Time passed day by day. While Qin Yi was working hard and living the same life, the outside world was surging with undercurrents.
The Abyss Sacred Valley had fallen behind after the sect's disciple assessment. In addition to the fact that they were guilty of harboring a red-robed person, they were ostracized and held accountable by the entire empire.
Clearly, at this time, with the support of the two Five Cauldron Sects, the Luo Fu Great Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace, these people were very happy to do this kind of thing.
For a time, calls for the Abyss Sacred Valley to be demoted spread to every corner of the capital city. According to the sect's disciple assessment rules, they had to be demoted for being one of the Five Cauldrons Sects.
However, the Abyss Sacred Valley had been at the top of the Cloud Sea Empire for a hundred years. In these hundred years, their strength had also skyrocketed.
Although they were restricted by the rules and pressured by the other two Five Cauldrons Sects, the Abyss Sacred Valley still insisted on not being demoted and giving up their spot.
Looking at their formation, it was obvious that they were ready to fight to the death with the other two Five Cauldrons Sects.
This behavior angered the other two sects. However, just as they were about to join forces to attack the Abyss Sacred Valley, the Valley Master of the Abyss Sacred Valley, Lu Fengyao, took the initiative to meet with Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu.
Other than the three of them, no one else knew the content of their conversation. However, after this meeting, the attitude of the two sects changed drastically. From the initial hostility and preparation to attack, they acquiesced. There were even faint signs of support for the Abyss Sacred Valley.
The Abyss Sacred Valley also put away their previous tough attitude. Clearly, they knew that being too strong in such a situation would not do them any good.
In the end, under the insistence of the masses, the Abyss Sacred Valley became a quasi Five Cauldrons Sect.
In the original hierarchy of power, this level did not exist. However, in order to maintain their status, it was possible for the giants to do anything.
The quasi Five Cauldrons Sects were the sects between the Four Cauldrons Sects and the Five Cauldrons Sects.
As long as the situation calmed down and the Abyss Sacred Valley recuperated, they would be able to return to their original position.
However, there was no doubt that the Abyssal Sacred Valley, which had suffered great losses during this period of time, had no choice but to lower their prideful heads and swallow the humiliation for some time.
As for the Luofu Great Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace, after the sect's disciple assessment, other than when they were preparing to forcefully suppress the Abyss Sacred Valley, they didn't make the slightest noise.
After the sect disciple assessment, the situation in the Imperial Capital seemed to have stabilized, showing a peaceful situation.
However, under this peacefulness, there was an indescribable pressure. It was like the calm before the storm, and it was so heavy that it made it difficult for one to breathe.
At this time, the Yin-Yang Academy, which was originally incompatible with the city, seemed to have adhered to its maverick principle. While the other sects were silent, it began to make a big move.
The originally sealed mountain gate was finally opened to the world once again and began to recruit disciples.
Hearing this news, coupled with the strong performance of Yin-Yang Academy's disciples in the Sect Disciple Assessment not long ago, Yin-Yang Academy, which had been silent for many years, suddenly became a hot topic in the entire city.
Although the academy's somewhat harsh entry requirements were announced in the recruitment announcement, there were still many warriors who started to rush to the Yin-Yang Academy to register. However, there were still many martial artists who rushed to the Yin Yang Academy to register after hearing this news. They wanted to join the academy.
The academy, which had been deserted for many years, was now bustling with activity.
Most importantly, when the academy was recruiting disciples, the Cloud Emperor, who was the symbol of the empire, actually brought many young guards with him and rushed to the academy with great fanfare.
In the end, all the guards he brought with him became disciples of the academy.
This action of the Cloud Emperor was obviously announcing the close relationship between the Imperial City and the Yin-Yang Academy to the world.
However, this didn't come as too much of a surprise. After all, during the sect disciple assessment, among the outstanding disciples of the Yin-Yang Academy, there were already disciples of the Imperial City. From here, one could already catch a glimpse of a clue.
However, today, the Cloud Emperor had publicly expressed his position.
As the symbol of the Yunhai Empire, the Imperial Family had always been neutral. Today, the Imperial Family had actually chosen a side. The most important thing was that the sect they decided to support was not the Luofu Sect or the Mirage Flower Palace, which were two of the Five Cauldrons Sects. Instead, it was the Yin-Yang Academy that no one thought highly of.
This was tantamount to slapping the face. In the eyes of the two Cauldrons Sects, what kind of humiliation was this?
Just when everyone was prepared to face the anger of the two Cauldrons Sects, the Luofu Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace did not react at all. They didn't even say a word to the outside world. It was as if they already knew this and were not the least bit surprised. It could even be said that they had tacitly agreed.
However, anyone could tell that this kind of abnormal behavior was definitely not what they really wanted to do. They were definitely brewing something. It was like a storm that was gradually forming. Once it exploded, the destructive power would be incomparably shocking.
Regarding this, the Yin-Yang Academy and the Imperial City did not seem to notice. Their recruitment of disciples was still in full swing.
In less than a month's time, the number of disciples in the academy had already expanded to more than ten thousand. However, compared to the scale at its peak, there was still a big gap. The strength of the recruited disciples was also intermingled. However, this indirectly showed that the current academy was not what it used to be.
The institutions that had been gradually abolished because of the lack of manpower were now once again reactivated. After going through another half a month of chaos, the academy was finally on the right track. All the institutions in the sect began to operate again.
It was like a broken machine that had been reformed and replaced with new parts. It stood up again.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Academy was like an arrow that had been placed on the bowstring. It had already begun to gather strength. And their spearhead was aimed at the few giants that had stepped on them for a hundred years.
