In the main hall, Lin Mo was lying in a pool of blood, breathless. Wu Yinting was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and peed himself. He had never dreamed that Ye Xuan would be so powerful.

In the entire Great Xia Empire, there were only a handful of people who were above Lin Mo.

Ye Xuan killed him in one strike. Could he be a Mingxuan realm expert? Wu Yinting was shocked by his own thoughts. Impossible. How could he have the strength of a Mingxuan realm expert at such a young age?

Gao Ying was also shocked. He had thought that Ye Xuan’s trump card was Cao Zhengchun, but it turned out that Ye Xuan was the true expert. In the next moment, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He muttered to himself, “The Crown Prince is so powerful. Xia will be saved.”

Little did he know.

Ye Xuan only had the strength of a Tongxuan, so it was impossible for him to kill Lin Mo. The reason he could kill Lin Mo in one strike was that he had used the Instant Kill Card.

The invincible sword could kill everything in an instant.

He didn’t feel that it was a waste to use the Instant Kill Card to get rid of Lin Mo. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys had a huge effect. Killing one person could shock the entire Great Xia, so the use of the Instant Kill Card was very valuable.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s eyes on him, Gao Ying seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly said, “Your Highness, the sun is shining brightly today. The weather is really good. The sun is hanging high in the sky. It’s really good, really good.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Your Highness, I did not see anything.”

This was a smart person.

He knew that Ye Xuan didn’t want to reveal his strength, so he could only pretend to be blind.

Ye Xuan said, “Eunuch Gao, take Lord Wu back. I want to have a chat with him. Also, inform Commander Ling to seal Chang’an Academy and the Wu Manor.”

“I will do it now,” Gao Ying said.

Just as he was about to leave the great hall with Wu Yinting, a powerful spiritual Qi descended from the sky and appeared beside them. The person who had arrived was none other than Cao Zhengchun.

In his hand was a bloody head. It was Gu Tiangang. “Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn’t control myself and accidentally killed him.

“It doesn’t matter if you killed him.”

“Your Highness, why did you call me back?” Cao Zhengchun asked.

Ye Xuan glanced at Gao Ying, signaling for him to take Wu Yinting and leave. In a moment, only the two of them were left in the broken hall. “Zhengchun, I asked you to come back because I want you to investigate the power behind the Grand Tutor and the Grand Preceptor, and also Xuantian Sect.”

Cao Zhengchun nodded. “I understand.”

The two left the hall and came to the square. The previous battle had alarmed the academy’s teachers and disciples. They were gathered in the square when they suddenly saw Ye Xuan and his companion walking over, and their eyes all fell on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he swept his gaze across the crowd. “Principal Gu Tiangang and Sage Lin Mo have plotted against me and tried to assassinate me. They have been killed on the spot. From now on, the royal family will take control of the academy and will not affect the lives of the teachers and disciples.”

“As for the position of the principal, I will send someone here. From now on, Chang’an Academy will take orders from the empire. If there are any disloyal people, you will leave the academy immediately.”

Everyone in the square was shocked. Many disciples didn’t know Ye Xuan’s identity, but they knew the strength of the principal and Lin Mo. The two of them were easily killed, so this was a real fight.

A few teachers knelt down, and an old man said in a deep voice, “I’ll follow Your Highness’s arrangements.”

Ye Xuan glanced at the old man. “Teacher, what’s your name?”

“Your Highness, I’m Ning Bai,” the old man replied.

Ye Xuan nodded. “From now on, you’re the vice principal of Chang’an Academy, and you’ll be in charge of everything. Before the principal comes, you can report to me directly in the palace if you have any questions.”

Ning Bai was stunned for a moment. “I thank Your Highness for your grace. I will definitely manage the academy well.”

Ye Xuan stood up and left, with Cao Zhengchun following closely behind. He left Gu Tiangang’s head in the square. Everyone’s eyes fell on the head, and they retreated in fear.

Ning Bai watched Ye Xuan leave and muttered to himself, “The Crown Prince is overbearing!”

As he moved forward, a system notification rang in his ears. “Ding, a reminder to you, Master, the check-in location has been refreshed — Chang’an Academy!”

“Ding, congratulations Master for killing Mingxuan expert Lin Mo. You have received a system reward gift bag.”

Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate at all. “Check in immediately.”

“Ding, congratulations Master, you have successfully checked in to Chang’an Academy and obtained Zhang Sanfeng’s loyalty, Poxuan realm.”

Taoist Spiritual Master Zhang?

Ye Xuan looked at the information displayed by the system.

Character: Zhang Sanfeng

Title: Taoist Spiritual Master Zhang

Realm: Poxuan Realm Level Five

Cultivation Technique: Tai Chi Mystic Technique, Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, Nine Suns Clear Sky Technique!

Martial Arts Technique: Tai Chi Sword Picture, Xiantian One Sword

Divine Power: True Body of Tai Chi, Righteousness Qi.

Not bad, not bad.

Ye Xuan was very satisfied. He had been worried that Chang’an Academy didn’t have a principal. Now that Zhang Sanfeng was here, who was more suitable than him?

He was very assured to leave Chang’an Academy in Zhang Sanfeng’s hands.

Great Xia already had a Poxuan expert, and his foundation had become stronger again.

“System, I’ll collect the gift bag immediately.”

“Ding! Congratulations, Master. You have successfully received the system gift bag. You have been rewarded with 100 Bloodline Pills, the divine weapon Green Dragon Crescent Blade, a cultivation technique Eternal Indestructible Golden Body, and part one of the pharmacopeia.

The reward for killing Lin Mo was so generous.

The Bloodline Pill could awaken and improve one’s bloodline.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was not Brother Guan’s weapon. However, when he saw the contents of the system’s introduction, he could not remain calm. There was a green dragon sealed within the blade. It could make the blade recognize its owner and have the opportunity to open the seal and use the green dragon for himself.

Ye Xuan was shocked. Even if it was sealed now, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was still an invincible weapon.

For the Eternal Indestructible Golden Body, once it was cultivated to the peak, it would be undying and indestructible. No attack could break through his defense.

The pharmacopeia was a supreme secret manual that recorded countless methods of refining medicine, pill recipes, and insights. It was known as the number one divine book for refining medicine.

After leaving Chang’an Academy, Ye Xuan was in a good mood. After parting with Cao Zhengchun, he walked down the long street alone. The lights were on, and Chang’an was bustling. He did not return to the Eastern Palace but instead walked toward Old General Ji.

At this moment, at the back mountain of Chang’an Academy.

The Grand Preceptor, the Grand Tutor, and the Left Minister were still waiting at the edge of the cliff. It was already late at night, but Lin Mo had yet to arrive. The three of them looked puzzled and were certain that something big had happened in Chang’an Academy.

The three of them didn’t go to the academy to check it out but chose to leave instead. Under unknown circumstances, they wouldn’t risk their lives.

…..

Ji Manor.

Ye Xuan appeared outside the mansion and was stopped by two guards. “May I know why you are here, Young Master?”

It was obvious that the two guards didn’t know Ye Xuan, but they couldn’t be blamed. He was banished to the cold palace for three years, so it was normal for him to be forgotten.

“Please inform Old General Ji that Ye Xuan requests an audience!”

The two of them saw Ye Xuan’s extraordinary temperament and knew that he must have a great background. One of them quickly turned and ran into the mansion.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ji Ye and his family came to the door of the Ji Manor. “I didn’t know that Your Highness was coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming you.”

Ye Xuan helped Ji Ye up. “Old General, you’re too serious. I came to the manor on a whim.”

“Your Highness, please enter!” Ji Ye hurriedly said.
