Wang Qi felt a cold sweat pour down his face, and he knelt on the ground, filled with extreme regret.
I shouldn't have accepted that idiot Xiao Xing's invitation!
He had witnessed the methods of the person in front of him before. If the other party got angry, being expelled from the Primordial Holy Heaven would be a minor matter, but being crippled by the other party with One Sword strike would be a much bigger problem!
At that moment, he felt an urge to kill that idiot Xiao Xing!
As Senior Brother Wang bowed, everyone present was stunned.
"Housemaster... Housemaster?"
Almost everyone stared wide-eyed in bewilderment. This senior brother from the Primordial Holy Institute was addressing the other party as the Academy Master?
Looking at Lin Xuan, an utterly absurd idea suddenly popped into their minds.
This... this is impossible!
Is this young man in white the head of the Supreme Institute?
What kind of beings are those?
No matter what kind of the Thearch Realm Lineage or sect has Great Emperor Ancient Emperor presiding over it, they are all... ants in front of such a person!
And such a person is right in front of them right now?
Even just now, many people were showing mocking smiles...
Xiao Xing, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
He stiffly turned to look at Lin Xuan, his face full of disbelief, and forced a smile, "Senior Brother Wang, you, what are you talking about? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, he met Wang Qi's cold, murderous gaze, as if he would be attacked without mercy if he uttered another word.
Even though he knew that this was the Supreme City and no one would dare to make a move, Xiao Xing still felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze and was completely stunned.
He knew that Senior Brother Wang was serious.
In other words...
This person is truly the head of the Supreme Institute!
He... offended the headmaster!
Once he realized what he had done, Xiao Xing's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground, unable to utter a word.
Especially when he thought about what he had just said, he felt a chill run down his spine and wished he could slap himself.
he...
What has he done?!
"Dean, Dean, I, I..."
Xiao Xing stammered, trying to say something to salvage the situation, but it was too late.
Lin Xuan glanced at the group of people indifferently. He wasn't so bored as to draw his sword and kill someone over such a trivial matter, especially within the boundaries of his own Supreme Institute.
He left behind the words, "Take care of yourself."
He then left with Qu Youmeng and Yunyi.
After the others left, only Xiao Xing, who was almost paralyzed, Xiao Ting, who was still in a daze, and Wang Qi, who finally dared to straighten up after Lin Xuan left.
He slowly exhaled, as if he had survived a disaster.
Then, glaring angrily at Xiao Xing, she snapped, "Don't come looking for me again! Our relationship is over!"
"For the sake of our past relationship, I won't cause you any trouble, but as for the rest... hmph!"
Having said that, he turned and left!
Although Senior Brother Wang personally said he wouldn't cause trouble, the Xiao brothers knew that they would be in big trouble later...
At the same time, some people were expressing their sorrow.
"Ugh... this is troublesome!"
Heavenly Dance City, the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect sighed deeply, his brows furrowed in deep frown.
He, the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect, and many other forces that fled from the Profound Domain now live in Heavenly Martial City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Domain.
Previously, they wielded immense power in the Profound Domain, but now, even when they joined forces, they still appeared weak and isolated. They could only gather together and form a force called the Ancient Profound Alliance, essentially merging the Ancient Alliance and the Profound Alliance into one, barely managing to establish themselves and survive in this place.
When they first arrived at this place, they were all utterly shocked.
powerful!
That's incredibly powerful!
In the Profound Domain, the number of the Thearch Realm experts is practically negligible, and before the appearance of those two from the Sword Pavilion, the Profound Domain didn't even have a single Thearch Realm. But now, here they are!
In Heavenly Martial City, although those at the Thearch Realm are powerful, they are not rare individuals.
Just considering the city they are currently in, although it is not large, it has several experts at the Thearch Realm.
Looking at the entire Primordial Domain, there are even more.
Moreover, it is said that the overlord of the Primordial Domain, the Primordial Holy Heaven, has six academies, and the Holy Master of any one of the academies is Thearch Realm!
