The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 170: The Arrival of Violent Storms

Prospective students of the Star Emperor Academy departed from the Dark Forest. The news of the Mountain's death quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital and caused a huge commotion.

Although many knew about the Mountain from the Star Emperor Academy, he was not that famous when placed in the perspective of the entire Royal Capital. As for why his death caused such a huge commotion, because right now, the relationship between the Royal Academy and the Star Emperor Academy was as thin as paper. And now that a student of the Star Emperor Academy was killed in the Dark Forest, how could one not want to speculate on the reason behind it?

All sorts of rumors flared up, and finally, the spearhead of the mistake pointed to the strained relationship between the two sides.

Within Chu, the position of the Star Emperor Academy was always unrivalled. And with regards to high-ranking entities like the Star Emperor Academy, the Royal Clan had always adopted a tolerant attitude. But now with the merging of the Royal Academy and the God Martial Palace, their goal was to weaken the prestige and reputation of the Star Emperor Academy, causing the thin line of balance to finally be shattered. Did the Royal Academy finally get tired of tolerating the existence of Emperor Star Academy?

The Chu citizens would naturally not know why the Royal Clan would choose this period of chaos to attack. Currently, the State of Chu is engulfed by the flames of war as

the rebels stormed the other Chu cities steadily and decisively, constantly urging closer and closer to the Royal Capital. This could be said to be one of the most difficult times in Chu history.

There are rumors saying that Chu forces have been retreating for a long time and are ready to hand over control of half the country to the rebels. As the saying goes, strong when united, weak when divided. The Royal Clan had no choice but to surrender and could only consolidate their power by handing over control.

At this moment, within the extremely luxurious hall within Chu Palace, there were several figures lined up on both sides. However, the person sitting on the master chair was actually not Chu Tianjiao but Xiao Lan instead.

Xiao Lan leaned comfortably on her chair, with both of her hands tapping the armrest of the chair according to the unexpected rhythm.

"How are you preparing?" Xiao Lan asked calmly.

"There is no problem by my side, but when will the experts from the Nine Mystical Palace arrive?" Chu Tianjiao replied respectfully.

"In two days, I guess." Xiao Lan's gaze shifted from Chu Tianjiao to Xiao L ⁇ as she continued to ask, "What about Snowcloud's side?"

"So soon, they'll be here in three days." Xiao L ⁇ replied.

Only now did Xiao Lan nod while closing her eyes. It was only after a while that he spoke again, “Xiao L ⁇ , that I should trouble you this time. If this matter is successful, I will report this back to the upper echelons of the Nine Mystical Palace. Your branch may be able to return. "

"Thank you, Brother." Xiao L's face was full of smiles. Almost no one knew that the Snowcloud Imperial Clan was actually one of the main Xiao Clan branch families of the Nine Mystical Palace.

“Time is running out. During these few days, I will send people to secretly provoke the Star Emperor Academy and force them to make a move. ”Chu Tianjiao laughing. As for why he chose to act against the Star Emperor Academy in the midst of this period of chaos, it was because this was an incredible opportunity. The Nine Mystical Palaces who had never once bothered themselves with regards to governing the countries under their rule wanted to move against the Star Emperor Academy.

Chu Tianjiao did not know what exactly the reason was. Xiao Lan was a descendant of the Xiao Clan, which was one of the three great factions within the Nine Mystical Palace. Since he came here, he must have had a reason. Chu Tianjiao did not need to ask, and moreover she also knew that it was not her place to ask.

Although Xiao Lan looked relaxed, she actually had a burden on her mind. It was not easy to defeat the Emperor Star Academy.

Back then in the past, Luo Tianya wanted to do the same but to no avail. Behind the Star Emperor Academy was the shadow of the Azure Emperor Palace. If the Nine Mystical Palaces really sent their Heavenly Angel Sovereigns to take action, the Azure Emperor Palace would definitely intervene.

Before this, Xiao Lan had never noticed this. But now, he could vaguely sense there was a connection; it all pointed to the secret that the Azure Emperor had hidden in the Star Emperor Academy.

There were three shrines within the Star Emperor Academy. Heavenly Star Pavilion, Astral River Hall, and Dreamsky Forest. Where among these three sacred reasons will the secret be hidden within?

Qin Wentian had already set foot in the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. They had also once considered kidnapping him and using force to interrogate Qin Wentian but soon gave up the plan due to the deterrence of Gongyang Hong. This is not the time to antagonize someone at the Heavenly Dipper level. If they wanted to make a move against Qin Wentian, it would be best if there were no implications. After all, they were not sure how deep the relationship between Gongyang Hong and Qin Wentian was.

Although the main branch of the Xiao Clan would not be afraid of Gongyang Hong, if the Sovereign Heavenly Dipper went insane, their descendants from the other branches had a very high possibility of being completely annihilated. That's not worth it.

As for the death of Mountain, they could not be bothered.

Although they would not be bothered, the Star Emperor Academy took this matter very seriously.

Today, the Star Emperor Academy had deliberately set up stone tablets for the Mountain and Zi Jun. This stone tablet was erected under the Emperor Star Monument. Although Zi Jun was not officially a student of the Star Emperor Academy, the introductions carved into the stone monument introduced him as one of the most talented young genius students ever enrolled.

This was unprecedented in the history of the Star Emperor Academy. The Emperor Star Monument was a symbol of the glory and milestones of the academy throughout history, and there had never been the death of a student inscribed in it, not even once.

However, this time, the Star Emperor Academy made an exception and did so.

A cold wind blew, bringing a sense of sadness. There were several silhouettes standing in front of the Emperor Star Monument, as well as many Elders. They all had serious expressions on their faces as they stared at the stone tablet.

