This was simply good news for Ron, who had been disappointed. Perhaps Balu, who had died earlier, was not a clansman of the Nicholas family whom he had been looking for, or perhaps there were other Nicholas family members here besides Balu Nicholas.
Regardless of which possibility it was, it was good to not return empty-handed. He might even be able to find more than one clansman.
Moreover, there was no way to verify the identity of the dead Balu. Instead, there was a change in the Bloodline Sensing Talisman, which meant that there must be some clansmen of the Nicholas family nearby.
Ron did not want to wait a minute. Afraid that something like what had happened earlier would happen, he instantly changed the direction of his flight and advanced toward the target.
As there was also a large group of demon beasts there, Ron did not want to waste any more time. If another clansman were lost because of him, he would not have the face to go back and report to the Old Ancestor.
“Ower, what are you doing? Do you know that what you have done is making our Spirit Ribbon Academy your enemy?” A young man in purple clothes asked a person in front of him with a cold expression.
Around this young man were many people wearing the same clothes as him. These people were all disciples of the Spirit Ribbon Academy.
The person who was talking to the young man was a man in luxurious clothes. His tone had a certain sarcasm. “Brother, you must be joking. I’m very close to your Spirit Ribbon Academy. How can you say that I’m your enemy? The person I want to deal with is not someone from your Spirit Ribbon Academy.”
He looked at the person in the cave behind the young man and said, “Dick, have I not told you before that if you dare to take a step out of the Walls Village, your life will be in danger. If you come out obediently now, I might be merciful and let you live, but if you still don’t come out, not only will you lose your life, you will also implicate everyone in the Spirit Ribbon Academy.”
With that said, he looked a little smugly at the disciples of the Spirit Ribbon Academy. “But let me put this bluntly. Although I won’t attack them, when the large number of demon beasts arrive later, I can’t guarantee that they can escape.”
As soon as the man’s voice fell, a large number of demonic beasts appeared, but a group of people were blocking them. Leading them was an old man in yellow clothes. He was at level-2 of the Divine Power Realm, and the rest were all above level-7 of the Innate Realm.
The old man in yellow was currently engaged in an intense battle with a level-5 demon beast. For a while, it was difficult to determine the victor. The remaining few people were all dealing with the level-5 demon beast.
And these people had all been brought here by Ower.
However, the situation of the Spirit Ribbon Academy disciples was completely different. The highest level among them was only at level-8 of the Innate Realm. The remaining five were of the Innate Realm, and the other two were only of the Physical Body Realm.
Apart from the six disciples of the Spirit Ribbon Academy, the young man in the cave was the store assistant from the Spirit Dragon Treasure Pavilion, Dick.
Currently, Dick was in a very bad condition. His face was pale, and there was a lot of blood on his body. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured.
Beside Dick were two female disciples from the Spirit Ribbon Academy. They were the two who had begged Dick for help in the store earlier. It seemed that Dick had agreed to the request of the two female disciples and had come to the Black Forest.
The words Ower had said earlier had made the two female disciples very angry. “Ower, you’ve gone too far. Now that you’ve already expelled Senior Brother Dick from the sect, what else do you want? He can no longer use one of his arms now, and he won’t be able to refine weapons in his lifetime. What else do you want? Back then, it was clearly you…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Dick. “Don’t say anymore. It’s all in the past.” Then Dick said to the group of Spirit Ribbon Academy disciples, “You guys go first. A large number of demon beasts will be coming soon. It’s too dangerous. Go quickly.”
“Senior Brother Dick, if we leave, we leave together.” One of the female disciples said.
“That’s right, we were the ones who pulled you here. We can’t leave you here. Let’s leave together,” said another female disciple.
“Let’s protect Senior Brother Dick together and then walk out of this Black Forest,” the two female disciples said. At the same time, they looked at Ower. “Currently, Dick is no longer a disciple of the Spirit Ribbon Academy. Moreover, he has come out purely because we asked him for help. The feud between the two of you had already been resolved back then. Why are you still hanging onto this matter?”
Clearly, Ower did not heed these words. He sneered and said, “I’ve already said that this is between me and him. There’s no need for outsiders like you all to intervene, but if all of you insist on intervening, there won’t be a good outcome.”
After he had finished speaking, Ower ordered the two subordinates beside him in a low voice. The two subordinates immediately stopped in the midst of their battle, and a gap instantly appeared in the defensive line. The demon beasts instantly charged toward where the Spirit Ribbon Academy disciples were.
“Everyone, leave quickly.” The disciple with the highest level quickly let the other disciples go first. He held a magical sword and started an intense battle with the demon beasts.
As a disciple of the Spirit Ribbon Academy, although he was only of the Innate Realm, he was holding a mid-grade flying sword magical weapon in his hand.
He was not the only one. The magical weapons held by all the disciples beside him were also not inferior.
At the same time, Dick who was surrounded in the middle by everyone charged toward the periphery.
Ower looked at everyone who was fighting with the demon beasts in satisfaction. He then gave a snort. Thereafter, he found the right time, took out a magical sword, and stabbed it at Dick.
Ower’s behavior was very dishonest, causing all the disciples of the Spirit Ribbon Academy to fail to react in time to stop him. “Senior Brother Dick, be careful.”
The female disciple wanted to go up and stop him, but she was repelled by the light waves generated by the sword. She could only watch helplessly as the sword stabbed at Dick’s chest.
At this critical moment, a sword chime suddenly sounded in the air, and a red light instantly appeared in the sky. Just as the sword was about to stab at Dick, it was bounced off. Ower’s sword instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Everyone was shocked. They looked into the sky and wanted to know who had done this, and they found that the other party was holding a high-grade flying sword.
A person flew down from the sky and landed in front of Dick and the Spirit Ribbon Academy disciples.
The other disciples of the Spirit Ribbon Academy were still in shock and could not recover. After a long while, Dick finally reacted. “Aren’t you the young master we met in the shop earlier? Is it you?” Dick asked.
