"Principal Zhang!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan arrived at the center of the training ground, Elder Mi and the others immediately walked up to him.
Zhang Xuan nodded. Turning his gaze to the elevated platform, he saw Mu shi and an elder standing on it.
The elder seemed to be in his fifties, and his cultivation was as vast as the ocean. Just like the Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King, he had reached Saint 4-dan as well.
Saint 3-dan Embryonic Soul realm was also known as the Nascent Soul realm. One's Origin Core was no longer in the form of a pill but that of an infant. Upon reaching this realm, one's comprehension of the world would deepen, allowing one to draw in the energy of the world with a single breath.
Saint 4-dan was the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's Origin Soul evolved into a Primordial Spirit.
It was extremely difficult to kill a cultivator of this realm. This was also the reason why Zhang Xuan intentionally had the two Kings kill one another, thus wiping out all of the Otherworldly Demons in one fell swoop.
To think that the master teacher who had reached Nascent Soul realm would be a top-notch expert even in Qingyuan Conferred Empire. Why would he be here?
"This person over here should be the Seven Star high-tier Wu Rufeng, Wu Shi, right?" Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message over.
"Yes!"
Elder Mi nodded. "He is the vice head of the Qingyuan Conferred Empire Mingshi Tang Academy, and he has an inflexible character who abhors evil …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to introduce the other party, Wu Shi placed his hands behind his back and gazed down coldly at him. "Elder Mi, is your principal here yet? You sure are putting on airs to make us wait here! "
"I … should be the haughty principal you were talking about …" Zhang Xuan said.
Zhang Xuan stepped forward and bowed deeply as a bitter smile crept onto his lips.
After receiving the news, he had to help Wei Ruyan consume some medicine, so he arrived a little late. Judging from the looks of the others in the surroundings, they should have been here for quite some time already.
"You are the principal?"
Wu Shi glanced at Zhang Xuan, and his eyebrows shot up. "Nascent Saint pinnacle? It seems like the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy is no longer what it used to be! "
He had come from the headquarters and knew that the academy had finally appointed a young man in his twenties as the dean. He had wanted to see who that person was, but who knew that when he arrived at the academy, he did not even see a shadow of that person.
In fact, even after the Assembly Bell was rung, it took at least thirty minutes for him to arrive … More importantly, his clothes were covered in dust, and it seemed like he hadn't even changed out of them at all …
That was extremely neglectful!
Besides, his cultivation was only at Nascent Saint pinnacle, not even reaching Saint realm yet … How could he possibly become the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy with such strength?
This was too childish!
When Mu shi left, Zhang Xuan was still in the midst of the inauguration ceremony, so he was unaware of the matter regarding the spirit beasts and saint beasts of the Cloudmist Ridge. Besides, Zhang Xuan had never told Wu Shi about it either. As such, the latter had no idea that even though Zhang Xuan was still young, he had already gone through many things that even the heads of the Master Teacher Pavilion paled in comparison to.
"Wu Shi …"
Hearing those words, Mu shi felt a little awkward. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Shi possesses incredible talent, and on top of that, he has a powerful teacher …"
"Humph!"
But before Mu shi could finish his words, Wu Shi's face had already darkened. "It's one thing for a teacher to be powerful, but he has to be strong himself as well! Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Later on, have him write a self-reflection on the mistakes he has made in his management, and the headquarters will not pursue the matter of his negligence … "
"Write a self-reflection?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
That was a really far-fetched term … Principal Zhang was going to write one as well?
To vent his anger on him as soon as he arrived, it seemed like this fellow was trying to establish his authority …
Just that … he had never met the other party before, and he had never done anything wrong before.
Scratching his head, Zhang Xuan felt conflicted. If the other party really insisted on causing trouble for him, should he summon the puppet and give him a good beating?
"Wu Shi …"
While Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, Mu shi suddenly spoke up. "Zhang Shi has only been the principal for three months, and more importantly, he was the one who caught him …"
"Alright, for such a traitor to appear in the Master Teacher Academy, as the principal, he bears great responsibility for it. Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and announce the verdict. We still have more important matters to attend to!"
Interrupting Mu shi's explanation, Wu Shi waved his hands dismissively.
"Yes!"
Mu shi nodded. Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he said, "Everyone, I have something important to announce to you!"
"Something important?"
The master teachers beneath the stage immediately turned their gazes over in bewilderment.
For two Seven Star master teachers to ring the Assembly Bell to make an announcement, it was bound to be a huge matter.
"Mingshi Tang has always viewed the extermination of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe as his responsibility, and most of us master teachers also view this as our goal in life. However … while there are those who carry out their duties strictly, there are also those who take advantage of the loopholes in the Master Teacher Academy!"
At this point, Mu shi's complexion gradually darkened.
"If an ordinary cultivator were to betray humanity and betray their friends in the face of a life-and-death crisis, it would still be understandable. After all, not everyone would be able to persevere through the fear of death. However, as a master teacher, one who enjoys the respect and reverence of countless people, it would be unforgivable for one to be unable to persevere at a crucial moment like this!
"To put it simply, one has lost his resolve, but to put it more seriously, he has betrayed humanity!"
Mu shi's voice echoed in the surroundings.
"Betrayed humanity?"
"But if he is a master teacher, he is indeed unforgivable!"
