The Nine Cloud Palace was dazzlingly golden, rising up layer by layer. The peak of the Nine Cloud Palace was like a celestial palace. Golden light shone on the clouds, looking sacred and solemn.
In the Divine Sky City, the Nine Cloud Palace could be said to be the most luxurious place. The Jin Clan members also wore extremely luxurious clothes.
At the moment, there was a youth kneeling on the ground at the top of the Nine Cloud Palace. In front of him, many people stared at him coldly.
The youth kneeling on the ground was Jin Yunxiao of the Jin Clan.
"Grandfather, only Uncle Cheng knows about this, and he is extremely loyal to the Jin Clan. It is impossible for him to spread it. Only the Jin Clan knows about this. It will not spread." Jin Yunxiao looked at the old man in front of him, trembling. It was a sharp-looking old man with long golden hair. Even his eyes were golden, revealing a threatening sharpness.
This person was the leader of the Jin Clan, Jin Chengfeng.
The Jin Clan had brought him back today because the servant who had been protecting Jin Yunxiao had left the Divine Sky City. After Ye Futian was assassinated, someone in the Jin Clan had noticed. After the leader came out of seclusion, he reported the matter. Thus, he found Jin Yunxiao's servant to ask about the matter and found out that Jin Yunxiao had participated in Ye Futian's assassination.
"Didn't you say that the Starry School disciple Jiang Nan told you about this? Then, he naturally knows, "Jin Chengfeng said coldly.
"He was involved in this matter. If news of this were to spread, with his status, how would he be able to escape unscathed? Naturally, he would not reveal this matter. Furthermore, I have already brought him along with me. Nothing will go wrong if he follows me," Jin Yunxiao said.
"What if the matter is exposed in the future and the Starry School investigates him?" Jin Chengfeng looked at Jin Yunxiao.
"Grandfather, the assassin has already died on the spot. There is no need to investigate to avenge his son." Jin Yunxiao shook his head.
"Idiot," Jin Chengfeng said coldly. "I've already sent people to the Starry School. They will naturally deal with your fellow disciple. Only dead people keep secrets."
Jin Yunxiao's expression froze and his heart trembled. His grandfather was the leader of the Nine Cloud Palace and was extremely decisive. Although he did not like Jiang Nan, he did not mind having a servant by his side. However, his grandfather's thoughts were different. He did not want to leave behind any hidden dangers and get rid of him directly.
Indeed, secretly killing an unknown disciple was not even worth mentioning compared to assassinating a Saint.
There were many disciples in the Starry School, and it was common for disciples to die while training outside. It was not strange for one or two disciples to die.
"Yes, Grandfather." Jin Yunxiao did not dare to say no. His grandfather's prestige was unquestionable in the Nine Cloud Palace. Now that the Gu Family and the Long Family were under the control of the next generation, only the Nine Cloud Palace was still controlled by his grandfather.
"I'll deal with you after I deal with him." Jin Chengfeng said coldly. He had been in the Divine Sky City for many years and was of the same generation as Chen Yuan. He naturally understood Chen Yuan and knew what it meant for Chen Yuan to be crowned the Son. Therefore, even though the Jin Clan was slightly unhappy that the Academy had not informed the Jin Clan in advance, he did not mention a word about it afterward, nor did he think of dragging Ye Futian down.
That old man Chen Yuan had been holding back his anger and waiting for far too long. He would only strike when he was the most confident and give Ye Futian a fatal blow to end Chen Yuan's hopes. But now was not the time.
Jin Yunxiao acting on his own was extremely stupid.
At that moment, a figure came from afar riding on a Roc. The figure walked on a golden cloud and bowed to Jin Chengfeng. "Clan leader, something has happened."
"What is it?" Jin Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, his aura threatening.
"Jiang Nan was taken away by the Starry School Punishment Institution. His cultivation was then destroyed and he was expelled from the Academy," the person said. "Now, the people from the Starry School Punishment Institution are heading in the direction of the Nine Cloud Palace. They may be here soon."
The expressions of the Jin Clan changed slightly. Jin Yunxiao's face was pale and he said, "How can this be? The Academy could not have found out about this."
Jin Chengfeng glanced at Jin Yunxiao coldly and said, "Take him away."
"Yes." Someone looked at Jin Yunxiao.
"Grandfather, this is impossible." Jin Yunxiao shook his head continuously and left with the others.
"What do you think?" Jin Chengfeng looked at the crowd and asked. Although he had heard the news, he still seemed unusually calm. At his level of cultivation, he would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Everyone's eyes flashed. They naturally understood what Jin Chengfeng was asking. If the Starry School came to ask for Ye Futian, would they hand him over?
"The Starry School actually came to the Nine Cloud Palace directly. Did they not care about the Jin Clan's position in the Academy and suppress this matter?" someone said, extremely displeased.
"Before Chen Yuan was crowned the Son, he had been hiding it from the Jin Clan. Furthermore, he had the support of the Dragon and Gu Clans. Now that they have come to ask for him, is the Starry School trying to push the Jin Clan out?"
The Jin Clan had been holding their breaths regarding the crowning of the Son this time.
Therefore, although Jin Yunxiao's actions were very rash, they agreed with him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yunxiao naturally cannot be handed over. Otherwise, the Jin Clan will lose face in the Academy. In the future, all disciples who enter the Academy will no longer be under the Jin Clan and become disciples of the Nine Cloud Palace," an elder said calmly. The Top Three Clans had been around for many years. Every generation had entered the Academy to cultivate. Many of them had become leaders and taught disciples in the Academy. Many people in the Academy were under them and were considered disciples of the Nine Cloud Palace. After they left the Academy, they would still maintain a friendly relationship with the Jin Clan. Some would even work for the Jin Clan.
