Slaughter the Martial Academy!
Hearing those words, Li Chuan and the others in the field instantly flew into a rage.
But when they saw who had arrived, they froze.
Their anger was immediately swallowed back inside.
Because the person who came was Ye Guan!
Ye Guan and Cao Bai walked up to Li Chuan and the group. Seeing Ye Guan, Li Chuan’s eyes immediately showed wariness.
This sword cultivator was not someone he could oppose.
Ye Guan glanced at Li Chuan and said, “You want to touch him?”
Although Li Chuan felt wary in his heart, he did not show weakness on the surface. “Ye Guan, this is the Martial Academy.”
Ye Guan stared at Li Chuan. “I know. Go ahead and make your move if you dare. Let’s see if I will kill you or not!”
Li Chuan stared hard at Ye Guan. His hands clenched tightly.
Should he gamble?
Of course not!
He was not stupid!
Although he supported Lu Tian, he would not be foolish enough to risk his life for it.
Waving flags and shouting was one thing. Truly risking death? No way.
Li Chuan withdrew his gaze and gave a cold laugh. “Ye Guan, arrogance always brings disaster. I hope you can still be this arrogant one month from now!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Wait!”
Li Chuan turned back to look at Ye Guan and sneered. “What? You still want to kill me? Let me tell you, killing someone in the academy without reason means you will pay with your life!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand. I will not kill you, but… I want to beat you!”
As he spoke, he suddenly swept his sleeve.
Smack!
A sword struck directly across Li Chuan’s right cheek.
In front of everyone’s eyes, Li Chuan was sent flying more than ten zhang away by that single strike and crashed heavily to the ground.
Everyone was shocked!
Lin Qian glanced at Ye Guan. Damn, this guy is still as fierce as ever.
“Ye Guan!”
On the ground, Li Chuan suddenly stood up. He glared furiously at Ye Guan. “You dare to attack without reason inside the academy!”
Ye Guan turned to Cao Bai. “Brother Cao, what is the punishment for fighting inside the academy?”
Cao Bai said calmly, “Pay compensation!”
Ye Guan asked again, “How much?”
Cao Bai replied, “It depends on the situation, but usually no more than three hundred thousand gold crystals!”
Ye Guan opened his palm. A storage ring slowly flew to Li Chuan. Inside the ring were three hundred thousand and one gold crystals!
Ye Guan looked at Li Chuan. “I will be generous and give you one extra!”
“Ye Guan!”
Li Chuan’s face immediately twisted with rage. At that moment, Ye Guan swept his sleeve again.
Smack!
Another sword struck Li Chuan’s face. The powerful force sent him flying more than ten zhang away once more. He smashed heavily into the distant stone wall.
Bang!
The stone wall collapsed instantly!
“Insolent!”
At that moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out from inside the Martial Academy. Immediately afterwards, a large group of Martial Academy students rushed out together.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had filled the field!
The Martial Academy students glared furiously at Ye Guan. One of them stared hard at Ye Guan. “Ye Guan, do not push people too far!”
Ye Guan swept his sleeve.
Smack!
The student who had spoken was sent flying!
The crowd roared in anger and prepared to attack.
Ye Guan glanced at the Martial Academy students. “Whoever moves dies!”
Hearing that, the faces of the Martial Academy students changed at once. At present, only two people in the Martial Academy could stand against Ye Guan: the chief disciple Chen Ge, and the Child of Destiny himself.
A female student suddenly stepped forward. She stared at Ye Guan. “Young Master Ye, you have a grudge with Senior Brother Lu Tian. Go find him. Why come here to bully the students of our Martial Academy?”
Ye Guan glanced at the woman and smiled. “It is not me bullying you. It is your people who are bullying my friend!”
The woman frowned.
Ye Guan continued, “My battle with Lu Tian is indeed between him and me. But this Li Chuan deliberately came to trouble my brother just to lick your Senior Brother Lu’s boots. Everyone, do you think such behaviour is acceptable?”
Hearing that, many of the Martial Academy students turned their gazes towards Li Chuan lying on the ground. Disgust flashed in some of their eyes.
Lu Tian belonged to the Martial Academy, so naturally they had to support him. But that did not mean they had to support him without limits. Many students still had principles. After learning what Li Chuan had done, they immediately felt repulsed.
Li Chuan’s face looked extremely ugly. He climbed to his feet and glared furiously at Ye Guan. “Ye Guan, you openly attacked inside our Martial Academy and beat our people. You clearly do not take our Martial Academy seriously at all. You even said just now that you would slaughter our Martial Academy. Everyone heard it!”
He was trying to drag the entire Martial Academy into this with him!
He knew very well that with his own strength alone, he could never stand against Ye Guan. Only by binding the whole Martial Academy together could he oppose Ye Guan.
Hearing Li Chuan’s words, the faces of some Martial Academy students immediately turned extremely ugly!
Slaughter the Martial Academy!
He really did not take the Martial Academy seriously at all!
Ye Guan glanced at the Martial Academy students and smiled. “Today, I beat this Li Chuan! If the Martial Academy is not convinced, come find me, Ye Guan, for a one-on-one challenge any time. We can fight to the death whenever you want.”
With that, he looked at Li Chuan. “From now on, inside the academy, every time I see you, I will beat you once.”
Then he turned to Lin Qian. “Let’s go!”
