Return to the Northwest Continent

The Heavenly Court launched a surprise attack on the Hall of Souls.

The news sent shockwaves through Central Plains.

The Earth Hall and the Human Hall were destroyed, along with seven or Seven to Eight Soul Hall Branches.

Many powerful figures in the Hall of Souls Branch were killed. Half of the experts in the Hall of Souls died instantly. Don't be fooled by Xiao Ming's ability to kill some Dou Zun, Half-Saint, and Low-Tier Dou Sheng without hesitation.

These powerful individuals are the foundation of the Hall of Souls's power to intimidate all sides. Without them, the Hall of Souls's deterrent power has decreased by more than half, and it is gradually becoming a target of universal condemnation.

In fact, the Hall of Souls has long been hated by everyone, and its increasingly rampant actions in the past two years have made people hate it even more. However, due to the Hall of Souls's great strength, many people dare not speak out.

Now that the Heavenly Court has taken the initiative, it is truly gratifying.

Of course, while people were happy about this, many also turned their attention to the Hall of Souls, wondering if it would launch a more shrewd counterattack.

Surprisingly, in the following period, the Hall of Souls completely tightened its defenses.

The losses are too great; we have no choice but to shrink back. We can only wait for aid from within our clan before the Hall of Souls can expand again.

It can be said that the Heavenly Court really dealt a heavy blow to the Hall of Souls this time.

Northwest Continent, Crimson Sand Plains.

On the endless Crimson Wall Plains, gusts of sandstorm raged, and the blood-red sunset hung low in the sky, its pale red light draping the land in a veil of crimson, faintly tinged with a blood-red hue.

"Laugh!"

On the Crimson Wall Plains, there is hardly any human habitation; the only sound is the incessant whistling of the wind.

At a certain moment, the void space suddenly Spatial Fluctuation violently, and then a massive Spatial Black Hole, tens of meters in size, slowly emerged.

As soon as the Spatial Black Hole appeared, ripples spread out within it. Then, two figures stepped out from within, slowly walking through the void, and finally landed gently on this plain.

Zi Yan looked around at her surroundings, blinked, and asked.

"Xiao Ming, this shouldn't be Jia Nan Academy, right?"

"Ahem, well, there's a slight difference in location because we didn't directly open a spatial passage, so there's nothing we can do about it." Xiao Ming glanced around, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The reason Xiao Ming and Zi Yan are here is because Xiao Ming received some information in the Simulator, and he has been away from the Northwest for several years.

Therefore, Xiao Ming temporarily put aside his work and returned to the Northwest Continent.

What frustrated Xiao Ming was that although the Heavenly Court had established a branch in the Northwest Continent, because they were at the forefront of the struggle, they did not establish Spatial Wormhole with the Black Corner Region, where Jia Nan Academy was located, or the Jia Ma Empire, which was in a relatively remote location.

Therefore, Xiao Ming had no choice but to carry Zi Yan across the void on his own.

Because of the distance, there was bound to be some deviation, which led to what just happened.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming is now Dou Sheng, so the distance caused by this slight error is negligible.

After confirming their direction again, Xiao Ming opened up a space and entered with Zi Yan. When they reappeared, they were on the boundless Black Plains.

We've arrived at the Black Corner Great Plains!

Jia Nan Academy Development Momentum well in recent years.

One reason is that a few years ago, Jia Nan Academy wiped out several sects in the Black Corner Region. Even the Earth Flame Sect, which possessed Seven-Star Dou Zong, was wiped out due to a certain event. This made the Black Corner Region remember the days when it was dominated by the Jia Nan Academy.

Secondly, Jia Nan Academy has produced geniuses like Xiao Ming, so various families are more willing to send their own geniuses there for training.

Previously, although Jia Nan Academy was renowned, for various reasons, most families with some strength were unwilling to send their own geniuses to the Jia Nan Academy. Now that this situation has changed, Jia Nan Academy has a significant increase in talented students.

Thirdly, the head of the Alchemy Department at the Jia Nan Academy is Grade Six Alchemist, which has attracted many alchemy practitioners to join the program and has also boosted the quality of the teaching staff. This has allowed Jia Nan Academy to live up to the expectations of those families.

With these three factors combined, Jia Nan Academy is naturally developing better and better.

Today is another joyous day for the Jia Nan Academy, with new students entering the academy and returning students being promoted to the Inner Academy. To celebrate this occasion, the academy held a ceremony, and the entire academy was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The ceremony square was packed with people, and a torrent of voices converged, soaring into the sky.

In the center of the square, there were several sizable arenas. At this moment, Dou Qi burst forth on the arenas, figures crisscrossed, and the exchanges were exceptionally fierce and intense. Occasionally, the victor would stand proudly, attracting the attention of many beautiful young women who would glance at him with admiring eyes.

The entire college is filled with the unique energy of youth for this reason.

In the center of the several arenas stood two huge Stone Statue sculptures, one of which was old and the other was young and handsome. Judging from their age, they seemed to be about the same age as the students. This situation aroused some doubts among the newcomers who had just entered the academy.

"Senior, those two statues, one is the legendary Dean, and who's the other one? He's so handsome!"

Several energetic young girls surrounded a tall woman, asking curiously.

"Hmph, you've come to the right person. You should have heard of that person. He's the most outstanding student to emerge from the Jia Nan Academy since its founding, and also the youngest elder in the academy."

"When you came in, you must have seen the Undead Tree in Peace Town, right? The two corpses of Dou Emperor on it were his handiwork. And at that time, he was even younger than you."

The tall woman glanced at the enormous statue with a strange look in her beautiful eyes and smiled.

"Wow, could this be Xiao Ming? I've heard of him before, but I didn't expect him to be so amazing!" a girl exclaimed in surprise.

"The person left Jia Nan Academy several years ago, and this statue was only recently erected. I heard from an elder last time that he went to Central Plains, a legendary place teeming with powerful individuals. So, you shouldn't even dream about it..."

"It's your idea, senior, isn't it?"

"You're asking for it..."

"..."

On the high platform, Su Qian looked at the lively scene in the square, a small smile appearing on his aged face. Then he raised his head, looked at the two statues in the square, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's been five or six years since Xiao Ming left. I wonder if he's run into the Dean Xiao Ming. I've sent Dean so many messages, I wonder if the dean even saw them. But Xiao Ming is doing so well now, he doesn't need the Dean's help anymore.

Thinking of the information revealed by the old man who came to the academy two months ago, Su Qian couldn't help but smile.

"The Heavenly Court Alliance Leader! He's truly remarkable!"

Jia Nan Academy has also admitted many exceptionally talented individuals, but compared to this other school, they all pale in comparison.

"Old Man Su, why aren't you staying in the Inner Academy today? What are you doing out here?"

A voice came from behind, and Su Qian knew without turning around that it was Vice Dean Hu Gan.

The tables and chairs around them rustled as Hu Gan, Elder Huo, and the others took their seats.

"Hehe, it's quite boring staying in the Inner Academy, so I came out to see you all."
