When the old man uttered the words "Lingxiao Academy," the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. For several breaths, no one spoke, and the scene fell into dead silence.
"Nonsense! Haven't you investigated Lingxiao Academy before? Among the prodigies we have now, there's no one named Long Chen at all. Could it be that your information is wrong? An immortal powerhouse of the Nether Dragon clan broke the silence and shouted angrily.
The old man cried out in terror, "Reporting to Your Lord, we are counting the current strong fighters at Lingxiao Academy."
Long Chen had already left Lingxiao Academy, and no one knew when he returned. Not even our informants had sent any news. "
What exactly is going on with this Long Chen?" The clan leader of the Nether Dragon clan shouted coldly.
"This Long Chen is a peerless prodigy who has just emerged in recent years at Lingxiao Academy. As soon as he joined, he rose like a comet.
At such a young age, he became the branch dean, becoming the youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy.
According to our information, he mastered the power of Dragon Blood, his combat strength was extraordinary, and he was exceptionally talented. He forcibly fused the Galaxy Sky Technique and the Seven Absolute Xuanyang Technique, embarking on his own unique path of cultivation... The
old man hurriedly recounted everything Long Chen had done in Ming Hao Tian. Fortunately, this guy had a good memory, had read Long Chen's information, and remembered everything. At least there was an explanation.
"This Long Chen didn't show any remarkable performance during the Ming Hao Heaven era. How could he possibly defeat Young Master Tianye?" There must be something more to this matter. A powerful member of the Nether Dragon clan said.
"I think so too. Maybe the person who killed Young Master Tianye was someone else, or maybe he had some terrifying weapon on him.
Otherwise, relying solely on true strength, I don't believe a mere human can defeat Young Master Tianye. Another immortal expert also chimed in.
They were well aware of Tianye's strength as the Underworld Dragon. They could not believe that a mere human boy had defeated the peerless prodigy of the Underworld Dragon clan, a quasi-destined one.
Because according to the old man's information, at that time Long Chen wasn't even a Supreme. They didn't believe that a mediocre Dragon Blood inheritance combined with their own fusion techniques could defeat Nether Dragon Tianye.
"Who cares about all that? We'll just gather all the elite of the Nether Dragon clan and wipe out Lingxiao Academy together." An immortal powerhouse who had just arrived said.
Clearly, this was an extremely young immortal powerhouse. He was unaware of outside news, nor had he seen the grave expressions on everyone's faces when they heard about Lingxiao Academy.
"You don't know anything, shut up." An elder immortal expert shouted coldly.
That new generation of immortal powerhouses stared wide-eyed, not understanding what he had said wrong.
"Patriarch, I'm afraid this matter cannot be taken lightly. Lingxiao Academy has already been targeted by all the major worlds, but not a single world has launched a challenge.
Clearly, Lingxiao Academy is deeply troubled. If we rashly start a war with it, we might become someone else's touchstone. The elder of the Underworld Dragon clan said.
The clan leader of the Minglong clan looked grim and silent. Lingxiao Academy was a mysterious and terrifying existence.
Its existence has always intimidated people from this world. Although it is said that Lingxiao Academy has long since declined, they still dare not believe it.
Because before their world was sealed, Lingxiao Academy was still the strongest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and no one dared challenge its status.
Now that the major worlds have reopened, facing the already declining Lingxiao Academy, they still only dare to probe, but no one dares to declare war directly.
As the saying goes, 'The tiger is old and full of vigor.' No matter how old a tiger is, it's not someone a rabbit can bully. Unless the tiger is already immobile, even if it barely survives, it can easily crush them.
The clan leader of the Nether Dragon clan was both shocked and furious. He never expected that the murderer of his son would be someone from Lingxiao Academy. The harsh words he had made before—wiping out the family, wiping out the clan, wiping out the entire lineage—were nothing but a joke.
"Clan Leader, how about this: I'll take a few half-step Saints from our clan to kill Long Chen and bring back his head." An elder of the Nether Dragon clan said.
The clan leader of the Underworld Dragon clan remained silent, his face dark for a long time before shaking his head and saying,
"If we kill only him, it won't show any dignity of our Minglong clan. It will feel like all talk but little action, and only the powerful from other worlds will laugh at us."
The powerful members of the Dark Dragon clan fell silent immediately. Clearly, killing Long Chen could not restore the clan's prestige, nor could it quench their fury.
But what should we do now? For a moment, everyone was at a loss. They really didn't dare to attack Lingxiao Academy.
Not to mention, Saints cannot leave their worlds. Even if one day the laws of the two worlds fully merge and Saints can leave their worlds, the Nether Dragon Clan might not truly dare to single-hand take on Lingxiao Academy with their own power.
If Lingxiao Academy really is, as the rumors outside, completely decayed and decayed, then why do all the major worlds dare not move?
"How much longer until Amaterasu emerges from seclusion?"
The clan leader of the Minglong clan suddenly asked.
"Reporting to the clan leader, I will be able to emerge in about a month. When the young master of Amaterasu emerges, he will be a true Mandate Holder, capable of sweeping away all the prodigies of the world." The elder of the Dark Dragon clan showed excitement in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, our Dark Dragon Clan's Dragon Pool can only accommodate one person at a time to receive the baptism of destiny. Otherwise, Young Master Tianye wouldn't have been so ...," another immortal expert sighed, his tone full of regret.
It turned out the Nether Dragon Clan had two Quasi-Destined Ones. When the Gate of the World opened and the laws of the two worlds merged, the Minglong Clan's Dragon Pool was activated, allowing the Quasi-Destined Ones to be baptized and become true Destined Ones.
The clan leader of the Minglong clan has two outstanding sons: one is Minglong Tianye, and the other is far more talented and powerful than his brother Minglong Amaterasu.
Minglong Tianzhao had been in the Dragon Pool Holy Land for two months; in another month, he would emerge from seclusion.
Originally, Minglong Tianye was supposed to wait until after Minglong Tianzhao's baptism to enter the altar. During this period, he needed to wait within the clan.
But this guy was used to being arrogant. Longtan was taken first by his brother, who had absorbed all the best resources first. He could only pick up what's left, feeling very annoyed and irritable.
Within the clan, he had injured many fellow geniuses and even attacked the older generation of strong fighters. Seeing his displeasure and knowing he was in the wrong, the clan leader sent him out for a walk, to kill and clear his mind, and when the time came, he would return for a baptism.
Unexpectedly, after Minglong Tianye left, he received news from Ye Ling and immediately went to kill him, determined to complete the saint-slaying feat to prove he was stronger than his brother. Unexpectedly, this trip cost him his life.
"Then let that kid live for one more month. His life will be collected by Amaterasu himself!"
When the time comes, I'll have Amaterasu challenge the younger generation of Lingxiao Academy. I want to see if Lingxiao Academy is truly doomed. A
sinister gleam appeared in the eyes of the Dark Dragon clan chief, like a man-eating beast.
