"Not at all." Dean Qiansu of Xuanwu Academy took over Yan Ming's words and spoke, and everyone looked at her.
"Looking in the direction, it should be our Xuanwu people." Qiansu continued.
"As for why I went south, I must have encountered or discovered something. I haven't received any feedback yet." Qiansu continued.
"Since it's Xuanwu Academy, it must be safe." Yan Ming responded, but everyone else remained silent.
Everyone sent people to search around, and bumping into people from a certain college in a certain direction was indeed a very normal thing. And if you find something during the search, you will definitely send it back home first. But it’s hard to say whether everyone will share this information. For example, if a Thousand Song Ruler is discovered or something, people who have intentions towards it will certainly not share the information easily with others.
So when the Xuanwu Academy staff told Nan Qiansu that they still didn't know the reason, everyone just listened and most of them chose not to believe it judging from the situation.
Xu Mai sighed inwardly.
If they encounter the crazy resistance of the Dark Academy during this trip, then maybe everyone can really unite as one with the same hatred. However, the other party avoided fighting and left only such a large customization. Although it caused some troubles for the major colleges, it was equivalent to allowing them to win without a fight.
After winning the battle, the next thing that comes to mind is naturally the division of the victory. At this time, it is difficult to have the same mind. What is Xuanwu Academy doing going south? Everyone was obviously muttering in their hearts.
"Currently, nothing has been found in various investigations. If there is an encounter here at Xuanwu College, that may be our only direction." Zhou Xiao, the dean of Nantian College, said after thinking for a while.
"It makes sense." Queyue Dean Hai Yuesheng immediately agreed and nodded.
Qiansu looked at the two deans and smiled, knowing what they were thinking. The only direction is a legitimate excuse to interfere with Xuanwu Academy's information - if Xuanwu Academy indeed discovers something.
"Then please send some people to support us?" Qiansu said immediately.
His unhurried statement made everyone inevitably think more about it. No one believes that Qian Suhui is so kind-hearted. It's probably because he's in trouble that he actively invites everyone to intervene, right?
However, it was Nantian College who took the initiative first, and Que Yue followed up so quickly, and it was difficult to change his mind now. Besides, who knows if Qiansu is just pretending?
So the two deans continued their proactive stance and immediately sent out manpower. Qiansu then looked at Xu Mai from Beidou College and the three big figures from the three empires in an inviting manner.
"With your three academies joining forces, any problems must be enough to deal with." Xu Mai said, turning his eyes to Yan Ming, "Please also ask the eldest prince to tighten the security in the Yandang area."
"Don't worry, Dean Xu." Yan Ming nodded and said. The Yandang Mountains, including Yandang Pass, are within the territory of the Qingfeng Empire, and those in charge of this line are naturally the Qingfeng Empire's manpower. Although Xuanjun and Changfeng also sent people to participate, they were all in response to the call of the four major colleges. As for the relationships within the three major empires, they are much more tense than between the four major colleges. To describe them as "coupled" but "separated" is too polite. Their relationship is clearly hostile and will not improve at all because of this joint fight led by the four major colleges.
The line of the Yandang Mountains is the northern border of the Qingfeng Empire. For the important figures of Xuanjun and Changfeng, who are located at the southern end of the continent, going deep into this area already bears more risks. They discussed matters together along the way, but they were always wary of the Qingfeng Empire. When I heard Xu Mai's proposal to strengthen border security, even though I knew it was not aimed at them, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, that was the only way for them to return.
"What are Dean Xu's next plans? We at Changfeng will do our best to cooperate." Zhu Xie of the Changfeng Empire is the top figure in the Zhongzhu Academy who leads the strongest cultivators of the Changfeng Empire. , but they were always cautious when they arrived in the northern border. At this time, they took the initiative to seek cooperation from Beidou College, which was somewhat like seeking asylum. Under the eyes of the four major colleges, they, the Three Kingdoms, could not fall out directly after all, so they would be a little too unwilling to give Zhang Luo this time. The four major colleges of action lost face.
How could Xu Mai not understand these thoughts? Seeing these big figures from the continent's top forces speaking high-sounding words, but having all kinds of ideas in their minds, I just feel exhausted.
"There are currently no clues about Qian Songchi, so please pay more attention." Xu Mai said.
"That's natural." Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, which was quite sincere.
Then some news came one after another, all about the casualties after the outbreak of the Jiechuan Customization. As the casualty statistics continued to be updated, the direction of Jiechuan gradually calmed down. The ice dust billowing into the sky filled the sky and stayed there for a long time, blocking the sunlight and making the sky darken by a large margin. The southern end of Jiechuan Ice Peak is no longer as straight and steep as before. The collapsed ice and snow have created a slope on this side.
"Customization seems to be gone." Xu Mai said looking at it from a distance. He is not a great expert in the customization system, but his perception is extremely keen, and he senses that the power of soul that continues to erupt in the boundary river is now only the aftermath.
Soon, disciples sent by various academies to study large-scale customization also reported: The large-scale customization has indeed been completely exhausted.
"Amazing handiwork." Zhou Xiao said while looking at the ice dust in the sky.
"Perhaps they had expected this day." Xu Mai said.
"With this arrangement, it seems that they do not regard this place as a permanent place." Qiansu said.
"If this is not a permanent place..." Hai Yuesheng looked at Xu Mai.
Because Xu Mai knew the function of the Beidou Thousand Pine Ruler, he deduced that the other party wanted to use this super-grade magic weapon to change their living environment in the bitter cold land. But what I saw now was that the other party had directly destroyed the secret base they had been operating for who knows how long. The Bitter Cold Land is far away from the horizon. No one in the world knows how vast it is. If Xu Mai's inference is true, it means that the opponent has other hiding places. They have no clues about this. They can't put this Bitter Cold Land away. Search all over the place. If this kind of thing happened more often, the Dark Academy would have been exterminated to death long ago, and it would not have survived for thousands of years.
"Maybe we should find a guide who is more familiar with this place." Xu Mai said.
Everyone looked at each other.
Who else is familiar with this bitter cold place? It can only be people from the Dark Academy who have been living here. It is currently known that the forces of Darkness are not unified. Xu Mai actually wants to find other forces of Darkness that are not related to the current opponent to cooperate. This is an idea that no cultivator in Guan Nei has dared to think about for more than a thousand years, but now it comes from the mouth of a dean of the four major colleges.
"This..." Everyone was vague and asked people from the Dark Academy for help. This idea of breaking the long-lasting concept was still a very psychological barrier for them.
Just when they were having a hard time making a decision, suddenly a figure rushed toward them in a panic. Looking closer, it was Tang Mu, the dean of Zhiling District Bipolar College. As the dean of the college that ranks at the top of the Mainland College Ranking, he is also a rare big shot. At this time, he seemed extremely uneasy. Xu Mai and others hurriedly greeted him.
"The people from the Dark Academy are here!" Tang Mu said hurriedly before anyone could ask questions.
Several people looked at each other.
"How many have come?"
"Which way?"
"Just one person, over there at our academy." Tang Mu said.
"Now?"
"He said he wanted to meet you all," Tang Mu said.
"Did you mention your identity?" Xu Mai said.
"It's said to be the Dark Second Path, Qing Shiba." Tang Mu replied.
