Fang Yun's face was expressionless as he said, "Right now, I can either help the Dragon-Slaying Saber Fragment or help the Ancestral Emperor's Head. There is no way to have the best of both worlds."
"You mean that whichever side you choose to help, the other will inevitably attack you?"
"Yes. The Crystal Blood Skull can help the Ancestral Emperor's Head defeat the Dragon-Slaying Saber Fragment, while protecting whoever activates it."
"But you have it."
"I cannot activate it."
"Alas..."
The Grand Academicians sighed in unison. At a time like this, every one of them felt powerless.
Several Grand Academicians were also deeply ashamed.
Wei Huangan said, "We Grand Academicians truly are useless. In the Crime Hall, Void Sage Fang saved us and led us out. When the Ancient Demon Kings surrounded us, we only won because Void Sage Fang intervened. Now, if we want to leave this place, we can only rely on Void Sage Fang alone. We do not even have the ability to lend a hand."
"Alas..."
Everyone sighed repeatedly.
Meng Jingye said, "Everyone, stop sighing and lamenting. Retreat at once so we do not interfere with Void Sage Fang."
"Let's go!"
The fourteen Grand Academicians slowly departed, looking back three times with every step.
Fang Yun seemed unaware of their departure. He stood where he was, gazing at the Dragon-Slaying Saber Fragment and the Ancestral Emperor's Head.
The Dragon-Slaying Saber Fragment radiated golden light, releasing ribbon after ribbon of light to attack the mist surrounding the Ancestral Emperor's Head. Those ribbons looked unremarkable, but only a handful of people could see that they could pierce straight through space and attack in bizarre ways.
As Fang Yun watched the two supreme treasures battle, he recalled the inheritance of the Fu Yue Clan.
