Ji Fengyan fell at such a rapid speed that none of the others could rush to her aid in time.
She landed with a crash straight through the broken pile of rocks in the groove…
A cloud of dust and dirt swirled up. It stunned all who witnessed her fall. They wanted to go help her but the demons were already gradually recovering. The Holy Cascade spell cast upon the capital institute was losing its power source and slowly fading off. As the golden light became weaker, the restraining force on the demons was also dissipating. Without the painful suppression, the demons stirred once again.
Seeing the reviving demon army, everyone felt like they had been plunged into an icy pit.
Inside the capital institute, students were desperately fighting off the attacking demons, maintaining their final shred of dignity as human beings.


Meanwhile, several cowards were hiding trembling inside the structures.
Xi Sinong’s pale face took on a look of utter despair as he witnessed Ji Fengyan’s fall. The school of gold cultivators had been destroyed and they had sequestered him inside a relatively safe structure with a bunch of useless cowards.

Why are we not fighting?
Xi Sinong looked at the bunch of physically healthy and combat-able youths with a pained expression.
They did not respond but just huddled in a corner shivering.
Suddenly…
A demon seemed to detect the human scent in that room and paced back and forth outside.
This movement terrified everyone in the room.

Die… we will all die… this is too scary…
A petrified youth covered his head as he heard the demon’s scraping footsteps outside.

We cannot let it continue lingering here. We need to make it go away…
A few youths looked over at Xi Sinong as they discussed their next course of action.
Before Xi Sinong even knew what was happening, someone covered his mouth and he was bundled up.


The windows were flung open and his entire persons tossed out…
Right up till the moment before they threw him out, Xi Sinong could clearly see the selfish and cruel expressions on those few youths.
The demon outside the room heard the commotion and turned toward it.
It was a level-three lion head beast. It had a huge lion’s head and the body of a horse. A long, crimson-red tongue dangled out the side of its mouth, while its hideous eyes stared at Xi Sinong’s immobile body.
Xi Sinong practically stopped breathing.

Let… let me in…
His survival instincts kicked in and he pounded the shut windows desperately.
Through the windowpane, he could see those ugly, evil faces. They seem to be saying…
It was you who wanted to fight. Go lure that demon away then.

Xi Sinong was dumbstruck by those faces. He felt an intense pain at the back of his neck as the demon bit him. That frail, weak body was dragged off into a dark corner by that demon…
In the face of death, it unleashed the vileness in the hearts of some for all to see.


The youths who had personally tossed out Xi Sinong watched as he was dragged to his death by the demon. They witnessed the scene with cold eyes, their hearts only feeling a sense of relief as the demon departed.
But…
Those youths never expected that when they opened the window earlier, their scent had been carried off. More demons surrounded that room now, having been attracted by that human smell…
As the main door was busted open, they left only a piteous wailing in that wretched corner.
