Naturally, Yu Mo's words were approved by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also wanted to form an alliance with the Long Family. He knew that the Long Family's strength wasn't weak, but it didn't matter because he was stronger. The only reason he wanted to form an alliance with the Long Family was to make it easier for him to swallow the Yalong City in the future.
However, in order to form an alliance with the Long Family, Zhao Hai needed to let the Long Family know about his strength. He needed the Long Family to know that he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Only in this way would the Long Family be willing to form an alliance with him.
While Zhao Hai was beating the Long Family, a meeting was held in the Holy Court. All the Patriarchs were gathered in the conference hall, even the dean was present.
After everyone was seated, the Dean looked at them and said, "There are several things that I would like to talk about in this meeting. First, the secret realm has already been prepared. All the troublemakers have been dispatched to the 12th foothold. I heard that after they arrived at the 12th foothold, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the poisonous snakes. Now, more than half of them have died. However, ordinary people don't know about this. It can be said that the matter in the secret realm has been solved. Now, we can move on to the next step. This time, we should remind you that the Sacred Academy also needs to arrange a retreat route. In this world, there is no better retreat route than the secret realm. Everyone, let's talk, should we build the secret realm as our retreat route?"
After the dean said this, everyone in the hall began to discuss. After some time, someone stood up and said, "Dean, I agree that we should make the Secret Realm our retreat. Although the Secret Realm is very dangerous, it's also an opportunity for us. This is because the environment of the Secret Realm is much better than the Spirit Weapon Realm. It's just that we haven't established a foothold in the Spirit Weapon Realm, so we didn't consider the Spirit Weapon Realm as our retreat. But now that we've established a foothold in the Secret Realm, as well as the magic formation on the island, we can use it as our retreat. We can even slowly move the people of the academy there."
The dean looked at this person, he knew that this person was the Patriarch of the Wen Clan. Naturally, this Wen Clan wasn't the same as the Wen Clan that had a conflict with Zhao Hai. Although these two clans had the same surname, their relationship wasn't very good. The Wen Clan that had a conflict with Zhao Hai was called the Great Wen Clan while this Wen Clan was called the Little Wen Clan. Because of this name, their relationship wasn't very good.
Now that the Great Wen Clan had been dealt with by Zhao Hai, they were eliminated from the academy. Therefore, the only Wen Clan left in the Sacred Court was the Wen Clan. And this Wen Clan member was the one who fought with Zhao Hai before, Wen Shunying. Now, Wen Shunying was the captain of the special attack squad.
Hearing the Wen Clan Head's words, everyone nodded. They all agreed with the Wen Clan Head's words. They also knew a little about the situation in the Mystic Realm. If they treated it as a retreat route, it wouldn't be a problem.
But at this time, another voice was heard, "I don't think it's appropriate!" Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and discovered that it was the Wu Clan's Patriarch. Originally, the Wu Clan wasn't one of the top clans in the Sacred Court. But because the Patriarch and the dean had a good relationship, the Wu Clan's status in the Sacred Court had risen. Nobody dared to look down on the Wu Clan's Patriarch.
The dean looked at the Wu Clan's Patriarch in surprise. Regarding the Secret Realm as a retreat, the Wu Clan shouldn't oppose it. This proposal was made by the dean, what did the Wu Clan want to do? After thinking about this, the dean couldn't help but feel unhappy. However, he was also an old fox, so he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Does the Wu Clan's Patriarch have any objections?"
The Wu Clan's Patriarch looked at the dean. He knew that the dean wasn't happy, but he wasn't worried. This was because he didn't oppose this proposal. Therefore, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't have any objections to using the Secret Realm as a retreat. On the contrary, I agree with it. However, I don't agree with the Wen Clan's Patriarch's proposal to immediately evacuate people to the Secret Realm. This matter absolutely cannot be done."
When the dean heard the Wu Clan's Patriarch, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. He looked at the Wu Clan's Patriarch and said, "Then tell me why this matter cannot be done."
The Wu Clan's Patriarch replied, "Everyone, we're currently fighting against the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. Moreover, we're preparing to take control of some city-states. If we withdraw our people to the Secret Realm, it would give people the impression that we're lacking in confidence, which would have a huge impact on morale. Therefore, we can't withdraw our people to the Secret Realm. We can send some people to the Secret Realm to make some preparations, such as building houses. But we can't withdraw our people to the Secret Realm. If the city-states lose their confidence in us, then we'll be finished." The Patriarch nodded, "Yes.
