When did the reputation of Guanxuan Academy become so terrifying?
Ye Xuan’s expression darkened.
Of course, he didn’t jump to conclusions. He still needed to investigate thoroughly!
Ye Xuan directly led Li Banzhi into the mansion. At that moment, an elderly man approached from a distance, accompanied by a young woman in a purple dress and a group of elders.
Everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy, their expressions extremely wary!
Ye Xuan looked at the leading elder, “Are you the patriarch of the Nanling Clan?”
The elder looked at Ye Xuan cautiously, “Indeed!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I’m from Guanxuan Academy!”
The elder said in a deep voice, “From the Guanxuan Academy in the Nanling Star Region, or somewhere else?”
Ye Xuan replied, “Somewhere else!”
Hearing this, the elder’s expression relaxed slightly.
Ye Xuan said, “Tell me the full story of what happened!”
The elder was about to speak when a powerful aura suddenly surged from the sky.
Ye Xuan looked up, frowning.
Soon, a black-robed elder appeared in the sky. Upon seeing him, the faces of the Nanling Clan patriarch and others turned extremely grim!
The black-robed elder looked down at the Nanling Clan members, sneering, “Still evacuating your clan? Nanling Lin, you attacked Guanxuan Academy. That’s a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations. Do you think your clan can survive?”
Nanling Lin said in a deep voice, “Elder Gu, are you really going to take things this far?”
Elder Gu sneered viciously, “I gave your Nanling Clan a chance, but you didn’t know how to appreciate it!”
Nanling Lin’s face darkened, “Elder Gu, you demand millions of purple crystals every year. The Nanling Clan is just a small clan. How can we afford that? Besides, this clearly violates Guanxuan Law. Aren’t you afraid of punishment from Guanxuan Academy?”
“Damn Guanxuan Law!”
Elder Gu sneered, “That thing is just for scaring people. From top to bottom, who in Guanxuan Academy isn’t corrupt?”
Ye Xuan turned to Li Banzhi. Li Banzhi hesitated, then said, “I’m not corrupt!”
She really wasn’t!
Joking aside, at her level, did she need to be corrupt?
Ye Xuan sighed softly.
If Guanxuan Academy wasn’t managed well, it could end up like the Dao Sect!
Corrupt from top to bottom!
Look, even the Great Dao Pen was corrupt!
In the distance, the faces of Nanling Lin and others grew extremely grim.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Patriarch Nanling Lin, why didn’t you file a complaint?”
File a complaint!
Nanling Lin gave a bitter smile, “We wanted to, but it’s simply impossible!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
The purple-dressed woman beside Nanling Lin suddenly said, “Young Master, you really don’t understand the hardships of the world. Let me ask you, if you were from Guanxuan Academy, would you let us file a complaint? Could we even leave the Nanling Star Region?”
She gave a light laugh, then continued, “I’m afraid we’d vanish from the world before we even left the Nanling Star Region!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The purple-dressed woman added, “You probably don’t know how dark the world can be!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “That’s my fault!”
The purple-dressed woman glanced at Ye Xuan, then at Elder Gu in the sky, and said no more.
At that moment, Elder Gu suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, sneering, “File a complaint? Look at this, we’ve got a genius here!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Elder Gu stared at Ye Xuan, “You’re not from the Nanling Clan!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’m not. I’m…”
Elder Gu suddenly roared in anger, “Where did you come from, you fool? Who are you to meddle in Guanxuan Academy’s affairs?”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan roughly understood the situation!
Clearly, the Guanxuan Academy here was corrupt!
And so corrupt that it forced people to rebel!
At that moment, Elder Gu suddenly asked, “Who are you!”
He suddenly felt something was off.
Under normal circumstances, who would dare oppose Guanxuan Academy?
Ye Xuan glanced at Elder Gu and said, “According to Guanxuan Law, those guilty of corruption face the death penalty!”
Elder Gu sneered, “Are you trying to scare me? Let me tell you, in the Nanling Star Region, our South Academy Head is the sky, the everything! As for the Little Guan Universe, it’s far away, and the emperor is distant. Do you think they care about this small place?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Call your South Academy Head here!”
Elder Gu was about to speak when a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The next moment, a dagger was pressed against his throat!
Everyone froze!
The black-robed figure didn’t kill Elder Gu, naturally following Ye Xuan’s intent!
Elder Gu stared at Ye Xuan, “Do you know what you’re doing? I’m from Guanxuan Academy. You dare to act against someone from Guanxuan Academy? Do you know the consequences this will bring you?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “What consequences?”
Elder Gu roared, “If you touch a single hair on my head, the Human Sword Master will wipe out ten of your clans!”
Li Banzhi turned her head away, unable to watch.
Ye Xuan looked at Elder Gu, “I bet he wouldn’t dare!”
Elder Gu laughed in anger, “He wouldn’t dare? Haha… you ant, do you know how powerful the Human Sword Master is? I heard he even dares to kill his own father. You think he wouldn’t dare?”
