outside of shanhai city, a black-haired, white-robed man stood proudly on the scythe beast.

although it was a man and a beast, their might was monstrous. even though the academy’s protective formation had been activated, it was still unable to completely block that powerful aura.

the beasts on the city wall were even more restless. the worst of them directly lay on the ground, trembling with their tails between their legs, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.

” elder hua, this is bad. the dean is in seclusion and can’t be contacted. what should we do? ”

someone riding a two-headed monitor lizard rushed over with a panicked expression and said in a hurried tone, ”

” this defensive formation can only stop new lords. this iron-winged sickle beast has already broken through the middle stage of the sovereign king body. we can’t stop it … ”

the bald old man sitting on the red wooden chair suddenly slapped the armrest, and his angry voice resounded through the sky, ”

“iron scythe king, are you crazy? shanhai academy is directly under the red dragon emperor. even if you are the head of the royal family, you have no right to interfere in any of the matters here!”

an old man with a walking stick and a black top hat coughed and said coldly, ”

“iron sickle, do you want to betray da qian and establish a new sect? if you dare to attack the mountains and seas today, his majesty the red dragon emperor will definitely suppress your entire clan in the future!”

“establish another sect? no, no, no, what a big hat. this king can’t bear it. ”

the black-haired, white-robed man said, ” however, my son situ chi has lost his life to your shanhai college. this is a fact. ”

“if you don’t give this king an explanation, this king will block your city gates for a day.”

” you … ” the third white-bearded old man’s face was red with anger.

the iron sickle king was the lord of the royal family, but he did such a shameless thing.

it was true that he did not take the initiative to attack, but the iron-winged sickle beast had been lingering outside the city all this time. a casual dive from it could scare the mature or even complete extraordinary creatures into running away. no one dared to pass through.

if this continued, it would only affect the normal operation of the academy.

what was worse was that it would make the academy appear weak and vulnerable, damaging the prestige of the famous academies.

“bastard! you think that there’s no one in our academy?”

the bald old man cursed. ignoring the huge gap between their ranks, he was about to drive his pet up to fight.

the old man in the black top hat hit him on the shoulder and glared at him. he turned around and asked the others, ”

“have you investigated clearly? where did situ chi go? did he really die because of the academy?”

“elder xu, i’ve investigated. situ chi has entered the secret realm left behind by the gem sect, the misty city of gems. it’s been half a month.”

a middle-aged teacher replied, ” but there’s no news for now. it means that he’s dead. ”

” in fact, there’s only one third-year student who accidentally left the secret realm. the rest of the students have yet to return. ”

the bald old man was stopped and forced himself to calm down. after hearing these words, he was furious again.

“iron sickle king, did you hear that? the qualification to enter the secret realm provided by shanhai is an opportunity for cultivation.”

“whether he can go in or not, whether he’s willing to go in or not, the decision is all in your son’s hands!”

” moreover, this kind of treasure hunting and seeking opportunities is something that every master understands. life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the hands of heaven. ”

“it’s really embarrassing that you’re forcing yourself to stand up for this!”

“embarrassing? i don’t care.”

situ xuance’s tone was still as calm as before, but his face was as cold as ice.

“i’ll tell you the truth. with my son’s abilities and the treasures he has, ordinary people can’t kill him.”

” what’s more interesting is that i found a master and asked for a divination. ”

“what do you think? master’s pet spat out ten mouthfuls of blood essence and lost a hundred years of its life. it is still in a coma.”

“a mere spirit servant rank secret realm can cause such a backlash? even if there’s the power of a saint venerable, it shouldn’t be so violent!”

the white-robed middle-aged man raised his sword-like eyebrows and said with a righteous tone, ”

” therefore, i have reason to suspect that the secret realm you provided has changed. ”

” i’m not only investigating the cause of the death of my son, i’m also protecting all of you. we’re all part of da qian, and we should do our basic duties. ”

everyone looked at each other. even the most ill-tempered bald old man was somewhat speechless.

the other party had clearly made sufficient preparations.

moreover, this excuse to stir up trouble seemed weird.

but thinking about it carefully, the real situation was still open to discussion.

“could it be that there’s really a problem with the secret plane’s city of gemstones?”

“i don’t know, but as the son of a royal, he has as many life-saving items as the hair on an ox. i believe that …”

in the crowd, some teachers were whispering to each other, not knowing what was going on.

it was also at this moment that the originally translucent protective light screen suddenly turned bright red.

some energy arrows took shape, like thunder and dancing lightning, and shot in a certain direction.

at the same time, ear-piercing alarms rang throughout shanhai city. the sharp noise spread to every area, every building, and every master.

“what’s the situation? what’s that sound?”

“damn, you scared me. what are you doing …”

in the colosseum, training halls, canteens, and dormitories, countless people fled with their pets. some were at a loss and looked around, while others were shouting in panic, ”

“this is a special grade danger alert. the college … no, shanhai city will only open it when it is facing the most serious threat! something big is definitely happening!”

“could it be the iron sickle king?” someone suddenly asked. i heard that he has blocked the city gate and has already activated the first level of martial law.”

“but he really dares to charge in? this is the territory of the red dragon emperor. even a royal clan leader shouldn’t be so willful and reckless, right?”

” who knows? however, the top ten are all sending out messages to arrange for everyone to take refuge, including the ordinary instructors … ”

the first person to shout was clearly a senior. he glanced at his personal watch and said calmly,

” anyway, spread the news first, especially to the juniors in the lower grades. send someone to comfort them and don’t let anything go wrong. ”

“yes.”

“i understand.”

……

” a special-grade danger warning?! ”

on the main city gate, the expressions of the three old men who were about to die changed drastically.

the iron sickle king was clearly still standing outside the city, showing no signs of advancing.

moreover, the arrows seemed to be flying toward the core of the academy, which was the guardian altar in the middle of the corner of area 1.

what had happened?

” it’s not man-made. the formation activated automatically … ”

“since the establishment of the academy, the number of times such a situation has been triggered can be counted with one’s fingers.”

the old woman in the black hat frowned. ” no, old ban, come with me. hua, you stay here and guard the gate. ”

as she spoke, she leaped onto a strong pet that looked like a goat, but it was not a goat, and it looked like a cow, but it was not a cow. it had two pairs of wings and galloped away.

the white-bearded old man glared at situ xuance, who was in the sky, and left immediately after him.

although he looked old, he didn’t seem to be using much strength. with a few steps, he moved a hundred meters away with extreme speed.
