Hearing Ye Futian's words, Chief Chen stared at him and said, "Do you know what consequences this will bring to yourself?"
He naturally understood Ye Futian's feelings. However, he could help Ye Futian kill Jin Yunxiao, but he was not sure how the Jin Clan would react or what they would do.
But there was one thing he was sure of. If he gave the order to kill Jin Yunxiao, with his status and ability, no matter what happened, it would not threaten him. However, Ye Futian was different. He was only in the Arcana Plane. If Jin Yunxiao died, he would definitely take responsibility for it.
Even with his protection, it was still a scary thing to be targeted by a powerful force like the Jin Clan.
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. Jin Yunxiao had already tried to kill him. If he still had to worry about the future, what was the point?
Even if he let it go today, Jin Yunxiao and the Jin Clan would let it go. If there was a chance in the future, would they not kill him?
"Alright." Chief Chen nodded.
"Jin Ze requests to see you, Chief." Just then, a voice came from outside the hall.
Chen Yuan turned and said, "Let's go."
With that, the group walked out.
Just then, a group of people appeared at the bottom of the hall's stairs. Seeing Chief Chen, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Chief."
"What is it?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I heard that student Jiang Nan led the assassin to kill the Son and directed the trouble to Jin Yunxiao. You must not believe this easily, Chief," Jin Ze said, bowing.
"After bringing Jin Yunxiao to the school, we will investigate." Chen Yuan swept his gaze across the people below. He could naturally see that the higher-ups of the Jin Clan were all present. They were pressuring him and the school.
"The Jin Clan has always been close to the school. Over the years, they have long become a part of the Starry School. Jin Yunxiao is a descendant of the Jin Clan, why would he assassinate the Son?" Jin Ze said. "If you capture Jin Yunxiao because of a despicable person's words, it will be embarrassing for the Jin Clan. My brother is the leader of the Jin Clan, and Jin Yunxiao is a direct descendant. This will cause the school and the Jin Clan to fall out." Jin Ze continued, "Furthermore, this matter is so strange. It could be that someone is intentionally creating trouble to drive a wedge between the school and the Jin Clan."
"I know." Chen Yuan nodded. "However, whether Jin Yunxiao is involved or not will be judged fairly after I bring him here. If I wronged him, I will personally apologize to the Jin Clan.
"Headmaster, aren't you determined to embarrass the Jin family?" Jin Ze said, "The Jin Family has always respected you, Headmaster. When you named the Son, the Jin Family never objected at all. We also admire the Son. The Yunyue Business Alliance tried to assassinate the Son, and the Jin Family also hates the murderer. Headmaster, how can you drag the Nine Cloud Palace into this just because of one sentence?"
"On the day of the Son's conferment, I announced in front of everyone that the Son is the leader of the Starry School's disciples. Seeing him is like seeing me. Now that someone claims that Jin Yunxiao is the mastermind, how can I not bring him here for investigation? Jin Ze, you are trying so hard to stop me. What is your intention?"
Jin, Chief, "I said," I said, I. I, "Chen Yuan said," I said, "Chen Yuan," was Jin Jin. "I," he said.
Jin Ze raised his head and looked straight at Chief Chen. "Chief, have you really made up your mind?"
"If you don't go, I will send Lu Wang," Chen Yuan replied.
Jin Ze bowed slightly and said, "Farewell."
With that, he turned and left. Many experts from the Jin Clan followed him.
Not long after they left, from all directions of the Starry School, many figures flew into the sky and left. At the place where the Starry School elders lived, almost one-fifth of the people had left. This instantly caused a huge commotion.
Outside the punishment court, Chief Chen and the others could naturally sense people leaving through the sky.
Chen Yuan stared into the void. His eyes were as deep as the stars, and they seemed bottomless.
Everyone else was silent. This matter was brewing step by step, and it would become more and more intense.
More people came to report that experts from the various schools were leaving. Usually, the departure of a few people would not attract much attention. However, this time, it was a large-scale departure. Clearly, something unusual had happened.
Not only the elders, but the Starry School disciples were also in a mess. Then, many people left through the sky. The entire Starry School seemed to be in a state of shock.
Many people had gathered at the Punishment Hall. Some of the elders had arrived as well.
"Jin Chengfeng is still so domineering. Is he forcing the Starry School to make a decision?" Someone said coldly. The Jin Clan was withdrawing all their experts from the Starry School. They also took away many outstanding disciples.
Over the years, the Jin Clan, Gu Clan, and Dragon Clan had long been deeply rooted in the Starry School and integrated into the school.
Now that the Jin Clan had suddenly withdrawn, the Starry School's power would be greatly affected.
