He Qionghai and Zhang Cangxiang were calm as if they had accepted the situation.
"They are worse than dogs and pigs!" A scholar scolded in a low voice, but everyone could hear him. Everyone knew who he was scolding and which family he was scolding.
"If you speak rudely again, you will be expelled from the Academy!" Lei Tingzhen snorted.
The Academy was silent.
The Lei family and the Zong family had completely taken control of the Academy!
Many scholars were filled with despair. They did not think that after fighting for so long, this would be the result.
The anger in some scholars' hearts grew stronger and stronger. They were ready to speak out at any time. Even if they were expelled from the Academy, the result was already decided.
"Brother Yun, what about you?" Lei Tingzhen smiled at the scholar, Yun Luo.
Many Grand Scholars looked at Lei Tingzhen angrily. His smile was simply provoking everyone.
Yun Luo lowered his head slightly and did not speak for a long time.
Lei Tingzhen smiled and said, "The Old Man can wait."
Fifteen minutes later, the other scholars of the Academy arrived. With more people, the Academy seemed even more gloomy.
Everyone was waiting for the final news. Once Yun Luo submitted to the Lei family, the dust would settle. Lei Zhongmo would become the head of the Four Great Scholars.
Lei Tingzhen's face was rosy. Occasionally, he would chat with his friends. Victory was in his hands.
Lei Tingzhen seemed to have become the master of the Academy.
Time slowly passed. The Academy was terrifyingly silent, making it hard for people to breathe.
Yun Luo did not speak until late at night.
No one left. They had been placing their Divine Consciousness in the Meritorious Courtyard, quietly waiting for the final result.
After a long time, Lei Tingzhen finally lost his patience and said, "When the sun rises, please make your final decision, Mister Yun."
When the first ray of sunlight from the east fell on the Notre-Dame, the atmosphere in the Academy became especially heavy.
Lei Tingzhen smiled and said, "Mister Yun Luo, please make your decision."
Yun Luo sighed and slowly raised his head.
Suddenly, the Notre-Dame's funeral bell rang. It reached the ears of all scholars who were Grand Scholars or above.
The funeral bell rang.
The Notre-Dame would ring the funeral bell for the death of a family leader, a scholar, or an outstanding human being. If the person had committed a grave crime, the Notre-Dame would give up ringing the bell.
This death knell contained information about the Notre-Dame. Those who heard it immediately knew that the head of the Lei family, Lei Zhong Mo, had passed away. This person had a marriage alliance with the princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace and created the Flood Dragon Wentai. He was the role model of the human race, an important minister of the Notre-Dame and a meritorious minister of the human race.
Many of the scholars of the Academy were not sad, but they had to pretend to be sad.
If this was a normal time, even if these scholars hated Lei Zhongmo, they would not pretend to be sad. After all, a person's death was important. However, after seeing the despicable methods of the Lei family, they could not have any sympathy for the dead Lei Zhongmo.
"Zhong Mo!" Lei Tingzhen suddenly shouted. He was heartbroken. Then, his divine sense left Chosen Courtyard.
Yun Luo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Lei Zhongmo unfortunately passed away. Heaven and earth are mourning. Since one of the Four Great Scholars is missing, according to the old rules, the Chosen Courtyard will be reopened in three days and the Four Great Scholars will be reselected!"
After speaking, Yun Luo left. The rest of the scholars and scholars also left one after another.
After the funeral bell rang, the entire Lei family's cries shook the heavens.
However, the scholars of the Saint Origin Continent were very glad that Lei Zhongmo did not become the head of the Four Great Scholars. Otherwise, it would be a stain in the history of the human race.
After two hours, the drum at the entrance of the Notre-Dame suddenly rang. The sound spread for thousands of miles.
Dong … Dong … Dong …
"I'm innocent! The head of the Lei family, Lei Zhongmo, was killed by Fang Yun in the World of Battles. I beg the saints to give the Lei family justice. I beg the saints to return justice to the human race! " The scholar Lei Tingzhen brought Lei Zhongmo's wife and children, including the Princess of the Dragons. They wore mourning clothes and stood in front of the drum at the entrance of the Notre-Dame.
Lei Tingzhen beat the drum with all his might.
The scholars of the Notre-Dame rushed out and stood around the big square of the Notre-Dame. They looked at the Lei family at the entrance.
