"Jingjing, I am truly sorry, these people have all obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit, I cannot let them complete the mission first, so I will be leaving first."

Yang Yue had previously said that Di Chen would hurt Liu Jingjing and had to protect her safety, but when he found out that there was someone who could complete the mission ahead of him, he did not hesitate to abandon Liu Jingjing.

Liu Jingjing turned around and saw a lot of people rushing down the mountain, as though they were running, and said in shock: "No one found the Vermillion Bird Fruit just now, why did so many people find it all of a sudden?"

Di Chen stood up and said: "We cannot let them hand in the mission before us, or else we will have wasted our time searching for the Vermillion Bird Fruit."

In order to find this Vermillion Bird Fruit, Di Chen had suffered a lot, but unfortunately, there was only one person who could complete the mission, which was the reason why Zhao Fusheng was so wise.

Liu Jingjing laughed bitterly: "But they are all at the Martial King Realm, and are stronger than us, so I am afraid that we will not be able to rush to the Zhao Mansion in front of them."

"Sure," Di Chen surged with the power of the scholars. The word "freeze" on the tree turned into ripples and spread out.

"My body, what's going on?"

"Who did this?"

All of them cried out in surprise, but their bodies seemed to have been restrained by an invisible force. The stronger ones could still move their arms, but they couldn't move at all.

"Hurry up," Di Chen had carved a large number of 'fix' words on the mountain before, just in case something like this happened. It was just that he did not expect that so many people would find the Vermillion Bird Fruit at the same time, and stop these people from using up all of the power in their bodies.

Liu Jingjing and Di Chen immediately headed down the mountain. Di Chen's wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Everyone saw that Di Chen and Liu Jingjing could still move, and immediately understood what was going on. These two fellows actually locked themselves in place to give him time to submit his mission?

"Di Chen, what you're doing is too shameless."

"Let go of us quickly, or else I'll cripple your martial soul when I get back."

Everyone cursed out loud. They had finally obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but they were stopped by someone with Lifestealer Realm and could not deliver the mission in time. How could these Martial Kings not be angry?

Di Chen did not care about them, when he passed by Yang Yue, he stopped, and stared at him playfully.

Yang Yue tried to move his body, but it would be difficult for him to struggle free. His face darkened: "What do you want?"

Di Chen laughed and said: "I have always been a person who avenges himself no matter what, when you heavily injured me just now, I will take your things as compensation."

As he said that, he took out all the things in Yang Yue's bosom. There was a money pouch, there were also many miraculous pills and medicines, and also the Spirit Grass that he picked up from the mountains this time. Di Chen didn't even look at how many he had, he just stuffed them all into his robes and ran.

"Di Chen, I'm going to kill you," Yang Yue shouted angrily, that was all of his wealth, he had spent a few years to save all of it, but now Di Chen had snatched it away?

Di Chen knew that he could not hold these people for long, and increased his pace with Liu Jingjing. An hour later, they arrived outside the Zhao manor, and just as they arrived, Di Chen noticed that the Martial Kings had also rushed over, so Di Chen quickly ran into the Zhao manor. He said that he wanted to hand in his mission, and a Attendant brought Di Chen to the great hall to see Zhao Fusheng.

At the Zhao Family.

It had already been three days and no one had brought back Vermillion Bird Fruit. Zhao Fusheng actually wasn't in a rush, he would receive a letter everyday. No one knew what was written on the letter, and Zhao Fusheng would smile inwardly whenever he finished reading it.

"Grandfather." Zhao Waner walked over: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is hard to find. Only by entering the deep mountains can one find it.

Zhao Fusheng received another letter, and laughed: "Someone has found him, he is on his way here right now."

Zhao Waner knew that Zhao Fusheng had sent people to monitor the students of the Sky Realm Academy, and curiously asked: "Who is it, could it be Yuan Feng or Yang Yue?"

These two were the most outstanding Martial King Realm experts, with the strongest strengths, thus, they had the greatest chance of acquiring Vermillion Bird Fruit s. Zhao Waner immediately thought of them.

Zhao Fusheng smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a while."

Zhao Waner had a strange expression, thinking, why is Grandfather acting mysterious, could it be that something interesting happened in Thousand Monster Mountain this time?

"Master, someone has finished their task. Where are we waiting for you in the hall?"

At this moment, the butler walked in.

Zhao Fusheng laughed, then looked at Zhao Waner: "Wan'er, didn't you want to know who got the Vermillion Bird Fruit first, you'll know very soon."

Zhao Waner curiously followed Zhao Fusheng to the great hall, and the two people that entered her sight were actually Di Chen and Liu Jingjing. Zhao Waner had some impression of the two of them, they were two very smart people, but their realms were relatively low.

Di Chen stood up and cupped his fists: "Old Master Zhao, I've brought back the Vermillion Bird Fruit that you wanted."

