Peace Town, Grand Elder Su Qian
We walked and chatted along the way.
Even though time passed slowly, after about two hours, Xiao Lin and Huo Dian finally stepped into the territory of Peace Town.
Unlike in the Black-Corner Region, everyone Xiao Lin met generally treated those who passed by with a wary and scrutinizing attitude.
Peace Town, just like its name suggests, presents an overall peaceful scene.
Oh, wait, Xiao Lin witnessed a rather unpleasant scene.
On a large tree on the outermost edge of Peace Town, several corpses hung naked.
Furthermore, these corpses were all at the Dou Wang level in life!
This is rather frightening.
This tree is known as the "Death Spirit Tree" by the people of the Jia Nan Academy and Peace Town!
Anyone from the Black-Corner Region who dares to bring its customs to Peace Town will be in for a Death Spirit Tree -ending event the very next day.
It is said that the corpse of Dou Huang expert once hung on this Death Spirit Tree!
Although the Death Spirit Tree seemed somewhat out of place with the atmosphere of Peace Town, Xiao Lin and Huo Dian found that the people here seemed to have gotten used to it after entering.
In fact, rather than saying that the corpses hanging on the Death Spirit Tree are an eyesore, it's more accurate to say that this is a form of deterrence for the Jia Nan Academy!
It's important to know that many people in Peace Town are actually family members of students, teachers, and Elder from the Jia Nan Academy.
If Jia Nan Academy doesn't exert a strong deterrent effect on the outside world, Peace Town might be torn down by those guys in the Black-Corner Region in no time.
Therefore, in order to establish its authority, Jia Nan Academy eventually created this Death Spirit Tree.
Upon entering Peace Town, one is essentially entering the sphere of influence of the Jia Nan Academy.
Others in the Black-Corner Region would not dare to cause trouble in Peace Town easily.
Unless the other party is tired of living, or doesn't want to stay in the Black-Corner Region anymore, they might as well give it a try!
"It's really different here from outside!"
Walking on the road in Peace Town, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right. Peace Town is within the sphere of influence of our Jia Nan Academy. Those scumbags in the Black-Corner Region wouldn't dare to cause trouble here if they wanted to stay!"
At this point, Huo Dian's face showed a proud expression.
He's proud to be a member of the Jia Nan Academy.
Xiao Lin simply smiled at this.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lin and Huo Dian were discovered by members of the Peace Town's Law Enforcement Team as soon as they entered Peace Town.
Because the four students who had accompanied Huo Dian had returned earlier, the members of the Law Enforcement Team were aware of some of the truth of the matter.
At first, they were on high alert when they saw Xiao Lin.
But after noticing that their Elder Huo was chatting and laughing with the other party, they quietly relaxed a little.
What they feared most was that by the time they saw Elder Huo, he would already be a corpse...
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
I wonder what kind of expression Huo Dian will have when he finds out what these Law Enforcement Team members are thinking?
Since Huo Dian was alive and well, and even chatted and laughed with Xiao Lin all the way here, the Law Enforcement Team members in Peace Town certainly wouldn't be so tactless as to show hostility.
"Greetings Elder Huo! ×n"
Therefore, when these Law Enforcement Team members passed by Xiao Lin and Huo Dian, they simply greeted Huo Dian respectfully and then left.
Huo Dian simply nodded in response to their greetings.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also discovered that the members of these Law Enforcement Team were at least Da Dou Shi Masters, and many of them had even reached the Dou Ling.
It's safe to say that if such power were placed in the Jia Ma Empire, even the Dou Wang Family probably wouldn't dare to challenge it!
And this still belongs to the lower-level forces of the Jia Nan Academy.
This demonstrates just how terrifying Jia Nan Academy's strength truly is in the Northwest Continent!
After entering Peace Town, Xiao Lin and Huo Dian walked and stopped frequently. Every now and then, Xiao Lin would stop to look around, and then Huo Dian would explain something to him.
And so, after another hour and a half, the two finally arrived at the gate of the Jia Nan Academy.
And here, several people were already waiting!
The leader was a robust old man with a black robe, white beard, and white hair.
That's right. Despite his appearance as an old man, he looks burly and doesn't seem to fit the description of an old person at all.
This person is none other than First Elder Su Qian, the current de facto ruler of the Jia Nan Academy!
He is also the only Dou Zong officially recognized by the Jia Nan Academy!
Behind Su Qian were several other figures.
Xiao Lin could sense that those figures all possessed the cultivation level of Dou Emperor!
This is only a portion of the strength that Jia Nan Academy has revealed to the outside world. If its hidden strength is also included, it would probably be enough to sweep through the entire Black-Corner Region.
This is also why Jia Nan Academy, located in the Black-Corner Region, is almost universally respected and respected.
Everything is decided by force!
"First Elder, I didn't expect you to come in person!"
The moment Huo Dian saw Su Qian, he ran over excitedly.
"Elder Huo, you must be tired from your journey!"
When Su Qian saw Huo Dian running over, he was smiling, but he was actually on guard against Xiao Lin taking the opportunity to attack.
Although he had already learned from the four students who returned early that this Dou Zong named Lin Xiao seemed to be a decent person.
But sometimes, seeing is believing.
Xiao Lin did not react to this.
He wasn't there to attack Jia Nan Academy, so there was no need for him to do anything that might cause misunderstanding.
Then, Xiao Lin quietly watched as Huo Dian whispered something to Su Qian.
As Huo Dian recounted his story, Su Qian's expression gradually relaxed.
While the four students might still be fooled by the Dou Zong in front of them, Huo Dian was, after all, a Dou Wang.
He trusted Huo Dian's judgment!
Since the person genuinely wanted to serve as an Elder at the Jia Nan Academy, he naturally welcomed them.
He's a Dou Zong, no doubt!
It should be noted that Dean Mang Tianchi is rarely at the academy, and the two elders, Qian Bai Er Lao and Er Lao, will only intervene when the academy is in a life-or-death situation. In addition, that damned Dean of the Outer Academy is also traveling around most of the time. The pressure he bears is unimaginable.
If a Dou Zong truly wanted to the Jia Nan Academy, he'd be laughing in his sleep!
However, what needs to be determined now is the other party's true intentions.
Although four academy students and Huo Dian had a good impression of this Dou Zong, Su Qian, as the First Elder of the Jia Nan Academy, still wanted to personally investigate Xiao Lin's abilities.