The Notre-Dame had four saints. The Eastern Saint was in charge of the internal affairs of the human race. The Western Saint was in charge of the Two World Mountain. The Southern Saint traveled the world. The Northern Saint hid in the Demon World.
After the previous Eastern Saint, Wang Jinglong, stepped down, the Eastern Saint was taken over by the Half-saint Zong Mo Ju.
The people of the Dongsheng Pavilion slowly walked towards the drum. The leader was the Pavilion Elder of the Dongsheng Pavilion, the head of the Zong family, Zong Ganyu.
Zong Ganyu brought people to Lei Zhongmo. With a sad face, he said, "Old Man is deeply saddened by Zhongmo's death. Such a talent died inexplicably in the World of Battles. It is the sorrow of the human race, the sorrow of the world. I ask the Lei family to restrain your grief. However, there is one thing that Old Man does not understand. Why is Lei Zhongmo's death related to Fang Xusheng? "
Lei Tingzhen gritted his teeth and said, "The Dragon Palace of the West Sea sent a message to the Lei family. In the World of Battles, Fang Yun killed the head of the Lei family, Lei Zhongmo! If we don't take revenge, how can the Lei family face our ancestors! The dignified Xusheng killed a great scholar. The etiquette of the human race has collapsed to this extent. It has never happened before! It has never happened before! "
The Lei family behind Lei Tingzhen cried loudly. One of Lei Zhongmo's concubines even fainted from crying.
Zong Ganyu was shocked and said, "How can this be! How can Fang Xusheng kill the head of the Xusheng Clan? That is a serious crime! It is impossible! "
"Impossible? The Dragon Saint of the West Sea has already issued a decree and even listed Fang Yun as an enemy of the Dragon Palace! "
Zong Ganyu pretended to shake his head and said, "Nonsense. Lei Tingzhen, if you slander Fang Xusheng again, the Dongsheng Pavilion will punish you severely! How can the dignified Dragon Saint of the West Sea issue a decree for Fang Xusheng! "
"Then, please issue the decree!" After Lei Tingzhen finished speaking, he cupped his hands and a white light soared into the sky. Then, a white scale of the Great Dragon King appeared in the sky. On the scale, there were Dragons' words.
The thick Half-saint aura spread throughout the Notre-Dame. Everyone saw the ripples in front of their eyes and heard the rising and falling of the tides.
Zong Ganyu was stunned and said in surprise, "This is indeed the decree of the Dragon Saint of the West Sea! According to the contract between the two races, the decree of the Dragon Saint is the same as the decree of the human race. Since the Dragon Saint of the West Sea is the witness, it can prove that Fang Xusheng did kill the head of the Lei family, Lei Zhongmo! If that's the case, then we might need to ask for the decree. "
"Wait!" Gao Mo of the Punishment Hall said.
"Oh? Elder Gao, what can I do for you? "Zong Ganyu said.
Gao Mo said, "Even if the Dragon Saint of the West Sea issues a decree, it can't be conclusive. This matter still needs to be investigated by the Punishment Hall before we can ask for the decree. Since the Dragon Saint of the West Sea is the witness, then we still need material evidence, or the motive or chain of evidence that Xusheng mentioned before. "
Lei Tingzhen sneered, "Motive? Fang Yun hates the Lei family to the bone. Even if the head of the Lei family offered a humble apology, he still wouldn't let him go. What motive does he need? As for the so-called chain of evidence, the Dragon Saint's decree can prove everything! Let me ask you, if the human race's Half-saint issues a decree that Fang Yun is the murderer, will the Punishment Hall still dare to step in? "
Gao Mo said without hesitation, "Even if the Half-saint decides that Xusheng is the murderer without any evidence, the Punishment Hall can still oppose it! Only if the Four Saint Pavilion has all four decrees will the Punishment Hall have no right to step in. "
Zong Ganyu said, "Elder Gao, you are wrong. The Dongsheng Pavilion is the owner of the Lei family's internal affairs. Once there is conclusive evidence that Fang Xusheng killed the head of the Lei family, the Eastern Saint can naturally issue a decree to end this matter!"
"Whether Xusheng is convicted or not is a matter of great importance. Not only does the Punishment Hall have to verify it, it also has to be discussed by the human race and the Saints. How can the Dongsheng Pavilion decide on its own?" Gao Mo argued.
