selves."If you were on the same level as Shuang Fan, your name would definitely appear on the Heavenly Rankings," Wang Mingtong continued. "The reason it doesn't is because you are no longer in that a...Why should I hide

At this time, the old man finally spoke.

He is the current dean of Wanli Academy, Yuanshu Sheng!

"Shùshēng, I know you're not happy with my arrangement, but we've already boarded that ship. " There was a hint of helplessness in the other person's voice as they said, "Since we've boarded, we have to follow orders. Remember, if the ship capsizes, everything on board will sink."

Yuanshu, holding a square chess piece in his hand, said: "I could have chosen not to board the ship back then."

"Alas, Shuseng, things have happened, so let's not dwell on the past. We can only look to the future!" The other party said, "As long as you and I, both generations of deans, work together with one heart, the future of our Wanli Academy will surely be bright!"

"How do you plan to handle this crisis" Yuanshu put down his chess piece and tilted his head slightly, asking.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the chessboard before him shimmered with brilliant light.

"To constantly spar with chess spirits from millennia ago, is that really so interesting" The other party didn't answer Yuan Shensheng's question, but instead said.

“Playing chess with him, my Dao heart is constantly improving. To achieve enlightenment, this is the foundation,” Yuan Shu said calmly.

The light on the board gradually faded.

After the light faded, the chessboard was empty. All the pieces had vanished.

"Come over after you're done playing, Zong Taisu has already arrived," the other party said.

Yuanshu sat in his place, tilting his head slightly upward and letting out a long sigh.

Then, he slowly stood up.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

His body shimmered with light.

"Whoosh!"

Then, the body vanished within the room.

……

On the other side of Wanli Book Academy, there was a tea pavilion of moderate size.

At this moment, two figures sit facing each other in the pavilion.

One of them was clad in a green robe, with eyebrows as straight as swords and a countenance that betrayed both ferocity and decisiveness.

If any professors from Wanli Academy were present, they would know this man was the old Dean, Zhang Baihe!

On the opposite side of Zhang Baihe sat an old man cloaked in a patterned cloak.

He was pale and clean-shaven, but his face was creased with wrinkles. His eyes were cold and his pupils flickered with a faint grayish light.

This is one of the Five Absolutes of the Biezhou Wujue Sect, Zong Taisu!

And he was also the grandfather of Zong Yao who fell into Fang Yu's hands!

"Whoosh!"

A beam of light flickered in the pavilion.

Yuanshu appeared inside the teahouse.

"Well, Shuseng has arrived too. We can begin our conversation now." Zhang Baihe smiled faintly.

Zong Taisui glanced at Yuansheng, his face grim. He said, "Zongyao has fallen into their hands. I must first ensure Zongyao's safety, and all other matters can be put aside."

"That's hard to do," Zhang Baihe shook his head and said, "Zong Yao made a huge mistake. Even if he could be saved, the superiors would definitely hold him accountable..."

Zong Taisui's eyes were bloodshot as he said, "If I can't even protect my own grandson's life, why should I join…"

"Zongfùjiào, when we joined, didn't we already expect this day would come" Zhang Baihe looked deeply at Zong Taisui and said, "Saying this now is meaningless."

"Very well, but that's my grandson!" Zong Taisui clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.

Zong Yao truly committed an unforgivable mistake today.

He exposed himself, and exposed the Five Jue Sect and Wan Li Book Academy.

As Zhang Baihe said, committing such a mistake, even if you manage to come back alive, you will inevitably be held accountable and ultimately there is no escaping death.

They knew this from the moment they joined the program.

This plan is enough to sweep across the entire Southern Desolation. Every force involved is an important gear, and if one gear malfunctions, it could trigger a series of problems.

Therefore, every gear must be perfect!

Zong Yao was captured, the best outcome for him is to die!

"Don't dwell on this any longer, Zong Taisu. It's best to focus on the present." Zhang Baihe said calmly.

As for Zong Tai's emotional fluctuations, he not only felt nothing but even found them superfluous.

Any warrior who aspires to reach the peak should not be swayed by any emotion.

Nothing that is dear to one has any meaning.

For the strong, the end is always solitude.

They soon returned to Wanli Book Academy. What will they do then Zhang Baihe narrowed his eyes and asked.

< Zongtai didn't speak, bowing his head slightly. >

While Yuanshu was expressionless and sat quietly beside him, as if he had nothing to do with the matter.

This matter, the one being asked about, doesn't seem to be directed at them.

"If you're here, kill them all."

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out within the tea pavilion!

But the three cultivators inside the pavilion showed no surprise, apparently expecting this.

"Kill them all Then all the higher-ups behind them, the Grand Elders, the former Patriarchs... all the powerful cultivators at the Xuanxian level will make a move." Zhang Baihe frowned.

“Even Xuanxian… will be killed.” That icy voice said, “Since the covert plan failed, we can only resort to force. After all… the plans in other regions are progressing perfectly. The martial arts state and Bi Prefecture under my responsibility absolutely cannot falter. You… should understand what I mean, right”

Within that voice, there was an endless chill of killing intent, causing the temperature inside the tea pavilion to plummet instantly!

Whether it was Zhang Baihe, Zong Taisui, or Yuan Shusheng, they all felt that the immortal energy flowing through their meridians had been affected, appearing in varying degrees of disorder.

For someone of their caliber, this was an extremely rare occurrence.

"Understood! We will follow the Emperor's orders!" Zhang Baicuo said immediately.

At that moment, the icy killing intent finally dissipated.

Zhang Baihe and Zong Taisu looked at each other, both with shock in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor would be so decisive as to kill the leaders of the three major forces who were about to visit later!

At the same time, we will also prepare to kill all those powerful senior cultivators behind them!

This way, there would be no more obstacles between Biezhou and Wuzhou.

Is that... all it takes Just this to quell the uproar

If this were to get out... it would definitely attract the attention of the top powers within Great Yuan State.

This will affect the whole plan!

But what they could think of, the Emperor couldn't possibly have thought of.

Even so, the Heavenly Emperor must have his reasons and backup plan for choosing this course of action.

Zhang Baihe and Zong Taisui knew they couldn't ask any more.

Otherwise, with the emperor's temper, it would be inevitable that he would become angry and make them suffer!

……

"The name Wanli Shuyuan is quite well-chosen. Back on Earth, there was a saying: 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.'"

Arriving at the gate of Wanli Academy, Fang Yu said to Han Miaoyi beside him.

"Brother, you keep mentioning Earth... what is it like there I'd love to see it." Han Miao Yi said.

"It's just a small planet on the lowest plane...nothing to see here," Fang Yu asked.

.n, Fang Yu summoned Bebe and had her release the ring mark. 。Seeing the appearance of the portal, Huixu's eyes were full of surprise. 。But he didn't ask, instead following Fang Yu through the portal....
