Chapter 394 (2/2)
“It’s truly difficult for that fellow to get hot-blooded, for once.” Su Ling’er also felt surprised as she leaned towards Su Xuan and whispered.
Su Xuan cast a look towards He Yao with her beautiful eyes. Seeing her looking over, He Yao’s body started to quietly grow straighter. This time, he did not see the cold and detached expression that was usually present within her eyes. It even had faint traces of reverting to the normal gaze she had used in the past, causing him secretly feel slightly emotional.
The entire atmosphere within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy seemed to be roused by the awe-inspiring display of Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and He Yao. Quite a few students rubbed their hands together, itching to step into the top ten ranks and truly fight bravely for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Feeling this roused atmosphere, a smile appeared on Xu Huang’s face as he felt as though the blood within his body had started to boil. Being a member of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he should not be backing down at this moment.
Therefore, under the proud and admiration-filled beautiful eyes of Xu Qingqing standing beside him, Xu Huang had also taken a step forward.
At another corner of the crowd, Zhao Qingshan and Mu Fengyang shot a look at each other, noticing the helpless smiles on each other’s faces. At this time, if they were to back down, they might truly be looked down upon by everyone. Their pride and arrogance weren’t weaker than any other person’s. Therefore, at the moment when Xu Huang had stepped forward, they too had done the same.
Following this, with great emotions swirling within them, countless students noticed that of the top ten ranks on the Heavenly Rankings, other than Mu Chen, Luo Li and Su Xuan, all of the rest had actually stood up. This awe-inspiring spectacle caused the blood of the crowd to boil and surge. Regardless of the usual conflicts and battles between cliques within the academy, at this critical moment, the unity present within the academy truly made all of them feel proud and honored for being in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
As Dean Tai Cang and the various other Elders looked at the awe-inspiring spectacle unfurling before their eyes, all of them gawked, before looking at each other and the bitter smiles present on their faces. However, what came with those bitter smiles were gratification and pride. When their students were truly able to stand up and fight for the honor and glory of the academy, who dared to say that this wasn’t the success of their spiritual academy?
Waving his hand to silence the flared voices that blotted the skies, Dean Tai Cang announced with a gentle smile, “Three days from now, I’ll bring Mu Chen towards the Divine Spiritual Mountain. After that matter, our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will reopen the Door of the Northern Depths!”
Hearing his proclamation, countless students were loudly cheering. This time, for the sake of protecting the title of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy as one of the Five Great Academies, everyone was willing to do their utmost, with no expense spared.
Looking at the spiritual academy that was filled with boiling emotions, Mu Chen gave a faint smile, before slowly clenching his fists. Since everyone was going to give their all, he, of all people, couldn’t slack behind. At the very least, he had to fight for the face of their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy at the Divine Spiritual Mountain…
In a giant jet-black hall, the cold and dark atmosphere suppressed everything within it.
Within the centremost position of the giant hall, the Black Dragon Sovereign suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold and dark glow surfaced within them. Raising his head, he looked towards a dark corner of the giant hall before saying in an indifferent voice, “I’ve confirmed the news. The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain this time. As for the participant, it’s the person that has obtained our Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Mu Chen.”
“Haha! The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy truly has some guts. Those brats of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that are still wet behind their ears actually dares to participate in such an occasion…” A chilling and dark radiance surfaced in the dark, as a human figure faintly appeared, bringing along an overcast laughter resounding throughout the giant hall.
“It’s also good for them to come…however, how do we go about implementing our plan? Over the years, we’ve been patiently enduring for too long,” asked the Black Dragon Sovereign with a faint smile.
“Has everything been appropriately prepared? That old mixed hair bird of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s big trouble.” A deep and dark voice rang out from another corner of the giant hall.
“Yes, rest assured. There will be people that will naturally deal with that old mixed hair bird,” replied the Black Dragon Sovereign as he nodded his head. As dark hatred bloomed to their extreme limit within his eyes, he slowly spoke out, “This time, we’ll let the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy know that we, the Demonic Dragon Palace, are still the strongest in the Northern Heavens Continent!”
“Also, we must get back our Great Meru Demonic Pillar…that’s the treasure of our Demonic Dragon Palace.”
With a faint smile, the Black Dragon Sovereign spoke out once again, “Since that brat dares to participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain, that will be all too good…”
As his voice rang out, he waved his sleeve, only for the space within the giant hall to violently warp and distort. In the next moment, it turned into a spatial pathway, within which intense ear-piercing shrieks and screeches continuously rang out, akin to the howling of thousands of demons. As it took form, a thin and frail black figure slowly walked out from the jet-black pathway.
Covered in ordinary hemp clothing, the figure had a rather common look. His pair of eyes appeared with a greyish-black tint, akin to a pool of stagnant water, with not a single emotional fluctuation present within. A long black spear was carried on his back, encased in howling black figures that emitted ear-piercing ghostly wails and wolf howls.
After leaving the spatial pathway, not a single movement was seen from him as he stood there, just like a cold and frosty piece of rock.
“Xingtian, three days from now, be prepared to participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain. Your mission this time is to kill the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Mu Chen, and retrieve the Great Meru Demonic Pillar from his hands!” Looking at the stone-like figure that seemed to not possess much vitality, the Black Dragon Sovereign gave his orders in a slow voice.
Slightly raising his seemingly dead eyes, the cold and frosty figure gently nodded his head, before turning around, not uttering a single word since his appearance.
However, this strangeness brought a chill to anyone who would see this spectacle.
