Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 148: Confrontation!

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Confrontation!

Seeing Mo Wangchen arrive, everyone’s gaze in the grand hall fell upon him.

Jun Muqing remained indifferent, her eyes slightly turning, filled with apathy.

"Is it indeed the Jun Family..."

Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brow, having just left the Outer Court, escaping the protection of Great Elder Zhao Zhi, arriving in the Inner Court, only to find the Jun Family coming for him so soon.

"Mo Wangchen, do you know your crimes?!"

Amidst the silence, Jun Feng, sitting opposite Jun Muqing, stood up. The pressure of the Seventh Level Spirit Transformation Realm released entirely, suppressing Mo Wangchen.

"Elder Jun Feng, may I ask what crime I have committed?" Mo Wangchen looked at him, responding coldly.

"Hmph!"

Jun Feng snorted coldly, "Zhong Bin was a disciple of the Inner Court, your senior brother, yet you killed him in the examination. Not only that, even Jun Yao, who participated in the examination, also died at your hands. Disrespecting brothers, being ruthless to peers, according to academy rules, your cultivation should be abolished, and you should be expelled!"

"Disrespecting brothers? Ruthless to peers?"

Hearing Jun Feng’s words, Mo Wangchen sneered coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "Zhong Bin was ordered to assassinate me. If I didn’t have the strength, I would have died by his hands. Why should I respect him as a senior brother?"

"Jun Yao was the Pavilion Master of the Outer Court’s Star Wing Pavilion, which suppresses new disciples every year. Surely those present know this better than I do?"

"Such a person is worthy of my respect? Furthermore, Elder Jun Feng, don’t you know who ordered Zhong Bin to assassinate me?!"

Mo Wangchen spoke confidently, his expression slightly darkened, his gaze fixed on Jun Feng.

"Nonsense!"

Jun Feng’s face turned extremely unsightly, snorting coldly, "You killed fellow disciples and still refuse to admit your guilt. Mo Wangchen, for this alone, even death cannot atone!"

"Now, I am an Inner Court disciple. Even if guilty, it requires judgment by the Inner Court Elders. Jun Feng, as a Deacon Elder of the Outer Court, what gives you the right to shout at me here?!" Mo Wangchen stared directly at him, saying sternly.

"You!"

Jun Feng was infuriated.

"Silence!"

Just then, from the main seat of the hall, the voice of the Great Elder spread softly. He looked at Mo Wangchen, "Regardless, killing fellow disciples is a major taboo in the academy. Mo Wangchen, do you admit your guilt?"

"If I admit guilt, will the academy investigate when Jun Yao and Zhong Bin attacked me first?" Mo Wangchen asked, looking at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder paused for a moment, then responded calmly, "Both are dead, with no witnesses, and no evidence available."

"So the academy is determined to charge me?" Mo Wangchen stood straight, looking at the Great Elder, "Is it because the Jun Family is powerful, and Jun Muqing is the dean’s disciple, that the academy must unconditionally support the Jun Family?"

"The academy does not support anyone," the Great Elder shook his head, looking at Mo Wangchen as he stood up, "On the contrary, Yun Chu Academy acts justly. Even if Jun Yao and Zhong Bin attempted to kill you first, they failed. Hence, even if guilty, the academy must punish them, not you personally."

"May I ask, Great Elder, if I didn’t kill them and they succeeded in killing me, would the academy charge them?" Mo Wangchen asked.

"Yes!" the Great Elder nodded without hesitation.

"Then may I ask, if the Jun Family or Jun Muqing, by virtue of being the dean’s disciple, stood out to protect Jun Yao, what punishment would they face?" Mo Wangchen asked again, his gaze fixed on the Great Elder.

Hearing this, the Great Elder furrowed his brow and remained silent without answering immediately.

Mo Wangchen sneered, "I fear the academy would merely give a mild punishment and let the matter drop, right? After all, Jun Yao is from the Jun Family, and since the Jun Family is powerful, the academy wouldn’t offend them for my sake, nor offend the future Crown Princess, correct?"

"Correct!" This time, the Great Elder answered directly without thinking, "If a person possesses enough powerful energy, they can also alter some so-called rules, which are often set for the strong."

Jun Muqing had been designated the Crown Princess of Yun Country, which most attendees already knew.

If Jun Muqing wanted to protect Jun Yao, the Great Elder would not doubt that the academy would not genuinely charge Jun Yao.

After all, Yun Chu Academy itself belongs to the Royal Family’s influence. With Jun Muqing becoming Crown Princess, she would be equivalent to becoming Yun Country’s Empress someday, and from a certain perspective, she would hold enough authority in Yun Chu Academy to give orders in the future!

"May I ask, Great Elder, if I’m not just a small member of Mo Family in Fangtian City, but have another identity, would that identity also allow the academy not to charge me?"

Mo Wangchen looked at the Great Elder, his expression becoming calm.

"What identity?" The Great Elder slightly furrowed his brow.

Mo Wangchen smiled, then took a token from his embrace, showing it to all.

"This is..."

Seeing the token, the Great Elder’s eyes narrowed immediately, "An Alchemist Alliance, Third-Grade Alchemist credential?!"

"You are a Third-Grade Alchemist?!" Jun Feng’s expression changed abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at the token in Mo Wangchen’s hand.

Similarly, Jun Muqing’s heart shook upon seeing the token, suddenly realizing something. On the day the Youth Pill was auctioned, Mo Wangchen attended that auction and even entered the second-floor pavilion.

At that time, no matter how she thought, Jun Muqing couldn’t understand why a mere Mo Wangchen had the qualification to enter the second floor of the auction venue.

Now she understood, Mo Wangchen turned out to be an Alchemist Alliance’s Third-Grade Alchemist!

The identity of a Third-Grade Alchemist, combined with his condensation of five Spirit Veins during the Vein Condensation Realm, was an honor even she found hard to achieve. Moreover, Mo Wangchen was only eighteen years old. This talent was terrifying even to imagine, thought Jun Muqing.

At this moment, Jun Muqing squinted her eyes, a cold gleam flashing. She felt an unprecedented threat from Mo Wangchen.

If Mo Wangchen were not eliminated, he would pose a potential threat to her, even to the Jun Family, in the future!
