Chapter 859 - 857: Honorary Vice Dean of Dan Dao Courtyard! [Fifth Update]

Chapter 859: Chapter 857: Honorary Vice Dean of Dan Dao Courtyard! [Fifth Update]

For a moment, in the arena of Dan Dao Courtyard, six high-ranking Elders were on the verge of taking action against one another.

The momentum of swords, the aura of sabers, the might of fists - they clashed intensely within the arena.

Waves of breath-taking power turned the faces of over three hundred thousand Warriors ghostly pale.

"Cough, cough!"

Just as the situation was becoming dire, and none of the Warriors even dared to breathe too heavily, a light coughing sound transmitted through the area.

Everyone began searching for the source of the cough.

When all gazes converged, they landed on Lu Qingyu.

Even the likes of Liujing Feng, Zuo Kai, Yun Xun, Sea of Clouds, Pei Ji, and Lin Baoyu directed their attention toward him.

Lu Qingyu smiled faintly, "At last, someone has noticed this old man."

"Six Elders, you’re all quite aggressive, each of you eager to protect the disciples of your respective courtyards. This, I can understand."

"After all, every talent is hard to come by!"

"But have you considered where we are?"

Lu Qingyu stood up from the Dean’s seat, his smile gradually fading. A terrifying power began emanating from him, causing heaven and earth to quake.

Within this power, the sword momentum of Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu immediately collapsed, the fist might of Liujing Feng and Zuo Kai also dissipated, and the saber aura of Yun Xun and Sea of Clouds vanished in the blink of an eye!

Lu Qingyu said angrily, "We are in the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard! You all vie aggressively in front the hundreds of thousands of Warriors here. Do you not think it’s beneath the dignity of high-ranking Elders?"

"You six together have lived over six hundred years. How can you still act like children, so rude!"

"If you want to take action here, what place are you leaving for the Dan Dao Courtyard?"

"This is utterly disgraceful!"

Lu Qingyu roared.

Upon hearing this, Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu, realizing that Lu Qingyu was incensed, sheathed their treasure swords.

Indeed, as Lu Qingyu said, this was the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard. To start a fight here would unquestionably be slapping the face of Dan Dao Courtyard.

Seeing Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu sheathe their swords, Lu Qingyu’s face softened slightly.

Meanwhile, Liujing Feng, who was standing to the side, had no such intentions. Now was the best time to severely wound Lin Bai, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.

Liujing Feng said with a smile, "Dean Lu Qingyu, you’re taking this too seriously. The Dan Dao Courtyard is a place we all respect and we mean no disrespect. It’s just that the issue between Tang Zong and Lin Bai today is a breach of the rules of the Miracle Ridge."

"The Sword Art Academy is also disinclined to punish them, so as Elders of the Miracle Ridge, we naturally cannot tolerate such miscreants escaping justice!"

"I ask that you, Senior Lu Qingyu, do not intervene in this matter."

Liujing Feng said indifferently.

The rules of the Miracle Ridge?

What rules?

Since when were there such rules?

Many people were unaware of any such rules.

So, where did these rules come from?

It was clear that Liujing Feng was using a pretext he had concocted; he simply wanted to kill Lin Bai here.

Lu Qingyu chuckled coldly, "Hehe, Liujing Feng, so what you’re saying is, you want to kill Lin Bai and Tang Zong in the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard?"

Liujing Feng said flatly, "If they dare to resist, then I, Liujing Feng, can only reluctantly cut down the talents."

Lu Qingyu laughed coldly, "How impressive, the high-ranking Elder of the Fist Daoist Courtyard!"

"Then go ahead and take action."

Lu Qingyu said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu were surprised and looked at Lu Qingyu.

Pei Ji said anxiously, "Dean Lu Qingyu, even if Tang Zong and Lin Bai are in the wrong, after all, this is a matter for the Sword Art Academy. Could we perhaps take them back to the academy where the Sword Art Academy will punish them accordingly?"

Lin Baoyu also said, "Yes, Dean Lu Qingyu, what you are doing may not be appropriate."

Liujing Feng laughed heartily, "Dean Lu Qingyu is wise. There is nothing inappropriate about this. If someone does something wrong, they should be punished!"

Lin Bai and Tang Zong, upon hearing Lu Qingyu’s words, instantly turned deathly pale.

Tang Zong, in particular, was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face filled with despair.

Lin Bai’s face darkened as he silently began to circulate the Qingge Sword.

Lu Qingyu smiled and said, "Pei Ji, Lin Baoyu, there’s no need for further discussion. Since Liujing Feng wants to take action to discipline Lin Bai and Tang Zong, let him do so!"

"However, Liujing Feng, I must remind you of one thing!"

"Lin Bai is now the honorary vice-dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard!"

"If anything happens to him, I, Lu Qingyu, swear that within one month I will leave the Fist Daoist Courtyard decimated!"

"Alchemists are not only skilled at making spiritual pills, we are also quite adept at concocting poisons!"

"You... take action!"

Lu Qingyu said with a light chuckle as he looked at Liujing Feng.

