Du Shaofu involuntarily grabbed the Qiankun Bag in his hand. It looked like an ordinary Qiankun Bag. Other than the fact that it exuded an ancient aura, there was nothing special about it. He asked, "Grand Elder, what is this?"
"I don't know what's inside either. The ancestors of the academy have said that if the Tianwu Academy were to face a calamity one day, it would definitely be because of the item in the Qiankun Bag. The item in the Qiankun Bag is related to the entire Central Region, as well as the rise of our Tianwu Academy. However, the ancestors of the academy have placed a seal on the Qiankun Bag. Only a fated person can open it," Grand Elder Qing Yu explained to Du Shaofu.
Hearing this, Du Shaofu used his mental energy to probe the Qiankun Bag. However, he realized that his mental energy was like a rock sinking into the ocean.
Grand Elder Qing Yu seemed to have sensed that Du Shaofu's mental energy was probing the Qiankun Bag. He smiled and said, "There's no need to probe it. All of us have already tried, including the ancestors of the academy. In order to open the Qiankun Bag, other than a fated person, it's said that there are some special conditions that must be fulfilled. Otherwise, it's impossible to open it."
"What a mysterious item."
Du Shaofu retracted his mental energy and slowly exhaled. He planned to return the Qiankun Bag to Grand Elder Qing Yu.
"Keep this Qiankun Bag well. Don't let it fall into the hands of others. Remember what you said. No matter what, the legacy of Tianwu Academy cannot be broken. It must be passed on."
Grand Elder Qing Yu looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Later on, there will be elders who will arrange for your departure in the teleportation glyph array. Because the teleportation glyph array can teleport a large number of people each time, and the exits are scattered all over the place, the ancestors of the academy could only set up the teleportation glyph array in various parts of the Dark Forest. The distance can't be further. I'm afraid that the invaders will also take this into account.
Since those people have come to invade, they won't let it go so easily. They will most likely eliminate the source of trouble. Therefore, after you leave, you must be careful. "
"Grand Elder, who is it that dares to invade Tianwu Academy? Could it be that even the Grand Elder and the inner elders are unable to contend against them?" Du Shaofu asked.
"It doesn't matter who they are. Regardless of who they are, their target is the item in your hands. You must keep it well. That is the hope for the rise of our Tianwu Academy," the First Elder said to Du Shaofu.
"Chi."
As the First Elder's voice fell, a figure landed outside the door and walked straight in.
The figure of the newcomer was also very old, at least eighty or ninety years old. His appearance was not much different from that of the Grand Elder of Green Island. His face was difficult to describe. His old face looked as though it had gone through four seasons, wind, frost, rain, and dew. His hair was messy, but his hair was extremely black, and his eyes were as vast as the sea.
"Greetings, Elder Zhou."
Upon seeing this old man, Du Shaofu immediately bowed.
Du Shaofu naturally recognized this old man. He was Elder Zhou of the Talisman Institute. However, to the elders, they all addressed him as Elder Zhou. Back then, he had to thank Elder Zhou for the benefits of the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. The Huangji Pill that his drunkard father took away was also refined by Elder Zhou.
Elder Zhou glanced at Du Shaofu and nodded slightly. After that, his gaze immediately shifted to the Grand Elder of Green Island. With a complicated expression on his face, he asked, "Have you explained everything to this lad?"
The Grand Elder of Green Island nodded and said to Elder Zhou, "Yes, I have. How is the situation with the teleportation array formation?"
"A little problem has occurred. The consumption of resources is much higher than expected. We've already teleported half of them, but the remaining resources are only enough for the last round. At most, we can only teleport about a hundred people." After Elder Zhou finished speaking, he let out a deep breath from his throat.
Hearing this, the gazes of all the inner institute elders turned extremely grave. The situation was grim.
Then, all of their gazes landed on the Grand Elder of Green Island, waiting for his decision.
"You make the decision," Grand Elder of Green Island said to Vice Elder Zhuge Qiangbang.
Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang's gaze flickered. He then looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Du Shaofu, let's go."
After saying that, he walked out of the door.
Du Shaofu glanced at the inner institute elders before following behind Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang.
Seeing Du Shaofu's departing figure, Elder Zhou's gaze flickered. He then said to the Grand Elder of Green Island, "Have you made your decision?"
"He is the son of that brat Du Tingxuan. The student has surpassed the master. If our Tianwu Academy has any hope of rising again, I believe that he will be able to do it." Grand Elder Green Island said to Elder Zhou, "After so long, no one has been able to surpass him. Back then, I thought that his father could do it. But now, he seems to be more suitable than his father. Moreover, didn't you choose him long ago?"
