An Immortal King Had His Back

Qiu Changfeng had been holed up in the conference room, having summoned all the teachers for a meeting. Just as he briefly explained Xiang Tian's identity, he heard that furious roar, and his face darkened.

Ding Chongshan had actually come to the Immortal Academy to cause trouble!

"Everyone, move out! Even if we have to fight today, we cannot let that little ancestor suffer the slightest injury!"

Qiu Changfeng's gaze sharpened, and he was the first to burst through the door.

Very quickly, the two sides faced each other in the skies. Quite a few people had gathered nearby, including reporters and paparazzi who had caught wind of the news.

The commotion this time was simply too great. It was definitely the year's first explosive headline.

"Qiu Changfeng, where is my son, Ding Yang?!"

Ding Chongshan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the old man before him, gritting his teeth.

Qiu Changfeng remained calm. "This is an internal matter of our academy. By the rules, we will handle it ourselves. You should not have come here!"

"Bullshit!"

Ding Chongshan exploded at once. You made it sound so light and breezy, but that was not your son! That was my son!

"What? Could it be that you think the Ding Family now has the strength to wrestle with our academy?"

Qiu Changfeng sneered. Let alone you—if your father, True Immortal Ding Heshan, came today, he would still have to obediently get lost!

Hearing his words, Ding Chongshan regained some of his calm. He truly was no match for Qiu Changfeng. Moreover, the Changning Immortal Academy had been passed down for ages and contained countless powerful experts. The people he had brought were clearly far inferior.

He could only take a step back. "Hand over my son and that fiend. I can leave the Immortal Academy out of this matter."

Yet Qiu Changfeng laughed disdainfully. "What, so you do not intend to follow our academy's rules?"

The atmosphere instantly became as taut as drawn swords.

Ding Chongshan was practically going mad.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

Outside the academy, more and more spectators gathered. Reporters of all kinds scrambled to livestream and document the scene before them.

Having said that, Ding Chongshan's expression turned ruthless. Even if he had to stake his life today, he could not let this old man from the Changning Immortal Academy look down on him!

"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to start fighting!"

A voice carried from the academy, and a scene that made everyone's eyes widen appeared.

Xiang Tian dragged Ding Yang out of the classroom like a dead dog, then directly took out a Flying Sword and rose into the air atop it.

Every camera immediately turned toward him.

The reporters were so excited that their tongues nearly tied themselves in knots. Seeing that something had changed, they immediately began their commentary.

"Viewers, look at that young man. Come, let's zoom in. My heavens, look at the Flying Sword beneath his feet—it was actually forged from Sky Crystal! As everyone knows, Sky Crystal is a supreme treasure for refining Immortal Artifacts. Just a tiny amount can enhance an artifact's durability and compatibility with its user. At the same time, it is also legitimate universal currency! Yet he actually used an entire block of Sky Crystal to forge a Flying Sword. What he is standing on is not a Flying Sword—it is money! Who exactly is this young man? What happened between the Changning Immortal Academy and the Ding Family? Please stay tuned. I will continue following this story!"

Standing on his Flying Sword, Xiang Tian came to Qiu Changfeng's side, making Qiu Changfeng's eyelids twitch wildly.

My little ancestor, why did you come out? Wouldn't it have been better for you to stay inside obediently? This old man would definitely have settled this matter perfectly for you.

Ding Chongshan looked at Ding Yang in Xiang Tian's hand, his eyes turning red as his heart ached terribly. "Yang'er."

Xiang Tian tossed Ding Yang away like a piece of rotten meat. Ding Chongshan hurriedly reached out and caught him.

Seeing Ding Yang unconscious and covered in bite marks, Ding Chongshan felt as though his heart were being sliced apart. When he looked at Xiang Tian again, he wished he could devour him alive and tear him to pieces!

"Boy, you have some nerve!"

The four words were not loud, but his voice was low, trembling, and hoarse. It was obvious that his rage had reached its limit.

