Xuan Jun City.
Located in the northwest of the Xuan Jun Empire, it was originally called Lijiang City. After the Xuan Jun Empire was founded, they set their capital here and changed its name to Xuan Jun City. Since then, it became the most important city in the southeast of the continent. Most of the central departments of the Xuan Jun Empire were located here. The Academy Commission was one of the newer departments, located next to the famous State Protector Academy of the Xuan Jun Empire.
It was already very late at night, but the lights were still on in a room in the northwest corner of the Academy Commission's headquarters.
This was the exclusive office of the head of the Academy Commission, but the one sitting behind the desk was not the head of the Academy Commission, Qin Qi, but his father, the current head of the Qin family, Qin Chuan.
The Xuan Jun Empire sent the head of the Academy Commission, Qin Qi, to attend the annual Seven Star Examination. Who would have thought that he would return with heavy injuries and be carried to Qin Chuan. As a member of the South Sky Academy, his eldest son, Qin Yue, did not return home. However, the news he sent back from the South Sky Academy was not good.
What happened at the Seven Star Examination of the North Style Academy?
Two months had passed, the news was still spreading in the continent, all kinds of true and false were mixed together. The higher ups of the four academies and the three empires had been investigating this matter non-stop for two months.
At this time, on the desk of the head of the Academy Commission, there was the newly obtained information. After looking through it, Qin Chuan looked at the Qin family spy who brought back the information — Ku Zhu, who had been secretly protecting Qin Sang a year ago.
"Lin family?"
"Yes. Black Tortoise, Southern Sky, and Que Yue Academies have all revealed that the one who persuaded them to launch the attack was the Lin family, using the name of the Qingfeng Empire. "Ku Zhu said.
Qin Chuan nodded, "With the Lin family's position in the Qingfeng Empire, no one would be suspicious if they represented the Qingfeng Empire."
"The Lin family has already disappeared." Ku Zhu said.
"Find out where they went as soon as possible, this might be the Qingfeng Empire's strategy of sacrificing the rook to protect the king." Qin Chuan tapped on the table, quickly thinking of this possibility. For the Qingfeng Empire, it was necessary to immediately wash away the suspicion. Otherwise, they would face the anger of the four academies, and the other two empires would be more than happy to add fuel to the fire. The Qingfeng Empire would become the target of everyone. In such a dangerous situation, not to mention hiding a large clan, they would not hesitate to make it disappear completely.
"Yes, we're already doing our best to investigate, but this involves the higher-ups of the Qingfeng Empire, so it's inconvenient for us to act," Ku Zhu replied.
Qin Chuan nodded. This was an objective problem. None of the three empires would allow spies from other empires to operate freely within their borders.
"However, I've just received news that the whereabouts of a few people have been found," Bitter Bamboo said.
"Which ones?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Yan Ge, Lin Tianbiao, Lu Chenfeng," Ku Zhu said.
Among the three of them, Lin Tianbiao was a newcomer who had just entered the academy. He was only exposed at the very end of the incident. As for Yan Ge, Lu Chenfeng, and the head disciple of Mizar Peak, Chen Chu, they had already been in the North Style Academy for many years. They were exposed one by one during the climax of the incident. It seemed like they were the spies that the three academies were told to destroy the North Style's defense system. And they had indeed accomplished this. On that day, the North Style Academy's Seven Elements Disaster Relief, which had been established for two thousand and four hundred years, did not activate at all. If it wasn't for the Seven Stars Valley having a hidden great order, the North Style Academy might have really fallen.
But during the battle at the Seven Stars Valley, Lu Chenfeng's actions were very puzzling. First, he turned against the North Style Academy. Then, when the three academies were in a good position, he made a move against them. It made people unable to figure out the true intentions of this group of people. And now, they finally found their whereabouts. It could be used as a basis to analyze their intentions.
"Just three days ago, Yan Ge, Lin Tianbiao, and Lu Chenfeng directly passed through the Misty Pass and headed north." Ku Zhu immediately reported the latest information he had received.
"Misty Pass … …" Qin Chuan sank into deep thought again.
The Misty Pass was the northernmost mountain range of the Azure Peak Empire. The Misty Pass was located at the only narrow canyon pass in this mountain range. After passing through this pass, to the north of the Misty Pass was the so-called bitter cold land of the extreme north. The climate was bitter cold, the land was barren. For thousands of years, the various forces that fought for supremacy only fought for this continent within the Misty Pass. No one was interested in the barren land to the north of the Misty Pass. During the Second Great War of the Cultivation World, the forces of the Dark Academy that were eradicated escaped from the pass. This was the first time in history that they migrated from the pass to the outside.
