Boom!
In the attic of the academy, a roaring sound immediately echoed through the sky.
The vast academy was instantly reduced to ruins. Many students watched the sky in terror, clearly having never experienced such a situation.
Several figures stood tall, each radiating immense power. The terrifying aura they condensed made heaven and earth change color.
In an instant, Zeng Shan and the others' expressions changed drastically. As their gazes shifted, several figures instantly appeared not far from Zeng Shan and the others.
"Six Divine Generals, three Archgods, two Elders. Your Heaven-Defying organization has truly spared no expense."
Zeng Shan glanced at the newcomers, his expression instantly turning colder.
Shu Chong smiled faintly and said, "Your academy's barrier is truly powerful, it actually took this old man a full quarter of an hour. There's no need for you to be nervous. This old man's purpose here is singular."
Shu Chong paused here, his expression gradually turning grim as he slowly spoke, "Hand over the Chosen One, and your academy and its countless students can be spared."
"If you refuse, what then?" Zeng Shan asked, a powerful scholarly aura surging from him as he stared directly at Shu Chong.
Shu Chong sneered, "If you refuse, then after today, there will be no more academy!"
"What arrogance!" Zeng Shan and the others were enraged. Terrifying scholarly auras erupted from their bodies. In an instant, Zeng Shan and the others' scholarly auras pushed back the oppressive aura of Shu Chong and his group.
At the same time, Yuan Hao, who was in the attic, slowly opened his eyes, as if sensing the situation outside. The movement of his hands also paused.
Buzz.
The next moment, Li Xuan's figure slowly appeared.
"Dean, thank you." Li Xuan bowed deeply to Yuan Hao, then looked towards the outside of the attic.
"It is merely my duty, no need for such. The academy, from this day forth, I entrust it to you." Yuan Hao waved his hand, and a white light instantly illuminated his body.
In the next instant, Yuan Hao's body straightened. Under Li Xuan's gaze, he directly passed through the attic and appeared in mid-air.
"Since our academy was founded, no one has ever dared to act in such a manner. Even though my time is near its end, this academy is not a place for you to run wild. Since you have come, then all of you shall stay!"
Yuan Hao's powerful voice resounded, and a terrifying scholarly aura instantly swept across heaven and earth. In a mere instant, even Shu Chong and Xu He were suppressed to the ground.
"You... you actually reached the Saint of Letters realm!"
Shock appeared on the faces of Shu Chong and the others. After exchanging glances, they unhesitatingly fled towards the distance.
"My heart's wish to the cold stars, unheard; I offer my blood to Xuanyuan!"
Yuan Hao's brows furrowed, and as he stepped forward, his figure began to dissipate. However, his scholarly aura, at this moment, grew even more intense and potent.
Buzz!
Wherever the scholarly aura, like the might of a mountain, passed, the army of the Heaven-Defying organization instantly dissolved into the heavens and earth.
Then, the Divine Generals and Archgods also could not escape. The moment they were enveloped by the scholarly aura, they too began to dissolve.
Seeing this, Xu Wei and Shu Chong accelerated their speed towards the Gate of Time and Space in the sky, clearly having been terrified by Yuan Hao's actions.
A few breaths later, Xu Wei and Shu Chong were only ten zhang away from the Gate of Time and Space. Seeing this, expressions of relief washed over their faces.
Boom!
At that moment, the scholarly aura surged forth. The moment the two stepped into the Gate of Time and Space, they were instantly struck by the scholarly aura.
"Ah..." Accompanied by a scream, the figures of Xu Wei and Shu Chong completely disappeared into the Gate of Time and Space.
As the Gate of Time and Space vanished, the scholarly aura also dissipated into the heavens and earth.
"Farewell, Dean!"
Seeing this, Zeng Shan and the others, with tears in their eyes, knelt in reverence.
Li Xuan, who had arrived outside the attic, also knelt with a solemn expression. Li Xuan knew that Yuan Hao could have disregarded him, and could have lived a little longer. But Yuan Hao chose the most direct and tragic way to perish, fulfilling his promise to him.
Buzz.
In mid-air, a Dao Seal slowly spun and descended before Li Xuan.
Li Xuan reached out and took the Dao Seal, his gaze towards the sky becoming resolute.
"Dean, may you have a good journey."
