2698 Quasi-Emperor! With the secret skill, the Nine Duns of Qimen, the Sect Master of the Academy’s aura became extremely complicated. The Sect Master of the Academy charged towards the gray-haired old man in midair. Before he arrived, the old man could not hold on any longer and his aura was completely suppressed. Old Xuan leaped up and released his perfected Grotto-heaven. He stood beside the gray-haired old man, prepared to fight the Sect Master of the Academy. When he saw that, the Sect Master of the Academy smiled gently. “This is convenient. I can show you my methods!” A gigantic Grotto-heaven was released behind the Sect Master of the Academy as well. In his Grotto-heaven, it was as though there were vast stars surging, a rumbling mortal realm and everything else in the world… This Grotto-heaven was all-encompassing! What was even more terrifying was that the Grotto-heaven of the Sect Master of the Academy emitted a shuddering power, as though it was suppressing everything! “Your Grotto-heaven…” Old Xuan looked at the perfected Grotto-heaven behind the Sect Master of the Academy and his pupils constricted as a chill ran down his spine! “Can you feel it?” The Sect Master of the Academy chuckled. “You’ve already become a quasi-Emperor!” Old Xuan exclaimed. The Grotto-heaven of the Sect Master of the Academy contained a trace of world power. Although it was only a single trace, the difference was immeasurable and there was an insurmountable gap between their Grotto-heavens! Su Zimo’s expression was dark and his aura became weaker. When he heard what Old Xuan said, he was enlightened. It was no wonder why the Martial Dao Prime Body sensed a trace of the aura of an Emperor when Immortal King Long Night died. Su Zimo sighed internally. The power of the Sect Master of the Academy had far exceeded his imagination. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 Up till this point of the chess game, everything and variables were within the control of the Sect Master of the Academy. The Sect Master of the Academy even calculated that the previous Sect Master might have left some methods to deal with him. That was the reason why he laid low for so many years and did not attack Old Xuan. Old Xuan was severely injured previously and had yet to recover. Even with the trump card left behind by the previous Sect Master, he could not defend against the Sect Master of the Academy who was a quasi-Emperor! The Sect Master of the Academy had planned this chess game for so many years and had finally reached the final step. When the time comes, the Sect Master of the Academy would not only be able to obtain the Green Lotus flesh. He would also be able to obtain two complete Taboo Mystic Classics, the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra, get rid of Old Xuan and gain complete control of Heaven and Earth Academy… The web of the Sect Master of the Academy’s scheme was way too big! He was the only one who could swallow so many things in one go! Even with his precise manipulations, divinations and calculations, the Sect Master of the Academy still had a trump card—his quasi-Emperor strength! That move alone was enough to kill too many variables! Everyone was his chess piece. How could they win this game? Boom! Old Xuan’s perfected Grotto-heaven collided with the Grotto-heaven of the Sect Master of the Academy with a loud bang. Almost instantly, cracks appeared on Old Xuan’s perfected Grotto-heaven and it could collapse at any moment! His perfected Grotto-heaven had once been shattered on the spot by a single look from the tomb keeper and he was severely injured. Until now, his injuries had yet to recover. Right now, against a perfected Grotto-heaven that contained a trace of world power, Old Xuan could no longer hold on. His expression changed starkly and he spat out a mouthful of blood! The gray-haired old man he summoned moved and stood in front of the Sect Master of the Academy. “You won’t be able to defend against me!” The Sect Master of the Academy snorted coldly. “Open Door, Rest Door, Life Door, Injury Door, Delusion Door, Scenery Door, Death Door, Fear Door.” “Eight Doors, open!” The Sect Master of the Academy’s gaze intensified as he released another secret skill. Suddenly, gigantic doors appeared in his Grotto-heaven and emitted a terrifying power, increasing the might of his Grotto-heaven! This was the Eight Doors of Qimen Dunjia! Under normal circumstances, if the Sect Master of the Academy was only at the perfected Grotto-heaven realm, the previous Sect Master summoned by the painting would be enough to suppress him. However, the Sect Master of the Academy had planned everything. Old Xuan realized that the Sect Master of the Academy had already grown to a point where he was no match for the latter. Right now, he could only choose to escape! The moment the gray-haired old man fought against the Sect Master of the Academy, Old Xuan made use of the remnant aftershock released by the two of them and arrived beside Su Zimo in a flash. “Go!” Old Xuan hollered and pulled Su Zimo’s arm, tearing through the void casually, prepared to flee into a spatial tunnel and escape. Old Xuan could tell that Su Zimo was at death’s door and did not have much time left. However, regardless whether Su Zimo could survive, he had to leave with the latter no matter what. Even if Su Zimo died, he could not leave the Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus to the Sect Master of the Academy! A mocking look flashed through the depths of the Sect Master of the Academy’s eyes as he looked at the two of them fleeing in panic and chased after them unhurriedly. At the same time, in the skies above the Battle Kingdom. The battle between King Yun You and the five other Immortal King experts against Lin Zhan and Immortal Queen Ling Long was still ongoing. Both sides had already summoned their Grotto-heavens and it was difficult to determine an outcome right away. Immortal Queen Ling Long suddenly felt that something was amiss. The Sect Master of the Academy opposite her seemed to be much weaker than she had imagined! Under normal circumstances, apart from receiving the legacy of the academy, the Sect Master of the Academy also cultivated Qimen Dunjia of the Technique Reserve. Qimen Dunjia did not only contain divination techniques, but also extremely powerful combat Dharmic formulations. From the beginning to the end, the Sect Master of the Academy had never released anything. On the contrary, up till this point of the battle, the Sect Master of the Academy had been dodging and intentionally avoiding the battle, as though he was hiding something. Immortal Queen Ling Long stared fixedly at the Sect Master of the Academy. Under her gaze, the Sect Master of the Academy seemed to feel guilty and avoided her gaze. ‘He’s not the Sect Master of the Academy!’ Immortal Queen Ling Long made a judgment immediately. The Sect Master of the Academy was extremely wise and his temperament was extremely strong. With his unshakable Dao Heart, how could he possibly dodge when met with the gaze of another person? If the person before them was not the Sect Master of the Academy, where was the real Sect Master of the Academy? “This is bad!” Immortal Queen Ling Long was shocked. Under normal circumstances, she had already erased the traces left behind by Su Zimo and would not be discovered. However, her opponent was the Sect Master of the Academy after all. The only possibility Immortal Queen Ling Long could think of was that the true Sect Master of the Academy had already gone after Su Zimo! In reality, Immortal Queen Ling Long’s guess was indeed not bad. However, her guess, reaction and even her subsequent actions were within the expectations of the Sect Master of the Academy. “Zimo is in danger!” Immortal Queen Ling Long sent a voice transmission to Lin Zhan’s spirit consciousness. “You go and save him. I’ll hold them back!” Lin Zhan sent a voice transmission, “If you can’t defeat the enemies, don’t get entangled with them. Bring Zimo back here and I’ll protect him even if I have to risk my life!” Immortal Queen Ling Long hesitated for a moment before making a decision. Her figure flashed and she instantly withdrew from the battlefield, escaping far away.
