It was good to have confidence, but the Palace Lord didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.
Many of these elders hadn't been involved in the affairs of the world for a long time. Their thinking had become somewhat rigid, and they still hadn't broken free from the Yin-Yang Academy's inertia of being number one under the heavens.
If this elder had truly understood the strength of the invading enemy, he definitely wouldn't have had the courage to say such a thing.
Blind confidence and blindly attacking were easy to say. Once the battle started, the Yin Yang Academy would definitely not be able to afford to lose if their strengths weren't equal.
After Shao Pengju became the grand elder, he had a tacit understanding with the palace head.
"Elder Liao, within the borders of the Azure Net Nation," he said, "no matter which faction it is, even if all of them join forces, the institute would be able to suppress them in a matter of minutes. However, these enemies aren't as easy to deal with as you think. Fighting one battle is easy, but the academy can't afford to lose in the current situation. If we lose the first battle, the atmosphere within the academy will collapse first. "
"It can't be that serious, can it? Great Elder, you're exaggerating things a little to scare us. "
Shao Pengju sighed. "Most of the academy's middle level and young disciples are related to the powerful factions of the Azure Net Nation. Right now, the situation in the Azure Net Nation is under the control of the mastermind. Most of the powerful factions have already thrown their lot in with the Yun Family. Of course, they're forced to do so. However, who can guarantee that when the situation in the academy is out of control, the fake allegiance of these powerful forces won't turn into real allegiance? "
If the powerful factions of the Azure Net Nation stopped supporting the Yin-Yang Academy and abandoned the Yin-Yang Academy, then the Yin-Yang Academy would collapse internally.
This was the most embarrassing aspect of the Azure Net Nation's Yin Yang Academy.
The Yin-Yang Academy had been working hard to solve this problem for years, searching for young geniuses from the Yanluo Region and other nations, even digging up good seedlings from the grassroots.
However, these measures had been implemented too recently, and weren't enough to change the academy's dependence on the various factions of the Azure Net Nation.
None of the elders were fools.
Many of the elders who didn't pay attention to worldly affairs also realized the severity of the situation.
"Isn't this a bit too absurd? Since when did our academy's control become so terrible? Where did this enemy come from? "
"Sigh, who would've thought that our academy would be powerless against the Yun Family's rebellion. Such a powerful hand has been lurking in the Azure Sieve Kingdom this entire time, but we've never discovered it. No matter how much it grows, it's finally going to shake the academy's foundation. "
On the other hand, Elder Ke who'd always been on bad terms with Shao Pengju spoke, "Everyone, it's meaningless to say all of this now. It was obvious that the mastermind behind this was very cunning. He had been hiding for so many years without being discovered. This was not the responsibility of just one person. We are all elders of the academy. This is a dereliction of duty on everyone's part. "
Elder Ke's direct disciple was Ou Yanghong. Ever since Ou Yanghong had been forgiven by Qin Yi, he had been very obedient.
Elder Ke also wanted to use this opportunity to repair his relationship with Shao Pengju. He also knew that he was no match for her. If he continued to fight with Shao Pengju, his future in the Yin-Yang Academy of the Azure Sieve Kingdom would only become increasingly bleak.
He was a smart person and naturally hoped to use this opportunity to show his enthusiasm for the affairs of the academy. Only then would he be able to regain the Palace Head's trust and receive Shao Pengju's forgiveness.
"Heh, Old Ke, we don't like hearing this. The elders of the academy have their own responsibilities. Us old men only focus on our research. We don't have to worry about what happens outside. "
"That's right. If we have to be busy inside and outside, we might as well take the position of First Elder."
Shao Pengju frowned when he heard this. They were targeting him, Shao Tianze.
However, the Palace Master of the Azure Net Palace said, "Everyone, if you must find someone to vent your anger on, then come at me. Elder Shao's promotion to First Elder has only happened in recent years. There's no reason for him to be the scapegoat. "
No one had the confidence to accuse the Palace Head of the Azure Sieve Palace.
Actually, everyone knew that if the mastermind hadn't hidden himself too well, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hide from the Yin-Yang Academy's informants all over the world.
It could only be said that this enemy was too cunning.
"Palace Lord, the most pressing matter at hand is how to beat back the enemy, and how to unite the entire Collegium, and how to unite all of us. There's no longer any meaning in finding out who is responsible. "The elder who spoke was clearly someone who saw the bigger picture.
These words received the approval of most people.
"That's right, Palace Head. If you have any plans to repel the enemy, please tell us. Everyone will listen to you and be united. Let's get through this crisis first."
If the crisis before them could be so easily overcome, the Palace Head wouldn't be frowning so much. It was precisely because he understood his opponent that he knew that this battle was definitely not going to be easy.
The enemy's strength and morale could be said to have far surpassed the Yin-Yang Academy of the Moon Seal Mountain.
Even without considering the possible cracks that might appear within the academy, the disparity in strength alone was still very large.
If they followed the previous suggestion and fought the enemy directly, it would definitely hasten the destruction of the Yin-Yang Academy.
The Palace Head was silent for a long time before speaking. "Everyone, I have always believed that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated."
"The enemy's origins are unknown, but from the strength they have displayed, their battle strength is at least three to five times that of the academy. Moreover, they have three to five times more powerful cultivators than us. Under these circumstances, it is definitely not wise to fight them head-on. In my opinion, we must rely on the terrain of the Moon Seal Mountain, the protective formation, and the defense tower of the Yin-Yang Academy to contend with the enemy. "
This was a euphemistic way of putting it. To put it bluntly, it was to turtle up and defend. They would make use of the terrain and their strengths to contend with the enemy.
This was a relatively safe strategy and one that suited the current situation.
However, for the Yin Yang College, who had always been the strongest in the Azure Net Nation, to choose such a conservative strategy was already difficult for them to accept.
Since when did the Yin-Yang Academy need to adopt such a conservative strategy? Where was the arrogance of the Yin-Yang Academy? Where was the dignity of the Yin-Yang Academy?
The Palace Head clearly had no intention of stopping. He continued, "Defense is the first step. For the second step, we must be prepared for the worst. Once the Moon Seal Mountain is breached, we must select the talents of the academy and protect them with our lives. The academy can be destroyed, but the legacy of the academy must not be destroyed.
