In the high sky.

Senior Luoo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

There, a figure was flying at high speed, controlling the air.

The terrifying speed of sky-controlling flight was enough to make all the young Heavenly Talents in the Central Region ashamed.

The figure was Mo Youu.

At this moment, he was holding the burning hot Mo Youh, returning to the Black Cloud Academy.

Senior Luoo gazed coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Beside him, two figures appeared out of thin air in the atmosphere. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Upon closer inspection, it was Elder Jingfeng and Elder Tianchi.

"Dean." The two greeted respectfully after appearing.

"Hmm." Senior Luoo nodded indifferently.

"Mo Youh’s life is saved."

"But afterward, I still need to return to the academy to remove the Flame Restriction on her."

The two replied respectfully, "With the dean’s skills, it should be effortless."

"Effortless?" Senior Luoo frowned, "If it were in the past, it would naturally be effortless."

Yes, if it were any other time, it naturally would be effortless.

To break that Flame Restriction is not difficult for him.

It’s just that it takes time to comprehend those flame combinations, the time spent would be longer.

If it were other times, a month would pass in the blink of an eye for him.

But now, the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is less than half a month from opening.

"Afterward, you two will accompany Mo Youu to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb." Senior Luoo spoke softly.

"Remember, if Xiao Yi can come out alive from the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, kill him on the spot, and send the corpse back to Black Cloud Academy."

"Kill him on the spot?" Elder Jingfeng and Elder Tianchi were shocked.

Senior Luoo narrowed his eyes, "A Sword Dao Demon is enough with just Mo Youu."

"Twins? This old man will kill one first."

"As long as we obtain the thing from the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, Mo Youu defeating Purple Flame Yi Xiao in the future will be as easy as killing a chicken."

"What?" Elder Jingfeng and Elder Tianchi looked shocked, "Dean, what exactly is inside the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb?"

"Hehe." Senior Luoo sneered coldly, "You only need to know that if that thing comes into my possession, I can make Mo Youu become the greatest demon of eternities."

"But, Dean, Xiao Yi is still a disciple once loyal to our academy..." Elder Jingfeng wanted to say something.

Elder Tianchi said solemnly, "Rest assured, Dean, we will bring Xiao Yi’s corpse back to the academy."

"Hmm." Senior Luoo nodded, his figure flashed, and then left.

On the spot.

Elder Jingfeng frowned tightly, "The academy has already owed that Xiao Yi kid enough..."

Elder Tianchi didn’t speak.

After a while, Elder Tianchi sensed the surroundings, finally releasing a sigh.

"Fool." Elder Tianchi curled his lips, "If we don’t agree, what do you assume the dean would do? Do you think the dean only has us from Black Cloud Academy as subordinates?"

"If those people over there take action, do you believe that Xiao Yi kid has any chance of leaving the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb alive?"

"You think..." Elder Jingfeng immediately reacted, his face changed.

Elder Tianchi nodded heavily.

Though Elder Tianchi remained silent, Elder Jingfeng had already understood.

...

Heavenly Hidden Academy, Academic Palace Square.

No, now, there is no longer an Academic Palace Square.

Much of the Heavenly Hidden Academy lay in ruins.

The once beautiful mountain ranges had mostly shattered.

Dean Huoo waved his hand, countless spiritual energy rivers flowed around, dispersing the remaining flame aura completely.

Ye Shang had long stabilized the injuries of Jiu Han, Lin Xinghe, and many secluded elders.

Heavenly Hidden Academy, since it possesses the Heavenly Medicine Peak, naturally has outstanding Alchemists.

One Alchemist after another, orderly treating the injured elders and deacons lying on the ground nearby.

Jiu Han, Lin Xinghe, and the Twelve Peak Elders first stabilized their injuries and quickly gathered together.

"Old Dean." Everyone paid their respects first.

But on the faces of everyone, there was nothing but indignation.

"This Purple Flame Yi Xiao is so arrogant, injuring our Academy Elders and deacons, destroying our academy’s great land."

"No matter what, the Old Dean must seek justice for the academy."

"That’s right, seek justice."

"What of the Three Halls, our Heavenly Hidden Academy is also the Central Region’s First Academy."

Everyone was extremely angry.

Although the battle had ended, Yi Xiao had already retreated, this dramatic scene of chaos at Heavenly Hidden Academy was over.

Yet, Heavenly Hidden Academy suffered heavy losses, and the elders clearly would not let it end.

"Please, Old Dean, administer justice." The elders spoke in unison.

Dean Huoo remained silent, expressionless.

Until now, he showed a bit of irritation, "Seek justice? Then tell me, what reason shall this old man use to demand justice from the Three Halls?"

"Hmm? Speak up." Dean Huoo emphasized.

"Why did they come to make trouble at our Heavenly Hidden Academy, don’t you know?"

"Allowing academy disciples, borrowing the name of the Eight Palaces, issuing wanted orders recklessly, borrowing a knife to kill, still trying to justify themselves?"

"Just how thick should my skin be to dare ask for justice from others?"

Dean Huoo apparently possesses absolute prestige in Heavenly Hidden Academy.

Under such anger, all the elders quickly bowed, "Old Dean, calm down."

A Twelve Peak Elder quickly said, "Mo Youh, after all, is young and lacks judgment, hence committed a mistake."

"Young?" Dean Huoo retorted, "Youth is never an excuse for wanton behavior."

"Xiao Yi was but 22 years and 10 months when he entered our academy, by calculation, slightly over 26, not yet 27."

"That Purple Flame Yi Xiao, being his twin, is of similar age, not many years older than Mo Youh."

"Why is it they are Heavenly Talents of the Three Halls, admired by Martial Artists of all major regions? How is it they act within bounds, endlessly hunting Evil Cultivators without disturbing the peace of any region even slightly?"

"How are they courageous and wise, stunning the entire Central Region?"

"While our Academy, proud as Central Region’s First Academy, has nurtured disciples who are disgraceful?"

Dean Huoo increasingly revealed rage.

"But." Elder of Heavenly Sword Peak bowed his hand, "That Yi Xiao did severely injure all the elders today, and killed the elders from Sky-reaching Peak and Heavenly Stacked Peak."

"If we don’t pursue it, once word spreads, the reputation of our Heavenly Hidden Academy will surely be tarnished."

"Our Academy has been inheriting for countless years and has never suffered such disgrace..."

Dean Huoo cut off coldly, "Our Academy has inherited for countless years yet has never seen such terrifying demons as twins."

"Had your Heavenly Sword Peak not expelled Xiao Yi from the academy back then, he now would be my fourth direct disciple."

"How monstrous Yi Xiao’s talent is, you’ve seen it, each of you, renowned strong people for many years, weren’t a match for him."

"Yet he alone has achieved this through independent cultivation."

"How about Xiao Yi? Being one of the twins, this old man acknowledged his talent back then, had he entered my mentorship earlier, receiving my careful guidance, today, our Heavenly Hidden Academy would have birthed what kind of extraordinary Sword Dao Demon."

"Today, would such a farce happen?"
