Chapter 950: Laying Plans (2/2)
It was also no accident that Wellspring was here.
“Are they not afraid of the headmaster’s rage?!”
“The two ancestors should be the strongest experts there are beneath great emperor… they aren’t afraid of any retribution at all. In fact, they might even ally with Mist Land…” another disciple answered in a trembling voice.
They were all inner academy disciples with extraordinary potential and high intelligence. It only took slight analysis for them to identify the situation at hand.
The two scarlet apes were highly ambitious not for themselves, but for the entire monster spirit race. Though the immortal dao was the dao of all now, they still desired to carve out an age of glory from it that belonged to the monster spirits alone. The Dao Academy… was their greatest obstacle!
Monster spirits had once been split into two major camps—Levitating Island and those of the ten lands. After plans laid from the Primeval Era came into fruition in the ten lands, ten ancient personages awoke in their tombs. An enormous monster spirit at peak grand pure realm from Mist Land collected all of the monster spirits in those territories.
The ten lands now represented the ten greatest races beneath the heavens. They’d been laying their plans since the Primeval Era—humans included. Now that the immortal dao traversed the heavens and the curse against great emperors was no longer, their ambitions stirred to conquer the world. Each of them wished to imitate the humans of the Primeval Era and be the sovereign of this eon.
The Dao Academy was also their obstacle.

“The headmaster won’t care about the lives of a few disciples, but senior brother Yuan Tong and senior Wellspring are his acquaintances… If something happens to them—” murmured the monster spirit girl from earlier. “The two ancestors have made a mistake. Based on the kind of person the headmaster is, he will destroy Levitating Island at all cost!
“This can’t happen! We must ask the two ancestors to take the field for the sake of Levitating Island. All will be lost if senior Wellspring dies here too!” Determination flashed across the girl’s face.
“Hold that prince off, I’ll alert the ancestors!” She suddenly shot toward the island.
“Be careful, senior sister Lan!” The remaining thirteen immediately deployed combat arts together and faced off against the approaching Lu Fuyao.
“Want to run?” A cold sneer blossomed on the prince’s face. “Die!” He stretched out a hand and pointed again, aiming for the back of the fleeing girl.
“Protect senior sister Lan!” The thirteen directed their combat arts forward and charged the prince.
They were all peerless immortals ascended from the void realm, thus bringing incredible strength to bear from a tiny battle formation they laid out together.
Face snapping with shock, Lu Fuyao whirled backward at the sudden threat and punched out at the formation.
Boom!!
An enormous collision rang through the air and shattered Wellspring’s seal of ice over the area. The thirteen disciples spat out mouthfuls of blood as they flew backward.
“Since you want to die so badly, this prince will send you on your way!” Baring his teeth with bloodlust, green scales grew out of his skin.
1. Previously, they would’ve been rejected, as Lu Yun ran the risk of doing in the great wilderness.
