The entire academy was on high alert, yet those individuals seemed to have no intention of making a move. Everything appeared calm, undisturbed.
However, chaos often erupts in an instant. Just as the students from the four major academies were being settled by their teachers.
Suddenly...
"Rumble!"
In the spectator stands, a spot erupted with a terrifying explosion. Hundreds of people nearby were caught in the horrific attack. Some were Lords themselves, possessing great strength and thus sustaining no serious injuries.
But those with weaker cultivation were not so fortunate, their bodies instantly torn apart by the energy.
Following the first explosion, several others attempted to act, but streaks of light shot towards them.
In the spectator area, a man tried to throw a scroll he held, but a master from Dragon Green Academy appeared, directly destroying the scroll, subduing the man, and then apprehending him.
Yet, not everyone could be apprehended. In a few places, individuals succeeded in creating unrest, causing panic.
The scene devolved into chaos, filled with all sorts of cries of weeping and pleas for help.
But the people of Dragon Green Academy had done their best, minimizing the casualties. Still, no one could guarantee that there weren't hidden contingencies.
Zuo Jianyuan flew directly to the arena and, leading over a thousand strong individuals, took the host's microphone. "Esteemed guests, I am the principal of Dragon Green Academy. Spies attempted to disrupt the competition between the four major academies. I urge everyone to orderly enter the small world within the arena to rest for a while."
"Once this matter is concluded, I will provide an explanation to all, and to those who suffered casualties or injuries."
"Please cooperate actively. Dragon Green Academy will not let any evildoer go unpunished, nor will we wrongly accuse any innocent soul."
Upon hearing Zuo Jianyuan's words, some people followed the guidance of Dragon Green Academy and began to walk into the small world that Zuo Jianyuan had opened.
Naturally, there were dissenting voices, even attempts to incite panic. However, those individuals were apprehended immediately. After detaining a hundred people, these voices finally ceased.
Countless people began to enter the small world. As for the injured, they were arranged elsewhere by the people of Dragon Green Academy.
At this moment, a group of people appeared in the void, rapidly descending towards the crowd.
"Hmph! Not giving up yet!" Zuo Jianyuan snorted coldly. Then, a group of Dragon Green Academy members surged forward to intercept them.
"Kill!"
Another group of black-clad figures charged towards the resting students of the four academies. The entire arena instantly transformed into a battlefield.
"A bunch of petty insects, trying to deal with us!" Chu Luoyan scoffed at the sight of over a hundred black-clad figures, picking up her ten-meter long divine artifact and advancing towards them.
"Whoa, that's a divine artifact!"
"How does this woman have a divine artifact?"
"It's a divine artifact! Oh no, this woman is Chu Luoyan."
Seeing the divine artifact Chu Luoyan had produced, the hundred individuals immediately turned to flee. They never expected to encounter someone like Chu Luoyan; their luck was truly abysmal.
"Since you've come, you're not leaving."
Chu Luoyan raised her divine artifact, her killing intent soaring. She appeared like a female Asura descended from hell, emanating an incredibly terrifying aura.
"Swoosh!"
A blade energy cleaved from Chu Luoyan's hand, transforming into a terrifying energy tens of meters long, directly bisecting over a dozen of the slower fleeing individuals.
This spurred the other black-clad figures to flee even faster. With Chu Luoyan wielding a divine artifact, she was practically invincible, barring Demigod-level powerhouses. These mere grunts were no match for her.
Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded: in the areas of the other four academies, black-clad figures were battling the teachers.
But by Ziwei Academy's area, it was Chu Luoyan chasing the black-clad figures all over the place.
"Stop for me!"
Chu Luoyan, wielding her long saber, unleashed terrifying energy storms with every swing, making the black-clad figures too afraid to confront her.
"Rumble!" Another powerful blade energy erupted. Chu Luoyan once again cut down several black-clad figures.
Upon seeing Chu Luoyan, the black-clad figures scattered like mice encountering a cat, desperate to avoid her.
Chu Luoyan, wielding a divine artifact, was simply too strong. Not a single person dared to face her head-on.
However, a peculiar silhouette suddenly appeared behind Chu Luoyan. Chu Luoyan unleashed boundless killing intent and turned, unleashing a fearsome energy blast.
"Boom!"
The tremendous impact sent Chu Luoyan flying back. She frowned and then said, "Who are you? You don't seem to be allied with these people."
"Hehehehehehe..." The figure let out a cold laugh, appearing sinister and evil. "A divine artifact, eh? Very good, very good. I shall have this divine artifact."
"Hmph! Want my divine artifact? Come and get it if you have the guts!"
Chu Luoyan was fearless and defiant. Someone dared to covet her divine artifact? That was akin to the old man寿星吊sheng drinking his own longevity elixir – seeking death!
Chu Luoyan also recognized that this individual was not easy to deal with, possessing immense strength. She began to unleash her true power, transforming into an Asura, a terrifying Rakshasa figure manifesting behind her.
Then, Chu Luoyan's entire demeanor changed, becoming even more terrifying, like an evil god solely focused on slaughter.
"Today, I shall slay you!" Chu Luoyan gripped her divine artifact, which erupted with terrifying divine power, causing even the void to tremble.
"Little girl, when I was soaring through the heavens, you were not even born. I've grown tired of my pseudo-divine artifact, so I shall switch to a divine artifact."
The opponent was enveloped in dark energy, with only a pair of blood-red eyes exuding an aura of malevolence and darkness.
He held a scythe, appearing like a demon. His pseudo-divine artifact, though not as potent as Chu Luoyan's divine artifact, could still contend with it, not being instantly shattered.
Both sides unleashed terrifying fluctuations. Although the black-clad figure's weapon was inferior, his strength surpassed Chu Luoyan's. Their combat power was both close to that of Demigod powerhouses, and for a time, they fought to a stalemate.
"Rumble!" Their battle was fierce.
Collisions, explosions, and energy impacts continuously erupted in the air.
Cracks appeared on the ground, and countless seats were blown apart by the terrifying energy.
Both of their energy fluctuations were of the dark attribute. However, the black-clad figure's energy was of a chilling and sinister nature, while Chu Luoyan's was filled with destructive power.