Elder Zhou didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "I hope that they will be able to leave behind a legacy for the academy and avoid this calamity."
Grand Elder Green Island looked at everyone and said, "Since it has been arranged, it's time for us to exercise our muscles. All these years, the people outside have really thought that our Tianwu Academy is easy to bully."
Grand Elder Green Island paused for a moment and a flicker of light surged out from his deep eyes. His withered body, which seemed to be on the verge of death, was like a suppressed volcano. Surging energy gushed out from him as he said, "Even if our Tianwu Academy isn't as great as it used to be, it isn't something that anyone can touch. No matter who it is, if they want to touch our Tianwu Academy, they will have to pay the price in blood!"
...
It was already noon and Du Shaofu followed Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang all the way back to the plaza of the Tianwu Talisman Zone.
Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang didn't say anything along the way and had a grave expression on his face. As such, Du Shaofu didn't say anything and quietly followed behind him.
On the plaza, after the teleportation array, there were over ten thousand freshmen, seniors, and Write-In Students. Only half of them were left.
However, there were still about seven to eight thousand people left. It was still a huge number and all of them were standing on the plaza. Discussions could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
Some were terrified, some were grave, and some were quiet.
Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang landed and looked at the remaining students on the plaza. His gaze swept across them one by one. In the end, he clenched his teeth and said, "All students on the Martial Ranking, step forward."
Hearing this, Bu Dian Shanhe General, Ling Xuan, Jade Maiden, Gu Xinyan, Nine Nether Junior, Ghost Child, Black Eagle, Tang Wu, Demon Slayer, Li Yuxiao, and the others all stepped forward.
Du Shaofu had originally landed beside Vice Principal Zhuge. Hearing Vice Principal Zhuge's words, he also walked to the center of the crowd. He was also on the Martial Ranking.
There were originally a hundred people on the Martial Ranking, but people like Li Xue and Ouyang Shuang were not in the academy.
There were also quite a few people like Li Xue and Ouyang Shuang who were on the Martial Ranking who weren't in the academy either. Just like the general, Ghost Child, and the others, they had all just returned to the academy.
When the Martial Ranking disciples stepped forward, Du Shaofu's eyes shone. Of the hundred students on the Martial Ranking, there were only about sixty people present.
In the crowd, Du Shaofu specially looked around and discovered that Qi Ye Xi wasn't there either. She should have returned home to visit her family after the Tianwu Talisman Zone went into seclusion.
Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang glanced at the crowd and then at the plaza again. He said, "Students of the Talisman Institute, step forward as well."
Hearing this, the students of the Talisman Institute also stepped forward. Han Chao, Tu Tong, Bing Na, and the others were among them. However, there were only about forty people in total.
"Little girl, and you guys, come forward as well." Zhuge Qiangbang looked at Du Xiaoqing, Du Xiaoyao, and Xiaohu and said.
"Brother."
Hearing this, Du Xiaoqing, Du Xiaoyao, and Little Tiger went to Du Shaofu's side.
"You must remember that you are all students of Tianwu Academy and the pride of Tianwu Academy."
Vice Principal Zhuge looked at the hundred people from the Martial Ranking and Talisman Institute and squeezed out a smile. He said, "Enter the teleportation array first."
"Vice Principal Zhuge, what about the rest of you?"
Du Shaofu raised his head and asked. When he was in the pagoda, he had more or less heard about the general situation. It seemed like the teleportation array could only teleport the last round. If that was the case, there were still many students, teachers, elders, and inner institute elders who couldn't leave the academy.
"We will make our own arrangements. You should leave first. Remember what you promised the Supreme Elder of Green Island. Quickly enter the Teleportation Charm Array. There is not much time left. Don't waste any more time," Vice Headmaster Zhuge said to Du Shaofu.
"Hualala …"
The Space Teleportation Glyph Array was activated. The earth quaked and the mountains shook. Amidst the sun-like light, there were dazzling Glyph Inscriptions surging. Space was directly distorted. In the end, the Glyph Inscriptions formed a Space Gate in front of them.
Outside the spatial door, the surrounding space fluctuated like a tide. Spatial waves rippled in all directions.
"Quickly enter the teleportation array. Quickly!" Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang said to Du Shaofu and the others.
Everyone looked at each other. General, Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child, Wu Que, Guo Shaofeng, and the others all looked at Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu had no choice but to nod his head when he saw everyone's gazes. After which, he walked into the teleportation array.
