With the destruction of the Heaven-Sinking Netherlight Formation, the Grand Elder was also stunned for a moment.
A cold voice rang out, causing the Grand Elder to turn his gaze directly toward the source of the sound.
There stood an elderly man with flowing white hair and a cold expression, watching this scene unfold.
Before the Grand Elder could speak, the old man formed hand seals, let out a deep shout, and unleashed a palm strike towards the giant staff!
Under the palm print, the downward momentum of the giant club came to a complete halt!
After a brief collision between the palm print and the giant staff, they canceled each other out, the palm print disappeared, and the giant staff transformed back into a long staff, landing in the Grand Elder's hand.
The First Elder stared at the old man with a grim expression, gritting his teeth as he said, word by word, "Third Elder... you've actually broken through to the Late-Stage Lord Divine Realm?"
That's right, the person who came was the Third Elder.
After taking the pill given to him by Lu Changsheng, Xu Yeming did not collapse, but instead looked at the Third Elder.
Previously, the First Elder had told him not to trust the Third Elder.
Just to be on the safe side, Prince Scarlet Flame was sent to monitor the Third Elder. However, the Third Elder continued his cultivation day after day, or taught his disciples, or handled the affairs of the academy, without anything particularly noteworthy.
Now that the First Elder has confirmed that he is on the opposite side of Xu Yeming, the appearance of the Third Elder has completely dispelled Xu Yeming's doubts and made him feel enlightened!
It seems that the Third Elder is the one who is truly on their side.
"I didn't expect you to make a move after all." The First Elder said with a gloomy face, "But with your strength, how could you possibly break the Heaven-Sinking Netherlight Formation?"
Keep in mind, even a Domain Divine Realm expert would need a considerable amount of time to break through this barrier!
The Third Elder said calmly, "Your every move has been under my surveillance. Since you were able to find the Heaven-Sinking Netherlight Formation in advance, how could I not have thought of a way to break it? It's just that my method of breaking it was not used."
Didn't you use it?
Does that mean there are other powerful individuals helping them?
The First Elder's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze fell on the Third Elder's side.
A figure appeared in an instant.
Upon seeing this person, the Grand Elder's pupils contracted sharply, and he even stammered.
"The... Dean?!"
That's right, the person who came was Dean Cangxuan.
Dean Cangxuan stared at the Grand Elder and said calmly, "Grand Elder, have you ever considered that you are still the Grand Elder of our Cangxuan Academy? How could you do something like bullying a junior for personal gain?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, the Grand Elder sneered loudly, "Bullying juniors for profit? Dean, you're too naive. This is the Chaos Realm! Don't all the forces in the Chaos Realm do the same thing?"
Dean Cangxuan shook his head and said, "Bearing the heavy responsibility of spreading the Dao, how could our Cangxuan Academy possibly collude with other forces?"
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need for any more righteous words." The Grand Elder glanced at Xu Yeming and said coldly, "No wonder they're so fearless... However, I don't understand why the Dean is on their side, even though they're not students of the Cangxuan Academy... or even from the Chaos Realm!"
Dean Cangxuan shook his head and said, "This is none of your business. You've been in the position of Grand Elder for too long, causing you to forget who you are and the rules of the Cangxuan Academy... In that case, you should step down and give way to a more worthy person."
At this point, Dean Cangxuan looked down at Xu Yeming and the other person, and smiled, "Is it timely?"
Xu Yeming rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
They almost got hit to death with a stick, and now they're asking if it's timely or not???
"You promised to let us do whatever we wanted, and that you'd take care of everything."
Dean Cangxuan stroked his beard and chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing... Besides, this wasn't my idea, it was that person's idea."
"I can't let you have a smooth journey. Some life-or-death situations need to be experienced firsthand. It's better for you to struggle desperately afterward. Otherwise, if I just take action directly, you won't get the opportunity to learn."
I'm sure your master thinks the same way.
Lu Changsheng: It wasn't me, I didn't do it!
Xu Yeming was somewhat helpless; so that was his plan.
Ye Qiubai put the jade pendant he was holding back on his chest.
I almost called my master for help just now.
"Alright, let's talk about this back at the academy..." Dean Cangxuan had just finished speaking.
Suddenly, the Grand Elder sneered, "Oh? Although my plan failed, even you, Dean, might not be able to protect them, would you?"
Even as the First Elder was still speaking, Dean Cangxuan and the Third Elder looked back with grave expressions.
Nine streaks of light were rapidly approaching.
Just moments ago they seemed to be far away, but in the blink of an eye, nine figures had already landed in front of Dean Cangxuan and the others.
One of them exclaimed upon seeing the Dean, "Dean? The Third Elder?"
"Heh, it seems the Fourth Elder has partnered with the Xu and Xuanyuan families?" the Third Elder said indifferently.
Dean Cangxuan, however, focused his attention on the Purple Fire Domain God, for he was the only one who could attract Dean Cangxuan's attention in this place.
There is no other reason.
The Purple Fire Domain God is even a level stronger than Dean Cangxuan!
After all, the Purple Fire Domain God came from the High Antiquity Xu Clan Aristocratic Clan, and was the Xu Clan's first elder...
"Oh? I didn't expect the people here to be so diverse." The Purple Fire Domain God raised an eyebrow slightly, then pointed at Xu Yeming, "But that's none of my business. Just leave him to me, and you can do whatever you want with the rest."
His tone was soft, and his voice wasn't loud, but what he said conveyed an unyielding attitude that wouldn't allow anyone to question him!
This confidence stems from strength and the backing it has.
The elder of the Xu Clan, who was using a cane, also planted his cane in mid-air and said calmly, "What? Dean Cangxuan also wants to get involved? In that case, he might as well consider whether he can withstand the wrath of the Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan."
An elder from the Xuanyuan Clan spoke up, saying, " Dean Cangxuan should be a sensible person, especially since Xu Yeming has no connection with your Cangxuan Academy."
The Fourth Elder then looked at the First Elder, his face grim, and said, "I couldn't guess what you were planning to do before, but I never expected you to dare to snatch someone right under the noses of the Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan?"
The Grand Elder's face was grim.
For him, this was the worst possible outcome.
Not only did they fail to win over Xu Yeming, but they also attracted the attention of the Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan.
The days that followed were going to be tough...
Faced with the crowd's words, Dean Cangxuan smiled and said, "For certain reasons, Xu Yeming Cangxuan Academy is truly determined to protect Xu Yeming, even if your Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan join forces."
oh?
The Purple Fire Domain God raised an eyebrow slightly; this confidence...
"You've left yourself a backup plan?"
Seeing all the powerful figures present vying for Xu Yeming, though it wasn't a friendly competition...
However, this also demonstrates Xu Yeming's importance.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan, who was standing next to the Fourth Elder, turned pale.
I recalled the harsh words I said to him during our previous arguments.
Now it seems... I'm not good enough?
