Even though Tiancang City has not experienced the disaster of war, it is no longer as lively and prosperous as in the past. There are not many people walking on the streets, and most of them have their heads lowered and their expressions are depressed.
Even though they had not left Tiancang City, they were still aware of the tragic situation outside. Countries had sent troops to invade, many cities had been captured, and there was no room for fighting back.
There seemed to be a layer of gloom in their hearts, and they felt extremely depressed. They didn't know how long Tiancang City could be peaceful. When the day when the armies of various countries invaded Tiancang City, they would all be destroyed.
What makes them suffer the most is that they can't see the slightest hope. No one can save them, not even their king. Otherwise, the current situation would not have happened.
If Cang Lan is really going to be destroyed, I'm afraid the king will also abandon them.
At this time, an elderly figure was walking along the street. Unknowingly, he reached the location of Prince Mu's Mansion, and stopped, with a look of astonishment on his face.
The magnificent mansion in my impression has now turned into a pile of ruins, extremely desolate, and no one even came to clean it. It is hard to imagine that a supreme royal palace once stood here, with all the power in the world.
How is this going?
The old man was full of confusion. At this time, a passerby came over and whispered to the old man: "Old man, it is best not to stay here for a long time, so as not to be implicated."
"Implicated?" The old man's eyes couldn't help but show doubts, and he looked at the man and asked, "Isn't this the ruins of Prince Mu's Mansion?"
"You know this is the ruins of Prince Mu's Mansion, why are you still getting closer?" The man asked the old man in turn, causing the old man's eyes to freeze and he vaguely realized something.
I'm afraid something happened to Prince Mu's Mansion.
"I was away for a while, and when I came back I found this. I wonder what happened to Prince Mu's Mansion?" the old man asked.
The man looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered: "The old man doesn't know something. Just more than two months ago, King Mu and the second prince rebelled and wanted to usurp the throne of the king. As a result, they were suppressed by the king. The king
After destroying the Mu Prince's Mansion, no one will dare to come near this place, otherwise they will be considered as members of the Mu Prince's Mansion and will be executed if caught."
"Rebellion!" The old man's heart trembled violently, and there was a look of shock in his eyes. It was obvious that he did not expect such a thing to happen.
However, when he thought about how the king ascended to the throne in the first place, he vaguely figured out that the Mu King was probably dissatisfied and wanted to pull the king off the throne.
"Thank you for letting me know." The old man cupped his fists towards the man.
"It's okay." The man waved his hand carelessly, then thought of something again, and sighed: "The destruction of Prince Mu's Mansion was actually his own fault, and there is nothing worthy of sympathy. However, Yuncang Academy..."
When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly changed, and a hidden edge shone out. He stared at the man and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to Yuncang Academy?"
The man looked at the old man in surprise, and then thought that he didn't know about the Mu King, so it made sense that he didn't know what happened at Yuncang Academy.
"About the same time, a group of elders from Yuncang Academy ran away and confronted the royal family, alarming the entire Tiancang City. Later, the royal family took full control of Yuncang Academy and changed its name to Royal Academy. The prince officially assumed the position of head of the palace."
The man had a look of regret on his face and sighed: "Yuncang Academy was so sacred back then. Who would have thought that it would be reduced to history now? It's really sad."
When the man spoke, the old man's face was shocked, and his heart kept sinking. The elder ran away to fight against the royal family, and the royal family controlled the school. After all, he came back too late.
The next moment, the old man's figure disappeared out of thin air and his whereabouts were unknown.
"It's not peaceful recently. It's better not to go out and walk around if you have nothing to do." The man said to himself, looking to the side, his expression couldn't help but froze there. Where is he?
"this……"
He blinked, and a strange look appeared on his face. Could it be that he had just hallucinated?
Not long after, the old man came to a place. In front of him stood a majestic building. It was huge, shining, and looked extremely sacred.
Staring at the building in front of him, the old man suddenly felt a long-lost sense of familiarity. It looked not much different from when he left, but a qualitative change had occurred.
On the stone tablet at the front of the building, the word "Yun Cang" disappeared, replaced by the word "Royal".
This is the Royal Academy.
"I finally took action." The old man's face seemed extremely sad, and he felt endless self-blame and guilt in his heart. If he had come back earlier, wouldn't everything now happen?
He originally thought it was still too late, but what he didn't expect was that everything changed.
The old man walked forward. His speed seemed very slow, but each step spanned an extremely long distance. It was impossible to capture the movement of his body, and it did not emit any fluctuations. It was silent.
