They had sent out invitations to heroes and gathered all the academies in the world. They had worked so hard to come to this bitter cold place, but in the end, they didn't even meet the enemy face to face. It was as if they had entered the final stage.
Many of the young students of the academy felt that it was a great deal of talk but little action. They had heard many stories of great battles in the cultivation world. Young people yearned for heroes and battles. They longed to become famous in a single battle and be admired by the world. Unfortunately, with the four great academies overseeing the world and the three great empires, there was no more soil to create legends.
The expedition this time was too much for the leaders of the academies like Xu Mai, but for the young people who hated stability, this was the scene they had been longing for for a long time.
In the end, this was it?
Different students from different academies, as long as they had this kind of mentality, they were not shocked by this earth-shattering grand order. It was very regretful that the enemy actually ran away with their tails between their legs. Was this kind of opponent worth going to war like this? As for the various searches and hunts arranged by the academies, these people were not very enthusiastic.
All the academies had sent people out, and the deans were naturally in the middle. At their position, they no longer had the hot-bloodedness of young people. If the matter could be resolved without bloodshed, then it would be the most welcomed result. No one wanted to experience the bitter battle at the Big Dipper Seven Stars Valley again.
However, there were still many doubts in the current situation. The North Style Academy couldn't reveal the matter of Lu Ping, so they could only look at the others making wild guesses about what had happened, giving them a headache. As for their side, they were most concerned about the whereabouts of the Allpine Ruler.
"During the entire time I was inside, I didn't sense any signs of the Allpine Ruler." Ruan Qingzhu said.
The Allpine Ruler was an extremely secretive supreme divine weapon. Only the seven academicians and the primogenitors knew of its existence and use. Chen Chu could naturally grasp this information after becoming the primogenitor of Alioth Peak. However, from the enemy's plan, the Allpine Ruler was their ultimate goal, and Chen Chu infiltrated Big Dipper to achieve this goal. This meant that the enemy already knew of the existence of the Allpine Ruler and even knew its use. Otherwise, how could they have patiently laid out such a grand scheme to seize it?
Chen Chu's infiltration was only part of the plan, and the most direct reward of becoming the first disciple was knowing the exact location of the Allpine Ruler. It was even possible that the other party already knew about this. And the true purpose of becoming Yu Heng's first disciple was very likely to destroy the Seven Elements Relief Great Order.
Regarding this matter, the North Style Academy had never stopped investigating after the battle at the Seven Stars Valley. However, Chen Chu had been lurking in the North Style Academy for too long. It was very difficult to find clues from his past movements. What's more, when the academy tried to investigate Chen Chu's past, they realized that he had very little information on him.
Without reliable information, the judgment made might not be accurate. For example, the Allpine Ruler. They originally thought that the Dark Academy wanted it to create a Seven Star Valley in their bitter cold land to recuperate. But now, what everyone saw was that they were destroying the base that they had operated for many years. From Lu Ping, they also learned that the Allpine Ruler was not a conspiracy of the entire Dark Academy, but the actions of a fourth path that they had split off from. And this path seemed to be supported by the Green Peak Lin Family.
There was no need to reveal this point. After Xu Mai explained it to the other three deans, their expressions began to change.
"Who is the master and who is the servant, this question needs to be clarified." Black Tortoise Qiansu said.
"From what we know, this fourth path of the Dark Academy should be a hidden force of the Lin Family outside the borders." Xu Mai said.
"So now the Allpine Ruler has fallen into the hands of the Lin Family." Haiyue Academy's Hai Yuesheng said.
"Then some of the deductions from before might not be valid." Southern Sky Academy's Zhou Xiao frowned and said, "With the Dark Academy as the main force, then using the Allpine Ruler to change the environment of the bitter cold land in order to recuperate and rise again makes sense. But if it's the Lin Family, their goal might be much more complicated. "
"The Lin Family is already a prestigious family second only to the royal families of the three empires. If they want to go further … Could it be that they want to use the Allpine Ruler to create an empire here?" Haiyue Academy's Hai Yuesheng said.
"Giving up so many years of hard work and accumulation in the borders and running to this barren land to start a rebellion, isn't that a little neglecting the essentials?" Zhou Xiao said.
Xu Mai also shook his head and said, "The Allpine Ruler can create an academy, but not an empire."
"Maybe his goal isn't the Allpine Ruler." Zhou Xiao suddenly said.
"Oh?" The other three looked at him.
"Our four academies already lost many elites in the battle at Seven Stars Valley. And this time, the deans personally led the team and invited many academies in the borders. I think this large custom-made plan was specially prepared for us. They are waiting for us to enter the Boundary River before starting. And this is not the enemy's defense, but offense. This is another vicious plan after the battle at Seven Stars Valley. The Allpine Ruler is just a reason he gave us, a reason that we have to come. "Zhou Xiao said.
"What benefit does destroying the World Academy bring to the Lin Family?" Qiansu frowned.
Then, the four deans looked towards a certain direction.
There, the Qingfeng Empire's prince Yan Ming, the Xuan Army Empire's prince Gu Qimao, and the Changfeng Empire's deans, Zhu Xie, were discussing something.
Right now, the ones who were most unhappy with the existence of the four academies should be the rulers of these three empires. Different from the other academies that were already under their control, the four academies were all extraordinary existences. Even though the other three academies, excluding the North Style Academy, had strengthened their cooperation with the three empires, they were still not directly under the control of the empires.
So when the Lin Family used the Qingfeng Empire's name to invite the other three academies to destroy the North Style Academy, the three academies readily agreed. While the North Style Academy still maintained their original intentions, they completely believed that the Qingfeng Empire had this intention and motive.
Then what about the other three academies?
Even though they were changing and began to find new ways to interact with the empires, they were still not willing to be completely under the control of the empires like the other academies. Just this point alone was enough of a reason for them to be destroyed.
So, this was the plan?
"Let's not be overly suspicious for now." Xu Mai said.
"That's true." Zhou Xiao nodded.
"But we still have to be on guard." Hai Yuesheng said.
Xu Mai sighed, but he knew that Hai Yuesheng was right.
They would no longer have the youthful spirit, but this kind of suspicion and precaution was the problem they always faced. Even if the four of them stood together, how much trust could there be between them?
Perhaps they thought of this problem at the same time, the four deans suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing through it but not saying it out loud, let's just have a tacit understanding.
