C576 Temple

“Our hero has been fighting for a month. He must be tired after coming out of the trial ground. Let them go back and rest. We can talk about it another day.”

“Yes, Dean.”

The disciples left after the order.

Even Zhang Yuan-Heng and Yang Shao-Feng were ready to leave. Pei Yun stopped them before they left and took Nan Zhifei, who was still unconscious.

Yang Shao-Feng obviously wouldn’t refuse Pei Yun’s request. They left after putting Nan Zhifei on Pei Yun’s back.

Only the Dean, the elders, and the four super disciples were left in the plaza.

Dean Xiao looked at Nan Zhifei who was still unconscious on Pei Yun’s back and said in shock, “What’s going on?”

Could it be that he was injured?

It seemed reasonable.

Pei Yun’s expression was heavy as he said, “Dean, this isn’t a good place to talk. Let’s find a place to talk.”

Dean Xiao was slightly stunned and then nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go to the Sacred Peak.”

He did have a lot of things to ask the three super disciples, so he dismissed the other disciples. However, it seemed that what happened in the trial ground was more ‘impossible’ than he imagined.

“Okay.”

No one had any objections.

The Sacred Peak was the most secret place in the academy. No one was allowed to enter here without permission from the Dean.

Therefore, it was a good place to talk. They didn’t have to worry that others would hear them.

The group of people walked towards the Holy Peak quickly.

In the pavilion, Ling Bai looked at the group of people walking towards the Holy Peak. He squinted his eyes. Those people seemed to have something to say. Would it be good to follow them?

“Do you think we made a mistake?”

Chi Xiao also looked at the group of people leaving. He frowned and said, “I didn’t see anything special about that kid. He doesn’t look like the young master.”

No matter his temperament or appearance, they were not alike.

Therefore, how could that person be the young master?

Even Chi Xiao nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Although they are quite far away, I am sure that the young man is a man. He is definitely not a woman. Could it be that we made a mistake?”

Ling Bai sneered and said, “There are all kinds of strange things in the world. Even if the young man is a real man, we can’t be sure that he is a man. You have to believe in your master’s judgment.”

He came from the Ten Directions City. He had more experience than Chi Xiao and Chi Yan. Sometimes, he wouldn’t be completely fooled by his own eyes.

Chi Xiao and Chi Yan lowered their heads. Indeed, their master’s judgment was more accurate than their eyes.

“Okay. Since the lord has decided that she is the little girl, we should keep an eye on her. As for the others, they are not something we should consider.”

Ling Bai said and then walked toward the Sacred Peak. He walked with a swagger, but he was not afraid of being discovered.

Because he had a technique that could conceal his tracks. Of course, Chi Xiao and Chi Yan also knew it.

Inside the Sacred Hall.

Dean Xiao sat on the main seat at the highest point. The two Vice Dean sat on his left and right. Following that, more than twenty elders sat in the same order.

The four super disciples sat at the bottom. The unconscious Nan Deshui was lying on the floor of the hall.

“Pei Yun, Yuan Ze, Yu Feng, did you not get attacked by the disciples of the other twenty sects in the trial ground?”

Dean Xiao sat down and asked all the elders the questions and curiosity in their hearts. Everyone looked at Feng Yu and the others.

Pei Yun stood up from his seat and said, “Replying to the Dean, you don’t need to ask about the trial ground. No matter what you ask, we will never tell you anything because we all made a blood oath.”

Pei Yun answered the question according to Feng Yu’s instructions.

Feng Yu didn’t want to tell everyone about her knowledge of array formations, but she couldn’t lie to everyone.

Therefore, she told Pei Yun and Yuan Ze to keep their mouths shut no matter what they asked.

Yuan Ze didn’t talk much, so Pei Yun was the one who answered the elder’s question.

He sighed and said, “In short, although the disciples of the other sects weren’t completely wiped out, not many of them could come out alive.”

The teleportation array only opened for the time it took an incense stick to burn, and the disciples of the other sects were all trapped in an array by Junior Sister Yun.

That array was definitely very powerful.

However, he wasn’t sure if it could trap them for the time it took an incense stick for them to burn. However, he guessed that many of them would die in that array.

Before they came out, he had seen with his own eyes that the array was like a slaughterhouse, and it had killed many disciples of the Transformation Void Martial Stage.

This answer was completely out of his expectation. The elder and the elders were slightly stunned, but they were even more curious about what had happened in the trial ground.

However, since Pei Yun and the others had sworn a blood oath, they wouldn’t say anything more no matter how they asked.

