"In that case, there's no longer a need for the Azure Faction to exist!"
Her voice drifted into the ears of those from the White Deer Institute, causing them to feel a chill in their hearts.
The old woman was threatening to wipe out the entire White Deer Institute.
Since you dared to protect a sinner who disrespected the successor of the Azure Emperor, what's the point of keeping the Azure Faction alive?
"Who are you exactly?" That supreme elder stared at the old woman. Each and every one of them exuded a towering aura that was incomparably terrifying. Just this level of strength alone was sufficient to create a storm of blood in the White Deer Institute. Not only that, there was obviously someone behind them. That person was definitely capable of leveling the entire White Deer Institute to the ground.
"I'm a protector of the Azure Emperor's successor." The old woman coldly replied. After which, she turned her gaze onto Di Cheng and the rest. The four of them had already been surrounded, and the terrifying aura they exuded made them feel a sense of death looming over them.
"We're only observing, we definitely won't do anything to the successor of the Azure Emperor. Sir, can you please show mercy?" Another supreme elder pleaded.
The appearance of these people undoubtedly proved Qin Wentian's identity. There shouldn't be any mistake.
"I believe you guys, but we're also observing. These people offended their superiors, not only did they not have the most basic respect, they even dared to act against the person with the Azure Emperor Token.
As the sound of the old woman's voice faded, a corpse fell from the air. Upon seeing the corpse, the hearts of the crowd shuddered. This corpse was actually the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign Inscriptionist who fought against Qin Wentian.
Those from the White Deer Institute were observing, so were they.
Since these people were so disrespectful, how could he not kill them today to establish his prestige? If not, thousands of years later, these people would have completely forgotten about the prestige of the Azure Emperor. They wouldn't even have the most basic respect for the successor of the Azure Emperor.
"I'm a descendant of the Di Clan, the direct line of descent of the Azure Emperor." Di Cheng roared as he stared at the old woman, feeling the cold killing intent radiating from her.
The old woman lowered her head, sweeping her gaze over to Di Cheng as she icily stated, "As a descendant of the Di Clan, you should remember the Azure Emperor's last words. You know your crimes, but you still chose to violate them.
After saying that, the old woman waved the snake staff in her hand. A terrifying demonic snake roared and rushed out, opening its mouth wide in an attempt to devour Di Cheng.
"No!" Di Cheng's face turned pale. He didn't expect these people to really want to kill him. He didn't want to die.
A terrifying devouring power spread out. Di Cheng wanted to flee, but he was involuntarily swallowed into the demon snake's stomach. His entire body disappeared. It was an extremely tragic sight.
This scene was too horrifying to behold. Di Cheng's guard wanted to flee, yet a withered old man blocked his path. Blasting out with a palm strike, a terrifying demonic qi enveloped the guard, and in an instant, the body of the guard was actually melted into nothingness by the demonic qi.
"What a terrifying willpower." Qin Wentian could sense that extremely strong willpower. If he were to touch even a little bit of it, he would probably die.
He finally understood why Di Yi was only responsible for the protection of the Emperor Star Academy's map. Only the Refinement Grounds of Fairy Qingmei could unlock the secrets of the map.
The Azure Emperor had already predicted that after his death, the various transcendent powers wouldn't be so easily controlled by a successor of the younger generation. Fairy Qingmei was the person the Azure Emperor trusted the most. She was the one protecting his inheritance in the dark.
Di Cheng and his guards were slaughtered in a domineering manner. When Di Feng witnessed this scene, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He had already guessed where these people came from.
Who would have thought that Fairy Qingmei's shadow would always be there. If this was the case, it would be even more difficult for him to become the leader of the Azure Emperor.
As for Bailu Tong and Bailu You, their countenances turned ashen as they stared at Di Cheng's death. A sense of death enveloped their entire bodies.
How could this be? Never would they have thought that in order to obtain the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, they would have to face the threat of death.
"Since you guys are the protectors of the Azure Emperor, why must you be so ruthless?" Bailu Tong's father took a step forwards. How could he allow his son to die in front of him?
"Kill him." The baleful aura of the middle-aged woman standing in the air was still as cold as ever. Her gaze actually caused the clan elder to not dare to act rashly. Just the gaze of this middle-aged woman was enough to cause one's heart to palpitate. Her strength was definitely extremely terrifying.
"Haha." The seductive woman giggled as she flew downwards. The skinny old man waved his hand as a corrosive baleful aura enveloped the entire space.
"Buzz."
A pair of terrifying wings materialized behind Bailu Tong's back as he soared through the air. However, he only saw a burly man stomping on the air, causing a thunderous boom to echo out. Bailu Tong's body was forcefully pushed back by the force of the pressure.
The void was forcibly sealed by that terrible gravitational force.
"You've gone too far." A terrifying aura gushed forth from Bailu Tong's father.
"You'd better persuade him." The middle aged woman glanced at the other elders and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't care if White Deer Academy loses one elder."
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would die in the White Deer Academy, die because of these people who came here to establish their dominance.
