Heard of them?
The names of the six powerhouses resounded like thunder. Not to mention the cultivation world, even ordinary people had heard of their names. Heard of them? His reply was as if he had not said anything.
Zhou Xiao carefully sized up Lu Ping, hoping to find something from his face. However, Lu Ping's expression remained the same, calm and peaceful, as if there would never be any ripples. Noticing that Zhou Xiao was looking at him, Lu Ping immediately looked back, not retreating at all. In the end, it was Zhou Xiao who shrunk his head.
How troublesome … Zhou Xiao was having a headache. He pondered over Lu Ping not only because he was curious, but because he was currently being controlled by Lu Ping. He hoped to know more about Lu Ping and see if he could find a way to escape. But in the end, he couldn't figure out Lu Ping's true power, and he couldn't see through his thoughts. A youngster like him, the South Sky's Dean, was at his wits' end.
Perhaps he could only wait.
Wait for a new situation, wait for the dean of the Big Dipper Academy to be unable to hold on. Or perhaps, something happened when Xu Lixue left in a hurry? Would the Seven Star Tower bring any changes?
The Qingfeng Empire was the mastermind.
Xu Lixue hurried back, realizing this problem.
If the Qingfeng Empire was really plotting against the North Style Academy, then wouldn't the second prince, Yan Ge, who joined the Big Dipper Academy fourteen years ago, be a big problem? Would the eldest prince Yan Ming and his guards, who came to watch the Seven Star Trials, make a big fuss?
Even if he could not be sure that what Zhou Xiao said was true, as long as there was a one in ten thousand possibility, Xu Lixue had no choice but to be anxious. Because Yan Ge was a disciple of the Big Dipper Academy, he was not affected by the Painted Ground Imprisonment. Yan Ming's guards had been guarding the Seven Star Tower all this time. At first, they were restricted by the Great Customization. But just now, Xu Mai had stopped supporting the damaged customization in order to save his Soul Power. Thus, the Great Customization around the Seven Star Tower was no longer effective. Coincidentally, Yan Ming's guards were in this area. At this moment, they could move freely and were very close to Principal Xu Mai.
If it was really the Qingfeng Empire …
Xu Lixue didn't dare to think any further. He only hated that he didn't have Kai Yang Academician's So Close, Yet Worlds Apart technique, which allowed him to instantly return to Xu Mai's side. He could only quickly send a message to his three disciples when the distance between them was about right.
"Be careful of Yan Ming's guards!"
Yan Ming's guard?
Lin Yao, Chu Zhuang, and Yu Jichen looked at each other. They had all received this message from their teacher, but they did not understand what it meant. They all subconsciously looked towards the Seven Star Tower that was floating in mid-air. On the eaves of the second floor, there was a custom-made prison. The person locked inside was the commander of Yan Ming's guards, a young general with the surname Wen and given name Kai.
He was the one who had given Cheng Luozhu the inspiration to enter the Seven Star Tower after the Great Order of Customization in this area was canceled. But in the end, it was futile. He'd only just stood on the Seven Star Tower when he'd already been imprisoned once more.
So, what did he mean by being careful of Yan Ming's guards?
After communicating with their eyes again, Lin Yao asked Xu Lixue and clarified the situation here. Chu Zhuang and Xu Jichen obeyed and paid attention to Yan Ming's guards.
Although Commander Wen Kai had been imprisoned again, Yan Ming did not have only one guard. What about the others?
The others could be found with just a glance.
The group of experts that were Yan Ming's personal guards had a discipline that normal practitioners did not have. After they were freed from the custom-made prison, they were neatly lined up under the Seven Star Tower. They originally wanted Wen Kai to go and protect Yan Ming. But when they discovered that there were more custom-made prisons in the Seven Star Tower, they gave up.
They had already received the exact number of people when they accepted the invitation from the North Style Academy. When they gathered at the Seven Star Tower, Xu Lixue and his disciples had already gotten a clear picture.
There were a total of 21 people.
With Yan Ming's position and position, this number of guards was a little shabby. Among all the guests that came to watch the Seven Star Examinations, other than Qin Qi who came alone, he had the least number of people.
And now, one person was trapped on the eaves of the second floor of the Seven Star Tower. There were still 20 people …
20 people …
Chu Zhuang and Yu Jichen's eyes widened. 20 people? No, that's not right. There were only 19 of Yan Ming's guards gathered there. There was still one person missing.
Was this what they had to guard against?
Where did this person go?
Was he going to attack the dean here?
Chu Zhuang and Yu Jichen's foreheads were sweating. Lin Yao was also shocked when he heard the situation. The three of them looked like lightning as they hastily searched the crowd. With this, Yu Jichen, who had the sharpest senses among the three, was the first to detect the movement.
"Over there!" Before he could see clearly, he pointed the direction to his two fellow disciples. But as he raised his finger, a cold light had already silently flashed towards them from that direction.
