explanation, the other three slowly came to their senses.
One of the old men said, "You old codger, you really know how to keep things a secret! You only told us about such an important matter now!"
The other two chimed in, "It's unbelievable that such a mysterious and terrifying place exists. You really deserve to be punished, old man."
"Exactly, and we've been friends with you for decades!"
The vice-dean of Shenfeng Academy sighed, "This matter is far too significant; I didn't dare to speak of it lightly at first! Alright, let's discuss what to do next."
The vice dean of the Illusion Demon Academy said, "I think we should immediately issue invitations to renowned masters from all over the continent to come to the City of Sin. A team of the continent's top experts can then conduct an in-depth investigation in the Deathly Desolation."
The vice dean of the Immortal Martial Academy nodded and said, "That's a good idea. We should invite all those reclusive senior experts out of the world. After all, there is a god-like and demon-like being in the Deathly Abyss, and everything is full of variables. The expedition team must be composed of people with extraordinary strength."
The vice dean of the War God Academy has been in low spirits these past few days. Young Marquis Shenwei was a junior expert whom he greatly admired, but unexpectedly, he was pinned to death by Chen Nan in the square. He felt very remorseful and blamed himself for letting the two fight, but what's done is done, and it's too late to say anything now.
Although he was in low spirits, he still expressed his opinion, saying, "I think we should stop the peak battle of the young powerhouses of the four academies now, and select some of these elite experts to go to the Death Zone first. Let these people explore the outer area and collect enough useful information, so that when those reclusive senior experts arrive here, they will not be completely ignorant of the Death Zone."
The other three vice deans nodded in agreement, and the four of them began a secret discussion in the room, not emerging until an hour later.
On the tenth day of the battle between the young powerhouses of the four academies, news of the Death Zone had spread far and wide. At this point, people knew that it was the people from the Divine Wind Academy who had first discovered the Death Zone, and they all demanded that the person in charge of the Divine Wind Academy come out and explain.
The Death Zone has now become the focus of people's conversations, completely overshadowing the highly anticipated battle of the four academies' young powerhouses. People are paying extra attention to any news related to the terrifying Death Zone.
On the tenth day, the vice deans of the four academies jointly issued a statement at the Divine Wind Academy Square, announcing the suspension of the peak battle of young elites among the four academies. The four academies will select a group of people from the participating elites to explore the Death Zone.
This news was like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar and sparking heated discussions among the tens of thousands of cultivators watching the battle.
Finally, the vice dean of Shenfeng Academy gave everyone a detailed account of the scene Chen Nan witnessed when he entered the Deathly Abyss, and stated that he would send a message by carrier pigeon to invite senior experts from all over the continent to come to the City of Sin to explore the mysterious and terrifying Deathly Abyss.
Tens of thousands of cultivators were in an uproar, everyone incredibly excited. What earth-shattering secrets did the mysterious Death Abyss hold? Which reclusive masters would be invited here, and would they be able to uncover the truth?
Everyone was relieved to have arrived in the City of Sin, catching a grand gathering of the cultivation world that only happens once every few decades. Undoubtedly, the City of Sin would soon be in turmoil, with countless top experts flocking there from all over the continent. The terrifying and mysterious Death Zone would ignite a massive movement within the cultivation world.
Finally, the vice dean of Shenfeng Academy added that everyone could sign up to explore the Death Zone. The four academies would select the top experts from the applicants, and they would set off ten days later with the elite experts of the four academies to explore the Death Zone ahead of time, paving the way for the peerless experts.
