Tianyuan Imperial City, Mingyue Academy.

Surrounded by a crowd of academy disciples, Mu Yurou blushed and said shyly as she listened to their constant praise.

"Actually, I'm not that good. It's just that my senior brothers are letting me have my way."

One of the disciples said.

"I heard that the Dean specially granted Fairy Mu a spot to attend the Academy Conference. It seems that the position of guest elder of the Academy this time is definitely going to Fairy Mu."

"If only Fairy Mu were a disciple of our academy, what would happen if she got injured while practicing swordsmanship and spear fighting all day long in the Sword Sect?"

"After the fairy becomes a guest elder, she will be able to come to the academy often to give us some pointers."

The people around her chimed in, instantly praising Mu Yurou to the skies.

Mu Yurou smiled as she dealt with the people in front of her, but her gaze kept drifting towards the door.

"The academy assembly is about to begin, why hasn't the Second Prince arrived yet?"

"Did something happen?"

But then Mu Yurou thought again: Chu Luobai had perished in the secret realm, and Zhao Jingren had been forcibly taken back by Xiao Xuancheng.

Now, within the Tianyuan Imperial City, only she and Qiu Lin remain as disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Qiu Lin is just a Qi Refining stage disciple, what kind of trouble can he cause?

It seems that something else has held me back.

While he was pondering, a disciple suddenly ran in through the door.

The disciple hurried across the assembly area, whispering something anxiously in Yuan Zhi's ear.

Yuan Zhi's expression changed drastically, and he asked the disciple as if he couldn't believe it.

The elders surrounding Yuan Zhi immediately stirred, and the group, disregarding the disciples waiting below, marched in a grand procession toward the gate.

The academy's general meeting was about to begin, but the academy's leaders were anxiously leaving.

The disciples were completely bewildered, looking at each other with no idea what had happened.

Mu Yurou instinctively sensed something was wrong and got up to walk towards the door.

"Did you really see the Seventh Prince bring Chu Luobai into the palace?"

On the way, Yuan Zhi asked with a worried expression.

"It's true, and it's said that Chu Luobai severed the Second Prince's arm with a single sword strike at Nanfeng Pavilion."

"The second prince, who was seriously injured at the moment, was also carried into the palace."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but gasp.

Although the second prince's cultivation level was not high, he had many guards around him.

To easily sever the Second Prince's right hand, unless...

"Has Chu Luobai already advanced to the Dao Integration Realm?"

The disciple shook his head slightly, a look of lingering fear on his face.

"This disciple does not know, but I can feel the pressure emanating from Chu Luobai as if a god of death had descended. If this disciple had not been far away, I would probably have fainted from fright."

Yuan Zhi's face turned ashen, and he deeply regretted not waiting a little longer.

Having offended a being at the Dao Integration Realm, Mingyue Academy is truly doomed to disappear in his generation.

"Well, whether it's a blessing or a curse, there's no escaping it. Let's go to the palace first and talk about it then."

....................................

The Imperial Palace of the Tianming Dynasty.

"who?"

Seeing a large group of people approaching, all carrying weapons, the guards at the gate instinctively stopped them.

"This is... the Second Prince?! We're under attack!"

The guard's expression changed drastically the moment he saw the person on the stretcher.

The city guards swarmed forward instantly, their spears aimed at Chu Luobai and his group.

"Stop! The Second Prince is colluding with demonic cultivators; his crime deserves death. How dare you stop me?"

Feng Xunyuan shouted loudly, and only then did the soldiers guarding the city notice the seventh prince who had just been recognized.

The fact that the Second Prince colluded with demonic cultivators was too inconceivable to them.

For a moment, they were unsure whether they should give way.

"You blind fool."

Chu Luobai walked forward, and the soldiers around him were about to stop him when they felt an extremely terrifying force press them to the ground, rendering them unable to move.

Along the way, after sensing the terrifying power emanating from Chu Luobai, no one dared to stop him anymore.

Inside the palace, the old emperor had already received the news.

Bang!

The doors to the council chamber were suddenly kicked open.

A humanoid object burst through the gate, rolled several times on the ground due to inertia, and only came to a stop at the old emperor's feet.

"what happened?"

The old emperor was furious when he saw his second son lying on the ground groaning in pain, with one arm hanging empty.

But the moment he saw Chu Luobai, the anger in his heart vanished instantly.

"You are a fairy from the Qingyun Sword Sect. I, Feng, have failed to greet you properly."

The old emperor, being a great Confucian scholar, knew exactly what was going on the moment Chu Luobai entered the room.

The powerful figure before him was someone he could not afford to offend under any circumstances.

"Today, I, Chu, discovered that Feng Xiuquan harbored treacherous intentions and actually colluded with demonic cultivators to use the Soul Searching Technique in public."

"The demonic cultivator has now been brought to justice, but the Second Prince's status is special, so I've come to ask how he should be dealt with?"

Chu Luobai sat down on her own, and the little eunuch next to her poured her a cup of tea with trembling hands, then stood aside as if fleeing.

"The Soul-Searching Technique?!"

The Tianyuan Dynasty was located at the intersection of various major powers, and the old emperor lived in the cracks, so he was naturally aware of this existence that was listed as taboo by the righteous path.

His expression immediately changed drastically, and his eyes turned murderous as he looked at Feng Xiuquan.

"I had no idea he was so audacious!"

As he spoke, he walked straight toward Feng Xiuquan, who was still lying on the ground.

"Take him away and put him in jail."

"Wait a moment."

Chu Luobai casually brushed aside the tea foam in her cup, her tone chilling.

“He is connected with demonic cultivators. As a righteous person, I cannot sit idly by. Since Your Majesty has made a decision, let’s take action now.”

"I'll be able to give my sect an explanation when I go back."

This old man still wants to secretly save his son's life? Don't even think about it.

"this...."

Emperor Feng remained silent for a moment; he still held Feng Xiuquan in high regard as his son.

Now that he's been forced to kill his own son, the Qingyun Sword Sect is going too far!

"However, I heard that Nanfeng Pavilion was forced into this, and His Majesty even has a heart to spare a criminal like Feng Xiuquan. Out of kindness, he will surely be willing to give leniency to the people of Nanfeng Pavilion."

"Nanfeng Pavilion?"

Emperor Feng fell silent for a moment. He never expected that his insignificant son could actually establish a connection with a powerful figure from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

They were even able to persuade this powerful figure to stand up for them.

"Since it is Fairy Chu's will, then Nanfeng Pavilion is under Xun Yuan's jurisdiction. He can keep a little more in check on it in the future."

Seeing that Emperor Feng had relented, Chu Luobai nodded slightly and walked to the side of Feng Xiuquan, who was already on the verge of death.

She bent down and gently touched Feng Xiuquan's chest with her long, slender, white fingers.

Feng Xiuquan coughed up a mouthful of blood and completely lost consciousness.

“Those who collude with demonic cultivators are not worthy of cultivating righteous techniques. Now, all his meridians have been destroyed by me, and he will never be able to cultivate again for the rest of his life. Does Your Majesty have any objections?”

Emperor Feng glanced at Feng Xiuquan with a gloomy expression and shook his head slightly.

Those who cannot cultivate are useless, and he has no need for a useless successor.
