Immortal Road.

Chapter 799: Domination of the High Point, Expulsion from the Academy

"Who are you? Do you have a letter of permission?"

The Shangyang Academy covers a vast area, and at first glance it is seven or eight times larger than the Shang family’s ancestral home!
The buildings and gardens inside were linked one after another, with countless students and teachers coming and going. It was bustling and noisy, but someone had already spotted the outsiders and shouted to stop them.

But the fleet ignored them and continued to charge forward with great force.

Seeing this, the people inside naturally would not let them in. They activated the palace protection formation that had not been used for hundreds of years and issued a warning again.

"Stop, this is Shangyang Academy. Unless you are a visiting professor or above, flying is prohibited according to regulations. Please land on the ground for inspection!"

"Bang bang bang-"

Three streams of light flew out from the leading insect boat and shot down like a string of cannonballs, directly destroying the formation on the spot!

Huhuhu~
One after another, large flying magic vessels sailed in. The strong wind pressure blew the students below all over the place. Looking up, one could clearly see the bottom of the ship opened, and teams of monks in different costumes were airdropped from the same troop transport ship.

There are several big words on the stern:

Lujiang League·Supervised construction.

The Shangyang Academy was instantly in an uproar!

Everyone was shocked and confused. How could the Lujiang League from western Shandong come to their door without any warning? !

What are the merchants on the front line doing? There was no warning at all.

The sects and families along the way were even more blind. Didn’t any of them see it?

In fact, it’s not anyone else’s fault. With Lin Shan providing cover from the sky the whole time, it would be strange if they were discovered from below.

"Lujiang League, why don't you stay in Luxi? What are you doing here?"

There were many professors in the academy, and someone immediately questioned the situation and ordered the students to be evacuated and to organize alert.

All the visitors ignored him. Instead, they lined up and raised their heads after landing, quietly waiting for instructions from the sky. No one dared to move without the order from above.

The people at Shangyang Academy looked up and discovered that a man had walked out of the leading insect boat. An aura that overwhelmed the entire place spread out directly, without any concealment!
"Nascent Soul cultivator?"

There was an uproar in the Shangyang Academy. Many teachers and leaders were all panicked, and the students below were even more terrified.

The well-informed old professor, who had received information about Luxi in advance, reacted immediately.

"You are. Xun Gu Sect Leader!"

"Hey~"

Suddenly, another streak of light came from the sky, and with lightning speed, it knocked the man to the ground, causing him to spit out blood.

"Shut up! Do you think you can call me by my name?"

Lin Shan, who was at the bow of the boat, turned his wrist and spoke lightly, appearing to be completely calm and composed.

"You have no manners and are arrogant. You are disrespectful to your superiors and I will give you a slight reprimand."

The whole place was silent!

The whole Shangyang Academy was dumbfounded, their eyes widened and their mouths opened.

Looking for the ancient leader?

Nascent Soul stage?
When did this happen? Wasn't the Shang family still at war with the Xun Gu Sect at the border? How come the leader of the Xun Gu Sect suddenly reached the Nascent Soul stage!

The scene before my eyes was so sudden and beyond imagination that it made me feel like I was in a dream.

Only the old professor was lying on the ground, holding his chest and groaning, with an expression of great pain.

He looked up at the sky with difficulty and asked hoarsely:
"I wonder what it is that Senior Lin has come to our place for?"

Lin Shan stood at the bow, his sleeves fluttering in the strong wind. He looked down from above, with a look of condescendingness as if he were looking down on the world.

"Shangyang Academy has been helping the Shang family openly or covertly and cracking down on the Xun Gu Sect, violating the neutral position of the Ten Great Academies. Today, I have come here specifically to demand an explanation!"

"Explain?"

The old professor didn't understand what it meant yet. He looked at the dozens of forces from the Lujiang League arriving, so many Jindan Zhenren with sinister smiles on their faces and bad intentions, and the disciples below were rubbing their hands with shining eyes. He had a bad premonition.

At this time, another professor came out, with sharp words and eloquence.

"Senior Lin, I don't know whether you are here to explain yourself as the leader of Xun Gu Sect or as the leader of Lujiang League?"

This statement is indeed powerful and contains a hidden meaning.

The Shangyang Academy is targeting the Xun Gu Sect. If anyone wants to cause trouble, it should be the Xun Gu Sect alone. You even moved the Lujiang League here, which is a bit too much.

But what was unexpected was that another streak of light flashed across the sky and directly blew the man away on the spot!

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the man fell heavily to the ground, lying together with the old professor.

"Make a fuss! Who are you? Do you think you can call me by my name?"

"I"

"A small punishment is a big warning, to serve as a warning to others."

Lin Shan withdrew his hand indifferently and put it behind his back again.

