Chapter 522: Evil Clan Meeting, Matters of the Northern Heavens

Outer Realm Evil Clan, Vanguard Camp.

Though called a camp, it is actually a super-sized city. Standing on the city walls and looking into the distance, one can even faintly see the mountain range formed by the seven ice spears Xiao Han threw when he annihilated the Man Mo Clan army back then.

The reason the Outer Realm Evil Clan chose this place to build a city is also clear: to use that past failure to whip the entire clan toward progress, hoping that one day they can exterminate the force named Langya Heavenly Palace, behead its Palace Master Xiao Han, and bring his head back to the Evil Clan to boost military morale.

To this end, while the situation is currently constrained, the Outer Realm Evil Clan continuously maintains a glorious lineup of three Mysterious Demon Emperors and ten Ghost Demon Emperors in this vanguard camp, launching attacks on Langya Heavenly Palace at intervals, attempting to use their numerical advantage to exhaust Langya Heavenly Palace to death.

The dream is beautiful, but reality is harsh!

If it were an ordinary force, the Outer Realm Evil Clan's methods would indeed be highly effective, forcing them to run themselves ragged under such incessant offensives until their foundations were exhausted.

But Langya Heavenly Palace is different. As a gathering place for Spirit Array Masters, it is not just a sect base; through the tireless efforts of countless Spirit Array Masters in the entire Langya Heavenly Palace over decades, the entire Huan Continent has long been filled to the brim with various Spirit Arrays.

Trapping Arrays, Illusion Arrays, Killing Arrays, Defense Arrays, Identification Arrays, and Mixed Spirit Arrays formed by combining these basic Spirit Arrays make this seemingly quiet and peaceful super-continent a place of danger at every step, becoming a burial ground for wave after wave of the Evil Clan army.

The endless and impossible-to-guard-against Spirit Arrays have caused the experts of the Outer Realm Evil Clan to suffer greatly. Even when the Evil Clan Demon Emperors personally lead the way, after breaking through layers of obstacles and reaching the gates of Langya Heavenly Palace, a quarter of the Evil Clan army still ends up buried in a foreign land without even seeing the enemy, while the rest are often heavily exhausted and leave in disgrace after crashing head-on into the Sect Protecting Array of Langya Heavenly Palace.

"Boom!"

An Evil Clan Demon Emperor slammed his palm heavily onto the table beside him, his eyes bulging red. The thunderous voice made the attendees frown involuntarily, subconsciously leaning their ears further away.

"Where are the reinforcements sent by Lord Saint Demon? This seat truly cannot endure it any longer!"

His thick, hideous finger pointed in the direction of Langya Heavenly Palace.

"Letting that person and that force remain in this world is simply our shame! Shame!"

Failure after failure had almost caused him to lose his patience; no one would be in a good mood if they were blasted out before even entering the door.

"Enough, Yan Mo, save your energy."

The one who spoke was a thin, frail-looking Demon Emperor. At this moment, he looked full of impatience, as if tired of the other's posturing, and picked his ear with disdain.

"You should be clear that with our current manpower, even if we reach the gates of Langya Heavenly Palace, we cannot break through their Sect Protecting Array. The only way is to wait for the support of Lord Saint Demon."

For the Outer Realm Evil Clan experts present, the truth was heartbreaking and helpless!

In terms of strength and the number of experts, the Outer Realm Evil Clan far surpasses Langya Heavenly Palace, but since the opponent's level is high, they have to make up for it with "pay-to-win" tactics!

Today's Huan Continent is simply a super-sized minefield; it is no exaggeration to call it dangerous at every step. Once an outsider steps in, they will immediately suffer a heavy blow.

Ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that many of the Spirit Arrays within were personally laid and manipulated by that Langya Palace Master, making this group of Demon Emperors terrified.

The argument between the two Mysterious Demon Emperors left the Ghost Demon Emperors present to watch silently—how could they have a say when the big shots were talking? At this moment, a lazy voice sounded.

"The two of you, calm your fire. Didn't Lord Saint Demon say that support will arrive soon? When that time comes, Langya Heavenly Palace can be broken in a single day."

"Why damage everyone's harmony for a dying person?"

"Why don't you all guess which clan will be sent as reinforcements?"

The owner of the voice had a pair of bewitching purple pupils, his voice soft yet revealing an indifference that treated life like grass. The slightly curled corners of his mouth gave him a touch of evil charm.

