When everyone saw that the person blocking Aotian was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, they couldn't help but be taken aback. The students then began to whisper among themselves:
"Su Yuan, why is he helping Dao Lengtian?"
"Yeah, Su Yuan's strength is not simple, and his background is also impressive. If he supports Dao Lengtian, it will be difficult for Senior Aotian to restore the academy's honor!"
"This is infuriating! Just when we thought that arrogant guy was about to meet his end at our boss's hands, here comes Su Yuan!" Niu Geng angrily cursed.
Ying Tianrui sighed and said, "Now we can only wait and see how things unfold."
"Who are you?" Aotian glared at Su Yuan and asked in a deep voice.
Su Yuan smiled lightly, but his smile carried a chilling coldness. He then spoke up: "I am Su Yuan, the Vice Master of Heavenly Nether Gate!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian's expression changed dramatically. Clearly, he hadn't expected this person to have such a significant background.
Aotian was not unfamiliar with the Heavenly Nether Gate. It could be said to be a force on par with superpowers like Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect. In the southern part of Fengyun Nation, Heavenly Nether Gate was undoubtedly the ruler.
Moreover, Heavenly Nether Gate was known to be an extremely evil sect. Most of their cultivation methods involved absorbing human blood and flesh, making them cruel and ruthless, which was intolerable to the righteous path.
Therefore, the Heavenly Nether Gate has made many enemies, and many people wish to eliminate it as soon as possible. From what Aotian understands, the relationship between the Heavenly Nether Gate and the Azure Cloud Sect is not exactly hostile, but it is not good either.
However, it is quite strange that this self-proclaimed Vice Master of the Heavenly Nether Gate, Su Yuan, is actually protecting Dao Lengtian. Could it be that the Azure Cloud Sect has some sort of connection with such an evil force? Otherwise, why would Su Yuan risk offending Xuantian Academy to stop him?
"Ah, so it's Vice Master Su Yuan! May I ask why you are obstructing me from killing Dao Lengtian?" Aotian boldly questioned after learning Su Yuan's identity, leaving many people astonished.
It should be noted that Su Yuan's identity is not simple; does Aotian not fear offending the Heavenly Nether Gate by speaking this way?
Indeed, upon hearing Aotian's words, a cold glint flashed in Su Yuan's eyes, and then he calmly replied:
"I owe Vice Master Dao Lengtian a favor; naturally, I must repay it now. Are you satisfied with this reason?"
Aotian couldn't help but feel furious. If you're going to make excuses, at least make them reasonable! Repaying a favor? You're kidding!
For an evil force like the Heavenly Nether Gate, favors are meaningless. Their cultivation methods are not only cruel and vicious but also devoid of any compassion or loyalty. Expecting them to repay a favor is as unlikely as believing that tomorrow's sun will rise in the west.
It can be said that Aotian has no good feelings towards Su Yuan or the Heavenly Nether Gate at all.
First, the Heavenly Nether Gate is extremely evil and ruthless, intolerable by the righteous path. Second, Su Yuan had clearly intended to take his life with his earlier attack. How could Aotian possibly have any good feelings towards such a person?
Thus, Aotian's words became increasingly impolite. He could only be heard sneering:
"Repaying favors? What nonsense! I think only a worthless scoundrel like you would say such ridiculous things!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar. After all, Aotian's words were a direct slap in Su Yuan's face!
Sure enough, Su Yuan's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and he roared in anger:
"Kid, are you looking for death?!"
Aotian let out a cold laugh and then said heavily:
"Today, I will definitely kill Dao Lengtian! Whoever stands in my way will die!"
As soon as Aotian finished speaking, Dao Lengtian's expression changed dramatically, and the slight relief he had felt was instantly replaced by anxiety.
It was because Aotian's words were laced with murderous intent; anyone who heard that unwavering determination would feel uneasy.
"You want to kill Dao Lengtian? Then I want to see how you plan to slay him right under my nose today!"
Su Yuan stepped forward forcefully, his Mystical Energy erupting like a volcano, shaking the entire venue.
A strong smell of blood emanated from Su Yuan's Mystical Energy, making people feel nauseous just from the scent.
Aotian couldn't help but change color, not because the smell was unpleasant, but because this guy was actually refining Blood Attribute Mystical Energy!
The Blood Attribute's Mystical Energy is extremely strange and rare, and with Su Yuan's considerable strength, this would be very unfavorable for Aotian in a fight.
At that moment, Snow Qincheng, Niu Geng, and others from the Starry Radiance Society charged onto the Dueling Platform. They firmly stood behind Aotian, their eyes coldly fixed on Su Yuan on the platform.
"Su Yuan, you came to our Xuantian Academy, and we naturally treat you as a guest with respect. However, if you try to overshadow us, don't blame us for leaving you forever in Xuantian Academy!" Snow Qincheng shouted angrily at Su Yuan.
As if to confirm Snow Qincheng's words, the members of the Starry Radiance Society stepped forward aggressively, their Mystical Energy soaring into the sky, confronting Su Yuan.
The others in the Duel Arena exchanged glances, clearly not expecting that the battle between Aotian and Dao Lengtian would escalate to this extent.
At the same time, everyone was secretly shocked by the number of people gathered around Aotian.
Looking at the hundreds of people behind Aotian, each one was a Student from the Inner Academy. Many of them were even ranked on the Inner Courtyard Rankings.
Especially Niu Geng, Snow Qincheng, He Wu, He Dan, and others; they were among the elite of the Inner Courtyard Rankings. Each of them was a key focus of training for the academy.
Moreover, it was Snow Qincheng—the Ice Snow Sword Immortal—who had just spoken about overshadowing others.
Who is Snow Qincheng? She is the only daughter of the dean, and her words largely represent the dean's stance.
Those who had previously opposed Aotian were now drenched in cold sweat. Just look at their lineup; is this something you can provoke?
The Student, who has been in the academy for less than a year, has attracted countless talented individuals with their potential and charisma.
In times of crisis, these talented individuals also stood firmly with Aotian without hesitation.
At the same time, everyone could sense that it would be very difficult for Su Yuan to stop Aotian from killing Dao Lengtian.
Su Yuan clearly realized the difficulty of the situation and couldn't help but furrow their brow. They then turned to the Grand Elder and said:
"Grand Elder, are all the Students raised by your academy so lacking in hospitality?"
Everyone's gaze turned to the Grand Elder, as it was evident that only he could suppress the current situation.
"Hehe, our Students certainly understand hospitality. But just as Xue Qingcheng said, we will not be polite to those who try to overshadow others!"
The Grand Elder smiled, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Clearly, the Grand Elder was already displeased with Su Yuan's interference...
