Nangong Xu was just beginning to find it strange why Ning Rui was saying such things when he suddenly detected a strong and intense wave of murderous aura from behind him. Nangong Xu immediately wanted to turn around to face the threat, but before he had even moved, he saw that a long slender arm had pierced through his chest from his back!

A bright red flower seemed to have bloomed out from Nangong Xu's chest as he stared through his eyes, wide open with shock, looking at the still laughing Ning Rui.

"Nangong Xu, why must you be so meddlesome?" The smile on Ning Rui's face twisted up grotesquely as he lifted his head to look at the person who had stealthily attacked Nangong Xu from behind.

The corners of Gu Ying's mouth were curled up, his face filled with glee. He retrieved the hand that had pierced through Nangong Xu's body and the warm blood droplets flowed down his arm, dripping into a small scarlet pool that formed on the floor!

Nangong Xu fell suddenly to the floor and blood was gushing out from his mouth as his eyes stared at Gu Ying who was smiling brilliantly at him.

"People who know too much would always not get to live long. Don't you agree? Senior Nangong?" Gu Ying asked, smiling at Nangong Xu, watching him breathe his last. Gu Ying then lifted his head and looked at his blood covered arm, the corners of his mouth curling up higher. He turned to face Ning Rui.

"I had not thought that anyone in the Zephyr Academy would be able to recognise the way to the Heaven's End Cliff. Looks like the matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Ning Rui nodded his head. The fact that Nangong Xu had known of the Heaven's End Cliff greatly surprised Ning Rui and to prevent anyone else from discovering it, Ning Rui had no other choice but to reply: "I will make an announcement immediately. That all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy are to move out right away."

Gu Ying nodded his head, satisfied with the answer.

"They should be arriving soon. They should be able to make it here before we move out."

Using the disciples of the Zephyr Academy was just one of the avenues they were taking to explore the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff. Gu Ying knew it clearly, with just a bunch of young immature kids, it would be sorely inadequate to fully grasp the terrain down there and he had arranged for more people from his side to go with him, but the task of scouting the way out first would be wholly taken up by the Zephyr Academy's disciples.

Gu Ying's intention for this expedition, was to use the lives of the many disciples in the Zephyr Academy at his disposal, to slowly find his way through the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff!

Ning Rui nodded and immediately summoned Gongcheng Lei who was standing guard outside to relay the message. Nangong Xu's eyes were still wide open, probably shocked even till his moment of death, not expecting that he would be killed under the hands of a youth just in his teens.

The set off time had suddenly been brought forward and many of the Zephyr Academy's disciples started complaining in hushed tones. In the face of Ning Rui's current authoritarian ways, not a single one among them dared to voice out their displeasure. In about four hours' time, all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy were all packed and gathered in the square before the Zephyr Academy's gates. As they stared at the row upon row of horse carriages, the youths saw that their journey towards a grueling training expedition was about to begin.

Ning Rui had already arranged his men to wait by the main gates, and they were just waiting for the teachers from the respective faculties to complete their roll call and they would move out immediately after that.