What the hell?
Ye Xuan’s eyelid twitched, “Who told you that? Let me tell you, you can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly!”
Elder Gu sneered, “Everyone knows it!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
Damn it!
Since when did he dare to kill his own father?
Isn’t that nonsense?
At that moment, a middle-aged man suddenly approached from the distant sky!
Seeing him, Elder Gu acted as if he’d seen a savior, quickly shouting, “South Academy Head, save me!”
South Academy Head!
Hearing Elder Gu’s words, the faces of the Nanling Clan members turned grim.
The South Academy Head ignored Elder Gu and looked at Ye Xuan, “How should I address this young master?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’m from Guanxuan Academy!”
The South Academy Head smiled, “I guessed as much!”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “You guessed?”
The South Academy Head smiled confidently, “In this world, only someone from Guanxuan Academy would dare meddle in its affairs!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
What a show-off!
The South Academy Head smiled, “Which Guanxuan Academy are you from?”
There were far too many Guanxuan Academies!
Ye Xuan smiled, “What do you think?”
The South Academy Head shook his head with a smile, “Since we’re from the same place, I’ll propose two options. See if they work for you! First, the Nanling Clan has rebelled, openly attacking Guanxuan Academy. That’s treason, and they should be slaughtered. All their treasures, we’ll split half with you!”
Nearby, Nanling Lin roared in anger, “South Academy Head, when did my Nanling Clan ever attack Guanxuan Academy? Don’t make baseless accusations!”
The South Academy Head glanced at Nanling Lin, smiling, “If I say you attacked, you attacked! Tell me, will the higher-ups believe you or me?”
Hearing this, Nanling Lin’s face turned extremely grim.
No doubt, the higher-ups would definitely believe the South Academy Head!
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “What’s the second option?”
The South Academy Head looked at Ye Xuan, “The second option is we wipe you out along with them! Then, I’ll report to Guanxuan Academy that you were killed by the Nanling Clan, and we avenged you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Impressive!”
Li Banzhi suddenly said, “You’re not choosing the second option because you don’t know our true identities, right?”
The South Academy Head smiled, “Exactly!”
Li Banzhi looked at him, “Do you want to know who we are?”
The South Academy Head chuckled, “I don’t know who you are, but I can tell you, Elder Nantian is my grandfather.”
Nantian!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan and Li Banzhi exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled!
Elder Nantian?
Seeing that neither recognized the name, the South Academy Head burst into laughter, “It seems I overestimated your background! You don’t even know Elder Nantian of the Inner Cabinet!”
Ye Xuan and Li Banzhi looked at the South Academy Head. Ye Xuan asked, “Inner Cabinet?”
The South Academy Head chuckled, “It seems you’re really just small fry! You don’t even know the Human Sword Master has established an Inner Cabinet?”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is there an Elder Nantian in the Inner Cabinet?”
The South Academy Head smiled, “Of course! My grandfather, Elder Nantian, is the Inner Cabinet’s Chief Minister! Second only to one, above all others!”
Ye Xuan looked at Li Banzhi. Isn’t the Inner Cabinet’s Chief Minister you?
Li Banzhi hesitated, then said, “I’m puzzled too!”
In the sky, the South Academy Head chuckled, “Let alone plundering the Nanling Clan, even killing you would be a trivial matter.”
Ye Xuan said, “Even the Inner Cabinet’s Chief Minister must abide by Guanxuan Law, right?”
The South Academy Head sneered, “Guanxuan Law is for the common masses at the bottom! For those with real power, who follows Guanxuan Law? Take the Inner Cabinet’s Chief Minister, for example. Do you know what that title means? It means second only to one, above all others. A true elite. Aside from the Human Sword Master, does he need to care about anyone? As for Guanxuan Law, forget following it. Abolishing it would only take a word from him!”
Ye Xuan looked at Li Banzhi. Her face was dark.
Damn it!
She’d never wanted to kill someone as much as she did now!
With this guy talking like that, her authority was probably going to be curtailed again!
At that moment, the South Academy Head suddenly said, “I’m done wasting time with you! Whoever you are, you’re going to die!”
With that, he waved his right hand, and hundreds of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses suddenly appeared from the shadows around them!
In the distance, Nanling Lin’s face changed drastically. At that moment, the purple-dressed woman suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered, “Father, don’t panic! This South Academy Head is finished!”
Nanling Lin was stunned.
At that moment, Ye Xuan glanced at the Guanxuan Academy powerhouses. His palm opened, and the Qingxuan Sword suddenly flew out. At the same time, his appearance returned to normal!
The South Academy Head sneered, “Still trying to resist?”
Ye Xuan pointed at the Qingxuan Sword, “Don’t you recognize this sword?”
The South Academy Head laughed, “Should I recognize it?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The South Academy Head suddenly pointed angrily at Ye Xuan, “Cut him down! Whatever happens, whatever the consequences, my grandfather will handle it!”
Grandfather: “…”