In just a few breaths, the old man arrived at the deepest part of the school, the Elder's Courtyard.
He wanted to see if those old friends were still there.
At this time, there were some figures discussing matters in the Elders' Court. The figure sitting at the head was none other than He Li. There were nine elders on his left and right sides.
These ten people are now all the members of the Royal Academy’s Council of Elders.
When Shang Ze, Jiang Ying and others left, there were actually many members of the Elders' House. However, later the king ordered to take control of Yuncang Academy and changed its name to Royal Academy. This violated the psychological bottom line of some elders and finally left in anger.
.
The remaining ten people are all willing to accept the king's order.
In their opinion, there is not much difference between Yuncang Academy and Imperial Academy. It is still the best place for cultivation in Canglan, and they enjoy more cultivation resources than before. This is a good thing.
"Great Elder, affected by the war outside, many disciples' spiritual mood is very low. Should we take some measures?" An elder looked at He Li and asked.
"What measures are needed?" He Li glanced at the other party lightly and said: "Practice is a personal matter. They are practicing in the best place now, but they don't want to make progress. It can be seen that their belief in practice is not firm enough. Do we want us to
Can’t you force them to practice?”
"That's what the great elder said." The elder nodded repeatedly and said nothing more.
The other elders have remained silent. Now that the situation is so serious, how can they care so much? They just need to practice well on their own. As for the disciples, they just leave it to fate.
"If nothing happens, please disperse." He Li said to everyone.
"Okay." The elders replied and stood up to leave.
"Is this how you run the academy?"
At this moment, a cold scolding sound came into the elders' mansion, causing the expressions of all the elders to change, and they had the same feeling in their hearts. This voice seemed a bit familiar.
The next moment, an old figure stepped into the elder's mansion. After seeing that figure, their eyes were fixed there, with shocked looks on their faces.
"Old Palace Master!" Everyone said in silence, their hearts beating rapidly, unable to conceal their inner excitement.
The old master of the palace has been away for many years, and now he is finally back!
"Huh, I can't be your palace master!" The old man shouted coldly, with a sense of majesty in his tone, which made everyone feel a powerful coercion falling on them, making them feel quite uncomfortable.
"Old Master, there is nothing we can do. After all, you cannot disobey your orders." He Li cupped his hands towards the old man and said with a look of helplessness on his face, as if he had no choice but to do so.
"Is it hard to disobey your order?" The old man glanced at He Li and asked, "When I left, I handed over the school to Shang Ze. Where is he now?"
He Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately replied: "Shang Ze encouraged some elders to leave the academy and confront the royal family. Because of this, he completely angered the royal family and took full control of Yuncang Academy."
A deep meaning flashed in the old man's eyes. He knew Shang Ze's temperament very well, and he was not too strong. That's why he trusted Shang Ze to take charge of the school. To be able to force him to this point, the royal family must have done something extremely excessive.
matter.
"Why did Shang Ze fight against the royal family?" the old man asked again.
"For a disciple." He Li responded immediately, causing the old man to raise his eyebrows and continued: "Tell me carefully."
He Li then briefly recounted what Xiao Muyang had done before, exaggerating Xiao Muyang's arrogance without mentioning his contribution to Canglan. In He Li's words, he was an out-and-out person.
An arrogant person.
After listening to He Li's words, the old man's face showed no trace of joy or anger, and he didn't believe He Li's words in his heart. If that disciple was really that arrogant, how could Shang Ze leave the school because of him?
Even openly defying the royal family.
Obviously, He Li was lying to him.
However, he did not have time to settle accounts with He Li at this time. He had more important things to do. He stepped forward, turned into a ray of light and shot out, disappearing from the sight of He Li and others.
Everyone looked at the direction in which the old man was leaving with dull eyes, and their hearts were up and down. The old master of the palace who had been away for decades suddenly returned. When he saw the current school, he was probably filled with anger.
They suddenly had a strong premonition that Tiancang City was about to cause another disturbance.
"When the old palace master left, he was only half-stepped into the sky. Now that he has returned, I don't know what level of cultivation he has reached." An elder murmured to himself.
He Li and others' hearts trembled violently, as if they all realized something, and then their faces showed extremely excited expressions.
If that layer of shackles had not been broken, the old palace master would definitely not be able to come back. After all, nothing could be changed. This means that the old palace master has now entered the realm of Tiangang.
A Tiangang person can be the king of a country.
Now that they have two Tiangang figures in Canglan, this is great news, and they have every chance to reverse the current crisis!
