Chapter 431: Ochre Ambition (I)
Qu Chuan's words made the four of them fall silent, their brows tightly locked, not knowing what they were thinking.
In fact, the identities of the four of them are quite special, which is also the reason why the Ochre Academy chose them to become disciples of the inner court, and the forces behind these children are all involved in the ups and downs of various countries.
Needless to say, Su Junlai is the little prince of the Huangtu Empire, and he is also the most talented and favored, he came here to be personally escorted by the royal family of Huangtu, and directly reached an agreement with the academy.
The most powerful Blue Yue Empire is the royal family on the surface, but everyone knows that the Si family is the dragon behind it. The young master of the Si family, Si Li's influence is even higher than that of Su Junlai. Si Li took the initiative to come, and the academy was naturally pleasantly surprised when he found out, and he threw out an olive branch from the inner courtyard without hesitation.
Li Yuansheng was born in the country of Li, and he is the grandson of the dean of the Sheng'an Academy, and he also won the position of the holy son before he came, and he is the biggest in terms of influence on the demon clan.
As for Gu Nansui, although he has the most ordinary background among the four, he is only the president of the Magician Association, but he hides a layer of demon blood, and his status is not low. In the future when the relationship between the demon race and the human race is becoming increasingly rigid, it may play an unexpected role.
The inner court disciples selected by the Ochre Academy are more or less influencing the changes in the continental empire.
And Mu Shi, who appeared in the end, was actually a little surprised even by Dean Qu Chuan. If it weren't for the one who suddenly appeared, maybe Mu Shi would have been taken down by them the moment he broke into the eye of the dragon vein, and as for the demon clan whose status was not low, he would have been strangled directly.
Mu Shi's identity is even more interesting to Qu Chuan: the Lushi clan, this mysterious and mysterious race, has also been given the title of the Heavenly Imperial Clan in the legends of the Sui'an Continent, which means the Heavenly Imperial Clan.
Qu Chuan looked at Mu Shi's figure, and countless memories came to his heart.
This magical race, which has too many legends, has been the object of pursuit by the human race for thousands of years. It is said that they will not grow old with their appearance, they are born to awaken the power of all the elements, and they are proficient in the art of alchemy, and the colored elemental power can be transformed at will, and can provide energy for anyone, almost a race favored by the heavens.
But too much glory is also the beginning of the killing machine, after the self-discipline Shi clan was abandoned by the demon clan, the human race accepted them on the surface, but they couldn't hide their greed, in vain to turn the law clan into a forbidden body. On the eve of the decisive battle with the demons, the Rishi finally discovered that their missing patriarch and saintess were imprisoned by the Terrans.
That period of history was so dark that later generations tacitly erased this history, and only the strong people at the peak of the continent would know this secret.
A fierce battle broke out between the angry Rhishi leadership and the Terran leadership at the time, and the outcome of that battle was unknown. People only know that the next day, the Ritsushi Clan, who was supposed to fight a decisive battle with the Terran against the Demon Army, disappeared overnight, and even the top of their own family did not appear.
That battle was also suppressed by the demons like never before because of the loss of core combat power. The battle front was defeated one after another, and the territory of the demon clan once expanded to today's Yunchuang Empire.
At that time, the demon clan finally felt threatened, abandoned its previous suspicions and cooperated with the human race, slowed down the pace of the demon race, and bought precious time for the recovery of the upper echelons of the human race, and then there was a hundreds of years of stalemate.
Those few hundred years were when the demon race was at its strongest, occupying three-fifths of the territory of the Sui'an Continent, and only the current Beifeng Empire and Li Kingdom were the last pure land. The Terrans paid a terrible price for their greed.
It wasn't until the birth of the Ice Emperor Hai Hanxi that this stalemate was broken, and the shemale alliance that had been struggling to support was able to breathe. Hai Hanxi, who stepped into the realm of legends with one foot, had another title at that time - a demi-saint.
But it's very strange that Hai Hanxi, who was originally supposed to kill the Demon Emperor at that time, was frustrated for unknowing reasons, and finally chose to die with the Demon Emperor.
The demon clan that lost the Demon Emperor was pushed back to the Death Mountain Range by the two demon clans, and was summoned by the demon clan to bite back a large number of beast tides, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, the two sides tacitly agreed to divide the territory with the Death Mountain Range as the boundary.
In the past few hundred years, there has not been a shadow of the Lyric clan, as if it has never appeared.
In the next few hundred years, the situation changed, the storms surged, the old empires were still there, and the new empires were growing. The Blue Yue Empire was even more backward.
During this period, the demons still harassed unrelentingly, but they were no longer able to start that great battle.
Maybe the environment was too comfortable, and the human race began to fight internally, for the territory, for the right, but the demon race quieted down and quietly recovered.
It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that the figure of the Rishi clan appeared on the continent again, it was a powerful alchemist, and it was also his appearance that frustrated the demon clan's forbearance for hundreds of years ago.
If the law clan does not appear, it will be a blockbuster as soon as it appears. The forgotten memories are reawakened, and the Terrans once again begin their greedy pursuit of the Ritsushi.
So a hundred years later, there was another member of the Lyric clan, who was still a growing Lysor.
Is it a coincidence?
Qu Chuan had been calculating under the starry sky, but he was still at a loss about the future of this girl from the Rishi clan.
