"Tie Xing I thought you were good enough before. Now that you have successfully broken through Dou Zong, when will you be willing to go there Inner Academy to take over my position as the great elder?

As soon as Ye Tianxing finished speaking, the entire Law Enforcement Peak top instantly fell into an eerie silence.

The three elders Mo Xuan, Bing Hong, and Huang Dashan looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

Lei Tian furrowed his brows and his face darkened, obviously not expecting Ye Tianxing to suddenly make such a proposal.

Take over Inner Academy Great Elder?

This is a thankless task.

Tie Xing raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Tianxing with a flat gaze, and his voice was low and cold.

"Great Elder, what do you mean?"

Ye Tianxing laughed, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and his eyes shone with a cunning light, just like an old fox.

He patted Tie Xing on the shoulder, and his tone was so warm that it didn't sound like he was talking about the authority of the academy, but rather like he was selling some huge benefit.

"Tie Xing, you are now Dou Zong, wouldn't it be unworthy of you to stay at Outer Court? Inner Academy is in need of a strong person like you to take charge!"

"And Inner Academy has much richer resources than Outer Court. Heavenly Incineration Qi Tower's core training area, Combat Skill Pavilion's treasured secret book, and even the former dean's training platform are all qualified to be deployed by the great elder."

He lowered his voice, took a step closer, and said mysteriously.

Draw a pie!

Naked pie painting!

Tie Xing's mouth twitched slightly. This familiar routine was exactly the same as when the two old guys tricked him into taking over Law Enforcement Department!

They said the same thing back then.

"Tie Xing, Law Enforcement Department may be a bit tiring, but it has great power! You see, you have the final say on how to learn Academy Rules, who dares to disobey? And resources are allocated first, and the cultivation speed is absolutely fast!"

What's the result?

After he took over, he discovered that Law Enforcement Department was a mess. He dealt with students fighting and elders arguing all day long, and his training time was squeezed out.

Now Ye Tianxing is doing this again?

Tie Xing laughed and refused directly.

"Great Elder, I'm not interested in power. Law Enforcement Department is enough to keep me busy."

Tie Xing looked at Ye Tianxing's persuasive appearance and sneered even more in his heart.

This old fox talks about staying with you for a few years, but in fact he is probably eager to throw away his hands and leave immediately so that he can be free and at ease.

He crossed his arms and spoke indifferently.

"Great Elder, have you probably wanted me to clean up Inner Academy's mess for you these past few years?"

Ye Tianxing's smile froze, then returned to his amiable look, waving his hands.

"Hey, Tie Xing, what you said is beyond the pale! What kind of mess can Inner Academy have? It's nothing more than the competitiveness of the juniors and the occasional small friction between the elders."

"Oh?"

Tie Xing raised his eyebrows, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he already understood what Ye Tianxing was planning.

Heavenly Flames seal, Central Plains family, Inner Academy dispute, among these three, which one is not a hot potato?

He snorted coldly and said.

"Great Elder, are you planning to let me become the scapegoat?"

Ye Tianxing smiled unabated, pretending to be surprised.

"Ouch, Tie Xing, these are terrible words to hear! With your strength and skills, aren't these things easy for you?"

Tie Xing was too lazy to follow him through many twists and turns and just broke through.

"The Heavenly Flames seal will loosen every few years, and a large amount of Dou Qi will be spent on reinforcement each time. If you are not careful, it will be backlashed."

"As for those members of the Central Plains family, they are tyrannical in the Inner Academy, but all of them have deep backgrounds and cannot move or scold them. They can only turn a blind eye. Great Elder, you have been angered a lot these years, right?"

He laughed.

Ye Tianxing finally lost his smile and coughed twice.

"What about this? It's indeed a bit tricky, but with your temperament, you might be able to calm them down."

Tie Xing scoffed.

"Calm down? Hehe, do you want me to be a thug or a peacemaker?"

Ye Tianxing was choked and speechless, and could only smile.

