Seeing the rescue team move, Adjutant Li walked to a military off-road vehicle and looked at the blind old man.

“Senior, everything is going according to plan. I don’t think you need to do anything.”

“Are you sure?” The old man leaned to the side.

“We’re well prepared. So far, ten of the twenty students who were eliminated were attacked by those Ghost Disciples. They’re all only lightly injured. There’s no problem,” Adjutant Li replied confidently. “Moreover, most of these Ghost Disciples are only Level 30. Even if there are Contract Soul Masters who have lurked beyond Level 40, there won’t be any problems.”

“The remaining 13 contestants were outstanding in all aspects to be able to explore until now. It’s basically impossible for those Ghost Disciples to meet and kill them before pressing the alarm.”

The champions of the Enlightenment Cup were all elites chosen by the major cities of the West Peak Continent.

Adjutant Li was still very confident in them.

“Then there’s a question. Have you thought about it?” The old man with the slanted eyes suddenly said, “On the way, why would a Ghost Disciple attack the deer group? To expose himself?”

“It… It shouldn’t have been done intentionally, right?” Adjutant Li frowned, “It was accidentally discovered by Wang Che. If he didn’t discover it, we can’t be sure of their whereabouts.”

“What about attacking the deer group? Why did those Ghost Disciples attack the deer group? If they don’t attack the deer group, there’s no possibility of being exposed.”

Adjutant Li had never thought of this question.

“Ghost disciples are cruel to begin with…” Adjutant Li thought for a few seconds. They wantonly broke the rules, trampled on the laws, and attacked the soul beasts in the wilderness.

It was quite normal.

“Then why did they only attack the deer group and not the other soul beasts?” The blind old man asked.

Adjutant Li was stunned.

He had not thought of this question.

At this moment, a military Alert Eagle flew over from afar.

It landed on the blind old man’s shoulder.

The Alert Eagle called out to the blind old man.

It seemed to be transmitting some kind of message.

After hearing this, the blind old man suddenly stood up, his expression slightly gloomy.

“Senior, what are you doing?” Adjutant Li was puzzled.

This was near the Soul Earth. They needed Alert Eagles to transmit information, which meant that it was very far away.

This was because the interference here was too great. Even military communication devices could only transmit messages at a short distance.

“I just confirmed something,” the blind old man said slowly.

“What?”

“I asked an old friend from Skyheart City’s soul beast base about the deer group.”

The blind old man walked forward step by step, “This deer herd is indeed not simple… That old friend told me that according to current research, if a Rainbow Deer King can appear in the deer herd, then there’s a chance that a rare treasure, a Life Origin Stone, will appear.”

“Life Origin Stone?” Adjutant Li had heard of this treasure.

This thing could be said to be extremely rare. It contained a vast life force and could transform into any attribute life force without any side effects.

It could increase a soul pet’s lifespan by a large amount.

There was no market for it.

It was difficult to find normally.

“Those Ghost Disciples are for the Life Origin Stone?” Adjutant Li understood.

“No, it’s not just that.” As the blind old man spoke, he directly sent a voice transmission, “Have you forgotten that at the top of the Floating Forest… there’s a slumbering soul beast?”

“You mean that hundred thousand year soul beast, Sky God Dragon, Sirios!” Adjutant Li felt as if his head had been struck by something.

He suddenly recalled something.

There was an ancient soul beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years in the Floating Forest.

However, this soul beast had some background.

Thousands of years ago, after humans and soul beasts defeated the Soul Demons and Dark Beasts of the other world, the Floating Forest was not like this.

It did not calm down either.

At the time, the shattered space and the violent soul power made it extremely easy for this place to form a wormhole and continue to be invaded by another world.

With the strength of humans back then, it was far from enough to repair these chaotic areas.

Fortunately, soul beasts and humans had already joined forces at the time.

Thus, after a discussion between humans and soul beasts, many remaining soul beasts with special strength began to come to the Soul Earth to repair the shattered space within.

It was as if they were patching up the world.

As time passed, the shattered space of the Soul Earth was gradually repaired, forming a unique terrain.

As for the soul beasts that used up their lives, they fell into a long slumber because of this and could only rest in the Soul Earth.

At the same time, they could suppress these Soul Earths to prevent any accidents from happening.

However, that history was too far away.

