The deans of the three academies sincerely admired Xu Mai.
When he told the three of them about the Allpine Ruler in advance, they sincerely admired him. Now that Xu Mai told all the academies about the Allpine Ruler, they admired him again.
The crusade against the Dark Academy and the elimination of the evil dark forces was not just a matter for the North Style Academy, but for the entire world. But Xu Mai put the North Style Academy's own interests behind him for the sake of the world. If the secret of the Allpine Ruler was not revealed, everyone would not understand the urgency and importance of the crusade against the Dark Academy and would not be able to do their best.
But now that the secret of the Allpine Ruler was revealed, from the academies to the three great empires, who would not covet it? Who would be willing to obediently return the Allpine Ruler to the North Style Academy after seizing it?
At the very least, the three people in the pavilion would not be unable to guarantee this. After knowing about the Allpine Ruler, they immediately began to plan how to obtain the Allpine Ruler during the crusade against the Dark Academy. Because of the Allpine Ruler, the academies would inevitably have to fight openly and covertly.
How could Xu Mai not know about this?
Of course not.
He definitely knew this, but when he told the three academies, he did not ask for anything from them. When he told the other academies, he also did not ask for anything.
He revealed the Allpine Ruler because he hoped that everyone would realize the severity of the problem and put in their best efforts. His actions were admirable, but there were also many who thought it was foolish. This included the North Style Academy's own people — Heavenly Jade Academician Song Yuan. He was standing in the North Style team outside the pavilion. When Xu Mai revealed the Allpine Ruler, his expression became extremely gloomy.
The others were still trying to digest the huge amount of information that came in an instant. Whether it was the power displayed by the Dark Academy, or the betrayal of Lu Chenfeng, or the Allpine Ruler, a secret divine weapon that had been around for thousands of years, each of these pieces of information was explosive.
The deans of the other three academies looked at each other and realized that they should also say something. The crusade was jointly initiated by the four academies after all.
"Everyone." The South Sky Academy's dean, Zhou Xiao, was the first to stand out: "I think everyone has heard Dean Xu's words very clearly. This is also the main reason why we urgently gathered everyone to launch this crusade. A centipede dies, but it doesn't fall down. The Dark Academy has been scheming for dozens of years to steal the Allpine Ruler from the North Style Academy. They know the value of the Allpine Ruler, and they want it to bring them change. What we have to do is to stop them! "
"We have indeed neglected the Dark Academy for so many years. We don't know anything about their living conditions outside the pass or their strength. In this crusade, we must unite as one. We cannot afford to be careless, "Hai Yuesheng, the principal of Queyue Academy, also stood up and said.
Almost everything that could be said had been said by the two of them, leaving Black Tortoise's Dean Qiansu, who was left at the end, somewhat speechless. But he still had to show his attitude. Qiansu followed behind the two of them and stood forward for a while, saying, "Let's work hard together."
Then, it was time for the people outside the pavilion to express their opinions. The first to express their agreement were naturally the three leaders of the three empires. What they said was nothing more than "doing our best" or something along those lines. After that, there were more than four hundred academies. Naturally, it was impossible for each of them to stand up and give a speech. In the end, the ones who could say a few words were the teams that were ranked higher on the Reputation List. As Ba Li of Canyon Peak Academy had said, it was not his turn at such an occasion. He could only stand as conspicuous as possible to show the existence of Canyon Peak Academy.
"That's good," the four principals nodded in unison after listening to the opinions of the various parties.
"Then let's invite the people of the various academies to rest first. Will the principals of the various academies or the decision-makers come and discuss the matter together?" Xu Mai said.
All the academies in the world, including the factions of the three empires, had gathered tens of thousands of practitioners. Just the principals alone numbered in the hundreds. But everyone was a practitioner with sharp ears and eyes. With hundreds of people gathered together, there was no need to worry about any inconveniences in communication.
"Is everyone here?" Xu Mai asked after seeing everyone else leave, leaving only the leaders of the various academies outside the pavilion.
"Everyone," Zhou Xiao answered.
"Thank you for your hard work," Xu Mai said to the people left behind.
"It's no trouble at all. Principals, please feel free to let us know if there's anything we can use, "someone immediately said.
"After the Seven Star Trial, our four academies have tried our best to gather information about the situation of the Dark Academy outside the borders. Although it's limited, we have obtained some useful information. From what we know now, the Dark Academy outside the borders is not a monolithic entity. In the beginning, it had split into three factions, but in recent years, a fourth faction has risen, and we have reason to believe that this fourth faction should be a faction that the noble families within the borders have secretly cultivated outside the borders. "Xu Mai said.
"Principal Xu, there's no need to hide it." Outside the pavilion, Prince Yan Ming of Green Peak smiled bitterly, then turned to the people in front of him. "This family is the Lin family of the Green Peak Empire. After the Seven Star Trial, the Lin family has completely defected and fled to the borders. The specific reason and purpose are still unknown. "
The Lin family of the Green Peak was known as the number one family in the continent outside of the three great royal families. The family was huge and had many bloodlines. People were more familiar with the direct line of the Lin family who held important positions in the Eastern Capital. But other than that, the Lin family had many other branches and branches scattered throughout the Green Peak Empire. But all of them had completely disappeared in a single night. This was not like the Seven Star Trial, where the news could be suppressed. In the blink of an eye, it had shocked the entire court of the Green Peak Empire. For a time, there were many different opinions, but no one had a clear explanation.
At this moment, the mystery was revealed by Yan Ming. The degree of shock it brought was not any less than the news that Xu Mai had said earlier. In the Green Peak Empire, there were many people and things that had connections with the Lin family. Just the few academies in the Eastern Capital that were ranked highly on the Reputation List, which of their principals was not a guest of the Lin family? And they were all proud of it.
But now that they heard that the Lin family had committed such a crime, the expressions of the principals changed. If the Green Peak Empire really wanted to investigate this matter to the end, it would implicate many people. They, the principals, would not be able to escape responsibility.
At this moment, Yan Ming turned back to face the four principals. "The Lin family has many connections in the Green Peak Empire. We do not know how many of their accomplices are still hidden in the court. If we completely uproot the Lin family, we might be able to intimidate them. Otherwise, we do not know what kind of bloody storm will be stirred up. So this time, the Green Peak Empire will definitely do its best. I will also trouble the four principals to pay more attention to the situation of the Lin family. "
"We have just mentioned that the Lin family is supporting the Dark Academy as the fourth power. And from the people and things that were involved in the Seven Star Trial, we have reason to believe that the true leader is this power, which is the Lin family. So First Prince, our goal is the same! "Zhou Xiao, the principal of the Southern Sky Academy, said.
"Then what about the other three powers in the Dark Academy?" someone asked outside the pavilion.
"This is what we will discuss next," Xu Mai said.
