Ye Jing was waiting anxiously at the academy's gate. She also went along with the headmaster and others. However, when they arrived at the city's main street, they were told by the civilians that those people earlier were heading towards the jungle.
She had planned to go with them but was told by deputy headmaster to return. The reason being her cultivation was the weakest among the people and might need their protection if she went along. Therefore, in order not to delay them, she could only come back and wait there.
However, after waiting for so long, she still did not see them returning to the academy. The longer the time passed, the more uneasy she felt.
"I wonder if they can save Feng Jiu? Can Feng Jiu hold those powerful cultivators off until the headmaster and his party arrive?"