The master teachers beneath the stage nodded in agreement.
While master teachers enjoyed the privilege of standing high above the masses, they had to bear the responsibilities that came with it.
Every single one of them had to pay a heavy price to become a high-tier master teacher. If they were to betray humanity at a crucial moment, they would be punished.
"Everyone, quiet down. Today, I am going to talk about a master teacher who betrayed humanity!"
Seeing that the crowd's emotions had been stirred, Mu shi waved his hand grandly, and his voice continued. "For his own safety, he disregarded the principles of a master teacher and caused the deaths of more than twenty 6-star pinnacle master teachers! In fact, he even caused the elites of humanity who had treated him as their teacher to vanish without a trace! Yet, he shamelessly returned to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy to impart knowledge, enjoying the respect and reverence of countless master teachers … What do you think we should do with such a person? "
"There is such a person in the world? Kill him! "
"Betraying humanity is an unforgivable crime. There's no room for negotiation."
"Causing the deaths of more than twenty 6-star pinnacle master teachers is a crime that is worthy of death several times over!"
"Mu shi, who is the person you are talking about? Could he be a teacher of our academy? "
…
Hearing those words, a huge commotion broke out beneath the stage.
Two Seven Star master teachers had come here, and the first thing they did was to talk about was betrayal. On top of that, the person they were going to judge was related to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
Ignoring the crowd's questions, Mu shi flung his sleeves and tilted his head upward. "Bring him down!"
Along with his words, the roar of a saint beast echoed in the air, and a Saint realm Tigereagle Beast descended from the sky. Its body jolted, and a figure on its back fell heavily to the ground.
"This … Is this You School Head Xu?"
"It really is School Head You. Did he betray humanity?"
"Didn't he have a Life-and-Death Physician Duel with School Head You and was brought away after losing? Why would he appear here? "
"For the past two years, he has been cultivating medicinal herbs in the academy. When did he start communicating with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
"I have attended his lessons before, and I was still holding a grudge against him when School Head You challenged him …"
Upon seeing the figure on the stage, a huge uproar broke out beneath the stage. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Three months ago, when School Head You challenged You Xu, there were quite a few people who were still cheering for him, thinking that he was a man of great virtue and prestige. Never in their dreams could they have imagined that he would be a traitor to humanity.
For two Seven Star master teachers from the Qingyuan Empire Mingshi Tang Academy to speak of School Head You Xu so decisively before the crowd, there was no doubt that the matter was true.
"I believe that all of you should know who he is!"
Harrumphing coldly, Mu shi turned to You Xu and said, "Are you going to confess yourself, or do you want the Teacher Guild to issue a [Guild Letter] to you?"
The Mingshi Tang Academy was a branch of the Teacher Guild, and a Guild Letter issued by it was equivalent to an imperial edict. Once it was announced, it would automatically be recorded in the books of the Teacher Guild and Mingshi Tang Academy, allowing the Teacher Guild to check on it.
To put it bluntly, once the Guild Letter was issued, it would be as good as announcing his crimes. There would be no room for rebuttal.
"I …"
You Xu's lips quivered.
If he were to admit his crimes, only those in the academy would know of it. If he were to issue a Guild Letter to the entire Teacher Guild and Mingshi Tang Academy, his name would go down in history.
"I will confess …"
Without much hesitation, You Xu nodded.
In any case, he had already admitted to his crimes, so there was nothing for him to hide anymore.
"Very well. Tell it to all of the master teachers here!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wanted him to confess, Mu shi waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Gritting his teeth, You Xu said, "I am in the wrong. I am the one who harmed the old principal …"
Very soon, he went through the details of what he had told Zhang Xuan back then.
This time, he went into even more detail. After hearing his words, the master teachers beneath the stage clenched their fists tightly, and veins popped out from their heads.
"Kill him!"
"To think that You Xu would be such a person. You are truly the scum of the master teachers!"
"It is laughable that I have attended his lessons, and I have always respected him as my teacher. This is truly a huge stain on my life!"
"It is likely that Principal Zhang noticed that there was something wrong with him, so he conducted the Life-and-Death Physician Duel. After discovering the problem, he handed the matter over to Mu shi!"
"That is indeed possible. If not for Principal Zhang, we would surely have been fooled by that scum …"
…
A huge uproar broke out among the crowd.
Betraying mankind, heeding the orders of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, framing his colleagues, leaving the fate of the old principal unknown, and plunging the entire Master Teacher Academy into chaos …
To think that all of these were done by that fellow!
Just like what Mu shi had said, his crimes were unforgivable!
"Since you have already admitted to your crimes, I won't say anything unnecessary. Now, I shall announce the decision of Qingyuan Empire's Mingshi Tang …"
Seeing how the crowd was filled with indignation, Mu shi glanced at the crowd before whipping out a scroll and opening it lightly.
Huala!
A ray of light shone in the air, and a cold and emotionless voice echoed.
"You Xu, for betraying mankind and framing master teachers, you have violated the rules of Mingshi Tang and crossed the bottom line of master teachers. You shall be stripped of your master teacher identity and executed in public!"
"Executed in public?"
Hearing the decision, You Xu's face paled, and he collapsed to the ground. As if he had lost his soul, the light in his eyes dimmed.
