Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing this, all the apprentices of the Heaven Palace Academy were shocked, and the whole area broke out into an immediate uproar. No one could believe what they had heard and they were all thinking the same thing, “Declare war?
In such a casual way? Isn’t it very hasty to declare war on three families at the same time over such a small issue?”
Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun, and Lin Huan were stunned as they stood glued to their spots. They were looking at Xu Que with puzzlement and curiosity as if they were looking at a crazy old man.
WHOOs.h.!.+ A figure dashed out from Xu Que’s side.
Mo Junchen had launched his attack. When Xu Que gave his order, Mo Junchen attacked without any hesitation. Since he had made up his mind to follow the shameless combination of Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and b.u.t.tface, he was prepared to do anything for them. Mo Junchen knew clearly that he needed to do anything he was asked, no matter what the consequences would be. Anyway, he was not the one who would clean up the mess at the end!
BOOM! A powerful pressure descended on the three sovereigns.
Mo Junchen had reached the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage. Also, he had obtained the first-rate h.e.l.l King’s Prison Suppression Physique, which meant he was much more powerful than other cultivators who were at the same stage. Therefore, it was quite easy for him to defeat three sovereigns at the summit of the Earth Celestial Stage.
“No!”
“Wait! Deputy Dean, we haven’t finished speaking yet!”
“Please stop the attack, which is totally unnecessary!”
The three of them shouted in terror at the same time. They had realized this Guardian Mo was really about to kill them at this time.
They were arrogant because of who their families were. However, none of these people were in the Heaven Palace Academy right now. n.o.body could protect them at this moment. How could they keep calm?
“Deputy Dean, please calm down, and don’t do anything reckless!” The woman who had sent Xu Que a silent message before sent him another message. She was feeling extremely nervous.
She knew Xu Que wanted to build his authority now. But once these three sovereigns had been killed, their families would definitely avenge them, which meant the Heaven Palace Academy would have created new enemies without any cause. It was completely unnecessary!
“Kill them!” Xu Que ignored all the noises coming from the three men and the woman’s message and just replied with a resolute shout.
Without any hesitation, Mo Junchen attacked them with his magic arts. His arms were wrapped in dazzling flames, and he started to punch the three sovereigns.
Physical Cultivators were good at combining their magic arts with the strength of their physiques. In this way, their attacks could be horribly lethal!
Seeing this, the three sovereigns turned pale as they turned around and tried to escape. However, they were soon caught by the fists which were wrapped with dazzling flames.
PUFF!
Bao Jian spat serious amounts of blood. Then he pressed his storage ring by clenching his teeth. The next moment, a dazzling light s.h.i.+eld appeared and put his body under its protection. He also took this opportunity to run away.
Dazzling light also appeared on Zhang Liyun’s body. A low-grade Celestial Artifact appeared under his feet, which also helped him to dodge the attack.
Lin Huan was too slow to take any protective measures. His body was demolished by Mo Junchen’s fists and exploded into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated in the wind. Lin Huan’s body was ruined. But his soul was still alive and tried to escape by flying up into the sky. However, Mo Junchen, who was fully prepared, waved his palm directly. Then the magnificent Soul Strength of a cultivator at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage gushed out and captured the soul of Lin Huan. BANG! Mo Junchen crushed the soul into ashes with his Soul Strength.
All at once, the entire area was shocked into a dead silence.
All the people were dumbfounded. They had no idea Xu Que’s underling would be so powerful that he managed to wound Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun seriously and eliminate Lin Huan together with his soul within several seconds. How ruthless this guy was!
GASP! Many people gasped as they looked at the frail old man who was standing in the sky.
Their thoughts were all pretty much the same: “This new Deputy Dean is really a lunatic! We know you want to build your authority. But you don’t need to do it in such a cruel way! Are you really going to start a war between the Heaven Palace Academy and these three families?”
Many apprentices were trembling. Some people considered themselves lucky that they hadn’t stepped up to ridicule Xu Que earlier. Otherwise, they would also have become corpses!
