Qixing Valley.
The soul power fluctuations coming from the direction of Dubhe Peak were quite intense, and many people here could feel it.
Everyone was very clear about what Dubhe Peak meant to the North Style Academy. Two academicians had just been sacrificed, and now even Dubhe Peak was in trouble. The incidents escalated again and again, breaking everyone's imagination time and time again.
Destruction?
This word, which seemed to never exist in the four academies, finally entered the hearts of the people of the Bei Dou Gate.
Currently, those who were still in the Seven Stars Valleys were those who had suffered tremendous losses in the Seven Stars Trials, or those who were severely injured. No matter how strong the others were, when the Seven Stars Order was issued, they had already headed towards the direction of Phecda Peak to provide support.
But in the end, the number one figure of the Phecda Peak, Academician Phecda, had already died in battle. Immediately after that, the most important Dubhe Peak of the North Style Academy also encountered a problem.
These heavily injured people who were unable to move in the Seven Stars Valley couldn't help but cast their gazes at someone in the valley with them — Xu Lixue, who had been guarding the Seven Stars Tower all this time.
You still want to guard the Seven Star Tower at a time like this?
At a time like this, no matter how important the people in the building were, would the academy be able to protect itself, or would they die?
That was what everyone was thinking, including the people from the Big Dipper Gate who were guarding Xu Lixue outside the Seven Star Tower. Although they weren't really Xu Lixue's disciples, they were genuine disciples of Dubhe Peak. Dubhe Peak was in trouble, but they could only defend here?
"Teacher!!"
Lin Yao, Chu Zhuang and Yu Jichen, Xu Lixue's three disciples, rushed back after escorting Li Yaotian and Huo Ying, but Xu Lixue did not allow them to reinforce Phecda Peak and still wanted them to stay here.
Wasn't the situation and the enemy already very clear?
Their opponents were the three great academies. Cheng Luozhu, Yuan Fei, Wei Su, and their respective students from the three great academies had long since found an excuse to leave the Sevenstar Tower or the spectator's stand. In the name of helping the North Style Academy, they acted as they pleased within the academy and coordinated with the outside.
The Phecda Peak's portal was their breakthrough point. As long as they could stop them, the Sevenstar Tower wouldn't be in any danger. Wasn't it a little too biased to insist on protecting the Sevenstar Tower's esteemed guest at a time like this?
But Xu Lixue insisted. Even when the commotion came from the direction of Dubhe Peak, he still remained unmoved. The three disciples had taken the lead to ask for permission, but he still insisted on guarding this place to the death.
"Teacher, what exactly is this …" Among the three students, Lin Yao was the most prudent and had been under Xu Lixue's tutelage for the longest. He understood his teacher the most. Xu Lixue's unreasonable stubbornness, in his opinion, had an unusual meaning. After carefully reviewing all of Xu Lixue's instructions, he suddenly realized a problem.
From the beginning to the end, every time Xu Lixue gave an order, every time he emphasized the target to be protected, he used the word 'Sevenstar Tower'.
It was true that all the esteemed guests were in the Seven Star Tower. Protecting the Seven Star Tower was equivalent to protecting them. However, from Xu Lixue's insistence, Lin Yaotian could faintly sense something. When Xu Lixue spoke of the Sevenstar Tower, she was really referring to the Sevenstar Tower. In fact, even if the esteemed guests of the Sevenstar Tower died, they would have to defend the Sevenstar Tower.
Putting the cart before the horse?
Or was this their ultimate goal from the very beginning?
Although Lin Yao was Xu Lixue's true disciple, he knew that the seven academicians of the North Style Academy had the highest status. The seven head disciples were the ones they trusted the most. Hence, there were many things in the North Style Academy that only they had the authority to do. For example, the Alioth Peak's Seven Elements Relief and the Phecda Peak's teleportation passage. Everyone knew about these things, but they had no right to set foot in them. However, was there something else apart from this? Only the seven academicians and the seven head disciples would know about it. Why didn't they, the disciples, know about it?
Could it be that protecting the Sevenstar Tower was to protect such a secret?
Lin Yao looked at Xu Lixue. Xu Lixue didn't answer him, but Lin Yao had already found the answer from Xu Lixue's gaze.
Yes. It was indeed so!
Under the Dubhe Peak, the principal of the North Style Academy and the head disciple of Academician Dubhe had been guarding the core of the North Style Academy.
Sevenstar Tower?
