Chapter 1179: Bunch Of Idiots!

Fang Yu was stunned upon hearing that.

The experts of the Great Zhou and Chen Xiao were stunned.

Chen Xiao's face darkened.

The Academy Master!

They were not close to the Academy Master Ye Guan, as he had not been in the Guanxuan Universe for a long time, and the Guanxuan Committee handled the affairs of the Guanxuan Academy.

Therefore, they were more afraid of the committee than Ye Guan. But of course, Zhou Yan's words were still rather outrageous, and if they were to spread, it would cause a huge problem.

However, it didn't really matter anymore at this point, as the Zhou Clan would never let Fang Yu and the others live to see another day.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan stood with Zang Gang. He quietly observed Zhou Yan, his gaze calm and composed. Beside him, Zang Gang's eyes were still bloodshot, and her aura was becoming increasingly unstable.

Mad Demon Bloodline!

The Mad Demon Bloodline within her was boiling, and her murderous intent had become overwhelming.

However, Ye Guan did not allow her to make a move. She couldn't possibly handle the enemies before them.

Zhou Yan's face was fierce. The Academy Master? He had no connections with the Academy Master. He perfectly embodied the saying, "The soldier does not recognize the king, and the king does not recognize the soldier."

In Zhou Yan's eyes, the Academy Master was a mere ant.

Without saying anything else, Zhou Yan rushed forward, throwing a powerful punch directly at Sima Feng.

The punch was powerful, and it made everyone feel suffocated.

In the distance, Sima Feng had no way to retreat.

He stepped forward and threw a punch in return.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, Sima Feng was sent flying. As soon as he stopped, he immediately ignited his soul. Both his fleshly body and soul were burning, and his aura skyrocketed.

Zhou Yan furrowed his brows.

Just then, Li Jun sighed and remarked, "Brother Sima, do you really have to do that? You—"

"Shut up!" Sima Feng pointed at Li Jun and yelled, "Li Jun, I used to call you my brother, but I had no idea that you've always been this kind of person. Do you really think that you're living up to the expectations of our teacher?"

Li Jun's face soured upon hearing that. He and Sima Feng were both students of Li Qingru. He was a great scholar of the Guanxuan Academy, and Li Qingru's master, Shu Lao, was a respected senior figure in the Guanxuan Academy.

"If our teacher truly values us, would he send us to such a remote place? It's because we're just ordinary students that—"

"Shut up!" Sima Feng interrupted, "Li Jun, we were both poor children. If it weren't for Teacher Li, we wouldn't be here today. The act of taking us in is already a great show of benevolence.

"How could you say such cruel and heartless words?!"

Sima Feng pointed at Zhou Ling and the others, shouting, "You are all a bunch of idiots!"

With a hostile look on his face, Li Jun said, "Sima Feng, you make your own choices, and I'll make my own choices. You are not qualified to point fingers and tell me what to do."

"Idiot!" Sima Feng pointed at Li Jun and raged, "Li Jun, how could you be so stupid! Although the Academy Master is young, he is loyal and righteous. If Department Chief Fang Yu ends up dying here today, do you really think that he won't do anything about it?

"Li Shoufu and the others are part of the Committee as well. If Department Chief Fang Yu ends up dying, do you really think that they, with all of their wisdom, will not investigate it?

"Once they begin investigating, do you really think these idiots can hide it from Committee Head Li and the others?"

Li Jun had a gloomy look on his face. He was starting to feel a bit afraid. He had to admit that Sima Feng's words made some sense.

Just then, Zhou Yan chimed in, "Academy Chief Sima Feng, you should not concern yourself with these matters. Once you're dead, my Great Zhou will give—"

"Idiot!" Sima Feng pointed at Zhou Yan, fuming, "Great Zhou, Great Zhou. You are nothing but a small clan from the Great Zhou. How dare you claim to represent the Great Zhou? Do you really think that your so-called Zhou Clan is great just because it has the same name as the empire?"

Zhou Yan's expression turned bitter. He wanted to say something, but Zhou Ling hurriedly said, "Clan Leader, don't waste your words on him..."

Zhou Ling found that Sima Feng was really good at scolding others, so it was best not to talk to him.

Zhou Yan was about to speak, but Sima Feng exclaimed, "Zhou Yan! Do you know what it means to kill a Department Chief?"

"No!" Chen Xiao interrupted, "He is stalling for time!"

Stalling for time!

Everyone present was shocked.

Sima Feng glanced at Chen Xiao and said nothing.

Chen Xiao stared at Sima Feng and exclaimed, "He's definitely stalling for time! Hurry up and kill him!"

Zhou Yan also felt that something was wrong. With that in mind, he no longer wasted time and got ready to make a move.

Rumble!

The spacetime around them trembled violently, and an old man emerged from it along with over thirty cultivators.