Inner Academy Great Elder?

It sounds beautiful, but it's actually a thankless chore!

Although Outer Court Law Enforcement Department has to deal with the group of desperadoes like Black Corner Region, at least he can grudge his enemies with pleasure, hit him when he is unhappy, and have others beat him up if he can't beat him. How can he be as restrained as Inner Academy?

The members of the Central Plains family are domineering in the Inner Academy, but Jia Nan Academy cannot be beaten or scolded, so they can only swallow their anger.

As for the sealed Heavenly Flames, it is a time bomb. A little carelessness will cause disaster!

Ye Tianxing saw that Tie Xing was resolute and no longer forced it. He just smiled meaningfully, waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

"That's all, Tie Xing, when you figure it out, come to the Inner Academy to find me at any time."

His tone was calm, but there was a hint of profound meaning, as if he had already expected that Tie Xing would one day step into the Inner Academy.

Then, he turned his eyes and landed on Lei Tian, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of ridicule.

"As for Lei Tian, you Dean of the Outer Court have to work harder. Why have you been stuck at Peak Dou Huang for so long?"

Lei Tian heard this, his face suddenly froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched, obviously he was hit in a painful spot.

As Dean of the Outer Court, his strength has not been able to break through Dou Zong, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. Especially when Ye Tianxing broke it in front of Tie Xing, it made him feel depressed.

"The Great Elder was joking, there is no need to rush into a breakthrough."

Lei Tian laughed dryly and reluctantly responded.

Ye Tianxing laughed and said no more. His body flashed and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

After he left, the atmosphere at Law Enforcement Peak relaxed slightly.

The three elders Mo Xuan, Bing Hong, and Huang Dashan looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to say anything.

After all, the fact that Lei Tian's breakthrough was blocked is no longer a secret among the academy's senior leaders.

Tie Xing glanced at Lei Tian and said calmly.

"Dean Lei, you really can't rush your cultivation."

Lei Tian took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and smiled reluctantly.

"Elder Tie Xing is right."

However, a trace of unwillingness flashed deep in his eyes.

Outer Court is also a senior executive, Tie Xing has stepped into Dou Zong, but he is still lingering at Peak Dou Huang. This gap gave him a faint sense of urgency in his heart.

"It seems it's time to go to Heavenly Incineration Qi Tower!"

Lei Tian thought to himself.

Since there was nothing to do, the elders or mentors gathered here naturally left in a hurry.

After returning to the Alchemy Department, many students could no longer restrain their curiosity and gathered around them.

"Senior Brother Jiang! What happened to Law Enforcement Peak's upward momentum just now?"

A young student asked impatiently.

"Yes Senior Brother Jiang, we felt a terrifying pressure from a distance, even the flames in the medicine cauldron trembled!"

Another student echoed, his eyes full of excitement.

Dong Hua was leaning against the pillars of the Alchemy Department hall at this time, with his arms folded across his chest and a faint smile on his lips, looking like an expert from outside the world.

"Senior Brother Jiang, you are well-informed, tell us quickly!"

When several clever students saw this, they immediately brought chairs, and someone even offered them a cup of hot tea.

Dong Hua sat down slowly, took the tea cup, blew the tea noodles gently, and then spoke leisurely.

"That momentum just now was caused by someone breaking through to Dou Zong."

"Dou Zong?!"

All the students' eyes suddenly widened and they took a deep breath.

"Oh my God!"

"Is it Dean Lei Tian? Or Elder Tie Xing of the Law Enforcement Department?"

Someone speculated.

Dong Hua shook his head and said calmly.

"As a practitioner, the most taboo thing is to aim too high. Instead of caring about the realm of others, it is better to refine your own elixir first."

Upon hearing this, all the students nodded in agreement, but the shock and yearning in their eyes did not diminish at all.

After all, that is Dou Zong!

Looking at the entire Jia Nan Academy, there are only a few people who can reach this level!
