For the sake of Gu Yao's heart, Chi Chang Ye left behind a blood ruby fruit.
The dean Yu of Tian Fu's Academyworry was not unfounded. The group of cultivators from Seven Stars Sect and Wan Ling Pavilion were attacked and killed on their way back to the sect. In the end, only a few cultivators escaped and sought help from nearby cultivation forces. The news spread, and the whole Tian Lin continent was shocked.
Who was the one who ambushed the Seven Stars Sect cultivators on the way? Was it for the heavenly essence pill? Did the Seven Stars Sect still have the heavenly essence pill in their hands?
If the other forces who got the heavenly essence pill would also suffer the same fate, then the heavenly essence pill would become a hot potato, whoever had it would be unlucky.
Soon, the elder who stayed in the Seven Stars Sect to handle the sect affairs issued a statement, activating the sect protection formation, closing the sect for ten years, and forbidding any disciple from entering or leaving the formation. However, the Seven Stars Sect master who left the Tian Fu Academy and the manager of Wan Ling Pavilion disappeared from then on. There was no sect master in the group that was attacked that day. Apparently, he left secretly through another channel, avoiding everyone's eyes.
But the Seven Stars Sect was sealed off, and outsiders could hardly break in. The other territories outside the sect were repeatedly attacked by unknown forces. Some surrendered and joined them, some resisted desperately, and some abandoned their original territories and moved to other places, waiting for the day when the sect master returned. As long as the sect master could successfully form the core, everything they suffered today would be rewarded.
The master of Tian Hai Sect was still in Tian Fu Academy and did not leave. He asked the elder beside him: "How is Bei Xing Sect? It seems that Qian Xue Sect is the most convenient, closest to Tian Fu Academy. Even if something goes wrong, Tian Fu Academy will immediately rescue them."
"Master, according to the news that came back, Bei Xing Sect is also not very peaceful. And although the heavenly essence pill was safely brought back to their sect, the Bei Xing Sect could not agree on who should take the heavenly essence pill, and they were arguing endlessly. I don't believe that there is no outsider's involvement in this."
"Master, it's not good!" A disciple of Tian Hai Sect ran in panic. "There is news from the sect that the receding tide of sea beasts has signs of resurgence. Master, what should we do now?"
The master of Tian Hai Sect crushed the teacup in his hand: "Damn it! I knew they wouldn't let my sect have a core formation cultivator. The tide of beasts is indeed controlled by someone behind the scenes. What did my sect's disciples who died in the tide of beasts do wrong?"
"Master!" Seeing the master's aura erupting, the elder was shocked. "Master, you can't be chaotic at this time!"
"Then how should we deal with this crisis?" The master asked the elder.
The elder said: "Why don't we ask for help from Dean Yu and Valley Master Hu? Maybe they have some good ideas."
"Fine!" The master of Tian Hai Sect was depressed. Rather than letting the Tian Hai Sect be destroyed in one fell swoop, and die without knowing why, it would be better to rely on Tian Fu Academy and Cui Yan Valley. At least the two of them had trustworthy characters.
Valley Master Hu originally planned to return to Cui Yan Valley. The turmoil outside made him uneasy about the safety of the valley. He had to go back and sit in charge. When he heard that the master of Tian Hai Sect wanted to see him, he quickly asked someone to let him in. After hearing the master's intention, Valley Master Hu sighed: "Master, it's not a solution to hesitate now. It depends on whether you are willing or not."
"What do you mean?" The master of Tian Hai Sect had some hope.
"Why don't you give the heavenly essence pill to Dean Yu for safekeeping first, and come back to get it when you need it in the future. The heavenly essence pill is redundant for Dean Yu." Valley Master Hu suggested.
"Why don't you, Valley Master Hu…" Compared to the previous low-key Dean Yu, Valley Master Hu was obviously more trustworthy.
Valley Master Hu sighed: "Now it's a troubled time, and I don't know how long I can survive. This matter started because of the heavenly essence pill. Do you think what will happen to me, who can refine the heavenly essence pill?"
The master of Tian Hai Sect felt a thud in his heart. Wasn't this going to ruin the hope and future of the whole Tian Lin continent? The people behind the scenes were too cruel.
"Then do you still insist on returning to Cui Yan Valley?" The master asked worriedly.
"Just like you have to go back to Tian Hai Sect, I have to go back too."
The master of Tian Hai Sect suddenly understood. By then, it would not be a matter of whether Valley Master Hu wanted to go back or not, but the people behind the scenes would force him to go back. The means were too vicious and evil.
The master of Tian Hai Sect finally listened to Valley Master Hu's suggestion and entrusted the hard-won heavenly essence pill to Dean Yu for safekeeping, and came back to get it in the future. After the news was released, the Tian Hai Sect group set off to return. Tian Fei Rong was worried when he sent his brother away. The various news from outside made him worry.
He had just sent Tian Fei Yang away, and Tian Fei Rong went to the market. He asked Lao Qi to secretly follow the Tian Hai Sect group. If Tian Hai Sect really encountered an ambush, he must ensure his brother's safety. Lao Qi agreed and left. He was good at hiding skills.
