"Chen Bei?"

Chen Qian was taken aback, retreating several steps in shock at the sight of Chen Bei.

Elder Lu was equally startled, unable to suppress the contraction of his pupils.

"Chen Bei, have you broken through to the Divine Ability Realm? No wonder you dare to appear before me alone."

After confirming that Chen Bei was alone, Elder Lu calmed his mind and spoke coldly.

"Hmph, Lu Baitao, the Academy was established to spread the Dao across the world and protect the peace of the common people!"

"But what have people like you done?"

"People like you disregard the Academy's principles and bring harm to the common folk. Now that Teacher Zhuyu is dead, you conspire with other sects, colluding with the court to create endless disasters!"

"Aren't you afraid of the Main Academy's wrath?"

Chen Bei's gaze was sharp as he spoke coldly.

"Heh, wrath?"

"The world is bustling with interests. Who still clings to the so-called principles of benevolence?"

"And you, alone, dare to confront me? Truly reckless!"

"Do you really think breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm makes you invincible?"

Lu Baitao sneered, dismissing Chen Bei with disdain.

"Lu Baitao, even alone, I can still kill you!"

"As the king of Great Qian, today I will seek justice for the people of Great Qian!"

"Chen Qian, Lu Baitao, come out and meet your end!"

Chen Bei shouted, raising his hand to point at the two inside.

"Alone and so arrogant, you're courting death!"

"Elder Lu, kill him!"

Chen Qian's eyes turned fierce as he shouted loudly.

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Baitao had already charged out of the inn.

"Ignorant child, since you're seeking death, I'll grant it!"

With a loud shout, Lu Baitao rushed toward Chen Bei.

With a push of his hands, the surrounding spiritual energy surged, and his palms instantly grew dozens of times larger, crashing down on Chen Bei like two millstones.

"Ignorant child, die!!!"

Lu Baitao sneered viciously!

In the past, with many protectors by Chen Bei's side, Lu Baitao would have retreated.

But now, Chen Bei's forces had been completely wiped out. Even if Chen Bei had broken through to the Divine Ability Realm, so what?

A mere novice in the Divine Ability Realm was nothing to him.

However, just as he thought this strike would kill Chen Bei, or at least severely injure him, he saw Chen Bei throw out his fists. There was no divine ability, not even a hint of spiritual energy fluctuation. With just his bare fists, he collided heavily with Lu Baitao's palms.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Ugh..."

Explosive sounds rang out as Lu Baitao grunted, the divine power in his arms instantly shattered.

At the same time, a tremendous force surged into his arms.

His arms twisted, bones cracking, and the violent force exploded at his shoulders.

Next, his internal organs felt as if they were crushed by a mountain, bursting one after another.

"Poof..."

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Lu Baitao was sent flying backward.

His heart was filled with terror, his eyes instantly covered in fear!

Before he could land, his vision went dark as Chen Bei flew forward, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him high.

"How... how is this possible... you... poof..."

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out, draining the color from Lu Baitao's face!

He couldn't understand how Chen Bei had done it!

Both were cultivators on the path of Body Refinement, and his iron palms had always been invincible. But why couldn't he even withstand Chen Bei's bare fists?

He knew Chen Bei's cultivation was lower than his, and he hadn't even used any divine abilities. Yet it felt like he had struck a divine weapon, it was terrifying!

"You don't need to ask so many questions, it's time to atone!"

Chen Bei's gaze was cold as he looked at Lu Baitao, applying a bit of force to instantly snap his neck.

Just a mere fourth-level Divine Ability Realm cultivator.

The Immortal Battle Soul Battle Intent was unparalleled, inherently possessing the power to fight above one's level.

Now, with the Hundred Refinements Emperor Sutra refining his body to be comparable to a divine weapon, Lu Baitao was simply no match!

"The techniques taught by Master are so powerful, this is truly invincible at the same level!"

Releasing his grip, he let Lu Baitao's body fall from the air, a glint of excitement flashing in Chen Bei's eyes!

"Now it's your turn, my third royal brother!"

Raising his head again, Chen Bei looked coldly at Chen Qian.

"This... how is this possible..."

