Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Dean, We Refuse to Accept

Lu Xiao’s words left everyone from the Royal City Clan dumbfounded.

"The logic in that is all fine and well, but somehow it’s just infuriating..."

"So, don’t rush to cower."

"After all, the deed is done, and we’ll deal with what comes next when it comes."

"Besides, Lord City King will be out front taking the hits, what are you all so afraid of?"

After hearing Lu Xiao’s words, people just held back from speaking, and instead, incessantly rolled their eyes at Lu Xiao.

You sure make it sound easy.

You’re from Xuanyuan Tomb, and you hold Xuanyuan’s Order, you have nothing to fear.

But what about us? We’re just from some Royal City Clan.

We’ve been developing in Royal City for so many years to reach this scale, we haven’t even enjoyed our dividends for long.

Who knows how Penglai Holy Land will react.

If they really come to Royal City seeking vengeance, then surely the city will go through turmoil.

We don’t want turmoil; we just want a peaceful and happy life, we just want to enjoy harvesting our crops.

You have no idea how much money we can make in Royal City every year...

If chaos erupts, we might not get squat, not only that, we might end up dead.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you’re dismissed,"

"Don’t talk nonsense when you go back, and don’t gossip, got it?"

"Right now, Xuanyuan Tomb and Royal City are comrades in arms."

"If you piss me off, Lord City King definitely won’t let you off the hook."

A series of disdainful sighs filled the air.

Talking about how Mei Jibai shit and pissed on our heads, but aren’t you doing the same? What’s the difference.

About an hour later, the crowd around the Heavenly Platform had almost completely dispersed.

As for the corpses of Mei Jibai and Mei Tiexin, they were just buried on the spot.

"Lu Xiao, thanks," Yu Zhengxing gave Lu Xiao a sincere bow.

If Mei Jibai hadn’t died, who knows what would have happened to his family tomorrow.

"I just really couldn’t stand Mei Jibai," Lu Xiao waved his hand dismissively, and then raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Yu, don’t hesitate next time I ask you to fight."

Yu Zhengxing was slightly startled and then smiled, "Sure, next time you tell me to fight someone, I’ll fight them."

"Speaking of which, what’s next?" Zhan Qingyun chimed in at this time.

We’ve just killed two geniuses from Penglai Holy Land; the aftermath is going to be troublesome, one wrong move and the entire Divine Continent Realm might be thrown into chaos.

"What else can we do? Just go and have a chat with Lord City King," Lu Xiao looked towards Zhan Qingyun, "Dean, lead the way."

Zhan Qingyun nodded; after all, they had to report the situation to the City King first.

Soon, they descended from Heavenly Platform down to the foot of the mountain.

The students gathered at the bottom were still crowding the place.

After all, no one had seen Zhan Qingyun descend.

"You! Halt!" Upon seeing Lu Xiao, the two guards at the entrance perked up at once.

Alright, finally caught you.

However, seeing Lu Xiao standing next to Zhan Qingyun, the two guards did not apprehend him directly but instead gave Zhan Qingyun a respectful salute.

"Dean, this fellow is an Academy student, he just intruded on the Heavenly Platform," the guard pointed at Lu Xiao.

Zhan Qingyun shrugged his shoulders. Do you two not see Lu Xiao right by my side? Do you think I’m unaware that he’s an Academy student? Do you think I don’t know he barged up there?

What’s the point of saying all this?

"I’m aware, nothing else, you two keep guarding the gate well. If any other student breaks into Heavenly Platform again, the two of you are out!"

Hearing Zhan Qingyun’s words, the two guards were taken aback.

What? Lu Xiao is fine and we get scolded?

Damn it!

If I knew this was going to happen, I would have killed the kid on the mountain path no matter what.

"Bro, are you alright? You scared me to death," Feng Tianxing also ran up, relieved to see Lu Xiao unharmed.

Truthfully, he thought that this time Lu Xiao might not make it back.

Especially when he heard from the instructors and elders who had descended earlier that people had died on Heavenly Platform, two of them at that.

When Feng Tianxing heard the news, he even thought of a tombstone inscription for Lu Xiao.

"Dean, we don’t accept this, why does he get to intrude into Heavenly Platform without any punishment?" students in the crowd stood up and pointed at Lu Xiao.

Then, many people began to echo the sentiment.

Zhan Qingyun was somewhat speechless. These foolish yet clear-headed young people couldn’t really compare to Lu Xiao.

Look at what trivial issues you are fixated on, and look at what Lu Xiao is actually doing—murdering a Quasi-Half-Immortal, killing representatives of the Holy Land, and perhaps next even presiding over a major battle between Holy Lands...

"Why?"

"Because Lu Xiao is the disciple of Xuanyuan Panshi, the bearer of Xuanyuan’s Order."

"Because Lu Xiao could slay Quasi-Half-Immortals at twenty-five."

"Because he alone has secured my position as the Dean."

"Come on, if any of you can achieve even one of those feats, not to mention freely ascending the Heavenly Platform, I’d let you do as you please!" Zhan Qingyun roared at the crowd.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

The disciple of Xuanyuan Panshi? The bearer of Xuanyuan’s Order? Killing a Quasi-Half-Immortal at twenty-five? Securing Zhan Qingyun’s position by himself?

Holy shit, any one of these achievements is explosive, and all four together? You wouldn’t even dare to dream it.

The two guards just couldn’t help but swallow nervously, thinking how fortunate they were for not stopping him before... or else they might have been dead.
