<h4>Chapter 1610: Chapter 1609: Death’s Absolute Territory</h4>


    After receiving the news, Su Yang immediately rushed to Qinghe Academy.


    In fact, this news had already reached Su Yang a day earlier, but at that time, Su Yang was still in closed-door training, inside the World Fusion Furnace, unable to know the outside news.


    In reality, while Su Yang spent more than ten days inside the World Fusion Furnace, only a day had passed outside.


    Upon reaching Qinghe Academy, Su Yang discovered that half of the people at the academy were already gone. The remaining people had packed their belongings, seemingly ready to depart.


    The headmaster was still at Qinghe Academy, so Su Yang went directly to see him.


    "What happened?" Su Yang asked.


    Seeing Su Yang arrive, the headmaster also breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally finished your training; I was worried you wouldn’t make it in time. Recently, the Heavenly Court has made significant moves; most of them have gone to a Death Zone. Even 70% of the Law Enforcers have gone with them. I suspect this has been in their ns for a long time!"


    "Death Zone?" Su Yang was surprised: "What Death Zone?"


    "I told you before, the Nine Realms were originally connected, but an event in the Ancient Times caused them to split apart." The headmaster said, "During that event in the Ancient Times, some areas were left behind where no one could return alive. Even some ancient Divine Beasts that entered couldn’te out. In ancient times, when other Eight Realms found the entrance to the Human Realm, they initially sent many people into these areas, but none survived. These areas are called Death Zones!"


    "From ancient times until now, there have been a total of three major Death Zones, which conveniently are all in the Human Realm. Now, the ce the Heavenly Court intends to go is one particrly terrifying Death Zone called Storm Valley. It’s a valley where year-round storms rage, like the flying swords and knives of Terrestrial Immortals. Even mighty Terrestrial Immortals entering would be torn apart, leaving their souls annihted, incredibly horrifying."


    Su Yang had never known about these matters before and was shocked to hear the headmaster’s words. The Human Realm truly holds many secrets. These things aren’t even recorded in the Destiny’s Tome, proving just how mysterious they are.


    "What about the other two Death Zones?" Su Yang asked.


    "One is called Feather Spirit Pce, and the other is Demon Abyss." The headmaster paused and said, "Feather Spirit Pce is still somewhat approachable, but never get close to Demon Abyss. The terror of Demon Abyss is beyond imagination. Once, the rulers of two worlds, the strongest figures in those worlds, tried to approach Demon Abyss to see what was inside. But upon nearing Demon Abyss, they were crushed by its pressure, turning to ashes, utterly terrifying!"


    "Ah?" Su Yang widened his eyes; who could expect such terrifying ces in this world?


    "For this reason, several great figures from ancient times joined forces to ce a restriction near Demon Abyss, sealing itpletely. Thus, outsiders cannot approach Demon Abyss, effectively isting that entire space." The headmaster said, "Otherwise, the Human Realm would be even more unstable!"


    Su Yang nodded slowly. If Demon Abyss hadn’t been sealed, who knows what chaos the world would descend into. Just its existence is something many cannot ept.


    "For so many years, the Heavenly Court has been making small moves, always probing these two major Death Zones. This time choosing Storm Valley, they seem to be nning something significant, and we must follow to see what they’re up to!" The headmaster paused and said solemnly, "I’ve also contacted some other masters because too many people are involved this time. If anything particrly unusual happens, a war might break out directly. So, during this period, the Capital City will probably be without the protection of Qinghe Academy!"


    Su Yang’s brows furrowed, he finally understood why the headmaster sought him out; he was trying to caution him about safety. Although the headmaster spoke indirectly, Su Yang understood. He was taking not just people from Qinghe Academy, but also from the Six Great Sects, and some recruited Terrestrial Immortals. In short, they were going all out this time.


    "What about the Four Great Sects?" Su Yang asked.


    "The problem lies here!" The headmaster said solemnly: "The Four Great Sects didn’t set out with the Heavenly Court."


    Su Yang frowned deeply, sensing a serious problem.


    The Four Great Sects not acting with the Heavenly Court, given their grievances with Su Yang, would surely choose this moment to deal with him. Without the protection of Qinghe Academy, Su Yang would have no means to resist the Four Great Sects, making it extremely dangerous.


    "Su Yang, if need be, you cane with us to Storm Valley!" The headmaster said solemnly: "We can specifically protect you!"


    Although Su Yang didn’t know the situation in Storm Valley, based on the headmaster’s suggestion, he understood that he currentlycked the ability to approach it. If he followed them, he would surely be a burden and distract them from their main goal.


    Facing the Heavenly Court was already stretching their strength thin in the Human Realm. If they had to further distract to protect Su Yang, the danger would increase even more.


    Understanding this, Su Yang shook his head directly: "No need, I’ll temporarily hide during this time. It’s not that easy for the Four Great Sects to find me!"


    The headmaster didn’t know about the World Fusion Furnace, but reflecting on Su Yang’s mysterious situation during training, he didn’t ask further. Given Su Yang’s confident response, he surely had his own method.


    "In that case, we’re set to depart!" The headmaster nodded to Su Yang: "During this period, you must be extremely cautious and stay safe!"


    Su Yang nodded, understanding theplexity of the situation. The Heavenly Court’s move to Storm Valley is undoubtedly purposeful. Moreover, the Four Great Sects staying behind also has intentions. Su Yang will definitely be their primary target, so he must remain extremely vignt.


    Otherwise, if captured by the Four Great Sects, Su Yang would be in real danger. With the Four Great Sects’ nature, falling into their hands would make even death a difficult wish to fulfill.


    As for the Law Enforcers, Su Yang didn’t factor them into his calctions. With the Heavenly Court making big moves, there’s no hope for the Law Enforcers to rescue him. If the Law Enforcers don’t assist the Four Great Sects, that itself would be of great help to Su Yang.
