"If one does not handle it well, I’m afraid the academy won’t be destroyed by the Heavenly Cang Demon Roc.
Instead, it will be destroyed by these people," Xu Zimei said.
"We, the Heavenly Dao Academy, have also helped many people. I don’t believe that in this moment of crisis, no one will come to our aid," Bai Lin said with a heavy look.
"Nowadays, everyone is only concerned with their own immediate problems.
If the Heavenly Dao Academy is in trouble and they do not loot in the flames, isn’t that a form of indirect help to the academy?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"You expect them to come to our rescue, but I think it’s unlikely.
It might still be possible for some Loose Cultivators like Mad Blade, but the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect probably won’t."
"Why not?" Bai Lin still asked unwillingly.
"Every decision of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect will affect the future direction of the Sect Gate.
Unless it’s a desperate gamble, they will not choose to make enemies with so many Imperial Rule Immortal Sects," Xu Zimei explained.
"Of course, this is just my guess, maybe there are indeed those with a strong sense of justice who will really come."
The two were chatting, at this moment, the sky had already changed color.
The sound of "thunderous rumbles" erupted from the firmament.
It was evident from the outside that someone was attacking the academy’s purple barrier.
Although the purple barrier was strong, it eventually couldn’t withstand the relentless attacks for long.
Following that, the sound of shattering arose, and an overwhelming and potent force pressed down from above.
Countless figures, with vast and towering waves, stood in the sky above.
Each of these figures shone as bright and dazzling as the fierce sun, extremely intense.
The issue with the Heavenly Dao Academy had escalated significantly, affecting a wide area.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the attention of the entire Continent was focused here.
Whether it was the forces involved in the great battle or those still observing, all were watching this vast land.
"I come here, and yet the Heavenly Dao Academy has no one to greet us?" a loud laugh echoed from the crowd above.
"It’s True Man Pudu from the Merciful Ferry Sect," Bai Lin introduced to Xu Zimei on the side.
"The first War General under Mage Cihang."
Mage Cihang was also a Great Emperor, but she preferred not to use the imperial title, thus she was known as Mage.
"It really is lively," Xu Zimei looked up at the sky, at each of those imposing and vast figures.
He laughed and said, "Merciful Ferry Sect, Ancient Dragon Dynasty, Pure Yang Immortal Sect, Heavenly Nether Sect, Heavenly Emperor Gate, Blaze Flame City, and Canyue Empire."
These seven forces, the first five were the Imperial Rule Immortal Sects of the Central Continent.
Whereas Blaze Flame City and Canyue Empire that followed were more interesting.
Blaze Flame City was merely a city, but within it resided a true Great Emperor.
The Flame Emperor, who controlled the myriad flames of the world, left behind age-old legends in his youth.
Standing amid the storms between Mad Clan and Myriad Beasts Clan, was the small city.
The incessant warfare between the two clans inevitably made Blaze Flame City a target.
Legend has it that during his youth, the Flame Emperor alone defended the city, making both the Mad Clan and the Myriad Beasts Clan wary of further offenses.
In that land scorched by war, Blaze Flame City might be the most peaceful place.
Both Blaze Flame City and Canyue Empire were located in the Western Continent.
And both had produced a Great Emperor, and calling them Imperial Rule Immortal Sects was not an overstatement.
This time the seven great Imperial Rule Immortal Sects came to attack the Heavenly Dao Academy, but they did not use their full force.
Instead, they sent some representatives.
Just like Thunder Dazzle Ancestor from Heavenly Emperor Gate and True Man Pudu from Merciful Ferry Sect, other forces also sent some powerful figures.
"Nine Suns Loose Man, Ancestor Aolong, Heaven Burning War General, Elder Ming, Sage Banyue…" Bai Lin listed the names of these people.
And sneered, "Plus these top-tier forces around, Red Leaf Valley, Heavenly River Supreme Sect, Falling Cloud Sect...."
"They really think our academy is easy to bully."
"You seem to know quite a lot of people," Xu Zimei chuckled.
"In fact, we had already received news about the forces attacking the academy.
I had specifically looked up some information before, so naturally, I knew some," Bai Lin replied.
"Wait," Xu Zimei leaned against a stone bench and said calmly.
"Wait? Just sit and do nothing?" Bai Lin replied.
"Our task is merely to guard the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and wait for those who want to plunder it," Xu Zimei said.
Bai Lin nodded slightly, and slowly took down the leather whip from her waist.
Flames of fiery red burned on the whip.
At this moment, Heavenly Dao Academy seemed to have heard the question from True Man Pudu.
This time, Li Changhe didn’t come forward, but instead Venerable Nu arrived, stepping through the air.
His gaze surveyed the many beings present.
Even though any individual here was a one-in-ten-thousand powerful expert.
Every one of them was a being who had Stepped into Immortality.
But Venerable Nu showed not the slightest nervousness or panic.
Instead, he said indifferently, "Now that our Heavenly Dao Academy has faced a crisis, we accept no outsiders.
Anyone who forces their way into the academy shall be killed."
"It’s just the last struggle of a dying camel. Your ancient ancestor is now entangled by the Heavenly Cang Demon Roc, what ability do you have to deal with us?"
Nine Suns Loose Man scoffed disdainfully nearby.
The Pure Yang force around him surged, as if transforming into nine suns that dazzled the world.
The void around him was completely incinerated.
Next to him, Heaven Burning War General also had blazing flames burning vigorously around him.
However, the flames surrounding him were not of Pure Yang, but burned in various colors.
Pure Yang Fire, Purple Wei Heavenly Fire, Holy Flames, Netherworld Ghost Flame, Red Lotus Karma Fire...
It was said that the Heaven Burning War General had acquired the flames left by the Flame Emperor and was seeking various powerful flames in the world.
The two of them were like two radiant suns, suppressing everything from above.
The flames and dazzling light they contained even surpassed the sun above their heads.
Of course, it was not that the two were more powerful than the sun.
But their own might was more substantial, coupled with the reason that the sun was too far away.
"Who says there’s no one," just as the standoff continued, a loud shout came.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, only to see a burly giant walking barefoot from the edge of the sky.
This huge man was several meters tall, his physique resembled that of a giant.
And his muscles, it goes without saying, he was bare-chested, carrying a Meteor Hammer on his back.
His lower body was clad in brown shorts.
Just like that, barefoot, he crushed a vast expanse of the void, slowly approaching.
"The Madmen of Seven Generations," someone murmured as they saw the giant coming.
"The academy is in trouble, Kuang Qianting has come to help."
Just then, the giant loudly called out, his voice shaking the firmament, causing everyone’s eardrums to resonate continuously.
"Madman of Seven Generations, Kuang Qianting," the people around hearing this title started to whisper among themselves.
"I heard he also practiced in Heavenly Dao Academy before, probably here to help."
