Qi Ying was dead.
Although Zhou Xiao, the dean of the Southern Sky Academy, didn't know everything about Qi Ying, there was a kind of sense binding between them when it came to life and death.
Not long after he was sent out, he actually died, and not even the slightest news was sent back. What happened at the Northern Mountain New Institution?
For a moment, Zhou Xiao had an impulse to go there and see for himself.
But he quickly controlled himself. He was now the chief commander of the three academies. Even if Que Yue Academy and Black Tortoise Academy didn't listen to him, his command was still very important.
"Ling 'er." He called.
"Teacher." A young girl answered.
Feng Ling was another student of Zhou Xiao. She was young but had good strength. She was also a genius. Just like Qi Ying, she was highly regarded by Zhou Xiao.
"Your senior brother Qi is dead." Zhou Xiao said.
"What!" Feng Ling obviously knew where Qi Ying went. She immediately turned around and looked at the direction of the Northern Mountain New Institution.
She and Zhou Xiao were very clear about Qi Ying's ability. Soul Vanishing, Thin Shadow Concealment, Wind Movement. With such methods, even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, it would still be very easy to escape. Moreover, Zhou Xiao didn't ask him to fight anyone. He only asked him to investigate. With Soul Vanishing, it was impossible for him to be exposed. But now he was dead. It meant that the opponent was a powerful character who could even sense Soul Vanishing.
"Teacher, please tell me." Feng Ling said.
"I want you to organize a line of defense behind us." Zhou Xiao said.
"Organize another one?" Feng Ling asked.
They had checked the strength of the North Style Academy. Since the two academicians Kai Yang and Tian Quan hadn't arrived, they didn't rule out the possibility of being attacked. So they didn't care about the front and ignored the back. They had already arranged people to be on guard behind them. But now, Zhou Xiao asked Feng Ling to organize another line of defense.
"Yes." Zhou Xiao nodded.
"Understood." Feng Ling nodded.
This line of defense was obviously against the Northern Mountain New Institution. They were not sure what was going on there. So Zhou Xiao didn't want to send more people to investigate. Even Qi Ying's method had failed to return, so there was nothing he could do.
So, it was better to wait here.
"You go first. I will arrange some people to support you." Zhou Xiao continued.
"Yes." Feng Ling nodded and immediately left to carry out the order. As Zhou Xiao's trusted disciple, she also had a certain degree of command over the South Sky Academy. She selected several disciples of her own and went to the North Mountain New Academy to set up defenses.
Zhou Xiao also temporarily left his commanding position and went to the square formation that Black Tortoise Academy was in charge of. The battle on this side was very intense. The people of the Black Tortoise Sect who were proficient in martial arts mostly fought in close combat, with their fists hitting the flesh. There were very few unpredictable battles with special abilities.
They had already lost three of the seven constellations, and many of the people fighting here were disciples of these three constellations. They were eager for revenge, and their fighting spirits were high. However, what Zhou Xiao brought them was yet another piece of grievous news.
"Qi Ying is dead."
Zhou Xiao found Xu Su and told him about the death of his disciple. However, when Xu Su heard this news, his heart immediately sank.
He had also heard of Qi Ying's methods. When Zhou Xiao told him about Qi Ying's death, he was actually telling him that the five people of the Black Tortoise Sect who had gone there were most likely dead.
"Right now, we have no idea what's going on over there," Zhou Xiao continued without waiting for Xu Su to ask.
"So, what I mean is that we should wait and see for now," Zhou Xiao said. He came to negotiate with Xu Su because he was afraid that the Black Tortoise Academy would send more people after hearing about the death of the five people. The unknown of the North Mountain New Academy was like a whirlpool that would make them go there with no return.
"Could it be Lu Ping?" Xu Su said.
"I can't rule out that possibility," Zhou Xiao said.
"We have already figured out the strength of the North Style Academy. Apart from this Lu Ping, who else has such ability? "Xu Su said.
From Ma Cheng, Mo Sheng, to the Black Tortoise Constellation, to the five other Constellation disciples, and Qi Ying who was proficient in Soul Vanishing Shadow. All of them were killed in a very short period of time. Perhaps they fell into a trap and were killed one by one. But to be able to make four waves of people unable to send back any news, that was even more terrifying. Could Academician Kai Yang or Academician Tian Quan do this?
"If it's really Lu Ping, then we can't be impulsive. We still don't know what's going on with him. It's best if all of us can face him together, "Zhou Xiao said. The dean of the South Sky Academy was already so afraid of Lu Ping.
Xu Su nodded. He didn't deny Zhou Xiao's judgment, but there was one thing he couldn't share with Zhou Xiao.
The Divine Martial Seal!
The Divine Martial Seal, which was extremely important to the Black Tortoise Academy, was very likely to fall into the hands of Lu Ping. Compared to revenge, taking back the Divine Martial Seal was more important to the Black Tortoise Academy. They needed to be calm and take it seriously.
The Black Tortoise Academy could wait for revenge. They weren't impatient.
But they couldn't wait for the Divine Martial Seal.
