Qing Buli couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "The entire competition took place under everyone's supervision. Everyone can see that. Don't try to slander my academy!"
Xu Daozi's eyes were cold. "Only you know whether it's slander or not! Not a single person from Heaven Consort Academy has died, all of the surveillance arrays have failed, and there's been no response from the five people we sent. Would you believe us if we said there was no problem? "
The discussion grew even louder, all of them expressing their doubts.
Everyone from Heaven Consort Academy wore unsightly expressions. If it was proven that something had been done, the academy would become the target of public criticism and the situation would spiral out of control.
Qing Buli said solemnly, "First, the competition's process and location were all agreed upon with everyone. This old man did not act arbitrarily. Second, all of the casualties occurred under everyone's supervision. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Third, we don't know the cause of the array's destruction. This old man also organized five people to investigate. As for the current situation, just like everyone else, I have no idea. Fourth, now that an accident has occurred, our top priority is to find out the cause and ensure the safety of the participating students. I hope that everyone can offer suggestions and solve this urgent problem together, instead of creating something out of nothing and muddying the situation so that you can fish in troubled waters. "
Qing Buli's words were clear and logical. Many people nodded in agreement.
Xu Daozi's expression changed drastically. "Qing Buli, who are you saying is trying to fish in muddied waters? Almost everyone from my academy is dead, yet you're saying I'm trying to fish in muddied waters? "
Qing Buli didn't hold back. "Our top priority is to find out the cause, not make groundless accusations. Everyone will know who's trying to mess things up."
Ding Yuan added, "Brother Xu, Qing Buli's words make sense. Our top priority is to find out the cause and protect the participating students. We'll make a decision after the matter is clear. If Heaven Consort Academy really is up to something, I'm sure they won't be able to get through this. "
The others nodded in agreement with Ding Yuan's words.
Xu Daozi said, "Alright, then we'll put this matter aside for Brother Ding Yuan's sake. We'll make a decision after we find out the cause. However, before we find out the cause of this matter, I believe that Heaven Consort Academy is no longer fit to take on the leadership role. "
"Daoist Xu, what is the meaning of this?" Qing Buli was furious.
Xu Daozi sneered, "In order to avoid arousing suspicion, it's better to nominate someone else to preside over the entire situation. If you don't have a guilty conscience, then there's nothing to be afraid of. "
Qing Bu Li thought for a while, then glanced at Su Yu and exchanged glances with the other elders. "Alright, then we'll do as you say. We'll nominate another person to preside over this situation. But I wonder who is suitable?"
Everyone in the palace was silent. At this moment, the situation was out of control. Whoever took charge of this matter would be taking on a thankless task.
Xu Daozi looked around and said, "If no one is willing to come out, then this old man is willing to recommend himself. What do you think?"
Ding Yuan said, "Since Brother Xu is willing to host, we are naturally happy to do so."
The people from the other three academies also had no objections.
Qing Buli said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. If there's anything you need, just let me know."
Xu Daozi raised his head. "Since no one has any objections, then this old man will boldly preside this time. Our top priority is to get to the bottom of this matter and protect the participants from harm. "
Wasn't that what Qing Buli said just now? the crowd thought.
However, they still nodded in agreement.
Xu Daozi continued, "That's why I think we should organize another group of experts to go to Frontline and get to the bottom of this matter."
Qing Buli said, "That is indeed necessary, but who should we organize?"
Xu Daozi said, "Previously, we sent five cultivators of the Origin Martial Arts Realm, but there was no reply. I suggest we send at least fifteen cultivators of the Origin Martial Arts Realm this time."
"Fifteen!"
Everyone in the palace was shocked. One had to know that this number was almost the strength of an entire nation.
Qing Buli frowned. "Isn't Brother Xu being a bit whimsical?"
Xu Daozi stared at him and sneered. "How could I be whimsical? This is Cangnan Nation. Cangnan Nation will send five, and our four nations will send ten. This way, we can get to the bottom of this matter and ensure everyone's safety. "
The people of the various academies discussed animatedly. According to Xu Daozi's arrangement, almost all of their origin realm experts would take action.
Qing Buli was in a difficult position. Lu Jiangpeng and Jiang Yi were still in seclusion, and Qi Yi was guarding the library and couldn't leave. Only he, Yi Kun, Wu Hao, and You Ye were left.
Qing Buli looked at Su Yu for his opinion.
Su Yu said, "Since Principal Xu is presiding over this matter, we must cooperate fully. Elders Yi Kun and Wu Hao, as well as the three lords of the Hall of Worship, will join us. "
There were several origin realm experts in the Hall of Worship, a powerful force directly under the emperor. They didn't need to do anything other than take offerings. They would only take action if the emperor gave the order.
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, five elders appeared in front of the palace. They were dressed differently and seemed a bit undisciplined.
Su Yu pointed out three of them, including Yi Kun and Wu Hao.
The other four academies whispered to each other and quickly gathered ten people. Xu Daozi would lead a team of fifteen.
Qing Buli said, "Brother Xu, please."
Xu Daozi said, "Don't worry, this old man will get to the bottom of this matter."
He immediately opened the transportation formation in the palace to send the fifteen people over. However, he was shocked to find that no matter how he operated the formation, there was no reaction.
Everyone in the palace paled. Qing Buli sucked in a cold breath. "Someone destroyed the other end of the formation!"
Everyone's hands and feet turned cold. They knew that something had gone wrong.
Xu Daozi shouted, "Then we'll send them to the Voidless Mountain Range at random. We'll meet near the crack in the sky."
That was all they could do now. Qing Buli's expression was grave. He immediately opened the formation and set the location near the Voidless Mountain Range.
With the strength of the ten origin realm cultivators, it would take them less than half a day to meet up again. However, if they flew over from Tiancong Academy, it would take at least three days. There was no way they could make it in time.
The fifteen people stepped into the formation and all disappeared under a dazzling light.
The hall became abnormally quiet.
The five academies each left one or two origin realm cultivators behind. They all looked grave and felt an unprecedented pressure. It was as if they smelled a great conspiracy.
Yunchuan Academy of Shang Chi only left two origin realm cultivators, Ye Tao and Wan Fei.
Ye Tao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Wu Of Gojoseon, I suddenly remembered something. I heard that something big happened in your country five years ago?"
The hall instantly fell into silence.
Among the origin realm cultivators present, only Di Hui remained from Shuiqi Academy, Du Zhengzhen from Warrior Academy, and Ding Yuan from Haoran Academy.
Apart from Di Hui, who was still smiling, Du Zhengzhen and Ding Yuan's hearts skipped a beat. They seemed to have sensed something.
The people of Cangnan Country were even more shocked. What happened five years ago was completely taboo in Cangnan Country.
Su Yu was furious. "Ye Tao, what do you mean by this?!"
Ye Tao sneered, stood up, and said, "This matter started twenty-five years ago …"