Everyone in Shangyang Academy was shocked. They had never seen anyone so arrogant. Who would beat people without saying a word?
What's wrong with calling you Master Xun Gu? Do you have to call you senior all the time?
The man was slapped in the face, his mouth was crooked. He covered half of his swollen face and looked at his teeth and blood foam on the ground. He had never suffered such an injustice!
"Senior Linlin! What do you mean? I just asked about my identity and position, but you are so cruel?"

"Then what will you do if I come as the leader of Xun Gu? What will you do if I come as the leader of Lujiang League?"

Lin Shan did not jump to conclusions, but asked back on the spot.

The man replied incoherently:

"If you are representing the Xun Gu Sect, we at Shangyang Academy are willing to admit our mistakes. We were wrong in the past."

"If we represent the Lujiang League, then the fact that so many irrelevant people came to our door for no reason will be regarded as a serious invasion. We will definitely report it to the four major families in the Central Region to seek justice in the future!"

Lin Shan sneered.

"Your Shangyang Academy can help merchants, and my Lujiang League can also help Xun Gujiao. It's essentially the same principle. What's wrong with that?"

The professor was eloquent and evasive:
"Our help was limited to supporting the frontline and stabilizing the situation. We didn't attack the Xun Gu Sect, let alone the Lujiang League headquarters, right?"

When comparing the two, this is indeed true.

Shangyang Academy does everything flawlessly, and most people in the cultivation world know that they are in cahoots with the merchants, but they help them secretly, and there is really no evidence of them crossing the line. It is obvious that they had thought of a way out in advance.

In the right way, it is important to have a legitimate reason for doing something.

When Lin Shan heard this, he understood and gave the answer immediately.

"Okay, then today I am only acting on behalf of the Xun Gu Sect and the many allies of the Lujiang League. This is a spontaneous act and has nothing to do with me."

As soon as these words came out.

Many allies of the Lujiang League below nodded one after another. Whatever the boss says is the truth. We are just here to join in the fun!
The man was relentless, and was obviously a negotiation expert from Shangyang Academy. He had expected Lin Shan to say this, and then he continued:
"In that case, can our Shangyang Academy assume that the Lujiang League has violated its neutral position by invading across the border without any reason? Afterwards, we can appeal to the four great families in the Central Region and ask the Lujiang League to give us an explanation!"

Lin Shan nodded and asked him directly on the spot.

"Okay, I am the leader of the Lujiang Alliance. What do you want me to explain to you?" "Huh?"

The man's tone paused and he was stuck for a moment.

His original intention was to throw a boomerang and use reason to persuade Lin Shan to withdraw his troops and not make things worse, but he didn't expect that the other party would be such a tough nut to crack!
"No, it's not important. Senior Lin, please come if you want to. Just give us a heads up in advance. We at Shangyang Academy will definitely line the streets to welcome you. How dare we neglect you?"

"But bringing so many people from the Lujiang League here is a bit of a fuss and against the rules."

"If this gets out of hand and it gets reported to the Central Region, I'm afraid the Lujiang League won't be able to explain to them."

Lin Shan looked at him seriously and said seriously.

"I am the leader of the Lujiang League. It is none of your business what to do next. I am not here to negotiate with you today, but to inform you!"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. You must admit your wrongdoing. You dared to secretly send people to deal with the Xun Gu Sect, and now you must pay it back double!"

"I helped the merchant to slander the genius of my sect, Mu Yan, making him a public enemy of the cultivation world and forcing him to go into exile. This reputation account must also be settled!"

"Instigating all sectors of Lu to isolate the ancient religion and impose economic and trade sanctions, the financial losses are not small!"

"The merchants invited Bailu Academy to impose unilateral sanctions without my permission. They are overstepping our authority!"

"And you took advantage of my absence to snatch my marriage. This is an irreconcilable feud."

In front of everyone, he began to dig up the grudges between Shangyang Academy and himself, in order to set the record straight and have a legitimate reason to do so.

You say he is a tough guy, and he really is!
You say he doesn't follow the rules, but he does!
But the more Shangyang Academy listened, the more it seemed something was not right. If you were to be serious about what happened in the beginning, then there was nothing wrong with it, and everyone knew it. But why did the story of the bride being kidnapped come up in the end?

"Wait a minute!"

The third old professor jumped out quickly, fearing that he would continue talking nonsense.

Everyone knows that today will not end peacefully, but the commanding heights of justice must be occupied. In the right path, you can lose people but not the battle, you can lose face but not the reason!
The bigger the accusation the other party makes, the more miserable they will be today, and the less chance they will have of turning things around in the future.

Everyone around made way for him. It was obvious that this third old professor was highly respected and a very important figure of the older generation in Confucianism.

"Master Lin, please don't make false statements. We at Shangyang Academy are committed to teaching with courtesy. How could we take away someone else's good fortune?"

