All the anxiety and tension was due to the lack of firepower.
Fortunately, Su Jingzhen, who was accompanied by Bai Suzhen, had plenty of firepower.
Therefore, his face was calm at that moment. He didn’t move when the enemy didn’t move, and he definitely wouldn’t be the first to greet them.
After all, this was just a remote wilderness for him. At worst, he could ask Bai Suzhen to intervene and wipe out all these people from Dongxuan Academy here.
No one would know.
Anyway, all of this was nothing to Su Jingzhen.
And he still didn’t know that Cang Yun harbored a deep grudge and absolute murderous intentions against him.
Otherwise, Su Jingzhen would probably have taken direct action.
Su Jingzhen did not know that Cang Yun had conspired with Zou Zeyu and Tuoba Junlin in the Great Hall.
If he had found out, he probably wouldn’t have let this guy go.“Daoist Su, what a coincidence to meet you here.”
As the atmosphere gradually became heavy, Han Ning finally took the initiative to speak.
As a Soul Formation level cultivator, taking the initiative to greet a Flesh Body Nascent Embryo level Su Jingzhen was a sign of great respect.
However, Su Jingzhen let out a cold snort: “Hehe, you’re saying these lofty words at this time, it’s rather amusing.
Whether we meet or not is unimportant. What’s important is that Dongxuan Academy has already taken the initiative to attack me.
Are you trying to declare war on my Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect?
Or are you trying to show your attitude? If you are sincere, Su Jingzhen won’t necessarily refuse.”
As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, the entire scene fell silent.
Only the mountain wind continued to howl around them.
After a few moments of silence, the younger generation of Dongxuan Academy all curled their lips in mockery.
“This guy doesn’t seem to understand the situation, does he? Or does he think that because he killed a few Nascent Soul cultivators in this Dantang Ruins, he can turn the world upside down?”
“Maybe he hasn’t seen the gap between the Soul Formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage. Are all the cultivators of the demonic path so arrogant?”
“It looks like things won’t be resolved peacefully today. Even though Elder Han and the others have always been kind to others, that doesn’t mean they don’t have pride.”
“…”
The young disciples of Dongxuan Academy all muttered to each other.
In their eyes, Su Jingzhen’s words had sealed their fate for today.
The sudden attack of the Divine Wind Eagle on Su Jingzhen and his companion had indeed been unexpected by everyone at Dongxuan Academy.
It was the Divine Wind Eagle that had acted on its own.
It seemed to hold a grudge, remembering their previous encounter on the way here.
Therefore, it was impossible for Su Jingzhen to expect an apology from Han Ning and the others.
While Han Ning and the other Soul Formation level cultivator hadn’t expressed their attitude yet, Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned to the east.
The horizon was already tinged with the pale light of dawn.
The sunrise was imminent.
He smiled again: “It seems that Dongxuan Academy is truly determined to wage war against my Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect today.
Looking to the east, today’s sunrise should be beautiful, but it’s a pity that the people of Dongxuan Academy probably won’t be able to see it.”
His words were laced with murderous intent.
The black brick in his hand seemed to emit a faint light.
“Suzhen, I’ve already said my piece, you can’t let me lose face, can you?”
He arrogantly faced the crowd of Dongxuan Academy while subtly sending a message to Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen’s casually conjured barrier had been able to withstand the attacks of several Soul Formation level cultivators.
He believed that as long as Bai Suzhen was willing to intervene, Han Ning and the other two Soul Formation cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance against her. Ṟä₦ꝋΒƐ𝘴
Han Ning’s brow furrowed even deeper.
As a Soul Formation level cultivator, of course, he wouldn’t be afraid of Su Jingzhen or Xuening.
Even though Su Jingzhen was the most outstanding junior they had encountered, he was still just a junior.
He was still one step away from challenging the authority of a Soul Formation level cultivator.
However, in the end, they were still wary of Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng’s performance in the grand hall earlier was deeply etched in their minds.
They weren’t sure if Shen Yifeng was really absent.
The only reason that could keep him calm and prevent him from attacking Su Jingzhen and his companion was this.
If Shen Yifeng was hiding in the shadows and watching everything, wouldn’t that be the end of them?
After taking a deep breath, Han Ning looked at Su Jingzhen with a serious expression.
“Fellow Daoist Su should know that when the Divine Wind Eagle attacked earlier, it was simply because the beast was wild and untamed.
It wasn’t the intention of our Dongxuan Academy. If this has caused offense, Han is indeed willing to apologize to Fellow Daoist Su.”
Being overly cautious was considered cowardly by the young disciples of Dongxuan Clan like Cang Yun.
Therefore, when Han Ning said this, the expressions of Cang Yun and the others froze.
They never expected Han Ning to actually apologize directly to Su Jingzhen.
This was simply too unbelievable.
“Elder Han…”
Even the woman behind Han Ning, who exuded an extraordinary aura, frowned at him.
Her eyes were filled with confusion.
“I have the final say in this matter. You can go back and report to the head of the academy, but since I have made my decision, I will not change it.”
After saying this to the eight young disciples, Han Ning turned his gaze back to Su Jingzhen.
“For the previous incident, Han is willing to apologize to Fellow Daoist Su and offer compensation.
However, I don’t have anything of value with me at the moment.
If Fellow Daoist Su can come to Huangzhou Dongxuan Academy one day, Han promises that Fellow Daoist Su can choose an item from my academy’s treasure vault as compensation.”
His willingness to back down earlier was already puzzling.
But now, he was offering compensation and even allowing Su Jingzhen to choose a treasure from the academy’s treasure vault.
This was simply too humiliating!
However, the young disciples of Dongxuan Academy were reasonable and didn’t say anything.
Their cultivation levels were not high enough, and they couldn’t resist Han Ning’s decision.
However, as Han Ning had said, they would definitely report this to the academy chief when they returned.
They were extremely dissatisfied with Han Ning’s actions.
As the only holy place in Huangzhou, Dongxuan Academy held an incredibly high status in the region. Its overall strength was probably unmatched among the neighboring states.
They didn’t have to be arrogant, but they shouldn’t be submissive either.
However, for Su Jingzhen, Han Ning’s attitude was indeed beyond his expectations.
He felt like he was beating a cotton ball.
This attitude made it impossible for him to feel any hostility.
However, in a situation where he had the upper hand, Su Jingzhen, who was known as the Smiling Asura of the Devil’s Path, didn’t know what it meant to know when to stop.
In this cultivation world, his reputation was that of a demon cultivator.
How could he not be a bit arrogant?
He immediately continued his verbal attack, “Your words are easy to say, but they lack sincerity.”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere immediately became tense again.
Even Han Ning’s eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.
Han Ning was a prominent person in Huangzhou.
Su Jingzhen was clearly humiliating him.
However, Su Jingzhen didn’t care at all.
He continued to calmly look at the disciples of Dongxuan Academy.
Xuening clenched the ruler in her hand, her spiritual energy surging within her, her face filled with anxiety.
