All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"boom……"

The moment the bronze cauldron collided with the seal, blue and red light intertwined, and a violent shockwave instantly leveled the three-hundred-mile-long academy.

All that remains is a lonely little courtyard near the Daozang Palace, and the artificial mountain in the direction of the Wendao Palace that suppresses Ji Kui!

"What the hell..."

"Are you all crazy?"

"If you want to fight, then fight. What's the meaning of tearing down my academy?"

"Compensate!"

Zhou Hai's temper flared up instantly.

Having spent seven years at the university, he had long considered this place his home, and he would not allow others to destroy it like this.

"Who are you scolding?"

On Qian Santong's side, the old man holding the official seal coldly stared at Zhou Hai.

"So what if I curse you? Are you brain-dead and can't understand human language, or did I not get enough of cursing you and want to hear me curse you again?"

"You'll have to pay for everything you broke today, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhou Hai glared; he had a temper too.

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's beard bristled with anger, and with a wave of his hand, a massive seal pressed down on Zhou Hai.

"roll!"

Just then, a roar rang out, and a stone tablet flew from the horizon, crashing heavily into the large seal.

"Boom boom boom..."

The void shattered, and a massive shockwave erupted.

The already destroyed 300-mile-long academy grounds looked as if they had been plowed a thousand times over.

"Who dares to wage war on our academy? Do you really think our academy is without anyone to fight?"

A shout rang out, and a scroll flew in from the sky, with hundreds of people standing on it.

The stone tablet flew back and landed right in the hands of one of them.

This is a middle-aged man with a scholarly air about him. He looks gentle and refined, but his eyes are filled with murderous intent. He has a fiery temper!

"Hehe, who is it? It's Fellow Daoist Ye Haoran. It's been a few years, and your cultivation has become even more profound!"

The old man holding the seal narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the middle-aged man.

"Whether it's profound or not, I don't know, but beating you to death, you old scoundrel who can't distinguish right from wrong, shouldn't be a problem!"

Ye Haoran's gaze was icy, and his words showed no respect whatsoever to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, what do you mean?"

The old man with the seal looked grim. They were all ancestors of the major holy lands, how could they let others humiliate them like this?

"Hehe, who in the Northern Wilderness doesn't know that your Great Qian Dynasty has produced a tyrant, with unparalleled talent and peerless abilities, who upholds the will of the ancient sages and protects this pure land?"

"However, you old fools are blind, allowing the various sects to persecute him and even collude with them to drive him to the brink of despair!"

"If your Qian Dynasty doesn't perish sooner or later, what will become of justice?"

As the Supreme Elder of Haoran Palace in the main academy, cursing is Ye Haoran's specialty.

The scolding made the already dark-faced old man feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten excrement.

"Ye Haoran, who do you think you are, daring to interfere in the affairs of my Qian Dynasty?"

The old man gritted his teeth, releasing a powerful aura that suggested he was ready to fight at any moment.

"Enough, Elder Ye. Why are you meddling in other people's family affairs?"

Just as Ye Haoran was about to retort, another burly man on the scroll shouted.

"Yes, Elder Ye, our sacred academy has always kept to itself and there's no need for us to get too involved!"

On the other side, a middle-aged man holding a sword, who gave off a scholarly and chivalrous vibe, also spoke up.

"Shut up, you two!"

"Jiang Tai'a, Lei Hong, don't think I don't know about your collusion with the holy lands of the major dynasties!"

"You say don't meddle in other people's business, but haven't you meddle enough already?"

"Furthermore, Chen Bei is a successor of my Haoran lineage, and he has even become a disciple of my academy!"

"As an elder of the academy, what's wrong with me speaking up for future generations?"

"Aren't you just afraid that I'll offend everyone and affect the academies of the Qian Dynasty?"

"I know better than anyone what the Great Qian Branch has been like all these years. In my opinion, it's better if these selfish and self-serving bastards disappear sooner rather than later!"

Ye Haoran never distinguishes between friend and foe when he criticizes people. His words directly made the two Supreme Elders doubt their existence and they were so angry that they were trembling all over.

"Bring it!"

Turning back again, Ye Haoran reached out his hand to the old man with the large seal.

"what?"

The old man with the large seal didn't react for a moment.

"What, your ancestors taught you that you don't have to pay compensation for demolishing someone else's house?"

"No wonder any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to act arrogantly in your Qian Dynasty. So this is the Qian Dynasty's attitude towards life!"

"However, while your Qian Dynasty may be trampled upon at will, my academy cannot. Especially the Great Zhou Academy! If you don't compensate me with one million top-grade spirit stones for the damages made today, don't blame me for demolishing your Qian capital another day!"

Ye Haoran's expression was threatening; he was definitely not joking.

"well said!"

"But it has to be less. If you can't give me one hundred million top-grade spirit stones today, I'll tear down the Zhou royal domain and the Qian royal capital right now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai, who had been looking gloomy, immediately felt much better.

As expected of an old scholar from the main hospital, his scolding is far more ruthless than Li Changqing's. His imposing manner is quite endearing.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!"

Having been repeatedly threatened and humiliated, the old man with the large seal could no longer hold back. He raised his hand and unleashed the seal, aiming to kill Zhou Hai.

"Holy shit, you don't dare hit him when he insults you, but you come and hit me instead?"

"Do you really think I'm an easy target?"

Zhou Hai was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what made him seem so easy to bully.

Enraged, he was about to make a move when Ye Haoran appeared in front of him in a flash. With a wave of his hand, the stone tablet swelled in the wind, colliding with the large seal like a mountain.

"You old fool, of the four major branches of the academy, the one I value most is the Great Zhou lineage!"

"Dare to attack the Zhou lineage? Do you think I don't exist?"

Ye Haoran glared at the old man, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Your academy is quite arrogant. It's one thing to threaten the Qian Dynasty within the territory of my Great Zhou, but to threaten my Great Zhou as well!"

"I also want to know how you two destroyed my Zhou royal domain!"

This time, however, not only was the old man holding the seal of the Qian Dynasty furious, but even the people on the Zhou Dynasty's side had gloomy expressions!

"Is your Zhou royal family shameless or what? The Qian Dynasty has to pay for broken things, but you don't?"

Zhou Hai glared; he had no goodwill towards the Zhou royal family. These people were the first to come and persecute his disciple!

"Kid, you're right. We don't cause trouble, but we're definitely not afraid of it. Since they've come to our door, we should reason with them and pay compensation as appropriate!"

"If anyone dares to be unreasonable, the patriarch will back you up and beat them until they start to reason!"

Ye Haoran looked at Zhou Hai with satisfaction; this kid was just to his liking!

"Well, you're a reasonable person, so you don't need to pay your share. Divide it among them, 150 million, and make them pay it!"

"By the way, stop calling me 'Ancestor' all the time. We're not that close. Just because I like you doesn't mean you can take advantage of me!"

Zhou Hai grinned and patted Ye Haoran on the shoulder.

"what……"

Ye Haoran was dumbfounded. It seemed this kid was even trying to extort him!

"Hahaha……"

However, upon recalling Zhou Hai's subsequent words, Ye Haoran couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Not bad, not bad, focusing on the issue, not the person, just to my liking!"

"Young man, from this day forward, I will no longer refer to myself as the ancestor. Let us become friends despite our age difference!"

"From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name!"

Just then, a faint cry for help came from the direction of the Dao Asking Palace: "Ancestor, help!"

Everyone turned to look, and the moment they saw Ji Kui under the artificial hill, the faces of the Zhou Dynasty members turned ashen!
