Lin Chong was the captain of the Law Enforcement Squad. At this moment, he was leading a group of over ten people in a leisurely stroll within the Royal Capital. Lin Chong's heart was filled with thoughts.
He was well aware of the current situation in the Imperial City. He was even forced to participate in it. The incident in the restaurant was planned by the higher-ups who ordered him to cooperate with the people from the Royal School. In fact, Lin Chong was not very willing to participate in it, but he could not disobey the orders from the higher-ups.
Hence, at this moment, he was filled with worry. He was worried that the Emperor Star Academy would take revenge on him. Tomorrow, he would report this to the Royal Academy and see if he could change his position.
"Bzzz." Abruptly, a sharp aura gushed forth, causing Lin Chong's eyes to narrow. After which, he saw numerous arrows descending from the Heavens. These arrows shimmered with resplendent Astral Light, evidently formed from the condensation of Astral Energy.
Lin Chong released his Astral Souls, as the aura of an 8th level Arterial Circulation Realm cultivator gushed forth. He blasted out a palm imprint towards the incoming arrows, but it was as though the arrows had eyes of their own. They actually bypassed his body and pierced towards the ordinary soldiers behind him.
Piercing sounds rang out unceasingly as the arrows pierced through their throats. Lin Chong's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
Who would have thought that revenge would come so quickly?
An instant later, a sharp sword pierced through Lin Chong's throat. His body slumped to the ground, as did the rest of the soldiers. Blood flowed from their throats, dying the ground red.
From afar, there were people approaching, and upon discovering the state of death of these soldiers, their hearts pounded wildly. Was the storm finally about to engulf the Royal Capital?
Ji Qing was a Law Enforcement Elder of the Royal Academy. His cultivation base was at the 3rd level of Yuanfu, and his combat prowess was extremely tyrannical. At this moment, he was walking within the Royal Academy with a frown on his face.
Currently, the atmosphere in the Royal Academy was extremely tense. Everyone knew that a war with the Emperor Star Academy would erupt at any moment. Not only that, the scale of the war would be unprecedented, because the Royal Academy wanted to eradicate the Emperor Star Academy.
"Elder Ji." Occasionally, there would be people bowing to Ji Qing. Ji Qing casually replied, but in his heart, he was deep in thought.
"Elder Ji." Another person bowed to Ji Qing.
"Mhm." But at this moment, Ji Qing suddenly felt an intense sense of danger. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
The person who had bowed to Ji Qing instantly closed in on him. The distance between the two of them was too close, and Ji Qing had not expected someone to attack him in the Royal School. He could not react in time.
Terrifying starlight circulated around Ji Qing's body. Starlight armor seemed to have appeared around him, and he could only focus on defense.
"Puchi!" A sharp blade pierced through his armor as a terrifying black sword pierced through his heart. After that, the sword started to churn wildly as a destructive power erupted within his body, destroying his life force. Ji Qing saw a pair of cold eyes staring at him. The owner of those eyes was like a god of death, staring at him emotionlessly.
Even if he was caught off guard, a 3rd level Yuanfu cultivator like Ji Qing wouldn't be assassinated so easily. There was only one reason why the assassin could do this. The strength of the assassin was far above his own.
The spectators from afar cast their gazes over, only to see the figure slowly walking away. Only then did Ji Qing's body slowly collapse onto the ground. The hearts of the spectators pounded violently as their countenances became exaggerated. When they turned their gazes to that unremarkable silhouette, they discovered that the assassin had already disappeared from their line of sight.
"Someone tried to assassinate Elder Ji Qing." A roar rang out, igniting the already tense atmosphere in the Royal Academy. An instant later, several silhouettes appeared beside Ji Qing's corpse.
"Lock down the Royal Academy." Someone roared in rage.
"There's no need for that. Since the assassin could easily sneak in and kill Ji Qing in an instant, he would definitely be able to leave easily." A person spoke in a low voice, causing the crowd to turn silent.
Ji Qing was none other than the Disciplinary Elder who had crippled a student of the Emperor Star Academy. Who was the one behind this, and who had the power to do so?
The Emperor Star Academy didn't take the initiative to make a move, but rather, used the most direct method to respond. If the Royal Academy liked to use such underhanded methods, the Emperor Star Academy was willing to play along.
Blood for blood, a tooth for a tooth.
As the news of Lin Chong and Ji Qing's deaths spread out, the tension in the Royal Academy was on the verge of exploding.
Finally, one morning, from the direction of the Royal Academy, several experts mounted demonic beasts as they departed. On the ground, there was also a vast crowd of people following behind them as they headed in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy.
The Emperor Star Academy quickly received the news. With regards to the actions of the Royal Academy, they naturally had their eyes on it.
Not long after the experts from the Royal Academy departed, the howls of demonic beasts could be heard from the Emperor Star Academy. At the same time, on the ground, there were also people who departed.
At the same time, the Ye Clan, Ou Clan, as well as the other aristocratic clans, also departed.
Such a storm quickly engulfed the entire Royal Capital. Currently, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the Emperor Star Academy and the Royal Academy. Each and every action of theirs was the focus of attention.
Today, the two academies no longer played any tricks in the shadows. Instead, they both sent out their strongest experts.
Such news would definitely cause an earthquake, causing the entire Royal Capital to tremble.
The Emperor Star Academy was about to clash head-on with the Royal Academy, and everyone knew that the Royal Academy was backed by the Royal Clan.
In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, An Liuyan stood on the roof of a building, gazing at the Royal Capital. Behind her, Yang Chen informed her of the movements of the Emperor Star Academy and the Royal Academy.
"This time around, the crisis the Emperor Star Academy is facing will be even more difficult compared to the previous one." An Liuyan spoke in a low voice.
