Chapter 541: Chapter 541: I’m Helping You Guys

Seeing Yu Heng draw his sword, Mei Jibai finally panicked.

Yu Heng was Half Immortal Third Level, and his realm alone was higher than Mei’s.

Moreover, Yu Heng’s combat strength was widely recognized as strong.

Facing Yu Heng, he estimated he wouldn’t survive more than a few moves before dying.

"Yu Heng, you can’t kill me! If I die, my great-grandfather will surely avenge me, and then none of you will live!" Mei Jibai took two steps back.

Confronted with Mei Jibai’s threat, Yu Heng let out a cold laugh.

Your great-grandfather avenge you? I doubt it.

The old codger Mei Yue is nearly two hundred years old, practically on the verge of dying of old age.

These years, Mei Yue has rarely appeared, spending most of his time in seclusion trying to advance further.

You, Mei Jibai, are just one of his many great-grandsons, and Mei Yue the old thief probably doesn’t even know your name.

Avenge you? Incite enmity with both Xuanyuan Tomb and Royal City for you?

Is your face that big?

"Since you’ve mentioned it, count me in as well." On the side, Zhan Qingyun, who had been silent, suddenly drew his sword.

Although he didn’t represent Royal City, in some sense, his taking action was tantamount to Royal City taking action.

After all, he was the Academy Director.

If Penglai Holy Land really wanted to avenge Mei Jibai, they would have to take Royal City into account.

After all, Lord City King couldn’t just watch himself being slain by Penglai Holy Land.

"Zhan Qingyun, don’t mess around!"

"What’s with the commotion – stop it!"

"Damn, someone stop Zhan Qingyun."

The elders from the Academy reacted quickly, rushing forward to try to stop Zhan Qingyun.

If Zhan Qingyun took action, it would mean binding the entire Royal City to this affair.

So what if we ally with the Xuanyuan Tomb? Neutrality still smells sweeter.

Look at these years, Royal City has always been neutral. Not only has our strength steadily improved, but everyone has also been living in peace and contentment.

If things really got out of hand, resulting in conflict, we might not have good days ahead.

And if Royal City were to ally with Xuanyuan Tomb, the other three Holy Lands would definitely become wary, and if they band together, we would still be finished.

But regrettably, even though those elders reacted swiftly, in the end, they weren’t powerful enough.

Zhan Qingyun was Half-Immortal Realm Eighth Layer, and with a mantra, he charged in front of Mei Jibai.

Zhan Qingyun didn’t bother with shallow pretenses with Mei Jibai; with a slash, he broke through Mei Jibai’s Inner Qi Barrier and then thrust his long sword directly into Mei Jibai’s chest.

Before Mei Jibai could react, Yu Heng’s sword had also arrived.

The flash of the sword passed, directly severing Mei Jibai’s neck.

Blood spurted out, and his breath ceased.

The scene fell into a fourth deathly silence.

Mei Tiexin died, and so did Mei Jibai. With two from the Penglai Holy Land dead, the matter had thoroughly blown up.

"It’s all because of Lu Xiao!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Then, all eyes converged on Lu Xiao.

There was anger, resentment, and even more hatred.

"Blaming me? You bunch of idiots, I’m helping you!" Lu Xiao retorted directly.

Helping us?

"Help your granddad."

"Do you have any shame, Lu Xiao? Are those words of a human being?"

"Exactly, what have you helped us with?"

"Mei Tiexin was killed by you, and Mei Jibai was murdered at your behest. It has nothing to do with our Royal City or with our First Academy."

A group of people started shouting, and some had even begun to clear their own names.

"Shut your damn mouths, you bunch of idiots!" Lu Xiao cursed with color.

"Crap, you’re all grown-ups; why can’t you just use your brains?"

"I’m just asking you one thing, which Holy Land ever got ahead by being cowards?"

"Today, Mei Jibai dares to slaughter the clans of Royal City at will; tomorrow, he might just shit on your heads."

"The more you fear him, the less he’ll take you seriously."

"It’s just a Half-Immortal Realm Second Level from a Holy Land, for crying out loud. I even took down Zhai He with my master, and Zhai He was at Half-Immortal Realm Fourth Level. Did Royal City give me trouble for that? Did they bother Xuanyuan Tomb?"
