This was a very big room. All the chairs were arranged in a circle, surrounding a table and a chair in the middle of the hall. In the middle of the hall was an old man. This old man was wearing a robe, he looked very old. His hair and beard were already white, his face was also covered with age spots. He looked like an old man with one foot in the grave.
Aside from this old man, there were also several hundred people sitting in the hall. These people were divided into sections, some of them were discussing in low voices.
At this time, the old man sitting in the middle took a wooden hammer and knocked on the table a few times. The sound made the entire hall quiet down. Everyone looked at the old man. The old man put down the hammer and said, "I've gathered everyone here today because of the Dabei City's matter. Everyone already knows the cause of this matter. But no matter what the reason is, now that Dabei City's matter has already happened, let's talk about what we should do." The old man nodded and said, "Alright.
The hall was very quiet. Although the old man's voice wasn't very loud, everyone could still hear him clearly. However, no one spoke.
The old man looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Don't keep quiet. Dabe City has been very respectful to the Sacred Institute over the years. Now that something like this has happened, don't you all want to say something?"
Someone opened his mouth and said, "Dean, we all know the cause of this matter. If the Wen Clan didn't want to deal with the Crane Field Grass, then this wouldn't have happened. I think that the Wen Clan should take full responsibility for this matter."
Another person stood up and said, "Dean, Teacher Wu is right. The Wen Clan should take full responsibility for this matter."
A cold snort was heard. "Hmph, the dean is talking about how to resolve this matter, not who should be responsible. Now that the entire Dabei City has been destroyed, the methods used are so cruel that it makes one's hair stand on end. We should be thinking about how to deal with the enemy, not who should be responsible."
Teacher Wu said, "If we don't take responsibility, then how can we deal with this matter? And do you think that this matter is easy to deal with? The enemy destroyed the Dabe City. Moreover, the Dabe Clan's River Breaking Expert has been confirmed dead. What do you think we should do now? Will the people of the city listen to us and deal with the Crane Field Grass? They don't dare, so I think that whoever caused this mess should be the one to solve it. "
His words immediately caused a lot of people in the hall to agree. This was because Teacher Wu was right. At this time, no one in the city-states would listen to the Sacred Court and deal with Zhao Hai. They were afraid of Zhao Hai's retaliation. This was because Zhao Hai's retaliation was too terrifying.
The person who spoke before coldly snorted and said, "It's precisely because of this that we have to deal with the Crane Field Grass. Because Zhao Hai is the most serious provocation to our Sacred Academy. We have to deal with the Crane Field Grass in the shortest time. Otherwise, where will the dignity of our Sacred Academy be? As for who is responsible, it won't be too late to do so after the matter is over."
Teacher Wu looked at that person and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Guan, I think you misunderstood something. I didn't say that we won't solve the problem of the Crane Grasses. What I'm saying is that we should solve the problem of the people who caused it. The Sacred Institute isn't a protective umbrella. Do you think that the Sacred Institute will solve all the problems caused by the people of the Sacred Institute? Right now, the people of the various city-states are complaining. They think that the Sacred Institute is meddling too much. If the Sacred Institute continues like this, sooner or later, the other city-states will be disgusted with us. That's why I said that whoever caused the trouble should be the one to solve it. Is it because of the Heavenly Crane Grass that the Dabe city-state was attacked by the Sacred Institute? No, it's because of the Wen Clan. If the Wen Clan didn't want to use the Dabe City to deal with the Crane Field Grass, then would the Crane Field Grass deal with the Dabe City? In the past, the Crane Field Grass didn't go on a killing spree in Boulder City. This was because the Boulder City Lord had a good chat with the Crane Field Grass. If it wasn't for the Wen Clan, then the Boulder City wouldn't have had a conflict with the Crane Field Grass. The reason why the Crane Field Grass was retaliating against the Crane Field Grass in the Dabe City was because of the Dabe City. Wen Donglai even personally went to the Dabe City to deal with the Crane Field Grass. This caused the Crane Field Grass to retaliate. Let's not talk about whether the Crane Field Grass was right or wrong. What I want to ask is, why did Wen Donglai deal with the Crane Field Grass in the Dabe City? Could it be that he didn't know that ordinary people would be injured in the city? "
Teacher Wu's words gained the approval of many teachers. These teachers weren't fools, they knew what Wen Donglai was planning. If this matter went smoothly, then they could use this matter to attack the Wen Clan. However, things went wrong now. Zhao Hai wasn't injured. Instead, the Sacred Academy was in an awkward situation. This became an excuse for Teacher Wu to attack the Wen Clan.
