"So soon," Shi Jian said in surprise.
"Stay a few more days, my clan mbers would also like to thank you."
"No need, I always feel that sothing is going to happen at the academy these days and I want to join in on the excitent," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"To welco the storm."
"That’s true, I forgot about that," Shi Jian nodded and responded.
"Then let’s go together, no matter what the outco is, we must stand with the academy."
While the two were chatting, Shi Shaoshuo also ca over with many Elders.
"There’s no need for too many thanks. I did it partly for the sake of the Supre Hamr and partly because of Senior Brother Shi," Xu Zii said, waving his hand.
"Is Young Master Xu about to leave?" Shi Shaoshuo asked.
Xu Zii nodded slightly and said, "Your Stone Race has just experienced a great calamity, a rebirth after the disaster.
Isn’t it ti to put things in order?"
"What does Young Master Xu an?" Shi Shaoshuo asked, puzzled.
"There are so people in the clan with insidious intentions. Of course, you can check on this yourselves," Xu Zii gestured.
He asked, "Where is the Feather Clan’s territory?"
"Thirty li to the east from Stone Holy Mountain, that’s about where Yu Mountain Ridge is," Shi Shaoshuo replied hastily.
"But now that the main force of the Feather Clan has left, it’s unlikely that the remnants can stir up much trouble."
Xu Zii nodded slightly.
After a brief goodbye with Shi Shaoshuo and the others, he didn’t bother with Lu Ze and the group from the Immortal Mortal Sect and prepared to leave.
After all, Lu Ze hadn’t provoked him, and he had already warned Shi Shaoshuo.
...
He and Shi Jian set out together towards the east.
In about an hour, they had arrived in the middle of Yu Mountain Ridge.
This was the territory of the Feather Clan and where their race lived.
Among the mountains, the trees were luxuriant and growing thickly.
The morning sunlight shone down, and the air was exceptionally quiet.
The two discerned their direction in the firmant and descended into the heart of the Feather Clan’s mountains.
"Who dares to trespass upon the Feather Clan?" a stern voice called out, and a dozen mbers of the Feather Clan flew towards them.
Xu Zii ignored these people and instead surveyed the buildings around.
There were places like the Technique Pavilion and the Weapon Hall.
He had co to plunder the accumulations of the Feather Clan to strengthen his True Fate World.
Of course, Shi Jian would deal with these people.
Entering these halls, Xu Zii didn’t care for what things were there, and collected everything into his True Fate World.
...
At this mont, in the Divine Continent,
All living beings had embarked on the path of cultivation.
The inheritances and various cultivation techniques Xu Zii had placed inside were discovered and had begun to be cultivated.
The spiritual energy beca increasingly rich.
He deliberately guided the mythical stories of the Divine Land, thereby integrating the cultivation system as well.
Now, so powerful individuals of the True Vein Realm had erged.
They were the first batch of creatures to cultivate.
And among them, the outstanding ones.
Most of the treasures Xu Zii obtained from the Feather Clan were of no use to him, so he scattered them throughout the Divine Continent for those with fate to discover.
After he had cultivated the first batch of true powerhouses, those capable of reaching the Divine Vein, there would be no need for further investnt in resources.
Only after he had plundered the Feather Clan completely clean did Xu Zii prepare to leave.
As for the remaining mbers of the Feather Clan, their expressions varied after hearing their main force had been annihilated at the Stone Race.
So believed, others did not.
As to their ultimate fate, the Stone Race would probably handle it.
Xu Zii and Shi Jian set off toward Heavenly Dao Academy.
...…
Although they had been gone for only a few short days,
Heavenly Dao City now felt desolate compared to before.
The city was not as bustling as they had imagined, with only small groups of people occasionally walking down the spacious streets.
Even the usual vendors seed listless and no longer called out for custors.
Upon returning, Xu Zii and Shi Jian discovered that many students had already left the academy.
Now, one in ten students remained at the academy.
And this was already considered good.
This cradle of the human race, established during the era of Wild Desolation, was for the first ti experiencing a bleak scene.
"It seems that sothing really is about to happen," Shi Jian said at his side.
The two descended from the void into the academy.
By chance, a few students were heading out.
Shi Jian quickly stopped so of them to ask.
"You must have just returned to the academy, brother," said one of the young n.
"The academy has issued a notice that a disaster will occur soon.
The academy is not sure if it can cope, allowing everyone to stay or leave at will.
They can leave or stay to face life and death with the academy."
"Are you going to leave?" Shi Jian asked.
"Brother, it’s best to leave early," the young man replied with a sigh.
"I heard this ti it’s led by several Immortal Sects of Imperial Rule and even involves participants from other continents.
What can we do? Staying would only cause more trouble for the academy."
"You bunch of cowards afraid of death," Shi Jian said indignantly after hearing the young n’s words.
"How did the academy and our teachers educate us?
Even if we don’t repay the kindness of their teaching, at least we shouldn’t abandon the academy like this when it is in trouble.
You are unworthy to be human, unworthy to be students."
Hearing Shi Jian’s rebuke, the few showed ashad expressions.
"We don’t want to leave either, but with everyone leaving, what use is there for us to stay?"
"Enough," Xu Zii said, smiling and waving his hand from the side.
He said, "Everyone has a choice. Don’t expect too much."
"I just can’t stand it," Shi Jian said.
"Let’s go find the master and ask about the situation," Xu Zii suggested.
Ragefire Venerable was still on Vermilion Bird Island.
The two flew toward it and returned to Vermilion Bird Island.
Ragefire Venerable was currently taking a walk around the island with a woman, seemingly unconcerned about the current state of the academy.
"Master," the two greeted simultaneously.
"You’re back," Ragefire Venerable said with a smile.
"Is the Stone Race matter resolved?"
"Yes, thanks to Junior Brother Xu," Shi Jian quickly nodded.
"Let introduce you," Ragefire Venerable said, pointing to the woman beside him with a smile, "Zhu Qian, she will be your master’s wife from now on."
Xu Zii could see that this woman was the Vermilion Bird he had resurrected, transford into a human.
After a brief greeting,
Shi Jian began to inquire about the current situation of the academy.
Ragefire Venerable sighed softly and said, "The situation is grim."
"Why do they want to attack our academy? There shouldn’t be any grievances between us, and this ti, so many Immortal Sects of Imperial Rule have co all at once," Xu Zii expressed his inner confusion.
"They’re just flies wanting a piece of the pie," Ragefire Venerable snorted coldly.
"This matter involves the Heavenly Cang Demon Roc. It’s also a remnant issue from the past."
