"So that was it!"
Fang Chen nodded slightly.
Just then, a powerful surge of energy came from the void. A huge Space Vortex appeared, and Elder Bai Ling flew out of it. She looked different from when Fang Chen had last seen her: the white Gauze Dress she had worn was now a golden Battle Robe. Many others followed her out, clad in Battle Robes of various colors.
As soon as they emerged, they formed five square formations behind Elder Bai Ling according to the colors of their Battle Robes. Their ranks were so perfectly aligned that they made an imposing sight.
The five formations were gold, azure, blue, yellow, and red.
They represented the Five Elements. They were Tianyuan Academy's Five-Colored Legion.
Fang Chen swept his gaze over them and found that every soldier had Saint Realm Cultivation. There were five thousand of them, with a Quasi-Emperor at the front of each thousand-strong formation.
Including Elder Bai Ling, Tianyuan Academy had sent six Quasi-Emperors and five thousand Saint Realm experts.
The sight stunned not only Fang Chen but everyone from the other Human Race factions. None of them had imagined Tianyuan Academy was so powerful.
Yet since its founding, Tianyuan Academy had never involved itself in disputes between the Human Race's major factions. Everyone had assumed it had no formidable fighting force of its own. Now, the sight of this fully organized legion of Saints left them utterly shaken.
This was Tianyuan Academy's true strength. It possessed not only a complete Cultivation legacy and all kinds of rare resources, but also a fighting force this powerful.
It was not that Tianyuan Academy wanted to stay out of the disputes among the Barbaric Continent's major factions. As everyone now saw it, Tianyuan Academy simply considered those disputes beneath its notice.
