Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Assessment Ends

Hearing Jun Feng’s words, Deacon Elder Zhao Zhi frowned. He understood that by Mo Wangchen killing Jun Yao, the matter had completely blown up.

But after a moment, the Great Elder took a deep breath and said, "I will personally investigate this matter and ensure justice for Jun Yao. Let’s end today’s assessment here. Let’s return to the Academy!"

"Zhao Zhi!"

Jun Feng shouted sternly, hearing that the other party was clearly taking sides with Mo Wangchen.

"I am a Deacon Elder of the Academy. Now, someone has killed a fellow disciple right before my eyes, and the one who died is my nephew, the pride of the Jun Family. Do you really think we can let this matter go?!"

"No matter who he is to you, Jun Feng, or which power supports him, Jun Yao was a disciple of Yun Chu Academy. As the Great Elder of the Outer Court, I must act impartially. You, Jun Feng, know the true cause of this incident. As I said, I will investigate it myself. If the Jun Family wishes to inquire, they can come to me!"

The Great Elder also snorted coldly. He had long had someone thoroughly investigate the issues between the Jun Family and Mo Wangchen.

Moreover, the Great Elder had already secretly investigated the matter concerning Zhong Bin, which was a scheme set up by Jun Yao, who wanted to crush Mo Wangchen during this assessment!

It was Zhong Bin and Jun Yao who most wanted to reveal their murderous intent towards Mo Wangchen. Zhao Zhi was very clear about that.

But no matter what, killing a fellow disciple was a great crime, especially since Jun Yao was the Jun Family’s prodigy, and they would certainly not let it go easily.

Therefore, Mo Wangchen needed protection, but they could not just gloss over matters with the Jun Family!

"Very well!"

After hearing Zhao Zhi’s words, Jun Feng laughed angrily, "What a Great Elder, what a Mo Wangchen!"

"My Jun Family will certainly not let this matter rest, just you all wait!"

With that, Jun Feng picked up Jun Yao’s body and with a leap, flew swiftly away from the place. He had to return and report what had happened here to the Jun Family!

"Notify the disciples scattered throughout the mountain range that the assessment ends here. Those who have survived are considered to have passed the assessment!"

Only after Jun Feng had left did the Great Elder say this to several Elders who had accompanied him.

Those Elders nodded and then spread out to search for other disciples within the mountain range.

"Let’s go back," said the Great Elder, looking at Mo Wangchen and the others after a moment of silence.

"Thank you!" Mo Wangchen took a deep breath, clearly understanding that by protecting him today, the Great Elder was bound to have completely offended the Jun Family.

"You, young man, are really not an easy one. Now that you’ve thoroughly offended the powerful Jun Family, you better be careful," the Great Elder sighed.

"Offended or not, the Jun Family has always been powerful, and they have already shown their intent to kill me. Since that’s the case, why should I be lenient?" Mo Wangchen shrugged indifferently.

The Great Elder said, "Words aside, this matter is still troublesome. Maybe the Jun Family can be suppressed; although they are one of the five great families, it’s still difficult for them to interfere with the Academy. The main issue is with the Academy itself—dealing with the crime of killing a fellow disciple is usually punished very strictly..."

...

Only when dusk gradually darkened the sky did everyone who had gone to the Moyun Mountain Range for the assessment hurriedly return to the Academy.

At the same time, a shocking piece of news was spreading at a terrifying speed.

Mo Wangchen, during the assessment, had killed the Pavilion Master of Star Wing Pavilion, Jun Yao!

As for external affairs, Mo Wangchen did not pay attention to them and went straight to the Artifact Refining Tower to continue his cultivation.

After a night had passed, he emerged from the Artifact Refining Tower. His cultivation had now reached the Peak of the first level of Spirit Transformation Realm, and it wouldn’t be long before he could break through once again.

At noon, Mo Wangchen, accompanied by Xu Chan and others, arrived at a plaza.

Now the place was crowded with many disciples, and at the center of the crowd stood those who had passed the assessment.

As Mo Wangchen entered, the surrounding disciples gathered around and cast their glances upon him.

"Mo Wangchen killed Jun Yao, the Jun Family must be furious, right? How can he still appear here so calmly?"

"The Jun Family is powerful, but after all, Yun Chu Academy is the true powerhouse of Yun Country. They can’t reach in here. What I’m curious about is why the Academy hasn’t immediately punished Mo Wangchen?"

"I heard that the Great Elder has suppressed this incident behind the scenes..."

Amidst the buzzing conversations of the crowd, Mo Wangchen and the others had already reached the center of the plaza. There was a platform ahead, and the Great Elder was standing on it.

He glanced at the arrival of Mo Wangchen and his group, then spoke lightly, "Those of you who passed the assessment yesterday, first of all, congratulations. You have earned the qualification to join the Inner Court. From now on, you will be disciples of the Inner Court of Yun Chu Academy. But don’t get too happy too soon. As someone who has been through it, I must remind you that the Inner Court is different from the Outer Court. The Inner Court gathers the true top talents of our Yun Country. There, your journey truly begins!"

Then, other Elders distributed the credentials of Inner Court disciples to Mo Wangchen and the others.

Following the leadership of the Great Elder, they began to make their way to the Inner Court. After becoming disciples of the Inner Court, Mo Wangchen and his peers would reside within the Inner Court.

"I can press down matters for you in the Outer Court, but once you’re in the Inner Court, the issue of killing Jun Yao will inevitably cause others to give you trouble. Don’t forget, in the Inner Court, Jun Muqing holds great influence, not to mention she’s also the disciple of the Academy Head..."

On the way to the Inner Court, the Great Elder called Mo Wangchen aside and whispered in his ear.

Mo Wangchen nodded. He knew the Great Elder had done as much as he could for him. Once he entered the Inner Court, the Great Elder would no longer be able to intervene. If Jun Muqing wanted to use the Inner Court’s power to investigate Jun Yao’s death and pin the crime on him, it could be troublesome.

He was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "The Academy has existed for so long, has no one ever killed another disciple?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder was stunned for a moment, "Certainly, there have been such cases, but those who took action were either expelled from the Academy, or at worst, first stripped of their cultivation before being expelled. However, there are some exceptions. These people remained in the Academy without any punishment."

"Oh?" Mo Wangchen’s face showed curiosity, "Why is that?"

"Heh heh..."

The Great Elder chuckled, then said lightly, "Those people were once the geniuses of the Academy, the true prodigies. Faced with such individuals, the Academy naturally grants them exceptions. No matter where you are, as long as you prove that you have enough value, no matter what crimes you commit, you can escape punishment!"
