159: Exciting news

Meanwhile, in the Emperor of Meteor Empire, a ten-mile red carpet had been laid out, and firecrackers were set up along the streets.

“What’s going on?”

“Does the Empire have some great joyous event?”

“Brother, given the current situation, how could there be any great joyous event? It’s good enough if no one dies.”

“I heard that several groups of people were executed at the Meridian Gate two days ago, and I don’t know what the situation is now.”

“If it’s not a joyous event, why would they even lay out a ten-mile red carpet?”

“There’s definitely something going on. Does anyone have inside information they can reveal in advance?”

Everyone looked at the distant red carpet, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Unfortunately, aside from Su Bai, Jiang Lin, and Meteor Emperor, no one else knew about the alliance with the other academies.

“Open the main gate!”

“Open the main gate!”

“Open the main gate!”

Just then, sharp shouts rang out one after another, drawing cheers from the crowd.

“The main gate, oh my goodness, they’re actually opening the main gate! Is an important guest visiting?”

“I remember the last time the main gate was opened was when the Lord of White Bear Empire came to visit us.”

“That’s right, the main gate is usually never opened. What day is it today?”

“There must be reinforcements. It seems our Emperor has a backup plan, so we don’t need to worry at all.”

“Indeed, who says otherwise? Hurry and see, who is it?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the red carpet, their eyes filled with excitement.

They had spent these past ten days in deep distress.

Suddenly, dense figures appeared on the street, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

These people wore white clothing with the words “Element” carved on their chests.

Leading them was an Old Man with a youthful face and white hair. He walked directly onto the red carpet, leading the group towards the palace.

Behind this group was another group.

They wore red clothing, looking exceptionally festive, with the words “Flame” carved on them.

………

A total of ten groups all appeared on the red carpet, walking along it towards the main gate.

“Who are these people? I’ve never seen them before.”

“I think I remember now. They are all the top academies on the continent, not belonging to any country, independent of any country.”

“Yes, yes, I remember now, Element Academy seems to be the number one academy on the continent. A relative of mine is studying there.”

“But can these academies be as strong as an Empire?”

“It’s hard to say, but their high-level strength shouldn’t be particularly weak. At the very least, they should be comparable to a small Empire.”

“Then does that mean we really have backup?”

Everyone spoke softly, their faces showing a hint of excitement.

The people from the ten major academies had already entered the palace. They cupped their hands towards Meteor Emperor, who was seated in the main position.

“This Emperor has prepared a banquet for you all. Please take your seats.”

Meteor Emperor naturally couldn’t lose face. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for everyone to be seated.

A dazzling light shot up into the sky, spreading in all directions.

“Urgent Notification: Meteor Empire and Element Academy have formed an alliance. Both shall advance and retreat together, vowing to never regret it until death. Element Academy brings 35,000 students and hundreds of high-level powerhouses to join Meteor Empire. The Dean of Element Academy is a demigod-level powerhouse.”

Every professional in Meteor Empire received such a notification.

At this time, Meteor Empire had completely sealed off outside contact. Even spies sent by hostile nations could no longer transmit messages out.

“Urgent Notification: Meteor Empire and Flame Academy have formed an alliance. Both shall advance and retreat together, vowing to never regret it until death. Flame Academy brings 15,000 students and nearly a hundred high-level powerhouses to join Meteor Empire.”

“Urgent Notification: Meteor Empire and Ice Academy have formed an alliance. Both shall advance and retreat together, vowing to never regret it until death. Ice Academy brings 15,000 students and nearly a hundred high-level powerhouses to join Meteor Empire.”

……

The cold notification sounds rang in everyone’s ears, making it hard for every person in Meteor Empire to close their mouths.

“This is great, it’s absolutely wonderful, we finally have backup.”

“Who says otherwise? We are not fighting alone; we have our own backup.”

“Just let those Empires see.”

Everyone spoke, their faces showing a hint of excitement.

“You can rest assured now, right?”

Su Bai looked at the Old Man Jiang Lin beside him and said.

“I’m relieved, I’m relieved. It still has to be you, kid. You really give me surprises.”

“If it weren’t for you, kid, I’m afraid we would still be struggling for some time.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression flashing across his face.

Everything had settled.

“You were scolding him so much back then?”

“This time, go to the palace and have a few drinks with him.”

Hearing this, Su Bai couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Ever since the Old Man learned of this news, his beard had been trimmed, and his spirits had greatly improved.

“Alright, alright, aren’t you going?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lin quickly asked.

“I’m not going, I still have things to do. You go busy yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai turned and walked towards the small restaurant next door.

At this moment, Mu Yan, Ye Ling’er, and Sun Kai were sitting there, staring eagerly at the entrance.

“Why are you so slow?”

“I’ve been waiting for you for ages, I’m almost starving.”

Sun Kai rubbed his stomach, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

“Eat less. Look at you, you’re almost as fat as a ball.”

“Eat less rice, eat less meat, and eat more vegetables.”

Su Bai couldn’t help but roll his eyes at this guy.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m a professional; I’m not afraid of high cholesterol or high blood pressure.”

“I also have a girlfriend; we’re getting married soon.”

“After this National War ends, we’ll get married.”

Sun Kai turned to look at Ye Ling’er beside him and said softly.

“That truly is a century of harmony!”

“For the wedding you two are about to have, let’s have a toast.”

Su Bai raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

“Cheers!”
