Zhao Hongshan followed the direction of Jin Xuyi's mark and rushed to the northern border. Finally, the breath of the mark disappeared into the far north.
He looked at the fate boundary in front of him and the demon sky on the other side of the boundary, his face as dark as water.
If there were only a few teleportation circles, he could still catch up.
But this time, the enemy's arrangement was stricter than when dealing with a third-grade scholar.
Not only did he know Yunzhou's route forward in advance, he also used such a large-scale teleportation circle regardless of the cost.
Even the teleportation array was annihilated in the void.
The top-level teleportation circle that could have been used for several years was instead used as a one-time teleportation circle.
The enemy is determined to kill Li Changan.
No chance to escape at all.
If it weren't for the gold-threaded clothes on Li Changan's body, he could still trace the traces back by following the marks. I'm afraid no one would be able to find these traces even after a stick of incense.
Li Changan disappeared out of thin air without anyone noticing.
"Who is it!? How dare you act like this!?" Zhao Hongshan glanced at the northern sky for the last time, then turned and walked back into the void.
The direction in which the mark disappeared was within the territory of the Northern Demon Kingdom.
The teleportation circle can actually penetrate the Great Jin Dynasty and the Demon Kingdom. The power behind it is truly terrifying.
In the entire Jin Dynasty, apart from the Fourth Academy and the First Supervisor, Zhao Hongshan could not think of any other forces with this kind of strength.
"Since you want war... then I will give you what you want!"
Zhao Hongshan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Changan just said a few days ago that most of the literary work has been restored, and he is coming to the capital to prepare for a new division.
It is very likely that White Deer Academy will take this opportunity to relax under the siege of the three courtyards and one prison.
But right now, there are still people who dare to act so arrogantly.
This is determined to start a war.
They didn't take the previous warning seriously.
In the capital, a simple and long-lasting bell sounded from the depths of Bailu Academy.
The sound of the bell continued to spread outwards, awakening the leaf protector who was sitting cross-legged on the leaves of the tree, as well as all the students in the main academy.
One sound, two sounds...
There were more and more bells ringing, and the expressions on the faces of all the people in the main campus of White Deer Academy became more solemn.
Finally the bell stopped at the ninth tone.
Nine is Lao Yang, Yang is fire, and fire represents war.
The atmosphere in White Deer Academy instantly turned into a violent atmosphere because of the sound of the bell.
In the Palace of Wen Sheng, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness. In front of these figures, a huge broken root, like a mountain in the sky and earth, loomed in the void.
This severed root is nearly a hundred miles long and horizontal, but only less than one mile in diameter is still connected. The other places seem to have been cut off by a sharp knife, and they are all withered and yellow.
Only the connections still have some greenery, but even then the connections seem to be disconnecting.
Boundless literary energy and luck poured into it, slowing down the speed of the roots and fragmentation.
These figures cast their gaze outside Wensheng Palace,
"Why have so many big things happened recently? We have been retreating to Wensheng Palace for many years, but we have never been able to fully enter samadhi."
"This is the war bell..."
…
Zhao Hongshan stood on the top of Jianmu, looking at the leaf protectors standing up one after another. The aura on his body was as deep as a prison, as if a volcano was about to erupt, and would engulf the world in the next moment.
"Please ask Wensheng Palace to open a large array of guards."
"Order the leaf protectors to prepare for war."
"Wenmai, martial arts, soldiers, formations... get ready to go to war."
Every time Zhao Hongshan uttered an order, he would place a war post in the air, turning into a raging fighting spirit and soaring into the sky.
The blue-purple war luck began to gather over the capital.
At this moment, the entire capital was panicked.
All high-ranking officials and family members looked in the direction of White Deer Academy in horror.
On weekdays, White Deer Academy is a quiet institution, but it has been jointly targeted by the three academies and one supervisor, gradually showing its weakness.
Many people believe that White Deer Academy is likely to be replaced in the future.
But at this moment, all the previous contempt was gone.
Some families who were even ready to rebel were too frightened to move.
They were afraid that White Deer Academy would suddenly erupt just to deal with them.
From the imperial palace to the academy, to the family members, and even ordinary people, everyone was overwhelmed by the momentum of the White Deer Academy.
I was so frightened that I didn't know what was happening.
In the Wensheng Palace of Songyue Academy, Qin Zhenliang quickly stood up and walked out of the Wensheng Palace.
"What happened? Why did White Deer Academy suddenly launch a war!?"
Qin Zhenliang summoned the major lineage masters.
But all the bloodline masters looked at each other in shock, not knowing what was going on.
"We have always been in control of White Deer Academy and have not made any moves beyond the line."
"I will never offend White Deer Academy and make it launch a war regardless of everything."
…
Qin Zhenliang looked at the dozen pulse masters hatefully, and then walked directly into the void.
At the same time, third-grade scholars from Xiangshan Academy, Wansong Academy, and Imperial College came forward to come to White Deer Academy to pay their respects.
However, White Deer Academy's preparations for war did not stop. The war fortunes continued to gather in the sky above White Deer Academy, turning into a towering giant tree, spreading its branches and leaves outwards, covering the world.
He looked like he was fighting to the death.
This is a competition at the level of four hospitals and one prison.