The people of the Wen Clan were speechless. They couldn't refute Teacher Wu's words. After a while, someone opened his mouth and said, "Although this matter was caused by the Wen Clan, the Crane Field Grass's retaliation was too crazy. Tens of millions of people died, this is an unchangeable fact. Everyone, what kind of crazy person would do something like this? We can't let someone like the Crane Field Grass live in this world. As an existence revered by the entire Spiritual Weapon Realm, we have the responsibility to get rid of this lunatic. Keeping this lunatic in the Spiritual Weapon Realm would only cause more deaths."
"Lunatic? I don't think Tian Crane Grass has killed any innocent people other than Dabei City-State. Crane Field Grass's madness was completely forced by someone. I still have the same words, whoever caused this matter should solve it by themselves. The Sacred Academy shouldn't clean up anyone's mess! "
"Ridiculous, if a person who killed tens of millions of people isn't a lunatic, then who is? The Sacred Academy has the obligation to get rid of this lunatic. Otherwise, more people will think that the Sacred Academy is incompetent! "
… …
For a moment, the hall was in a mess. In the beginning, only Teacher Wu and Teacher Guan were quarreling. Later, everyone in the hall started quarreling. The hall was in chaos.
The Old Dean was sitting there with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. He didn't seem to care about the quarrel in the hall. Although the quarrel in the hall wouldn't lead to any result, after a long time, the Old Dean still sat there with his eyes closed.
Finally, after half an hour of quarreling, the Old Dean picked up the wooden hammer and knocked on the table. The people in the hall slowly quieted down. The Old Dean looked at the people in the hall and said, "Alright, stop quarreling. Quarreling won't solve the problem. What Teacher Wu said is reasonable. Whoever caused this matter should solve it by himself. Regarding Crane Field Grass, the Wen Clan and the Dongfang Clan caused it, so it will be settled by your two clans. However, the Academy won't ignore it. Crane Field Grass has the strength to kill a Broken River Level expert, which proves that he is very strong. Therefore, the Academy will send 24 Swift Blades to help you deal with Crane Field Grass. But if your two clans really want to deal with Crane Field Grass, then it's best to ask the Old Ancestors of your two clans to take action. The Academy won't send too many experts to help you, this is the limit of what the Academy can do. Alright, this matter ends here, disperse."
Obviously, the Old Dean's status in the Academy was very high. Nobody would object to what he said. Therefore, the people in the hall didn't make a sound. After the Old Dean left, they dispersed.
Teacher Wu's expression wasn't bad because he had achieved his goal this time. Although the academy had sent out the 24 Swift Blades, and their strength was very strong, they were much stronger than the academy's full support of the Wen Clan. Although the 24 Swift Blades were strong, the Crane Grasses were definitely not to be trifled with. Therefore, Teacher Wu had the upper hand in this battle with the Wen Clan.
On the other hand, the Wen and Dongfang Clans' expressions weren't ugly. Although the Academy didn't fully help them this time, they also didn't punish them. They just let them deal with this matter themselves. They were very clear that this was the biggest concession that the Academy could make. Because of the relationship between the two clans, the Academy had fallen into an awkward situation. It was already good that the Academy didn't blame them.
After the Wen and Dongfang Clans returned home, the Patriarchs of the Wen and Dongfang Clans immediately gathered together. The Wen Clan's Patriarch was called Wen Daotu, while the Dongfang Clan's Patriarch was called Dongfang Yulong. Both of them were in their fifties. Because of the good relationship between the two clans, their relationship was naturally very close. And this time, the two clans acted together to deal with Zhao Hai. Therefore, no matter what happened, the two clans would have to shoulder it together.
Wen Daotu looked at Dongfang Yulong and said in a deep voice, "This time, the academy didn't blame us and let us solve this matter ourselves. This is already the biggest concession. The dean is already taking care of us. If we still can't solve the Crane Field Grass, then our families won't have a good time in the academy."
