The Grand Dean
"Chu Kingdom, Dubian Town!"
The masters below were startled. A year ago, most people present might not have known where this place was, but now the name 'Dubian Town' had become famous throughout the entire Vast Continent.
The fundamental reason is that there is a small shop called 'Mysterious Bookstore' in Dubian Town, which rose like a comet and became the most dazzling new star on the Azure Dragon Continent.
It's the kind that sparkles.
The moment those three words were uttered, all the grandmasters were startled, because on the entire Azure Dragon Continent, the number of forces capable of killing Seventh Dean Teng Chong could be counted on one hand, and among them was the Mysterious Bookstore.
The Saint who was able to defeat Saint Chu Feng Yiming, and the mysterious owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, I heard that they later subdued a Divine Beast, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Any one of these three could easily defeat Teng Chong, and the first two could even kill him without much trouble.
Dubian Town is now the place where the Seventh Dean met his end, and everyone is beginning to have a vague idea of who killed Seventh Dean.
"Hmm? Hurry up and go!" The Fifth Dean glared at Li Changsheng and roared angrily.
"This..." Li Changsheng hesitated, glancing at the Third Dean. Seeing that the Third Dean's eyes were fixed on the beam above, clearly indicating he didn't intend to stop the Fifth Dean, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Fifth Dean."
After saying this, Li Changsheng turned and left the council hall.
"Fifth brother, don't be impulsive," the Third Dean whispered, watching Li Changsheng leave.
Although Teng Chong, the Seventh Dean, was the weakest among the Grand Dean of Cangmang, he had still reached the Peak of Spirit Saint Seventh Stage realm. Even in front of a powerful figure at the ninth Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint realm, he would have enough resources to escape. Now that Teng Chong has died, it proves that the opponent's strength has exceeded the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint realm, at least reaching the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint realm, or even stepping into the Half-Step Immortal Realm.
The Fifth Dean's strength is only at the Spirit Saint eighth stage peak realm, not even reaching the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint level. If he rushes over there so rashly, it would be fine if he only wants to collect Teng Chong's body, but if he wants to avenge Teng Chong, he will be a little overwhelmed and might even end up getting himself killed.
Given the Fifth Dean's volatile temper, the outcome of him running over there will definitely be the second one, and then a major battle between the two sides will be inevitable.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I know what I'm doing." The Fifth Dean replied, then strode towards the exit of the council hall. Wherever he went, the Grandmasters made way, leaving behind a trail of leaping flames.
"Third Dean, shouldn't you stop the Fifth Dean?" An elderly master in black robes stepped forward and asked the Third Dean.
The Third Dean sighed and said, "Don't you know his temper? Once he's made up his mind, who can stop him?"
"So we're just going to send the Fifth Dean to Dubian Town like this?" the black-robed grandmaster elder said worriedly. The momentum of the Mysterious Bookstore the past year has been too fierce. Now, it is even ranked as the number one power in the Azure Dragon Continent, squeezing out their Vast Academy.
Not to mention, given the strength of the Mysterious Bookstore, if the Fifth Dean were to go and cause trouble for them, the outcome would probably be no different from that of the Seventh Dean.
After all, if someone dares to kill the Seventh Dean, they certainly dare to kill the Fifth Dean as well.
"I'll go and take a look." The Third Dean shook his head and got up to leave.
"Where to?" Suddenly, a mocking voice came from outside. The black-robed grandmasters, who had been huddled together, suddenly split into two lines, leaving an empty space in the middle. They bowed slightly and greeted him in unison, "Grand Dean."
A woman who looked to be only about thirty years old strolled over. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and her long hair was tied up but was a little messy. The hairpin was inserted at an angle, and whether it was due to poor hairstyling or something else, a strand of hair fell out and landed on her right cheek, which added a touch of charm.
The woman had delicate features: peach blossom eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a high nose, full lips, and an oval face. Every smile and frown of hers exuded charm and allure.
She was wearing a purple long robe, but it was worn casually, with one shoulder slipping down to reveal the red halter top strap.
The woman paid no attention, instead frequently placing her fair hand on her chest and lifting her long robe to reveal glimpses of her breasts, like a half-hidden soft bosom.
Those who watched it blushed and their hearts raced.
This is Cang Lan, the Grand Dean of the Vast Academy!
"Grand Dean." The Third Dean could only stop and bow in greeting when he saw Cang Lan enter.
"Dean Zhen, where are you going?" Cang Lan walked slowly to the central Grand Tutor Chair, sat down gently, and asked casually.
"Grand Dean, the Fifth Dean has gone to Dubian Town. The opponent's strength is unfathomable, and the Fifth Dean has a volatile temper. I'm afraid he might cause trouble in a moment of impulsiveness, so I want to go and see for myself," the Third Dean explained.
Rather than saying they were causing trouble, it was more accurate to say they were afraid the Fifth Dean would die in Dubian Town. But they certainly couldn't say that, otherwise, where would the reputation of the Vast Academy be?
"What does his troubles have to do with you?" Cang Lan raised her hand slightly, and a plate of grapes appeared out of thin air in front of her. She picked up a grape and slowly put it in her mouth.
"Grand Dean, the Seventh Dean has already died in Dubian Town. If the Fifth Dean also falls ill, it will be a heavy blow to the Vast Academy and will inevitably cause panic within the academy." The Third Dean replied with a worried look. The Grand Dean and the Fifth Dean have always been at odds, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are enemies. Originally, the Third Dean thought that these were all internal conflicts and that they would unite when facing external threats. He did not expect that the Grand Dean was still the same, as if he wished the Fifth Dean would die in Dubian Town.
"The dean is dead, we can just recruit him again, why is there any talk of internal panic?" Cang Lan didn't care at all, spitting out the grape skin, which turned to ashes in the air with a 'whoosh'.
"Grand Dean!" The Third Elder frowned.
"Alright, alright, look at your expression, Dean Zhen, it's like your son has died. Fine, fine, since you want to go, I'll go with you too, and I'll also check out that amazing Bookstore." Cang Lan waved her hand, and the grape plate in front of her disappeared. She sat up from the Grand Tutor Chair, stretched lazily, and her long robe fell down her waist.
"Whoosh"
All the grandmasters in the council hall bowed their heads, including the Third Dean.
"Hehe," Cang Lan laughed without any hesitation, pointing at the crowd in the hall and saying, "Look at you all, a bunch of blockheads who only know how to cultivate. How boring must life be for you!"
Whether it was mockery or lamentation, as the last word fell, Cang Lan's figure disappeared from the council hall, and no one realized how she left.
"The Grand Dean's cultivation has improved again..."