Now that a thousand years had passed, the Dark Academy that occasionally appeared in the pass could not escape the fate of being crushed and eradicated. In the bitter cold land of the extreme north, it was extremely difficult to survive. Training was even more lacking in resources. The current forces of the Dark Academy, compared to the Four Great Academies that were at odds with each other in the past, seemed to be rather insignificant. Many of the practitioners in the continent within the pass thought so.
But now, Yan Ge and his group actually left the pass and headed north. With Lu Chenfeng, a five spirit expert, it was not surprising that they passed through the Misty Pass by Qin Creek. But at the same time, because they were strong enough, it should not be a difficult thing for them to pass through the Misty Pass without anyone noticing. Choosing to go straight through was more like a demonstration of force.
For the practitioners to leave the Misty Pass and head north, other than being related to the Dark Academy, there was almost no other conjecture.
One was the second prince of the Green Peak Imperial Family, the other was the second son of the Lin Family. Both of their identities and backgrounds were not ordinary. And the last one was one of the six five spirit experts in the world. These three people had joined the Dark Academy?
Did this represent just themselves, or was it a kind of tilting of power? Had the disappeared Lin Family already reached the other side of the Misty Pass?
The truth became more and more complicated, and Qin Chuan thought for a long time.
"Pay more attention to the whereabouts of the Green Peak Empire, see if they will make any moves outside the pass." Qin Chuan finally spoke.
"Yes. Then should we also send people outside the pass to take a look? "Ku Zhu asked.
This was another difficult question. The Xuan Army Empire was located in the southeast of the continent. Like the Chang Feng Empire in the southwest, they were separated from the bitter cold land of the extreme north by the huge Green Peak Empire. Outside the pass, they really did not have any foundation, and their understanding of the situation there was also very limited. At this time, if they really wanted to understand the situation there, there was only a feeling of not knowing where to start.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Choose a few who are a little smarter and give it a try."
"Understood." Ku Zhu nodded.
"You've worked hard, go rest." Qin Chuan said.
"That …" Ku Zhu hesitated, and after a moment of hesitation, finally opened his mouth. "Is Miss alright?"
"She's fine." Qin Chuan's expression showed some comfort. His three sons and daughters were all involved in the Big Dipper incident. After learning that his two sons, Qin Yue and Qin Qi, were both heavily injured, he almost did not dare to have any expectations for Qin Sang. Who would have thought that in the end, it was the youngest daughter with the weakest strength who returned unharmed. But her mood was not as good as before. It seemed that she had suffered some setbacks. Qin Chuan thought about it and did not feel too surprised. How high was the level of a battle between the Four Great Academies? Perhaps only those with four spirits and above could stand on the stage. The always proud and arrogant Qin Sang could not help but feel a little defeated after seeing that scene. But this was not a bad thing. This time, she had followed along to watch the Seven Star Examination, to let her see the outside world. Although the result was a little violent, the goal was achieved.
When Ku Zhu heard this answer and saw Qin Chuan's expression, he did not say anything more. He bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a sound outside the door. It seemed that someone was rushing over.
"Who is it?" Qin Chuan clearly heard it too. He did not wait for the outside to report and asked. For someone to rush over at this time, it must be something important.
"The chairman of the Zhiling Institution's Supervisory Branch, Feng Xingye, wishes to see you." A report came from outside the door.
"Let him come," Qin Chuan said.
"This subordinate will take his leave first," Ku Zhu said and continued to walk away.
"No hurry. Let's listen to the news he sent, "Qin Chuan said.
Ku Zhu returned to the hall. Feng Xingye quickly arrived and entered the room. When he saw that it was Qin Chuan sitting behind the desk, he could not help but be stunned. Although Qin Chuan was the head of the Qin family, Qin Qi was the director of the Supervisory Branch. The Supervisory Branch was not the private property of the Qin family. Even if it was Qin Chuan, it was still somewhat inappropriate for him to sit in the director's exclusive seat like this.
But Feng Xingye had a close personal relationship with the Qin family, and would not dwell on such details like others. After a moment's pause, he hurriedly greeted Qin Chuan and called himself a junior.
Qin Chuan nodded. Seeing Feng Xingye's body tremble slightly and look like he was about to collapse, he showed a trace of surprise.
"How long did it take you to come from Zhiling City?" he suddenly threw out such a question.
"Seven hours," Feng Xingye answered.
"Seven hours? You've been using Dancing Flowing Light continuously! "As Qin Chuan spoke, his tone and expression became much more serious." What happened? "
