Chapter 1035: Chapter 1031: One Tower, Two Academies, Three Valleys, Four Clans

In fact, the so-called minor issue Chen Zhenfang mentioned could by no means be considered a minor issue under any circumstances.

The matter starts from Bai Xiaoxuan’s fight in the arena. Ever since she made her mark in that fight, the news naturally spread. As the saying goes, nothing stays under wraps, and if you want nobody to know, you must not do it.

Moreover, being such a talented disciple, if Bai Xiaoxuan had chosen to act low-key and silent, it would be one thing; however, she decisively ”eliminated” the elite disciple standout Sun Miaohan with one move, attracting attention was unavoidable!

For Sun Miaohan, Wind Blade Valley and Profound Spirit Valley are both quite familiar with her.

Regarding Wind Blade Valley, there’s no need to elaborate—after the incident with Tao Zhenghao, the entire Wind Blade Valley was nearly ordered to never mention that name or even a single word related to it, truly causing significant trouble for many people.

Although Profound Spirit Valley holds hostility towards Sun Miaohan, they think her actions are bizarre and difficult to understand and accept. Overall, she is considered a complete eccentric, often making astounding remarks and behaving unpredictably!

However, despite differing opinions on Sun Miaohan, both factions had to admit that Sun Miaohan herself is indeed a person of substantial strength and extraordinary intelligence. Often finding new paths from unexpected angles, this talent cannot knowingly be dismissed regardless!

And so the question arises, how could a young girl just over ten years old exhibit talent no less than the elites among the disciples? Once she grows up, what achievements might she reach?

One must remember that a gap of one or two years can decide many things, and how many years apart are Sun Miaohan and Bai Xiaoxuan?

Not to mention the differences in entry-level timing, just looking at their ages, there is a ten-year gap. Such a dazzling new star in one’s own sect would be an immense joy; however, appearing in another sect represents an unignorable threat, directly influencing future arrangements and development.

First, they rapidly improved their disciples’ cultivation, and now a dark horse, Bai Xiaoxuan, blinds everyone with brilliance. Heartbreak Valley’s actions have left Wind Blade Valley and Profound Spirit Valley somewhat baffled.

Especially regarding Bai Xiaoxuan, the two factions feel a sense of incomprehension.

Typically, acquiring such a genius disciple means hiding her away, waiting for the perfect moment to astound everyone.

Yet Xu Ming brought her to the limelight so early, leaving the intention highly intriguing...

However, it’s not just Profound Spirit Valley and Wind Blade Valley that felt the tremors, even higher-level factions sensed something unusual and sent people to contact Wind Blade Valley to inquire about the situation.

Of course, calling it inquiry is transparent; even a fool could see this as unequivocally backing Wind Blade Valley, simultaneously warning Heartbreak Valley, thereby showcasing their transcendent status!

This is precisely the issue now troubling Heartbreak Valley’s senior management.

...

After a long silent standstill among the elders, Xu Ming finally couldn’t bear it and attempted to mediate, ”Senior Sister, please calm down. All sisters are concerned, let’s calm down and sit to discuss a good strategy.”

Chen Zhenfang snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor objecting, still appearing somewhat displeased.

Xu Ming shook his head, signaling everyone to sit, slightly alleviating the awkward atmosphere.

Once everyone was seated, Xu Ming cleared his throat, speaking seriously, ”I need not explain the current situation; all senior sisters should be fully aware. One of the two academies has blatantly chosen to side with Wind Blade Valley. What are your views on this? I hope all sisters can speak freely!”

The ”two academies” Xu Ming referred to are higher powers than Wind Blade Valley, Profound Spirit Valley, and her own Heartbreak Valley, respectively being Nanru Academy and Beiwu Academy.

The major distinction between the two academies is that Nanru Academy focuses more on True Qi application and technique research, valuing physical training less.

In contrast, Beiwu Academy places great emphasis on physical training but does not prioritize True Qi application as much. The two have often debated which should take precedence, physical or True Qi.

The outcome, naturally, is that both advocate their views, unable to convince one another, engaging in countless confrontations both overt and covert, winning and losing equally without determining superiority!

Furthermore, above them is the Celestial Tower, superior to the two academies and three valleys.

Structurally, it forms a pyramid of power divisions: one tower, two academies, three valleys, four families.

Of course, secluded sects or exceptional individuals should not be underestimated, but they are not part of the mainstream, with little daily interaction or conflict.

Now, the academy Xu Ming mentioned as supporting Wind Blade Valley is Beiwu Academy, while Nanru Academy remains silent as if awaiting something, not showing any inclination.

...

Before long, a woman sitting next to Xu Ming furrowed her brows and spoke, ”Since nobody wishes to speak first, I’ll share my thoughts. If there are any omissions, please forgive me!”

As soon as she finished speaking and was about to continue, Chen Zhenfang frowned again and sternly said, ”What forgive? Speak straight to the point wherever something is wrong!”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s furrow deepened, replying seriously, ”Senior Sister is right. If anywhere I’ve said is incorrect, fellow sisters should point it out.”

From Chen Zhenfang’s previous attitude, it’s clear the support from Beiwu Academy for Wind Blade Valley isn’t a ”small matter” as just mentioned, but something taken with the utmost seriousness, making everyone too cautious to dismiss or overlook it, and grabbing all attention to the discussion.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Chen Zhenfang nodded secretly. Without a bit of pressure, today’s discussion would likely become an empty talk yielding no useful results.

But now it’s different. By stirring pressure, many troubles will naturally be avoided, and efficiency would more than double.

”Beiwu Academy siding with Wind Blade Valley is obviously due to our recent actions, triggering alertness from both academies. Although Nanru Academy hasn’t expressed a stance, it certainly won’t support us.”

The woman’s brief and precise words hit the nail on the head, addressing the core issue and prompting the audience to nod in agreement, while following this train of thought to ponder further.

”Among these, I believe Bai Xiaoxuan occupies a role. If it wasn’t for that arena match a few days ago, Beiwu Academy might not have so impulsively stepped forward.”