He couldn't tell Zhou Xiao about this. Today, the three great academies surrounded the North Style Academy. If Zhou Xiao knew that the Black Tortoise Academy had lost the Divine Martial Seal and three of their seven constellations, it might be the two great academies that surrounded the Black Tortoise Academy tomorrow.
"What do we do now?" He calculated in his heart while asking Zhou Xiao about the current arrangements.
"My disciple Feng Ling has already brought people to defend against possible attacks. I need the cooperation of Black Tortoise and Que Yue, so that we can help at the first moment," Zhou Xiao said.
"No problem," Xu Su immediately agreed. He immediately picked two of his disciples in front of Zhou Xiao and made the arrangements.
Zhou Xiao relaxed a lot and looked at the situation around him.
"The Alkaid Sect's gate guards live up to their reputation," Xu Su suddenly said.
"Yes," Zhou Xiao nodded.
Within the range of their eyes, the most eye-catching scene was the Alkaid Sect's head disciple Deng Wenjun leading the Alkaid Sect's people to defend against the siege. Before Zhou Xiao arrived, even Xu Su had participated in the battle. But facing the attack formation that had long surpassed them, Deng Wenjun did not retreat, and the Alkaid Sect's people did not retreat. This small formation was like the Big Dipper Mountain Gate that they had guarded for thousands of years, they did not give an inch.
"But it's about time," Xu Su said. He walked away from Zhou Xiao and stepped forward.
"I'll leave it to you," Zhou Xiao said.
Xu Su raised his hand and waved at Zhou Xiao. When he descended again, he was like a heavy hammer, crashing down on the Alkaid Sect's formation.
"Get out of the way!" Deng Wenjun roared as he stepped forward. He raised his round shield with both hands and pushed it upwards. Soul power spread out. What he raised was not a round shield, but a piece of the sky.
Stars Fall Over the Plains!
Deng Wenjun's Divine Weapon released its power, displaying a majestic might, causing Xu Su's heavy hammer to seem as light as a feather.
But at this moment, Xu Su sneered. The heavy hammer fell and scattered on the piece of land that Deng Wenjun had raised, but it did not shake Deng Wenjun in the slightest. Accurately speaking, Deng Wenjun did not feel any weight at all.
This punch … … was an illusion!
Deng Wenjun reacted instantly, but it was too late. Xu Su's fist had already arrived in front of him, heavily hammering his chest.
Swimming Dragon, Tiger Cannon.
These were the abilities that Black Tortoise Xu Su specialized in.
Dragons could be big or small, they could rise or hide, and were most proficient in transformations. Tigers roared through the mountains and swallowed the world.
The heavy hammer, which landed on the shield but did not make a sound, was Swimming Dragon. The heavy punch, which landed on the chest but killed him in one blow, was Tiger Cannon.
The fist retracted.
A hole suddenly appeared in Deng Wenjun's chest. He heard his ribs shatter, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat.
"Compared to Ruan Qingzhu, you are far inferior," Xu Su said calmly as he retracted his fist.
Deng Wenjun gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood. His body swayed, but he did not fall, nor did he retreat.
"Good, at least you have some backbone." Xu Su nodded approvingly, but this was not a reason for him to let his opponent go.
"Teacher! Eldest Senior Brother!! "
Deng Wenjun's group consisted of his disciples and fellow disciples of Alkaid Peak. At this moment, they cried out in alarm and wanted to rescue Xu Su, but they were stopped by the other disciples of Xuanwu Sect. They could only watch as Xu Su punched out again.
But at this moment, a person suddenly emerged from the chaotic battle. He swayed as if he had no bones, but in a few steps he was between the two. His arm lashed out like a whip, aiming for Xu Su's vitals.
Xu Su had no choice but to retreat. By the time he was about to counterattack, that person had already pulled Deng Wenjun back. The Big Dipper Gate had already protected them.
"I saved you too," Zhan Ren said. His complexion was terrible, but he endured his injuries and used his ability to snatch Deng Wenjun back.
"I thought you were dead," Deng Wenjun said.
"Maybe I really am," Zhan Ren said.
Although he had saved Deng Wenjun, it was only temporary. But how could these disciples stop the Black Tortoise Illusory Constellation?
Zhan Ren's face was pale, and Deng Wenjun felt pain even when he breathed. The two Big Dipper Gate disciples were heavily injured, but they didn't retreat.
"I didn't think I would die with you. Disgusting." Deng Wenjun didn't hide her disgust.
"You think I'm excited?" Zhan Ren knew that he was the most unpopular among the disciples. As a disciple of Merak Peak, it was easy to offend people. Wasn't his teacher also the most unpopular among the seven academicians?
Thus, the disciples of Merak Peak were already used to this kind of thing. So what if I'm unpopular? I don't have to care about what you think anyway. I can be more carefree!
"It's just that I don't feel good dying like this." Zhan Ren stared at the approaching Xu Su.
"You still want to pretend?" Deng Wenjun's tone was still sarcastic.
"Pretend, I have to pretend." Zhan Ren said sternly. "I'm about to die. If I don't pretend now, when will I?"
"Go pretend, I'll cover you," Deng Wenjun said.
