Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon, a City Aflame with Rumors

Within a secluded courtyard of the Dragon Firmament Academy.

A mentor who originally belonged to the Grand Elder's faction was respectfully reporting something to the communication jade slip in his hand.

When he heard the reply from the other end of the jade slip that "the sect leader has arrived in person," a relieved smile instantly appeared on his face.

He cut off the communication, a cold gleam of pleasure flashing in his eyes.

[Hmph, that old bastard Lin Bo'an, and that arrogant ' Dongfang Ri '...]

The sect leader of the Heavenly Star Sect is a true Golden Core expert! His personal descent is already an immense honor!

[Then let's see how arrogant you all are!]

Just as he was feeling smug!

Sudden!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four terrifying auras, filled with coldness and savagery, descended from the sky without warning, instantly enveloping the entire Dragon Firmament Academy!

[Foundation Establishment?!]

[And... there are four?!]

He was horrified, rushed out of the courtyard, and looked up!

at the same time.

The plaza of the Dragon Firmament Academy was already in complete chaos.

Yun Qian and Yun Han were looking at the figure not far away with complicated expressions— Qu Yutang —who was being looked up to by countless people with eyes full of awe and worship.

Since that day, Qu Yutang has become the undisputed "spiritual leader" of the entire vice dean's faction!

The brother and sister, because of their "flattery" towards Shi Hao, were ostracized and scorned.

Yun Qian's heart was filled with resentment and jealousy!

Why should I?!

[Back then, I was the one who met 'Senior Dongfang ' first! If my brother hadn't stopped me, I would be the one enjoying this glory now!]

Just then!

Those four terrifying Foundation Establishment auras descended with a deafening roar!

"This is a business at the Wind and Moon Pavilion! All irrelevant personnel, please disperse immediately!"

"Hand over the murderer— Dongfang Ri! Otherwise, today, Longxiao will be purged of blood!"

Leading the group was none other than Elder Xue of the Wind and Moon Pavilion, a genuine Mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert!

His voice was icy cold, like ice that had stood for millennia, sending a chill down the spines of all the students present!

The students were instantly plunged into utter panic!

[The Wind and Moon Pavilion?!]

[Four... four Foundation Establishment?!]

When Yun Qian heard the words "Dongfang Ri", she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes burst with unparalleled joy!

[Hahaha! Karma! This is karma!]

[Dongfang Ri, Dongfang Ri! No matter how powerful you are, so what?!]

[You've offended the Wind and Moon Pavilion! They're a Foundation Establishment expert!]

This time, you're dead!

Only Qu Yutang frowned slightly upon hearing this name, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. But then, she remembered the man's supreme divine power in annihilating a Foundation Establishment with a single finger, and her worry gradually subsided.

"Fellow Daoists, please calm down! Please calm down!"

Vice Dean Lin Bo'an, along with a group of mentors, quickly stepped forward, adopting an extremely humble posture.

"There seems to be some misunderstanding in this matter!"

"Misunderstanding?" Elder Xue sneered, and an even more terrifying pressure suddenly erupted, causing Lin Bo'an's blood to surge and him to retreat several steps!

"A life for a life, that's only right! What misunderstanding is there?!"

"Hand over Dongfang Ri! Or die!"

Lin Bo'an's face instantly turned extremely ugly!

And just then!

Those mentors who originally belonged to the Grand Elder's faction seemed to see an opportunity!

Zhou Hai, who was in charge of admissions at the time, was the first to step forward!

He pointed at Lin Bo'an and shouted at Elder Xue, "Four seniors! This matter has nothing to do with us!"

"That Dongfang Ri was protected by that old bastard Lin Bo'an! We've disliked him for a long time!"

"That's right! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor! We urge the four seniors to investigate thoroughly!"

In an instant, the entire Dragon Firmament Academy was filled with panic and completely divided!

Lin Bo'an looked at his "colleagues" who had turned against him, and he was so angry that he trembled all over. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Above the sky.

Elder Xue looked down at the farcical scene below, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

He slowly raised his hand.

"Since you refuse to hand over the people..."

"Then, all of you, die."

Endless frost began to condense in his palm!

A terrifying aura, powerful enough to completely freeze the entire Dragon Firmament Academy, suddenly descended!

Below, everyone's face showed an expression of "despair"!

Right at this critical moment!

A calm voice, seemingly tinged with impatience, drifted from the distant horizon.

"What a bunch of noisy flies."

The next moment.

A golden streak of light tore through the sky and arrived in an instant!

That golden streak of light was incredibly fast!

In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Dragon Firmament Academy, his radiance fading as he transformed into a tall figure dressed in green!

The Dongfang Yueming!

"It's... it's him!!"

"Dongfang Mentor!!"

Below, the teachers and students of Lin Bo'an's lineage, upon seeing the newcomer, were filled with unparalleled joy!

When Yun Qian saw that calm yet familiar face, she sneered disdainfully.

[Hmph, idiot! He actually dared to come back to his death!]

Although she was surprised by Dongfang Yueming's courage, she felt more schadenfreude than anything else!

[No matter how capable you are, what can you do?!]

[You're facing four... genuine Foundation Establishment experts!]

She could almost foresee the tragic end that awaited Dongfang Yueming, who would be torn to pieces!

Lin Bo'an's heart was also filled with worry and bitterness.

Although he had personally witnessed Dongfang Yueming's supreme divine power in killing Shi Tianxiong with a single finger.

But that was, after all, just a powerful cultivator in the Early-stage Foundation Establishment!

But now, there are four of them before us! The aura of any one of them is far superior to that of Shi Tianxiong back then!

There is absolutely no chance of winning this battle!

"You are Dongfang Ri?"

Elder Xue, who was at the head of the group, slowly withdrew his hand that was about to strike. Although he was the weakest of the four, he had still reached the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment! His eyes, as cold as ice, fell on Dongfang Yueming, and his voice was icy and piercing.

However, the next moment, the expression on his face suddenly froze!

Because a Foundation Establishment aura far more refined than his own suddenly erupted from that young man!

"Wh... what?!"

"Foundation Establishment?! He... he's actually also at the Foundation Establishment?!"

Not only him, but everyone present was completely stunned the moment they sensed this aura!

The gloating on the faces of those from the former Grand Elder's faction instantly froze!

The teachers and students of Lin Bo'an's lineage were initially stunned, but then overjoyed, and the flame of hope was rekindled in their eyes!

"Hahaha!" After a brief moment of shock, Elder Xue suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Excellent! Excellent! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"I thought I was just here to crush an ant! But I never expected to catch such a big fish!"

His eyes blazed with boundless greed!

"Boy! Hand over all your secrets! I might consider giving you a quick death!"

The three Foundation Establishment elders beside him, whose auras were even more powerful, had already revealed cruel smiles, completely sealing off all of Dongfang Yueming's escape routes!

In their view, even if the opponent was also at the Foundation Establishment, the advantage was still theirs in a four-on-one situation!

Elder Xue stopped wasting words, raised his hand, and pointed at Dongfang Yueming from afar!

"Second-tier intermediate spiritual technique - Mystic Ice Finger!"
