Zhuge Keyun could sense the determination in Nie Tian's eyes, and he could vaguely sense an aura coming from the latter that made his heart tremble.
At this moment, he felt that the cultivator standing before him was no longer a Sage Monarch Tianyi, but an existence akin to a god!
Zhuge Keyun's momentary absent-mindedness left the other four principals bewildered.
"I promise you!" After that, Zhuge Keyun calmed down and spoke in a low voice. His expression revealed a strand of seriousness.
"Headmaster Zhuge, I'm afraid that this isn't appropriate." The others turned to look at Zhuge Keyun nervously. They didn't expect the latter to agree to Nie Tian's request.
What kind of sacred object was the Angel Blood Wings? How could the Angel race lend it to outsiders!
Were the five academies really going to fall out with the Angel Clan for Nie Tian?
"Everyone, I believe that you should know better than me what the Nine Seals of Origin means." Zhuge Keyun swept his gaze across the four of them and said, "The Nine Seals of Origin mustn't be lost. The five academies can't afford to take this risk."
"This …" The faces of the four of them froze, not knowing how they should respond.
While it was true that the Nine Seals of Origin mustn't be lost, the Angel Wings weren't to be underestimated either.
Zhuge Keyun looked at Shengguang Muxue and said, "Principal Xue Yi, you're a member of the Angel Clan, and your academy has a close relationship with the Angel Clan. You also have a high standing in the Angel Clan, so I'll have to trouble you to inform the Monarch of the Angel Clan about this matter."
"Un." Shengguang Muxue's face turned ugly, but she still nodded her head. "I'll inform the Monarch of the severity of the matter first. I'll inform you once there's any news."
"Is three days enough?" Nie Tian looked at Shengguang Muxue and asked.
"Three days!" Shengguang Muxue's face darkened. "Nie Tian, what do you think your Angel Wings are? Do you think that we can borrow them just because we want to?"
Zhuge Keyun frowned. "Nie Tian, the Angel Wings aren't something to be underestimated. The Angel Clan will surely gather the upper echelons of the various academies to discuss this matter. Three days isn't enough. "
"Five days at most. I can't wait that long," Nie Tian said with a cold and solemn expression.
"You …" Shengguang Muxue was infuriated, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She wanted nothing more than to skin Nie Tian alive.
Although he was a member of the Angel Race, this matter was related to the Angel Race's sacred relic. Once he spoke up and the Angel Race reacted strongly, he might even be treated as a traitor of the Angel Race.
However, Nie Tian wanted him to settle it within five days. How could he not be angry?
"Dean Blood Wing, don't be angry. I believe that since Nie Tian has persisted for five days, the situation must be urgent. Just do your best. "Zhuge Keyun waved his hand, signaling for Shengguang Muxue to calm down.
"This …" Shengguang Muxue was put in a spot. Five days was indeed too short.
"Mansion Lord Zhuge, please open the barrier." At that moment, Nie Tian thought for a bit and said indifferently.
Zhuge Keyun didn't know what to do, but he still opened the barrier.
With a smile, Nie Tian turned to a figure not too far away and called out, "Lord Huo, come over here."
That person had clearly been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing Nie Tian's call, he immediately walked over to Nie Tian's side.
He was no other than the city lord of Vast Cloud Sacred City, Huo Dongtai, who had made a huge bet with Nie Tian.
Back then, Nie Tian had made a bet with Huo Dongtai. If Nie Tian were to become the Martial Chief of the Five Halls, Huo Dongtai would have to serve him. If Nie Tian were to fail, he would have to hand over the Angel Sacred Token to Huo Dongtai.
Back then, Huo Dongtai agreed readily because he felt that it was impossible for Nie Tian to become the Martial Chief of the Five Halls.
But now, Nie Tian had already become the Martial Chief of the Five Halls, and he had won the bet.
Ever since the destruction of Vast Cloud Sacred City, Huo Dongtai had never left. He had been waiting for Nie Tian.
He was a man of his word, and he had to admit his defeat.
More importantly, he had personally witnessed Nie Tian's rise, and he felt that Nie Tian was someone worth following.
"Huo Dongtai, what are you doing here?" Shengguang Muxue was from the Angel Tribe, so it was clear that she recognized Huo Dongtai.
Huo Dongtai's complexion was a little ugly, but he still replied respectfully, "Lord Great Elder, I have some matters to attend to with Lord Nie Tian."
"Lord Great Elder?" Shengguang Muxue's face darkened once more. She sneered, "Does a mere Sage Monarch Tianyi deserve to be addressed as Lord Great Elder?"
She was one of the nine Great Elders of the Angel Tribe, so Huo Dongtai addressed her as Lord Great Elder.
But just what did Nie Tian do to deserve to be addressed as Lord Great Elder?
Huo Dongtai's complexion turned even uglier. He glanced at Nie Tian, not knowing how he should respond to Shengguang Muxue.
"City Lord Huo, give me your command medallion." Nie Tian, however, didn't seem to care at all.
"Yes." Huo Dongtai nodded and passed the Angel Sacred Token over with both hands.
Back then, after Nie Tian made a bet with him, he had passed the Angel Sacred Token to him. Huo Dongtai thought that the token would be in his hands forever, but he still ended up having to take it out.
"The Angel Sacred Token!" Shengguang Muxue's face warped in shock when she saw the token in Huo Dongtai's hand. "Huo Dongtai, why do you have the Angel Sacred Token?"
Before Huo Dongtai could reply, Nie Tian said with a smile, "It's mine."
"Yours?" Shengguang Muxue's face darkened. "That's impossible!"
The Angelic Sacred Token was the highest token of the Angelic Race. It represented the supreme authority of the Angelic Race. There were only nine Angelic Sacred Tokens in the entire Angelic Race. Even though he was the High Elder, he wasn't qualified to have an Angelic Sacred Token.
Nie Tian, an outsider, claimed that the Angel Medallion belonged to him. How was that possible?
Nie Tian looked at Shengguang Muxue and said, "I'm acquainted with Miss Lan Xunyi of the Holy Feather Race. She was the one who gave me the Angel Sacred Token."
"Your Highness!" Shengguang Muxue's eyes widened in shock.
She had never imagined that Nie Tian would be acquainted with the Angel Tribe's Holy Maiden.
"What's your relationship with the Holy Maiden?" Shengguang Muxue asked with a dark expression.
"That's not something you should be concerned about." Nie Tian replied coldly. He passed the Angel Sacred Token over and said, "Take the Angel Sacred Token with you. It should be able to help you."
Shengguang Muxue's face froze. She suppressed the rage in her eyes, but she still accepted the token.
"Great Elder, I'll have to trouble you to inform the God Monarch of your tribe that I'll be paying a visit to the Angel Tribe with the other deans in five days," Nie Tian said with an indisputable tone.
"You …" Shengguang Muxue's face darkened. It was clear that Nie Tian was intending to bring Zhuge Keyun and the others to pressure the Angel Tribe.
By the side, Zhuge Keyun narrowed his eyes and said, "Principal Xue Yi, just tell the God Monarch about it."
He was a little surprised by Nie Tian's domineering attitude.
However, since the matter had come to this, it was best to resolve it as soon as possible.
