The seventh prince joining the Rong Shen School was indeed icing on the cake. The students of the school were especially proud of him.
The prince's identity was special. His joining the school was equivalent to announcing it to the outside world. The Rong Shen School, which already had many students in the Imperial College, had even more believers.
After all, the prince had chosen the Rong Shen School. This was a signal to many people.
The seventh prince naturally became the spokesperson of the Rong Shen School. The outside world paid attention to him.
This was exactly what the seventh prince needed. After the death of the Tianlan King, he fled back to the imperial capital in a sorry state like a stray dog.
His previous glory had completely disappeared. He had no choice but to hide. The hatred in his heart had already reached its peak.
He had been waiting for his fifth brother to return.
The fifth prince had the same mother as him. Compared to the other princes, he was the closest relative.
The fifth prince's fighting strength was second only to the eldest prince. He was so brave and good at fighting that the human emperor paid attention to him and made him the disciple of the first heavenly king. He was stationed at the border of Flaming Moon and rarely returned.
Until recently, he received a secret report that his fifth brother was about to return. This made him excited.
Thus, he joined the Rong Shen School according to his fifth brother's arrangement. Even if he had to change his cultivation method, he was still determined to walk the path of the Rong Shen School.
The Rong Shen School was also very good. They used this incident to greatly help the seventh prince. After he joined, the school master personally guided him and changed his cultivation method.
Just like that!
A month later, the seventh prince's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds with the help of the Rong Shen School. Thirty percent of his body's divinity was exchanged. His body broke through from Spirit Treasure to first level Return Void.
On the day he broke through, all the powers knew. The students of the Imperial College who didn't join the Rong Shen School were all moved.
In a short time, the Rong Shen School's position became even more stable.
The number of followers increased again, becoming the number one school in reality. It indirectly affected the outside world. The earth cultivators in the imperial capital frequently mentioned the path of the Rong Shen School.
This kind of thing had only happened when the Divergent Immortal School was at its peak. A storm of Rong Shen School was erupting among the human race.
Compared to the Rong Shen School, the Divergent Immortal School was becoming more and more quiet.
. It had completely returned to normal.
Even the disciples arranged by the various powers to join the school had disappeared. Only the mysterious woman and the other four who joined later still persisted in showing up every day.
However, it was obvious that they were lacking in power!
As for Xu Qing's three core disciples, they didn't have a choice. From the beginning, they believed the Sect Master's words, but slowly, they became skeptical. Now, everyone felt that it was just that!
In the end, their focus was still on managing the tabloid, dragging Xu Qing along to immerse himself in it all day long!
As for the Sect Master, he sighed in his heart all day long, but the determination in his heart allowed him to remain seated!
However, seeing that he was silent every day, he shouldn't be able to hold on for too long!
If nothing unexpected happened, the Deviant Immortal School would eventually return to the past!
However, something unexpected still happened. The Deviant Immortal Faction's tabloids became a fuse!
It was a tabloid set up by the first three disciples. Its purpose was not to seek truth from facts, but to use all kinds of gossip to form a gimmick. Only this way would it have a certain amount of sales!
Because the Deviant Immortal Sect was in decline, they were not afraid of wearing shoes. Even if the other sects were to be manipulated, there was nothing they could do.
In the past, there were people who came looking for them, but in the face of the Deviant Immortal School, they could only leave in anger.
After all, the Deviant Immortal School was already in such a state. What could they do if they were poor? In fact, the more one came to look for the Deviant Immortal School's tabloids, the happier they would be. The next day, the news would focus on this matter, using all kinds of hints to prove that the information in the tabloids was true.
Over time, everyone stopped paying attention to it. However, after the mysterious Deviant Immortal School appeared, to a certain extent, it could not be said that they were barefoot. It could be said that they were wearing a pair of straw sandals …
After many times of manipulating the Rong Spirit School, the people of the Rong Spirit School came looking for them!
The Rong Spirit School was not simple. They were famous students of the Rong Spirit School, second only to the first seat. There were hundreds of students following behind them!
Their arrival attracted the attention of passersby, especially the anger among these people. After they stepped into the Deviant Immortal School's White Tower, the atmosphere became even more tense!
The disciples of the Deviant Immortal School's White Tower also put down what they were doing and looked at the group of angry Rong Spirit School disciples!
"Deviant Immortal School, you've gone a little too far."
"As a peak sect in the past, it's fine if it has declined now. How can you be so shameless and fabricate nonsense for the sake of gimmick, especially your late-night tabloid?"
"Today!
Your Deviant Immortal School must give us an explanation. "
The leader of the Rong Spirit School said angrily, his eyes bloodshot!
As soon as he said that, the disciples of the Deviant Immortal School in the White Tower turned their heads to look at Xu Qing and the other three in the corner!
Xu Qing's heart was calm. His gaze swept across these people, but the three core disciples beside him instinctively took a few steps back, feeling a little guilty!
The late-night tabloid was a project that they took advantage of the popularity of the Deviant Immortal School a month ago, and it brought them a considerable amount of income.
Therefore, the content that was integrated into it was bolder and more explicit, and the response was very good …
Seeing this, the sect master who was sitting there was also annoyed, so he glared fiercely at Xu Qing and the other three. He then turned his head to look at the angry Rong Spirit School student and snorted!
"Noisy." As soon as he said that, the Rong Spirit School students lowered their heads.
After all, he was the sect master, and according to the rules, they had to respect him!