The Top Three Schools of the Divine Sky City were originally on equal footing. However, after the Jin Clan left, the Starry School would instantly fall to the weakest school. The Starry School had to be careful about this.
"Chief, as Jin Ze said, there might be someone behind this. The Son obtained the divine teachings in the martial arts battlefield, and the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School are eyeing him. If the Starry School's power is weakened …" someone said in a low voice.
"Jin Chengfeng must know this too. That's why he did this to force the Starry School to let go of this matter."
Numerous gazes landed on College Chief Chen. At this moment, College Chief Chen was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.
In reality, when he asked Ye Futian, he had already thought of this possibility. He knew the Jin Clan's leader, Jin Chengfeng, very well. They were of the same generation and they had known each other since they were young. Jin Chengfeng was proud and arrogant, and his way of doing things was domineering and decisive. Even if the Jin Clan fell out with him, they would not hand him over. It was not only because Jin Yunxiao was Jin Chengfeng's grandson. Jin Chengfeng would think that the Jin Clan of the Divine Sky City would not allow an Arcana Plane junior to humiliate them.
With Jin Chengfeng's arrogance, it was expected that he would use such a domineering method to force him to make a choice.
"When I was crowned as the Son, I held the crowning ceremony and wore the holy crown and robe. At that time, I thought that since I wanted to restore the glory of the Ancient Saint Era and walk the Divine Path, this journey would be difficult." Chief Chen looked at the sky and said slowly, "Before the crowning ceremony, I asked Ye Futian if he could do it. If he was crowned as the Son, he would have to suppress an entire generation. Ye Futian replied that he could.
"Since he can do it, then we will handle everything else. Although the Jin Clan did not say anything, they are obviously against this. Today's matter is also an opportunity. From now on, the Starry School will be united." Chief Chen lowered his head and scanned the crowd. His voice was solemn. "Jin Yunxiao participated in the assassination of the Son. If we do not punish him, other families will follow suit in the future. Hence, I have decided to capture Jin Yunxiao and bring him here to punish him."
Everyone looked at the figure of Chief Chen and could feel his determination.
However, the Divine Path was easier said than done.
Back then, Chief Chen had high hopes for Long Yitian. However, Long Yitian died in a foreign land. Ye Futian gave Chief Chen another hope.
"Pass down my order to the Starry School. Jin Yunxiao of the Jin Clan plotted to assassinate the Son and escaped back to the Jin Clan. To protect Jin Yunxiao, the Jin Clan will evacuate all Jin Clan members cultivating in the Starry School." Chief Chen's voice was solemn and he said to everyone, "The Starry School is a place for cultivation. However, to protect their disciples, the Jin Clan ignored the rules of the Starry School. For personal reasons, the school is in turmoil. From today onwards, no one from the Jin Clan will ever be allowed to enter the Starry School to cultivate."
Hearing Chief Chen's words, everyone's heart trembled. This was a complete break with the Jin Clan.
Moreover, it was irreversible.
The Jin Clan used the evacuation method to threaten Chief Chen, forcing him to choose between the Jin Clan and Ye Futian.
Chief Chen chose Ye Futian, who was still in the Arcana Plane.
Moreover, his method was so forceful and decisive.
Everyone understood that after these words were spread, the Starry School would be standing on the opposite side of the Nine Cloud Palace.
"Lu Wang, bring some people to the Jin Clan and bring Ye Futian here. Tell Jin Chengfeng that if he is unwilling to hand him over, I will personally bring some people to the Nine Cloud Palace," Chief Chen said.
"Yes." Lu Wang stared at the old man in front of him. His heart was in turmoil.
Chief Chen was doing this to protect the Divine Path. He was willing to go all out and pay any price.
Lu Wang brought his people and left. Chief Chen's words quickly spread to the Starry School. It was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone's heart to tremble violently.
The Starry School and the Jin Clan had broken off. From now onwards, the Jin Clan members would never be able to enter the Starry School to cultivate.
The withdrawal of the Jin Clan's experts had left behind a huge mess. It seemed like it had completely angered the Chief.
The news also quickly spread to the Nine Cloud Palace. The Jin Clan and the Nine Cloud Palace were shocked. Many people were stunned by the news.
The withdrawal of the Jin Clan was a form of attitude. It was to force the Starry School to take a step back. They did not necessarily want to break off completely.
However, Chief Chen had directly cut off the Jin Clan's path of retreat and cut off all ties with the Nine Cloud Palace.
When Jin Chengfeng heard the news, he was furious. Chen Yuan had actually dared to be so decisive.
When Jin Yunxiao heard the news, he was scared out of his wits. Of course, he understood how serious the matter was. He definitely did not expect that his actions would cause such terrifying consequences.
