Su Yuan's expression changed upon hearing the Elder's words, clearly not expecting such a decision from him.
Although the Heavenly Nether Gate was cruel and ruthless, there was no significant enmity between them and Xuantian Academy. The Elder's words today clearly indicated that he intended to stand against the Heavenly Nether Gate.
Su Yuan was also taken aback by the Elder's attitude. After all, having killed Dao Lengtian would inevitably offend Azure Cloud Sect, and in this situation, turning against the Heavenly Nether Gate was certainly not a wise move.
However, Su Yuan had seen enough of the world to quickly regain his composure and said:
"Elder, while Xuantian Academy is powerful, my Heavenly Nether Gate is not to be underestimated! If you truly turn a blind eye to that little beast killing Dao Lengtian, I can tell you without reservation that you will offend both Azure Cloud Sect and Heavenly Nether Gate at the same time. I believe you can foresee the consequences!"
Aotian felt a surge of anger; anyone would be upset at being called a little beast. Moreover, Su Yuan openly threatened Xuantian Academy, which made Aotian even more displeased.
Suddenly, Aotian spoke up:
"This fight today is between Dao Lengtian and me. Now that Dao Lengtian has been defeated, do I really need to report to your Heavenly Nether Gate before enjoying the fruits of my victory? You Heavenly Nether Gate are overstepping your bounds!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Su Yuan's expression darkened. Just as he was about to respond, a voice with a faintly gloomy tone suddenly rang out:
"Hehe, little brother can certainly enjoy the fruits of victory without interference from Heavenly Nether Gate. However, claiming those fruits at the cost of Dao Lengtian's life seems rather cruel. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmities than to deepen them. Why not apologize to Dao Lengtian’s Vice Master and let this matter pass?"
Aotian's expression darkened as he turned his gaze toward the source of the voice.
The speaker was a White-Haired Elder, who wore a smile on his face but had no warmth in his eyes. When he looked at Aotian, there was an inexplicable hostility in his gaze.
"Who is this person?" Aotian quietly asked Snow Qincheng beside him.
"Zhou Wenping, Second Elder of Ice River Sect," Snow Qincheng replied with a serious expression.
Aotian's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this, clearly not expecting that a small Dao Lengtian could involve two giants within the Fengyun Nation.
Aotian also vaguely guessed why Zhou Wenping would have hostility towards him. Bai Xin was the Young Master of the Ice River Sect, and by defeating him, Aotian had taken his position among the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, which undoubtedly slapped the Ice River Sect in the face.
Given this situation, it would be strange for Zhou Wenping to treat Aotian politely. As for protecting Dao Lengtian, it was likely just an attempt to annoy Aotian.
The Grand Elder's expression also shifted from calm to somewhat grim. Clearly, he felt that the problem was becoming tricky.
Looking at Zhou Wenping, it was obvious he wanted to protect Dao Lengtian. If Aotian were to kill Dao Lengtian under these circumstances, he would offend three top forces: the Azure Cloud Sect, Heavenly Nether Gate, and Ice River Sect.
If all three forces acted simultaneously, even Xuantian Academy would likely struggle to withstand such immense pressure.
At this moment, the Grand Elder found himself in a difficult position.
The atmosphere in the Duel Arena became somewhat subdued with Zhou Wenping's presence. However, this silence did not last long before it was broken by a voice carrying a faint authority:
"Today's matter only concerns Aotian and Dao Lengtian; why should others meddle? In my opinion, it's best for everyone to stay out of it."
As the voice fell, a young man slowly stood up from his seat.
The young man was handsome and wore a yellow robe adorned with two four-clawed golden dragons, exuding an air of nobility and grandeur.
"Aotian, this young man is the famous Yellow Dragon," Snow Qincheng quietly introduced to Aotian.
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but be taken aback. The name Yellow Dragon was not just famous; it was practically thunderous!
Yellow Dragon, the current crown prince of the Fengyun Nation royal family, is also one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun.
However, despite being a prince, Yellow Dragon is the most low-key among the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, rarely taking action. Whenever he does, he has never been defeated.
From a certain perspective, Yellow Dragon's strength is at least equal to that of Luo Yiqiang. It is just that Yellow Dragon prefers to remain low-profile, which has allowed Luo Yiqiang to claim the top position.
Instances where Yellow Dragon makes a grand appearance are indeed rare. However, what truly surprises Aotian is that this prince seems to be on his side. After all, he and Yellow Dragon don't seem to have any prior relationship!
In response to Aotian's puzzled gaze, Yellow Dragon offers a friendly smile, which makes Aotian feel a bit more favorable towards this prince.
Subsequently, Aotian nods in acknowledgment, greeting Yellow Dragon.
The appearance of Yellow Dragon indeed catches Su Yuan and Zhou Wenping off guard. After all, Yellow Dragon's background is not simple. The power of the Fengyun Nation royal family is certainly not weaker than that of forces like the Azure Cloud Sect.
Especially since it seems that Yellow Dragon is aligned with Aotian. This further unsettles Su Yuan and the others.
Zhou Wenping bows slightly to Yellow Dragon, saying:
"The suggestion from Prince Yellow Dragon is good, but this is merely a small matter. Why must it escalate to the point of causing fatalities? You must understand that the overall strength of the Fengyun Nation is not strong; if we were to kill Dao Lengtian, it might provoke foreign powers!"
Indeed, upon hearing this, Yellow Dragon's expression changes slightly. Although the royal family of the Fengyun Nation does not have actual authority over those top-tier forces, in name, the entire Fengyun Nation belongs to the royal family.
Killing Dao Lengtian would indeed result in a loss of some power. If foreign forces were to take advantage of this and invade, what would happen to the royal family's prestige?
Just as Yellow Dragon is deep in thought, a Student suddenly rushes onto the Dueling Platform, standing before the Grand Elder and saying:
"The Grand Elder, a young lady claiming to be from the Purple Gold Chamber has arrived at our academy. Should we let her in?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the high platform gasped in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment.
The Purple Gold Chamber is an extremely unique entity within the Fengyun Nation; it is not only immensely wealthy but also possesses formidable strength.
From a certain perspective, even Xuantian Academy would not dare to provoke the Purple Gold Chamber.
Every year during the Dragon-Tiger Contest, Xuantian Academy sends invitations to the Purple Gold Chamber, yet they have never attended.
Clearly, the Purple Gold Chamber looks down upon Xuantian Academy's so-called Dragon-Tiger Contest.
While many dismiss this explanation, the elite warriors of Fengyun Nation are well aware of the inscrutable nature of the Purple Gold Chamber.
If the top forces of Fengyun Nation are like fierce tigers, then the Purple Gold Chamber is akin to a Sleeping Dragon. Though it may be dormant, anyone who dares to provoke it will find even the fiercest tiger torn apart by the divine dragon.
Now, with the Purple Gold Chamber sending someone to observe the Dragon-Tiger Contest, it is certainly hard for everyone to believe...
