Chapter 262 Counterattack Deployment, The Counterattack from Peach Blossom Academy
Bell~
hum~
The wind rustles the peach blossom bells, the setting sun shines on the blood-red waves.

A gentle breeze stirred the peach blossom bells in the academy, producing a faint sound, but it lacked the cheerful and studious atmosphere of the past, only a somber tone.

"Get up. This is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is me."

“You are in the open, while the villains are in the shadows. It’s hard to guard against a hidden arrow. I neglected the evil in human nature.”

"Fortunately, you are all still alive."

"Even though the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect aren't involved this time, other forces might still be plotting. We need to learn from past mistakes and take heed of them."

"Especially you, Zhuqing, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Su Ran looked at his disciples returning covered in blood, his eyes filled with heartache, and personally helped them up one by one.

When he returned, every disciple was severely injured. They were only slightly better after being healed by the Nine-Heart Begonia. However, their unwavering belief in protecting the academy deeply moved Su Ran.

Su Ran really wanted to tell them, "Actually, the academy is not as important as you. Flowers and plants can be replanted, and the academy can be rebuilt. None of them are as important as your lives."

However, Su Ran couldn't bring himself to say it, because this was something they wanted to protect from the bottom of their hearts. He didn't want to discourage his disciples' efforts and beliefs; that would be very disappointing. So, he could only give each of them a thumbs up.

"You are all great."

"Yes, you are all great."

"If you have to blame someone, don't blame Dean Su, and don't blame these kids. Blame this old poisoner!"

Dugu Bo stepped forward, and said with shame:
"I discovered that Tang Hao had come to steal flowers and plants again. Although I stopped him, he escaped with serious injuries. I didn't expect him to dare to join forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Star Luo Royal Family to start a war. If I had been more diligent in my cultivation and become stronger, I could have poisoned him back then, and this wouldn't have happened today."

"Alright, now that things have come to this, stop rushing in to take responsibility. It's too dramatic."

Su Ran said calmly:
"Moreover, we cannot afford to be complacent."

"Don't forget, we only defeated the Star Luo Empire's 300,000-strong army. The Star Luo Empire still retains its fighting strength, and the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect have not yet launched their full-scale attack."

"This time, we can no longer hold out in Peach Blossom Academy. We must fight back until we crush the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Haotian Clan, and until the Star Luo Empire loses its fighting power."

After Su Ran finished speaking, the disciples, including Dugu Bo and Yue Guan, all lit up. Teacher Su, you've made up your mind?!

"Dean Su is right. Although we seem to have won this time, it has actually resulted in mutual destruction. We must take the initiative and let other forces know that Peach Blossom Academy is not a coward, nor can we be manipulated by others! If they harbor evil intentions and shake the foundation of the academy, the academy will make them pay a heavy price!"

Dugu Bo responded immediately. At this moment, he wished he could run to Xingluo City and poison everyone in the royal family, officials, and citizens!
"Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, obey my command!"

"The disciple is here!"

"You are of noble birth from the Star Luo Empire and are quite familiar with it. I command you to take my weapons and lead Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu, Mu Yunzhu, Mu Yunteng, Zhu Zhuyu, and Yao Zi to Hanhai City immediately to join Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and the others to annihilate the Star Luo Empire's 200,000 hidden troops! Afterwards, in coordination with the Pope's Palace Soul Master team, we will storm the Star Luo royal family, destroy the Dai royal clan, and change the world!"

"Yes!"

When Su Ran gave his first order, everyone present was thrilled.

This is the power of a small academy to shake up a vast empire.

Besides Taoyuan Academy, who else has such courage?
"Dong'er, Elder Ju, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Yu Yuanzhen is dead and no longer has any deterrent power. We need you to go and resolve this."

Su Ran entrusted Bibi Dong and Yue Guan with this task.

Bibi Dong nodded: "Leave it to us."

"Xiao Wu, go to the City of Slaughter and summon Rongrong, Lingling, and Nana. Together with Elder Poison, go to Tiandou City to negotiate with the Tiandou Royal Family, seize territory, and obtain national provisions." Su Ran turned to Xiao Wu and instructed her.

Xiao Wu finally found her mother in the back mountain, and nodded vigorously while holding the little white rabbit:
"Teacher, I'll go right now."

"Professor Su, what about me? What can I do for the college?"

Liu Erlong asked, feeling somewhat uneasy. She had never been liked by the disciples of Peach Blossom Spring and had the lowest presence, but she also wanted to do her part for the academy.

Su Ran gazed intently at her, her hand gestures shifting. The golden headband atop Liu Erlong's head emitted faint golden light, slowly loosening and being removed. She then spoke:

"Little Koi is still young and needs someone trustworthy to take care of her. You have been sweeping the academy for many years, and I trust you. Please stay at the academy during this time and take care of Little Koi while Dong'er is not around."

"This golden hoop may have caused you considerable suffering before, but it is also a rare treasure. Now I will teach you the incantation and method to activate it. This Vajra Heart-Righting Hoop can measure people's hearts and restrain their desires. It is also a top-level defensive weapon, enough to withstand a Super Douluo's fatal blow."

Clearly, Liu Erlong's act of risking her life to protect the child had earned Su Ran's trust.

Su Ran touched Liu Erlong's forehead with her fingertip, and a thought surged into her mind—Sanskrit chants, extremely sacred.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath, deeply moved. Trust… Teacher Su said he trusts me… These words brought tears to her eyes. She lowered her head and said:
"Okay...okay, I will manage the academy well and protect the young dean."

Liu Erlong looked at the little koi with pity. At this moment, she regarded the little girl as her own child from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't cry~Don't cry~"

The little girl seemed to be more sensitive to emotions than ordinary people. She reached out her little hand to Liu Erlong's face, who was looking down, and her grandmother comforted her.

Liu Erlong then wiped his eyes, looked up, and smiled.
"Auntie didn't cry, it was Little Koi who cried."

"Hum~"

"Dean Su, what about the Haotian Sect? People from the Star Luo Empire, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Heaven Dou Royal Family have all gone to negotiate, but it seems no one is paying attention to the Haotian Sect? I think the Haotian Sect is also very despicable."

Yue Guan noticed the blind spot and, thinking Su Ran had forgotten, quickly reminded her.

"I will go to Haotian Sect myself."

Su Ran said calmly. Previously, he had already searched Tang Hao's memories to find the hidden place of the Haotian Sect. Tang Chen, Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao were all dead, leaving only the four affiliated sects and a bunch of rabble from the Haotian Sect. It wouldn't take him much time.

"Why should the teacher personally intervene!"

"Don't forget, we, the Spirit Hall, are also here!"

"Our Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect have a long-standing feud, and it's time to settle it. Besides, we can also make a contribution to the academy!"

Outside the academy, a golden-clad angel slowly flew over and asked for orders.

"Xue'er, what brings you here too?"

Upon seeing the woman's sacred figure appear, Su Ran smiled faintly.

Qian Renxue smiled gently on her exquisite face and glanced at Bibi Dong:

"Teacher, don't forget, the Spirit Hall is involved in the Soul Master Competition. How could I not go if I have the opportunity to witness your talent and the charm of my junior sisters?"

"When I learned that she had cut off the head of the Star Luo Emperor and was rushing to the academy, I had a premonition that something terrible had happened, and sure enough, it had."
