Still being supported by Peici, Ruan Qingzhu was brought to Ruan Chang Xu Mai. Le Wen saw that his most outstanding disciple seemed to be fine. Even in this situation, Xu Mai showed a slight smile of relief. On the other hand, Ruan Qingzhu, who was usually the most generous, couldn't be free and easy at all when he saw his teacher looking like this. Seeing the dejected faces of the surrounded fellows from the three major colleges, they were even more furious.
However, seeing that there were only so few people left in the three major colleges, Ruan Qingzhu was more frightened.
She knew exactly what this meant. After this battle, the vitality of all the four major colleges was severely damaged. How many years has this happened? Nowadays, the three major empires led by the blood-successor superpower families are getting stronger and stronger, but the four major colleges have suffered such a near-destructive blow. As one goes and the other goes, the academy's transcendent status will no longer be preserved and it will accelerate to become one of the ruling tools of the empire.
Some practitioners consider this change to be in line with the trend. The colleges on the Mainland College Rankings have long been dependent on the empire. For example, the Xuanjun Empire has even set up a special authority to manage the college, such as the College Supervisory Committee. The other three of the four aloof academies are strengthening their relationships and cooperation with the three empires. Among them, only Beidou Academy continues to maintain its long-standing tradition. However, within Beidou, there is controversy over whether it should continue so early. Among the seven academicians, Tianxuan Academician Song Yuan is one who fiercely opposes this tradition. He has always advocated that Beidou should strengthen its relationship with the empire like the other three major academies in order to not fall behind in this era.
But now, the strength of the four major colleges has shrunk significantly. How much confidence do they have to balance with the imperial forces? Although the other three major colleges are very active in establishing good relations with the three major empires, this does not mean that they are willing to become institutions managed and restricted by the empires like those ordinary colleges in the mainland.
Each of the four major academies has its own inheritance, but as they have led the world of cultivation for thousands of years and are like holy places, they will not be content with others. Whether they maintain the traditional detachment or be more realistic and have a good relationship with the empire, the four seemingly superior colleges are actually looking for the answer to a very ordinary question that everyone needs to face - in this new era The best way to survive.
Of course, with a status like one of the four major colleges, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be satisfied with just enough food and clothing. If they don't want to be replaced in the crazy family growth driven by the blood inheritance ability, they need to continue to have the strength to lead the cultivation world. When the three major colleges are encircling Beidou College, don't they want to carve up the thousands of years of accumulation accumulated by Beidou College in order to make themselves stronger? But in the end, he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. It was thought that the casualties would be within the bearable range, but in the end it resulted in the near-annihilation of the entire army. But whether it's close or not, I'm just waiting for a word from Beidou Academy.
"What are you going to do with these people?" Ruan Qingzhu asked this question again at this moment.
Xu Mai did not answer immediately. He turned his attention to the group of people and said after a while: "This decision is really difficult to make. Dean Zhou, can you tell me how Beidou should deal with you?"
Among the remaining people, Zhou Xiao from Nantian College is undoubtedly the one with the highest status among the three major colleges. At this time, he heard Xu Mai call his name, but he just smiled bitterly.
"It's up to you," he said.
Although the three major academies are doing their own faults, they will not lose their integrity. If you want to beg for mercy from Beidou Academy, you can't say it no matter what. As for apologizing, Zhou Xiao felt that it was unnecessary. Even if they fell into a trap, the murderous intention of the three colleges towards Beidou was always obvious. Whether they fell into a trap or not has nothing to do with whether Beidou College can forgive them.
The only thing that can be said is that the overall situation is the most important thing.
The designer himself didn't move any muscles, but he had already beaten the four major colleges to death. No one knows if there are any plans for them next. The four major colleges, whose vitality is severely damaged, can only better weather the coming difficulties by working together. Although there are not many people left in the three major colleges, they are still a group of top experts that cannot be underestimated. They are also an important hub for maintaining the future relationship between the four major colleges.
But Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, because he knew that Xu Mai must have sorted out these joints, so he found it difficult to make a decision. It would be the same if it were him. So with the words "It's up to you," the problem was thrown back to Xu Mai.
Everyone looked at Xu Mai, and Xu Mai finally spoke.
"You go," he said.
"Dean!!" Countless voices suddenly jumped up, and the Beidoumen people surrounding here seemed to stir up a thousand waves with a single stone. The crowd suddenly gathered, and everyone seemed to be eager to jump in front of Xu Mai.
These people in front of them killed their teachers, their relatives and friends, and their classmates. They wanted to kill them all. They went to the three major colleges and leveled them all one by one. But now, Dean Xu Mai actually let them go?
Unwilling, unwilling, dissatisfied, unwilling!
Everyone is pretty much in the same mood. No one made way for the people from the three major colleges because of Xu Mai's decision. They even surrounded him more closely and stared more closely, as if they would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xiao looked at Xu Mai.
The Dean of Beidou finally made the decision to focus on the overall situation and Beidou. Zhou Xiao believed that he would force them to leave next despite all objections. But after this, his prestige in the hearts of Beidoumen will definitely drop to freezing point. Even if he has the profound intention of putting the overall situation first, truth is always vulnerable in the face of hatred and passion.
Zhou Xiao slowly stood up and was already preparing to leave.
The Beidou Sect people were making a fuss, but Xu Mai had no intention of changing his decision. He insisted on his decision amidst everyone's disappointed eyes. The crowd was finally separated by the efforts of some mature and prudent disciples.
The disciples of the Third Courtyard were all dejected at this time. They saw clearly that Xu Mai had to put the overall situation first and could only endure the humiliation. He didn't want them to leave, he had to let them go.
"Dean Xu, farewell." Only Zhou Xiao gave Xu Mailiao a salute.
"Go slowly. But please remember." Xu Mai said, pointing with his hand, the gatekeepers of the third courtyard who were about to leave. Everyone felt that this finger seemed to be pointing at themselves, and a feeling rose in their hearts for no reason. Coolness.
"Beidou has not forgotten this blood feud, and will never forget it. Please send these forty-three heads to the heads for now. I, Beidou, will definitely get them back in the future, and not one of them will be missing."
Everyone was stunned.
The chill in the hearts of the Sanyuanmen was even worse, but the Beidoumen were boiling again.
The disciples who were dissatisfied and even angry with Xu Mai's decision were stunned and immediately became excited after hearing these words.
Beidou will never forget this grudge; Beidou will eventually get back this grudge.
So there must be some unexplainable reasons for letting them go now, so the dean had no choice but to make a temporary decision.
"Take your heads and get out!"
"I will definitely take it back with my own hands in the future!"
The forty-three people who were caught in the human path faced shouts and curses from both sides, as well as the fierce eyes staring at their heads. Everyone's face was ashen, but their spines were running cold.
They were given a way to live, but in the days to come, there will always be a sharp knife hanging over their heads until they die.
