It was as if time had suddenly stood still at this moment.

But what was surprising was that after listening to Xia Sheng's words, Hu Shuo's face did not show too much panic, nor did he show too strong shock, but looked calmer than anyone else.

There was only a palpitating silence in the room.

After a while, Hu Shuo finally asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Xia Sheng nodded solemnly: "I saw it with my own eyes." ”

There was another long silence.

When he spoke again, there was finally a slight tremor in his voice: "Brother Tang...... How did you die?"

Xia Chang let out a long sigh: "I was invaded by the evil qi at the center of the academy's mountain guarding array. ”

Hu Shuo's eyes suddenly condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Guarding the mountain array?"

Xia Sheng nodded: "In order to save the students of the academy, Dean Tang turned into a long sword and suppressed evil with his life, but when I arrived, I was already powerless." ”

Hu Shuo keenly discovered the most fatal problem in this matter, and asked again: "Are you saying that the academy's mountain guarding array was broken by the barbarian powerhouse, and now there is no one in the academy who can preside over the overall situation?"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, but after thinking about it again, he still nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Hu Shuo took a deep breath and fell silent for the third time, this time it took nearly half a column of incense before he raised his head again, as if he had made a very important decision, he raised his hand and grabbed Xia Sheng's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Today after the end of the Spring Festival, a big event will happen, this matter involves the seventy-two sects, at that time, you, as the representative of my Spring and Autumn Academy, support the Hundred Flowers Sect!"

Xia Sheng didn't understand the deep meaning behind Hu Shuo's words. But he sensed what Hu Shuo was going to do next.

So he secretly frowned, and said suspiciously: "Then you ......"

"Without further ado, I'll rush back to the academy now!"

When the words fell, Xia Sheng knew that what he was most worried about had happened, but it had come to this. Even if he wanted to stop Hu Shuo, he couldn't stop it, so he simply said to Hu Shuo: "In this way, the safety of the academy will be handed over to Dean Hu." ”

Hu Shuo nodded solemnly and repeated again: "I said that I am the vice president of the academy. ”

Xia Sheng looked at Hu Shuo with a gloomy look and said, "I don't know if I should believe you, but I do." Dean Bai believes in you, and Vice President Tang also trusts you, and I only hope that you will not live up to their trust. ”

Hu Shuo didn't speak anymore, but took his hand and saluted Xia Sheng, then turned around and walked towards the exit of the Nagano Secret Realm.

Xia Sheng saw Hu Shuo disappear from his sight, and before he had time to analyze whether today's events were good or bad, he saw Xu Kang, Mo Yuan, Shen Hui and others running towards him.

"Xia Jiaoxi. The team battle is about to begin...... Eh, what about Dean Hu?"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng immediately raised an incomparably bright smile. Said to everyone: "Dean Hu has something urgent, let's leave for a while, okay, now let's focus on the game, is the battlefield area divided?"

Mo Yuan nodded, raising his hand and pointing to the east side of Nagano's secret realm. "We're in the East End. ”

"Where's the Celestial Star Academy?"

"West End. ”

In an instant, the smile on Xia Sheng's face became a little bigger, because such a distribution result was exactly what he wanted.

Because of this conversation with Hu Shuo, Xia Sheng missed a lot of things. For example, Huang Lao's speech, such as Hong Lao's encouragement to all sentient beings, and Murong Wangui's bold words on behalf of the participating disciples.

For Xia Sheng, none of this mattered.

The important thing is that in the next team battle, he will do his best to bring Murong back late, and bring him to the Heavenly Star Courtyard where he is located, and defeat the abyss.

After a stick of incense, all the representatives participating in this year's Chunqiu team battle, a total of 64 people, were divided into four theaters of east, west, south and north according to their respective camps, and entered a state of full preparation.

The Spring and Autumn Academy and the Celestial Star Academy occupy the east and west respectively, with the Celestial Star Academy sitting in the southern area, and finally the representatives of the major families and sects gathered in the north of the Nagano Secret Realm.

As for others, such as Kui Mu, Zheng Rong, and the vast number of masters of the seventy-two sects, they were arranged to the Mitsuki Corridor above the Nagano Secret Realm, which could not only overlook the entire war zone, but also would not affect the performance of the personnel in the battle.

Compared with the orderly order of the teachers and students of the three major academies, the Northern War Zone of the Nagano Secret Realm was a little scattered, and most of the representatives and disciples of the major families and sects who participated in the battle chose to fight on their own, neither forming a solid formation, nor making a reasonable division of labor according to the different strengths and strengths of each person.

And it can be faintly seen that between the representatives of the nine great families and the disciples of the seventy-two sects, there seems to be an invisible ravine, and the two sides are in their own camps and do not interfere with each other.

There are nine people on one side and seven people on the other, everyone is clearly distinguished, although they are still polite in words and deeds, but they obviously do not agree with each other.

And on the eve of the start of the team battle, in the Nine Great Families Formation, a very strange thing seemed to have happened.

The first person to notice that something was wrong was the representative sent by the Murong family, Murong Jiu.

Speaking of which, this Murong Jiu is indeed a little sad, because he is in the Murong family.

Although he was a gifted person like the others present, as long as Murong returned one day later, Murong Jiu was destined to live in his shadow.

The family's resources and strength will unconditionally tilt towards Murong Wangui, but what about Murong Jiu?

Only the rest can be picked up.

It's just like the quota for this spring competition.

However, Murong Jiu couldn't even get jealousy, because the gap between the strength and talent of the two was too big, so big that he despaired.

For example, in this year's Spring Festival, Murong Jiu was defeated in the first round of scuffle, and Murong returned late?

People and people are really incomparable in many cases.

Murong Wangui is destined to be the head of the Murong family in the future, and Murong Jiu has already accepted his fate and is willing to be the green leaves that set off the red flowers, for example, in this team battle, Murong Jiu's task is to use all means to help the Heavenly Star Academy win the final victory.

But he found that the situation did not seem to be as simple as he had imagined.

Because at the moment when the team battle was about to start, the representatives of the other eight families, who were supposed to belong to the same camp as Murong Jiu, suddenly surrounded him!

Ye Qing of the Ye family, as well as Gu Zhixing of the Gu family, both pulled out the swords at their waists and stopped in front of Murong Jiu.

Qin Xiaoran of the Qin family and Xue Liang of the Xue family at the same time lit up the arrogance and brilliance in the spiritual aperture, holding Murong Jiu's back road.

Su Mu of the Su family, Li Rufeng of the Li family, Han Youcheng of the Han family, and Xu Minghui of the Xu family, the four of them lined up on both sides of Murong Jiu, looking at him with solemn eyes.

For a while, the cold sweat behind Murong Jiu's back had soaked through his clothes.