Tian Fei Rong met Xiao Pang Zi on his way back. The two had similar moods. Tian Fei Rong's brother left, and Xiao Pang Zi's grandfather also left. Their future was uncertain, and they couldn't help but worry. But their strength was limited, and they would only get in the way if they followed.
"I thought I could show off after reaching the foundation stage, but now what use is a foundation stage beginner?"
"I have to go into seclusion. I won't come out until I reach the foundation stage. Anyway, a foundation stage cultivator is much more useful than a qi refining cultivator." Xiao Pang Zi said firmly.
"What about Gu Yao and Chi Ge? "
Xiao Pang Zi replied: "Chi Ge also went into seclusion. Gu Yao stayed at Sword Peak. He sent me a message, saying that if I wanted to go into seclusion, I should go to Sword Peak. What about you?"
"I will naturally go with you." Tian Fei Rong said as a matter of course. So the two went straight to Sword Peak. At this moment, even Tian Fu Academy made them feel a storm brewing, and it was not as peaceful as outsiders thought. The only consolation was that Tian Fu Academy had Dean Yu, a golden core cultivator, to suppress it, and the monsters and ghosts below did not dare to make trouble openly.
The two were right. After all, Dean Yu had two heavenly essence pills in his hands, plus the one left by Tian Hai Sect, which made several peak masters and elders eager to move. The contact between them was much more frequent than before.
"Did the little guy enter the Sword Pavilion?" Dean Yu asked the elder Yi behind him.
Elder Yi had always hoped that Chi Chang Ye would enter the Sword Pavilion, but he couldn't help but worry after Chi Chang Ye entered. He nodded and said: "He entered. This time it can't be hidden. But they all think that Chi Chang Ye is entering for the first time. What are you going to do?"
Dean Yu looked at the still fishing line, put the fishing rod aside, and looked at the clouds rising and falling on the horizon:
"What am I going to do? I just need to guard the academy. Whatever they want to do, they have to cross my line first. It's them who should be anxious, not us."
Elder Yi didn't know what Dean Yu was thinking. Just talking about the present, several peak masters sent messages in a short while. He didn't need to check to know what the content was. It was nothing more than asking about the ownership of the two heavenly essence pills. The phenomenon of forming cliques among the high-levels of Tian Fu Academy became more and more serious these days. For the sake of strengthening their own side, even the strongest Dean Yu would have to succumb, otherwise the work of Tian Fu Academy would not be carried out.
The ones with the highest voices were Cai, the peak master of Wu Peak, and Lin, the peak master of Dan Peak. However, Dean Yu did not agree to either of them.
He opened a few messages and heard the old talk inside. Dean Yu smiled faintly: "It seems that everyone is impatient. The heavenly essence pill made you guys restless. How can you form the core in this state? You are not as good as Chi Chang Ye, a young cultivator."
Elder Yi's heart moved and said: "Are you not sure about either of them? The one surnamed Cai? Or that yin and yang weird Lin peak master?"
Dean Yu cast his eyes on the lake again, and did not answer Elder Yi's question. What he was thinking about was what Gu Yao told him after refining the pill that day. He knew that Tian Fu Academy could not be free from infiltration, but he was still disappointed when he knew who did it. Even the strongest fortress was often broken from the inside first.
Elder Yi sighed in his heart. It seemed that one or both of these two people had problems. This made Elder Yi angry and helpless.
Splash splash splash
Gu Yao held a book in his hand and read it carefully. Although Sword Peak had added a lot of students, it was still quiet compared to other peaks. So at this moment, the stars were twinkling, and it was silent all around.
He turned another page, and Xu Chen in the space couldn't help but ask: "You are calm enough. Can you read it? Aren't you afraid of someone making trouble?"
"Making trouble? Do you mean entering the Sword Pavilion to make trouble? If the Sword Pavilion was so easy to enter, it wouldn't be Chi Ge's turn. Now the Sword Pavilion is the safest place. And that day, it was just our suspicion. Based on a bug, we can't prove that it was Lin peak master who did it."
That day, not only Xu Chen noticed it, but Chi Chang Ye also noticed Lin peak master's slight change. After refining the pill, he confirmed with Gu Yao and suspected Lin peak master.
Gu Yao didn't want it to be like this. If this matter was confirmed, it would be a big blow to Tian Fu Academy, and it was not something he and Chi Chang Ye could solve. So he simply reported the matter to Dean Yu.
The dignified Dan Peak was infiltrated or even completely controlled by the other party. Gu Yao didn't know how many people the other party had hidden in the continent. The current news from the outside world showed a glimpse of it. The appearance of the heavenly essence pill stimulated the other party's nerves, and the whole Tian Lin continent was in turmoil.
"Meow-"
The kitten wandering outside suddenly screamed in a shrill voice. Xu Chen only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Gu Yao quickly flashed out. At the same time, the scene in front of him also changed rapidly.
Under the night sky, a man in black and a black cat were fighting. The huge Sword Peak was quietly infiltrated by the man in black, until he was discovered by the kitten and cried out.
At the same time, the elder Yi and other high-levels who were guarding the Sword Peak were also alarmed. They flew out one by one and rushed to the meowing sound.
The kitten's small body seemed incomparable to the man in black. The man in black slapped away the entangling kitten and leaped towards the direction where Gu Yao was exposed.
