Pulled Out of Their Faction
Ever since Xue Mo was sent to the Sea of Innocence for treatment, the Battle of Geniuses had truly come to an end.
However, the yao and demons didn't agree to end the battle just like that, so none of their elites returned to their clans. They remained in Heavenly God City's Divine Martial Academy. However, they were grounded, and a seal had been placed around the academy, preventing its members from communicating with the outside world.
This was a joint decision between Great Emperor Xue Yang and the God Emperor's Estate. No one could oppose it.
However, that didn't mean everyone who'd come to the Battle of Geniuses had to abide by this agreement. For example, representatives from the Divine Mountains, Holy Lands, Demon Clans, and Yao Clans had all left Divine Martial Academy without incident. They hadn't been grounded.
Liu Jing was one of these special people. She knew about what happened that day.
Murong Xue, the society head who'd come to deceive Ye Zichen, revealed a grave expression. Jiang Wei and Murong Xue, in particular, were the most obvious.
Ye Zichen noticed the change in their expressions. He looked at Jiang Wei and the others in bewilderment, then arched his brows.
"What's going on with you guys?"
"I didn't realize you knew Her Highness Liu Jing," said Pang Zheng with an embarrassed smile.
"Shouldn't you all know?" Ye Zichen arched his brows. "That day, when Big Sister Liu 'er fought the demons' Holy Maiden, Lady Providence showed up and asked for her contact information. You were all there, too. What's so strange about that? "
"That's right, I almost forgot." Di Long forced a smile.
No matter how much they thought about it, they'd forgotten that Ye Zichen and Liu Jing knew each other. Furthermore, they'd exchanged contact information.
"While I was talking to you, I came up with an idea. I wanted to contact her and see if I could recruit some people from Four Directions Academy."
Ye Zichen laughed in embarrassment. In truth, the Aspirations Society, the Navigators, the Appearance Association, the Grizzly Bears, and Proud Heavens Academies had already sent enough people. However, whether it was the Xiao Family or the factions the God Emperor had raised, they each had an ocean's worth of clansmen.
With the Outsiders' support, Ye Zichen had more than enough resources to nurture talented people. He naturally wanted more people.
This was to bolster his own courage!
Compared to the Xiao Family or other first-rate family clans, the Upheaval Alliance was like comparing a child to an adult. However, when the number of people was large enough, it was like a group of children facing an adult. At that time, the fear in their hearts would be greatly reduced.
Ye Zichen was just like that. He wanted to use the sheer number of people to reassure himself.
Even with the support of the Aspirations Guild and the other guilds, he had still contacted Liu Qing to coax some people from the Four Directions Guild over. It was indeed a little too greedy.
"This … alright."
Jiang Yong and the others smiled sheepishly, but the nervousness in their eyes was obvious.
Murong Xue and Jiang Wei's foreheads were covered in a thin layer of sweat. Murong Xue was worried that the truth would be exposed, and so was Jiang Wei. However, he was even more worried that his lie would be exposed not long after he'd spoken it out …. That would hurt his pride and pride.
"What should we do now? Brother Ye has contacted Liu Jing. She … won't tell us, right?" Xu Chao's divine sense transmission simultaneously appeared in the sea of consciousness of all the presidents.
"I don't think so. Great Emperor Xue Yang personally said that we couldn't tell anyone. Her Highness Liu Jing probably wouldn't go against his will. However, nothing is absolute in this world. We still need to come up with a plan, "said Jiang Yong.
"Does anyone have a way to contact Liu Jing?" asked Di Long.
"We definitely don't, but Beibei should. Even if she doesn't, the people of the Sea of Innocence must have a way to contact the Four Directions Palace," said Jiang Yong's divine sense. "Xue 'er, contact Beibei. Tell her we can't keep this a secret any longer. Tell her to think of a way."
Ye Zichen scratched his head and glanced at Jiang Wei and the others. As soon as they mentioned Liu Jing, their expressions became indescribably strange.
Ye Zichen reached into his robes. He still hadn't received a reply.
Little did he know, while he was reading the jade slip, Murong Xue had already sent a message to Xue Beibei, who was in the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence.
… …
The Sea of Innocence.
As its name suggested, the Northern Divine Mountain's holy land, the Sea of Innocence, was an ocean.
A palace sat in its center. This was the residence of the Sea of Innocence's Xue Family.
The atmosphere inside and outside of the Xue Family was solemn. All of this was because the Sea of Innocence's second princess's fate was unknown.
Xue Mo lay on a bed in a luxurious room. Her face was pale, and her lips and eyes were a deep purple. There was even a purplish-red line running down her forearm.
She was no longer breathing, and her soul was on the verge of collapsing.
An old man with a mustache sat in front of Xue Mo's bed. From time to time, he checked Xue Mo's eyes and checked her pulse. In the end, he sighed and shook his head, then tapped nine of her acupuncture points.
"Hermit Emperor, Mo 'er …."
The Hermit Emperor.
He was the most famous doctor of the God Race.
However, ten thousand years ago, he'd lived in seclusion on the Western Divine Mountain. Rumor had it that he'd tried to treat the Five Elements Great Emperor, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't save the Five Elements Great Emperor. After the Five Elements Great Emperor's death was announced, he went into seclusion and founded the Hermit Palace.
With the Hermit Emperor in charge of the Hermit Palace, more than ninety percent of the god race's doctors were subordinates.
It was similar to the Southwest Divine Mountain's Supreme Hall, which was staffed by formation masters. The Southeast Divine Mountain's Great Void Temple was staffed by artificers. The Northwest Divine Mountain's Jade Lake was staffed by pill refiners.
Each of these forces had an existence with absolute rallying power in this domain.
However, unlike the other factions, the Hermit Emperor wasn't the leader of the other factions. He was still active within the god race, and had secluded himself from worldly affairs. The fact that Xue Yang had invited him here meant that he had a lot of face.
As for the one who'd spoken just now, it was a beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to Xue Mo.
Compared to Xue Mo, she was a bit more mature. However, her pretty face was filled with undisguisable worry.
The Hermit Emperor glanced at the people in the room ….
The people standing in this room were all people who could topple the entire god race with a single stomp of their feet. Did their presence here represent the future of the god race?
That cold, arrogant man in purple robes must be Bi 'an from the Four Directions Palace, right?
That woman with the wise look in her eyes must be the Profound Pavilion's Xuan Ji.
And the woman he was talking to right now must be Xue Yang's ex-wife. Judging from the mark on her sleeve, was she the one who founded the Jade Lake?
That old geezer from the Great Void Temple told me about it before I came.
And then there's the one I only saw briefly on the way here. She looks like Su Qingyan, the empress of the foxes!
Are they already trying to form a faction?
The Hermit Emperor muttered to himself. Finally, he glanced at Xue Mo on the bed.
He'd lived in seclusion for ten thousand years and no longer cared about the god race's future. The only thing that made him sigh was that, after ten thousand years of seclusion, he'd failed yet again.
Did they want me to go into seclusion again?
I pity this child. Who was it that injured her? How could they be so ruthless?
Could it be that the assailant wanted to use this method to bring the god race's future to the surface?
If that's what they wanted, they'd succeeded.
But the child had suffered.
He sighed inwardly, then met the woman's expectant gaze.
The Hermit Emperor gently covered Xue Mo with the blanket ….