"Dean, may I ask you a question?" Si Li suddenly broke the somewhat heavy atmosphere.
Qu Chuan woke up from his own memories, looking at this big boy who also had a strange background and was selected by the inner courtyard, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "You ask." β
"What did you set up the inner courtyard for? If it was just to cultivate new blood to fight against the demons, the resources of the outer courtyard could do it. Si Li's gentle eyes were shining, and he was not afraid of Dean Qu Chuan's sudden fierce momentum, "You have invested too much effort and resources in us, and sometimes too much of it shocks me. β
"It's more like a gamble to train us so much." Si Li stared at Dean Qu Chuan with burning eyes, and his tone was firm, "With what you said about the Demon Clan, we should have the right to know what you want to do to us?" β
Jun Lao and Han Xi both showed a look of surprise, obviously Si Li's performance surprised them a little.
Dean Qu Chuan didn't answer, he looked at Si Li motionlessly, his momentum was only aimed at Si Li, and his face gradually climbed, Si Li's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and didn't take a step back with the coercion.
As time passed, Si Li suddenly shook his body, as if he was about to fall, but he stopped him alive.
"Si Li!" Mu Shi was a little worried, although Si Li's questioning was something she wanted to know, but she didn't want Si Li to be punished for this.
Gritting his teeth slightly, Mu Shi took a step forward and turned around dexterously to block in front of Si Li, and immediately felt the terrifying coercion of Dean Qu Chuan. Fortunately, Mu Shi's body had already been tempered, and after a crackling sound of bones and muscles grinding, Mu Shi stiffened his back and looked up at the dean.
Although he was forced to speak by the dean's coercion, Mu Shi's eyes were enough to explain everything.
Seeing this, Gu Nan walked to Mu Shi's side expressionlessly, and gently put his hand on Mu Shi's shoulder, sharing the general pressure. Seeing this, Li Yuansheng and Su Junlai walked to the other side of Mu Shi and took on the other half of the pressure for Mu Shi.
"You ......" Dean Qu Chuan looked at the five pairs of stubborn eyes, a little stunned, and then dissipated the coercion with tears and laughter, "It seems that your relationship is already very good." β
"Isn't it me who you said was the bridge?" After the pressure was shared, Mu Shi was finally able to speak, and said leisurely.
"I wasn't sure before, but now I should be." Qu Chuan smiled slightly, "Okay, don't be so vigilant. You've also been in the inner courtyard for two years, and it's time to tell you. β
After hearing this, Gu Nan silently released his hand from Mu Shi's shoulder and retreated to a horizontal line between Si Shi.
"But before that, can I ask you a question?" Qu Chuan looked at Si Li and said politely.
"The dean has tormented the students, please speak." Si Li hurriedly waved his hand.
"Huh." Dean Qu Chuan chuckled, raised his hand and pointed at Mu, "Tell you, do you know her life experience?" β
Si Li glanced at it and nodded simply, not surprised by Qu Chuan's question at all, "We have known each other for a few years five years, and I have been paying attention to her because of my special induction, so I have long known her life experience." β
"Hey?!? Si Li, why did you never tell us! Su Junlai's eyes widened in surprise, "You're so perverted!" Unexpectedly, the Blue Maple Auction House has been investigating Mu Shi! β
"Oh? It turns out that your name is Mu Shi? Dean Qu Chuan pretended to be surprised.
"Oops! Said it leaked! Su Junlai hurriedly covered his mouth, and showed a pitiful look again, "Dean, don't blame her!" It's not convenient for girls to walk outside! β
Mu Shi and Si Li both sneered, and Si Li said with a smile, "Xiaojun, do you think the dean really doesn't know Mu Shi's true identity?" I'm afraid that before Mu Shi came in, her information was already on the dean's desk. β
"Is that so?" Su Junlai blinked, a little confused.
Dean Qu Chuan hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and pressed Su Junlai's head, "Your pure heart is a good thing, but sometimes, you still need to use your brain, among these five people, I am most worried about you." β
Su Junlai blushed and stuck out his tongue, "I'll pay attention to it later." β
"Alright. After being at Ochre Academy for so long, do you know how he was founded? Dean Qu Chuan let go of his hand behind his back and looked at the position of the outer courtyard a little distracted.
"My father only told me that this is the first line of defense against the demons, and if I can enter the inner courtyard, I can become the first line of resistance to the demons in the future." Su Junlai touched the top of his head and said embarrassedly.
"I'm here because of Elder Hanxi." Gu Nan said lightly.
"I came here because of Brother Gu's message and wanting to become stronger." Li Yuansheng added.
Si Li pressed his chin and hesitated for a while, "I want to know my background......
"It seems that none of my inner court disciples know the history of the academyβ" Dean Qu Chuan skipped Mu Shi directly, as if on purpose, and the sigh of disappointment made the four of them a little embarrassed.
"Elder Hanxi, why don't you tell them the history of the Ochre Academy?" Dean Qu Chuan smiled and looked at the Ice Queen behind him.
There was a glimmer of light in Han Xi's eyes, and for some reason Mu Shi saw a hint of pride, she waved her spear and pointed it at the five people, the cold air was wanton, and she said coldly and arrogantly, "Ochre Academy, it was created by the Ice Emperor Hai Hanxi!" β
"Huh?!"