Lin Yao turned his head and looked at the ancient seven-story tower behind him. This was also a building that had been built since the establishment of the North Style Academy. Lin Yao suddenly realized that the Sevenstar Tower was an existence that was higher than the seven peaks.
This was because the Sevenstar Gathering was held here. It was the place where the seven academicians gathered to discuss matters. Something that required the seven academicians to gather for a discussion was not something that any of the peaks could act on their own. The instructions that were issued from here were higher than the seven peaks. This was the true pinnacle of the North Style Academy.
Hence, this was the place that they were guarding!
Lin Yao suddenly felt his blood boil. Although he still didn't know where the crux of the Sevenstar Tower was, he nodded at Xu Lixue to express his determination.
Xu Lixue also nodded at him, then looked at the other restless disciples.
"Here." He pointed behind him and said, "This is the place that we swore to protect with our lives. Everyone will know the reason soon."
Everyone's eyes widened. Although Xu Lixue didn't say why, it seemed that something was about to happen at the Sevenstar Tower.
Xu Lixue didn't say anything else. He also looked in the direction of the Dubhe Peak.
The Dubhe Tower's teleportation caused the mountain to shake. However, the Sevenstar Tower didn't seem to be affected at all. As a result, the disciples of the Big Dipper Gate beside the Sevenstar Tower didn't know that the records of the Dubhe Tower had already been transferred to the Sevenstar Tower.
This was because the activation of the teleportation required a signal to let the key people know that there was such a change.
When the Dubhe Tower's fluctuation came, Xu Mai and Song Yuan had already left the Phecda Peak valley. After sensing the fluctuation, Xu Mai immediately stopped and looked at the sky.
The sky was calm, as though it wasn't affected by the fluctuation. However, Xu Mai still stopped and watched for a long time.
There were no stars.
"Let's go." Xu Mai called out to Song Yuan.
Megrez Peak. Chen Jiu, who had finished repairing the Star Fate Diagram, was taking his disciples to deal with the aftermath. A fluctuation came from the direction of the Dubhe Peak.
"Teacher!" The disciples turned pale with fright. The consequences of the Dubhe Peak being damaged were no small matter.
Chen Jiu looked in the direction of the Dubhe Peak. His expression was much calmer. He continued to do what he was doing in an orderly manner. For someone like him who was always lazy and left everything to Jin Qi, it was rare for him to do things himself.
He quickly finished his work.
"Go down the mountain. Go to the Sevenstar Valley first. "He said to the disciples.
"Yes." The disciples obeyed and made way for their teacher to go first.
"You guys go first." Unexpectedly, Chen Jiu waved his hand.
The disciples didn't understand, but they quickly left. On the stargazing platform, only Chen Jiu was left.
After a while, Chen Jiu finally opened his mouth.
"Can I trust you?" He asked.
Behind the small stargazing platform, a person staggered out.
Even though Huo Ying's moving maze connected different spaces and sent Jin Qi out of the Seven Primordial Cores Enchantment, the attack of the trapped beast had more or less affected him. Although it was only a little, it was enough to make someone as strong as the head disciple suffer. Carrying his injuries, he finally escaped back to the Megrez Peak and came to the stargazing platform.
Chen Jiu turned his head and looked at Jin Qi. Jin Qi's sorry state didn't cause him to be immediately moved.
"I also had some arrangements, so I was very clear that the person who saved you wasn't me." Chen Jiu said.
"And I also know that there's no such thing as' saving '. You were seeking death, so even if I saved you, you wouldn't have left." Chen Jiu said.
"That's why I thought you were kidnapped," Chen Jiu continued.
"But there's no trace of a battle on the mountain. No one knows. You and that little brat were taken away just like that."
"This person's ability is undoubtedly very great."
"But so great that you couldn't even put up any resistance? I don't believe that. "Chen Jiu said.
He didn't want to suspect Jin Qi, and even when Jin Qi was suspicious, he would always oppose him. But the matter of Jin Qi being saved, as he had just said, did indeed have illogical reasoning — Jin Qi was seeking death, there was no reason for him to be taken away without a sound.
He needed Jin Qi to explain, and he believed that Jin Qi definitely had a reliable reason. He looked at Jin Qi confidently, waiting for his answer.
"That's because I didn't resist." Jin Qi replied.
"I guessed so." Chen Jiu nodded.
"Because I think the person who came to save me can be trusted." Jin Qi said.
"Oh? Then tell me, who is it? "Chen Jiu said.
"Kaiyang Peak, Academician Guo." Jin Qi said.
