The strength of the Dubhe Warriors was indeed extraordinary. Their participation had instantly disrupted the situation at the Merak position that Xu Mai had mentioned. However, the Dubhe Warriors were not reinforcements that appeared out of nowhere. They were an enemy that the three academies had expected to deal with. This new force did not keep the three academies at a loss. They quickly supported the Merak position and withstood the attack of the Dubhe Warriors.
The situation did not change much.
Seeing that the situation at the Merak position was under control again, the dean of the Southern Sky Academy, Zhou Xiao, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although the advantage was obvious, his nerves were still tense. The attack that he had thought was within his calculations had caused the three academies to suffer such a loss because of a newcomer that appeared out of nowhere. Did the North Style Academy have any more unexpected combat power like Lu Ping or methods that were not within their grasp?
Zhou Xiao could not feel at ease when he thought of this. He occasionally looked at Xu Mai on the roof of the Seven Star Tower, but did not see any panic on his face. Was he pretending to be calm, or did Xu Mai have a backup plan? Zhou Xiao could not be sure.
"Dean, another five people from Black Tortoise went to the Northern Mountain New Academy." At this moment, a disciple of the Southern Sky Academy came over and reported to Zhou Xiao. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
Zhou Xiao immediately frowned and could not help but look in the direction of the Northern Mountain New Academy. At this moment, he could not confirm what had happened there. If it was some kind of trap, the people from the Black Tortoise Academy would inevitably affect the overall situation.
"Xiaohe." Zhou Xiao sent out a message and called out to Nan Xiaohe. "Are you sure that Lu Ping has already exhausted his strength?"
"I'm sure," Nan Xiaohe replied quickly.
"How long do you think it will take for him to recover?" Zhou Xiao asked again.
"I really can't make a judgment on him, but for an ordinary person, it is more likely that he will die of exhaustion in that state. It is impossible for him to recover in a short period of time," Nan Xiaohe replied.
The two big shots of the Southern Sky Academy communicated in a rather long message. It was clear that the battle pressure they were facing was not that great. Although this special ability was simple, without a high degree of concentration, it was impossible to maintain communication as if using a sound track. Nan Xiaohe mainly commanded the students, while Zhou Xiao observed the overall situation and did not take action personally.
After understanding the situation from Nan Xiaohe again, Zhou Xiao became even more hesitant.
If it was just Lu Ping, he would just be an abnormally powerful enemy. They could still concentrate their forces to deal with him. However, if it really was a trap set up by Big Dipper, it would be somewhat difficult to deal with.
"Qi Ying," Zhou Xiao suddenly called out.
A member of the Southern Heaven Gate who had been following closely behind him immediately walked in front of him.
"Go to the Beishan New Courtyard." Zhou Xiao instructed, "Pay attention. Come back once you understand the situation. No matter what happens, don't get involved."
Zhou Xiao was more careful when dealing with it. After all, he was only the dean of the South Sky Academy. No matter how high his status was, he could not directly issue orders to the disciples of the Black Tortoise Academy. For this operation, he was afraid that there would be communication barriers between the three courtyards, so he invited the Black Tortoise Wall Constellation. Bi Su was a man of virtue and prestige, and he wasn't a stubborn old man who didn't understand reason. With him in charge, everyone in the three academies was convinced.
In the end, no one thought that Bi Su would die so heroically. No one had expected such a danger to be hidden in the valley when the teleportation channel was opened.
Without Bi Su, the three academies also knew that it was impossible to not have a commander. Among the three academies, only Zhou Xiao, as the dean, had personally come to Big Dipper. He had the highest status, so after a simple discussion, he was pushed out. However, Zhou Xiao considered the emotions of the people of the Black Tortoise Academy. Although he did not agree with their repeated spontaneous actions, he did not use his status as the commander to force them. He knew that under the impulse of the people of the Black Tortoise Academy for revenge, there was nothing he could do if they said they didn't want to listen.
Therefore, he first sent a trusted follower to go. He did not ask for anything else, just to find out the situation. In this way, when he stopped the rash actions of the Black Tortoise Academy, he could at least do it with reason. For the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Xiao could be said to have taken great pains. He was afraid that at this time, the people of the Black Tortoise Academy, who were full of hatred, would completely lose control.
Zhou Xiao's follower, Qi Ying, received the order and immediately left. The terrain of the Qixing Valley was flat and open. This kind of action could not be hidden from Xu Mai who was looking down from above. However, it was a pity that Xu Mai could not confirm what exactly was going on at the Northern Mountain New Courtyard that made the people of the three academies go there one after another. He was only sure that they did not make any arrangements there. Therefore, the one that would make the three academies feel threatened was probably Lu Ping again.
Would this youngster affect the overall situation again?
In fact, Xu Mai was in the same state as Zhou Xiao. He was in a state of complete ignorance about Lu Ping. He did not know his background, and did not know what kind of actions he would take. However, at present, it seemed that Lu Ping's actions were beneficial to the North Style Academy. It could even be said that Lu Ping had already saved the North Style Academy once. In the valley of the Phecda Peak, he was alone.
So this time, how could they let him fight alone?
Xu Mai also wanted to send people to support the Northern Mountain New Courtyard. However, looking at the battlefield around the Qixing Tower, the people of the Bei Dou Gate were already heavily injured to the point that they could not leave the frontline. How could there be any more people to deploy? If he sent some mediocre people, not only would they not be able to help, they would also distract Lu Ping from taking care of them.
Xu Mai could not bear it, but he was helpless.
Just hold on a little longer …
He could only silently say in his heart. This was for Lu Ping, for the people of the Bei Dou Gate who were fighting, and also for his beloved disciple Ruan Qingzhu whose whereabouts were unknown.
On the deep cliff below the Dubhe Peak.
Pei Ci endured the pain and searched for Ruan Qingzhu again and again after the warriors of the Dubhe Tower left.
But there was no sign of her.
Pei Ci had already searched the radius of a few hundred meters from the Dubhe Tower three times, but she still could not find Ruan Qingzhu.
Pei Ci was a little tired. She was hit directly by Cheng Luozhu's Ten Finger Palace. Her injuries were not light at all. But she did not stop and immediately began searching for the fourth time. This time, she was prepared to expand the range a little more.
At least her teacher was not dead yet.
When she thought of this, Pei Ci became a little more excited, but at the same time, she began to worry more. Even if Ruan Qingzhu did not die, her injuries would be very serious. Pei Ci was really afraid that if she could not find her teacher for a long time, she would delay the treatment and cause something terrible to happen. As the fierce battle in the Seven Stars Valleys began, the dead people of the Bei Dou Gate incessantly caused stars to fall. Every time a star fell, Pei Ci would be shocked.
Every time she confirmed that the star fell was not her teacher, she would feel sad for her fellow disciple's sacrifice. But Pei Ci would also feel apologetic and glad.
At least her teacher was not dead yet.
She thought of this again and again, urging herself to be faster.
So, on the fourth time, she searched again, but suddenly heard voices coming from the cliff ahead.
"Is this the mountain gate?" A timid girl's voice asked carefully.
"No." An unusually straightforward female voice answered.
The girl then fell silent. She clearly wanted to ask something else, but she did not dare to.
"But we can actually walk here. It seems that the Seven Elements Disaster Relief Formation of the Bei Dou Gate has been destroyed." The straightforward female voice sounded again.
Who was it?
Pei Ci had already quickly searched through all the female voices in her mind, but she did not remember these two voices. But soon after, a pungent smell of alcohol floated over from that direction.
