Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Under the impact of the Chaos Divine Light, the golden-red shield began to vibrate slightly.

Inside the academy.

Somewhere on top of a palace.

Several red-robed figures gathered here.

These people are the people in charge of the Chi Lian Academy in Huacheng, and their authority is second only to the supreme elder Chi Yezi.

"How could that person be so arrogant as to openly attack the academy?"

Seeing the young man in white with ill intentions attacking the academy's formation, someone couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Hehehe..."

But soon, someone took over and said, "There has been no news from Elder Chi Yezi until now. Don't you know the current situation?"

The news that Chi Yezi decided to attack the Liu family was not informed to the Chi Lian Academy in advance. They were kept in the dark at first and had no idea about it.

It was not until the matter became more and more serious that the monks in the Chilian Academy realized that something was wrong.

There were two voices at that time. One was to send monks from the academy to help the Mu family and the City Lord's Mansion to intercept the monks from the Liu family who wanted to escape from Huacheng.

Another voice is to choose to stand aside and watch the two sides fight.

There are many factions within the Chi Lian Academy, and it is not a monolithic organization.

Those who advocated going to help Chi Yezi were mostly from the same faction as him, or were friends who had friendly relations with his faction.

Those who chose to stand by and watch were mostly monks who had conflicts of interest with the faction behind Chi Yezi, or had a bad relationship with him personally.

Chi Yezi's action was too sudden, so neither side could convince the other in a short period of time.

They didn't know that Chi Xinzi's incarnation, which had been sleeping deep in the academy, had secretly left the academy and went to the Liu family.

After a heated debate, after Chi Yezi's faction made some concessions in interests, they finally reached a consensus, which was to send monks from the academy to support Chi Yezi, the Liu family, and the City Lord's Mansion.

But before they could take any action, Yin You arrived in Huacheng.

After learning that the young man in white had easily dealt with the head of the Mu family, the monks from the Chi Lian Academy gave up the idea of ​​providing support.

In order to avoid retaliation from the other side, they even closed the gate of the academy and set up a defensive formation.

But the young man in white still came and tried to force his way into the palace.

Chapter 369 Waiting for a Breakthrough

"Muguzi, shut up!"

Hearing the other party's unabashedly sarcastic words, the monk who spoke first retorted angrily:

"If you hadn't hesitated and refused to take action before, would you have ended up like this?"

The monk from the academy known as "Muguzi" sneered upon hearing this: "If we had decided to take action just now, it wouldn't just be Elder Chiyezi who is in doubt about his life or death now."

What he meant was that if we had decided to take action just now, we would have been wiped out by that monk long ago.

Even Chi Yezi, a cultivator of the tenth realm, was no match for the other party, let alone these cultivators who had not even set foot in the tenth realm?

"you!?"

The monk who spoke first looked angry and was about to start cursing.

"Please be quiet."

At this moment, a slightly deep voice suddenly sounded.

The two monks from the academy who were about to quarrel quieted down upon hearing the sound, snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The one who interrupted the quarrel was a calm-looking middle-aged man, who was the Palace Master of the Chilian Academy branch in Huacheng, a ninth-level peak cultivator, Xuan Mingzi.

He has a more prominent identity, that is, the current master of the Chilian Academy and the eldest disciple of Kong Yuanzi.

With this identity, even the supreme elder Chi Yezi, a cultivator of the tenth realm, had to give him some respect, not to mention other cultivators in the academy.

Xuan Mingzi stood at the front of many monks, looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky towards the gate of the academy from afar.

Although the chaotic divine light looked terrifying, the golden-red defensive formation like the scorching sun was still as solid as a mountain, and there was no sign of being breached.

"You should be relieved now."

The middle-aged man stared into the distance for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had long anticipated that the monk from Xuelingxu would come to the academy to cause trouble, so he closed the academy gate early and activated the highest level of defense formation at all costs.

This defensive formation has an extraordinary origin. It was personally set up by a supreme elder of the Chilian Academy who was proficient in formations and spent a lot of resources. Its highest level can even block the attacks of cultivators in the tenth realm.

Just from this lavish gesture, one can see how much importance the Chi Lian Academy attaches to Huacheng, the sacred place of wood path. Even the branch palace built in the city is so luxurious.

It is precisely because of the existence of this defensive formation that the cultivators in the Chi Lian Academy have the confidence to fight against the young man in white from Xuelingxu.

"What is Chi Yezi thinking? He actually wants to attack the Liu family by force!"

When Xuan Mingzi thought of this, he felt annoyed.

Since he came to Huacheng to serve as the master of the branch palace at the order of his master more than 20 years ago, he has worked diligently and devotedly, not daring to even have the thought of slacking off.

But Chi Yezi, relying on his status as a tenth-level cultivator and the protection of his senior brother, the deputy palace master, repeatedly instructed the Mu family, which he had promoted, to stir up trouble and amass wealth for him.

Xuan Mingzi usually turned a blind eye to Chi Yezi's actions because of their respective identities, but he never expected that the other party would dare to attack the Liu family?

And it also attracted a monk from Xuelingxu who had disappeared for more than 20 years and whose strength was unknown!

Xuan Mingzi secretly used his divine mind to transmit a message to a nearby cultivator and asked, "Is there any news from Deputy Palace Master Chi Xinzi?"

After learning of the arrival of the young man in white, he ordered his men to close the gate of the academy and activate the defensive formation. He also sent people to the Chitian Palace to wake up the incarnation of Chi Xinzi who was sleeping in the palace.

