"I never imagined that there was such a behemoth behind it."
"When exactly did the Jixia Academy rise to prominence?"
"Why has even the Sea God never issued a divine oracle to warn us?"
Poseidon was filled with unease.
The power displayed by Jixia Academy has completely exceeded her comprehension.
The aura emanating from each of those prominent figures sent shivers down her spine, even as a peerless Douluo.
Especially that dean.
When the characters "千羽" appear.
Poseidon slammed his scepter on the ground with a sharp, resounding thud.
"What?! Chiyu?!"
Her eyes, which seemed to hold the depths of the ocean, were now filled with intense emotion.
"How could it be him?"
"That Qian Daoliu guy?"
Although Poseidon rarely leaves Poseidon Island, she still knows a fair bit about the situation of her old rival, Sendou Ryu's family.
She remembered that Qian Daoliu had mentioned that he had a junior with a very good personality, but he didn't like cultivation.
"Sendouryu, oh Sendouryu..."
"You've been a fool your whole life."
"You've been treating such a true god as a mortal all along, hiding him in your own home?"
Poseidon Island, in front of the Temple of Poseidon.
The sea breeze howled, whipping up thousands of waves that crashed against the dark reefs.
Poseidon tapped his scepter on the ground with a soft sound.
Her gaze had just left the Heavenly Golden List, and the apprehension she felt about the unknown had not yet dissipated.
Just then, a figure slowly walked up the steps.
That's Seahorse Douluo.
Normally, he was always very respectful and submissive to Poseidon.
But today, he stood ramrod straight, his steps were steady and powerful, and his face carried a solemnity that Poseidon had never seen before.
"High Priest".
Seahorse Douluo stood still and slightly cupped his hands in greeting.
Poseidon looked at him, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Seahorse, what's the matter?"
Seahorse Douluo raised his head and looked directly at this peerless powerhouse who had ruled Seagod Island for many years.
"It's not panic."
"I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."
Poseidon remained calm.
"speak."
Seahorse Douluo took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
"The world has changed dramatically. The Jixia Academy has emerged out of nowhere, and its profound foundation far exceeds our imagination."
"The Haiyue Empire, the Tang Dynasty Empire, the Mo Family City, the Miaoyin Pavilion... any one of these forces would be enough to shake the continent."
"Your subordinate dares to humbly request the High Priest to obey the will of Heaven and lead Seagod Island to submit to Jixia Academy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze.
Poseidon's deep eyes narrowed sharply, and a vast, ocean-like surge of soul power erupted from her body.
She never expected that one of the guardians of the Holy Pillars she trusted most would utter such treasonous words.
"submission?"
Poseidon's voice was calm, yet it contained a raging rage.
"Seahorse, do you know what you're saying?"
"Poseidon Island reveres only the sea god; it has never submitted to any mortal power."
"Do you intend to betray Lord Sea God?"
Faced with Poseidon's questioning, Seahorse Douluo did not back down.
He slowly took out a token from his pocket.
The token was warm and smooth, with an ancient character for "sound" engraved on it, shimmering with a faint glow.
"I have not betrayed you."
"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on."
Poseidon's gaze fell on the token, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Miaoyin Pavilion?"
She recognized the logo.
In the image of the Golden List, the faction to which the peerless woman named Yang Yuhuan belongs is none other than the Myriad Sounds Pavilion.
"Are you from Miaoyin Pavilion?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Poseidon's voice.
Seahorse Douluo spent decades on Seagod Island, but was he actually a spy planted by the Myriad Sounds Pavilion?
Seahorse Douluo nodded, his expression calm.
"Exactly."
"Not just subordinates."
"The future of Poseidon Island lies not in the realm of gods, but in the human world, in the Jixia Academy."
A storm raged within Poseidon's heart.
She suppressed the shock in her heart and gave a cold laugh.
"What a wonderful music hall!"
"They even managed to infiltrate my Holy Pillar Guardian."
"But do you think you alone can sway the will of Poseidon Island?"
What if I disagree?
The scepter slammed heavily on the ground, and the overwhelming pressure of a level 99 peerless Douluo pressed down on Seahorse Douluo.
However, just as this oppressive force was about to descend...
From the shadows on both sides of the main hall, six more figures slowly emerged.
Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo.
All seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island have arrived.
They stood side by side beside Seahorse Douluo, their backs straight, looking directly at Poseidon.
"High Priest, please reconsider and submit to the Jixia Academy!"
The six people spoke in unison, their voices loud and clear, echoing in front of the main hall.
Poseidon's body swayed slightly.
Looking at those familiar faces, she felt that everything before her had become utterly absurd.
"you..."
She pointed at the crowd, her fingers trembling slightly.
"You're also from the Wonderful Sound Pavilion?!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo playfully stuck out her tongue and revealed a similar "Sound" token in her hand.
"High Priest, I'm so sorry."
"But the treatment offered by Miaoyinfang is just too good, and the music there is really beautiful."
Sea Dragon Douluo then said in a deep voice:
"High Priest, those who understand the times are wise."
"We have been lying in wait for this day, not to destroy Poseidon Island."
Poseidon felt a sudden dizziness.
The Seven Sacred Pillars.
The strongest fighting force on Poseidon Island, and the most loyal believers of Poseidon.
The whole team were undercover agents?
Apart from her, the high priestess, the entire Poseidon Island had long since become someone else's backyard.
"Very good! Very good!"
Poseidon laughed in fury, his laughter tinged with a touch of desolation.
"It turns out I was the fool who was kept in the dark."
"Poseidon Island is riddled with holes!"
Seahorse Douluo stepped forward, his tone respectful yet leaving no room for doubt.
"High Priest".
"Lord Li Bai once gave an order that the day the power behind Miaoyin Pavilion is exposed will be the day we launch our plan."
"The strength of Jixia Academy is far superior to that of Seagod Island."
"The Sea God has long since ascended to the divine realm and no longer concerns himself with worldly affairs. Why should the High Priest ruin the future of all the beings on Sea God Island for a mere, illusory divine position?"
At this point, Seahorse Douluo looked up at the name on the Golden List in the Sky.
Dean of Jixia Academy: Qian Yu.
A deep sense of confusion and shock flashed in his eyes.
In fact, although they were members of Miaoyinfang, their knowledge was limited to Miaoyinfang and Li Bai.
They only learned of the name Jixia Academy today.
Not to mention the legendary Dean Qianyu.
"Qianyu..."
Seahorse Douluo murmured softly.
"So our true master is actually this person?"
The other guardians of the sacred pillars looked at each other in bewilderment.
They originally thought that Miaoyinfang was the top level, or some hidden sect.
Who would have thought that the Jixia Academy was located above the Miaoyin Pavilion?
And the master of Jixia Academy is actually the notorious "soft rice king" of the Spirit Hall?
