In the distant sky, a ray of black and white Spiritual Energy suddenly shot over.
Like a sharp dagger, it sliced through the air and headed straight for Hu Shi's arm.
The speed of this attack was extremely fast. In an instant, it had already arrived in front of Hu Shi.
Without a doubt, this Spiritual Energy attack was extremely powerful. If Hu Shi still had the intention of killing Qin Yi, then this attack would have pierced through his arm and into his chest.
It was obvious that it was impossible for him to perish together with Qin Yi. At that moment, he immediately retracted his attack, and his body rapidly retreated backwards.
Bang!
The Spiritual Energy attack landed squarely on the ground in front of Hu Shi. Instantly, gravel flew everywhere and a dull thud was heard.
Hu Shi's heart palpitated. He did not doubt that if he was hit by this attack, only death would await him!
In the blink of an eye, an old figure suddenly appeared next to Qin Yi. The old man's hair and beard were all white. His wrinkles were like patterns that were deeply engraved on his face.
The old man wore a white robe and the red-crowned crane on his back was especially eye-catching. The face that usually carried a kind smile was now overflowing with murderous intent. Although his figure was old, his entire being was like a sharp sword that carried a chilling murderous aura.
"Now, I am standing in front of you. If you still want to kill my disciple, then you can try. In that case, you can give it a try. This old man wants to see whether your hands are faster or this old man's hands are faster! "
The White Crane at this moment had changed from its usual kind and benevolent countenance. It had become exceptionally domineering.
Without a doubt, Qin Yi had now become his reverse scale. Whoever dared to touch him, he would not rest until they were dead!
"Old man, if you did not sneak attack me, I would have killed this little b * stard just now! Do you really think that I am afraid of you? "
Hu Shi was obviously not someone who was willing to be at a disadvantage. Just now, he was forced to defend and it had already made him feel like he had lost face.
Most importantly, although he knew that the White Crane's strength far surpassed his, he did not care. It was as if the gap between them did not exist.
"Brother Hu, don't be impulsive. The situation now is not good."
Just at this moment, Zhuo Hong, who was next to him, reminded him again. Obviously, he clearly knew that the current situation had changed from two against one to a true two against two.
Most importantly, this person who had suddenly joined them was an expert who was stronger than them. If a conflict were to break out now, the best outcome that awaited them would be to be forcefully suppressed.
Obviously, these people from Yin-Yang Academy were not the slightest bit afraid of the so-called Abyssal Sacred Valley. In fact, there was even an obvious hostility.
Once they made a move, they would definitely not show any mercy.
Hu Shi obeyed Zhuo Hong's words. In the end, he withdrew his aura and stood behind Zhuo Hong.
Zhuo Hong took a step forward, a smile that could not be any more fake on his face. "Everyone from the academy, it seems like you have a deep misunderstanding of us. The two of us didn't come here to look for trouble. "
"Since you're not here to look for trouble, then leave my academy's mountain gate immediately!"
In front of outsiders, the white crane appeared to be extremely domineering. Without giving Zhuo Hong a chance to continue speaking, he waved his hand and directly ordered him to leave.
Evidently, these words had enraged Zhuo Hong. Although there was no expression on his face, the coldness between his brows deepened.
At this moment, he looked even more like a poisonous snake. It seemed like in the next second, he would launch a strong attack. Annihilating everyone in front of him.
Feeling the dangerous aura, Qin Yi instinctively raised his guard. After all, he was the weakest among these people. According to Zhuo Hong's personality, it was very likely that he would attack him.
After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Hong's face actually raised a smile again. "Since the academy is so upright, then I believe that the demonic beast is not here. I'm just going through the motions. If I've offended you, please don't take it to heart. "
His words made everyone present frown.
Everyone, including Hu Shi who was with him, obviously did not expect that he would say such words.
But very quickly, his purpose was once again exposed.
"It's just that the city walls need to be repaired, and this is a big matter for all the forces in the city. The city walls are guarded by all the citizens of the city. As a part of the Imperial Capital, shouldn't the academy do something? "
Zhuo Hong's face was full of smiles. Although it was fake, there was no reason for the others to continue arguing.
Moreover, his reason this time was indeed reasonable.
The three sects were not the only ones guarding the city walls. One had to know that Yin-Yang Academy was also under the protection of the city walls.
The three major sects wouldn't be foolish enough to take advantage of such a matter. As for the cost of repairing the city walls, they naturally had to collect it from the entire city.
This was what it meant to take from the people and use it for the people.
Without a doubt, Zhuo Hong had found an excuse that was hard to refute. Although it was clearly a rip-off, he had no choice but to obediently hand over the money.
Bai He was clearly aware of this as well. With a cold expression, he said, "Since it's to repair the city walls, the academy will naturally have to contribute money and manpower. However, I won't trouble you with collecting the money. I will send the spirit stones and resources to the palace in a moment. "
"You old fart!"
Zhuo Hong obviously did not expect Bai He to make such a move. Everyone knew that in the Yunhai Empire, only the three sects held true power. As for the imperial family, it was merely a decoration. At most, it was a symbol of the empire.
However, Bai He actually said that he wanted to send the spirit stones needed to repair the city walls to the palace. Without a doubt, this was a clear message to Zhuo Hong that he would not give them the chance to extort him.
However, Zhuo Hong could not do anything about this. Although the imperial family did not have any real power, in the Yunhai Empire, the imperial family was a flag, a symbol of the empire.
Even though the three sects had secretly held the real power of the empire in their hands, they did not dare to do anything out in the open.
Once this flag was cut down, it would be equivalent to usurping the throne. When that happened, they would become the empire's public enemy and be attacked by all the forces in the empire.
To be honest, even though the three sects had no respect for the imperial family, they still had to act like subjects on the surface. They had to be courteous and respectful to the imperial family and the emperor!
Therefore, when Bai He said these words, even though he knew that his plot had failed, Zhuo Hong did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
There was no longer any meaning to this trip, but Zhuo Hong was still unwilling. He was unwilling to let Yin-Yang Academy escape this calamity so easily.