Even if they were curious, the elder and the other elders had to forcefully suppress their curiosity.

The elder nodded and said with a regretful tone, “Alright, then how did you all break through to the Transformation Void Martial Stage? Did you encounter some fortuitous encounter? And why is Nan Sifan unconscious?”

Elder Zhou had already checked on him. There was obviously no injury on his body, but he was unconscious. It was really strange.

Pei Yun looked at Feng Yu hesitantly. Feng Yu nodded after he looked at him.

After getting permission, Pei Yun didn’t have any more concerns. He said, “Headmaster, Yuan Ze and I did encounter some luck. However, the one who really got lucky is Nan Zhen.”

Headmaster Xiao subconsciously looked at Nan Zhen and said in surprise, “Oh? Is that so? His luck is bigger than yours? What did he get?”

Under the curious eyes of the elders and the headmasters, Pei Yun opened his mouth and said in a low and solemn voice, “The Water Saint’s Inheritance.”

“What?”

Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise. Headmaster Xiao stood up from his seat and looked at Pei Yun in disbelief. Then, he looked at Nan Zhen on the ground.

Even the gentle and calm Yun Yixuan couldn’t help but look at Nan Zhen. If it was really the Water Saint’s Inheritance, then this kid was really lucky.

The air seemed to freeze. Only the sound of the elders swallowing saliva and inhaling cold air could be heard.

Headmaster Xiao couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. His voice was trembling as he said, “Is what you said true? Nan Zhen got the Water Saint’s Inheritance?”

Pei Yun nodded and said, “That’s right.”

After getting confirmation, Headmaster Xiao and the elders finally accepted this shocking fact. Even the way they looked at Nan Zhen became respectful.

The Water Saint’s Inheritance meant that he had the key to reach the Saint Realm. This kid already had the talent to reach the Saint Realm.

As long as nothing happened to him, he would be able to reach the half-step into the Saint Realm even if he couldn’t reach the Saint Realm.

With a half-step into the Saint Realm in the academy, the academy would be able to reach a new peak.

Twenty years ago, the existence of Yun Zhantian had given the academy hope. However, Yun Zhantian suddenly disappeared, which extinguished all the hope of the academy.

However, twenty years later, another young man replaced Yun Zhantian and rekindled the hope of the academy.

Principal Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Pei Yun. He said, “You said that although the disciples of the other sects weren’t completely wiped out, not many of them could come out alive. Do you mean that some of them could come out alive?”

Pei Yun nodded and nodded.

Principal Xiao’s expression suddenly became ugly as he said, “Then, did those disciples know that Nan Sifan obtained the Water Saint’s Inheritance?”

Pei Yun nodded.

This time, it wasn’t just Principal Xiao’s expression that became ugly. Even the other elders had ugly expressions.

If the disciples of the other sects came out alive, they would definitely tell their Sect Leaders about this. At that time, the Sect Leaders of the other twenty sects would definitely know about this.

Therefore, those people wouldn’t allow a disciple with the potential to become a Saint to exist in the academy.

And their academy didn’t have the ability to protect such a disciple at the moment.

Therefore, it was just a joyful occasion. Nan Sifan was in danger.

Feng Yu’s cold and indifferent eyes swept across all the elders present and finally landed on Dean Xiao’s ugly face.

She stood up from her chair and instantly, everyone’s eyes landed on her.

Feng Yu didn’t seem to see that they were looking at her. She said in a cold voice, “Dean Xiao, I want to talk to you alone.”

Dean Xiao looked at her in surprise. He looked at her for a few seconds and finally nodded.

Then, he looked at the other elders and said in a dignified voice, “This matter concerns the prosperity and decline of our academy. It is a very important matter. So, none of you are allowed to say anything. Do you understand?”

All the elders nodded and said in unison, “Yes, Dean.”

Dean Xiao nodded and waved his sleeve. He said, “Alright, Yu Feng stays. You all can leave.”

“Yes, Dean.”

The elders all got up from their seats and left the hall. Ye Jinglan also wanted to leave. When she passed by Feng Yu, she stopped and looked at her worriedly.

Feng Yu shook her head at her, signaling that she was fine. Ye Jinglan finally felt relieved and got up to leave.

It was also true that she had come out of the trial ground alive, so what danger could there be?

The dean wouldn’t harm her, they were just talking alone.

Soon, everyone left, including Yun Yixuan who had been watching Feng Yu, Pei Yun and Yuan Ze. In the hall, only Dean Xiao, Feng Yu and Nan Zhifei were left.

“Yu Feng, what do you want to tell me?”
