Everyone knew that it was easy to enter the Cloudy Brook Academy but hard to get out. Sending a batch of freshmen that they had managed to find after so much difficulty into the Cloudy Brook Academy to be locked up, wanting to pull them all out would be impossible without at least a few years' time. That would undoubtedly be sapping the patience of the Twelve Palaces and they were highly displeased with that. But the Battle of Deities Grand Meet was not a place where the Twelve Palaces had the final say. To be able to bring it forward was already a result they had obtained after much debate with the Nine Temples and if they were to continue to violate the rules of the Battle of Deities Grand Meet, the Nine Temples would not be happy to see that happen.
But now, for some unknown reason, the Cloudy Brook Academy had actually released all of them ahead of time which made the Twelve Palaces overjoyed. It must be known that besides the disciples who had just been admitted into the Cloudy Brook Academy this time, the other senior students who had been unable to graduate had also been released. Although those senior students were not all that talented, they were still a part of the Twelve Palaces' strength.
It could be said that the Twelve Palaces were currently in a state of joy, only lacking the beating of drums and gongs to welcome the return of the youths.
And the Palace Lords of some of the palaces were highly satisfied. That was also a good result.
Because they had managed to win over more outstanding youths in this Battle of Deities Grand Meet than any of the previous Battle of Deities Grand Meets.
But the return of the youths, was not something that every single palace was happy about.
Just like the Blood Fiend Palace at that moment.
Inside the Blood Fiend Palace, the Palace Lord of the Blood Fiend Palace, Gu Yi, was seated in the main hall. He was already advanced in age but just based on his looks, he looked to be a middle aged man around forty years of age, only the slight white at his temples betraying his hidden age. Gu Yi's face was handsome and the years had not taken a toll on him in the slightest, but had instead added a sense of steadiness and dominance to him.
Below the main hall, the various Elders of the Blood Fiend Palace stood on two sides, the atmosphere within the Blood Fiend Palace at that moment a little heavy.
They saw an elderly man with a pale face, his eyes filled with sorrow. He stood within the main hall as he looked at Gu Yi and said in a low voice: "I do not know what the Cloudy Brook Academy's intentions are with this move. Looking at the current situation, it seems that our Blood Fiend Palace is the one who is suffering the most."
"Oh? What do you mean? " Gu Yi arched up an eyebrow as he stared at the Elder who spoke. That Elder was none other than Lin Hao Yu's grandfather, Elder Lin. He was also an old man who had followed Gu Yi for a very long time and held a high position in the Blood Fiend Palace.
"In the previous Battle of Deities Grand Meet, quite a number of highly talented geniuses had appeared but most of them had been roped in by the other palaces. Although the number of people that came to our Blood Fiend Palace was quite a lot, but the number of the most elite among them was not that many. My Lord should know that in this year's Battle of Deities Grand Meet, not a single one of the six most outstanding people had joined our Blood Fiend Palace. Although we had already extended invitations to them, they had all rejected us with various reasons. If they were ordinary geniuses, it would be fine. However, the strength of those few people was rarely seen in a hundred years. Originally, they were going to stay in the Cloudy Brook Academy to cultivate for quite a long period of time and that was supposed to be a good thing as it would allow our Blood Fiend Palace to make some adjustments. But now, they have been released prematurely and their addition to the ranks of the other palaces will only strengthen the might of the other palaces. To our Blood Fiend Palace, it will be a great loss. " Elder Lin said with his brows tightly creased up. The few most outstanding youths in the Battle of Deities Grand Meet had all been tried very hard to win them over. But what made them want to vomit blood was that not a single one of those youths had agreed to join the Blood Fiend Palace.
At a time when the various palaces of the Twelve Palaces were fighting for new recruits, the disparity would become highly obvious.