Liujing Feng had been planning to leap out and kill Lin Bai in secret.

But upon hearing Lu Qingyu’s words, he immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with surprise as he asked, "When did Lin Bai become the honorary vice dean of your Dan Dao Courtyard?"

Lu Qingyu replied, "If I say he is, then he is!"

"What, does your Fist Daoist Courtyard have such a long reach that you want to meddle in the affairs of my Dan Dao Courtyard too?"

Lu Qingyu asked with a cold laugh.

"What!"

"Lin Bai is our Dan Dao Courtyard’s honorary vice dean?"

"Then we can’t let Lin Bai die, damn it, if our vice dean gets killed in the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard by someone from the Fist Daoist Courtyard, then what face do we have left!"

"Now that Lin Bai is the honorary vice dean, our Dan Dao Courtyard can’t just stand by and do nothing!"

As soon as Lu Qingyu’s voice fell, a group of elders from the Dan Dao Courtyard began to speak up.

Swish—

A shadow fell upon the arena from the seats of the high-ranking elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Liujing Feng and Pei Ji both turned their gaze there.

"The high-ranking elder of the Dan Dao Courtyard, Niu Wenbo!"

This white-haired, youthful-looking old man was indeed a high-ranking elder within the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Niu Wenbo, too, was a figure with a resounding reputation within the Dan Dao Courtyard; this old man had no love for concocting spiritual pills in his lifetime, preferring instead to craft poisons.

Furthermore, Niu Wenbo had another title on the Miracle Ridge: the number one poison master of the Miracle Ridge!

Normally, he would not have appeared on the scene.

But after hearing Lu Qingyu announce that Lin Bai was the Dan Dao Courtyard’s honorary vice dean, the Courtyard could no longer remain indifferent.

After all, if the vice dean of their own courtyard was killed in the arena, it would be a complete loss of face.

After Niu Wenbo took to the stage, he chuckled, "Come on then, Liujing Feng, you wanted to take action against our Dan Dao Courtyard’s honorary vice dean, let’s have a try!"

"If you dare to make a move today, old man guarantees that within one month, not a single person or animal of your Fist Daoist Courtyard will be left alive!"

Niu Wenbo wore a mischievous smile as he gazed at Liujing Feng.

Liujing Feng, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Niu Wenbo, was filled with horror.

He was genuinely wary of the number one poison master from the Miracle Ridge.

Liujing Feng stood there with a dark expression, as Lu Qingyu and the Dan Dao Courtyard were clearly intent on protecting Lin Bai—should he take action now, it was likely the Fist Daoist Courtyard would be met with furious retribution from the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Especially concerning Niu Wenbo, whose poisons could compare to the Three Great Miraculous Poisons of the Five Poison Sect!

Lu Qingyu waited for a long while, then asked, "Liujing Feng, are you going to take action or not? If not, then get out of here!"

"Get out!"

Lu Qingyu bellowed.

Liujing Feng, his face flushed with anger, had initially been uninvolved, but had interjected with brutality, intending to kill Lin Bai, but now he found himself in a difficult position.

Lu Qingyu had not left him any dignity, telling Liujing Feng to get out directly.

With a dark face like still water, Liujing Feng said, "I take my leave!"

With that, Liujing Feng, along with Zuo Kai, left the Dan Dao Courtyard immediately!

Lu Qingyu then turned to Yun Xun and Hai Hai, saying, "Your Knife Dao Sect should really teach your disciples well to cultivate diligently and not just engage in opportunistic tricks; it’s hard to succeed in martial arts that way."

Yun Xun and Hai Hai forced a smile and agreed repeatedly.

Then, Yun Xun and Hai Hai also left the Dan Dao Courtyard!

Lu Qingyu looked at Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu, "This matter was originally a minor incident amongst disciples. Pei Ji, by relying on your high cultivation, you’ve shown biased favoritism towards your disciple, to the extent that it almost led to the Sword Art Academy, Fist Daoist Courtyard, and Knife Dao Sect going to war."

"You have to take the primary responsibility for this incident. Go and seek forgiveness from Senior Dugu Yun yourself; I can’t be bothered to deal with your Sword Art Academy!"

Pei Ji nodded, "Yes!"

Lu Qingyu looked around and said loudly, "Now, Qing’er, begin concocting the Human Emperor Elixir!"

"I hope the previous incident hasn’t affected your state of mind!"

"Pei Ji, Lin Baoyu, since you are here, stay and watch the Three Great Miracle Pills of our Dan Dao Courtyard!"

Pei Ji asked curiously, "Dean Lu Qingyu, could it be that Gu Yueqing is really capable of concocting the Human Emperor Elixir?"

Upon hearing Pei Ji’s words, a smile appeared on Lu Qingyu’s stern face, "This wouldn’t have been possible without Lin Bai from your Sword Art Academy. Today, he should be able to concoct the Human Emperor Elixir!"

Whoosh—

Both Pei Ji and Lin Baoyu looked at Lin Bai in surprise.

They wondered how Lin Bai was capable of advising Gu Yueqing on the concoction of the Human Emperor Elixir.