This is another backup plan that the academy has prepared for them.

Two powerful Tenth Realm masters, one bright and one dark, plus a defensive formation that can withstand the attacks of Tenth Realm cultivators.

With this luxurious configuration, even if the demon army came to Huacheng, the monks of Chilian Academy would not be afraid.

But what no one expected was that their preparations were not used on the demon world in the end, but on the young man in white who was also a human cultivator.

The cultivator's face looked normal, but there was a hint of sadness in his tone when he replied through telepathy: "Palace Master, I sent people to the outside of the Red Sky Palace, but Deputy Palace Master Chi Xinzi did not respond."

Until now, his men are still outside the Red Heart Palace.

But no matter how they called out, nothing came out of it, and there was no response from the hall.

Because there is a formation covering the outside of the Chitian Palace, these cultivators cannot enter the palace in person to find out what is going on inside.

When Xuan Mingzi heard this answer, his mood, which had just relaxed a little, became tense again.

no respond?

Such a big thing has already happened, could it be that Deputy Palace Master Chi Xinzi didn't notice anything unusual?

However, considering that the other party was using the spiritual energy of Huacheng to nourish his incarnation, and was probably sleeping too deeply to notice their calls, Xuan Mingzi didn't know what to say.

"Let your people continue to wait. Once there is a response from the Red Sky Palace, they must immediately explain the situation to the Deputy Palace Master Red Heart."

he ordered.

"Palace Master,"

Mu Guzi was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask, "I wonder when the reinforcements from the academy will arrive?"

Before closing the gate of the academy, Xuan Mingzi also sent a message to the Chilian Academy's headquarters, the Chilian City, explaining the situation in Huacheng and requesting reinforcements.

All the monks present in the academy knew about this matter, and after hearing Mu Guzi's words, they all turned their attention to it.

They were also very curious about this question, but no one dared to ask it before.

Some people even worried in their hearts that the message sent out by the Palace Master might have been intercepted by the monk from Xuelingxu?

If that's the case, then there's really no hope for them.

Although the defensive formation outside the academy could temporarily slow down the pace of the young man in white, it could not sustain the fight forever.

This branch of the academy has no shortage of resources, but activating the highest level of defense formation requires a huge sum of money, and maintaining the formation every moment is a crazy waste of money.

According to the estimates of some monks, with the resources currently available at the academy, the defensive formation can only last for three days at most.

If reinforcements don't arrive in three days, they will be finished.

"Please rest assured, I can sense that the message has not been intercepted."

Xuan Mingzi spoke.

He knew in his heart that the most important thing at this moment was to stabilize people's hearts, only in this way could he continue to persevere.

"The news will reach the academy headquarters tonight at the latest, and reinforcements from the academy will arrive in Huacheng by tomorrow evening at the latest."

Xuan Mingzi's tone was calm and steady when he said these words, giving people a strong sense of confidence.

Sure enough, after hearing what the Palace Master said, many of the panicked monks in the academy gradually calmed down.

That's right, as long as they keep holding on, it will be over once reinforcements arrive from the academy.

Seeing that everyone present had temporarily stabilized, Xuan Mingzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the vision in the distant sky which was still not over, and there was still lingering sorrow in his heart.

Chapter 370: Suppression without Suspense

Gradually.

The strange phenomenon above the academy gate began to slowly dissipate.

"what……?"

“The power is waning.”

"That person is finally willing to give up?"

At the top of the palace, the monks from the academy who had been paying attention to the movements at the gate were the first to notice the changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

They could clearly feel that the power of the chaotic divine light that had been continuously attacking the academy's defense formation was gradually decreasing.

The monster outside the gate finally realized that he couldn't break the academy's defense formation and decided to give up attacking with brute force?

Not only them, but Xuan Mingzi also thought so.

"It's finally calmed down,"

Xuan Mingzi said to himself: "All we have to do now is wait for reinforcements from the academy headquarters to arrive, and then everything will be over."

Even though the young man in white is very powerful and even Chi Yezi may not be his match, he is still unable to challenge the authority of the academy with just these strengths.

soon.

Under the gaze of the monks in the academy, the chaotic divine light above the gate finally dissipated, leaving only the golden-red spiritual shield still standing.

"Hahaha……"

A monk laughed wantonly: "Give up just like that?"

“That’s normal,”

Hearing this, the cultivator beside him smiled faintly: "You must know that this set of defensive formations was personally arranged by Grand Elder Wanjizi. It has seven-tenths of the power of the academy's thirty-six-circle red refining circulation formation. How can anyone break it at will?"

The Thirty-Six Zhou Tian Chi Lian Circulation Formation is the Chi Lian Academy's palace protection formation, and is praised by countless formation masters in the Five Realms as the pinnacle of formation art.

The defensive formation of the Huacheng branch palace is extremely terrifying if it can have 70% of its power.

The other monks present listened to the conversation between the two, and their originally nervous mood gradually calmed down and relaxed.

Xuan Mingzi also said: "Everyone, go and have a rest."

"Palace Master, I will leave now."

"Palace Master, fellow Taoists, see you later."

"..."

Upon hearing this, all the monks bowed and were about to leave.

They were also worried just now, and after hearing the message from the Palace Master, they immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to gather. Now that the crisis was over, they could finally go back and continue doing their own things.

But in this relaxed atmosphere, someone suddenly screamed:
