Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 846 847: Traitors Must Be Executed

Moreover, the leaders of the three groups were Zai Qiu, the Demon Monarch, and the Jiuxian Monarch.

After leading the powerhouses of the three great academies to arrive, they stood in the void with their hands behind their backs, their gazes looking down, exuding an air of domineering indifference.

"Everyone, what is your intention in coming uninvited to our Emperor Star Academy?" Di Cang's gaze pierced through the void, his voice resonating.

"What intention?" Zai Qiu's gaze fixed on Di Cang, speaking coldly, "You tell me, what intention? Xiao Tianyu has slaughtered two generations of Saint Children of our Heaven Slayer Academy. Naturally, we are here to repay blood with blood, an eye for an eye!"

"Ridiculous!" Di Cang let out a cold snort, "Your trio of academies' Saint Children acted despicably and deserved death. Our chairman is merely ridding this world of evil!"

"Impudent!" An elder beside Zai Qiu snorted coldly, "Since when is it up to your Emperor Star Academy to punish people of our Heaven Slayer Academy? It's simply outrageous! This evening, if Xiao Tianyu doesn't commit suicide, then today our Heaven Slayer Academy will cleanse Emperor Star with blood, erasing it from the Ancient Martial Realm!"

Cleanse Emperor Star with blood, erase it from the Ancient Martial Realm?

This...

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the academy's various divisions were terrified. To these people, are lives mere grass?

"Who are you to have the authority to demand our chairman commits suicide?" Fengzhou City Branch Leader Mo Cang snorted coldly.

"And who are you?" Zai Qiu's gaze looked down on Mo Cang, who declared loudly, "Fengzhou City Branch Leader, Mo Cang!"

"So, people from the branch have arrived?" Zai Qiu was slightly surprised, "No wonder Emperor Star suddenly has so many Saint Heaven Realm experts. But this is just perfect for catching them all and eliminating future threats!"

Zai Qiu spoke thunderously, shaking the hearts of all, making them tremble inwardly.

Zai Qiu continued, "Where is Xiao Tianyu? Is he hiding, not daring to come out? It seems he is a coward fearing death!"

"Dean Zai Qiu, you are mistaken!" At this moment, an elder stepped forward, "Xiao Tianyu and his woman have already fled and are not in the academy. Now, Emperor Star Academy is leaderless!"

This time, the elder directly named Xiao Tianyu, not referring to him as the chairman. It was evident that the elder harbored disloyalty.

Previously, in the Emperor Star Hall, he suggested handing over the Saint Child to appease the anger of the three academies. Yet now he directly called out Xiao Tianyu's name, showing his heart no longer belonged to Emperor Star Academy.

Moreover, Xiao Tianyu's absence from the academy was a secret, now revealed by the elder, showing his heart deserves condemnation.

"Second Elder, what are you saying?" Di Cang roared, not expecting a distinguished elder of Emperor Star Academy to say such a thing.

The second elder turned his gaze to Di Cang, saying, "What am I saying? Did I say anything wrong? Now, Xiao Tianyu truly is not in the academy; he has fled!"

After saying this, the second elder looked around at the strong figures of Emperor Star Academy and continued, "Our acting chairman, Xiao Tianyu, for the sake of saving his own life, has abandoned Emperor Star Academy. Meanwhile, we are here risking our lives. Do you think it's worth it?"

The consequences of this statement were serious, as it clearly undermined the morale of the Emperor Star Academy.

Sure enough, after the second elder's words, many strong figures at Emperor Star Academy showed signs of demoralization, as if what the second elder said was true, Xiao Tianyu had fled with his woman, while they were risking their lives here. Is it worth it?

"Every word of the second elder is true. Now Emperor Star is leaderless and fundamentally incapable of contending with the three academies!" At this moment, the fifth elder, among the six elders, stepped forward, eyes scanning the strong figures of Emperor Star, then focusing on Zai Qiu, continuing: "Dean Zai Qiu, if you don't mind, I, Feng Ping, am willing to follow you!"

Betrayal, the fifth elder openly betrayed Emperor Star Academy, clearly out of fear of death.

With this, the morale on the Emperor Star Academy side would sink even lower. The fifth elder had defected from the academy, and the academy's side lost another strong figure, making them even less of a match for the three academies.

"Fifth Elder, do you know the punishment of Emperor Star Academy?" An elder from the Punishment Hall wielding a Punishment Staff roared, "In times of calamity, you betray our Emperor Star Academy and dampen its morale. Such crimes are punishable by death!"

Swoosh~

Upon these words, the Punishment Hall elder suddenly emanated a strong aura, the peak of the Saint Heaven Realm, which descended upon the fifth elder.

Thud~

The fifth elder stepped forward, releasing his aura as well, colliding with that of the Punishment Hall elder in the void, creating an endless vortex.

The fifth elder spoke, "Do you think the current Emperor Star is the same as it was before? The Punishment Hall enforces the highest punishment, its authority unchallenged. So I choose to defy it, what of it?"

"Indeed!" The second elder snorted coldly, "Now Emperor Star is not what it used to be. The Punishment Hall controls the highest punishment, established since the academy's founding. Now the acting chairman has fled. How can you punish the chairman? Yet you still want to take action against us!"

These words caused the eyes of many strong academy figures to flicker. It seemed as if what the second elder said was true, the Punishment Hall's authority over the highest punishment still stands. Even if the highest-ranking person breached the punishment, the Punishment Hall, wielding the Punishment Staff, maintains the right to enforce it. Now Xiao Tianyu has fled with his woman, why hasn't the Punishment Hall punished Xiao Tianyu?

"You two are disturbing Emperor Star's morale, leading to its downfall. Truly you deserve death!" Di Cang snorted coldly.

Thud~

Then, he took a step forward, the power of the Supreme Ultimate Realm roaring forth like a mountain, directly oppressing the two elders, making them look grim, as the power of the Supreme Ultimate Realm was not something they could withstand.

"Kill!"

A single word was uttered, and Di Cang's large hand rose towards the heavens, suddenly grabbing at the two, the hand invisible yet capable of suppressing everything.

Seeing that he was about to execute the two elders, Zai Qiu snorted coldly, "Since they have come under my, Zai Qiu's, service, they are people of our Heaven Slayer Academy. How could I let you act so outrageously here!"

Buzz~

Before the voice fell, a destructive storm surged from Zai Qiu's body. In an instant, an invisible Palm Seal pressed against Di Cang's attack, destroying everything.

Boom~

Following that, a loud explosion, the two attacks collided, stirring boundless monstrous waves. Then Di Cang retreated a step, looking pale, "So strong!"

Even though Di Cang had ascended to the Supreme Ultimate Realm, in the previous clash, Di Cang still felt far inferior to Zai Qiu. Was this Zai Qiu's real strength?

Then, Di Cang gazed coldly at Zai Qiu, "My Emperor Star Academy executes traitors, and your Heaven Slayer Academy wants to intervene?"

"A joke!" Zai Qiu gazed at Di Cang, sneering, "Since these two wish to serve under our Heaven Slayer Academy, naturally they are under our protection. You want to kill them, it's equivalent to killing our Heaven Slayer Academy's people!"

"Today they betray Emperor Star Academy, tomorrow they can betray your Heaven Slayer Academy. Have you considered that?" Di Cang's voice was immensely powerful.
