The old dean finally moved at this moment. His figure moved up and down as he quickly approached the ruins and floated quietly in the air.
"All students who entered the academy, leave this place immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the academy immediately."
Even though the old Dean was extremely old, his strength had already reached the pinnacle. His words were like an imperial edict in the academy. Even though the students wanted to see the final outcome, they still obeyed his orders. In just a few breaths, they immediately left the place, and not a single one of them could be seen.
Lin Xiu stood there quietly, then suddenly felt a mysterious aura firmly locked onto him.
"Old dean, what is the meaning of this?" Lin Xiu's voice became a little cold. He really couldn't understand. Logically speaking, this old dean should be a confidant of the Mu family, so why did he have such a murderous intent towards him?
"Young man, when it's possible to forgive, one should forgive. Although it's true that I'm a guest of the Mu family, I'm indebted to this girl's ancestor. That's why I've turned a blind eye to it. Right now, please spare her life." Although the old dean's words were very gentle, Lin Xiu felt a sense of threat from it.
"Haha, if the higher-ups of the Mu family knew that they actually raised an ingrate for so many years, I wonder what they would think." Lin Xiu's voice filled the air and his tone was filled with mockery.
"Since you don't want to drink a toast, then don't blame me for making you drink a forfeit." The old dean was also a little angry at this moment. In his opinion, after the battle, even if Lin Xiu was extremely strong, he would not be his opponent no matter what. How dare Lin Xiu speak to him like this, he really didn't know how to respect his elders!
He slowly floated down from the sky and waved his moon-white robe at the ruins below. Countless rubble suddenly floated quietly in the air, revealing the beautiful young lady who was on her last breath.
Who knew how many of the bones and tendons in the beautiful girl's body were broken. She could only lie there, her eyes unfocused, and an indescribable sorrow surged in her heart.
All these years, she had concealed her identity in the Elite Martial Academy and relied on her relationship with the old dean's elders. As long as she did not do anything overboard, the old dean would usually pretend not to see her. She did not expect that when Lin Xiu just arrived, he found out about their movements and caused the current situation.
However, what made her even more furious was that the old dean had clearly arrived earlier but was unwilling to make a move. He had to wait until she was almost dead before dispersing the students.
However, the old dean and Lin Xiu couldn't care less about what the beautiful young lady was thinking. The two of them had already started fighting again.
After the previous battle, Lin Xiu's aura was a little chaotic. Even though his physical body could fight against a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert, the beautiful young lady displayed extremely strong battle awareness in the battle just now, causing him to suffer a little. Even though he did not suffer any serious injuries, it still affected his combat strength.
The old dean was a veteran expert and had a great reputation in the Yun Xian Dynasty. Among the many guests of the Mu family, he was also one of the top existences in the Heavenly Yuan Realm.
After fighting for a while, blood flowed from the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth. His eyes were slightly cold. He did not expect that this old man, who had an extremely good reputation in the academy, would be so terrifying after revealing his fangs.
The old dean's speed was extremely fast. He floated behind Lin Xiu and gently patted Lin Xiu's back. It seemed extremely gentle, like an elder gently patting his unworthy descendant. However, in reality, it was extremely dangerous. As the palm landed on Lin Xiu's body, an extremely cold Yuan Qi instantly poured into Lin Xiu's dantian.
At this moment, Lin Xiu felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. Even though his cultivation was extremely strong, he could still feel the biting cold wind.
"Young man, after all, your cultivation time is too short. If you are given a little more time, I'm afraid that even I won't be your opponent. However, geniuses that haven't matured are still geniuses in the end. They are far from being strong." The old dean was still there at this time and sighed hypocritically. His eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Lin Xiu.
"An old man who doesn't die is a thief. You traitorous fellow, did you live your life like a dog?" Facing the old dean who did not understand the situation of the continent and still stood on the side of the Netherworld Palace, Lin Xiu did not have the thought of respecting the old and loving the young at all.
"The strength of the Palace Master has obtained the fortune of heaven and earth. He is invincible in the entire continent. Who can compete with him?" There was a hint of pride in the old dean's voice. In his opinion, joining the Netherworld Palace was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
Now that the entire continent was in a precarious situation, all the famous sects were thinking of ways to find the true nest of the Netherworld Palace. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Nine Nether had not fully recovered to completely destroy their conspiracy.
However, not everyone had the concept of righteousness and evil in their hearts. There were still many that had secretly sided with the Netherworld Palace. They wanted to wait for the Netherworld Palace to dominate the continent and obtain a position that they had never dared to imagine in the past. Without a doubt, the old Dean was one of those powerhouses.
Lin Xiu forcefully endured the waves of discomfort coming from his body and summoned the Heaven Yuan Chessboard from his spatial ring. Then, he quickly injected all his yuan qi into it.
This could be considered as his strongest trump card at the moment. He obtained the chessboard from the white-haired old man and directly sealed Elder Liu of the Black Demon Sect to death. No matter how strong the old dean was, he was still not beyond the Sky Yuan Realm. In Lin Xiu's opinion, there was a certain chance that he could turn the tide.
But to Lin Xiu's disappointment, although the Heaven Yuan Chessboard was extremely powerful, the white-haired old man in front of him was not easy to deal with. He summoned a pitch-black lamp that flickered with a faint light. The trace of flame on the lamp was exceptionally eye-catching in the silent night.
"Young man, you should know that this world is fair. You're not the only one who has great opportunities. I've lived for more than two hundred years, and the bridges I've crossed are more than the roads you've walked. Let's see what you can do to me now." The old dean waved his hand, and the lamp collided with the Heaven Yuan Chessboard.
The two extremely powerful weapons clashed in the sky and for a moment, neither could do anything to the other.
In fact, in a strict sense, the Tianyuan Chessboard was still much stronger than the lamp, but limited by Lin Xiu's own cultivation realm, he could not fully exert the power that the Tianyuan Chessboard should have, which led to the current stalemate.
Lin Xiu clenched his fists tightly and his nails pierced deep into the flesh of his palms. Even his strongest trump card was easily broken by the enemy. He did not know what else he could do to stop this sanctimonious person in front of him.
Right at this moment, the old dean seemed to have the intention to recruit Lin Xiu. His tone became gentle again as he patiently guided Lin Xiu.
"Lin Xiu, I've also heard of your name. In just a few months, you've become the most famous genius in the entire Eastern Xuan Region. If you're willing to join the Netherworld Palace, I believe that you'll definitely have a bright future. Why do you need to risk your life for the Mu Clan?"
In the old dean's view, Lin Xiu had only become a guest of the Mu family for a little more than a month and did not have any feelings of belonging to the Mu family. He should be able to persuade Lin Xiu to betray them easily.
But the old dean would never have imagined that Lin Xiu's biological mother was the former eldest daughter of the Mu family.
For the sake of his mother, he had to completely destroy the Netherworld Palace's conspiracy. Only then would he have some bargaining chips with the Mu family in the future.
Logically speaking, Lin Xiu had obtained the inheritance of the white-haired old man before he grew up. He could not forget the earnest expectations that the amiable old man had for him. He could not forget that the old man sacrificed himself for the sake of the continent and eventually disappeared from the world.
