The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1004 - 1002: Chief Disciple of Sword Art Academy! Murong Fei!

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1002: Chief Disciple of Sword Art Academy! Murong Fei!

Seeing Pei Ji approaching with ill intent, Tang Bufan was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

"Lin Bai, you must be very careful, I really can’t help you this time." Seeing Pei Ji, an elder of high rank personally summoning Lin Bai, Tang Bufan could tell the gravity of the situation.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "Warm the wine, wait for me to return and drink it."

"Okay!"

Tang Bufan looked at Lin Bai anxiously and nodded his head.

"Let’s go, Elder Pei Ji!"

Immediately, Lin Bai followed Elder Pei Ji and left Shadow Mountain, heading directly to the Elder Pavilion of the Sword Art Academy.

Sword Art Academy, Elder Pavilion!

This place belonged entirely to the upper echelons of the Sword Art Academy, where ordinary disciples could not easily enter!

Inside the Elder Pavilion.

Along with Pei Ji, a total of seven high-ranking elders had arrived!

There were over a hundred middle-ranking elders!

And there were even more low-ranking elders, numbering over five hundred!

There were also many core disciples from the Sword Art Academy present!

Among these disciples was a young man in his late twenties, dressed in a green robe, his face bearing an arrogant look and his eyes dull with a sense of unrivaled superiority.

Standing among the crowd, this man was as conspicuous as a crane in a flock of chickens, his presence seemingly more eye-catching than that of all the high-ranking elders at the scene!

This person was Murong Fei!

Lin Bai and Pei Ji entered the Elder Pavilion.

Looking up, Dean Dugu Yun sat upright, a slight smile on his face as he watched Lin Bai.

Beneath Dugu Yun, there sat a middle-aged man with a sullen face and piercing eyes sharp as an eagle’s, motionless, but the authority emanating from him was so intense that it seemed to suffocate everyone in the room.

"Dean, Lin Bai has been brought here!"

After entering the Elder Pavilion, Pei Ji softly stated.

"Disciple Lin Bai, I have come to see the Dean and all the elders of the Elder Pavilion!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly and greeted with clasped hands.

Before Dugu Yun could speak, Vice Dean Murong Hai sharply rebuked, "Lin Bai, are you aware of your crimes?"

Lin Bai was startled and asked, "I am not aware, Master!"

"Ha!"

"What audacity!"

"To be on the brink of death and still not recognize your crimes!"

"In the ten-plus years I’ve been an elder at the Sword Art Academy, I have never seen a disciple so ignorant of his fate!"

"Dean, I request that Lin Bai be executed immediately to set an example!"

The moment they heard Lin Bai deny any wrongdoing, a group of middle-ranking elders in the Elder Pavilion started glaring at Lin Bai and angrily shouted.

The expressions on these middle-ranking elders’ faces made it look as if they wanted to devour Lin Bai alive.

Only the high-ranking elders, Pei Ji, Lin Baoyu, Xue Qing, and others remained silent, not speaking a word.

Lin Bai stood in the hall, innocently looking at the surrounding elders.

Murong Hai then said, "Are you aware that stealing the treasures of the Sword Art Academy and learning secretly is a great taboo in the Martial World, and within the Sword Art Academy, it is a capital offense?"

Lin Bai said, "I did not steal any learning."

Murong Hai sneered, "Then where did you learn the Supreme Sword? Could there possibly be an extraneous source outside?"

"Are you now telling me that you don’t know the Supreme Sword?"

"Stop arguing, Zhu Kun saw everything."

Murong Hai said coldly.

Immediately, Zhu Kun stepped forward and pointed at Lin Bai, "Indeed, I saw with my own eyes, this man used the Second Form of the Supreme Sword both in the Primordial World and at Martial Intent Mountain!"

"Dean, I remember that according to the rules of the Swordsmanship Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge, only the Dean and the Chief Disciple are qualified to practice the Supreme Sword!"

"And this Lin Bai is neither the Dean nor the Chief Disciple; he must have secretly learned the Supreme Sword. Please discern this matter clearly, Dean!"

Zhu Kun addressed Dugu Yun.

Murong Hai said, "Lin Bai, what else do you have to say?"

"Heh, Vice Dean Murong Hai, I think you are mistaken. I never said I couldn’t use the Supreme Sword!"

"What I said was, I didn’t learn it secretly!"

Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Murong Hai sneered, "Since you’ve admitted that you know the Supreme Sword and you are neither the Chief Disciple nor the Dean of the Sword Art Academy, if it’s not stolen learning, then where did you get it from?"

Lin Bai helplessly glanced at Murong Hai and said, "Vice Dean Murong Hai, who is really in charge here at the Sword Art Academy? The Dean is here, so why are you calling the shots now?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Hai was startled and immediately said to Dugu Yun, "I did not mean that, I just wanted to urgently clarify the facts of the matter, please do not blame me, Dean!"

Lin Bai said, "Dean, please say something, or else these people are going to eat me alive."

At that moment, Dugu Yun, who was sitting in a high seat, slowly opened an eye and looked at Lin Bai, "Which move have you practiced to?"

"The Second Form," Lin Bai calmly replied, "I was planning to learn the rest tomorrow, but unexpectedly, I was summoned here."

"How confident are you that you can master the Supreme Sword?" Dugu Yun asked seriously.

"Completely confident!" Lin Bai smiled lightly.

Hiss—

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s reply, a look of delight appeared on Dugu Yun’s face.

"Heh, ridiculous!" Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Murong Fei scoffed disdainfully from the side.

Lin Bai glanced at him casually, then lost interest.

At this point, Dugu Yun said, "Enough, let’s not argue anymore."

"Lin Bai indeed did not secretly learn the Supreme Sword!"

Dugu Yun declared.

At this, Zhu Kun incredulously said, "Dean, Dean, if Lin Bai didn’t secretly learn the Supreme Sword, then how does he know the Second Form of the Supreme Sword?"

"That’s simple, because I gave him the authority to practice the Supreme Sword," Dugu Yun said, staring coldly at Zhu Kun.

"What!"

"The authority given by the Dean!"

"To let Lin Bai privately practice the Supreme Sword!"

"This..."

Hearing Dugu Yun’s response, all the middle-ranking Elders at the scene were stunned.

Upon hearing this, Murong Hai immediately said, "Dean, this seems to be against the rules, isn’t it?"

"What rules?" Dugu Yun asked with a smile.

Murong Hai said coldly, "Since ancient times, the rule of the Sword Art Academy has been that only the Dean and the Chief Disciple are qualified to practice the Supreme Sword. You are abusing your authority by allowing a disciple of unknown origin to practice it!"

"What if this person is a spy sent by another Monastery? What then?"

"Do you, as the Dean of the Sword Art Academy, also enjoy abusing your authority?"

Murong Hai’s words were cold as he addressed Dugu Yun.

Lin Bai, standing below, listened to this and thought, just as Dugu Yun had said, if it weren’t for fear of Dugu Yun’s strength in the Flying Sky Realm, Murong Hai would have likely taken over the position of Dean of the Sword Art Academy long ago.
