<h4>Chapter 1635: Chapter 1634 Underground Tremor</h4>


    The Dean nodded, looking at Su Yang, he softly said, "Su Yang, with such determination, I am much more at ease. I can rest assured to leave Qinghe Academy in your hands!"


    "Ah?" Su Yang was stunned. What did the Dean mean by this? He intended to entrust Qinghe Academy to him?


    "Dean, what... what are you nning to do?"


    The Dean walked to the window, speaking in a deep voice, "A couple of days ago, there were some vibrations underground at Qinghe Academy, as if something was trying to emerge. I sent someone to investigate, but they found nothing."


    Su Yang nced at his feet. Qinghe Academy had stood for thousands of years, and the Dean and the others were incredibly powerful masters. Even if something formidable existed underground, it wouldn’t dare to act rashly in front of the Dean and others.


    For the Dean to be this apprehensive, it meant this matter was not simple. But what exactly was happening?


    "In the past few days, simr messages havee from Martial God Altar, Sword Hiding Pavilion, Qianxue Pce, Great Mighty Dragon Gate, Jade Maiden Peak, and even Innate Sect. Their sects’ undergrounds also experienced tremors, yet no clues were found!" the Dean continued.


    "Ah?" Su Yang widened his eyes. For these sects to experience tremors simultaneously, there must be a significant issue.


    "I suspect the ns of the Heavenly Court are rted to these ground vibrations!" the Dean said solemnly, "This time, I did not agree to the Lord of the Heavenly Court’s proposal. Next, the Heavenly Court will certainly deal with us with a thunderous strike. After this, how many people can survive is uncertain. However, we will definitely fight the Heavenly Court to the end. And before that, I need to hand Qinghe Academy over to someone trustworthy!"


    The Dean looked at Su Yang, and without a doubt, his choice was Su Yang.


    Su Yang suddenly felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Dean, I... I don’t have enough strength; it might not be so easy to guard Qinghe Academy?"


    "What does it matter if youck strength, or even if you have it?" the Dean softly said, "What I need is someone with faith and who can be trusted. Your reputation is high, so even if there is great turmoil in the Human World and we’re no longer there, you can still lead many people, and that’s crucial!"


    Su Yang slowly nodded and said solemnly, "If that’s the case, then rest assured, Dean. Unless I die, I will certainly hold Qinghe Academy!"


    The Dean smiled, "I didn’t say you must die; mainly, you must guard the eight Boundary Points. Remember, never let those eight Boundary Points be opened. The passages to the other seven worlds are only sealed, not destroyed. And those seven worlds still have people hidden in the Human World, all trying in every possible way to open these passages and bring their world’s people into the Human World. So, you must be careful. The locations of these eight Boundary Points are very secretive, and few know of them. Even if someone knows they’re at Qinghe Academy, they won’t be able to find them. So, there’s not much for you to do; you just need to lead your people and protect Qinghe Academy."


    "Alright, I understand!" Su Yang nodded.


    The Dean nodded in satisfaction, exhaling softly, "The Heavenly Court has nned for so long, and they’re finally taking action. All this time, I’ve been really curious about what exactly they have been nning?"


    Afterwards, the Dean took Su Yang on a tour of Qinghe Academy, focusing on the situation of the hidden chambers containing the eight stone coffins. These were the positions of the eight Boundary Points, and the Dean mainly exined to Su Yang the method of entering and exiting this secret chamber.


    This chamber is protected by an Array, and outsiders whoe, if they don’t know the location, or the methods of entry and exit, can’t possibly find this chamber. This is also the key to guarding the eight Boundary Points.


    Having done all that, Su Yang left Qinghe Academy and returned to the Shen Familypound.


    In the following days, Su Yang woulde out every few hours to inquire about the outside situation. Yet, days passed, and still, nothing happened outside.


    After Ye Sword Saint left the Human World, everything seemed to have returned to calm, with nothing major happening.


    And during those days, the most significant event was Lv Donglin encountering several descendants of the Zhang Family; a conflict erupted, ending with Lv Donglin lightly injured and several Zhang Family juniors seriously injured.


    This matter caused quite a stir in the Capital City; everyone knew Lv Donglin came to the Capital City certainly targeting the Zhang Family. But when both sides truly fought, everyone was very shocked.


    The fame of the Martial Champion is, of course, universally known.


    And the Beigong War God, although always beneath the Martial Champion, his recent battle at the summit of Northern Mountain where he stunned the myriad of immortals with a lifted mountain, shocked the world, and no one dared to underestimate the Beigong War God’s strength anymore. Some even vaguely felt that the Beigong War God’s power wasn’t much inferior to the Martial Champion.


    In such a situation, a conflict broke out, and understandably, it caused a sensation not just in the Capital City but throughout the entire Huaxia.


    People spected whether this battle would be the spark that would lead to an open conflict between the Martial Champion’s Zhang Family and the Beigong War God?


    Su Yang was also surprised when he received the news and hurriedly went over to Lv Donglin to inquire about the situation.


    Yet, after several days, there was still no movement from the Zhang Family, as if they were prepared to swallow this loss silently.


    This situation puzzled Su Yang. The Zhang Family is not known for such a good temperament; why had they waited so long on this matter?


    However, since the Zhang Family did not act, Su Yang did not get involved. He instructed Zhao Huzi to keep an eye on the Zhang Family situation, and if there was any movement from the Zhang Family, to immediately inform Lv Donglin and him. If the Zhang Family acted against Lv Donglin, Zhao Huzi didn’t need to notify Su Yang; he could directly take people to support Lv Donglin.


    Su Yang never intended to form a grudge with the Martial Champion, but he couldn’t possibly abandon Lv Donglin either. This matter involved Lv Donglin, and he couldn’t ignore it!


    About over a month went by in such conditions, and there was still no movement from the Zhang Family.


    However, some anomalies started to appear across the country, and even some ordinary people could feel the ground shaking beneath their feet.


    This situation caused a period of panic domestically, with many ordinary people believing it was an earthquake. However, after this prolonged shaking without any significant event happening, people gradually became ustomed and no longer paid heed to these tremors.


    Moreover, some experts came out to debunk the rumors, saying it was supposed crustal movements leading to various anomalies, not a precursor to an earthquake.
