The more something was in front of them, the easier it would be overlooked.
This was the case with the North Style Academy's ultimate customization. Even the people of the Bei Dou Gate woke up from their daze. Only now did they completely understand why the Academy had chosen the Seven Stars Valley, a place that was easy to attack but hard to defend, as the final battleground.
Because there was a customization buried here, a customization that could turn the situation around in an instant.
Surprise and excitement filled the chests of every Bei Dou Gate member. Some of them were already heavily injured, but they stood up again with the help of their peers. The elites of the three academies who were showing off their prowess earlier were now trapped in a cage. Their faces were filled with panic. Among them, the situation was slightly better. A few of them were circled in a custom-made circle. Fortunately, the circle was larger, and they could still move a few steps. The ones who were in a worse state were all alone and couldn't move. When the Bei Dou Gate attacked, they didn't even have the space to dodge. They could only use their soul power to resist. It was only a matter of time before they were knocked down.
What to do?
Before, the North Style Academy was doing their best to resist the attacks of the three academies. But in the blink of an eye, the situation took a 180-degree turn.
Although the customization had only been activated for a short while, they immediately realized how powerful it was. It didn't matter how long the customization would last or how to break it. The North Style Academy could wipe them out in a matter of minutes. How could they still have the time to think about how to break it?
Some people were struggling with all their might, while others were trying to find an opening. The three great academies, who had been unhurried before, suddenly felt that time was precious. Every step the people of the Bei Dou Gate took made them feel as if their lives were slipping away. There was no need to mention those who had already been trapped in the fierce battle. They were quickly eliminated by their opponents who had the advantage of being close to them.
The elites of the three academies that stood at the peak of the cultivation world were being harvested like wheat in the autumn harvest. Such a one-sided massacre was so simple that many Bei Dou Gate members couldn't bear to do it.
But whether it was Xu Lixue, Deng Wenjun, or Bai Li, these high-ranking members of the Bei Dou Gate who had survived the bloody battle had no intention of changing their orders. They were not ruthless people, but they knew the secret of the customization. They knew the weakness of the customization.
Xu Mai!
They activated the customization in advance and made Xu Mai a part of it. He needed the transcendent-grade Divine Weapon to control this customization. What he was doing was something that no man could do, something that could be called a miracle.
How long could this go on? No one knew the answer. The three head disciples only knew that it was not easy to obtain the current situation. Perhaps the great customization would stop very soon, and they would have to face the attack of the three big academies again. That was why the talkative Deng Wenjun only instructed them to "kill". Because only by killing, could they resolve the crisis the North Style Academy was facing. The benevolence in their hearts had long since been wiped clean when the Bei Dou Sect's people fell one by one.
Kill.
From the inside to the outside, the North Style Academy killed their way through, the students of the other three academies fell one after another. Even figures as powerful as the Southern Sky Academy's Eastern Woods Gate Master Cheng Luozhu and the Lack Yue Academy's Verdant Wood Island Master Cang Hai were only able to barely defend against the attacks in this limited space. It seemed like they could only hold on for a bit longer than the others.
However, the longer they could hold on, the more hope they had!
Cheng Luozhu plucked his fingers continuously, and the sound of his guqin continuously blocked the attacks of the Bei Dou Men. As someone who had discovered the crux of the matter early on, she had already realized what Xu Mai was doing.
They didn't even need to disturb this kind of matter. Even Xu Mai wouldn't be able to hold on if they just delayed it for a bit longer. Cheng Luozhu firmly believed this point.
However, for the three big academies, the price of delaying was extremely high. The North Style Academy clearly understood the crux of the matter better than them. That was why their counterattack was very decisive, and they quickly reaped the lives of the three big academies without the slightest hesitation.
At this point, the losses that the three big academies originally had because of their absolute advantage in strength had completely disappeared. The casualties from the battle at Phecda Peak had already exceeded their expectations. Now that they had fallen into this kind of situation, even if they won this battle in the end, the damage to their vitality wouldn't be something that could be recovered in a few years.
However, at this point, they were already riding a tiger and couldn't back down. They could only persevere and use whatever moves they had. Even if they didn't, they had to delay the North Style Academy's counterattack as much as possible.
For the Southern Sky Academy, Cheng Luozhu had already made up her mind. She couldn't help but recall the scene in front of the Dubhe Building, where Ruan Qingzhu held a long spear and stood firm on the stone steps. At that time, wouldn't her conviction be the same as the one she was now? Persevere and protect. Apart from their standpoint, everything about them was so similar.
That's why you are my good friend.
Cheng Luozhu faintly smiled. While thinking about Ruan Qingzhu, he mercilessly blocked the attacks of Ruan Qingzhu's fellow apprentices.
"Your teacher's situation doesn't seem too good."
On a peak outside the Seven Stars Valley, the girl hidden under the gray cloak suddenly said.
Qin Yue didn't reply immediately. When this girl didn't move, she was like a mountain rock beside the Buddha Mountain. Her existence was almost undetectable. Regarding her cloak, Qin Yue guessed that it was the legendary divine weapon "Cloud Recesses", but he still remained calm and collected.
He used Light Escape to escape from the Phecda Peak, but he didn't have much strength left. In the end, he found a remote place where he could observe the situation, but he quickly ran into this girl. He had met her once under the Phecda Peak, but he couldn't tell if she was a friend or foe.
And this time, he didn't know if it was a coincidence or the other party's intention. He didn't have much soul power left, and didn't have the ability to fight the other. So he could only maintain his silence and watch coldly.
The one hundred and eighty degree change of the battle in the Seven Stars Valley could be seen clearly from this position. At this time, the girl suddenly spoke. But Qin Yue still maintained his silence.
"As a member of the Qin Family, there shouldn't be any problems with your eyesight?" the girl said again.
The Qin Family's blood inheritance ability, Flowing Light Dance, was based on the Chong Soul. Xiuzhe that studied the Chong Soul would not be too bad in terms of eyesight that was closely related to the Chong Soul.
Qin Yue's eyesight naturally wasn't bad. Even though he didn't have much soul power to use, an ability like Far Sight was not a burden to him. He could see clearly, including Cheng Luozhu's present situation. But what made him feel even more uneasy was the mysterious girl next to him. What was her background? What goal?
"I remember you said," Qin Yue finally spoke, "we weren't enemies, but that was then."
"Then now?" he asked.