"laugh--"

Before he could finish his words, a flash of light appeared over there!
The old professor was knocked flying, his meridians and bones broken, and he fell in front of two people in too much pain to get up.

"How many times have I told you that you can't call me by my name? I'll punish you lightly so that you will remember this lesson."

"Wow"

This person was so angry that he vomited blood. It's not okay to call you Master Lin? So you have to get beaten up first no matter what you call me? You are such a tough guy!

The people around him were afraid that he would get away with it, so they framed him with false charges that he could not clear himself of even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Senior Lin, when did we steal your kiss? Don't say such nonsense!"

Lin Shan asked in a serious tone:
"Do you have any True Man Ruyu here?"

The White Bone Lady in the Ancient Seeking Sect's team below gave a charming cry:
"Hey! I'm here~"

Lin Shan scolded the girl.

"Shut up, I didn't ask you!"

The professor of Shangyang Academy responded upon hearing this, but with a slight hesitation.

"There is such a person."

A sneer appeared on Lin Shan's lips. He, as the leader, could not explain the rest of the words himself. Master Zhan Kong below was very perceptive and immediately stood up to explain.

"True Immortal Ruyu was once the elder of Ruyifang under my Lujiang League. At that time, the owner of Ruyifang, True Immortal Ruyi, arranged for her to marry the leader as a concubine. But under your instigation, True Immortal Ruyu betrayed us. What should we do if this marriage fails?"

Everyone in Shangyang Academy was stunned. When they accepted Master Ruyu, they had no idea that such a thing existed.

I just thought that the other party had been studying in Shangyang Academy for a long time and didn't want to go back and wanted to stay here, so I made the arrangements accordingly.

"We can't say anything without proof. We have never heard of this."

"Master Ruyi, come out!"

Lin Shan called out lightly, and from the Lujiang League below, an old woman staggered out and spoke haltingly.

"I can testify on the spot that there was indeed a marriage proposal back then, but it was not as Master Zhankong said, to become a concubine, but to become a Taoist partner."

Master Zhankong waved his hand and said frankly that it didn’t matter, as long as the story was true.

It was time to make a final conclusion. The Shangyang Academy had snatched the Taoist companion of a Nascent Soul cultivator. This feud was not small, and it was a personal grudge!
When it comes to emotional hurt, any revenge one wants is acceptable.

Shangyang Academy immediately sent someone to call for Master Ruyu, insisting that she confront him on the spot and explain the situation in order to clear up the misunderstanding.

What I did not expect is
"Oh no! Master Ruyu is missing. Someone just saw her packing her things and running away!"

What? ? ?
The Shangyang Academy was in an uproar. They didn't expect that at the critical moment, someone from their side would defect.

This is obviously because he is guilty and dares not confront.

Right and wrong are clear at a glance!
Lin Shan waved his hand, listed all the charges, and issued an ultimatum.

"Shangyang Academy is a den of filth and dirt."

"If you teach without proper methods, you will mislead your students."

"But we can bring everyone together to do this righteous cause."

"The top ten academies will be expelled today!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Everyone in the Lujiang League shouted loudly, their morale was high. After experiencing the blessing of "righteousness" just now, they felt more powerful and had no worries.

Like a rolling torrent, it flooded and swept ahead.

Shangyang Academy is undoubtedly a top-notch institution with countless masters, including Jindan-stage cultivators. The number of teachers at the lower level is huge, but there is a Yuanying-stage True Lord looking down from heaven. Who would have the mind to turn the tide?
When being repeatedly denounced and unable to defend himself, his heart had already become like a mulberry leaf, being eaten away by holes and he had no desire to resist at all.

It collapses at the first touch!
What was originally a peaceful and tranquil institution of higher learning suddenly became a living hell, with shouting and screaming rang out in the ears, and the students were beaten and fled in all directions by what they once regarded as a mob.

The bandits of the Lujiang League robbed whatever they went, whether it was books or supplies, they would stuff them into their pockets.

One could see many disciples, all covered in jingling clothes, just coming out of a school, with a dozen bulging storage bags hanging from their bodies, shaking around like fat men, and rushing into another room.

The battle lasted the entire afternoon.

There were over ten thousand dead bodies, it was extremely tragic!
Most of the people in Shangyang Academy died, and the rest either surrendered or fled, having long lost their former fighting spirit.

Master Zhankong led people to guard the ancestral temple, which is the place where Shangyang Academy is inherited, and it can be said to be the foundation of this force!
"Master, the battlefield has been cleaned up. Master Zhankong is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

The disciples of Xun Gu Sect came to report and found that the leader was talking and laughing with Ruyi Zhenren at this time.

And behind them, Master Ruyu, who had once defected from Ruyifang, was not missing, but was right in front of them!
