Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: To Be Returned Another Day! (5/5) Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: To Be Returned Another Day! (5/5) Ji Qianyao’s appearance allowed Ye Qiubai and the others to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the vague aura she exuded shocked everyone.

Previously, Ji Qianyao had only been at the Divine Emperor Realm, yet now she had directly leaped over the Ancestral Realm and arrived at the Demigod Realm? What kind of incredible fortune had she encountered?

But had they known it was related to the Primordial Purple Qi, they would have considered it normal.

The Primordial Purple Qi, a substance from the inception of chaos, whether it was the 3,000 Great Dao contained within or its pure and matchless power, could make such an advancement possible.

“However, her aura feels somewhat unstable; consecutive breakthroughs seem to have left her Dao foundation unsteady,” Ye Qiubai incisively said.

Ji Qianyao nodded, “I didn’t have enough time. That power just rushed into me all at once, and it’s already difficult enough to refine it, let alone stabilize my realm. That will have to come later.”

“Alright, since everyone is here, we should head out too.”

Mu Fusheng said solemnly, “Just be cautious of other academies after we go out… especially the Ascending God Academy. Although they don’t know what has happened, with both the Classic of Mountains and Seas’ missing pages and the brush handle in our hands, they will probably try everything to snatch them.”

Everyone nodded and then gripped the tokens, stepping into the twisting space.

…

Outside.

Feeling the space above the vortex twist once again, everyone’s gaze fell upon the twisting space.

The figures of Ye Qiubai and the others appeared one after another.

After emerging, they landed on the ship belonging to Azure Heaven Academy.

But before they even had a chance to catch up,

A deep and thunderous shout spread across the entire sea!

The sound waves surged, even pushing back the roaring waves that kept rushing in.

“Did the students of my Ascending God Academy perish at your hands?”

Only to see the leading elder of the Ascending God Academy with sharp, eagle-like eyes, locked onto Ye Qiubai and the group.

As the dean, Hong Ying stepped forward without the slightest fear of the elder’s overwhelming pressure and said calmly, “Oh? With no evidence, why does the honorable elder assert that it was surely our students who have done this?”

The elder’s eye twitched.

Though everyone present understood that the Severed Legacy of The Mortal Realm was not unrelated to the Immortal Realm, you might even say that the Immortal Realm was the instigator.

Now with The Mortal Realm rising once more, it naturally wasn’t something the Immortal Realm wished to see.

Knowing this but unable to speak it aloud,

However, considering this factor, if the students of Ascending God Academy hadn’t died in the traps of the forbidden land or during the test of receiving the legacy, then it mostly would have been the students of Azure Heaven Academy, who were in direct conflict with the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore… Azure Heaven Academy was undisputedly number one this time.

“Hmph, then there must be someone who has seen something,” said the elder. His gaze swept over the students from the various academies, and he spoke with a raised fist, “Everyone, if anyone can speak the truth, my Ascending God Academy will reward you handsomely! And we will also ensure your safety.”

“I swear by the name of the Immortal Realm, I will not go back on my word!”

But, no one stood up to speak.

After all, basically everyone who had seen Ascending God Academy’s students murdered were already bound by divine soul restrictions placed by Mu Fusheng.

And the only outsider who wasn’t bound by the restriction was Bi Yan.

However, Bi Yan had only seen Qi Wu slay two students from the Ascending God Academy.

Of course, he would not foolishly disclose that.

Despite private disagreements, when facing outsiders, there was a need to stick together for warmth.

Seeing no one speak, the elder’s face grew increasingly ugly.

Considering the task assigned by his superiors, the elder’s expression hardened as he looked at Hong Ying and the others, “Now, the most likely suspects are from The Mortal Realm. How about this, submit to the Soul Searching Technique, and if there’s no issue, we will no longer pursue the matter.”

Hearing this, Hong Ying’s face immediately darkened.

Everyone present knew what the Soul Searching Technique entailed.

Before Hong Ying could speak,

The elder reached out and said, “Or, hand over the Classic of Mountains and Seas to me, and we shall write off this affair.”

The moment the three words “Classic of Mountains and Seas” left the elder’s mouth.

People surrounding them all had changing expressions.

No wonder the Immortal Realm valued this exchange with the Six Realms Academy so much. It turns out that the Mount and Sea Scripture, the divine item from The Mortal Realm that was said to threaten the Immortal Realm, was hidden within the Ascending God Ruins.

For a moment, many in the Chaos Realm looked towards the Azure Heaven Academy’s ship with covetous eyes.

Hong Ying stepped forward, the aura of an emperor soaring skyward!

Her face was as still as water, her eyes full of fury.

Soul Searching Technique, forcibly making them hand over the divine item.

This wasn’t just a simple conflict.

This was an insult to Azure Heaven Academy! At the same time, it was also sabotaging the foundation of Azure Heaven Academy!

If this matter wasn’t handled well, if they retreated even slightly or truly had their souls searched and the divine item stolen, then even if Azure Heaven Academy emerged as the leader in this exchange, expanding their influence to the Chaos Realm would become an empty dream.

After all, if the students of Azure Heaven Academy wanted to continue advancing, staying within The Mortal Realm had its limitations.

The Chaos Realm, as the strongest of the six worlds today aside from the Immortal Realm.

It was much stronger than The Mortal Realm in all aspects.

They must still send outstanding students to the Chaos Realm for experience.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Hong Ying’s eyes narrowed slightly, suppressing endless fury as she countered.

The elder’s expression was indifferent, and he snorted coldly, “Since you have suspicions, if you do not cooperate, then I will have to enforce it by force.”

With that, the elder waved his hand.

Above everyone, the dark clouds were instantly pierced by a colossal golden light.

Within that golden light, there were over a hundred cultivators in silver light armor, each holding long spears, floating in the air.

And every one of them had an extremely powerful aura!

Seeing this, people from other academies in the Chaos Realm watched with cold indifference.

After all, it did not affect their interests.

People from the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm, however, drew closer to Hong Ying and her group.

“Heh, what use is it for the weak to band together?” The elder threatened Hong Ying, “Head of Azure Heaven Academy, think carefully. If you cooperate, it’s just a loss of face for one person; hand over the divine item, and there’s nothing more to it. But if you still want to resist, then your Azure Heaven Academy will need to choose a new head…”

Hearing this.

Hong Ying first frowned, then responded with a faint smile, “Then let’s try.”

Huh?

Seeing Hong Ying’s attitude, the elder from the academy of historical relics was taken aback.

Where did this confidence come from?

As the elder was wary of this question.

Around the ship, dazzling lightning flashed!

Those bolts of lightning were surrounding the ship.

At first glance, the lightning did not seem threatening, but the elder, wise from experience, had his expression change drastically and ordered, “Quick! Attack with full strength!” while reaching out a hand towards the Azure Heaven Academy ship, trying to affect the space of that area.

But the interference was unsuccessful.

The transportation formation, primarily based on the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman, did not need to borrow space.

In the moment before they vanished.

Hong Ying looked at the elder whose face was as cold as water, and laughed, “We in Azure Heaven Academy will remember this incident. We will return the favor one day; I hope the elder lives long enough to see it with his own eyes…”

She had said only half of it when the entire ship disappeared from the surface of the sea.

These words still echoed in the ears of everyone present…