It was like this generation after generation. Only then did the clans truly infiltrate the Top Three Schools.
"Let's wait for them to come." Jin Chengfeng did not say much and only spoke calmly. Not long later, the people from the Starry School's Punishment Institution arrived and were brought to see Jin Chengfeng and the others.
Seeing this, the people from the Starry School knew that the Jin Clan had already received the news in advance.
"Senior." Everyone bowed slightly to Jin Chengfeng. The Jin Clan leader was of the same generation as the College Chief. Naturally, they had to bow.
"Why have you come to the Jin Clan?" Jin Chengfeng asked.
"Senior, Jin Yunxiao is suspected of being involved in the assassination of the Son. Elder Lu has ordered us to bring Jin Yunxiao back to the Academy," the person bowed and reported, getting straight to the point.
"I've also heard about the assassination of the Son in the Starry School. He had a feud with someone and killed his son. The parents of the victim came to take revenge. Why did Jin Yunxiao get involved? Are you all mistaken?" Jin Chengfeng asked.
"The assassins were naturally two from the Yunyue Business Alliance. However, we found out that the two were brought into the Celestial Pavilion by Jin Yunxiao and another disciple of the Starry School, Jiang Nan. They provided the conditions for this assassination. Jiang Nan has already confessed. Please do not make things difficult for us." The people from the Punishment Institution continued to speak. As expected, it was not an easy task to capture someone from the Nine Cloud Palace.
"After bringing Jin Yunxiao back, Elder Lu will confirm again. He will not frame Jin Yunxiao. Please do not worry," the person from the Punishment Institution said patiently.
"Can an ordinary disciple's words be trusted? Everyone, please go back first. Ask Elder Lu if it was possible that Jiang Nan did this alone and dragged Yunxiao into it to escape punishment," Jin Chengfeng said casually. Jin Chengfeng said casually. The crowd wanted to continue but Jin Chengfeng said, "Go. Investigate the truth as soon as possible. If there is a need, I will also go to the Starry School to talk to Chief Chen." Jin Chengfeng nodded.
"Yes, we will go back and report." At this point, they naturally understood that the Jin Clan leader was not willing to hand over Jin Yunxiao. They could not forcefully take him away and could only return to report.
However, this was also expected. It was not so easy to touch Jin Chengfeng's grandson, the young master of the Nine Cloud Palace.
…
Ye Futian had already returned to the Starry School. At the moment, not only was Elder Lu in the Punishment Institution, but Ye Futian, the cultivators from the Gu Clan, and Madame Long were also there.
They were all waiting here for news from the people who had gone to the Nine Cloud Palace. They wanted to see if the Jin Clan would hand over Jin Yunxiao.
After a while, the people who had gone to the Jin Clan returned to the Punishment Institution. Looking behind them and not seeing Jin Yunxiao, everyone understood.
"Elder Lu, the Jin Clan leader met us personally. He asked me to bring a message to you. He asked if it was possible that Jiang Nan did this alone and dragged Jin Yunxiao into it to escape punishment." The person who came conveyed Jin Chengfeng's words. There was a hidden meaning in his words.
Elder Lu glanced at Ye Futian. He naturally understood Jin Chengfeng's meaning. He wanted the school to suppress this matter and push the blame onto Jiang Nan alone, not involving Jin Yunxiao.
"Ye Futian, this matter can only be decided by the Chief," Elder Lu said. This matter involved the top clan, the Jin Clan. Even if he was in charge of the punishment in the Starry School, he could not do anything about it.
"Does the old man from the Jin Clan want to push the matter away with just one sentence?" A cold voice sounded from outside the hall. Then, a few figures walked in together.
It was the Gu Clan leader, Gu Hanshan, Madame Long from the West Mountain Dragon Clan, and Chief Chen.
The three important figures had come personally for this matter.
"Chief, Senior Gu, Madame," Ye Futian shouted. The others also bowed.
"The assassins were from the Yunyue Business Alliance. Jin Yunxiao was only a participant behind the scenes and did not kill him directly. The Jin Clan naturally wants him to stay out of this matter and reduce it to a small matter," Madame Long said softly.
"Yunxi was heavily injured and almost lost her life. Yet Jin Chengfeng exonerated a junior. How can it be so simple?" Gu Hanshan said coldly.
"What do you think?" Chief Chen's gaze landed on Ye Futian and he asked.
"Jin Yunxiao is definitely involved in this matter," Ye Futian replied. Jiang Nan did not have that much power. Moreover, he suddenly followed Jin Yunxiao. Now that he had admitted that he was involved, Jin Yunxiao would naturally do the same.
"How do you want to deal with it?" Chief Chen asked again.
Ye Futian stared at Chief Chen. He obviously knew that this matter was very important. The Jin Clan was the most powerful force in the Starry School. If he were to touch Jin Yunxiao, it might cause a huge change.
"Although I was lucky to survive, blood must be paid with blood. The murderer must be punished," Ye Futian said, staring at Chief Chen's eyes. This time, it was not just his matter. Yu Sheng, Wuchen, Loulan Xue, Gu Yunxi, and Wang Yurou were all heavily injured and almost lost their lives!
