C928 They Were Trapped

However, Lee Zhuohua had already seen through his thoughts. His expression did not change at all, and he did not say anything. He just stared at Nie Tingcong quietly, making him feel uneasy.

Nie Tingcong originally wanted to get away with it, but when he saw Lee Zhuohua's gaze, he knew that if he didn't tell the truth now, he wouldn't be able to leave safely.

Now, he began to regret in his heart. Why did he go and get that beast skin back then?

"I'll tell you." Nie Tingcong could not withstand the pressure of Lee Zhuohua's aura and was defeated in the end.

"I picked up this piece of beast skin on the way back to the academy." Nie Tingcong said honestly.

"Picked it up? You didn't lie to me? "When Lee Zhuohua heard the other party's reply, he was stunned for a moment. This answer surprised him a little, and he frowned as he said.

"'I didn't lie to you, I really did pick it up. It was fifty miles away from our Institute, on my way back to the Institute, and then I saw a piece of hide on the road, so I picked it up. I don't know who you're talking about." Nie Tingcong didn't dare to hide anything from Lee Zhuohua, so he told him everything.

Seeing Nie Tingcong's reaction, Lee Zhuohua knew that he wasn't lying. It seemed like something had happened to those people from the Great Sage Academy on the way back to the State of Yan.

He had accidentally dropped the Cloud Leopard's hide and was then picked up by the man in front of him. But what had happened to those people?

"I don't want this piece of beast skin anymore. Take it. Can you let me go?" Nie Tingcong directly handed the beast skin to Lee Zhuohua and pleaded.

"You can go." Lee Zhuohua nodded. Nie Tingcong scrambled away as he ran away. It was because the pressure he faced in front of Lee Zhuohua was too great, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, he was only a Dou Shi while Lee Zhuohua was equivalent to an An Elite Dou Zong. The gap between the two of them was too great.

After taking the Cloud Leopard's beast skin, Lee Zhuohua began to carefully examine it.

"Hmm?" At this moment, he discovered that there was something special about this piece of beast skin.

This piece of beast skin had a layer, and in the layer, there was a piece of paper and a key.

Lee Zhuohua sensed the key and found that it was just a key made of ordinary material. There was nothing special about it, so he focused his attention on the piece of paper.

He opened the paper and found some words inside. Judging from the ink, it seemed to have been written for a few days. Lee Zhuohua focused his eyes and continued reading.

"We're at the peak of the Cloud Peak, save us ..." There were only a few words written on the paper. It seemed to have been written in a hurry, and Liu Zhuohua was even more certain that something had happened to the people of the Great Sage Academy.

However, the people of the Great Sage Academy were all Dou Shi. Logically speaking, no one should be able to make things difficult for them, unless it was Dou Wang.

Thinking of this, Lee Zhuohua narrowed his eyes as he tried to guess who it was.

However, the matter should not be delayed. After finding out the location of the people from the Great Sage Academy, Lee Zhuohua planned to head over.

Just as he was about to leave the Yunlan Academy, he bumped into Gu Canghai, who had just gotten away from the alchemist.

Because Gu Canghai was also an alchemist, he was pulled over to the other two alchemists, who only introduced him to each other. After all, they would all be alchemists from the same academy in the future.

However, alchemists were all very arrogant. When they heard that there would be a new alchemist, they would start to ask Gu Canghai about alchemy, but Gu Canghai's true level was that of a level 6 alchemist.

Thus, his insight into alchemy quickly shocked the two of them, followed by a series of fawning, wanting to learn more about alchemy from Gu Canghai.

In the end, Gu Canghai had to spend a lot of effort to successfully escape, but now that he saw Lee Zhuohua leaving the Yunlan Academy, he became curious.

"Where are you going?" Gu Canghai asked curiously.

"A few of my friends have run into some trouble. Go and give them a hand." Lee Zhuohua did not hide anything from Gu Canghai and said.

"Do you need any help?" Gu Canghai thought that Lee Zhuohua's friend must be someone of the same level as them, so he said.

"No need." Lee Zhuohua shook his head with a smile.

However, Gu Canghai was puzzled when he saw the Cloud Leopard's hide in Lee Zhuohua's hand.

"Isn't this my pet?" Gu Canghai said with a puzzled expression.

"Yes." Lee Zhuohua also thought of this and nodded.

"Are your friends here when you killed my pet?" Gu Canghai asked subconsciously.

"It's just a few friends, because the target of their mission is your pet. I was just helping them along the way." Lee Zhuohua said with a smile.

Hearing what Lee Zhuohua said, Gu Canghai's face immediately darkened. At the beginning, Lee Zhuohua had told him that his pet was the one who attacked first, so the other party attacked him. But now, his words were different. Gu Canghai was not stupid either. He immediately understood what was going on.

However, he was not angry with Lee Zhuohua because of a beast. At the same time, he deduced from Lee Zhuohua's words that the other party's friends might only be some young people. At most, they would only be in the realm of Dou Shi.

This made Gu Canghai even more puzzled. How could Lee Zhuohua have such a friend, but he would not ask Lee Zhuohua. After all, this was a personal matter.

"Then, are you going?" Gu Canghai asked out of curiosity where Lee Zhuohua was going.

"Mountain Cloud Top, this is the place written on the letter of help they left behind." Speaking up to this point, Lee Zhuohua frowned.

He only knew that those from the Great Sage Academy were on the Cloud Apex Mountain, but he did not know where they were specifically, so it was very troublesome to find them.

"The Cloud Apex Mountain? That place is quite large. How are you going to find it?" Gu Canghai also frowned when he heard this. He had been to the Cloud Apex Mountain before and knew what was going on there. However, if they wanted to find someone on the Cloud Apex Mountain, even An Elite Dou Zong would be very troublesome.

"The core of my pet should also be in the hands of your friends, right?" Gu Canghai suddenly asked.

Hearing Gu Canghai's question, Lee Zhuohua turned his head and looked over.

"It's in their hands. What do you mean?" Lee Zhuohua asked doubtfully. He felt that the other party had a way to help him find those people.

"That makes things easier. I left some marks in the beast's core when I took it, so I can find it. If you don't know the exact location of your friends, I can find them for you." Gu Canghai said.

"That's great." When Lee Zhuohua heard this, his expression immediately changed.

"Since that's the case, there's no time to lose. Come with me." Lee Zhuohua did not hesitate and said to Gu Canghai.

"Alright." Gu Canghai nodded.

After that, the two of them left the Yunlan Academy and headed towards Mount Cloud Top.
