Chapter 704: 705

"The people from the Ye clan have actually just left?"

"Ye Zhongxing actually brought rewards, this Dragon Pill is simply an invaluable treasure, and just like that, it was bestowed upon Chu Fengmian?"

"It seems that the higher-ups of the academy also do not wish to deal with Chu Fengmian, after all, such a genius rising in our Beimang Academy is of great benefit to us."

One after another, the seed disciples watching all that unfolded were contemplating in their hearts.

Among them, some seed disciples harbored thoughts of pledging allegiance to Chu Fengmian.

With the death of Ye Tianjun, the academy’s stance, in their view, definitely represented a sign that Chu Fengmian was soon to become the new number one figure of Beimang Academy.

Many seed disciples were considering how to pledge their loyalty to Chu Fengmian.

In the depths of the void,

Two streaks of light moved at extreme speed, these two were Ye Zhongxing and the ancestor Ye Mu.

Now, the rage on the face of ancestor Ye Mu still lingered for a long time, and the look he gave Ye Zhongxing was extremely dissatisfied.

"Could it be that the Family Head is just going to watch this kid swagger around? After he killed our people from the Ye clan, he even nurtures him?"

Ancestor Ye Mu spoke with a cold voice.

"Do those old fossils from the academy not want to live anymore, daring to oppose our Ye clan?"

"Ye Mu, calm down, this arrangement was personally set by the Family Head,"

Ye Zhongxing said calmly after hearing ancestor Ye Mu’s words.

"The Family Head has long had a plan in mind."

"This Chu Fengmian carries a great destiny upon him. I once tested him, and his Sword Dao is definitely not something that could be cultivated at his age. It’s very likely he’s encountered many fortunes we don’t know about. On this trip to the Land of Ruins, with his destiny, he’s bound to reap numerous benefits."

"The Family Head plans to use his destiny to obtain countless treasures from the Land of Ruins and then deal with him. By that time, all his extraordinary fortunes will belong to our Ye clan."

Ye Zhongxing also revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"How could we possibly let it go after he killed someone from our Ye clan!"

The two conversed while their figures gradually vanished into the emptiness of the void.

Meanwhile, on the summit of Enlightenment Sword Peak,

Seated at a stone table, Chu Fengmian, Han Yueli, and the sage Xuan Bei, all sat on stone stools in front of the table, chatting.

"This time at the Martial Arts Tournament, I originally thought you could only make it into the top ten and claim a spot, but I didn’t expect you to actually take the top place,"

Sage Xuan Bei looked at Chu Fengmian, feeling that the aura surrounding Chu Fengmian seemed to have changed again since his departure.

Chu Fengmian’s realm hadn’t changed, but at the Martial Arts Tournament, he had witnessed the swordsmanship of countless talents, which allowed his Nine Domains Sword Technique to evolve and elevate.

His realm remained the same, but Chu Fengmian’s current strength was indeed utterly different from when he last left Beimang Academy.

This change in strength was also reflected in the aura emanating from Chu Fengmian.

However, sage Xuan Bei did not speak to inquire.

Every Martial Artist has their own secrets, their own foundation. With so many secrets surrounding Chu Fengmian, he did not intend to ask.

"You’ve caused quite a bit of trouble by killing Ye Tianjun this time. I had forgotten to remind you earlier that the Ye family backing Ye Tianjun is not easy to deal with."

Sage Xuan Bei spoke, his expression turning very grave when the Ye family was mentioned.

With his strength, he was among the powerful ancestors within Beimang Academy, but he held a deep sense of wariness towards the Ye family.

The Xuanbei Sage warned.

"This time you killed Ye Tianjun, the Ye family will definitely not let things rest. You killed him during the Martial Arts Tournament and even took the top spot, which is a great contribution to the academy. Therefore, the Ye family won’t kill you now, but they will certainly not give up their plans to kill you. You must remain vigilant."

"Hmm."

Chu Fengmian nodded in agreement.

What the Xuanbei Sage had said, Chu Fengmian was naturally aware of.

This time, it seemed that the academy did not blame Chu Fengmian, and even bestowed rewards upon him.

However, Chu Fengmian was aware that this was also for show for others to see.

Chu Fengmian’s victory in the Martial Arts Tournament had brought great honor to Beimang Academy, and now for Beimang Academy to kill Chu Fengmian would be to kill one of their contributing heroes.

If they killed Chu Fengmian now, it would certainly provoke a great reaction, so the Ye family dared not kill Chu Fengmian.

It was precisely because he had calculated this point that Chu Fengmian dared to return to Beimang Academy so openly.

Even if the Xuanbei Sage had not taken action just now, Ye Zhongxing would have, stopping Ancestor Ye Mu.

However, the Ye family would not possibly let Chu Fengmian off either.

They might have spared Chu Fengmian this time, but next time, the Ye family would be serious.

"Staying in Beimang Academy puts you in great danger."

The Xuanbei Sage thought for a moment and then spoke.

"With your current talent, no matter which power you go to, even the seven major sects would protect you. You might as well leave Beimang Academy now to avoid the assassination attempts of the Ye family."

"No, I will not leave."

Chu Fengmian shook his head and said.

"The academy has just awarded me with rewards. If I were to leave now, it would exactly give the Ye family a reason. By that time, if they killed me, they would have a justified cause."

"What of the Ye family? This time I am heading to Gui Xu heaven specifically to survive the life-and-death trial. As long as I survive it, what can the Ye family do? Ancestor Ye Mu? Ye Zhongxing? I will be able to slay all of them. Then, if the Ye family dares to confront me again, they’ll have to think twice."

Chu Fengmian spoke with confidence.

Surviving the life-and-death trial meant slaying those who were beyond life and death.

If any other martial artist were to say such a thing, the Xuanbei Sage would only think that martial artist had gone mad.

Even the most arrogant of geniuses would not dare to utter such words.

But now, coming from Chu Fengmian’s mouth, the Xuanbei Sage believed it.

Initially, when Chu Fengmian went to Martial King City to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, the Xuanbei Sage thought at most Chu Fengmian could only make it into the top ten and secure a spot in Gui Xu Heaven.

But now, Chu Fengmian obtained the first-place position and even killed Ye Tianjun.

During the Martial Arts Tournament, Chu Fengmian was able to withstand a blade from Ancestor Ye Mu.

Perhaps, if Chu Fengmian were to survive the life-and-death trial, his strength might indeed reach the level to contend with these ancestors.

Hearing Chu Fengmian so confident, the Xuanbei Sage decided not to say more.

If one wants to become a powerful warrior of a generation, facing danger one cannot flee. It is with this ’kill whoever obstructs me, even if it is Buddha’ attitude that one can become a true powerhouse, slaying all that stand before them, even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.