Dongfang Yulong nodded, then he sighed and said, "I didn't think that Zhao Hai would be so difficult to deal with. Alright, it seems like we have to ask the Ancestor to make a move. In any case, Crane Grasses must die. If he doesn't die, then our two families won't have a good time. Moreover, I can see that the Dean is very angry. After all, because of this matter, the Holy Courtyard's position has become very awkward. If we don't resolve this matter well, then even if Crane Grasses doesn't deal with us, the Dean wouldn't let us off. It seems like if we don't show our strength this time, then I'm afraid we won't be able to pass this hurdle."
If we don't use our trump card, then we won't be able to deal with it. "Wen Daotu nodded, then he frowned and said," Where did this Crane Field Grass come from? And that Zhao Hai, where did they come from? Why are they so strong? Why haven't we heard of them before? Moreover, I heard that they were Ascetics. When did Ascetics become so strong? This is too strange. "
Dongfang Yulong replied, "Now isn't the time to think about this. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. The sooner it is done, the better it will be for us. If we delay for too long, then I'm afraid the Academy won't agree. What do you plan to do?"
Wen Daotu replied, "Ever since the incident with Dabei City, Crane Granny and the others have disappeared. Nobody knows where they went. If they continue to hide, then it will be troublesome. How about this, if Crane Granny and the others don't appear in a short time, then we can only attack the Lost Soul Mountains. If they appear, then we will directly attack them. In any case, the Lost Soul Mountains have been unified and the Lost Soul City-State has been established. Moreover, at this time, the other city-states in the continent are very sensitive to our movements. Although they understand that we are going to attack the Lost Soul City-State, I'm afraid that the other city-states will also have some ideas. Therefore, unless it's absolutely necessary, it's better to not reach out to the Lost Soul City-State. Let's first deal with Crane Granny's matter, then we'll have the opportunity to deal with the Lost Soul City-State."
Dongfang Yulong nodded and said, "Just as I thought, I don't know why the experts of the Lost Soul City-State were all subdued by Zhao Hai. Moreover, they seem to be very loyal. Even some people who were originally sent by other clans have now submitted to Zhao Hai. Moreover, they are very loyal to him. Their clans sent people to contact them but they were all captured. Therefore, it won't be easy to deal with the Lost Soul City-State. Moreover, the City Lord of the Lost Soul City-State, I'm afraid that Zhao Hai isn't that easy to deal with. Crane Granny has the strength to kill a Broken River Realm expert, so Zhao Hai's strength shouldn't be that weak. Therefore, we still have to be more careful. Let's first look for Crane Granny. If we can't find Crane Granny, then it won't be too late to attack the Lost Soul City-State. Even if we want to attack the Lost Soul City-State, we still have to be fully prepared."
Wen Daotu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Our Wen Clan still has 20 Sky Dance Realm experts. This time, to deal with the Crane Field Grass, those below Sky Dance Realm shouldn't go. That's just sending themselves to death. You?"
Dongfang Yulong said in a deep voice, "Our Dongfang family can send out eighteen people. This is already the limit. If we send out eighteen people, there will only be three Sky Dance experts in the family, including me."
Wen Daotu nodded and said, "Our clan also sent twenty people, including me, we only have two Sky Dancing Realm experts. How about this, we'll take action now, we'll send people to find Crane Field and the others, and at the same time send a letter to the Ancestor, asking the two Ancestors of your two clans to work together and eliminate Crane Field. If we can't, our clans will lose face, and our days in the academy won't be easy."
Dongfang Yulong nodded, then he looked at Wen Daotu and said, "Our clans are intimately interdependent. This time, we're going all out. If we can get through this, then we'll take care of our clan's disciples. If you want to take care of them, then we'll take care of them as well. I've discovered that the academy's disciples are too arrogant, this won't do."
Wen Daotu nodded, then he sighed and said, "Right, it's time to take care of them. Just wait and see, it's not just our two clans, the other clans will also take care of their disciples. The academy has been peaceful for too long, they've already forgotten that they need to be nervous." Dongfang Yulong nodded, then he cupped his fist towards Wen Daotu before turning around and leaving.
