"This matter must be kept strictly confidential, and no one should know about it, not even the elders!"

Xuan Qingzi said very seriously, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the royal family has coveted Qingtian Academy for a long time, and in the academy, it is likely that their eyes are also planted, if the news of the academy master's broken dantian comes out, the royal family may immediately take action.

"What does the Great Elder plan to do with it?" asked Murong Yanyun.

Xuan Qingzi got up and walked outside, and said, "It's business as usual, I'll go and inform the two guardians in the temple about this first, and see what they have to say." ”

After that, it quickly disappeared from the eyes of several people.

"I'm in trouble?" Luo Sheng touched his chin, and Xuan Qingzi's attitude made him a little embarrassed. However, this is also understandable, after all, except for him, no one else has experienced this way of breaking through the realm, even Murong Yanyun has only heard of it.

Murong Yanyun shook his head: "Don't think about it too much, Elder, he is also thinking about the safety of the academy master and the academy, and he has no other meaning." ”

"I understand this, but according to what the academy master said, the old lady of the royal family will inevitably achieve the realm of human dignity one step ahead of him, and at that time, the crisis faced by the academy will be even more difficult to deal with, and there is no other better way to give up this ruined method. ”

"yes. Murong Yanyun sighed lightly, if it weren't for Luo Sheng's coincidence of meeting the old courtyard master, he would not have imagined that the Qingtian Academy, which had stood in the Nanshan Empire for thousands of years, was already in real precarious, and as long as the imperial emperor broke through, he would directly face the grim situation of being overwhelmed by the army.

However, after such a scene, it finally temporarily frightened the royal family so that they did not dare to act rashly, and in the following days, even the Ji family never sent anyone over to make trouble, and the grievances between Luo Sheng and Ji Sheng seemed to have come to an end.

In the blink of an eye, it's the middle of the next month.

On this day, the whole country celebrates, the whole city is boiling, especially in the Tianlin capital, every household is full of lights, and the streets are crowded with people, and it is very lively. Because this day is the 100th birthday of the current king of the Nanshan Empire, he ordered an amnesty to the world, and on the street, he can receive precious cultivation resources for free.

Ordinary people have already come to the end of their lives when they live to be one hundred years old, but for a powerful quasi-human venerable monk such as the king of the Nanshan Empire, one hundred years old is still in the ascending stage of life, extremely young, which is equivalent to the age of twenty years old for ordinary people.

As the king of a country, the 100th birthday is naturally extremely grand, in addition to the Tianlin Capital, several big families in the other twelve high-level cities in the empire have also received invitations to enter the palace to participate in the birthday banquet, as the highest institution of learning in the Nanshan Empire, Qingtian Academy, of course, will inevitably send representatives.

The inner courtyard of Qingtian College, the House of Elders.

"Since the Holy Lord wants to let the courtyard master go to the appointment, I think the great elder has no choice but to invite the courtyard master out, although the courtyard master is in retreat, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I believe that his old man will also understand your approach. ”

Below, Elder Guiyun, who had a gloomy face, glanced at Xuan Qingzi, who was sitting at the head of the elders, and said lightly.

"You said it lightly, when the dean decided to retreat two years ago, this time is different, if it weren't for the existential crisis coming, no matter what happens, you can't bother him, what about the emperor's birthday?

As soon as Elder Guiyun's words fell, Murong Yanyun's angry voice rang out, and his words were full of contempt, leaving no face for the former at all.

"Murong boy, don't think that the old man is afraid of you, last time you just relied on a sneak attack to get a little upper hand, if you dare to speak disrespectfully like this again, don't blame me for being polite!"

Elder Guiyun's expression was gloomy, and he glared at Murong Yanyun, who had always sneered at him at the elders' meetings these days, and even made some personal attacks, which had already made him extremely angry in his heart.

"I'm just talking about the facts, and as for whether my words are reasonable or not, the elders will give an accurate judgment. Murong Yanyun said lightly.

"You're ......!" Elder Guiyun glared angrily.

Xuan Qingzi waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel with both of you." ”

"There are less than two hours before the birthday banquet begins, presumably at this time, the major family forces of the Nanshan Empire have almost arrived, Qingtian Academy, as the highest institution of the empire, can't lose the number of courtesies, so, go, it is definitely going to go, and when you go, you have to bring a generous gift to show our attention to this matter." ”

Xuan Qingzi said this, his words paused, and then said: "Of course, the dean will not go in person, I went to see him some time ago, his old man's cultivation is flourishing, and his cultivation has reached a critical moment, it is impossible to leave the customs in advance because of the emperor's birthday, this point, I believe the royal family will also understand." ”

"It turns out that the Great Elder went to see the courtyard master a few days ago, since this is the case, then there is nothing to dispute about this matter, the courtyard master can't get out, so I will go to the palace for a banquet instead of the courtyard master. ”

An elder below spoke, and suddenly a voice echoed in response.

Xuan Qingzi nodded slightly, and said: "That's how it should be, but since it's an academy, the most important thing is, of course, the new force that has been cultivated, I think that in addition to our elders, those little guys in the top ten on the heavenly list can also bring them to the meeting, first, it can show that we attach importance to the emperor's birthday, and second, let those little guys increase their knowledge." ”

Xuan Qingzi's proposal naturally won the approval of many elders, but Murong Yanyun was slightly stunned, he was the person who knew best what kind of antagonistic relationship the royal family and Qingtian Academy was now, the former brought the best batch of students at this time, wasn't he afraid of them secretly poisoning him?

After thinking for a while, he understood the stakes and couldn't help but smile.

At present, although the royal family and Qingtian Academy are secretly opposed, they have not made things clear after all, otherwise they would not have been invited to this birthday banquet. Xuan Qingzi decided to do this, probably in order to show the royal family that the academy has a lot of confidence, and he is not afraid of their rash actions at all.

The time was pointing to noon, and in addition to Xuan Qingzi, Murong Yanyun, and Elder Guiyun, there were also ten other elders who had reached the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, all of whom were also dispatched together, leaving only a few powerful elders sitting in the academy.

Coupled with the ten students in the top ten of the heavenly list, a total of more than 20 people, they all stepped into the air and came directly to the front of the palace by flying.
