"The academy did not fork out a single cent and still wants us to fight for the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine. What a good idea." Du Shaofu was dumbfounded.
"If the academy wants to buy it, then there's no need for us to come. The Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine belongs to our academy. If we buy it back, not only will we lose face for the academy, we'll also lose face for all of us," Guo Shaofeng said calmly.
"If that's the case, then we can just snatch it if we can't buy it. After all, the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine belongs to Tianwu Academy," Du Shaofu said with a frown.
"That won't do. Since the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine is in the Dark City, according to the rules of the Dark City, it doesn't belong to our academy."
Wu Que shook his head and said, "The Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine is probably in the auction now. This time, the Mu Clan Fort is in charge of the auction. Even if the academy's elders go, they might not be able to snatch the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine. If we try to snatch it, it will be even more difficult. The Mu Clan Fort is not to be trifled with."
"Mu Clan Fort." Du Shaofu felt a sense of familiarity.
"There are one pavilion, one fort, and two sects in the Dark Forest. They are the Myriad Clouds Pavilion, the Mu Clan Fort, the Black Fiend Sect, and the Twin Hatred Sect. These four forces can be said to control the entire Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest is like a country, and the Dark City is in the Dark Forest. It is equivalent to the capital of the country. The four forces have always fought over it. However, after so many years, they each have their own territory and no one can suppress the other three forces.
Other than their own bases, the four forces' main focus is in the Dark City. Naturally, there are many experts there. It is said that there are Martial King experts in the four forces. "
Wu Que said to the crowd, "Therefore, if we want to snatch the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine, I'm afraid we won't have any chance. Even the entire Tianwu Academy will have scruples."
"Martial King Realm."
Du Shaofu was shocked. A Martial King Realm expert was an absolute expert in any place. If they really went to snatch the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine, the consequences would be unimaginable if they encountered a Martial King Realm expert.
"If that's the case, the Mu Clan Fort is also involved. We won't stand a chance." Du Shaofu frowned after pondering for a moment.
"That's not it either. The Mu Clan Fort should have nothing to do with this matter. It's just that the Ghost Claw put the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine under the Mu Clan Fort for auction. The Mu Clan Fort earns the commission from the auction. During this period, the Mu Clan Fort will naturally protect the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine," Fire Blade Beiming Feng said. His voice was quite sharp, like a blade radiance.
"Looks like Ghost Claw is pretty smart. He actually got the Mu Clan Fort on his side."
Du Shaofu's face turned solemn. A smart opponent was naturally harder to deal with. Moreover, Ghost Claw was vicious and cunning.
"The Mu Clan Fort doesn't dare to offend our Tianwu Academy. The forces in the Dark Forest won't openly go against our Tianwu Academy. With Tianwu Academy's rallying power and the experts that we have nurtured over the years, they have spread across the continent. Anyone who wants to touch Tianwu Academy has to think about the consequences," Li Yuyu said.
Li Yuxiao replied. His dark red eyes flickered as a faint demonic aura emanated from his body. He continued, "However, this is Darkness City. Over the countless years, the rules have already been set. Our Tianwu Academy is unable to control this place and the surrounding empires are also unable to do so."
Du Shaofu squinted his eyes. Tianwu Academy was just an academy and didn't have any powerful forces. According to Du Shaofu's knowledge, Tianwu Academy had never interfered in any matters. On the surface, Tianwu Academy was within the Stone Dragon Empire. However, the Stone Dragon Empire was no exception.
Tianwu Academy never interfered in any matters and thus, Tianwu Academy didn't have any powerful forces.
However, this didn't mean that Tianwu Academy didn't have any power. Over the years, there were countless disciples who graduated from Tianwu Academy. Those who were able to enter Tianwu Academy were all extremely talented and it wasn't hard to imagine their future achievements. After a long time, Tianwu Academy had already infiltrated every corner of the empire and even the entire continent.
Usually, those who graduated from Tianwu Academy wouldn't return to Tianwu Academy. However, if Tianwu Academy were to encounter a true crisis, as long as Tianwu Academy raised its arms, there would be countless people who would respond. Whoever dared to touch Tianwu Academy would definitely end up in a miserable state.
Over the years, no one knew whether the experts who had graduated from Tianwu Academy had reached a terrifying level of cultivation.
"Let's wait for them to return before we discuss this. I hope that they can find news of Ghost Claw. As long as we capture Ghost Claw, things will be much simpler," Wu Que said.
Everyone nodded. They could only wait for the general and Ghost Child to return before discussing this matter.
"Have you guys found a room to stay in? I heard that there aren't many rooms in the inn?"
