However, no one would have thought that not only did Lu Chen leave in one piece, even Orthodox Unity Hall Lord and the elders did not stop him in the slightest. What exactly was happening?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, even Nan Hongyi, who was standing on the sidelines, had a questioning look on her face.
But why would Lu Chen need to explain it to them? He could only return to the Kungwu Hall and was even prepared to clash with the entire Orthodox Unity Hall. However, Orthodox Unity Hall Lord gave in.
This confused Lu Chen. He looked at the jade mark in Fu Feng's hand and seemed to understand something. Presumably, this jade mark was not as simple as he had imagined.
When Lu Chen left the Orthodox Unity Hall, another shocking piece of news came. Orthodox Unity Hall Lord suggested that Lu Chen become the head disciple of Extreme Tao Academic Palace, and at the same time deliver the reward from killing all the disciples of Ann Lan in Black Rock Mountain Range!
After all the ruckus in Orthodox Unity Hall, not only did Lu Chen not receive the slightest bit of punishment, instead, he even received Orthodox Unity Hall Lord's reward?
Everyone was flabbergasted, but some of the higher ups understood that this was Orthodox Unity Hall Lord's attitude on the surface. If anyone dared to say that he was going to hand over Lu Chen in the future, he was afraid that he would have to pass through Orthodox Unity Hall first.
It was hard for anyone to imagine why Orthodox Unity Hall Lord would make such a decision. He even returned the title of chief disciple of Lu Chen without making the elders embarrassed.
Different in status as the chief disciple of two halls, the chief disciple of Extreme Tao Academic Palace was even higher than the first two. His status even surpassed most of the elders, and he even had the qualifications to enter the Procedural Hall to participate in the decisions of the academy.
This was a supreme honor.
Although the entire academy was talking about it, there was not much doubt about it. Lu Chen's strength was there, and even several elders were not his match. Who could still suppress him when he continued to grow in the future?
Even Orthodox Unity Hall Lord had no choice but to back down. Some of the Tai Yi elders even warned their disciples not to talk about Lu Chen and Kungwu Hall behind their backs, in case something like this happened to them as well.
Although Lu Chen had caused a huge disturbance, it was not worth mentioning when compared to the turmoil in the Wasteland Region.
The Extreme Tao Academic Palace did not indicate that they should hand over Lu Chen. Several ancient empires related to the Academy had been purged by mysterious experts, and other than the imperial family, even the commoners had been harmed. A total of several large cities had been destroyed.
Although Everlasting Saint Palace did not admit it openly, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was Everlasting Saint Palace launching an attack.
In less than a few days, the few ancient empires near the Extreme Tao Academic Palace Wonderland were invaded by terrifying experts, and among them, there were even some who brazenly made their moves, erasing an entire ancient country. Millions of Human Clan were killed just like that, and the consequences were even worse than the consequences brought by the Demonic Beast tide.
Many of these ancient country's rulers came from Extreme Tao Academic Palace, and there were even experts and descendants within the academy. Now that they had suffered such a miserable bloodbath, it caused the entire academy to be greatly angered.
"The people from the Everlasting Saint Palace are too much."
"They actually attacked ordinary people. This is to completely cut off the foundation of our Extreme Tao Academic Palace."
"We can't sit idly by. We request the two hall masters to quickly make a decision. If they want to fight, who's afraid of who?"
If they had only attacked the disciples of the academy, it would be difficult for them to have such a strong reaction. After all, all the disciples of the academy came from ordinary cultivators. That was the true foundation of the academy.
This included many of the disciples who were born in the ancient kingdom's imperial court. When they found out that their homeland had been destroyed, they were so angry that their teeth would start to itch. If it wasn't for their elders stopping them, they would have already rushed out of the holy abode to fight against the people from Everlasting Saint Palace to the death.
With the movement of Everlasting Saint Palace, Lu Chen naturally couldn't continue to cultivate in peace in Kunwu Mountain. In the end, it was still with him that the Everlasting Saint Palace was acting as the reason.
If it was in the past, Lu Chen would naturally ignore it. But this time was different, he was not only a Kungwu Hall disciple, he was now the Extreme Tao Academic Palace's head disciple.
A few days later, Lu Chen walked into the conference hall of the Academy. He only needed to stay for less than an hour before he left.
No one knew where Lu Chen went, it was as if he had disappeared into the Extreme Tao Academic Palace.
Not only Lu Chen, even the outstanding disciples such as Orthodox Unity Hall's Liu Qing and Taiyi Hall's Jun Mo all disappeared from the academy.
The night was dark, and this was the Ancient Phoenix Country. The previously brightly lit imperial city was in ruins, only a few palaces were left standing in the cold wind.
"I thought this Fengyang Ancient Kingdom's imperial capital was very powerful, but I never thought that it would actually be unable to block the three strikes of our Seventh Elder."
"You didn't see it in the day. The Seventh Elder destroyed this Imperial City Protecting Array with just a few palm strikes, and even shattered the Ancient Phoenix Empire's ruler to pieces."
"It's a pity that there are so many citizens in this imperial city. If you have to blame something, you can only blame this Ancient Phoenix Nation's master for not knowing what's good for him. He refused to submit to our Everlasting Saint Palace even as he was about to die."
Beside the bonfire, an older Everlasting Saint Palace disciple vividly described the events of the day's battle to a dozen junior brothers and sisters.
What he said was extremely vivid, coupled with his exaggerated actions, it made the blood and sweat of these Everlasting Saint Palace young disciples, who had just come out from the mundane world, surge.
In the past, they had been nurtured like seedlings and hadn't taken a single step out of the Sacred Palace during several great battles. Now, however, they rarely had the opportunity to come to the battlefield.
"Senior Brother Zhao, Seventh Elder usually looks short and thin, but I never thought that he would be so fierce when fighting. This time, he's been watching us for a long time, so why don't he let us head to the Spirit Jade Empire?"
A pretty female disciple asked with a crisp voice while blinking her large eyes. Clearly, he was also a militant and was looking forward to a hearty battle.
"Soul Jade Empire? That's not a place we can go. " Hearing this, the man laughed dryly, then immediately explained: "That place is extremely close to the exit of the Extreme Tao Academic Palace Wonderland, and you can face countless powerful enemies at any time. The cultivation of you people are still too weak, if you had senior brother's cultivation of Middle Period Of Life And Death Stage, you might even have the qualifications to participate in a few matches."
"Fine."
The pretty female disciples were slightly disappointed, but there was nothing they could do, even though they were all Everlasting Saint Palace disciples, their cultivations were relatively weaker, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged to guard this place.
"Don't be too disappointed, this place is not far from the Soul Jade Empire, and we can encounter attacks from Extreme Tao Academic Palace disciples at any time. We have to be on guard as well."
"Senior-apprentice Brother's words are reasonable."
Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads. Ancient Phoenix Nation was an area of influence within the Extreme Tao Academic Palace to begin with. Now that it had been annihilated by the Everlasting Saint Palace, it was indeed possible that they would encounter a counterattack at any time.
