After staying in the room for three full days, Xu Wencai put away his contracted beast and left the house, walking into the courtyard to listen to the young maids report on the visitors and Elder Xu's messages these days.

Mu Yuanshan had left Heishui City on the very night of his return, rallying a group of city guards to rush to the Imperial Capital for reinforcements, taking with him more than a dozen elders and numerous strong members of the clan.

As for the remaining elders and stewards, there was no need to visit them one by one; they probably wouldn't be so tactless as to hang around him, disturbing his cultivation.

Xu Wen silently sipped the hot tea in his cup, thinking to himself.

With the clan leader and Elder Xu away, only a few stewards of the clan remained outside the mansion, allowing him to have a stretch of peaceful days... Not bad!

Xu Wen rewarded the little maid with a gold coin and rose to leave the courtyard.

"Xu Shao."

Not long after, two demonic beasts came running over, carrying two people on their backs, with cultivation levels one star higher than his.

"The clan leader instructed that during his absence from the clan, Xu Shao, you have any instructions; you can dispatch us as you like."

With a respectful appearance, but they knew the background of the young man in front of them. The clan leader giving this order, the other might not dare to order them, mostly some magical and cultivation teachings.

Xu Wen was just right, no nonsense, and assigned each of the two a mission—they were to go to the clan to withdraw some medicinal herbs that ordinary stores couldn't buy; at the same time, take some magic cores from one star to three stars, regardless of attribute... After saying that, seeing the two stewards' eyes a bit stunned, he added:

"The more the better, go."

The two finally came to their senses; Xu Wen was indeed 'ordering' them. They opened their mouths in astonishment, but turned around to handle the tasks.

They naturally didn't know that Xu Wen was no longer the junior fire mage from when he first entered the Huo Dunke Lin family. In Mus City, he could even dispatch seven-star powerhouses, commanding them with 'huh' and 'drink'. The two five-star stewards of the clan had nothing to be afraid of being dispatched?

Since materials were being prepared with help, it saved Xu Wen some trouble.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xu Wen walked towards Slan Academy...

The dean of Qingyun Academy, 'Kezef', issued instructions on his way back to the Imperial Capital: all students of Qingyun Academy immediately return to their respective towns or stay at any academy within the Qingyun Empire, cultivating on their own to avoid delaying their cultivation progress and wasting the best cultivation time.

At the same time, all academies not only must not refuse Qingyun Academy students for any reason, but must also provide the best cultivation environment.

Now, for Xu Wen, returning to Heishui Mountain Range to cultivate was somewhat inconvenient, finding a separate cultivation room at the nearby Slan Academy was not bad!

On one hand, he could find a quiet and well-equipped cultivation environment and conveniently observe how ordinary academy students cultivate.

Second, it also saves the trouble of always coming and going back and forth. Although Xu Wen more wanted to go into the Heishui Mountain Range, the clan elders would not be at ease letting him enter alone.

The only thing that was a bit troublesome was...

He really had no documents proving he was a student of Qingyun Academy.

Of course, this was not a problem.

The Slan Academy gates were very loose; when Xu Wen entered the campus, the students on the school roads were almost all talking about the same issue—the Imperial Capital!

The Dark Empire invaded the Qingyun Empire, incited two major families, and besieged the Qingyun Imperial Capital in a large scale, slaughtering civilians. After this incident, the Qingyun Empire would definitely officially declare war on the Dark Empire, meaning the long-term peaceful prosperous era had ended, and the opportunity to achieve great things and establish a legacy was imminent...

When Xu Wen passed by the three students, he heard their passionate words, almost unable to hold back the cold smile in his heart.

"Achieve great things and establish a legacy?"

In ancient and modern times, no matter in which world!

On the battlefield, those who achieve merits and establish a legacy are always only a very small number of lucky ones; the vast majority of people die silently and unknown on the battlefield. Facing the Dark Empire, they might not even know where their bones end up.

Choosing this path, it would be better to focus on cultivation!

"You... come here to look for someone?"

In front of a building that looked like a lecture hall, Xu Wen was finally stopped. The other looked at the family crest on Xu Wen's chest and asked with doubt.

"I want to find an independent cultivation room to cultivate here; please trouble the teacher to arrange it."

"You are..."

The teacher strangely looked him up and down, not immediately understanding the meaning of his words, and why a member of the Huo Dunke Lin family would come to Slan Academy to seek an independent cultivation room.

Xu Wen was too lazy to waste words with him, raised his hand, and a one-foot high flame rapidly turned into deep blue, staring levelly at the other person's eyes revealing shock:

"I am a Qingyun Academy student, Halman Dean's disciple, I want to apply for a quiet independent cultivation room."

...

The teacher who stopped Xu Wen almost disappeared at light speed and then reappeared at light speed!

The entire Slan Academy was in an uproar!

More than thirty teachers quickly cleared out an entire row of cultivation rooms, leaving two teachers to guard the gate, and all other students were sent to cultivation rooms farther away, leaving Xu Wen alone to dominate.

Xu Wen had already anticipated that the process would be exceptionally smooth, but he still underestimated the weight of the identity of Halman Dean's disciple! Underestimated Halman Dean's status in the hearts of the various academies!

The huge cultivation room he was in now was spacious and bright, not inferior to the underground cultivation room under the dean's tower. Although the solidity of the enchanted test stone was one level lower, for the current Xu Wen, the complete settings inside were no less than a presidential suite.

Compared to the cultivation rooms of the Huo Dunke Lin family, Xu Wen was more accustomed to this 'presidential suite' of Slan Academy; it seemed that only the dean and vice-dean had the qualifications to use it.

After sending someone to convey the message that he would stay at Slan Academy to cultivate back to the residence, Xu Wen called out his little black and little tiger.

There was more than one test stone in the cultivation room; perfect, the two little guys split the two smaller ones in the corner, learned it easily, and proceeded in an orderly manner to work hard for 'delicious pet food'!

Xu Wen also went all out, testing all the magics one by one, and when the two Huo Dunke Lin family stewards brought what he needed, he immediately started formal full-power cultivation!

Time passed day by day...

Soon, almost all students of Slan Academy knew the news—the personal disciple of the deputy dean of Qingyun Academy, Halman, was closed-door cultivation in the high-level cultivation room that their dean usually used.

Although curious, no one could approach them! Including the talented girl 'Aileen' who had also returned from Qingyun Academy and was curious beyond words.

Until ten days later, when the situation in the Imperial Capital changed!

A message that everyone had not anticipated spread from the Imperial Capital throughout the entire empire...

Two magi from the Dark Empire led over a hundred death mages, leaving countless undead, all suddenly disappeared from within Qingyun City!

The emperor issued an imperial decree:

Given the Dark Empire's heinous crimes that are detested by both gods and men, they will jointly sanction the Dark Empire with the Crimson Alliance!

Before that, the war techniques exchange between the two countries' higher academies will be restored.