The second largest clan of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, the confidant of the Heavenly Demon Clan leader, the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor—the Purple-Eyed Mysterious Demon Emperor!

With the addition of status and strength, the Purple-Eyed Mysterious Demon Emperor clearly held the top position among those present. After he spoke, the first two Demon Emperors who had been heard fell silent, curious about the identity of the reinforcements.

"Heh~"

Seeing that everyone was so receptive, the Purple-Eyed Mysterious Demon Emperor was quite satisfied, and his gentle voice continued to reach everyone's ears.

"The Spirit Arrays of Langya Heavenly Palace are indeed troublesome, and forcing our way in would result in heavy casualties. So, this time, let's simply not force our way in, how about that?"

"It just so happens that my Evil Clan has recently added a new clan, and their abilities are a timely rain!"

"A timely rain?"

"..."

However, just as everyone was interested and prepared to continue asking, the Purple-Eyed Mysterious Demon Emperor smiled mysteriously and changed the subject, saying no more, leaving the Evil Clan Demon Emperors feeling as uncomfortable as if a kitten were scratching their hearts.

Northern Heavens Realm, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy assessment in progress.

The group of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy Elders in the Guardian Hall stared dumbfounded at the pink figure in their sight, and only after a long time did they let out a bitter laugh.

"This little ancestor is making quite a big commotion!"

The high-level officials of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had long ago received news from the academy's guardian divine beast, Beiming Longkun, that a young girl from Langya Heavenly Palace had come to participate in the assessment.

As a long-term partner of Langya Heavenly Palace, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has a good relationship with Langya Heavenly Palace. The quota for disciples of the Da Qian super-force has attracted a large number of geniuses to enroll for the former, and the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has also developed and grown because of this.

Now, a disciple of Langya Heavenly Palace is actually willing to enter the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to study, which makes the high-level officials of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy feel gratified while also feeling a bit expectant, waiting to see what kind of surprise this Langya Heavenly Palace disciple can bring them.

The current scene is more or less the same.

The disciple of Langya Heavenly Palace indeed brought them the shock of a super-force genius, although this shock had a tiny difference from their psychological expectations.

Subsequently, meaningful gazes fell on a certain expressionless figure who was detached from the crowd. This person was also a deacon of Langya Heavenly Palace stationed at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Today, they were completely here to watch the fun of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy entrance assessment, never expecting to eat the melon of their own people.

The deacon finally realized the deep meaning of the Palace Master's personal message not long ago, and sighed inwardly.

"So the girl the Palace Master mentioned is this capable of causing trouble?"

At this moment...

"Should we report this to the Dean?"

As the words fell, the whole place was silent. The many Elders looked at each other, all seeing the playfulness and the desire to watch the show in each other's eyes.

"This is letting our future students realize the dangers of the world in advance."

"Exactly, exactly. That little girl didn't do anything against the rules; it was just a reasonable use of the rules."

"..."

A series of reasons were quickly given by the many Elders, and the atmosphere on the field was once very lively.

Amidst the commotion, the Chief Elder Zhutian felt filled with admiration for the Dean Taicang and Beiming Longkun.

"So that's how it is. As expected, the Dean and Lord Beiming are far-sighted!"

As the Chief Elder, Zhutian is familiar with most of the affairs of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, including the current predicament of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Admittedly, due to the disciple selection qualifications of Langya Heavenly Palace, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has attracted a large number of young geniuses to apply, which has indeed greatly improved the quality of the academy's students.

But on the other hand, many students also have misunderstandings about themselves, thinking that they can sit back and relax after entering the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, neglecting their cultivation, and looking down on others while being incompetent themselves.

In recent years, the number of students recruited by Langya Heavenly Palace from Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has been gradually decreasing; this is not because the former's standards have risen, but because the quality of students at Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has been gradually declining, lacking geniuses who make one's eyes light up.

Now, the appearance of this Disciple from Langya Heavenly Palace might perhaps become a shot in the arm for Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, urging this group of lazy students to strive for improvement.

Zhutian recalled the smile of absolute certainty that Dean Taicang wore when speaking with him at the time, and the respect in his heart surged like the tide.

At this moment, on a certain mountain peak of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Dean Taicang and Beiming Longkun looked at each other in silence.

"The days for those little brats are not going to be easy now."

Beiming Longkun said with a chuckle.
