Chapter 2924: Invitation from an Emperor
Translator: Legge
“The academy is in trouble. Hurry and invite the Sect Master of the Academy out!”
“The Sect Master is not in Heaven and Earth Palace.”
“Given the Sect Master’s talent in divination, do you think he won’t know about this? He’s probably long fled!”
Many disciples gradually understood that the Sect Master of the Academy would not appear at all.
Even if Heaven and Earth Academy was reduced to ruins and destroyed…
Even if all of them died here, the Sect Master of the Academy would not care.
In the heavy rain, the commotion and roars intertwined in chaos.
Countless disciples of the academy fled outside.
Including the seven elders, the other Kings and legacy disciples of the academy fled outside in panic, not daring to linger in the academy.
Everyone looked at the Iron Crown Old Man with deep fear.
If they said that the Sect Master of the Academy doesn’t deserve to be killed, they would definitely die.
However, Zhang Hua and the others clearly said that the Sect Master of the Academy deserved to be killed and could not escape death either.
No one knew why the Iron Crown Old Man was killing people.
Under such circumstances, everyone could only think of escaping from Heaven and Earth Academy and staying as far away from the Iron Crown Old Man as possible.
However, there was something strange.
Some disciples of the academy thought that they would definitely die after being drenched by a drop of sword rain.
However, they were surprised to discover that the drop of rain that landed on them did not have any lethality. It was like the most ordinary drop of rain.
As for some disciples of the academy, no matter how fast they fled, they were not spared by the sword rain.
The sword rain poured down and intensified.
The entire Heaven and Earth Academy had already turned into ruins under the sword rain!
In a secret ground of the academy.
Lin Xuanji was secretly speechless when he saw the scene before him.
Old Xuan sighed. “The situation that Master was most worried about still happened.”
“When Heaven and Earth Academy was established, there was already an Elder Ten in the background. His greatest use was to hide himself. If the academy was destroyed, he could still retain the legacy of the academy and pass it down.”
“Before Master died, he repeatedly reminded me that the Sect Master of the Academy was too scheming and ambitious and could easily cause trouble for the academy. To think that his words would come true…”
Lin Xuanji turned back to look at Old Xuan and could not help but frown. “Old Man Xuan, Heaven and Earth Academy is about to be destroyed. Why don’t you look sad at all?”
Old Xuan smiled. “This is rather good as well. The original academy was already ruined by the Sect Master of the Academy and it’s difficult to revert it to its roots. There’s no building without destruction. The only way to rebuild the academy is by destroying it in its current state.”
“Look at those disciples of the academy.”
Old Xuan pointed at the cultivators of the academy who were fleeing in panic. “These cultivators were just defending the academy and the Sect Master of the Academy righteously earlier on. However, once the academy is in trouble, they’ll run faster than anyone else.”
“However, those that said that they were going to betray the academy have yet to leave.”
Old Xuan was referring to Yang Ruoxu, Mo Qing and the others who were left on the Enforcement Platform.
Because of the appearance of the Iron Crown Old Man, this scene was abnormally ironic.
Old Xuan continued, “Although those disciples of the academy make it sound nice, in reality, it’s just an excuse for them to suppress and bully their fellow disciples.”
“They don’t have any feelings for their fellow sect mates who cultivate and live together. How can we really expect them to stay and suffer with the academy when they’re so vicious?”
Lin Xuanji raised his brow slightly. “In that case, we have to thank that old man with the iron crown instead? No matter what, that old man was ruthless enough to kill many academy disciples earlier on!”
Old Xuan smiled gently. “If you observe carefully, you’ll realize that this Iron Crown Old Man did not kill the innocent.”
“The people he killed were either those who bullied Yang Ruoxu and Mo Qing or some cultivators who kicked them while they were down.”
“He didn’t even hurt the silent disciples of the academy. Instead, he left a trace of life for them.”
“Indeed!”
Lin Xuanji looked at it for a while before nodding.
From the looks of it, the Iron Crown Old Man killed Zhang Hua and the others not because of their opinions of whether the Sect Master of the Academy should be killed.
The Iron Crown Old Man wanted to kill Zhang Hua and the others to stand up for Yang Ruoxu!
On the Enforcement Platform.
Mo Qing and the others hurried forward and removed the chains on Yang
Ruoxu and Xu Ye, helping them down.
The heavy rain fell on them but did not cause any damage.
The Iron Crown Old Man still did not leave. He stood in midair the entire time with his eyes closed, emitting the terrifying aura of an Emperor realm expert.
Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow hugged each other.
He survived.
However, Yang Ruoxu’s cultivation was already crippled.
Under the sword rain, Heaven and Earth Academy had already turned into ruins.
Apart from the few people on the Enforcement Platform, there were some disciples of the academy who did not leave and stayed in the ruins.
There were also some disciples of the academy who had already escaped but returned.
No matter what, they still had an inseparable relationship with Heaven and Earth Academy.
Of course, there were very few disciples that remained.
The destruction of Heaven and Earth Academy was a foregone conclusion.
Furthermore, the Iron Crown Old Man did not leave in midair the entire time. No one knew if he would attack again and start a massacre!
Every single cultivator who remained on the ruins of the academy took a huge risk and endured immense pressure!
The sword rain lasted for an entire day and night.
Finally, it stopped.
The Iron Crown Old Man opened his eyes and descended on the Enforcement Platform in a flash.
Mo Qing had a nervous expression and stood up immediately, shielding Yang Ruoxu and the others.
There were not many legacy disciples left. Although she knew that she could not defend against the Iron Crown Old Man, she still had to stand out!
“Don’t be nervous.”
The Iron Crown Old Man’s tone was gentle as he nodded at Mo Qing. Thereafter, he looked at Yang Ruoxu who was behind her. “Yang Ruoxu, if I’m not wrong, you should have cultivated the Righteousness Sutra.”
Yang Ruoxu nodded.
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “I’m from the Sword World and my Dao title is Iron Crown. I advanced to the Emperor realm five million years ago. Are you willing to join the Sword World?”
Those words confirmed everyone’s guess.
The person before them was indeed an Emperor realm expert!
Furthermore, the Iron Crown Old Man took the initiative to invite Yang Ruoxu to join the Sword World!
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was delighted.
The Iron Crown Old Man continued, “The Righteousness Sutra you cultivate is most suitable for the Sword Dao. If you join the Sword World, you can be my personal disciple and I’ll impart the Dharmic Dao to you personally.”
Many disciples of the academy were shocked.
An Emperor expert wanted to take the initiative to take in Yang Ruoxu as his personal disciple and impart his Dharmic Dao to him!
What kind of opportunity was that?
Yang Ruoxu was stunned.
If it was anyone else, they would have been overjoyed and kowtowed.
However, he still had incomprehensible nostalgia and feelings for Heaven and Earth Academy and this familiar homeland.
The reason why he questioned the Sect Master of the Academy was because the Sect Master of the Academy was in the wrong.
However, he had never thought of leaving the academy.
More than anyone else, he wanted the academy to become better.
“In the Sword World, you will definitely not suffer such slander, bullying and grievances.”
The Iron Crown Old Man continued, “Your aptitude and talent are not top-notch.”
Pausing for a moment, he added, “However, you’re very good. It’s a blessing for the Sword World to have you. It’s my fortune to be able to take you in as my disciple as well.”
Everyone was moved when they heard that!