Among them, there are quite a few Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor.
It's terrifying.
Knowing that this place was no longer a small place like the Profound Domain, the members of the Ancient Profound Alliance acted very discreetly in the city. At first, it was fine because the Ancient Profound Alliance was not strong and did not even have Thearch Realm. The major Great Emperor Realm forces in the city never took the Ancient Profound Alliance seriously.
However, a recent dispute has put the Ancient Profound Alliance in a very bad situation.
This is the trouble that the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect mentioned.
The main parties involved in the conflict were not the Ancient Profound Alliance, but the Great Emperor Realm Lineage in the city.
The Lü Household and the Jin Household.
The two Lineage are both long-established Lineage in the city, and have a long history of enmity and constant disputes, each wanting to put the other to death.
As a newcomer to the Ancient Profound Alliance, it was natural that they needed a powerful backer.
Without a powerful backer, there's not even room to survive in the city. You have to understand, Heavenly Martial City has long been controlled by several Great Emperor Realm Lineage.
Therefore, they had no choice but to choose one to rely on.
The Jin Household is the backer and the entity to which the Ancient Profound Alliance relies.
Therefore, the Ancient Profound Alliance needs to pay a considerable amount of Spirit Stone to the Jin Household Lineage every month in order to continue to survive in Ancient Profound City.
This is the price of dependence.
However, the conflict between the Lü Household Lineage and the Jin Household Lineage has recently reached its peak, with their respective Thearch Realm ancestors engaging in a fierce battle, truly enraged.
Unfortunately, the Jin Household Lineage was at a disadvantage in this conflict!
The Jin Household Lineage's Thearch Realm patriarch is currently in seclusion with serious injuries. Many of the Jin Household Lineage's properties in the city have already been taken over by the Lü Household Lineage and made their own. The situation is not optimistic.
This has caused great concern within the Ancient Profound Alliance.
A group of people, including the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect, dared not leave the alliance territory even a step. Ji Ruyuan and other prodigies of the Ancient Profound Alliance were also ordered not to venture out for training, otherwise...
Be careful you don't even know how you died!
For the Ancient Profound Alliance, the outcome of the Jin Household's victory or defeat completely determined their own life or death.
Since they belong to the Jin Household, the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect doesn't believe that once the Jin Household Lineage is destroyed, the Lü Household will let go of those forces that are dependent on the Jin Household Lineage...
The other high-ranking members of the Ancient Profound Alliance and the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect gathered together, their minds heavy with worries, and their faces all bearing bitter smiles.
Back in the Profound Domain, they were all powerful sects that dominated their respective regions, or revered ancient clans and imperial families. But here, they're nothing...
What was their imperial family?
Lineage that once produced Thearch Realm.
What about the imperial family here?
Yes, there are, and there are even more than one, living Lineage at the Thearch Realm!
The contrast is truly stark.
Of course, the most devastated were undoubtedly the likes of Ji Ruyuan and other prodigies.
Back in the Profound Domain, they were all top-tier geniuses, but here...
Their so-called talent is utterly worthless...
Just as the group was at their wits' end, someone suddenly arrived from outside. It was a member of the Ancient Profound Alliance, and his face was extremely grim.
Although he could tell what was going on just by looking at the other person's expression, the sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect still couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation outside?"
The visitor shook his head with a wry smile, " The Jin Household patriarch is still seriously injured and hasn't emerged yet; I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but just let out a heavy sigh.
This sigh also reached the heart of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect Master.
He swayed, slumped into a chair, and, clutching his head in despair, said, "What other bad news? Just tell me everything..."
"No, that's not available."
The visitor pursed his lips slightly, exhaled softly, and said thoughtfully, "However, there is another piece of news, the importance of which is unknown."
"The whole city is buzzing with talk about how the Supreme Institute, one of the three inner academies of the Primordial Holy Heaven, has finally got a new headmaster."
"The new headmaster...?"
The sect leader of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect murmured, then shook his head bitterly.
Even if there is a new headmaster, what does it have to do with them?