Yet Xiang Tian burst into laughter and flew some distance away, frightening Qiu Changfeng and the teachers behind him out of their wits.

Little ancestor, do not run around! If something happens to you, we cannot bear the consequences!

But Xiang Tian raised a hand toward them, stopping them from approaching.

Then he actually spread his arms wide and looked at Ding Chongshan. "How is it? Do you really want to avenge your son? Come on, I'll stand right here without moving. Hurry up and make your move!"

They were all cultivators—whose ears were not sharp? Hearing Xiang Tian's words, both inside and outside the academy erupted into an uproar.

This guy really had guts. At a time like this, he still dared provoke Ding Chongshan.

"Viewers, did you hear what that young man said? He is simply far too arrogant! What kind of identity and background does he have to dare be so bold? Is he truly confident, or merely fierce on the outside but weak within? Let us wait and see!"

The reporters beside them went mad with their coverage. Their performance this year depended on this event!

"Hahahahaha! I never expected it! I, Ding Chongshan, am such a nobody that even some snot-nosed brat dares provoke me like this!"

Ding Chongshan completely lost his mind. After handing Ding Yang over to someone else, his hair seemed to stand on end with rage as he gathered his power with all his strength.

Qiu Changfeng and the others widened their eyes, preparing to intervene, but they received Xiang Tian's voice transmission: "Do not interfere!"

"Boy, take your life!"

Ding Chongshan roared and struck a palm toward Xiang Tian, while Xiang Tian remained as calm as ever.

Everyone watching held their breath, their hearts pounding wildly.

But just as Ding Chongshan was about to touch Xiang Tian, golden light flashed across heaven and earth. No one saw clearly what happened. A spray of blood shot through the sky, and Ding Chongshan was sent flying backward, only to be caught in a fluster by a group of Ding Family members.

Crash!

The entire crowd was thrown into an uproar. That scene had already been shocking enough, but what happened next shocked them even more.

The space beside Xiang Tian rippled, and a figure appeared.

He had a head full of white hair, yet his face was exceedingly young. Handsome and elegant, merely standing there, his bearing seemed to connect heaven and earth, as though he himself were the heavens!

Seeing him appear, Qiu Changfeng and the others could hardly believe their eyes. Once they came to their senses, they hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Immortal King Changning!"

The Ding Family members on the opposite side were thrown into disarray. They too wanted to bow, but it seemed... somewhat inappropriate at this moment.

Xiang Tian was also somewhat surprised by the Immortal King Changning's appearance. However, out of both gratitude and respect for a senior, he too bowed. "This junior greets the Immortal King. Thank you, Immortal King, for saving me."

The Immortal King Changning merely smiled faintly. "There was no need. Even if I had not acted, I believe you could have dealt with that palm strike. Perhaps Ding Chongshan would even have lost his life here."

Xiang Tian merely chuckled and offered no explanation.

The Immortal King Changning's appearance threw the entire scene into complete chaos. His words especially made the Ding Family members tremble in fear, while the surrounding reporters went utterly mad.

"Viewers, did you see that? The Immortal King Changning has appeared! Did everyone hear what the Immortal King Changning said? Heavens, this is simply unimaginable!"

Then the Immortal King Changning turned his head, his eyes devoid of emotion. "Ding Chongshan, let this matter end here. I do not wish to see the Ding Family, which has endured for ten thousand years, disappear!"

His words were ambiguous, and he did not spell anything out. But in Ding Chongshan's mind, the Immortal King Changning was shielding Xiang Tian. No wonder Xiang Tian had been so bold—an Immortal King had his back!

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Ding Chongshan gritted his teeth and bowed to the Immortal King Changning. Then he turned and led his people away without saying another word. With the Immortal King Changning present, there was no point in making any further trouble.

Heh, an Immortal King has his back. Truly impressive. But this world is not ruled by the Immortal King Changning alone. Today's matter cannot possibly end like this!
