C187 Xu Yang's Deployment
"Sir …"
Xu Yang chuckled, "No need to say anymore, I understand what you are thinking."
"There's only one way to solve the problem completely, and that is to borrow the academy's power."
Yuan Haotian nearly spat out blood when he heard that.
He thought to himself, Isn't the academy pretty much demolished by your brothers? Where was the power?
"If the current Yuanyang Empire wants to stabilize the situation, then I must first find a way to manifest my true strength and foundation. With regards to the strength of the cultivators, after all these times, a lot of the top experts in your Elder Hall have already been lost. It could be said that they had suffered a great loss and needed to rest up for a short period of time.
As for the army, once they launched an army against other forces, they would be unable to reap the benefits due to having too many connections. The gains were not worth the losses.
Therefore, using the academy to manifest the true strength of the Yuanyang Empire was the only way. Where is the academy? That is the Empire's future talent base, if we can use the reputation of the Saint Soul Academy to stand out in the competition of the top ten martial academies of the 3000 Dao Prefectures, then the external powers will not dare to think about Yuanyang Empire anymore! "
After listening to Xu Yang's explanation, Yuan Haotian suddenly felt enlightened. At the very least, in terms of vision and cultivation level, he was inferior to Xu Yang.
"With your cultivation level, you really aren't simple!"
Xu Yang waved his hand with a smile. "This is not a difficult situation at all, you are just a mystery to the onlookers, the disappearance of the dragon's vein has knocked your mind unconscious, plus some unclean claws and teeth around you have disturbed your judgement. As long as you can stabilize the internal situation, there will be no big problems for the people in the Yuanyang Empire."
It had to be said that Xu Yang's analysis gave Yuan Haotian a peace of mind.
"Sir, in half a month's time, the Triennial Competition of the three thousand Dao Prefectures will begin. The ten great academies will send the most elite teams under their tutelage to participate in the competition, and the gathering will be hosted by the permanent neutral forces of the three thousand Dao Prefectures' Central Domain. It is also a great opportunity for the Empire to manifest their foundations in national power.
"No need."
Wu Tie smiled as he glanced at Yuan Haotian, "Your subordinates are useless and left behind a few trusted subordinates to protect the Imperial Palace. Whether it's the Academy's quota or your personal guards, I will personally arrange everything for you. I guarantee that you will fill up the ranks of the Yuanyang Empire and give all the other forces in the 3000 Dao Region a pleasant surprise."
"This …"
At first, Yuan Haotian was a little perturbed, worried that Xu Yang had exaggerated his words. However, when he looked at Xu Yang's pair of bright and lively eyes, the restlessness and worry in his heart instantly vanished.
"Do you think there's anyone in the imperial court who looks like a traitor? If so, gather them and bring another five hundred personal guards along. I expect these worms that are hiding in the palace to attack you during their journey to the Thousand Cloud Sect. When that happens, my men will appear in time to take care of these people.
Without saying anything further, Yuan Haotian immediately made a gesture of worship towards Xu Yang.
One had to know that Yuan Haotian was the emperor of the empire, but in front of Xu Yang, he was like a wild weed in a storm. If he lost Xu Yang's protection, the title of the King of the Kingdom of Annihilation would fall on his shoulders.
A few days after the plan was made, Yuan Haotian returned to his original posture and dealt with the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. Soon, everything seemed to be as if nothing had happened.
As for Xu Yang's group, they were also busy cultivating until ten days later. Then, they officially accepted the invitation from the Thousand Cloud Sect Envoys to participate in this year's Academy Martial Arts Competition.
Little did he know that from the beginning to the end, Yuan Haotian did not greet any of the academy's leadership team, leaving everything to Great Leader Xu Yang to handle all of it.
"Boss, are we really going to help Yuanyang Empire s participate? To be honest, what does what they're going through have to do with us? "
Loong Kun couldn't help but ask. Although this guy used to be a part of the Academy and could be considered to be a member of Yuanyang Empire, after the mysterious old lady from the Phoenix Clan from the library left, he was completely tied up with Xu Yang's team. He no longer considered himself as a member of the Academy, and did not have the interest to participate in Yuanyang Empire matters.
"Firstly, since we have obtained the Dragon Treasure, it has indeed brought some effect to the Yuanyang Empire, so it is understandable that we have to do something for them. Secondly, I want to use this opportunity to touch the elites of the entire 3000 Dao Province and see if I can find any clues regarding the other Dragon Treasure. There is no better opportunity than this platform. "
Bai Lianxue also nodded in agreement.
"That's right. The ten great academies can almost include the best cultivators of the younger generation of the three thousand Dao Prefectures. The five empires in the Dao Prefecture all value them greatly. If they can become the champion, the benefits are obvious."
Ling Qingshu shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "Since we have nothing better to do, we might as well take a walk. If there are any other discoveries regarding Dragon Treasure s, we'll earn big!"
Three days later, Xu Yang's group, along with Yuan Haotian's Dragon Guardian Legion's thousand man team, set off for Thousand Cloud Sect that was thousands of miles away.
In fact, in terms of geographical location, Yuanyang Empire was the furthest away from Thousand Cloud Sect among the five empires. But no matter what, this trip, Yuan Haotian had to go.2
Within the three thousand Dao Prefecture's top ten academies, there were five empires in the Dao Prefecture standing behind the Five Great Academies. The other five factions were controlled by several sects that had existed for over ten thousand years in the Dao Prefecture.
Therefore, the intensity of this battle could not be compared to the one between the two who seemed to be laughing from within the Holy Soul Academy.
As long as Xu Yang and the others wanted to, not to mention winning the championship, it was possible for them to destroy the entire team that came with these big empires.
This time, they were acting on behalf of the Yuanyang Empire to launch their powerful attacks, releasing their incomparably strong auras to intimidate the other empires.
"Sir!" You... Is it really ready? "
Inside the Dragon Carriage, Xu Yang was invited by Yuan Haotian to sit beside him. Looking at his appearance, he felt a little apprehensive.
In fact, other than Xu Yang, there were only a few people on Yuan Haotian's side who were trustworthy and useful. Even the useless food in the court was of no use in the face of difficulties of this level.
"Hehe, don't worry. With my team here, no matter what tricks those people use, as long as they dare to come here, no one can leave alive!"
Yuan Haotian nodded seriously and drank the wine on the table in one gulp.
Sssii …
The angry horse's long hissing suddenly sounded from the front and the troop immediately stopped moving forward.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!"
