In front of Nine Firmaments Palace, a coercive atmosphere of power enveloped the vast space.
Jin Chengfeng coldly stared at the silhouette before him. Today's matter wasn't entirely because of his personality. As the head of an aristocratic family, he naturally wouldn't do things based on his own preferences.
If it was any other situation, even if he had to sacrifice one of his grandsons, he would accept it.
However, today's matter was not something that could be resolved with just sacrifice.
Jin Chengfeng knew very well what kind of person Chen Yuan was. For many years, the academy and the aristocratic families had coexisted, and the aristocratic families were integrated into the academy. However, Chen Yuan had always hoped that the academy would be a pure place. He did not want to be mixed with the aristocratic families and have their own personal agendas. In the era of Long Yitian, he had dominated the Divine Sky City and was so glorious. But to Chen Yuan, his biggest regret was that Long Yitian's surname was Long, and he was a disciple of an aristocratic family. He was not a direct descendant of the academy.
Ye Futian was different. Ye Futian's surname was Ye. Although he was young, he had caused the martial arts battlefield to collapse. He had done something that Long Yitian had never done before. After that, he had conferred the title of Son with the highest ceremony in the Starry School. He wanted to create a saint, and Ye Futian had not let him down. Hence, Chen Yuan had even higher expectations for him.
Under such circumstances, when Ye Futian became powerful in the future, the Academics would definitely purge and weaken the clans. The Dragon Clan and the Gu Clan supported Ye Futian together. Even if they were affected, they would not be affected. However, the Jin Clan would definitely be eliminated.
Although Jin Yunxiao had not informed the Jin Clan of what he had done, but if the Jin Clan had really wanted to know, how could they not have known? If they had given a warning, they would have been able to stop it as well. However, the Jin Clan did not do so. Instead, they let nature take its course and allowed it to happen.
Ye Futian immediately ordered for Jin Yunxiao to be captured. After the Starry School found out, he ordered for the Jin Clan to evacuate from the school. Other than testing Chen Yuan's attitude, he also wanted to save some face. Rather than being slowly eroded in the future, he might as well evacuate the clan directly. Of course, if Chen Yuan had chosen to take a step back, Ye Futian might have been able to do something else. However, Chen Yuan did not. Ye Futian was stronger than Ye Futian had imagined.
"Chen Yuan, do you really want to do this?" Jin Chengfeng's eyes were extremely sharp. Chen Yuan should have known very well that even if he won today and successfully coerced Ye Futian, there might be consequences.
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Bring Jin Yunxiao here." Jin Chengfeng's words caused countless people's hearts to tremble. The leader of the Jin Clan, Jin Chengfeng, was willing to fall out with the Starry School because he did not want to lose face. But in the end, he could not bear the pressure and compromised?
However, this was normal. If the Starry School and the two clans really went to war, the Nine Cloud Palace would be in deep trouble. It was not worth it to protect Jin Yunxiao.
However, Chen Yuan had forced Jin Chengfeng and Nine Firmaments Palace to such a state. Given Jin Chengfeng's arrogant personality, he would definitely seek revenge in the future.
Very soon, Jin Yunxiao was brought up. He was trembling with fear, his body trembling as he looked at Jin Chengfeng and called out, "Grandfather."
If he really handed him over, the Starry School would not let him off. Not only the Starry School, but the Gu Clan as well. That day, Gu Yunxi had also been severely injured. Even if he did not die, he would be crippled. His ending would be very tragic.
Jin Chengfeng did not even look at Jin Yunxiao, allowing him to keep calling him, appearing extremely resolute.
Jin Yunxiao was brought directly to Chen Yuan, after which the Jin Clan retreated. Looking at Chen Yuan, Jin Yunxiao was extremely terrified. His body trembled as he said, "Forgive me, College Chief. I did not mean to do this. Even without me, they would still take revenge. I only informed them in advance."
At that moment, Jin Yunxiao no longer had his usual arrogance. His voice was trembling, and there was only fear in his eyes.
"I once said that seeing the Son is like seeing me. As a student of the Starry School, you participated in the murder of the Son. Ye Futian, the Son, and your fellow disciple, Gu Yunxi, almost lost their lives. You should be executed," Chen Yuan said coldly. "Lu Wang, execute immediately."
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent Jin Yunxiao to Lu Wang.
"Yes." Lu Wang glanced at Jin Yunxiao.
"No …" Jin Yunxiao's expression changed. Then, he saw Lu Wang stretch out his hand, and a terrifying pressure enveloped Jin Yunxiao. He felt suffocated. Jin Yunxiao's body was covered in golden light, and he wanted to struggle and resist. His eyes were filled with intense indignation. He was a member of the Nine Cloud Palace, the pride of the Jin Clan. He had once looked down on Ye Futian's existence. In his eyes, Ye Futian was merely a lowly person. In the martial arts battlefield, he had swung his sword and almost killed Ye Futian.
Now, just because he participated in the assassination of Ye Futian, he was sentenced to death?
Ridiculous.
How could he be worthy?
An unparalleled Spiritual Will rushed into his mind, after which he trembled violently. His consciousness gradually became blurry, and with a trace of indignation, his body fell from the sky.
The pride of the Nine Cloud Palace, a talented young disciple of the Starry School, had died in such a way. The world was unpredictable, and it made one sigh.
