Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Battle is Imminent!

After returning to Shu City, Lin Yi immediately made the scandal of the Martial Arts Academy using living people for drug trials and harming innocents public.

Once the news spread, it caused an earthquake-like uproar throughout the entire Longshan Empire.

The Martial Arts Academy was the leading power in the Longshan Empire and held enormous influence there. Now that such a scandal had erupted involving the academy, one could imagine the severe blow it dealt to its image.

In an instant, a wave of verbal attack and criticism targeted at the Martial Arts Academy surged across the entire Longshan Empire!

With the push of major families across the Longshan Empire, the denunciation of the Martial Arts Academy rose wave after wave, virtually sweeping across the whole empire.

Golden Dragon Mountain was a majestic mountain located in the northern part of the Longshan Empire.

Here lay the Martial Arts Academy of the Longshan Empire.

A group of top officials from the Martial Arts Academy of the Longshan Empire were gathered in the grand council hall.

Institute Master Nangong Bo sat at the main seat, his face ashen.

Blood Cloud Cave had always been the greatest secret of the Longshan Empire Martial Arts Academy, and now it had been exposed. Not only that, but the Medicine Men were still alive!

These Medicine Men were undoubtedly living proof!

Caught in the act, their academy could not deny involvement!

"Waste!"

Nangong Bo looked down at Master Xuan Long with a displeased face and said sternly, "I sent you to oversee the Blood Cloud Cave, yet you managed to turn it into such a mess. What use are you?"

Master Xuan Long had a look of grievance and said, "Institute Master, this was premeditated by the Lu Family. They had their eyes on the Blood Cloud Cave long ago. It just so happened that they made their move during my tenure!"

"This incident really has nothing to do with me!"

The mishap at the Blood Cloud Cave had occurred despite his best efforts. No matter who had been in charge, the outcome would have likely been the same.

"Still making excuses!"

With a wave of his hand, Nangong Bo commanded, "Take Master Xuan Long away. Punish him for multiple offenses, strip him of his elder’s position, and make him face the wall in penance for a year!"

Two Martial Arts Academy stewards immediately stepped forward and dragged Master Xuan Long away.

Master Xuan Long shouted about his innocence, but Nangong Bo seemed as if he hadn’t heard him. He knew Master Xuan Long was wronged, but someone had to be punished for such a significant incident!

Master Xuan Long was the primary target!

After dealing with Master Xuan Long, a Martial Arts Academy Elder stepped forward and bowed to Nangong Bo, saying, "Institute Master, the matter of Blood Cloud Cave is now widely known everywhere. We must respond quickly, or else it will be very detrimental to us.

Nangong Bo nodded, "Immediately mobilize our academy’s intelligence network to refute the rumor! Claim that it was slander by those with ulterior motives and that all those Medicine Men are fake!"

"Moreover, send masters to Shu City immediately, at any cost, to destroy the evidence!"

A sharp and cold light suddenly flashed in Nangong Bo’s eyes.

"Yes!!"

...

Shu City.

Xu Mansion.

After two days of recuperation, Lu Li’s wounds had largely healed.

Apart from Lu Tianyu and Xu Yi, the two True Man Realm powerhouses stationed in Xu Residence, other family heads from various major families of the Longshan Empire were also en route!

Understanding the Martial Arts Academy of the Longshan Empire, they knew the academy would spare no cost to send masters to Shu City to destroy the evidence once they learned that the Medicine Men from Blood Cloud Cave were in Shu City.

Thus, Shu City would be the battleground for the decisive fight against the Martial Arts Academy of the Longshan Empire!

The army of Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy was about to arrive, and they also had to make preparations quickly, gathering all their experts; otherwise, once the Martial Arts Academy succeeded, all their previous efforts would have been in vain!

While all the major families of Dragon Mountain Empire were busy mobilizing troops and generals, Lin Yi was also making preparations for the impending battle.

Lin Yi went to Wangyue Building to purchase large quantities of Array Materials in advance, allowing Little Jin to set up a Fourth-stage Array Formation at their residence to ensure the safety of Lin Ning and Lu Li.

After all, their opponent in this battle was the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy, and nobody knew what the final outcome of this battle would be.

It was essential to ensure Lin Ning’s safety.

"Lin Yi, I might not be able to participate in this big battle, so it’s all up to you now," said Lu Li, his hands still wrapped in bandages.

"Just stay here and help me protect my sister!" Lin Yi responded noncommittally.

Although Lu Li was injured, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse; ordinary experts at the Grandmaster Realm posed no threat to Lu Li.

With him protecting Lin Ning, Lin Yi was reassured!

Just then, outside Shu City, a sudden "thunderous" noise came rolling in.

The noise was deafening.

Lin Yi’s gaze immediately followed the sound, only to see a massive flying battleship approaching Shu City from the sky!

The flying battleship was hundreds of yards long and dozens of yards wide, resembling an ancient giant beast looming over Shu City, blocking out the sun.

On the flying battleship, there were densely packed figures, possibly totaling thousands!

"It’s a Puppet Battleship."

Looking at the flying battleship appearing over Shu City, Lu Li’s face suddenly showed a grave expression, "In the entire Longshan Empire, there are only two Puppet Battleships, one in the Imperial Palace, and the other in the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Is the Martial Arts Academy daring to make such a grand appearance?" Lin Yi expressed surprise in his eyes. He had thought that the Martial Arts Academy would most likely opt for a night raid, stealthily, but he hadn’t expected them to make such a high-profile arrival!

Could they not be afraid of being discovered?

"The Martial Arts Academy dispatching the Puppet Battleship so brazenly can only mean one thing," Lu Li’s expression gradually turned solemn, "that is...massacre!"

"Massacre?" Lin Yi’s complexion changed, and he then looked at the Puppet Battleship filled with horror. He had still underestimated the ruthlessness of the Martial Arts Academy. With Shu City having a population of over a million, was the Martial Arts Academy truly planning to slaughter them all?

To use such a brutal method to utterly destroy the evidence?

"With so many people in Shu City, can the Martial Arts Academy really slaughter them all?" Lu Li shook his head, saying, "Common people are no different from ants in front of an army of Martial Artists."

"And what about the Martial Arts Academy, being the biggest power in Dragon Mountain Empire?" Sure enough, just as Lu Li finished speaking, there was already activity on the Puppet Battleship!

From the Puppet Battleship, countless Array Flags flew out, shooting towards various locations in Shu City!

As the Array Flags landed within Shu City, they each exploded into astonishing columns of light, ultimately creating an astounding light screen that enveloped the entire Shu City!

The Martial Arts Academy had actually sealed off the entire Shu City with an Array Formation!

Beside him, Little Jin, with a glint in his eyes, said, "The Array Formation used by the Martial Arts Academy to seal the city seems massive, but it’s actually just a Third-level Array Formation."

However, Lin Yi was well aware that even a Third-level Array Formation was enough to seal off most of the people in the city.