He glanced at Liu Jingjing, and Liu Jingjing immediately took out a Vermillion Bird Fruit the size of a fingernail and placed it on the table.

Zhao Waner picked up the Vermillion Bird Fruit and curiously looked at it, then said in surprise: "It really is a mature Vermillion Bird Fruit, your luck is quite good, those martial kings were not able to find it."

Without even looking at the Vermillion Bird Fruit, Zhao Fusheng gestured for Di Chen to sit down. Then he laughed: "You guys have three Vermillion Bird Fruit, but you want to use the worst to please me?"

"Three?" Zhao Waner was shocked: "You found so many Vermillion Bird Fruit?"

and Liu Jingjing looked at each other. Previously, Di Chen found one of them to be the oldest Vermillion Bird Fruit, and later on, he found two at the small fruit's place, one of them refined the poison to kill Yuan Feng and the other two, leaving behind two. The one Di Chen gave to Zhao Fusheng was precisely the one who snatched it away from Yang Yue.

Liu Jingjing immediately understood what was going on and frowned: You have been sending people to monitor Di Chen and me?

Zhao Waner laughed, "You two think too highly of yourselves. My grandfather is not only monitoring the two of you, he has also sent people to monitor the people who are coming up the mountain. We know everything that happened in the mountain."

Zhao Fusheng continued: "For example, you killed two people from the Martial King Realm and stole their things."

Di Chen was startled, but he thought that it was no wonder that someone seemed to be following him. He had already guessed that the Vermillion Bird Fruit mission had been revealed on purpose, and hearing his words, he became even more sure that it was him, but he still did not know what Zhao Fusheng's motive was.

Di Chen thought for a while, "Since you have the ability to send people to spy on us, then it means that you have the ability to gather Vermillion Bird Fruit yourself. It looks like this Vermillion Bird Fruit's mission is just a pretense, why did you do this?"

Zhao Fusheng did not answer directly, but asked back, "Do you know the Famous Sword Academy?"

Di Chen nodded his head: "One of the three academies in Martial Region Continent, with a name similar to the Sky Realm Academy, in Spirit State City …"

suddenly understood and was shocked: "You are from the Famous Sword Academy?"

Zhao Fusheng did not hide anything and nodded: "That's right, I am the Vice Principal of Famous Sword Academy."

Di Chen and Liu Jingjing looked at each other, the two knew that the Zhao Family was one of the big clans of the Millennium City, and had lived here for generations. They never thought that the master of the Zhao Family would be the vice principal of the Famous Sword Academy, as the journey between Spirit State City and the Millennium City was over two months.

But why would the Vice Principal of the Famous Sword Academy entrust this mission to him?

Zhao Fusheng saw that Di Chen was still confused, and explained: "The three great academies of Martial Region Continent will hold a competition every few years, and the next competition will be a year later. I have given a mission in your Sky Realm Academy to see the strength of all of you students, but I do not know who will carry out this mission, so I simply revealed the mission and let you all personally come to me to receive it, this way I can send people to monitor you guys and observe your strength, which will benefit the competition a year later."

Di Chen suddenly realized that Zhao Fusheng was originally preparing for the competition of the three great academies in a year. From the looks of it, Zhao Fusheng had more than one mission in Sky Realm Academy, and it would be a higher level mission.

After all, the competition between the three great academies was limited to Lifestealer Realm.

Liu Jingjing asked doubtfully, "Are you not afraid that we will tell the academy what you have just told us?"

Zhao Fusheng laughed: "Actually, not only our Famous Sword Academy, the other two academies would also do the same. Everyone is well aware of each other, and even if they knew, they would turn a blind eye to it."

thought that since the Three Great Academies had not competed twice already, Famous Sword Academy had always stealthily given the Sky Realm Academy some missions to observe the strength of the students, it was likely that the Sky Realm Academy knew about it, and did not need him to say anything further, just that Di Chen did not understand why Zhao Fusheng would tell him these things, if he were to know about the missions that he would not give them in the future, how would the Sky Realm Academy observe the strength of the students?

But Di Chen did not care, since he was not interested in the competition between the three academies, he said: "Old Master Zhao, we have already brought back this Vermillion Bird Fruit, your mission does not have any requirements for the age of the Vermillion Bird Fruit."

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, and a butler handed over a purse to Di Chen, and laughed: "You are right, there is a million silver inside, which is enough for you to exchange for a hundred points."

Di Chen put away his money pouch, cupped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Jingjing, let's go."

"Wait," Zhao Fusheng called out to Di Chen.

Di Chen stopped and asked curiously: "Is there anything else for Old Master Zhao?"

Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment before asking: "Are you interested in joining our Famous Sword Academy?"

Di Chen was startled, not only did this Zhao Fusheng want to test the strength of the Sky Realm Academy's students, he actually also wanted to dig a corner?

Liu Jingjing was also slightly surprised. The three great academies had very harsh requirements to recruit students, but this Zhao Fusheng actually invited Di Chen to join them?