"Gu Hanshan, are you satisfied?" Jin Chengfeng did not ask Chen Yuan, but Gu Hanshan.
"He should have died," Gu Hanshan said coldly.
"Yes, now he's dead. People of the Gu Clan and the Dragon Clan, there's nothing for you here anymore," Jin Chengfeng said coldly. "As for the people that the Jin Clan brought, they followed us willingly and entered the Nine Cloud Palace. If I hand them over, how will the Nine Cloud Palace have the face to stand tall in the Divine Sky City in the future? Chen Yuan, if you want to start a war, then do it."
The eyes of the people who were brought flashed, and their fear lessened. At least the master of the Nine Cloud Palace did not abandon them directly. If that was the case, it would indeed be more despicable than handing over Jin Yunxiao.
After all, Jin Yunxia had committed a crime of assassinating someone, and these people were her followers. Once the Nine Cloud Palace handed them over, who would dare to work for the Nine Cloud Palace in the future?
Everyone understood. It seemed that Jin Chengfeng had compromised on one condition, which was to hand over Jin Yunxiao. However, the second condition was something that he would never agree to, and he would not hesitate to start a war.
Moreover, this matter could exclude the Gu Clan and the Dragon Clan, because they had no right to participate.
Chen Yuan stared at Jin Chengfeng, who was burning with fighting spirit.
…
At the moment, in the Starry School, which was extremely far away from the Nine Cloud Palace, the disciples were waiting for news.
The Starry School's experts had all come out to attack the Nine Cloud Palace. They did not know what the consequences would be. Many disciples were anxious. They felt that the Divine Sky City might not be peaceful anymore. Whether they succeeded or failed this time, it would definitely cause a storm in the future. The battle between top forces was never so simple. How could there be peace when they were facing each other head-on?
Ye Futian was also in the school. The people who had come out today were all sages. With his level of cultivation, going to the Nine Cloud Palace would be akin to sending himself to the other party's door to be threatened.
At the moment, the sky above the Starry School suddenly blazed, as if a powerful pressure was descending. Even the sun seemed to become even more terrifying, burning down. Under the firmament, within the sunlight, a group of figures walked through the air, descending in the sky above the Starry School.
When they saw the group appear, the Starry School disciples' hearts trembled violently. If they were not the experts of the Starry School, who could they be?
The pressure emanating from the group was all at the sage level. Standing there, they seemed to have become one with the heavens and the earth, using the power of the sun to envelop the Starry School.
Many people felt that something big was about to happen.
In the Starry School, one figure after another rose into the air. Someone asked, "Seniors, what brings you to the Starry School?"
"It's the people from the Blazing Sun School." Someone had already recognized who the newcomers were.
For the experts of the Blazing Sun School to come to the Starry School at this time, it would not be a good thing.
They really knew how to choose the time.
The Spiritual Energy of these sages shrouded the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the Starry School. They did not speak, but the people standing below all felt that they had been swept by a wave of Spiritual Energy.
Very soon, they seemed to have discovered something and walked in a certain direction, looking in that direction.
In the Starry School's Temple of the Saint, Ye Futian felt the Spiritual Energy sweeping across. He raised his head and looked at the incoming experts in the air, having a bad feeling.
"Ye Futian." At that moment, the person in the air spoke. In an instant, everyone's hearts trembled, knowing who the newcomers were looking for.
Ye Futian saw that everyone was looking at him. He knew that he could not avoid it, so his body flashed and he rose into the air. Looking at the newcomers, he smiled and said, "Seniors, may I know why you are looking for me?"
"We are from the Blazing Sun School. Back then, when the disciples of the Top Three Schools went to the Evil Dragon Zone, our disciple Shang Yunfeng was killed. Only now did we realize that it was your doing. You need to give us an explanation for this. Come with us," the Blazing Sun School cultivator said.
"Back then, Shang Yunfeng wanted to kill me. I naturally resisted," Ye Futian replied. "If you need an explanation, we can discuss it after Chief Chen returns."
At that moment, his heart was cold. The Blazing Sun School had never mentioned Shang Yunfeng's death. In reality, it was very normal for an ordinary disciple to die while training outside. However, to make things difficult for him at this time was very malicious.
Now that the Starry School cultivators had gone to the Jin Clan, the Blazing Sun School was obviously using this opportunity to capture him directly. He could not even escape.
Yu Sheng, Gu Yunxi, and the others all had ugly expressions when they heard the Blazing Sun School cultivator's words. They were obviously taking advantage of him.
"Since we are here, come with us. When Chief Chen returns, you can go to the Blazing Sun School," the newcomer said coldly.
A few figures walked to Ye Futian's side and looked into the air. "The Blazing Sun School chose to capture him at this time. Don't you think their methods are a little despicable?"
The scorching sunlight shone down. The Blazing Sun School cultivators spread out and walked down. One of them was extremely powerful and had a terrifying aura. He was an important figure from the Blazing Sun School. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "Come with us."
Ye Futian was named the Starry School's Son. Chen Yuan wanted to protect the Divine Path. If Chen Yuan was here, it would be equivalent to declaring war if they wanted to capture him. The Blazing Sun School would naturally not declare war with the Starry School. That was not their goal.
Now that Chen Yuan had led the cultivators to the Nine Cloud Palace, they could take Ye Futian away directly. Ye Futian should also give them an explanation for what happened in the martial arts battlefield.
