A King Descends from the Heavens

"May I ask what important business has brought Sect Master Huyan here?"

Shui Wuyue looked at the imposing group from the Elephant Armor Sect before her and took half a step forward. Her manner was respectful, yet neither servile nor weak.

Anxiety quietly gnawed at her heart. The letter asking for aid had only been sent out a few days ago. She had thought she could delay them much longer, but she had never expected them to come so soon.

With reinforcements yet to arrive, the only thing she could do was stall for time and protect Skywater Academy.

What weighed on her even more heavily was that, in the past, the Elephant Armor Sect had at most sent a Soul Sage elder to provoke them. This time, Sect Master Huyan Zhen had come in person.

She was only a Soul Sage herself. Before the master of a great sect, the gap in their strength was utterly insurmountable, as vast as heaven and earth.

"Haha, President Shui, there is no need to be so restrained." Huyan Zhen laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping across the female disciples gathered at Skywater Academy's entrance. Satisfaction flickered in his eyes. "Once Skywater Academy joins the Elephant Armor Academy, we'll be one family. Why be so distant?"

Elephant Armor Academy had always styled itself as the fifth great elemental academy, yet it had never been recognized by the soul master world.

Some time ago, Skywater Academy's former president had died unexpectedly, and Huyan Zhen had caught the scent of a perfect opportunity.

As long as they successfully swallowed Skywater Academy and leaned on the mighty Spirit Hall, Elephant Armor Academy could naturally join the ranks of the Four Element Academies.

Moreover, Skywater Academy itself held a different significance for the Elephant Armor Sect.