Lin Qian glanced at Li Chuan in the distance and said, “Lapdog. Lick until the end and get beaten into a stupid dog.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Li Chuan’s face was incomparably dark. He turned to the Martial Academy disciples. “Are we just going to let them leave like this? He beat our Martial Academy people. If we let them walk away like this, how will our Martial Academy ever hold our heads high in the academy again?”
One of the men looked at Li Chuan. “Wasn’t it you who started the trouble first?”
Li Chuan roared angrily, “We are all from the Martial Academy. How dare you speak up for Ye Guan? What are your intentions?”
The man shook his head. “Do not drag the entire Martial Academy into your personal actions! You brought people to target Lin Qian. That was already underhanded. Now you failed to act tough, got beaten instead, and want to drag the whole Martial Academy down with you. Your behaviour is truly disgusting.”
Another person added, “Li Chuan, we all support Senior Brother Lu Tian because he is one of us in the Martial Academy. But that does not mean others cannot support Ye Guan. Your actions are not only smearing Senior Brother Lu Tian’s name, but also smearing the entire Martial Academy. Now, for your own selfish reasons, you want to pull the Martial Academy into the mud. Your heart is too rotten!”
The rest of the crowd looked at Li Chuan with disgust in their eyes.
At first, they thought Ye Guan had come deliberately to cause trouble. But after learning the full story, all they felt was anger, anger towards Li Chuan!
Too despicable!
Too shameful!
They did not like Ye Guan either, but they hated Li Chuan even more. This kind of person was just too stupid!
The Martial Academy students gave Li Chuan a cold glance, then turned and left.
Seeing this scene, Li Chuan’s face turned deathly pale. He knew he was finished!
At that moment, the few men who had followed Li Chuan hesitated. One of them quickly said, “Li Chuan, we are ashamed to be associated with you! From this moment on, we have nothing to do with you!”
With that, they hurriedly followed the main group.
Li Chuan: “…”
On the other side, in the plaza.
Ye Guan looked at Lin Qian in front of him without speaking.
Lin Qian gave an awkward smile. “Brother Ye!”
After Ye Guan’s battle with the Child of Destiny, the Shangxiao Sect had decisively chosen the Child of Destiny, leaving him in an awkward position.
But in the end, he still chose Ye Guan!
There was no other way!
His character had already been built!
Everyone knew that he, Ye Guan, and Ye Qing were brothers who had gone through life and death together. If he switched to supporting Lu Tian now, would that not collapse his entire persona?
Of course, the more important reason was that both he and his father favoured Ye Guan!
Damn it!
Lu Tian calls on the Heavenly Dao when he cannot win. That move is truly laughable.
So after discussing it with his father, he decided to continue supporting Ye Guan. The price was being expelled from the sect.
But both father and son felt it was worth it!
Ye Guan smiled. “Brother Lin, what game are you playing here?”
Lin Qian gave a bitter smile. “No other meaning. I simply support you, that’s all.”
Ye Guan looked at Lin Qian, smiling, saying nothing.
Lin Qian thought for a moment and said, “I have no ill intentions.”
Ye Guan nodded. “I know.”
Lin Qian said seriously, “Brother Ye, my father asked me to remind you. Many sects and noble families have now gathered around Lu Tian. They have all tied themselves into one interest group.”
He paused, then continued, “The situation has developed to this point. It means the Child of Destiny cannot lose. He must win. If he loses…”
He did not finish the sentence.
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand what you mean!”
Beside them, Cao Bai suddenly said, “Brother Ye, rest assured. On that day, my Sword Sect will escort and protect you!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly, then looked at Lin Qian. “During this time, keep a low profile inside the academy. Try your best not to let them find trouble with you!”
Lin Qian nodded. “Understood!”
With that, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Guan. “This is what my father asked me to give you. He said our Lin family is a small family and cannot offer you more support. Please do not look down on it.”
Ye Guan glanced inside. There were actually one million immortal crystals!
Ye Guan smiled and said, “I appreciate your kindness…”
But Lin Qian shook his head directly. He placed the storage ring in Ye Guan’s hand and said, “Brother Ye, please do not refuse! We know you have no family background or powerful backing. You have come this far with great difficulty, especially when it comes to money. One million immortal crystals may not be much, but it can at least help you buy some pills or whatever. Anyway, do not think it is too little. Just accept it!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Lin Qian continued, “During this time, I will keep a low profile and avoid letting them trouble me. One month from now, I will be there to cheer for you, Brother Ye!”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Guan watched Lin Qian walking away in the distance without speaking.
Cao Bai said softly, “This person is actually quite decent.”
Ye Guan smiled and put away the storage ring.
At that moment, a young boy suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan and Cao Bai. The boy quickly walked up to Ye Guan and handed him a storage ring.
Inside the ring were three million immortal crystals!
Ye Guan was stunned. “You are?”
The boy looked at Ye Guan. “I am Elder Qin Feng’s man!”
Ye Guan was stunned.
The boy continued, “In the storage ring, besides the three million immortal crystals, there are also thirty divine-rank recovery pills and thirty divine-rank healing immortal pills. Elder Qin said his position is special and he cannot come to see you in person. He hopes you will not mind. Also, he said he will always regard you as a brother.”
With that, he turned and left.
In the same spot, Ye Guan fell silent.
