Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Conflict Erupts

Swoosh!

Great Elder leapt forward, appearing directly in front of Mo Wangchen. He reached out, took the token from Mo Wangchen’s hand, and after carefully examining it, his face revealed surprise, "It’s actually real!"

If Mo Wangchen really was a third-rank Alchemist, the Academy would surely have its reservations about punishing him for the killing of Jun Yao. Moreover, such a status as a third-rank Alchemist was enough for the Academy to protect him.

"Great Elder!"

Clearly, Jun Muqing had also thought of this point; she understood that the Great Elder was somewhat wavering.

However, Jun Muqing was different. The root cause of this whole affair stemmed from the feud between Mo Wangchen and the Jun Family. The stronger the energy Mo Wangchen possessed, the greater the threat it posed to the Jun Family, and under no circumstances could Jun Muqing allow him to continue growing.

"If you are not in a position to make a decision, I will personally report this matter to our master and have him uphold justice for my Jun Family!" Jun Muqing said.

Hearing her words, the Great Elder’s brow immediately furrowed. A third-rank Alchemist held tremendous value to Yun Chu Academy, not to mention that Mo Wangchen’s own strength was not weak either, making him worth protecting.

Now, the problem was that the ones who want to move against Mo Wangchen were from the Jun Family, specifically, Jun Muqing!

As one of the five major families in Yunge City, and as Jun Muqing was not only the disciple of the dean but had also been designated as the Crown Princess Consort, if she put pressure and intended to doom Mo Wangchen, the Academy might not stand on the side of Mo Wangchen.

"Jun Muqing."

Similarly, after hearing what Jun Muqing had said, Mo Wangchen fell silent for a moment before he took a deep breath and scoffed coldly, "It’s really quite laughable. When you came to the Mo Family to break off our engagement, aside from deeming me as trash who was unworthy of you, it was also because you and the Crown Prince had intended to marry all along, am I right?"

"What?! Mo Wangchen once had a marriage arrangement with Jun Muqing?" Some disciples who had gathered outside the grand hall, upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, were surprised.

"That’s not really a secret anymore. If you guys had spent more time in the Outer Court, you might have heard about it too. What surprises me is, I never expected the Jun Family’s relationship with the Royal Family to be..."

Mo Wangchen ignored the discussions of the disciples outside the door and continued to speak to Jun Muqing.

"Now, the moment I stepped into Yun Chu Academy, you panicked. You learned of my talent and realized that you had been wrong before. Who would have thought, when I was at the Vein Condensation Realm, I condensed five Spirit Veins, trampling your so-called pride underfoot. And now, you fear my existence will cause unease within the Royal Family, so you are determined to have me killed!"

"Just you wait, this matter won’t end so simply. If you want my life, Mo Wangchen, then I will make you pay a price tenfold, a hundredfold!"

"One day, the Jun Family will face ruin because of your folly!"

"How dare you!"

Jun Muqing suddenly shouted, her face instantly turning ice-cold. In her speech, she propelled her body swiftly, transforming into a black shadow and thrust herself towards Mo Wangchen, initiating an attack.

Mo Wangchen’s pupils shrank as he faced this sudden assault. He could sense that Jun Muqing’s cultivation had undergone a tremendous change compared to her initial retreat from the marriage at the Mo Family.

From the outburst of aura, her strength had reached at least the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

"Nine Curves Netherworld Palm!"

Jun Muqing’s speed was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she was upon Mo Wangchen, her palm shooting out in an attack. The wild currents swept through the entire hall; the magnitude of her aura suggested that at this moment, Jun Muqing was intent on killing Mo Wangchen on the spot!

"No, you can’t!" The Great Elder’s complexion dramatically changed, wanting to intervene, but realizing it was already too late.

The Nine Curves Netherworld Palm was the academy head’s signature technique, a Xuan Rank cultivation technique. As his disciple, Jun Muqing had naturally inherited it. Under her palm’s strike, it wasn’t just Mo Wangchen who would struggle to defend against it—likely even a master on the sixth or seventh level of the Spirit Transformation Realm would find it hard to withstand.

Mo Wangchen’s pupils constricted as he recognized the terror in his opponent’s palm. The Spirit Sea in his body surged instantaneously; boundless spiritual power was stimulated to its peak, continuously converging towards his hand.

"Xuanlong Palm!"

After his loud shout echoed through the hall, it seemed as if the roar of a dragon reverberated, and in the next moment, the palms of the two martial artists made contact.

Boom!

A deafening blast sounded, and in that instant, a powerful airflow scattered in all directions, reducing every chair within the hall to dust in mere moments.

After the palm strike, Jun Muqing staggered back a step, her brow slightly furrowing; she hadn’t expected that her opponent would manage to block her Nine Curves Netherworld Palm.

In contrast, Mo Wangchen had been pushed back seven or eight steps by the clash, his internal energy and blood in turmoil. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he looked at Jun Muqing with an icy stare.

"He actually withstood Senior Sister Jun’s Nine Curves Netherworld Palm?!"

"How is that possible? That’s a high-level Xuan Rank martial technique! Mo Wangchen actually managed to hold on!"

"The technique he used seems to be some kind of powerful martial art as well. Could it be that it has also reached the Xuan Rank level?!"

Outside the door, the disciples gasped in shock at this sudden development. They didn’t know much about Mo Wangchen, but they were aware that he had only joined the academy this year, and it was not long ago that he had broken through to the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, passing the assessment to enter the Inner Court.

Yet, here was this man who seemed to be holding his own against Jun Muqing, who was at the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and wielding the Nine Curves Netherworld Palm.

At this moment, with blood still at the corner of his mouth, Mo Wangchen gazed at Jun Muqing with a chilly expression, his heart trembling. It seemed that there was still a vast gap between him and his opponent...

Swoosh!

As Mo Wangchen was pondering this, he saw Jun Muqing narrowing her eyes, as her body burst out once again.

"Stop!" Seeing her remark, the Great Elder bellowed, his face suddenly darkening.

He knew that Jun Muqing sought to thoroughly execute Mo Wangchen right here and now!

"Hmph!"

However, Jun Muqing paid no heed to the Great Elder’s reprimand. After a cold snort, she said, "Mo Wangchen murdered his fellow disciples and insulted my Jun Family. For only these two reasons, he is destined not to leave this place alive today. As the academy head’s chief disciple, I have the responsibility to oversee the academy. Today, I will execute him on the spot to uphold the academy’s authority. Great Elder, if you have objections, you may discuss them with my master yourself!"
