Flowing Flower Domain, Jade Imperial City
The approach of the Flamephoenix caused the hearts of the entire city to be filled with trepidation.
Ever since the news of the Flamephoenix's destination had spread, a large number of weak cultivators had chosen to flee the Jade Imperial City almost every day. In their opinion, although the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Dao Academy were powerful, they were still inferior to the Flamephoenix's ferocious might.
Not only did ordinary cultivators hold such a view, even the Marquis of Heaven felt the same way.
If not for the suppression of several Heavenly Kings, the many marquis of Heaven who had been summoned by the Heavenly Dao Academy would have long since fled like ordinary cultivators. Those ordinary cultivators had no confidence in fighting against the Flamephoenix, and they, the marquis of Heaven, did not have the slightest bit of confidence either.
However, they had no choice but to listen to the orders of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
From its founding until now, although the Heavenly Dao Academy had only had a short ten years of history, it had already become a colossus in the Crimson Radiance Sect, standing above all the other sects. Even the Principal of the Heavenly Dao Academy, Tang Huan, who had not appeared in the past few years, had not been affected in the slightest.
Many cultivators had a feeling that if they allowed the Heavenly Dao Academy to continue developing like this, this new power would definitely become stronger and stronger, while the various sects would gradually weaken. In time, perhaps all the sects that had existed for countless years would disappear from the Crimson Radiance Sect.
Of course, this kind of disappearance was not truly disappearance, but rather integration into the Heavenly Dao Academy. Their legacies would not be severed, and the ones who would inherit their legacies would also be the Heavenly Dao Academy.
In recent years, this trend had become more and more obvious.
In regards to this, the thoughts of many cultivators were extremely complicated. There were those who were happy to see it succeed, but there were even more who were extremely unwilling. However, they did not dare to resist, and could only silently keep it in their hearts.
This time, the Flamephoenix was clearly heading towards the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace.
Although they did not know the reason, countless cultivators were secretly celebrating in the various parts of the Crimson Radiance Sect. The reason why the Heavenly Dao Academy could exist was because of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace. If the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was destroyed, the Heavenly Dao Academy would naturally disappear into thin air, and the various sects would regain their freedom.
Because of this, the many marquis of Heaven who had been forcefully summoned were extremely passive.
"Vice Dean Xiao, are we really not going to hide?"
Jade Imperial City, within the main courtyard of the Heavenly Dao Academy, Chong Ze couldn't help but ask as he looked at Xiao Niao, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him.
At this moment, there were already dozens of figures gathered in the Sacred Academy's meeting hall.
Not only were there Xiao Niandie, Chong Ze, Sang Xiangyang, and Jin Hong, but there were also Nie Cangsheng, Yu Xinhe, Shen Hanyun, Yun Feihong, and the other elders and branch deans of the Heavenly Dao Academy. They were all the core and most powerful figures of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
After Chong Ze spoke, everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Nian Die.
Although there were four Heavenly King Vice Principals here, the person in charge was still Xiao Niandie. Even Nie Cangsheng, the previous Palace Chief of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, would often intentionally highlight Xiao Niandie's leading role. Even if he had different opinions, he would only bring them up in private.
After all, in the current Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, Xiao Niandie was the strongest person other than Tang Huan. With Tang Huan's cultivation speed, it was impossible for her to stay in the Crimson Radiance Sect forever. If Tang Huan were to leave, she would need Xiao Niandie to carry the burden.
Xiao Niandie's expression was calm as she slowly said, "We can escape, but the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace cannot. If we are here, there is still a chance to preserve the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace. If we all leave, the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace will also vanish into thin air." As she finished speaking, Xiao Niandie's tone was already rather heavy.
Of course she knew that if she were to escape now, she would have a great chance of survival. However, she couldn't bear to see the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace vanish into thin air under the tyranny of the fire phoenix.
"What if the sect is sealed?" Sang Xiangyang muttered to himself.
"I don't think it'll be of much use."
Xiao Niao shook her head and sighed, "That Flamephoenix definitely has the strength comparable to a peak-level Heavenly King. Even if we seal the sect, we won't be able to hold on for long. At that time, once the sect is destroyed, all the cultivators in the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace will vanish into thin air.
"Everyone, there is no need to worry too much. The fire phoenix is rushing towards the Jade Imperial City and the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, it is only a guess, we have no enmity with it, maybe it is passing by nearby, we do not need to panic right now, wait for another day, if it still does not change its direction after a day, we will immediately seal the sect, of course, before the sect is sealed, all the weaker cultivators will be dismissed, leaving only the Heavenly King and the Ninth Marquis!"
At this point, Xiao Niandie and Nie Cangsheng exchanged glances.
This was what they had discussed long ago.
They couldn't escape, but the young disciples of the sect could leave. For example, Xiao Mushuang, Liu Han Qing, Yu Qing Rong, Shen Bai and the others had long since left the Jade Imperial City. As long as they were still alive, even if the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was destroyed by the fire phoenix, there would still be a day for it to be rebuilt.
Hearing Xiao Niandie's words, Chong Ze, Sang Xiangyang and the others all heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's a pity that Principal Tang Huan isn't here, otherwise …"
Yu Xinhe couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
However, before she could finish speaking, her voice suddenly stopped. Everyone could naturally hear the unfinished meaning in her words. There was indeed a huge gap between Tang Huan's strength and the fire phoenix's, but Tang Huan was often able to create miracles. If he was here, perhaps she really would have a way to resolve this crisis.
When everyone heard this, they all subconsciously fell silent.
After a long while, Chong Ze could not help but ask: "Vice Principal Xiao, there has been no news of Principal Tang Huan for more than ten years, where exactly did she go? Could it be that she has already left the Crimson Radiance Sect? "
"Since Vice Principal Chong has asked, then I won't hide it from everyone." Xiao Niao pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Principal Tang Huan had already entered the 'Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace' to train more than ten years ago. However, his clone had always been cultivating in the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, and is now a middle level Heavenly King!"
"He went to the Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace?"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, especially the two Heavenly Kings, Chong Ze and Sang Xiangyang, who were even more shocked.
They were extremely clear about the dangers of the "Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace". In these past few years, they had thought of going to the "Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace" to train more than once, but in the end, they were still unable to make up their minds. They did not expect that Tang Huan had already entered more than ten years ago. However, when they thought about how Tang Huan had a clone, the two of them felt relieved. Even if the main body died in the Dragon Palace, the clone could still become the new main body.
"Then Principal Tang Huan is now …" Sang Xiangyang took a deep breath and said hesitantly.
"Of course he's still alive."