"Back then, the Azure Emperor didn't leave behind the 'hidden' faction for you guys to enjoy a peaceful life. It was to welcome the appearance of the Azure Emperor's successor, to lead the Azure Faction on a path of revival. As the descendants of the Azure Faction, you guys naturally have the authority to test the successor. But if you guys don't even have the respect to respect him, the loss of the Azure Faction wouldn't matter."
The middle-aged woman's voice was as cold as ever as she continued, "The White Deer Academy isn't the only branch of the hidden faction. Now, since Young Master Qin has arrived here, you guys have the authority to decide how to follow him, and how much support you should give him. However, remember this: without the support of your White Deer Academy, the rise of the Azure Faction wouldn't be affected. At that time, don't blame me for not reminding you all. If there comes a day when the Azure Faction reunifies the entire Grand Xia, they would have to reorganize themselves. At that time, the choice would no longer be in your hands. Think carefully, if you want to be independent, you have to see if you have the qualifications to do so."
Her words were laced with a hint of threat. Right now, your White Deer Academy had the authority to choose how much support you should give to Qin Wentian. In fact, Qin Wentian might not even be able to mobilize your White Deer Academy. But when he has the strength to command all the hidden factions, leading them to rise to power, would your White Deer Academy still be able to stand alone?
At that time, how they would treat the White Deer Academy would depend on Qin Wentian's attitude.
"Regarding today's matter, my White Deer Academy is in the wrong." From afar, two silhouettes could be seen walking over. They were originally in closed-door seclusion, but now that someone had reported to them, they immediately rushed over.
Right now, all five elders of the White Deer Institute were present.
Bailu Yi's great-grandfather, who was also the clan leader of the White Deer Institute, took a few steps forward, staring at the middle-aged woman as he stated, "I've already heard of the matter. The White Deer Institute has no objections to your decision. They were disrespectful to the successor of our ancestor, and should be killed."
As the clan leader, he knew what he had to do. Regardless of whether the White Deer Institute chose to fully support Qin Wentian or not, at the very least, they couldn't afford to offend him. After all, with the support of this power, it would be difficult for Qin Wentian not to rise.
Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. When it came to matters that implicated the interests of the White Deer Institute, talent alone wasn't enough. He didn't believe that without the Celestial Lake Palace's domineering attitude, the patriarch of the White Deer Institute would personally apologize.
"Puchi!" A light sound rang out. The crowd turned their gazes towards Bailu Tong, as many of them drew in a deep breath.
An elder of the White Deer Institute had fallen here today.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that bringing a fourth-ranked Grandmaster to pressure Qin Wentian would result in his own death.
Too many experts had perished in this place today.
"Young Master Qin, is there anyone else you wish to settle today's matter?" the White Deer Patriarch politely asked as he looked at Qin Wentian.
"Senior, you can just call me Wentian." Qin Wentian smiled. "If Senior doesn't mind, can I address you as great-grandfather like Little Yi?"
"Sure, in that case, this old man will take advantage of you." Seeing how polite Qin Wentian was, the White Deer Patriarch's mood softened. This young man wasn't bad, he didn't have any overbearing attitude.
"What are you saying, great-grandfather? Wentian didn't expect things to turn out this way. I have to apologize to great-grandfather," Qin Wentian said. Qin Wentian bowed, only to see the White Deer Patriarch waving his hands, "It's this old man's fault for not being strict enough. It has nothing to do with you."
"As the Grand Elder, I can't absolve myself from the blame," the large-eyed elder added. Such a situation wasn't beneficial to either side, causing the White Deer Institute and Qin Wentian to have a grudge. It would be best if they could resolve this now.
"The Grand Elder has always treated me well. Wentian will remember this. Today's matter has nothing to do with the Grand Elder," the large-eyed elder said.
Now, in order to establish their authority, the Celestial Lake Palace had killed the main culprits, Bailu Tong and his son. Not only that, the large-eyed elder had always treated him well. Qin Wentian didn't want to create a rift between him and the White Deer Institute because of this matter.
Bluntly speaking, the White Deer Institute had disrespected him, but their positions were different. There was no need for him to hold a grudge.
The eyes of the middle-aged woman in the air flickered with gentleness. She was extremely satisfied with Qin Wentian's actions.
Today, she had established her authority. The Celestial Lake Palace would be the villain.
But for Qin Wentian, he wanted to become the leader of the Azure Faction. Naturally, he couldn't afford to fall out with the power he would control in the future.
Shifting her gaze, the middle-aged woman's eyes landed on Di Feng. The sharpness in her eyes intensified as she stated, "Tell your elders that it's best if they remember the Azure Emperor's will."
Di Feng's countenance was as calm as ever. He bowed slightly to the middle-aged woman as he replied, "Junior will listen to your teachings, I will definitely pass this message to my elders."
The middle-aged woman's eyes gleamed with sharpness as she witnessed Di Feng's performance. Di Feng was the future leader of the Azure Faction, and as expected, he had extraordinary points. Maybe, he would become a strong competitor for Qin Wentian in the future.
However, to Qin Wentian, this was also a challenge. If he wanted to achieve what the Azure Emperor had done in the past, he would have to face many difficulties!
"Junior will return now to inform my elders about the matter regarding the successor of the Azure Emperor. Farewell." Di Feng clasped his hands to the crowd, before bowing to the various elders of the White Deer Institute, before turning and departing!