Stone tablet making was Ren Qianxing's idea. He wanted the Star Emperor Academy to carve this memory into their history. This was not a simple assassination, and it had a high possibility of becoming a tacit declaration of war.

Perhaps 1,000 years from now, if the Star Emperor Academy was still around, this piece of history would still be mentioned by later generations. But if the Star Emperor Academy disappeared, then everything would not be a problem anymore.

So when Ren Qianxing brought up the suggestion, all the Elders had a shocking look at this.

Behind the academy elders, many students gathered. They were all flabbergasted as to why Mountain as well as the students who had yet to be enrolled would make their stone tablets erected under the Star Emperor Monument, but after an explanation, the, they all understood that this incident had a high possibility of becoming an academy historical incident.

After this, a violent storm of conflict would suddenly bring up an important incident.

"Prince Chu 3, Chu Tianjiao paid an official visit to the Star Emperor Academy." On the horizon, a voice echoed throughout the entire Star Emperor Academy, causing the crowd to make a ruckus.

Very quickly, the silhouettes of Chu Tianjiao and a few others were seen. The arrival of these people shocked the Star Emperor Academy. The crowd automatically opened a path, when Chu Tianjiao and his people arrived in front of the Star Emperor Monument.

The elders of the academy slowly turned around as they stared directly at Chu Tianjiao and his people.

Upon seeing Ye Wuque, Wu Chong, and Wang Teng among the visitors, an extremely cold aura and killing intent emanated out from Qin Wentian's body.

Beside him, a small and petite hand slipped into his hand, gently touching his palm. Sensing the warmth of that hand, Qin Wentian froze for a moment as he turned around and saw Mo Qingcheng smiling at him, as if he was telling him to be patient. Only then did he pull his aura.

Chu Tianjiao continued forward, walking towards the monument. In front of them, a figure stood still there with his back facing them, blocking their path.

This guy is none other than a Mustang.

Without a choice, Chu Tianjiao and his people bowed and paid their respects to the stone tablet. They could not have predicted that the Star Emperor Academy would erect a stone tablet under the monument just for Mountain and Zi Jun.

The actions of the Star Emperor Academy gave them tremendous pressure.

This is a silent proclamation. Somehow, the deaths of the two became the glue that caused the people in the Star Emperor Academy to become even more united. Chu Tianjiao turned her head back and glanced at the various faces standing in the crowd as she sighed in her heart.

"Reverend Elder, Chu Tianjiao has something to say, I wonder if it is suitable to say it?" Chu Tianjiao looked at the crowd as she asked.

No one answered. The silence of such an atmosphere made them seem as if they wanted to smash it to pieces.

"Speak." A moment later, Ren Qianxing spoke coldly.

"Right now, the Chu Royal Academy has joined the God Martial Palace, combining their influences. The Royal Clan hopes to create a stronger martial academy and hopes that the Star Emperor Academy will approve our merger request. "Chu Tianjiao slowly continued," In this way, the consolidated main force of the three academies will be born. Regardless of the teacher or resources, we would then have an almost endless supply for the students. Not only that, I can promise to leave everything about the Star Emperor Academy untouched. ”

After hearing Chu Tianjiao's words, many cold smiles on their faces. He wants to devour Emperor Star Academy? Is that possible?

"As long as Emperor Star Academy agrees, all of your academy's teachers and students will be able to receive a large amount of cultivation resources each month." Chu Tianjiao added, but as before, only silence answered him.

"SCRAM." A cold voice resounded in the silence of the silent atmosphere. The one who spoke was a Mustang. His back was still facing them, and he did not move to look at them. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and suppress the boiling anger within him.

Chu Tianjiao froze, but she immediately recovered with a smile on her face. He bowed again to the Star Emperor Academy Elder as he replied, "Chu Tianjiao from the junior generation bid farewell."

After which, Chu Tianjiao and the other visitors prepared to leave.

"Wait." Ren Qianxing said, causing Chu Tianjiao to stop in her footsteps.

“From this moment onwards, the Star Emperor Academy is forbidden for you to enter. For those who enter without permission, we will kill upon sight regardless of the identity of that person. "Ren Qianxing's voice faded as killing intent echoed through the air. The coldness of the voice caused Chu Tianjiao's heart to tremble involuntarily. But quickly after, the corners of his lips curved upwards in a cold smile. He continued in his footsteps, departing from the Star Emperor Academy.

The Star Emperor Academy did not directly act against Chu Tianjiao right now. First, there is no proper justification. Secondly, if they were to really deal with these people here and now, the ones who would face calamity were the students from their academy. Other innocent students might be completely annihilated in cold revenge.

This is their bottom line. Even if the war really erupted, they would still maintain this unless the bottom line of each side was already torn to shreds.

Francis arrived at the academy, and knowing the relationship between him and Qin Wentian, they allowed Francis to enter and leave freely. This time, he brought all the cultivation resources Qin Wentian had requested, which the Divine Weapon Pavilion had painstakingly collected.

After receiving the resources, Qin Wentian began his cultivation. His heart was filled with bitter anger, but he knew that his current strength was far from enough.

Within days of that incident, the Royal Academy felt extremely peaceful, but many knew that this was just the calm before the fierce storm.

Both the Star Emperor Academy and the Royal Clan did not make a move; although both sides were waiting for something.

These few days, there were people flying over Chu airspace, directly into Chu Palace while at the same time, quite a number of people left the Star Emperor Academy. All of these deserters were from the Knight Association. They had decided to change their allegiance, and upon seeing this incident, the other students of the Star Emperor Academy felt that indeed, a fierce storm would descend on them for a while.
