"Indeed, it's almost New Year!"
Lu Fan spoke, "You seem to have a unique sentiment, otherwise why ask?"
"In the past, at Canglong Academy, when New Year arrived, the city below the mountain would be brightly lit. Many disciples of Canglong Academy would stand and gaze, filled with longing," Long Yi said. Su Dan Novel Network
"Did you not even have freedom at Canglong Academy before?" Lin Ke asked, somewhat surprised.
"Although Canglong Academy is called an academy, it is in reality nothing more than a training ground, specifically for cultivating assassins to serve the academy!"
Long Yi said with a bitter smile, "Back then, as the senior disciple of Canglong Academy, I didn't have the right to leave the academy easily, let alone other students."
Hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. To have lived without ever seeing the outside world's splendor, what meaning did such a life hold?
"Xiao Fan, why don't we go to Canglong Academy now!"
Lin Ke suggested, "As long as we deal with the Canglong Dean, all the disciples of Canglong Academy will be free to roam the cities, no longer bound by any restrictions."
"I was thinking the same thing!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Let's make a trip to Canglong Academy. If we can kill that dean, it will also fulfill a wish of mine."
"If that's the case, I will set off now!" Lin Ke's expression was solemn.
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you!" The Grand Elder said solemnly. "More people mean more help. My strength has greatly increased, and I will surely be able to assist."
"At the beginning of the Dragon Dynasty's establishment, as the Grand Elder of the Dynasty, how can you easily leave?"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Staying within the Dynasty to guard it is the most beneficial."
"But..." The Grand Elder felt helpless.
"That's enough, no need to say more!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze becoming even more serious. His decisions would not be easily changed.
Seeing Lu Fan's firm resolve, the Grand Elder could not say more and could only nod slightly.
Not long after, Lu Fan and the others left Longdu, heading towards Canglong Academy, carrying with them an unparalleled killing intent.
In the early days of the Dragon Dynasty's establishment, the Canglong Dean had personally intervened, nearly destroying the entire Dragon Dynasty. Now, Lu Fan and the others returned with great force and naturally would not let Canglong Academy off easily.
Meanwhile, at this very moment, in a secret location within the Dragon Kingdom, Hei Yu, heavily wounded, entered the great hall. Within this hall, two figures stood together, one in white and the other in black, both exuding immense auras.
"Hei Bai Lords!"
Hei Yu walked in, his voice laced with fear. He had failed to obtain the divine sword and thus had not completed the orders of the Hei Bai Lords. In the Ghost Hall, such a failure was extremely serious.
"The Dragon Roar Sword has appeared, why do you not have it in your hand?"
Hei Wuchang opened his eyes and looked at Hei Yu. "And you are heavily injured! What exactly happened?"
"I had already obtained the Dragon Roar Sword at the peak of the North Sea, but they were too cunning and their strength surpassed mine!" Hei Yu quickly explained. "Otherwise, I would not have been defeated and ended up in such a sorry state."
"Simply useless!"
Bai Wuchang's expression was cold. "As a peak Battle Emperor ninth-tier expert, to be injured to this extent by a mob, you truly disgrace us!"
Hei Yu quickly knelt, his eyes filled with terror, and dared not speak further with Bai Wuchang. He knew very well that anyone who dared to argue would face death.
"Where are they now?"
Hei Wuchang said coldly, "If we fail to obtain the divine sword, the Palace Master will hold us accountable, and we will have failed."
"They have already returned to Longdu!" Hei Yu stated. "If the Hei Bai Lords personally act, you will surely be able to capture them all, and even destroy the Dragon Dynasty."
"The Dragon Dynasty has already taken shape and is protected by the power of Heaven's Will. As members of the Ghost Hall, how can we easily enter Longdu!"
Bai Wuchang said coldly, "Do you truly believe that the rules of this world can be broken at will?"
"This subordinate does not know, I beg for your punishment, Lords!" Hei Yu quickly clasped his fists, genuinely terrified.
In front of outsiders, he could refer to himself as "this venerable one" and disregard anyone else, but before the Hei Bai Wuchang, he dared not be presumptuous.
"Continue to gather information. As soon as they leave Longdu, inform us!"
Bai Wuchang said coldly, "If there is another mishap this time, you should know the consequences."
"This subordinate understands!"
Hei Yu quickly nodded, his expression solemn. He knew very well that the five divine swords posed a great threat to the Ghost Hall Master. Any slight negligence could put the entire Ghost Hall in danger.
At this very moment, Lu Fan and the others had set off and in the blink of an eye arrived at Canglong Academy. Within Canglong Academy, many disciples gazed at the city below the mountain, their faces filled with envy.
"I heard that it's almost Spring Festival, and the city is decorated with lanterns and festive lights. How fun it would be if we could go and see!"
"Who says it's not true! It's an annual grand event, with fireworks every year, looking so lively. Anyone would want to see it!"
"You all need to be careful with your words, if someone overhears you, it will be trouble!"
"Exactly, exactly! If the instructors hear it, we'll surely face physical punishment!"
Within Canglong Academy, many disciples conversed, their eyes filled with anticipation, but also with helplessness. They knew very well that there was no chance of seeing the fireworks in the city.
"What are you doing there? Why aren't you cultivating diligently?"
Just then, an instructor walked over, speaking with dissatisfaction.
The disciples quickly scattered and hurried off to cultivate.
On the mountain peak outside Canglong Academy, Long Yi watched the scene before her, her anger rising. "I was like this before too, only able to watch the fireworks below the mountain quietly!"
"Since that's the case, let's help them!"
Lin Ke said, "Destroy the entire Canglong Academy. In this way, everyone will be saved!"
Long Yi nodded slightly, without any hesitation. She stepped forward fiercely, carrying an unparalleled sword intent. Holding the Dragon Roar Sword, she was like a peerless goddess, her path marked by supreme sword intent.
"Senior Disciple Sister, it's Senior Disciple Sister!"
The disciples of Canglong Academy exclaimed in surprise, filled with disbelief. They never imagined that Long Yi would appear at Canglong Academy at this time, and with such a formidable aura.
The instructors, upon seeing this, frowned. They had not expected Long Yi to return to Canglong Academy.
"You have quite the audacity, to betray the academy and still dare to come back!"
An instructor shot into the sky, charging towards Long Yi. His path was marked by streaks of starlight.
Boom...
However, before he could even reach Long Yi, everyone heard a booming sound. The instructor was sent flying, instantly cleaved in two, a terrifying sight.