Those family members who were originally active in the officialdom are now shrinking their heads, fearing that this fire will burn them.
"Brother Zhao, what happened? Why did you use such a formation without saying a word?" Qin Zhenliang stood in the void and transmitted a message to Zhao Hongshan.
But Zhao Hongshan's eyes were full of murderous intent. As he spoke, the September sky suddenly seemed to have entered the coldest month of winter.
"Anyway, this battle will come sooner or later, so why not do it now?"
"Rather than being targeted like this by you, it's better to give it a try."
Shen Shijun, the virtuous master of Wansong Academy, also walked out of the void, "Brother Zhao, what kind of madness are you doing? We don't know what happened, there must be a reason, right?"
"And if there is a fight, the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty will inevitably fall apart..."
Zhao Hongshan sneered, "After I die, who will care about the flood?"
"Anyway, if I, the White Deer Academy, are gone, you won't be able to live well!"
"At worst, it will completely destroy the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty. It will be useless for me to let you have cultural background."
"Dajin is gone, just let everyone die together!"
Wu Zhanchun, the virtuous man of Xiangshan Academy, looked anxious. The reason why they had been asking Bailu Academy to boil frogs in warm water was because they were afraid that Bailu Academy would lose everything.
But now Zhao Hongshan is about to start a war, and he doesn't even care about Jin's life or death.
How does this happen?
"Brother Zhao, can you first tell us what happened? If someone under your command makes a mistake, we will definitely give you an explanation."
"If we start a war rashly, the safety of more than one billion people in the Jin Dynasty will be threatened."
"Once the fate of the country is shattered, how will we face our ancestors?"
Zhao Hongshan's aura of violence became thicker and thicker. Behind him, the leaf protectors all had lightning-like eyes. Under Jianmu's guidance, they exuded an aura that was more tyrannical than a third-grade scholar.
"Ancestors? You use such despicable means to deal with a person who saved your lives, and you feel clear in your hearts?"
"Even if I die, I have to ask my ancestors, which of your family's ancestral mottos is ingratitude and repaying kindness with hatred?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other four third-grade scholars changed one after another.
Zhao Hongshan directly brought out all the ancestral precepts without any hesitation. It seemed that he was really forced to do so.
It is true that Li Changan was a student of Bailu, but he did help them save their lives.
They had already strictly ordered their subordinates not to use any killing moves against Li Changan.
After all, the decline of White Deer Academy is irreversible, and the worst is to wait a little longer.
When White Deer is defeated, they can absorb the remains of White Deer Academy and strengthen themselves.
Among them, Li Changan is undoubtedly the best choice.
With such thoughts in mind, how could they possibly kill Li Changan?
"Brother Zhao, are you mistaken?" The Imperial Public Relations Officer Xian said politely, "We have never taken action against Li Changan."
"As you said, Li Changan saved our lives. Even if we step back ten thousand steps, we would not be able to kill him."
Zhao Hongshan waved his hand.
A scene from the previous time flashback appeared in the sky.
From Yunzhou being wrapped into the void by the teleportation circle, to the continuous teleportation in the void.
The four third-grade scholars all frowned.
"Such a long-distance teleportation array was actually used in this way..." Qin Zhenliang's voice contained a hint of solemnity.
"Brother Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with our Songyue Academy, I can guarantee that!"
"If you want to set up such a continuous magic circle, you need two third-level great scholars to fix the teleportation magic circle in the void, and then you need another two third-level great scholars to position themselves in the next void and set up the connection magic circle..."
"Except for me, there are only two third-grade scholars from Songyue Academy who have left Wensheng Palace recently."
Several other people were also denying it, "This matter has nothing to do with us. We dispatched four third-grade scholars all at once just to set up such a teleportation circle. It is impossible for us to do this."
"Since you want to kill Li Changan, why go to such trouble?"
"We're going to start a war anyway, so why bother?"
"There must be something fishy in this matter!"
Zhao Hongshan sneered, "Other than the Fourth Hospital and the First Prison, who else can use such means?"
"Don't talk about those family members... As long as you enter the third rank, you must enter the Wensheng Palace. There are no third rank scattered outside."
"Is it the royal family?"
"There are two third-grade people in the Zongren Mansion. One of them died last time. Now there is only one person left to guard the Zongren Mansion. How dare he move?"
Zhao Hongshan stretched out his hand to grab the battle flag, and in an instant, a strong wind roared and the sky and the earth changed color.
"I'm too lazy to check. Anyway, the enemy is one of the four of you, or more."
"Hitting one family is a fight, and hitting four families is also a fight."
"You all should stop talking nonsense and just start a war. Anyway, if our White Deer Academy is gone, there will be no need for the Jin Dynasty to exist."
As he spoke, the war flag in Zhao Hongshan's hand pointed at the other four people, making a hunting sound.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room,
Dugu Zhao looked at the changing color of the sky outside, his eyes changing.
"This is the academy..."
"I usually stay calm, but if I really take action, my so-called royal court is nothing more than duckweed in the water, which can be easily crushed."
"This...is not the Dajin I want..."
And deeper inside the palace,
In a Taoist temple with bright lights,
On the bronze lampstand, the candle slowly extinguished and smoke filled the air.
A pair of dark eyes with no whites opened quietly.
