Woo! Woo!

A loud siren was heard, and it echoed throughout the entire Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. The Spiritual Academy was always bustling with noise, but now, an even bigger commotion broke out.

All of the terrified students were looking toward the outside of the spiritual array, where an overwhelming demonic aura was sweeping in from the faraway sky. “The Extraterritorial Race is attacking us!” someone shouted in a panic.

Ye Qingling, Shen Changsheng, and Wen Qingxuan were at standing beside the lake when they saw this. All of them were looking grave, and their bodies were tensed up.

“Elder Sister!” At this time, Sun’Er flitted gently over to Ye Qingling, her bright eyes filled with worry.

Ye Qingling took a deep breath, then said calmly, “Gather the students and calm them down. Do not fuel the chaos, but do prepare for the worst-case scenario. If the situation is beyond our control, arrange for the students to escape through the Transfer Spiritual Array.”

The Extraterritorial Race had always been mighty. As such, trying to stop them with the strength of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy alone would be nearly impossible. So, they had to prepare for the worst.

Sun’Er bit her cherry-red lips. She also understood the vast difference between the two parties’ strengths. As such, she nodded her head and instantly did as she was instructed.

“After so many years, we’re fighting as a team together again,” Ye Qingling said with a smile as she cast her beautiful gaze on Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and the rest.

Shen Cangsheng returned a faint smile to her as she looked at he looked at her with fearless eyes. A long spear was in his hand, and as he clenched his fist, he looked at Li Xuantong and said, “Back then, you lost to me! Care to compete again now?”

“I can’t wait!” Li Xuantong chuckled, while his spiritual energy surged around him, causing his robe to flap loudly.

“With me around, neither of you will be able to steal the limelight!” Wen Qingxuan pouted her red lips. The confidence she displayed made her look like a proud peacock.

Roar!

Just when their battle desires were building up, a deafening dragon roar echoed through the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Then, a black beam of light darted out and a figured appeared in the sky.

An old man with a bald head appeared. He looked very stern. Claps of thunder could be heard all around him, and he emitted a fierce and mighty oppression.

“Lord Sea Dragon!” When the old man revealed his presence, the entire Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy exploded into loud cheers, while calling out his name in unison.

All of the students were staring at him with passionate eyes. After all, the fame of the Northern Sea Dragon was known throughout the entire realm!

Despite all of the cheers, the Northern Sea Dragon did not relax his stern expression. As he stared at the vast incoming demonic aura, he could sense a stinging pain on his skin. It was clear that a compelling existence was among this group from the Extraterritorial Race.

Shua! Shua!

One by one, figures darted out from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy and stood behind the Northern Sea Dragon. They were all experts from the five branches.

Chief Tai Cang also appeared beside the Northern Sea Dragon. As he looked at the latter, his heart sank.

“Tai Cang, we must prepare for the worst.” Sensing Chief Tai Cang’s gaze upon him, the Northern Sea Dragon sighed, then spoke softly.

When Chief Tai Cang heard this, his body could not help but jerk in response, while a look of utter dejection could be seen in his eyes. He had never expected that the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy would be destroyed under his rule.

“If that’s the case, I will fight to the death to buy more time for the students to escape.” Tai Cang clutched his hands tightly as he spoke with determination. After all, as he was the Chief of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, he could not possibly abandon his students.

Northern Sea Dragon also smiled as he patted Tai Cang on the shoulder and said, “I have guarded the academy for so many years. If the academy is going to be destroyed today, I’ll also perish in defense of it.”

Tai Cang opened his mouth, as he wanted to comment as well, but the Northern Sea Dragon waved his hand to stop him. So, Tai Cang could only give him a respectful bow.

Shoo!

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, Ye Qingling and the rest then flitted into the air and landed behind Chief Tai Cang. They all then announced in unison, “Chief, we will also stay with the academy!”

Tai Cang looked at them with warmth in his eyes. “Children, you’re now even better than your masters. However, all of you are our future hopes. There is no need for you to perish here today. Instead, I hope you will flee with as many students as possible. That would at least save some of our younger generation to carry on our academy’s legacy in the future.”

Shen Cangsheng and the rest kept quiet as they looked at the old man’s hopeful expression. They could not utter a word of protest. Eventually, they bowed before him formally and agreed in unison, “Chief, rest assured that we will do our best.”

Tai Cang nodded his head with satisfaction. He then turned and looked at the sky outside of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy with a stern expression.

The overwhelming demonic aura was getting closer and closer to the school compound. As he scanned his eyes over the demonic aura, he could see multiple demonic figures with brutality in their eyes.

“Activate the spiritual array!” The low voice of Northern Sea Dragon resounded in the air.

Immediately, those experts who were maintaining the spiritual array in the academy circulated their energies at full force. Spiritual energy infused into the spiritual array continuously as the huge light shield that loomed over the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy solidified.

“This protection shield could defend us against attacks from multiple Heaven Sovereigns. This is our last protective barricade,” the Northern Sea Dragon said slowly as he looked at the light shield that was giving off a spiritual glow. If this array gave way, he knew that they would have to fight for their lives.

“Let’s hope that this array can keep the academy safe,” a student said, while everyone began to pray hard.

At that moment, the demonic aura that had just surged finally came to a halt. The entire world seemed to grow silent as the demonic aura whizzed by. Even the wind seemed to grind to a complete halt before vanishing. The bustling Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy also hushed at this time, while countless fearful gazes stared at the boundless demonic aura.

The demonic aura swished and swooshed until suddenly, numerous black skeleton heads flew out from it in a steady stream. On each of the skeleton heads stood a demonic figure that had a daunting demonic fluctuation, which emanated out from it like a windstorm.

Seven Demon Emperors! As they recognized the seven demonic figures, numerous despairing voices were heard immediately shouting in fear from within the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Even the Northern Sea Dragon looked disturbed at this time.

Even though he knew that a Demon Emperor would definitely show up in this round, he did not expect to have seven of them arrive! Moreover, each one of them was no weaker than him!

“It looks like the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy is doomed.” Chief Tai Cang was shivering as he mumbled the despairing words.
