Because of his powerful strength, the upper echelons of the White Tiger Academy had no choice but to be on guard against him. Therefore, their family's outstanding Skywalker didn't have the right to enter the core of the White Tiger Academy. To put it bluntly, the Huangfu family could only be used as tools for combat and not as the master of the tools to control.
However, they didn't resist White Tiger Academy's orders. Instead, they quietly did what they had to do, contributing many outstanding disciples to the academy every year. Even so, White Tiger Academy didn't let down their vigilance against them.
Outside the White Tiger City, the Huangfu Clan was a small fortress that made people feel that it was rather sealed off. Of course, most people did not and were not allowed to enter.
Every ten meters on the towering wall was patrolled and protected. One could vaguely see sharp arrows flashing in some places under the sunlight.
There were at least ten or so undead corner line of sight blocking the sky above the fortress. If anyone wanted to enter from the sky, it was likely that the countless arrows hidden in the dark would immediately turn the invader into a hedgehog.
Within a slightly dimly lit secret room. A few figures were sitting inside.
"Looks like the Black Cloaked Alliance is going to make a move against the White Tiger Academy!" An old man said in a low voice.
"Ancestor, how about we take this opportunity to break free from our bindings?" The man clad in luxurious clothing replied respectfully.
The Old Ancestor already had an answer in his heart. He firmly said, "Of course, before I die, I must bring the Huangfu Clan to glory."
"Then the Old Patriarch's intention is to agree to the conditions of the Black Cloaked Alliance?" The man from before asked.
The old ancestor's eyes lit up as a hint of excitement flashed across his face. He laughed sinisterly, "Do you think that those random soldiers from the Black Cloaked Alliance can make a coup?"
The other clansmen looked at the ancestor with puzzlement, not knowing what he was planning.
"As expected, the Black Cloaked Alliance will end in failure. It is definitely inappropriate for us to stand on their side. At this time, we should support Dean Hong Liang." The Old Ancestor slowly said.
"Hong Liang? How can we support him? It was he who ordered our family to be quarantined! " A clansman asked in confusion.
"Hehe!" He alone cannot make that decision. According to the intelligence of the clan's disciple Huangfu Qi, due to Wuya's betrayal, Hongliang's authority in White Tiger Academy has been lowered. If we help him now, perhaps he will cooperate with us. " The Old Ancestor coldly said.
The other tribesmen nodded. This plan was not bad, but how could they help Hong Liang? Originally, I wanted to listen to the next arrangements, but who would've known that the ancestor would say softly, "Alright, leave the rest to me, you guys wait for the orders in the clan."
"Yes!" The few of them replied respectfully before slowly leaving the room.
"It's about time for the Huangfu Family to rise to prominence! All the things that are owed to us must be returned. " In the dark room, the forefather's face was twisted, revealing a faint sense of malevolence.
The study was strangely quiet and warm, and the fire glowed with a slow red light. The walls were white, the white paper was covered with silver drawings, and the two bookshelves were also white. Furthermore, there was a pot of Heavenly Winter Grass on the bookshelf. The grass was already three feet long and hung down like fragrant vines. The green leaves faintly covered some of the books.
He shook his head helplessly. Recently, he had been very agitated and as the principal he was currently unable to control the White Tiger Academy. If this goes on, he would become a puppet.
He thought of a lot of ways, but they were all useless. Even if Wu Ya retreated, according to the agreement that he had reached, the only way would be for the people from Hong Su's side to ascend to the throne.
At this moment, knocking sounds came from outside.
"Come in!" Rising in his spirit, Hong Liang shouted.
"Dean Hong, Huangfu Guang wishes to meet you!" A hand came in from outside the door and respectfully said.
"Invite him in quickly!" Hong Liang stood up in shock. At the same time, the ancestor of the Huangfu family was also his own martial uncle, so he quickly spoke.
He nodded and immediately left. After a while, he saw the Huangfu ancestor walking in with a cane. Hong Liang quickly went over to support him and said respectfully, "Martial Uncle, if there's anything, just tell me. Why have you come personally?"
"Sigh!" Right now, my Huangfu Family's reputation in Sky Gold Country is getting worse with every passing day. We don't have the capital anymore. " The Old Ancestor found a seat and sat down, sighing as he spoke.
"From what you've said, Martial Uncle, Huangfu Clan is the pride of our Heavenly Gold Nation, haha!" Hong Liang said with a smile.
"I think that among all the higher-ups, only you would speak up for the Huangfu Family like that. "Alright, I won't say too much. The reason I'm here today is to help you get out of this predicament." The Old Ancestor slowly said.
Hong Liang was stunned. Help me? Did he know some secret? Thus, he listened attentively to what the old ancestor was about to say.
"In the past, when senior handed over the position of dean to you, he valued your steadiness and did not easily stir up trouble. I also very much approve of the peace and stability that the people of the Heavenly Gold Country have had, thanks to you."
"Uncle-master is too kind, I dare not accept it!" Hong Liang said humbly.
The Old Ancestor waved his hand and continued, "This is something that many people think, but I did not say it on purpose. Your gentleness has led to the current situation of snatching authority from the Hong Ye. I presume that you are also conflicted right now! " With that, the forefather shot a glance at Hong Liang.
"Senior uncle, please teach me!" Hong Liang bowed to the Patriarch.
"Right now, the only way is to get rid of an elder from the Crimson Nimbus Guild." The old ancestor's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"This... "This?" Hong Liang looked at the ancestor in shock. He had never thought that the ancestor would be so ruthless as to kill each other.
The Old Ancestor knew that he would have this kind of expression, so he fiercely said, "As the one in power, you should not bother with small details. If you let Hong Lingtong take power, his policies of war will cause more suffering, so you cannot be soft-hearted."
Hong Liang was moved by the ancestor's words. However, he was not ruthless at all. Every elder had worked with him for many years, and they more or less held some feelings for him.
"Don't worry, this matter won't affect you. As long as senior granduncle is willing to help you, you should think about it properly!" The Old Ancestor picked up his walking stick and turned around.
"Martial Uncle's goal is for the Huangfu Clan?" Hong Liang suddenly asked.
"The Huangfu family can sacrifice themselves to protect the Heavenly Gold Country, but they can't stay so useless. If you regain power, I hope the White Tiger Academy will trust us even more." With that, the ancestor disappeared from his sight.