"Doesn't the Emperor Star Academy have a backer?" Yang Chen asked.
"It should be the Azure Emperor Palace. From what I know, the influence of the Azure Faction in the Azure Emperor Palace is getting weaker and weaker. And the Xiao Clan is one of the three main factions of the Nine Mystical Palace. Back then when Luo Tianya interfered with the Emperor Star Academy, he had no choice but to compromise with the Azure Emperor Palace. But this time around, since Xiao Lan came to Chu, he must have already considered the possibility of the Azure Emperor Palace."
An Liuyan slowly spoke. Yang Chen didn't really understand what she meant. After all, the level of contact he had with the Azure Emperor Palace and the Nine Mystical Palace wasn't as deep as An Liuyan. However, he could faintly sense that An Liuyan's power wasn't small at all.
Other than the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Star River Association and the other major clans were all paying close attention to the situation.
In the Royal Capital, on a vast piece of flat land, the students from the Royal Academy and the Emperor Star Academy halted their movements. They were only a few thousand meters apart from each other, and a terrifying battle intent radiated from them, pressing down on each other.
In the airspace above both sides, demonic beasts circled in the air, while Yuanfu cultivators stood in the air. The total number of Yuanfu cultivators on both sides was over a hundred, and this was only the first time they clashed. From this, one could see how powerful the two powers were.
Back when Qin Wentian was still in the Sky Harmony City, it was already extremely rare to find a Yuanfu cultivator.
On the ground, the disciples at the Arterial Circulation Realm stood there solemnly, their gazes heavy as they lined up in rows.
The Emperor Star Academy didn't force their students to participate in this storm, but as cultivators, they all had hot-blooded hearts. When the Emperor Star Academy was in danger, how could they stand by the side and be cowards? As long as one was at the 3rd level of Arterial Circulation, with the exception of a few, the majority of them were willing to fight for the sake of the Emperor Star Academy.
At this moment, the number of Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators on both sides numbered in the hundreds, akin to a small-scale army.
Both sides didn't speak. Just by standing there, the entire space was filled with a terrifying pressure, causing those spectating from afar to feel suffocated.
The leader of the Emperor Star Academy was none other than Ren Qianxing. In the past, he rarely appeared in front of others, but now, everyone was already familiar with him. In the Emperor Star Academy, Ren Qianxing was one of the three vice-headmasters.
The strength of the leaders of the Royal Academy couldn't be compared to Ren Qianxing, but their statuses were extremely illustrious. Xiao Lan from the Nine Mystical Palace, Chu Tianjiao, the 3rd Prince of Chu, and the Crown Prince of Snowcloud, Xiao Lux.
The three of them stood on the back of a powerful demonic beast, gazing downwards in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy. Beside them, there were a few elders from the Royal Academy.
Those from the Royal Academy and the Emperor Star Academy were sizing each other up. Qin Wentian was also in the camp of the Emperor Star Academy, and he was standing in the front of a small formation.
In the formation that Qin Wentian was in, there were Qin Wentian, Luo Huan, Fan Le, Luo Cheng, Yu Fei, and the others. They were all elites, and if a battle were to break out, they would be able to pierce straight into the hearts of their opponents.
A large-scale battle was different from a chaotic battle. One had to pay particular attention to strategy.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared at the formation in front of the Royal Academy. In one of the formations, there was actually Orchon and the members of the Knight's Association. They were all nurtured by the Emperor Star Academy, but now, they were fighting for the Royal Academy against the Emperor Star Academy.
"I can give the Emperor Star Academy another chance. If you are willing to join the Royal Academy, I will preserve the Emperor Star Academy's assets and not touch you in the slightest." Chu Tianjiao gazed at Ren Qianxing and the rest as he calmly spoke.
However, Ren Qianxing only coldly glanced at him, and didn't even reply.
Chu Tianjiao coldly laughed, as he shifted his gaze onto the members of the Emperor Star Academy below. "If you all leave now, I will definitely let bygones be bygones. Using your strength to fight against the strength of an entire country, isn't a wise choice."
As the sound of Chu Tianjiao's voice faded, warhorses galloped over from afar. There were a few groups of youths, and they were the members of the Ye Clan, Ou Clan, and the other major powers. They were all willing to represent the Royal Academy in this battle.
In terms of numbers, the Royal Academy had the absolute advantage.
No one moved, but the hearts of the members of the Emperor Star Academy were wavering. It wasn't that they wanted to flee, but rather, they were gradually losing the confidence to win this battle. After the merger of the Royal Academy and the Godly General Martial Palace, they already had the advantage in terms of numbers. In addition to the participation of the members of the various major powers, the Royal Academy had the advantage in terms of numbers.
At this moment, a silhouette stepped out, causing the members of the Emperor Star Academy to be stunned.
Qin Wentian took a few steps forward, as he stood in front of the members of the Emperor Star Academy. Inclining his head, he stared at the silhouette in the air.
"The Royal Academy was supported by the Royal Clan, yet they were suppressed by the Emperor Star Academy for a thousand years. Now, in order to deal with the Emperor Star Academy, they even merged with the Godly General Martial Palace, using all sorts of methods to deal with the Emperor Star Academy. I'm sure that the pressure they endured for a thousand years must have been extremely painful." Qin Wentian calmly continued, "No one can replace our position. We, are from the Emperor Star Academy."
As Qin Wentian spoke, his long hair fluttered in the wind, as though he was basking in the glory of the Emperor Star Academy. At this moment, the students of the Emperor Star Academy all felt their blood boiling. In order to deal with them, the Royal Clan had spent so much effort.
They were from the Emperor Star Academy!
