Chapter 4925: Expulsion
In the last thousand years, top masters have traveled to Abroad for dao study. They were stronger than Yue Shanjian but still called him âFirst Brotherâ.
This wasnât due to his age but rather, his responsibility and duty in Abroad.
âClank!â The young monarchâs aura couldnât get through the unbreakable sword dao.
Sword hymns could be heard and it actually pushed back the light.
âFirst Brother.â The young monarchâs expression soured.
Yue Shanjian waved his hand and said: âThis ends here. Everyone, leave.â
âFirst Brother, letting thieves run rampant will diminish Abroad Hallâs prestige.â The young monarch didnât want to give up.
He wisely ignored Deityâs action and focused on the âthievesâ instead.
âAbroad is an educational institution for all, whether they be a saint or a villain. The everlasting prestige of Abroad wonât be ruined over this little matter.â Shanjian responded.
He spoke calmly but with confidence and stirred the crowd. This was indeed the truth since countless top masters had learned at Abroad before.
The lengthy history naturally included heinous villains as well. However, did this ruin Abroadâs reputation and prestige? No, cultivators in the lower continents continued to join it.
This was the all-welcoming Abroad - something different from any sect or kingdom. No single cultivator would ever make it more famous or lessen its popularity.
Even if there were thieves and villains here in Abroad today, it simply made no difference.
âBut First Brother, villains and thieves should be persecuted.â The young monarch still tried to take the moral high ground.
âRadiant Young Monarch.â Shanjian stared at him and said: âDeity must stop its operation right now in Abroad. This is my will and the academyâs. Pass this message to the ancestors.â
He got straight to the point instead of running around in a circle with the young genius. Plus, the academy didnât give anyone face regardless of their background and backing.
âFirst Brother, do you wish to protect the thieves?â The young monarch asked.
âIf you are unsatisfied with anything, you may leave Abroad. The academy does not restrict students from doing what they want but also does not welcome troublemakers.â Shanjian responded, implying that expulsion might be the consequence.
This flustered the young monarch. Everyone immediately quieted down.
Entering Abroad was rather easy. Just a quick registration was all it took. The reason didnât matter either; even beggars could come here to search for food.
Expulsion simply wasnât a thing in history. After all, if people hated it here, they could just leave. In a sense, being expelled would be extraordinarily rare - potentially unprecedented - and humiliating. Everyone in the lower continents would hear of this and laugh at them.
Rumors might be spread as well regarding the circumstances, true or not. Since heinous villains had gone here without being kicked out, what would one have to do to suffer this punishment?
Therefore, the young monarch didnât want the infamy. This humiliation would follow him for a lifetime.
His friends, Swordgrasp and Halo, didnât interfere either. Their background didnât matter since even Conceal Conqueror obeyed the rules here.
In the end, the young monarch scowled once before leaving. Throwing out fierce words was useless because the academy has shown its stance, not allowing Deity to continue its search.
âThis matter is over, disperse.â Shanjian told the crowd and then left.
Both factions bowed in his direction since they knew that he was only carrying out his duty. He had never shown favoritism to either side before.
The crowd dispersed, leaving Li Qiye and the others behind.
âYoung Noble, we protected you just now, isnât this a big contribution? If you have anything nice, you should share it with us.â Ming Shi winked at him.
âBig contribution? No, this is how it should be. If The People do not show solidarity, they deserve to be bullied by The Race.â Li Qiye chuckled.
âYouâre right, Young Noble.â Yunyun responded.
At the start, if students from The People had shown enough courage and solidarity to stop Deityâs search, this wouldnât have happened in the first place.
âHow stingy.â Ming Shi murmured in a cute manner.
As the conversation continued, a girl with a scattering of freckles on her face approached. Though her attire was unassuming and her features were unremarkable, her eyes were striking as she fixed her gaze on Li Qiye.