"You actually killed an Academy elder, aren't you afraid of the Academy's retribution?"

"You are an Academy disciple, and the Academy forbids internal strife..."

Chen Qian's face changed drastically, looking at Chen Bei with terror.

"Internal strife?"

"Hahaha... I am indeed an Academy disciple, but what right does Lu Baitao have to be called my peer?"

"The current Great Qian Academy has long lost its benevolence, so what if it's destroyed?"

"Moreover, I've even killed an elder of the Qiongyao Holy Land, why would I care about a mere Lu Baitao?"

Chen Bei laughed heartily, his eyes full of disdain.

"What, you killed Dongguo Quan?"

"How is that possible, you..."

Chen Qian's mind buzzed, his face full of disbelief.

Dongguo Quan was a strong Enlightenment Realm cultivator, how could he have died at Chen Bei's hands?

"Enough, no more questions!"

"Have you thought about how you want to die?"

Chen Bei stepped forward, entering the room step by step.

"No... Little Nine, I'm your third royal brother, you can't kill me..."

Chen Qian's face changed again, having just broken through to the Prenatal Realm, he didn't even have the right to escape in front of Chen Bei.

He tried to appeal to familial ties, but in response, he only received Chen Bei's eyes filled with killing intent!

"No... don't come any closer..."

"Ninth brother... spare me... I... I don't want to die..."

Chen Qian screamed in despair, the fear in his heart making his legs go weak as he knelt before Chen Bei.

"Are you afraid of death too?"

"When you ordered three months of continuous rain in Yuncheng, causing floods, did you think about how terrified those who died were?"

"For entertainment, you drove beast hordes, causing a beast tide, killing over a hundred thousand of our Great Qian citizens. Did you think about how desperate they were?"

"Now the Great Qian dynasty is in chaos, with various sects taking whatever they want from our land, killing for fun, scorching sun, and floods!"

"As a member of the royal family, not only did you not stop it, but you applauded it!"

"Do you live up to this royal status, to the people of Great Qian, to our ancestors?"

Chen Bei gritted his teeth, fury rising in his eyes as he shouted loudly.

"No... Ninth brother, I know I was wrong!"

"But the current situation wasn't caused by me!"

"The major sects are powerful, how can our Chen family resist?"

"You... you're strong, you resisted. But what now?"

"You lost the throne, you can't even return to Great Qian, being hunted everywhere!"

"We... we're not as strong as you, what... what can we do?"

Chen Qian cried loudly, his eyes full of terror.

"You can die!"

"As members of the Great Qian royal family, holding the fate of a nation, yet unable to sacrifice your lives to protect our nation's fate, what use is there in living?"

Chen Bei snorted coldly, raising his hand as a fierce suction force pulled Chen Qian into his grasp.

"No..."

Chen Qian screamed in terror, trying to struggle.

But as lightning surged in Chen Bei's hand, the violent divine power instantly refined his body into ashes!

Watching Chen Qian's ashes scatter, Chen Bei waved his hand, collecting them all into his storage bag.

Then he turned, gathering the bodies of Dongguo Quan and all the others who had died outside, before leaving.

This was Dinghai City, the Academy's territory. There was rarely any conflict here.

Now that the fight was over, he didn't want to leave any trouble for the city!

Taking the bodies hundreds of miles away, he buried them in a valley before returning to the Dao Repository Palace of the Academy!

As Dongguo Quan, Lu Baitao, and others died one after another, the forces behind them were enraged.

The Qiongyao Sect, a top sect in Beihuang, had produced Sages and was thus known as the Qiongyao Holy Land!

As one of the most powerful forces in Beihuang, the Qiongyao Sect always looked down on the world. Disciples traveling outside were treated with respect by everyone, who dared to kill them?

Yet that night, the life token of an outer elder shattered.

"What, Outer Elder Dongguo Quan was killed at the Great Zhou Academy?"

"Pass my order, let Qian Santong lead people to destroy the Great Zhou Academy!"

"Killing our sect members, even the Main Academy can't protect them!"

An angry voice echoed, and that night, experts were dispatched to the Zhou Dynasty's Jixia Academy!
