Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 603 - 604: Tit for Tat

From Ouyang Ba's words, it's not hard to detect a hint of flattery. However, it's understandable since the other party is the principal of Emperor Star Academy, supreme above all, so the flattery is necessary. Whether it backfires or not, is another matter.

"What Clan Leader Ouyang said is correct. Tianyu International has been wantonly slaughtering the innocent in Fengzhou City. Up till now, two major families have been massacred by him. Therefore, Tianyu International should vanish from Fengzhou City to prevent further suffering!"

From the Zhuge Family's side, Zhuge Shan's voice was imposing. No matter how strong Tianyu International is, today is the day they meet their end.

Upon hearing this, Mo Cang's deep gaze swept over the other members of the Ancient Martial Clan, speaking indifferently, "Do you all think the same?"

"Indeed!" Many responded in unison.

Then, someone from the Nangong Family said, "On August 22nd, within the Celestial Universe International Hotel, the people of Tianyu International, bloodthirsty by nature, slaughtered several members of our families, and Tuoba Lei from the Tuoba Family, an inner sect disciple of Emperor Star Academy, was also killed without leaving a trace. On August 29th, the day of Xiao Ziyan's banquet, Tianyu International once again massacred our family members, leaving almost no younger generation alive. Such heinous methods are outrageous. Today's assembly at Demon Suppression Hall is meant to rid Fengzhou City of a scourge, and Emperor Star Academy's impartiality in personally overseeing this assembly is exemplary for our generation!"

"The Nangong Family's words are true, and now the Duanmu Family and Tuoba Family have both been annihilated, also by Tianyu International's doing, causing chaos in the Ancient Martial Realm. If Tianyu International isn't eliminated, it would be hard to appease the people's hearts!" Someone from the Ouyang Family spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mo Cang sneered inwardly. These people really don't know what's good for them.

Mo Cang knew very well that if these people hadn't provoked Tianyu International, Tianyu International wouldn't have killed indiscriminately. Now, in their ears, Xiao Tianyu became a bloodthirsty person.

Then, Mo Cang swept his gaze below and spoke calmly, "As far as I know, on August 22nd, it seemed your family members went to Tianyu International causing trouble and lusted after Xiao Ziyan's beauty, which is why Tianyu International's people were enraged!"

"It's well known that Tianyu International declared Xiao Ziyan as the young lady of Tianyu International, yet your family descendants demanded Xiao Ziyan kneel and apologize, wouldn't Tianyu International be angry?"

After speaking, Mo Cang's gaze fell on Xiao Yuanshan and continued, "On the day of Xiao Ziyan's birthday banquet, I think you, Clan Leader Xiao, are clearer about this than I am. As far as I know, during the martial arts competition to recruit a son-in-law, Xiao Tianyu had once seized the first place, how did you arrange it, Clan Leader Xiao? You chose one between Nangong Yuan and Zhuge Lantian to be your Xiao Family's son-in-law. From this point, it's not hard to see that it was your Xiao Family who first broke the promise, and other families followed suit and booed, only to be killed in the end. Who's to blame for this?"

"Does it mean that Tianyu International's members are not worthy of Xiao Ziyan?"

Mo Cang's voice was robust, resonating in the eardrums of the people, making many strong figures from Ancient Martial Clans momentarily silent, as if, as Mo Cang said, they were the ones who stirred up trouble first, and now they are being executed, yet here in Demon Suppression Hall, they are holding a Demon Suppression Assembly, which is quite laughable.

After a long pause, the elder from the Ouyang Family faced Mo Cang with clasped fists and said, "Even if it is as Dean Mo said, but can the mass slaughter committed by Tianyu International be forgiven? We are all gathered here today at Demon Suppression Mountain's Demon Suppression Hall to suppress demons. Emperor Star Academy presides over this, yet your words lean towards Tianyu International, which I find puzzling!"

"Puzzling?" At this moment, Zhan Zhengyun's gaze landed on the elder from the Ouyang Family, continuing, "You will understand in a moment!"

"Elder Zhan, we don't understand what you mean!" An elderly white-haired man from the Zhuge Family side spoke to Zhan Zhengyun, "Could it be that the Demon Suppression Assembly held today, hosted by Emperor Star Academy, is just to speak on behalf of Tianyu International?"

Now, the figures at the Ancestor Level from all the great families seemed to be no longer as respectful towards Emperor Star Academy as they were before.

"Are you questioning Emperor Star Academy?" The Grand Elder of Emperor Star Academy's sharp gaze fell, and an invisible pressure instantly descended on the strong figures of all the major families, making their hearts tremble, their expressions rather unsightly.

"I dare not!"

"Then sit down and wait for the assembly to begin!" The Grand Elder's voice was forceful, leaving many unable to grasp its meaning, even feeling increasingly abnormal.

What is going on?

Many people below also looked perplexed.

"Wasn't it agreed that today is the Demon Suppression Assembly, the righteous path?"

"Wasn't it agreed that Emperor Star Academy would personally act to suppress demons? Why is Emperor Star Academy speaking for Tianyu International?"

"Tianyu International has money, maybe they opened a backdoor!"

"I think so too, as the saying goes, money can make the devil push the millstone!"

"..."

Many in the crowd spoke one after another, and it's no wonder, with Tianyu International's profound resources, casually sending billions to Emperor Star Academy would probably turn black into white.

In this world, is there anything money can't resolve?

"I don't care about your grievances with Tianyu International!" At this moment, Zhan Qingyun from the Zhan Family spoke, "Mo Cang, my son Zhan Yinghao was a core disciple of your Fengzhou City's Emperor Star Branch. Now, without any reason, you Mo Cang expelled my son. May I ask why?"

He was questioning, Zhan Qingyun was questioning Mo Cang, and he was rather disrespectful, directly calling Mo Cang by name.

Swish swish swish~

In an instant, the gaze of the crowd fell on Zhan Qingyun, revealing a hint of astonishment. Saint Heaven Realm experts indeed speak with confidence.

However, Mo Cang frowned, and the Second Elder beside him said, "It's not Zhan Family's business for Emperor Star Academy to decide who to expel, right? Do you think that just because you're from the Imperial Capital, you can act wildly at the Fengzhou City Branch?"

The Second Elder's words were equally blunt. What business is it of Zhan Family if Emperor Star Academy decides to expel someone?

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qingyun's eyes flashed with a cold light, he said, "Is this the principle of Emperor Star Academy?"

"So what if it is?" Second Elder's voice was sonorous, "If you came for this matter, then you can leave now!"

"Then you can leave now!"

This remark echoed harshly in everyone's eardrums. Is this the essence of Emperor Star Academy? Even a branch academy still doesn't put Zhan Family, one of the ten major families of the Imperial Capital, in its eyes.

Wow~

At this moment, Zhan Qingyun's aura burst out, and a Saint Heaven Realm might descended from the sky, instantly pressing down on Second Elder, causing many to be frightened. Does the Zhan Family plan to make a move against Emperor Star Academy? If they do, are they not afraid of Emperor Star Academy?
