Although the words were spoken, the grudge was still there.
Lu Chenfeng was indeed the greatest enemy in front of them, but Shang Ling's words had a hidden meaning. He clearly wanted Zhou Xiao and Xu Chuan to explain why the Southern Sky Academy and Black Tortoise Academy hadn't acted according to their original plan to deal with Lu Chenfeng.
Zhou Xiao and Xu Chuan understood the meaning behind his words.
Xu Chuan had a troubled expression, but Zhou Xiao was straightforward. He immediately said, "Falling Candle and Heaven Gaze Mirror were lost in the formation. It seems we have to think of another way."
When Xu Chuan heard this, he immediately followed up, "A few teachers have died one after another. There's no one on Black Tortoise's side who can control the Divine Martial Seal for now." In the end, he still held back and didn't mention that the Divine Martial Seal was missing.
When Que Yue and the other island lords heard that both sides had their own reasons, they believed most of it and frowned.
"This is troublesome," Yuan Fei said.
They couldn't be blamed for not having a plan to deal with Lu Chenfeng. One of the six strongest people in the world. It was already very difficult to find a way to deal with him. If they could list out seven or eight plans, then the Five Spirits Connection wouldn't be as scary as everyone had feared. Moreover, the original plan was to rely on the supreme divine weapons of each school. They had to protect them with their lives, and they were controlled by the strongest people of each school. They hadn't expected there to be a mistake on this.
Zhou Xiao smiled. "Don't panic. We didn't have many ways to deal with Lu Chenfeng before because we knew too little about him. Based on my previous observation of him, this Lu Chenfeng has probably always been bitterly cultivating in seclusion and is extremely lacking in combat experience. Moreover, he first slaughtered Big Dipper, and now he's dealing with the three academies. His attitude is also strange. I don't think he will go all out against us. "
"Lu Chenfeng's actions are indeed strange. What does he want? I thought he was a spy bought over by Green Peak, but it doesn't seem like it now. "Yuan Fei frowned.
"This war isn't just about the four academies," Zhou Xiao said.
"Dean Zhou, what do you mean?" Yuan Fei asked after a pause. This war wasn't just a competition between the four academies. The three academies had allied because of Green Peak Empire. There was no need for Zhou Xiao to emphasize this matter that everyone knew. His words were obviously referring to something else.
Zhou Xiao shook his head. He only had such a guess, but he didn't know who the hidden force was.
"There's no time for conspiracy theories right now. If Principal Zhou has any methods to deal with Lu Chenfeng, hurry up and say it." Shang Ling of Lacking Yue Academy said somewhat impatiently. Their internal strife gave the North Style Academy a chance to take advantage of. One wave of counterattack made them feel disheartened. This was especially so for Xieyue Academy. Their casualties, which were originally the lowest, were now soaring. If Zhou Xiao spoke a little more, Shang Ling would inevitably suspect that they were trying to weaken Que Yue's power.
"That's how it should be." Zhou Xiao straightened his expression and immediately told them about his plan. Although he was heavily injured and unable to fight, his eyes were still sharp. The Zhou's Bloodline Inheritance Arcana, Erudite and Modern, was not a lethal Arcana, so Zhou Xiao and the others were still extremely convinced. They agreed with his plan and quickly came to an agreement. Then, they started to make arrangements.
As for the internal strife, Zhou Xiao and Xu Chuan had already made their own arrangements when they came to the Queyue Academy. The Southern Sky Academy and the Black Tortoise Academy coordinated with the Queyue Academy's rhythm and avoided the Big Dipper Academy's attack. Although they had fallen into a passive position, it was still much better than being almost scattered by the Big Dipper Academy's attacks.
The three academies reacted very quickly. This was obviously not good news for Xu Lixue.
He still didn't know why the three academies had erupted in internal strife. But it seemed that the conflict hadn't escalated. Instead, it was showing signs of subsiding. Xu Lixue had seized the time to direct this wave of attacks, but it hadn't reached the killing power he had hoped for.
Xu Lixue, who was at the forefront of the formation, wasn't only directing his troops in all directions, he was also desperately using his Arcana to kill the enemy. Even so, he could only watch as the three academies assumed a defensive stance and slowly retreated, stabilizing their position in the process. The confusion on the disciple's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a determined look.
It wasn't enough!
The current level was far from enough!
The bell rang and shook off the two Que Yue disciples who were in front of him. He spread his perception in all directions and felt that the opportunities and openings left for them by the three academies were getting fewer and fewer. The only thing that could be done was Lu Chenfeng's offensive. Under his control, the towering fire dragon didn't show its might at all. Everywhere the fire dragon passed, scorched earth was left behind. Those who were slightly weaker felt as if their souls were melting uncontrollably just by getting close to the fire dragon and feeling its high temperature.
How was this still the Nine Dragons Fire Seal that wouldn't attack anything within the barrier? This aura clearly wanted to destroy everything.
Should I follow Lu Chenfeng?
Xu Lixue was still hesitant. He didn't trust Lu Chenfeng anymore, but did he have any other choice?
The three academies' battle formation was becoming more and more stable. The Big Dipper Academy's unstoppable counterattack was gradually being obstructed, and now, the three academies were still able to withstand the attacks. The only thing waiting for them was the three academies' well-timed counterattack. Apart from Lu Chenfeng, who was still advancing, the Big Dipper Academy had no other way to break through.
So, what was there to hesitate about?
Xu Lixue quickly passed down a few instructions. The people of the Big Dipper Gate started to coordinate with Lu Chenfeng's attacks. Lu Chenfeng was the main force, they were the support, including Xu Lixue. Every bell chime he made started to coordinate with the high temperature of Lu Chenfeng's fire dragon.
Behind them, Guo Wu Shu sat on the ground, trying to support his body as he looked at the changes on the battlefield in front of him. A black clothed and masked figure suddenly flashed next to him, crouching next to him and saying a few words.
"They stabilized so quickly, as expected, it's still not enough …" Guo Wu Shu's tone was mostly a sigh, but also a bit disappointed. He knew the chances weren't high, but he couldn't help but have some hope.
"This subordinate wants to launch an assassination," the black clothed and masked person crouching next to him said.
"Launch an assassination … if there was more time, if more of you could grasp 'Ji', we could definitely make the three academies blossom …" Guo Wu Shu was still sighing. He didn't feel that the assassination that the masked person spoke of could be counted on.
The brand new team "None" that he had built in seclusion for many years, valued quality over quantity, so the number of people was very small. Among them, there were only four who could grasp his newly developed ability, "Ji".
Four people could at most complete four assassinations. Even if they took the lives of four key people, it wouldn't affect the overall situation too much. Wei Su's life was still in their hands. But after escaping from the Painted Ground Imprisonment, did the people of Black Tortoise Academy even hesitate for a second because of this problem?
This was a war, North Style Academy hastily responded, but the three academies were fully prepared. They had a great advantage, but the number of assassinations was too few. Even if all of them succeeded, it wouldn't be fatal, not enough to form a deterrent, and not enough to cover each other's escape.
"Protect yourselves, Big Dipper will not collapse like this," Guo Wu Shu said.
"Yes." The masked person lowered his head, expressing his obedience.
Guo Wu Shu looked at the scene of devastation around him, and finally set his gaze on the fire dragon in front of him.
"Now we can only see how far this person can go," Guo Wu Shu said.
The one who injured him was Lu Chenfeng.
The one who reversed Big Dipper's situation was Lu Chenfeng.
The accomplice that destroyed the Painted Ground Imprisonment was Lu Chenfeng.
The one that Big Dipper could rely on now, was Lu Chenfeng.
They hated him, but also looked forward to him.
