Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

...

Before long, Lu Feng hurriedly arrived at the Baibaoxuan Pavilion on Yunlan Peak.

However, to his slight surprise, the Baibaoxuan store in front of him was not only deserted, but also had few stalls and hardly any people. It was not as lively and prosperous as it used to be, as if it had declined overnight and fallen to the bottom!

"What's going on?"

Looking at the desolate and bleak Baibaoxuan in front of him, Lu Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, a look of doubt on his face.

In his memory, although most of the elites of the East Academy would not patronize this place, for the other three major academies, especially the disciples of the North Academy who were full of newcomers, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion located on Yunlan Peak was still a good place for trading.

Besides, it's currently midday, and there should be quite a few disciples from various academies coming and going to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to set up stalls and trade. It shouldn't be this deserted!

This is one of the reasons why Lu Feng had doubts.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop here!"

As Lu Feng pondered this, he noticed a young man with a buzz cut dressed in a black martial arts robe walking past him in a flustered manner. He immediately reached out with his right hand and stopped the man.

"Uh! You...you're Senior Brother Lu Feng from the South Campus?!"

Suddenly blocked, the young man in black was slightly taken aback. When he realized that the person blocking his way was the "infamous" Lu Feng, he was startled and his voice became trembling.

There was no way around it; for most of the disciples of Falling Star Academy, Lu Feng's name was practically a "legend."

After all, the other party was just an unknown rogue cultivator with no background, yet he defeated powerful enemies one after another in just over a year after entering the academy, rose to fourth place in the South Academy, and even killed Cheng Xuyuan, one of the former high-ranking members of the Five Spirits Society, in the academy's grand competition!

The young man in black was just a newcomer to the North Academy, and his cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm. Now that he was suddenly blocked by the "infamous" Lu Feng, he was naturally terrified!

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you about something."

Noticing that the young man in black seemed nervous and uneasy, Lu Feng waved his hand, indicating that the other party had nothing to fear.

"Uh, not at all! I wouldn't dare be nervous!"

After repeatedly nodding and bowing, the young man in black still sounded somewhat uneasy, and said weakly, "What does Senior Brother Lu Feng wish to inquire about? I will certainly answer to the best of my knowledge..."

"Nothing much, I'm just a little curious why the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has suddenly become so deserted. Where have all the disciples from various academies gone, who usually set up stalls to trade?"

Seeing that the other party was so honest and cooperative, Lu Feng didn't waste any words and immediately spoke.

"Oh, this...!"

Upon hearing this, the young man in black was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lu Feng with a strange and surprised expression. "Senior Brother Lu Feng, please forgive my boldness, but perhaps you haven't received the notices issued by Vice Dean Xia and the elders...?"

"A notice? What notice?"

"What's been happening at the college lately?"

Lu Feng still looked puzzled.

After all, he had been in seclusion on Lingtai Peak these past few days and was not really aware of what was happening in the outside world.

"Senior Brother Lu Feng, this is what happened. Ever since Falling Star Academy received that 'Death Order of No Life' from the Lord of No Life, Vice Dean Xia and all the elders have issued a notice that Falling Star Academy will no longer recruit new disciples from now on."

Seeing that Lu Feng was indeed completely unaware, the young man in black paused for a moment, then said in a low, weak voice, "Besides, Vice Dean Xia also said that although Falling Star Academy is currently at a critical juncture of life and death, whether the disciples stay or leave is entirely up to their own will, and no one will interfere..."

"So, those disciples from various academies who disappeared didn't stop setting up stalls at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to trade, but rather fled due to the threat from the Wusheng Sect?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng roughly understood the situation, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

At first, he was puzzled as to why the usually bustling and prosperous Baibaoxuan was suddenly deserted. It turned out that some of the disciples were cowardly and afraid of death, and had voluntarily withdrawn from Luoxing Academy to avoid being affected by the retaliation of Wusheng Sect.

"Uh, yes...yes!"

Swallowing hard, the young man in black looked uneasy.

Just as Lu Feng had guessed, quite a few people had indeed left the four branches of Falling Star Academy. The total number of students was at least one-third less than at its peak. Moreover, most of the students who left were afraid of the threat of retaliation from the Wusheng Sect, especially those from the North and West branches!

After all, most of the disciples in these two branches are newcomers with low strength, while the Wusheng Sect was once a powerful demonic sect that swept across most of the Eastern Xuan Region. It is quite normal for these new disciples to be afraid of death!

"I see...!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng stroked his chin, then seemed to remember something and looked at the black-clad youth opposite him again, "By the way, since the Wusheng Sect has now set its sights on Luoxing Academy, why haven't you run away yet?"