The teachers and the other management staff of the Heaven Palace Academy were also totally shocked. Although they didn’t belong to the Li Family faction, they had a sense of belonging to the Heaven Palace Academy and treated it as their family. Also, they were used to the friendly relations.h.i.+ps between the Heaven Palace Academy and the rest of the sects in their world.
Now, this new Deputy Dean, who was so ruthless and cruel, ignored the families behind these three sovereigns and even declared war on them directly!
Something serious was going to happen!
Peaceful life in the Heaven Palace Academy was going to be ruined.
“Deputy Dean, Deputy Dean! Please spare our lives!”
“We know we were wrong! We shouldn’t have disrespected you just now! Please spare our lives!”
Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun, who had just escaped death, dropped on their knees and asked for mercy by kowtowing crazily. They knew clearly that they were not able to get away from Mo Junchen. The strength gap between them and a cultivator at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage was too large, and it couldn’t be filled by the low-grade Celestial Artifacts in their hands. The two of them were in a panic. They had to concede and ask for mercy. When they could get back to their families, they could seek revenge against Xu Que in the future!
“Heh! Now you know you were wrong, right? I offered you an opportunity just now. Unfortunately, you killed your fellow apprentices and disrespected me and even wasted the opportunity I offered you. Above all, you are so ugly! How could you have the nerve to live in this world?” Xu Que scolded seriously. When he said “you are so ugly” his voice got very loud.
The rest of the people in this place were surprised. Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun were even more puzzled. They stared at each other with embarra.s.sment. We are not ugly at all!
“Deputy Dean, we can explain about that fellow apprentice. He is not dead but seriously wounded. He is healing in the clinic of the South Building!” Bao Jian said hurriedly at this time.
b.u.t.tface shouted in surprise, “What did you say? Song Dabao is not dead?”
“No, he helped you to escape. We knew we couldn’t kill our fellow apprentice. So, we just beat him up to vent our anger. But we didn’t kill him…” Bao Jian said in a hurry.
“F*ck! You didn’t kill him. But he is still healing in the clinic after so many years! How serious were his wounds!” b.u.t.tface shouted angrily.
“Hey! Mr. b.u.t.tface, forget it! Since Song Dabao is not dead, let’s just vent our anger by beating them up!” Duan Jiude suggested.
Hearing this, Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun let out sighs of relief. It was okay to be beaten up as long as they could stay alive. No matter how serious their wounds were, they could recover soon with numerous elixirs when they could go back to their families! They felt an enormous sense of relief. Unlike Song Dabao, who had nothing and no one to support him, Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun were much more powerful and wealthier.
The other people in this place also put their hearts at rest. When they looked at Xu Que, their hearts were full of terror because they had been intimidated by this old man’s horrible measures.
First, he had killed Lin Huan mercilessly. Then he gave a hint to b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude, so that they could make a concession with the excuse that Song Dabao was still alive! In this way, they could stand down gracefully. Also, the Heaven Palace Academy could avoid making a lot more enemies.
The relations.h.i.+p with the Lin Family had been totally ruined. However, if the sovereigns of the Bao Family and the Zhang Family were not killed, they could avoid worsening these relations.h.i.+ps through negotiations. Also, if the Bao Family and the Zhang Family were not enemies of the Heaven Palace Academy, the Lin Family wouldn’t dare to stand against the Heaven Palace Academy alone! This method could satisfy both sides! After all, the Deputy Dean could build his authority. Also, the Heaven Palace Academy could avoid becoming an enemy of the three families at the same time. Many people looked at Xu Que with admiration because they were impressed by his smart methods!
“Guardian Mo!” Xu Que shouted suddenly at this time. He frowned slightly and said as he stared at Mo Junchen with wide eyes, “What are you waiting for? Just kill these two people immediately!”
“What?” was the thought of all the people in this place. They were totally shocked and puzzled after hearing Xu Que’s words.
“Why are you still going to kill them?”
“The result will be a lot better if you spare their lives! Why do you want to do that?”
“If you insist on killing them, your smart methods will become a foolish choice!”
“I’m not a man to equivocate!” Xu Que said coldly as he glanced at Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun. “A real man never goes back on his word! I said I would kill all your family members, and I will definitely redeem my promise!”