But after lowering their heads, the Rong Spirit School student who was manipulated still spoke!
"Our Rong Spirit School is not the only Deviant Immortal School that has been manipulated over the years!
In the entire Imperial College, all the famous schools have been manipulated!
Which of the famous students have not been spread rumors by you?! "
"Such shameless behavior is detrimental to the dignity of the Deviant Immortal School. I think that after the mysterious senior of the Deviant Immortal School hears about this, he will also feel that the Deviant Immortal School is despicable."
"Perhaps this is also the reason why that senior has never shown himself. After all, if I were that senior, I would also feel that the current Deviant Immortal School is very shameless and ashamed to be associated with them."
"Because the current Deviant Immortal School has not only lost its former glory, but also its dignity and the clear heart of the Imperial College. It has become an anomaly of the Imperial College, a disgrace!"
"So today, I hope that the Deviant Immortal School will give an explanation."
This student's words were very loud, and after he finished speaking, the other students behind him also said the same thing, and their voices spread outside the White Tower, causing many passersby students to stop and discuss!
Everyone from the Deviant Immortal School had thoughts in their hearts. Xu Qing seemed to be deep in thought, and he realized that the reason behind this matter might not be so simple!
Someone wanted to use this opportunity to test the Deviant Immortal School, and then completely trample on the Deviant Immortal School that was about to return to normal!
The mysterious woman dressed as a student at the side also became alert!
She thought that this was an opportunity to test the Deviant Immortal School, so she paid close attention to the Sect Master.
The Sect Master's eyes narrowed. Naturally, he could tell that something was amiss. Thus, he leaned forward slightly and sized them up carefully. After giving some instructions to the students of the Deviant Immortal Sect, he said calmly, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
"Asking the Deviant Immortal School to conduct an investigation in the tower." The Harmony God student looked into the eyes of the Deviant Immortal School's Sect Master as he spoke word by word!
These eight words reverberated within the White Tower, and they also spread outside!
"Ridiculous!" The Sect Master coldly laughed and stood up. His gaze swept past the Harmony God student, and then he looked outside!
"You all came here just to test the Deviant Immortal School's senior. Since you want to know, just ask directly. There's no need to find so many excuses!"
"The reason why the Deviant Immortal School's senior hasn't appeared again is because he is currently in seclusion trying to break through the barrier of one million soul strands."
"Before he went into seclusion, he told me that he would come out in at most three months, and on the day he comes out, the one million soul strands will form the image of the Deviant Immortal in the sky of the Imperial Capital, and a million rays of light will prove that the Deviant Immortal School has returned to its peak."
"Now, there are only two months left. Whether it's true or not, you will see with your own eyes in two months. Now, leave the Deviant Immortal School."
The Sect Master's voice was filled with determination and arrogance. Immediately, the Deviant Immortal School's White Tower rumbled and emitted a repulsive force, forcing the Harmony God School's students to retreat and leave the White Tower.
After doing all this, the Sect Master raised his head and sat down again!
He seemed calm, but his heart was filled with helplessness!
He could feel that the Deviant Immortal School's opportunity to rise was right in front of him, but if that senior didn't appear, everything would be useless!
Since that was the case, he could only brace himself and boast to create momentum!
As for the consequences of his boasting, he didn't care. The Deviant Immortal School was already like this, so if it broke, then so be it!
Once he spoke, the hearts of the Deviant Immortal School's students in the White Tower surged, and the mysterious woman's eyes lit up!
As for the Harmony God School's students who were pushed out of the White Tower, their eyes also lit up, and most of the passersby in the outside world were the same!
Xu Qing also looked at the Sect Master a few more times, and then looked at the one million soul strands in his mind. Hesitation rose in his heart. He instinctively felt that the Sect Master shouldn't have seen through his identity!
However, his words were very realistic!
In the end, the Harmony God School's students looked at each other and chose to leave. This time, their probing had yielded results.
And the news of the Deviant Immortal School's Great Success senior coming out of seclusion in two months quickly spread throughout the Imperial College. All of this caused the Deviant Immortal School's popularity, which was about to dissipate, to gather again.
That evening, before Xu Qing left the Deviant Immortal School, he bade farewell to the Sect Master. Seeing the Sect Master's anxious eyes and the impatient gesture of waving his hand, Xu Qing confirmed that the Sect Master indeed hadn't seen through his identity.
'Then … perhaps I can give my Soul Seed a try.' Xu Qing muttered to himself.
Thus, seven days later, when the other core disciples were leaving, an unfamiliar student who had been entrusted with a task delivered a sealed bag to the Deviant Immortal School's White Tower and placed it in front of the Sect Master.
The Deviant Immortal School's Sect Master didn't hesitate or ask any questions. He seemed to have sensed something, as if he was waiting to pick up the bag and instantly open it!
Inside the bag was a jade slip and a pill bottle containing purple snowflakes!
Looking at these two items, the Sect Master's breathing quickened. He didn't know what those snowflakes were, but he could feel the Deviant Immortal School's waves emanating from them. Thus, he excitedly grabbed the jade slip and examined it with rapt attention.
A moment later, his expression changed continuously. In the end, he put down the jade slip and looked at the pill bottle!
After a long time … his eyes revealed determination!
He crushed the pill bottle!
After the purple snowflakes flowed out, they imprinted themselves on his palm and fused into his flesh and blood. The soul strands in his body instantly boiled!
