Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 180 — Alliances and Wars
At the same time that Liu Zhangyang and Hua Sha left, Fu Zha who was fighting Jiang Long also left the battle.
In contrast to the other squad leaders, Fu Zha left the fight in a fairly severely injured condition. The left hand of the Epsilon squad leader had to be cut off after Jiang Long used his fire technique.
Fu Zha looked at Jiang Long hatefully for a moment before leaving, he was eager to attack and tear the middle-aged man apart right now.
"In the next meeting, I will return and will kill you to become a thousand pieces!"
Jiang Long smiled faintly, "You can do it now, I can still fight to the end."
Fu Zha stared coldly at Jiang Long before snorting in annoyance and leaving the academy.
Jiang Long saw the departure of Fu Zha who was slowly disappearing from his sight, after making sure his opponent left Jiang Long fell to the ground and vomited quite a lot of blood.
Jiang Long might have managed to cut off Fu Zha's hand with his ability but instead, he also got quite a serious wound on his chest from Fu Zha's attack.
Jiang Long's injuries were deep and if left too long would endanger his life, he was grateful Fu Zha left and watched this battle have been completed.
'I have to go look for Fei'er and the others, I'm afraid they're okay...'
Jiang Long had a bad feeling when he thought of Zhou Yuan, Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou, he tried to get up and started walking but just one step moved, he vomited blood again.
Jiang Long's gaze faded further as he lost a lot of blood in the previous fight, he could not maintain his consciousness anymore so in the next second the middle-aged man fell unconscious
When Quiusui who was not far from him immediately approached Jiang Long, Quiusui was surprised by Jiang Long's internal injuries which he thought were so deep, he hurriedly treated him with his profound strength.
"How can Brother Jiang be injured to this extent, I can only heal ten percent of his injuries with my inner strength while the rest he needs a high-level healer..."
Quiusui sighed, for now at least Jiang Long could survive with his inner power science. Jiang Long had to be treated even deeper when there was a healer or the like.
The battle was over, now both the beast people race and the Sun Empire soldiers had left.
Although it had been completed yet the Four Imperial Academies had truly been destroyed, it would take a long time for this academy to be rebuilt.

"How can..."
Xie Bui had just arrived at the academy back after killing Zhou Yuan, he was shocked when he saw the situation that was beyond his shadow.
Xie Bui thought his race troops would dominate the fight but did not expect to find his troops running away.
Xie Bui was unaware of Douma's involvement in the battle, seeing this assault situation he inevitably had to admit their race had lost let alone the other four squad leaders also left the academy.
Unwilling to wait any longer, Xie Bui then left the academy territory. Xie Bui was dissatisfied with having been promised victory by Liu Zhangyang but now he and his race were threatened to be hostile by the three empires.
Xie Bui shook his head slowly, for now was not the time he thought about that, Xie Bui sped up his pace and started down the mountain.

"He's still terrible despite being sealed for hundreds of years..." Xiong Bian smiled faintly watching as his Academy had already suffered heavy damage to its buildings.
Xiong Bian sighed, he actually felt relieved that this battle had been completed but on the same side he also felt guilty for letting Douma out of her seal.
Although Douma had promised not to terrorize the population again like hundreds of years ago but Xiong Bian was worried that the Phoenix Bird would break its promise, considering he had taken hundreds of thousands of lives did not rule out the possibility of him doing something similar to his strength.
'There is no result of me worrying about the future, for now I have to think about the problem in front of me...'
The assault has ended but there is still a lot to do for Xiong Bian as the Academy Chair.
Xiong Bian went to the hall where the attendants and students of the academy were gathered there.
"Chairman Xiong, nearly seventy percent of the disciples had gathered here, some of them had minor injuries while some had deep wounds until serious injuries." Elder Ling immediately reported to Xiong Bian upon seeing his arrival to the hall.
Xiong Bian nodded upon hearing the report, he then ordered that the disciples be grouped according to the extent of the injuries they had sustained in order to make it easier for the academy elders to heal the most serious injuries first.
"Have some officers also look for the other students, they must still be around the academy."
Elder Ling nodded then said goodbye to fulfill the order.
Xiong Bian looked around the hall, he immediately took the steps that this post-attack should take but for now he had to treat the academy disciples first.
'Did he survive, given his ability he should have been able to escape this attack...' Xiong Bian suddenly recalled Zhou Yuan when he healed the wounds of the disciples, he wished the young man well now.
***
Xiong Bian immediately held a sudden meeting with the other two emperors to discuss the matter before them.
Jiang Long was not present because he was on medication and was still unconscious due to the internal injuries sustained.
Although it was only two days after the assault of the beast race had passed, Xiong Bian had slightly urged for the meeting to be held soon, the reason was simple because they had to take a step on the matter of betraying the Sun Empire.
The betrayal of the Sun Empire was indeed beyond the expectations of the emperors because no one expected Liu Zhang who was so ambitious as to rule over the entire Northern Land Continent that he had to cooperate with the beast human race.
"Emperor Jiang Qisha will definitely support us over the matter that is happening right now, we can make an alliance of three empires so as to easily defeat the Sun Empire and its allies." Guan Ning gave an opinion.
Qiusui nodded, he also thought the same for this solution. "The issue of making alliances may be a simple matter but as Emperors we must also avoid this great war as much as possible in order not to happen."
War is always a bad step to solve problems in the martial world because it will cause many casualties.
Xiong Bian agreed with that even though he believed that this matter would indeed lead to war. Even if the three empires had no intention of fighting, the Sun Empire could attack them first and make the war happen.
Xiong Bian later stated that he and the rest of the academy would join the fight against the Sun Empire if necessary. This increases the chances of victory.
No one expected that after hundreds of years since the peace of the four Empires had occurred, a great war would repeat itself on a larger scale involving other races.
