Chapter 825: Chapter 826: The Mysterious Dean

This sudden change also caused Chu Fengmian’s mind to calm down slightly.

Originally, when Chu Fengmian was causing a scene at Beiyang Palace, he already had the thought of fighting to the death.

Because he had the Yuanyu Heavenly Palace as a trump card, Chu Fengmian wasn’t afraid of anything. So when he slaughtered those ancestors of the Ye family, he planned to use the Yuanyu Heavenly Palace to retreat unscathed and then leave Beimang Academy.

He would return once his strength was sufficient.

But Chu Fengmian never dreamed that Beiyang Palace was actually the Sword Sovereign Hall. Ye Emperor intended to use Beimang Palace against Chu Fengmian but ended up giving Chu Fengmian such an opportunity instead.

In this way, Chu Fengmian had to thank Ye Emperor. Without him, Chu Fengmian might not have discovered that Beiyang Palace was, in fact, the Sword Sovereign Hall, thus missing this opportunity.

In an instant, the situation reversed.

Chu Fengmian stood in mid-air, his expression relaxed beyond measure.

Sage Xuanbei, Vice Dean Deng Ling, and those old ancestors of Beimang Academy all had somewhat dazed expressions. Their eyes flickered, as if they were thinking, unable to understand how all this happened for a moment.

In contrast, the expressions of Ye Emperor and others were extremely gloomy and utterly unsightly.

Especially in the mind of Ye Emperor, he was exceedingly enraged. If he hadn’t tried to suppress Chu Fengmian and chose instead to directly kill him, he wouldn’t have had to rely on Beiyang Palace’s power, leading to the current situation where Beiyang Palace stood with Chu Fengmian.

Especially as these four founders joined forces, only to be easily repelled by a single sword beam.

These four founders, now under the recent sword edge, were already severely injured, retreating repeatedly, their eyes full of dread, fearing the reappearance of the sword beam.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so lucky next time; they might very well be killed.

Now, Emperor Wu, Emperor Feng, and others were speechless, their eyes full of fear. As founders of the Beimang Academy and superpowerhouses in the Heavenly Destiny Realm, even though they may not be invincible across the Nine Domains, they were certainly distinguished figures.

They never thought they would be so close to death, and now no one dared to act again.

"What happened? How did Beiyang Palace undergo such a transformation?"

Suddenly, a figure flew in from outside—a middle-aged man, appearing in his early thirties, wearing a long robe with extremely noble attire, exuding an aura of being powerful and aloof.

This middle-aged man was the dean of Beimang Academy, a mysterious figure who was seldom seen. It was the first time Chu Fengmian had ever seen him since arriving at Beimang Academy.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

All the old ancestors present greeted him respectfully. The dean of Beimang Academy held a position even higher than these founders, as his strength was not below theirs.

At a glance, the strength of the Beimang Academy’s dean was even stronger than Ye Emperor and others.

"Beiyang Palace has recognized a master? What is going on?"

The dean of Beimang Academy, once stepping into Beiyang Palace, immediately scanned the surroundings with spiritual sense, his face showing an indescribable expression.

Beiyang Palace had undergone earth-shaking changes. The most shocking thing was that Beiyang Palace had actually recognized a master.

After the death of the Beiyang Sage Lord, Beiyang Palace had always stood there. Even back then, the Beiyang Sage Lord couldn’t make Beiyang Palace recognize a master.

In the ensuing millennium, countless powerhouses from Beimang Academy tried to make the palace recognize a master, but all to no avail.

The entire Beimang Academy had never seen this event unfold over its thousand-year history, but now it had unexpectedly occurred, leaving the dean utterly astonished.

"Xuanbei, what happened?"

The dean of Beimang Academy looked at Sage Xuanbei and suddenly asked.

Although he rarely appeared in Beimang Academy, he was aware of everything that happened there. Now that Beiyang Palace recognized Chu Fengmian as its master, he first asked Sage Xuanbei.

After all, Chu Fengmian was a disciple of Sage Xuanbei.

"I don’t know about this either."

Sage Xuanbei replied calmly.

About the mysteries surrounding Chu Fengmian, Sage Xuanbei was also in the dark and felt no need to inquire.

Every Martial Artist has their adventures and trump cards; even as Chu Fengmian’s master, he didn’t need to ask one by one.

"It is a significant event that Beiyang Palace has recognized a master—an unprecedented occurrence in a millennium at our Beimang Academy!"

Ye Emperor, standing by, with flickering eyes, suddenly spoke to the dean of Beimang Academy.

"Dean, this person once received the inheritance of the Beiyang Sage Lord in the Holy Hall. Perhaps it was then that he learned how to make the Beiyang Palace recognize a master."

"This Chu Fengmian is too dangerous and arrogant, regarding others with contempt. Such a person can’t stay in our Beimang Academy. It would be better to capture him now and extract the method of making the Beiyang Palace recognize a master!"

Ye Emperor was still reluctant.

Chu Fengmian had killed so many ancestors of the Ye family in front of him. If Chu Fengmian left today unscathed, Ye Emperor would regret it for life.

But now with Beiyang Palace protecting Chu Fengmian, any move against him would lead to death. So Ye Emperor could only place his hopes on the dean of Beimang Academy.

The dean of Beimang Academy was an extremely mysterious figure. His strength exceeded that of most founders, and there were even rumors that he was the true top powerhouse of Beimang Academy.

To deal with Chu Fengmian, only he could take action.

"Ye Emperor, do you really want to die?"

Hearing Ye Emperor’s words, Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered, his gaze filled with killing intent to the extreme.

This Ye Emperor, Chu Fengmian had to find an opportunity to kill, or else, with Ye Emperor’s resentment towards Chu Fengmian, he would be an endless trouble in the future.

But now, in front of this mysterious dean, Chu Fengmian couldn’t easily act.

"Ye Emperor, be patient. Chu Fengmian is still a disciple of Beimang Academy. Since Beiyang Palace has chosen him as its master, it’s a good thing for our academy."

The dean of Beimang Academy pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Chu Fengmian, do you know why Beiyang Palace recognized you as its master?"

"If you tell us, Beiyang Palace will still be yours. At most, this secret can be passed down through generations. After all, it’s a secret our academy has never known. If you reveal it, I’ll ensure you receive enough benefits, even making you the next dean of Beimang Academy."
