Chapter 1177: 1177
Meanwhile, in a completely different area . A good distance south of the Water School .
Several figures in blue could be seen weaving through a forest . Despite the foliage, they were traveling at quite the speed .
“Found them! Elder Qu, students from the Wood School!”
One of the female students from the Water School exclaimed .
Elder Qu nodded in acknowledgment of the report . “Yes, I see . This aura…belongs to elder Wei of their school, let’s go!!”
They didn’t need to be told twice . Immediately, everyone began to travel even faster through the forest .
It didn’t take them long to reach the incoming reinforcements . Like them, the Wood School had its students weaving through the trees instead of the sky .
“Elder Wei!” Elder Qu called out at once to a gray-robed elder on the opposing side .
This elder he was talking to was the second elder of the Wood School, Wei Duhe . The Peak Late-stage Soul King looked relieved to see elder Qu, “Elder Qu! Our apologies for being late, how is the situation!”
“Not at all! You’re the first reinforcements to arrive . Our school is still battling it out with the enemy . Please follow us back to the school, you can see the situation yourself!”
Elder Qu tried his best to explain to Wei Duhe on the situation as he knew it . He nodded his head at the students following his fellow elder, “I hadn’t any idea that the Wood School would be so generous as to lend us thirteen Soul Kings . Your kindness will not be forgotten . ”
Elder Wei smiled . “There’s no need for that, our schools are close friends, and friends should help one another in times of crisis . Master Chen wanted to come, but…as you know, the situation on the continent is rather unstable . He was fearful of something happening to the school in his absence and decided to remain behind…”
“I understand . The fact that your school is already doing this much is very hard to believe…” Elder Qu nodded . Master Chen was another Soul Emperor of the Wood School . He’d normally stay behind on the schoolgrounds to provide order and safety . Without a good reason to, the second Soul Emperor would never leave his school unguarded, especially in times of chaos as today .
The Water and Wood Schools were the weakest of the five since the both of them only had two Soul Emperors while the others had three or more . When the five schools were on the verge of war, it was the Wood School that was responsible for mediating . That school had the least grievances and saw to the mediation of many of the conflicts, such as the one between the Metal and Fire Schools .
So it was especially touching to see how much of their fighting force the Wood School gave out . Thirteen Soul Kings and the Peak Late-stage Soul King, Wei Duhe .
This was actually the reason why You Qingfeng and a few others were sent to the Soulbeast Forest . The Wood School was trying to up their strength by having them contract with soulbeasts and become Soul Kings .
Chu Yuhe wasn’t a part of this fighting force since she only just became a Soul King . It’d be more dangerous to send a newly-advanced Soul King onto a dangerous battle like this .
“Boom boom boom boom…”
The closer the group got to the Water School, the louder the explosions became . It wasn’t hard to tell that a war was taking place .
“There’s no time to lose,” Elder Qu spoke, “let’s pick up the pace!”
“Yes!” Together, everyone took off toward the Water School with renewed speed .
The group didn’t even make it a thousand steps away when they suddenly froze still in the midair!
A portion of the sky above them rippled several times before a group of people stepped out from a rift!
At the front of the group was an elder wearing robes dark purple in color . Eleven people stood behind him—they were all Soul Kings!