"Get out of the way!" Chu Zhuang shouted as he moved forward. Xu Lixue's three true disciples each had their own strengths. Yu Jichen's senses were outstanding, and he also had the skills of a doctor that did not lose to the Megrez Peak disciples. Lin Yao's talent was outstanding, and his perception was shocking. He had dabbled in three types of abilities, and had many types of abilities at his fingertips. Chu Zhuang's temperament was heroic, and he had extremely high achievements in soul of strength, and was proficient in martial techniques. In terms of fighting ability, he was the best of the three.
Seeing this unknown attack, Chu Zhuang did not even think as he protected Yu Jichen behind him. Staring at the cold light, he raised his palm and was about to use his soul of strength to strike it down.
"No!" Lin Yao hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late. Chu Zhuang's palm was full of soul of strength, and the cold mango was blown away, slanting to the side. He was just about to search for the enemy, but hearing Lin Yao's shout, he hurriedly paid attention again, and immediately broke out in cold sweat.
The slanted cold light did not fall. Borrowing the force of Chu Zhuang's palm, with a twist and a turn, it flew towards its true target – Xu Mai.
"Despicable!" Chu Zhuang, who had been tricked, was burning with rage. He took a big stride forward, and his lightning-like figure was not much slower than that cold light. On the other side, Lin Yao also hurriedly used his methods, setting up a few layers of soul of strength to defend. The two of them, one in front and one behind, instantly tamed the cold light.
Yu Jichen, who had also broken out in cold sweat, heaved a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to search for the enemy, a strange soul of strength ripple suddenly came from above his head.
"Not good!" Yu Jichen shouted as he raised his head. He had already realized that the cold light was just a diversion tactic to attract the attention of the three of them. The enemy's true attack had already started when the three of them were busy dealing with the cold light.
Numerous cold lights, like a gust of wind, like a shower, bloomed above, and fell down, covering the entire area. The three disciples, Xu Mai, were all within the attack range.
But the three of them could dodge, they could dodge, but Xu Mai could not move. With his sensitive senses, it was impossible for him not to notice these sneak attacks. It was just that he had already used all of his courage to maintain this Great Order, and was unwilling to use any of it on other things. He did not know about the dense rain of killing moves; even if he knew, he did not have the strength to maintain the grand custom and escape at the same time.
"Don't even think about it!" Chu Zhuang roared and leaped into the air.
This was the mission that their teacher had given them, the only mission that concerned the survival of the North Style Academy. In the end, they were actually so easily toyed with, it was truly unforgivable. Thinking about this, Chu Zhuang did not hesitate at all. He leaped into the air, waving his palms as he desperately stretched out his body. He knew that he could not completely block the concentrated killing moves, but he still had his body. He wanted to use his body as a shield for the dean.
"Chu Zhuang!!" Lin Yao and Yu Jichen shouted at the same time. They had the same thoughts as Chu Zhuang, but in the end, Chu Zhuang, who was the most skilled, rushed ahead of them. This move would mean certain death, and all they could do was to support Chu Zhuang as much as possible. No matter what, they could not let his sacrifice go to waste.
Lin Yao tried his best to use all the abilities he could think of at this moment.
Yu Jichen used his healing methods on Chu Zhuang through the air, unwilling to give up on that sliver of luck.
"Come!" Chu Zhuang roared and welcomed the cold rays head-on, waving his palms with all his might.
In the end, at this moment, a bronze candlestick suddenly floated over from the direction he waved his palms. Its speed did not seem fast, but it managed to get in front of Chu Zhuang's palms and the cold rays.
It floated there, unmoving like a mountain. The green candle in the center of the candlestick immediately lit up, and a circle of green light enveloped the area.
The falling cold lights were immediately bounced off when they hit the layer of green light. There was no need for Chu Zhuang to sacrifice himself, no need for Lin Yao and Yu Jichen's desperate support, this layer of protection was enough to protect the three of them.
This was not the end.
Not only did the green light form a layer of protection, it quickly resonated with the Sevenstar Tower that was floating in the air. The green light then started to spread. From the vicinity of the Sevenstar Tower, it spread towards the entire Sevenstar Valley, following the rules and network of the Drawing Ground Imprisonment Skill. In the end, it returned to its original point, to this green lamp, this green flame.
The area around the Sevenstar Tower that was originally devoid of customization suddenly recovered. Yan Ming's guards and other people that were not from the North Style Academy were once again sealed. Xu Mai, who had a face full of exhaustion, actually had a relaxed expression at this moment.
He knew what had happened, and a name instantly flashed through his mind.
Yaotian?
He thought, opened his eyes, and turned his head.
The person that appeared in his line of sight was not Li Yaotian, but a pale, sickly person that looked like he could collapse at any moment.
"Teacher Huo Ying!" Lin Yao and the other two shouted when they saw the person who came.
Huo Ying's face was pale, but his eyes were red, as if blood would drip out at any moment.
In front of him was the Principal of the North Style Academy and the three disciples of the Dubhe Peak's prime disciple, but he did not greet anyone. He only spoke one sentence.