Upon seeing them, Sima Feng was relieved. The old man was Qu Chen, the Manager of the Anyun Star Field's branch of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

Sima Feng had felt that something was going wrong. Hence, before his fight with Zhou Ling, he secretly notified Qu Chen to come and help.

In fact, he was not sure about calling Qu Chen for help, as they weren't very familiar with each other. However, he could only contact Qu Chen at this point in time. He initially wanted to contact the Main Academy, but it was too far away.

𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Even if he used the teleportation array, it would take at least half a year to get to the Main Academy. With his strength, he couldn't transmit messages that far, either.

Qu Chen and the others were stunned upon seeing what was going on.

They were fighting each other?

When Chen Xiao saw Qu Chen, he immediately asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Qu Chen, and I'm the Manager of the Anyun Star Field's branch of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion."

A Manager of an Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch!

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I am from the Chen Clan of the Guanxuan Main Academy. Next to me is the Clan Leader of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, Zhou Yan, along with his clansmen Zhou Ling, as well as their subordinate experts."

The Great Zhou!

Qu Chen was slightly startled. He looked at Zhou Yan and was about to speak, but Sima Feng called out to him and recounted the events that led to the current situation.

Qu Chen's face instantly darkened.

Damn it! I'm screwed!

He knew that he had gotten caught in a terrible whirlpool.

He knew that the Academy Master favoured Fang Yu. However, he didn't expect that the Zhou Clan and the Chen Clan would actually dare to kill Fang Yu.

Was this a rebellion?

Qu Chen glanced at Zhou Yan with a hostile face.

If this were just a normal internal conflict, he wouldn't care. After all, it was the Guanxuan Academy's affair and had nothing to do with his Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

However, this wasn't just a mere affair anymore. It was a rebellion.

Qu Chen knew that if he were to walk away, he would definitely suffer the consequences. It was impossible for him to have the best of both worlds in a situation like this.

In the blink of an eye, Qu Chen made up his mind..

Fang Yu represented Ye Guan, and who was Ye Guan? He was basically the god of the Guanxuan Universe. If he had to take sides, he would definitely side with a god!

Seeing Qu Chen's expression, Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed. "Manager Qu, this is a personal grudge between Great Zhou and Fang Yu, so please don't interfere. If you don't, my Great Zhou will reward you handsomely in the future."

Qu Chen thought for a while and responded, "Master Zhou Yan, I'm a businessman. Logically speaking, I should put profit first. Of course, I have always done so, but sadly, I cannot take any profits."

Zhou Yan stared at Qu Chen and persuaded, "Manager Qu, you have to think it through."

"Master Zhou Yan, the Great Zhou is a Tier Five Civilization, but you have to understand that the Great Zhou is also part of the Guanxuan Academy.

"According to the hierarchy, Fang Yu is a Department Chief, so he is higher than you in rank. Moreover, he holds the Guanxuan Token personally granted by the Academy Master.

"With that token in hand, he represents the Academy Master. Master Zhou Yan, to be frank, according to the rules, even the Empress of Great Zhou should treat him with courtesy and respect."

"So it seems like you are determined to be our enemy," Zhou Yuan remarked.

Qu Chen simply smiled and said, "Master Zhou Yan, it's not that I want to be your enemy, but it's you who wants to be an enemy of the Guanxuan Academy. Whoever is the enemy of the Guanxuan Academy is my enemy."

"Okay!" Sima Feng gave Qu Chen a thumbs up and said, "Elder Qu, I used to think that all you cared about was money, but it seems that I was wrong. I apologize."

Qu Chen shook his head and smiled. He didn't particularly like Sima Feng either, as he was a pure scholar, a stubborn individual who despised the hypocrisy of the business world.

However, as the manager of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, how could he avoid playing the game of hypocrisy? In the business world, one had to be diplomatic and put on a pretense.

At this moment, however, he knew very well that these people weren't here to talk about business but to rebel.

It was no longer a matter of interest.

And he knew that he could only survive by standing firmly on the Yang Family's side...

"

Hahaha!

" Zhou Yan suddenly laughed.

Qu Chen frowned.

Zhou Yan stared at Qu Chen and smiled. "Actually, it's alright. I've made two preparations."

With that, he waved his hand.

Rumble!

The spacetime split open, and four experts in gold armor walked out of it.

Sima Feng's face fell upon seeing the four men.

"The Great Zhou Imperial Guards!" Sima Feng exclaimed, "How could this be?!"

The Great Zhou Imperial Guards!

The Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou Imperial Family could only be mobilized by the Imperial Family. Within the entire Great Zhou, the strength of the Imperial Guards was second only to the legendary Great Zhou Shence Army.

Sima Feng was horrified. He hadn't expected that Zhou Yan could actually mobilize the Great Zhou Imperial Guards.
