Deep within the palace, in a large hall.

The dean then stood up and turned to pay his respects. "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, perhaps I should head back."

Two hours.

Is that enough?

The young man didn't answer but pondered for a moment. Perhaps it was enough!

After sending off the dean.

The officials kneeling outside also left one after another.

Not long after, a soldier came running in and plopped down on his knees. He spoke with an extremely frightened tone, "Dead, dead. Your Majesty is dead."

The young man frowned. "Talk properly? Everything is dead? "

The soldier replied in a trembling voice, "Sir Ma and the three thousand imperial guards."

The scholarly middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before his countenance changed drastically. With a 'putong' sound, he knelt down as well, and shouted in fear, "This official is guilty."

In truth, the young man hadn't given such an order at all. Everything had been done by him, and now that the three thousand guards were gone without a return, he knew that he was done for.

"Bastard! Men! Drag him out and kill him!"

The man was as furious as thunder. A peerless aura spread out, causing the guards in the great hall to sweat profusely. They were also trembling because this was the first time they had seen the emperor's fury.

The Imperial Advisor was dragged off the stage. No one dared to speak a word, and no one dared to disobey.

The death of three thousand imperial guards was a small matter, but what truly enraged him was that once this matter spread, there was a high chance that the palace would completely break away from the Red Star Academy.

Seeing the Imperial Advisor being led away, the man's face grew pale as he began to breathe heavily. Taking a few steps back, he finally sat down on the golden dragon throne.

After a long while, he finally calmed down and said tiredly, "Kong Ming."

A young man walked out of the guards and replied, "This general is here."

The dragon-robed man looked at him. "From today onwards, you will be in charge of the imperial guards. However, there is one matter which you must immediately attend to."

The young guard nodded: "I will obey." He did not ask about anything, because he knew what it was.

The three thousand imperial guards had already taken action, this represented the royal family's stance. However, this rainy night was not over yet. Perhaps, he could conceal himself and settle the matter of the battlefield to a minimum.

Kong Ming hurriedly left the main hall with his orders.

The great hall once again became silent. The atmosphere was a bit strange, a bit oppressive, and all the guards were silent. Even their breathing had become very weak.

A few hours later, Kong Ming returned, soaked from head to toe, to the Dragon Throne in front of him and nodded his head.

Seeing this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The three thousand imperial guards had already taken action, this was a fact, Red Star Academy would definitely be aware of it, adding on the events of the night, the two sides breaking up was already an irreconcilable matter.

But what if this didn't spread? This was a completely different story. If it wasn't made public, then it meant that they wouldn't break on the surface.

This way, the relationship between the two sides could be postponed for a while.

"All of you can leave now!"

On the dragon throne, he waved his hand and said tiredly. After all the guards had left, the man sighed deeply.

Everyone knew that Red Star Academy was a different kind of existence. Their origins were shocking and were hard to predict, and in the past, they didn't even put the two great holy lands in their eyes and dared to openly challenge them.

But who would have known, if he didn't have Red Star Academy, how would he have Shang Kingdom?

Of course, that was all history. The current decline in Red Star Academy was also a iron-clad fact that could not be wiped away.

As a result, when Wu Qing came looking for him, he half-agreed to it. From a certain angle, between the Red Star and Mount Yuheng, he chose the latter.

Because of this, after this night, the old man's heart became completely cold.

Within the Red Star Academy.

The old man walked towards Li Yi's courtyard in a hurry. Looking at the quiet and secluded courtyard in front of him, his eyes swayed a little, because he remembered that he hadn't been here in three years.

As for the river behind the cliff, it was just a fairy tale he had compiled. How could there be a river that extended for more than 3000 miles?

It did not even exist!

The young man foolishly believed those laughable words.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. As he stepped into the courtyard, he could also feel the presence of life in the room. One was very strong, while the other was very weak.

Creak!

The dean pushed open the door and swept his eyes across the room. His gaze landed on Li Yi who was lying on the wooden bed and he asked softly, "How is it?"

Qin Meng did not turn back as his eyes continued to stare at Li Yi.

The dean did not speak. He quickly walked over and pressed one hand on Li Yi's chest to check his body.

Qin Meng took a deep breath and said again, "He has become a demon again, and the last time was even more frightening."

The Headmaster frowned, "Sky Region City's two hundred thousand strong army, more than a dozen Tutor Realms, such a powerful lineup of Kingdom Supervisor Temple, he has come all this way that night. Is the situation big tonight?"

Qin Meng said in a deep voice, "Thousands of guards have arrived, all of them are at the peak of our sect, and every single one of them have Spiritual Weapon, he simply cannot hold on, if not for his demonic transformation at the last moment, he would have already met with calamity."

Hearing this, the old man's expression changed, and he suddenly became unsightly.

Guards, Peak Meridians, Spiritual Weapon … He had not imagined that the person in the Imperial Palace would issue such an order. As he thought this, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened, revealing a faint hint of sadness.

But soon, he calmed down again. Perhaps this was his best choice, he thought.

Qin Meng continued to speak, "The Qi Sea has dried up, and all of the vein lines have quieted down. The secret technique and meridians are also dim and lifeless, the world in my mind is a mess, my heart is beating very weakly, and the only thing that is filled with life force is this strange imprint." As he spoke, he pulled Li Yi's left hand out, opened his sleeve, and instantly, a strange black imprint appeared.

The old man fell into deep thought.

Qin Meng continued: "And that broken gigantic sword."

At that time, Li Yi had already fainted and his mind was completely still. He carried Li Yi's figure and was about to try and carry that black greatsword on his back, but he didn't expect that the sword would actually automatically fly up and follow behind them.

This scene was very strange to him.

If the black greatsword was a Spiritual Weapon, it would automatically enter Li Yi's body. However, it did not choose to follow him.

It was also because of this that they remembered Li Yi, who was in the middle of the plaza. Now that they heard Qin Meng's description, they seemed to have gained some sort of enlightenment in his heart.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, Qin Meng sensed something and quickly pushed open the door and rushed out.

However, other than the dense night and rain, as well as the small, wet forest, there was no one else around the courtyard.

But when Qin Meng returned to his room, his entire body became stiff, and the sword in his body almost left its sheath.