As the modern world steadily developed, the ancient soul beasts that had once lived in the Soul Earth had been sleeping for too long.

They were all existences from thousands of years ago.

Although humans had records of them, in order to not disturb the long sleep of these soul beasts, and also to prevent any accidents from happening to the Soul Earth, only a small number of special people knew this information.

The reason was actually very simple.

Although the space of the Soul Earth had been repaired, the violent soul power would gradually make the soul beasts lose control.

The more powerful a soul beast was, the smaller the impact.

However, as time passed, even soul beasts that had reached a hundred thousand years would be affected.

Once it was affected, it would be too dangerous.

This was also why those soul beasts chose to hibernate after repairing the Soul Earth.

They had repaired the place for too long and had been affected. Their soul had been corroded and their consciousness was blurry. Once they left, they might cause damage to the world.

Sealing their soul was the best choice.

Once they woke up and lost consciousness, it would be even more dangerous.

A hundred thousand year soul beast was no joke.

The seven great war zones of the Federation gradually sealed off this news in order to prevent anyone with evil intentions from using this matter to destroy the Soul Earth and wake up these soul beasts.

Adjutant Li was guarding the border and was the only one who knew of this matter.

Hearing the blind old man’s voice transmission, he was stunned.

He did not expect this.

“But it’s not that simple to awaken a hundred thousand-year soul beast, right?” Adjutant Li asked softly.

He knew that on the human side, there had actually been a Heavenly King-ranked expert who had been secretly sending mental communication with these soul beasts that had been living in the various large Soul Earths for thousands of years.

However, the response was minimal.

It was basically determined that these soul beasts had already lost consciousness.

After sleeping for a long time, it was difficult to wake up.

Therefore, humans faced a huge problem.

This was because there was no way to save these powerful soul beasts whose souls had already been corroded.

In addition, if they wanted to seal off a place like the Soul Earth, they could only seal it forcefully. The Soul Earth was rich in resources, and after sealing it, it would have a huge impact on humans.

Under such circumstances, if they directly mobilized the top human forces and killed these soul beasts while ensuring the safety of the Soul Earth,

it was possible.

However, these soul beasts had all sacrificed themselves to repair the Soul Earth.

How could they be killed?

Humans could not convince themselves on the moral and biological level.

But if they did not kill them, it would be a time bomb again.

No one knew when they would suddenly awaken. It would definitely be a disaster.

Among the seven great war zones of the Federation, some supported it, and some opposed it.

It was impossible to form a uniform tone.

It was put on hold until now.

They could only try their best to seal the news.

They tried not to interfere.

As long as they did not interfere, these soul beasts would not wake up. Moreover, they did not have much lifespan. When they reached the end of their lifespan, they would naturally die.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be able to interfere.

The Soul Earth was dangerous to begin with. The higher one went, the more difficult it became.

When students and Contract Soul Masters entered the Soul Earth to explore, they were all exploring the middle and lower levels below a thousand meters, while the sleeping soul beasts were at the top or deepest parts.

Ordinary Contract Soul Masters could not even enter the upper level to explore, much less the top level.

Contract Soul Masters who could enter the top level of the Soul Earth were all extremely powerful. They basically knew about this matter and were even less likely to interfere.

Thus… it was extremely difficult to awaken these slumbering ancient soul beasts.

“It’s very difficult,” the blind old man muttered, “but if we enter the middle and upper levels and detonate this Life Origin Stone, the huge amount of life force will cause a violent upheaval in the Soul Earth. If a considerable number of Life Origin Stones explode, with my judgment, there’s a high chance that it will reach the Sky God Dragon at the top.”

“Once it awakens, the Floating Forest will definitely be destroyed.”

“At that time, the cities around the Floating Forest will be destroyed!”

“The goal of those Ghost Disciples was not those students at all! That was just a cover!”

“Their ultimate goal is to awaken that divine dragon!”

“I’ve confirmed the news now. We cannot allow this to happen!”

“I’ll go in first. Adjutant Li, contact the higher-ups and explain this matter clearly. To prevent any accidents, it’s best to send a Heavenly King…”

The blind old man took a light step and a black soul ring appeared. A loud and clear cry sounded from the black soul ring.

Two pairs of scarlet energy wings suddenly appeared on his back, emitting brilliant lights.

His entire body transformed into a meteor that flew towards the Soul Earth…