When the dean heard the Wu Clan's Patriarch, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed. He knew that what the Wu Clan's Patriarch said was reasonable. This time, they suffered a loss in the war with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. At this time, many city-states in the Spiritual Weapon Realm were already lacking confidence in the Sacred Academy. If they were to evacuate people to the Secret Realm, even if these people didn't know where they were going, what would they think if they knew that the Sacred Academy had already evacuated? They would immediately think that the Sacred Academy was finished. They knew that they weren't a match for the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. Therefore, they were prepared to retreat. What else could they do if they followed the Sacred Academy?
If these people really thought this, then they would be finished, the Sacred Academy would be finished. After thinking about this, the dean couldn't help but sigh. He actually agreed with the Wen Clan's Patriarch's words. This was because he thought that sending the non-combatants to the Secret Realm would allow them to fight against Zhao Hai. But now that he thought about it, he realized that he was wrong.
The dean let out a long breath, then he said, "The Wu Clan's Patriarch is right. We can't evacuate people to the Secret Realm right now. How about this, we'll send some people to the Secret Realm first. Then we'll wait until the situation stabilizes."
Nobody objected this time, all of them nodded. The dean looked at everyone and said, "Alright, let's stop talking about the Secret Realm. Let's talk about the Special Squad. The Special Squad is now ready, and the transmission formation is also ready. I think it's time to attack the Anti-Holy Alliance in order to boost our morale." The dean nodded and said, "Alright, let's stop talking about the Secret Realm. Let's talk about the Special Squad.
Everyone nodded. The special teams had already been discussed beforehand. Therefore, nobody objected to the dean's proposal. Therefore, the matter was passed smoothly.
The dean looked at everyone and then said, "Now, let's talk about the Yalong City. I think everyone already knows about it. What do you think?"
After discussing for a while, a family member said, "Dean, it's a good thing that the people of Yalong City have joined us. However, their conditions are too excessive. I think we should give them a proper warning."
Everyone nodded. The dean looked at them and then said, "This matter isn't urgent. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that the Yalong City-State chose to side with us. Although their request is excessive, now isn't the time to beat them. I've already ordered the Yalong City-State to not disclose their relationship with us. They'll pretend to be in contact with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance and then inquire about their plans. They can even betray us during the war and deal a fatal blow to the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. As for beating the Family Alliance, we can't do that right now. The Family Alliance hasn't received any benefits yet. If we beat them now, they might be pushed to the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's side. Therefore, we can't do that. But we can wait. As long as we deal with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance, then we can slowly deal with the Family Alliance. There's no need to worry about this matter."
Everyone nodded. At this time, another Family Head opened his mouth and said, "Dean, is there something fishy about this matter? The Family Alliance isn't reliable. They are people from the Lesser Dragon City, but they turned against the Long Family. The Long Family treated them well in the past. But this time, the Family Alliance came in contact with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. Although they didn't give a good face to the emissary, this is only what we heard. We don't know what the real situation is. This is really disadvantageous for us. We want to use the Family Alliance's people as spies. But is it possible that the Family Alliance has already reached an agreement with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance? Why would they act as spies for us? We have to guard against this matter. "
As soon as he said this, the entire hall buzzed. Many people nodded. To be honest, the reputation of the Family Alliance wasn't very good. As people from the Yalong City, the Long Family treated them well. But when the Long Family was in trouble, not only did they not help the Long Family, they even hit them when they were down. In the end, the Family Alliance took control of the Yalong City and turned the Long Family into a mere figurehead. To be honest, no one would have a good impression of such ungrateful people.
The dean nodded and said, "You're right. I didn't think about this before, so I have to guard against them. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of these people from the Family Alliance. But since we need them now, we have no choice but to accept them. Moreover, they might have offered some conditions to the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance. Although they said that they didn't have any deep talks with the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance's envoy, it's hard to say whether their words are credible. Moreover, these guys are the kind of people who forget righteousness for the sake of profit. We really have to guard against them. But even if we have to guard against them, we still have to use them. After all, the reputation of the Alternative Dragon City is there, so having them join us would be very helpful in improving our morale."
