Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Entering the Inner Court

"Value, huh..."

After hearing the words of the Great Elder, Mo Wangchen nodded, "It seems that whether I can escape the Academy’s punishment depends on my own value and whether I am worth the Academy’s favoritism toward me."

"Your value is certainly worth it," the Great Elder said without hesitation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have completely fallen out with Jun Feng just to protect Mo Wangchen. "However..."

"The one who died is from the Jun Family, and Jun Muqing’s cousin. Jun Muqing is the Dean’s disciple. If she’s set her heart on dealing with you..."

Having said that, the Great Elder sighed again, "Although your talent is outstanding, at least for now, I dare not guarantee that you are one sort of one in ten thousand genius. For the Academy to show favoritism toward you, you would have to be the second Jun Muqing or, at least, reach the level of Zhang Hao..."

"Zhang Hao?" Mo Wangchen was taken aback.

"Hehe, just like you, he’s a youngster who just joined the Academy this year. But he’s a true genius. He went directly into the Inner Court. It’s said that he is now a fourth-level expert in the Spirit Transformation Realm and his swordsmanship is excellent. Even ordinary fifth-level Spirit Transformation Realm might not be able to come off well against him," explained the Great Elder.

He didn’t know about Mo Wangchen’s relationship with Zhang Hao, but he had heard some things about the inner workings of the Inner Court lately.

Rumor had it that after joining the Academy, Zhang Hao’s cultivation soared, and his sword technique became almost divine. In addition, he cultivated several powerful Sword Techniques that others had not seen. Now, he’s the only genius who can keep up with Jun Muqing’s pace.

Many people were eager to witness the wonderful clash between these two geniuses, Jun Muqing and Zhang Hao.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t seen this kid for a long time. I didn’t expect him to be so promising..."

Mo Wangchen muttered to himself. Since that encounter with Zhang Hao in the Artifact Refining Tower square, the two hadn’t seen each other again.

However, Mo Wangchen was well aware that Zhang Hao’s talent was not low, and given that he had passed on to him two Xuan Rank level Sword Techniques, it wasn’t hard to understand his current achievements.

Soon, Mo Wangchen and company entered the area of the Inner Court. Looking around, disciples who had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm could be seen everywhere, at this moment all curiously turning their gazes toward Mo Wangchen and the others.

"That must be the candidates who passed the assessment this time. It’s somewhat unexpected; I didn’t think there would be so many."

It was no wonder that the Inner Court Disciples were curious—they normally saw, at most, only a few people pass the assessment.

But this time, there were dozens of them.

The Great Elder handed over Mo Wangchen and the others to an Inner Court Elder, and after reminding Mo Wangchen once more to be careful, he left to return to the Outer Court.

Led by that Elder, Mo Wangchen and the others soon chose their courtyards.

"You killed Jun Yao. You had the backing of the Great Elder in the Outer Court, but in the Inner Court, the Great Elder is powerless to help you. I’m afraid it won’t be long before people come looking for trouble with you. Do you have any plans to deal with this?"

On a vacant plot of land, Mo Wangchen stood together with Xu Chan and others. Opposite them stood Wan Fugui, Fan Chenghao, and other members of the Wind Snow Sect.

Fan Chenghao spoke up, "The Wind Snow Sect has some connections in the Inner Court too, but our influence is limited; probably we won’t be able to provide much help..."

"There’s no need for help. The Inner Court is different from the Outer Court. Now that you’ve just joined the Inner Court, try not to attract too much attention. Let them come at me if they want to target me. Jun Yao wanted to kill me first, I don’t believe there isn’t a shred of justice in this Inner Court," Mo Wangchen said.

"I’ll go and speak to my brother in a while. With his influence in the Inner Court, he might be able to help a little bit," Wan Fugui suddenly said.

His brother was naturally the eldest young master of the Wan Family, a notable figure within the Inner Court and a powerhouse in the top ten ranks!

Mo Wangchen nodded his head, not refusing. If Wan Fugui’s brother could stand by his side, it would also represent the stance of the Wan Family. When the time came, even if he had to confront the Jun Family, he would have much more confidence.

"Who among you is Mo Wangchen?"

Just as everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a faint voice from behind.

Everyone instinctively turned to look and found that they did not recognize the person who had arrived. However, there was a powerful aura emanating from the individual, which, at the very least, indicated that they had reached above the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

"I am," Mo Wangchen said with a slight frown as he stepped forward, not needing to think too hard to realize that it must be the Jun Family making a move.

He just didn’t expect them to come so quickly.

"Come with me," the man said as he saw Mo Wangchen step out, and then glanced at him lazily as if he hardly considered Mo Wangchen worth his attention.

Mo Wangchen kept silent, looking at the other party, his feet not moving an inch.

"Hmm?" The man immediately frowned, "Didn’t you hear what I said?!"

"First, I don’t know you, and second, I am now a disciple of the Inner Court. You have no authority to command me. Why should I go anywhere with you?" Mo Wangchen replied disdainfully.

"Truly arrogant!"

Hearing his words, the man started to sneer, "The Great Elder wants to see you. If you refuse to go, you’ll be responsible for the consequences!"

"The Great Elder?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows. The Great Elder of the Inner Court was different from that of the Outer Court. In a certain sense, the Outer Court’s Great Elder was equivalent to just an ordinary Deacon Elder of the Inner Court.

The Great Elder of the Inner Court, on the other hand, had immense power throughout the entire Academy, second in command only to the headmaster!

"I’ll go with him; you all wait here for me," Mo Wangchen said to Xu Chan and the others after a moment of silence.

Then, without any hesitation, he left with the man.

Before long, the two arrived in front of a grand hall, where it was evident that the place had gathered quite a crowd, including disciples of the Star Wing Pavilion who had passed the assessment, and people like Cao Yu from the Lingtian Sect.

Seeing Mo Wangchen’s arrival, a cold sneer appeared in Cao Yu and the others’ eyes.

Besides them, some Inner Court Disciples who seemed to have heard something had also gathered there.

Scanning the crowd, Mo Wangchen spotted a familiar figure, Young Master Yang, Yang Xu!

Yang Xu was looking at Mo Wangchen with a cold sneer, his face showing an expression of someone waiting for a good show to start. However, Mo Wangchen just glanced at him indifferently and did not respond, following the man into the grand hall.

"Great Elder, I have brought Mo Wangchen!" After speaking, the man respectfully retreated to the side, staying silent.

Looking around, Mo Wangchen saw on the main seat in the hall an elderly man over fifty, with white hair and a somewhat weathered face – the Great Elder of the Inner Court!

And sitting below the Great Elder were several Inner Court Elders, among them Jun Feng, and Mo Wangchen found it easy to notice the person sitting opposite Jun Feng was a woman—Jun Muqing!