Wu Que asked Du Shaofu, Li Yuxiao, Ouyang Shuang, and Luo Tianchen. From time to time, she would look at Du Xiaoyao, who was on Du Shaofu's shoulder, with fondness in her eyes.
"There are only two rooms left," Luo Tianchen replied.
Hearing this, Wu Que looked at Du Shaofu and the other two and said, "Then it won't be easy for you guys to make arrangements. How about this, I'll stay alone. Junior Ouyang, you can stay with me. As for the three of you, I won't care about you guys. You guys can make your own arrangements."
"Alright." Ouyang Shuang nodded and glared at Du Shaofu.
"Sigh."
Du Shaofu could only sigh. He was worried for Wu Que. Ouyang Shuang was a woman who liked women. If she stayed with Wu Que in the same room, and Wu Que was a woman who could make people's noses bleed, Du Shaofu didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
Everyone separated. Ouyang Shuang and Wu Que slept in the same room. Du Shaofu was alone. He brought Du Xiaoyao and the King Scaled Demon Tiger to his room and lay down on the bed.
However, Du Shaofu was still thinking about the eight million points. The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached.
"Sigh."
Du Shaofu sighed helplessly. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone to the Spirit Realm to exchange for pills and weapons. Now, it was too late to regret. He was afraid that even if he went to the Academy, he wouldn't be able to do anything. As the saying goes, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head.
"Don't sigh. I haven't sighed yet."
Du Xiaoyao sat on the chair in the room like a monkey. She curled her lips and said, "That guy called Guo Shaofeng just now had a Practitioner Weapon in his hand. I really want to eat his Practitioner Weapon."
"Practitioner Weapon."
Du Shaofu heard this and immediately glared at Du Xiaoyao. He said, "I don't care if you eat other people's weapons or Practitioner Weapons, but don't cause trouble for me. I've had enough headaches recently."
"Just don't cause trouble for me." Du Xiaoyao didn't hesitate to attack Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu rolled his eyes at Du Xiaoyao and ignored Du Xiaoyao. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't satisfied his appetite. He immediately stood up and said, "No, I have to eat something."
"Wuwu!"
When the King Scaled Demon Tiger heard Du Shaofu's words, it immediately whimpered and looked hungry.
"Alright, let's go together."
Du Shaofu nodded and stood up to leave. Just as he opened the door, he coincidentally saw the door next door open. Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen also walked out.
"I'm going to eat something. Let's go together."
Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen didn't seem surprised to see Du Shaofu.
"Alright, let's go together."
Du Shaofu didn't stand on ceremony. The three of them, together with the King Scaled Demon Tiger and Du Xiaoyao, went down to the third floor and arrived at the bustling first floor.
At this moment, the main hall was much emptier. The three of them found a quiet table and ordered a lot of meat.
"Did you guys notice that there are many strangers in the Dark City recently?"
"The Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine will be auctioned off in three days. I guess they're all here for the Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine. That's a precious treasure."
"Tianwu Academy has lost a lot of face this time. Not only was the Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine snatched away, they even dared to auction it off openly. They're simply looking down on Tianwu Academy."
"It's no wonder. Tianwu Academy isn't the same as before. I'm afraid there aren't many powers that are afraid of Tianwu Academy now."
"…"
The three of them sat down. Discussions could be heard from the surroundings, and many of them were about Tianwu Academy and the Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine. The three of them just smiled and ignored them.
"Do you guys want to drink?"
Luo Tianchen looked at Du Shaofu. He didn't treat this ferocious young man as a normal person.
"If you guys want to drink, you can drink a little. In the past, I only drank with my father," Du Shaofu said.
Then, Luo Tianchen ordered more wine and filled the table with meat and wine. The King Scaled Demon Tiger didn't stand on ceremony and waited for Du Shaofu to feed it.
On the other hand, Du Xiaoyao watched quietly. It was only interested in spiritual equipment and spiritual herbs.
The night was as dark as ink. Even though Darkness City was called Darkness City, most of the places were brightly lit in the night sky.
In the dark night, in a courtyard, a black-robed old man wearing a mask could be seen. His eyes were cold like a venomous snake, and he said to the hundreds of masked men in front of him, "The remaining members of Tianwu Academy are currently at the Four Seas Inn. They will raze the inn to the ground. Don't let them go if you can kill them."
"Yes!"
The hundreds of masked men had sinister images carved on them. A sharp and bloody aura burst out from them before they disappeared into the night sky.
"Keke, it's time for Tianwu Academy to end."
The black-robed old man sneered. His gaze was so cold that it made one's hair stand on end. Then, his figure disappeared into the night sky.
