Imperial Capital of the Land of Fire.
The full spread of Deep Forest Emergence had forced everyone to join the battle, and the war had completely entered its most intense stage. At that moment, the elders and disciples of the Five Great Academies descended from the sky through the Tenseigan Passage, leaving many people stunned and unable to tell whose side they were on. Only when they attacked the people of the Land of Fire did everyone realize that the Five Great Academies had fully sided with the [Akatsuki] organization.
"Damn it! Why have the Five Great Academies joined this battle? Weren't they supposed to be living in seclusion?"
"The Five Great Academies actually formed an alliance with [Akatsuki]? When did that happen?!"
"If we'd known it would end like this, we never should have come to the Imperial Capital of the Land of Fire!"
The Five Great Academies' powerful entry into the battle began to put the Land of Fire's cultivators at a disadvantage. Though they had enough people, none of them were as strong as the elites of the Ninja Sect and the Five Great Academies. If not for several Void Refinement cultivators holding the line, they would likely have suffered a complete rout long ago.
At this moment, Kong Chen, Southern Dipper, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and the others had all joined the battle. Their main task was not to deal with ordinary cultivators, but with the elites gathered by the Land of Fire—the people who posed an enormous threat to the Ninja Sect's disciples.
Most of them fought several opponents alone without falling behind, fully demonstrating just how powerful the divine envoys of [Akatsuki] were.
After using the Tenseigan to teleport the people from the Five Great Academies in, Mu Yuyi began cultivating to recover.
