Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 832 833: Hand Over the Saint Child

"What if the Chairman doesn't come back?" Before Di Cang's words could fall, a discordant voice emerged from the crowd: "If the Chairman leaves, I ask, who in the academy can resist the deans of the three great institutes? Is it you, Dean Di Cang, or us, the various elders?"

"The sixth elder has spoken wisely!" The Great Elder stepped forward and said, "With our Emperor Star Academy facing an inevitable disaster, there's no escape…"

However, before the Great Elder could finish speaking, Di Cang let out a cold snort: "I will resist the three great institutes!"

Wow~

As these words left Di Cang's mouth, a formidable aura burst forth from him, and suddenly, an overwhelming pressure filled the entire great hall, making everyone feel as though they were suffocating under the weight of a mountain.

Looking again at Di Cang, his entire demeanor had changed. His white hair fluttered, exuding an imposing aura, like an Ancient Emperor standing there, dignified and majestic.

"Supreme Ultimate Realm!" After a long while, someone in the hall couldn't help but exclaim: "When did our dean ascend to the Supreme Ultimate Realm?"

Stunned.

In an instant, many people in the hall were left in a state of bewilderment. Who would have thought that the last time Di Cang returned severely injured from the Bright Divine Sect, it was only three days ago, and now he had become a Supreme Ultimate Realm powerhouse.

Could it be rebuilding after breaking?

Is it only after being harshly beaten that one can break through?

Hey, you there, beat me harshly too; I also want to break through, damn it, how impressive is the Supreme Ultimate Realm?

Of course, it wasn't as everyone thought. Di Cang's breakthrough to the Supreme Ultimate Realm was naturally credited to Xiao Tianyu. Without Xiao Tianyu's pill, Di Cang wouldn't have broken through so easily.

But even after breaking through to the Supreme Ultimate Realm, is it useful?

At least in the view of the various elders, it's not of much use.

Thus, the Great Elder looked at Di Cang and spoke: "The dean's breakthrough to the Supreme Ultimate Realm is certainly a cause for celebration, but isn't Chi Zhongtian's strength likely greater than the dean's? Yet he only managed to flee when faced with Zai Qiu. If it were the dean, what would he do?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire hall fell into silence again. It seemed just as the Great Elder said, what use is there in breaking through to the Supreme Ultimate Realm if Chi Zhongtian is no match for Zai Qiu, let alone the dean who has only just recently broken through?

"Great Elder, raising others' aspirations while extinguishing our Emperor Star's spirit, is this really a good thing?" Di Cang snorted coldly. Not only does this Great Elder not boost morale, he repeatedly undermines the Emperor Star Academy's morale, seeking its destruction at heart.

"I'm just stating the facts. Even if the dean is in the Supreme Ultimate Realm, how can he resist the three great institutes!" the Great Elder continued: "So, the Emperor Star Academy is still in a time of crisis!"

"I do have a way, maybe it can avoid the disaster for Emperor Star!" At this moment, the Fifth Elder stepped forward; everyone turned their gaze, seeing Mo Cang, the head of the Fengzhou City Branch, speak up: "What method?"

Rustle rustle~

At the same time, many eyes fell on the Fifth Elder, with everyone speculating what method this Fifth Elder might have to save the academy at this point.

Then, the Fifth Elder continued: "The Saint Child of the three great institutes died at the hands of the Chairman, that's a fact beyond dispute, and now the Chairman has disappeared without reason, leaving the academy's safety uncared for, which is also indisputable. It's likely that the powerhouses of the three great institutes will soon descend upon Emperor Star to demand accountability. The only way to preserve Emperor Star Academy is to hand over the Saint Child Luo Yuan!"

What, hand over Saint Child Luo Yuan?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall expressed their horror. The Saint Child represents the will of the academy and the future of the academy. If the Saint Child is handed over, what face does the academy have?"

"Fifth Elder, you are being too presumptuous!" Di Cang snorted coldly, but the Fifth Elder continued: "Dean, let me finish!"

Is this even worth finishing? Di Cang was filled with rage, handing over the Saint Child, this is the height of absurdity!

The Fifth Elder continued: "The Saint Child of the three great institutes all perished at the hands of Emperor Star. If we hand over our Saint Child for punishment by the three great institutes, maybe they would change their stance. In this way, Emperor Star Academy could be saved!"

"I think the Fifth Elder's words are not without merit!" The Great Elder chimed in: "Sacrificing one Saint Child, if it can save Emperor Star, is the most cost-effective thing. Moreover, as the Saint Child of the academy, Luo Yuan should be prepared to sacrifice for the academy. What do you all think!"

"But sacrificing the Saint Child, will it really make the three great institutes cease their actions?" someone asked.

"It's worth a try!" The Fifth Elder looked at the one who asked the question and continued: "The Saint Child of the three great institutes died at the hands of Emperor Star, hence the enmity. If we sincerely hand over our Saint Child for their punishment, perhaps it could quell their anger. Also, handing over the Saint Child would be our most sincere apology to them!"

"Nonsense!" The branch head Mo Cang snorted coldly: "The Saint Child is the glory of the academy, representing everything about the academy; it's simply ridiculous to hand over based on your words. I fear you, Third Elder, proposed this suggestion out of fear for your life, didn't you?"

Mo Cang continued: "Our Emperor Star Academy has stood in the Ancient Martial Realm for hundreds of years, never has there been talk of handing over the Saint Child, even if it means fighting to the death!"

"If you die, naturally it's insignificant, but have you considered everything about the academy? Today, the academy's disciples number in the tens of thousands. If they were massacred, how would you face their families?"

"Anyway, I do not agree to hand over the Saint Child!" Mo Cang snorted coldly.

"Mo Cang's words are correct!" Di Cang turned his gaze, staring at the Fifth Elder, and spoke: "Handing over the Saint Child to the punishment of the three great institutes, the thought alone is insufferable. Our Emperor Star Academy has not fallen to such a debased state; if you dare say it again, you shall perish!"

When the word 'perish' fell, an overwhelming aura emanated from Di Cang, instantly enveloping the Fifth Elder, causing his complexion to turn pale, yet he dared not respond. The reason being, he saw a genuine murderous intent in Di Cang's eyes.

At this moment, even the Great Elder fell silent.

"Does anyone else suggest handing over the Saint Child?" At that moment, Di Cang looked at the crowd, his voice resounding mightily, yet no one dared speak. At that moment, they all understood, Di Cang was furious.

"Handing over the Saint Child is utterly ridiculous!" Di Cang snorted coldly. The Saint Child represents the will of the academy and the future of the academy. If truly handed over, what face does Emperor Star Academy have left?"

"Gentlemen!" At that moment, a calm voice echoed from Luo Yuan's mouth: "If handing me over can truly calm the storm in Emperor Star, I naturally will not shy away. But, can it really calm the storm? Do you believe the three great institutes will cease their actions because of me?"

Luo Yuan's voice continually resonated within the great hall: "It's true that the person who died in the Bright Divine Sect was the Saint Child of the three great institutes. You might think that handing me over could quell their anger, but you're mistaken; they didn't come to the academy solely for this!"
