2904 Battle
Bang!
Downstairs, the unsuspecting onlookers were petrified with fear.
What kind of predicament had they stumbled into?
With no rhyme or reason, he had come for a casual lunch, only to find himself caught in a chaotic showdown between two oblivious nobles.
In a frenzy, everyone evacuated the dining hall like a swarm of startled bees.
Was this some twisted joke?
His Highness’s uncontrollable violet flames were on the verge of inducing sheer terror.
Wherever his fiery touch landed, it left only scorched earth and ashes. How could this be happening?
The only sensible course of action was to run, and run fast!
Qiao Mu swiftly descended from the second-floor window and beckoned to Mo Lian. “Lian!”
Mo Lian’s Raven Moon sword danced amidst a blaze of spiritual fire, her strikes relentless and unyielding. Her attacks flowed seamlessly, leaving Ming Asi no room to strategize a counteroffensive.
The speed of their exchange was nothing short of astonishing.
To the bewildered bystanders, it felt as though their parents had gifted them with a second pair of eyes. Two eyes were hardly enough to keep up!
All they could discern was that with every strike from His Highness Lian, his techniques evolved countless times, luring Ming Asi into life-threatening situations.
In the end, His Highness Asi found himself in a pitiful state, pushed to the brink by his relentless opponent.
“Stop!” A voice cried out from the crowd.
Everyone involuntarily recoiled, their necks shrinking in apprehension.
They were here, they were here. Pundit Liu had arrived.
Pundit Liu, hailing from the Discipline Hall, was renowned for his unwavering impartiality, sparing no one from his stern judgment.
He harbored a deep aversion for any disruption within the Imperial Academy.
It was evident that this incident had escalated to the point where he had to intervene.
Pundit Liu’s countenance tightened as he advanced towards them with measured steps.
His commanding gaze bore down on Asi and Mo Lian, and he nearly felt compelled to raise his eyes to the heavens and vent his frustration.
What in the world was happening?
After quelling one group of troublemakers, more had emerged.
Whether it was His Highness Mo Lian from the Divine Province or His Highness Asi from the Underworld Province, both figures before him were not to be trifled with. How had they embroiled him in such a predicament?
Pundit Liu strained to maintain a stern facade as he regarded Ming Asi with a somber expression before shifting his gaze to Mo Lian.
“Those who disrupt the academy will face the consequences prescribed by its regulations.”
“The gravity of your actions is especially concerning.” Under the intense scrutiny of Crown Prince Mo, Pundit Liu hastened to add, “Inciting a brawl and causing extensive damage to the dining hall. According to the academy’s rules, you will be subject to punishment…”
Pundit Liu, with a stern countenance, declared, “Follow me!”
He hastily turned away, primarily to conceal any sign of timidity in front of the students.
It was truly bewildering. In the presence of Crown Prince Lian’s intimidating gaze, she felt almost incapable of continuing.
Upon hearing that the old man intended to discipline Mo Lian, Qiao Mu hurriedly trailed after him.
They arrived at the Discipline Hall that the elderly gentleman had referred to. Upon stepping through the main entrance, they were left utterly astonished.
Qi Xuanxuan and the rest were all present!
“Qiaoqiao!” Relief washed over Qi Xuanxuan and her companions upon seeing Qiao Mu safe and sound.
However, their situation was far from ideal.
Within the courtyard of the Discipline Hall, hundreds of razor-sharp knives and wooden stakes had been arranged. Qi Xuanxuan and the others had activated their defensive spiritual barriers, precariously perched on the wooden stakes with the knives pointed at their feet.
As long as they failed to maintain their balance and fell, they were bound to endure considerable pain.
“Two hours!” Pundit Liu uttered this verdict before hastily departing as if fleeing the scene.
