On the peak of the jade mountain, Hall of Supreme Learning.
The directorates, chancellors, and secretaries of all the halls of Imperial College were all present and all of them had a gloomy expression. From time to time, there would be people coming in to report and hearing the news, everyone's expression became even uglier. Only on the Saint's Seat, the young patriarch still had a calm expression and didn't care about winning or losing.
At this moment, news came in one after another, "Reporting to Grand Chancellor: Daozi of Dao Sect has defeated the second prince!"
"Daozi has defeated the son of King of Southern Peace, Jiu Yin!"
"Daozi has defeated King of Western Peace, Princess Duoduo!"
"Heavenly Policy Hall's Ling Shi Ji has also been defeated!"
"Lin Qiuhe has been injured by Daozi!"
…
After a long time, no one came to report, but everyone's expression was extremely unsightly. No one came to report which meant that no imperial scholars continued to challenge Daozi Lin Xuan. The scholars of Imperial College had already lost their arrogance and drive because of this young Daozi and could only look on helplessly as he blocked the door.
An imperial chancellor frowned, "Our Imperial College has been established for so many years and has taught countless experts who are the pillars of the empire. Could it be that we can't find a person who can contend against Daozi?"
A directorate shook his head, "There are, there are always three to five geniuses who are not inferior to Daozi of Dao Sect. However, these people are no longer scholars. They have left Imperial College and went to the imperial court to become officials. Our Imperial College is different from these sects of the martial world. There's no such thing as leaving a sect in the martial world but once they leave our Imperial College, they are no longer scholars. "
Everyone let out a shaky breath and Daoist Ling Yun sighed, "Are we going to let this Daozi block the door? Isn't that too cowardly?"
Everyone was silent.
Suddenly, Zen Master Fa Qing of Hall of Azure Sun said, "Report this matter to the National Division as soon as possible and let the disciples of the National Division come. Who knows, they might be able to defeat Daozi."
"Great monk, the disciples of the National Division are not our imperial scholars. Even if they defeat Daozi of Dao Sect, could Dao Sect still be convinced?"
At this moment, a ship leisurely docked at the peak of the jade mountain.
A few young people walked down from the ship and went straight to the Hall of Supreme Learning. The person in the lead bowed and said, "Teachers, we are disciples of the National Division. When the National Division heard that the Daoist of Dao Sect had come to cause trouble, they ordered us to come."
All the chancellors, directorates, and secretaries in the hall looked at one another before looking at the young patriarch in unison. One of the secretaries said solemnly, "Grand Chancellor, the disciples of the National Division are not the scholars of our Imperial College. Whether they can represent our Imperial College to battle or not, this matter still requires Grand Chancellor's decision."
Chancellor Ba Shan had a huge beard on his face and suddenly slammed the table in protest, "Nonsense! So what if a disciple of the National Division defeated a Daoist? The disciples of the National Division were cultivated according to the old customs. They were taught by the National Division alone, and were no different from the disciples of the sects! If this matter were to spread and reach the ears of the Dao Sect, the Dao Sect would definitely rebel! The Daoist sects rebelled, and the righteous sects in the world rebelled! Who among us should bear the responsibility for this crime? Who can afford it? "
That secretary said angrily, "You are the chancellor, you are in the right. What do you think we should do?"
"What should we do?"
Chancellor Ba Shan laughed loudly and said sternly, "No matter what we do, it will still be better than you secretaries! You secretaries look after those lousy books on the first floor every day and call it researching paths, skills, and divine arts but what have you researched all these years? If you guys have the ability to research paths, skills, and divine arts that can restrain Precelestial Supreme Mystery Technique, our scholars wouldn't be in such an awkward situation where we can't even do anything when other people are blocking our door! "
In Hall of Supreme Learning, all the secretaries flew into a rage and berated, "Didn't we still impart the paths, skills, and divine arts that we had researched to you guys? It's you directorates and chancellors who are useless, unable to teach good scholars! "
"Well said! For example, what does this Hall of Supreme Healing do? Teaching scholars to refine pills and gather herbs every day and not doing any proper work. Every now and then, one scholar would vomit blood from being poisoned and another scholar's face would turn black from being poisoned! And they still have the face to receive their salary! "
All the imperial physicians in Hall of Supreme Healing were also directorates and were furious when they heard what was said. Imperial Physician You was so angry that he was trembling and said with a trembling voice, "If it wasn't for us Hall of Supreme Healing saving the dying and treating the injured, more than half of these scholars would have died just from being poisoned or going into qi deviation. The secretaries are useless, I asked you guys to organize the prescriptions of pills and medicine from all the sects but you guys didn't hand them over. Empress Dowager's illness was cured by a brat. Why don't you guys die? "
"Old thing, you should be the one to die first. If your Hall of Supreme Healing can't cure Empress Dowager's illness and it was cured by a brat, why don't you pluck out an eyelash and hang yourself? "
…
Everyone in Hall of Supreme Learning started to quarrel and the more they quarreled, the more furious they became. The few disciples of the National Division looked at each other in dismay.
After a moment, Chancellor Ba Shan suddenly smiled, "Alright, alright, stop quarreling. We can't come up with an idea but isn't there someone in charge here? Grand Chancellor, what do you think? "
Everyone looked at the young patriarch who was sitting on the Saint's Seat and the young patriarch rubbed his temples. It was obvious that he was having a headache from their quarreling and said, "The disciples of the National Division are not the imperial scholars after all. If the disciples of the National Division were to fight and win against the Daozi of Dao Sect, Dao Sect would also seize the chance to rebel. In this case, they would have a good reason to rebel and the empire would fall into a passive state instead. Therefore, let's invite the disciples of the National Division over. "
Everyone was slightly stunned and didn't understand what he meant. Even the disciples of the National Division also gave a puzzled expression.
"Dao Sect is full of stubborn people."
The young patriarch stood up and smiled, "They only recognize stubborn logic. If we want to cheat them, we can't cheat them. Since that's the case, let's do it with real swords and spears. It's been a long time since the disciples of the National Division have given lectures in our Imperial College, right? In the past, he would come here frequently to impart his path, sword skills, and divine arts. Some scholars could even be considered as half of his disciples. You guys go back and invite the disciples of the National Division over to impart knowledge to the imperial scholars. "
The disciples of the National Division were stunned and bowed in acknowledgement. They left the hall one after another and boarded the ship to leave.
Chancellor Ba Shan pondered and smiled, "Grand Chancellor, what you mean is to let the disciples of the National Division come over to impart sword skills and divine arts and let the disciples of our Imperial College defeat the Daozi of Dao Sect?"
