As soon as Chen Li's voice fell, an invisible wave spread from within him, and a transparent barrier instantly enveloped everyone in the Imperial Academy.
Leng Yue, who had been exuding pressure, felt as if he had slammed into an invisible wall, and his aura dissipated without a trace.
The atmosphere was tense, thick with the scent of gunpowder, as if it could explode at any moment.
Coughing violently after regaining some strength, Lin Xuan grabbed Chen Li's arm and urged in a low voice, "Chen Li, don't be impulsive! You're no match for them; we should leave quickly!"
With that, he tried to pull Chen Li away from this troublesome place. His injuries had not yet healed, and staying here could only worsen their situation. After all, the people from the Holy Spirit Palace harbored ill intentions toward them, especially towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue. Chen Ming held even greater hostility towards them; the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would become.
Seeing this, Chen Ming smirked cruelly and signaled to a nearby disciple. The disciple understood immediately and stepped forward to block their path, speaking arrogantly, "Want to leave? Sure! First kneel and apologize to Elder Leng Yue and Senior Brother Chen, then cripple your own cultivation. Only then will I let you go!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Zhang Long shouted furiously, pointing at the disciple's nose. "Who do you think you are to demand we kneel and apologize? Take a good look in the mirror at your own worth!"
"Exactly! You should know your place before trying to act tough in front of us!" Chen Bingyan added defiantly.
Chen Li stopped the two from continuing their tirade and turned to Lin Xuan with a helpless gesture. "Teacher Lin Xuan, you see this, right? We didn't provoke them; they're just bullying us!"
With that, his gaze turned cold as he raised his hand and slapped it downwards.
Smack!
A palm made of condensed spiritual energy appeared out of thin air, roughly the size of a cutting board, and struck the disciple squarely on the face.
"Ouch!" The disciple screamed as he flew backward like a kite with a severed string, crashing to the ground over ten meters away, blood spewing from his mouth as he struggled to get up.
"Oh dear! My bad! That was an accident!" Chen Li said with a smile, his tone laced with mockery.
The atmosphere froze instantly, becoming even colder.
All eyes in the Imperial Academy were fixed on Chen Li, their expressions momentarily stunned.
This was incredibly satisfying!
Their seemingly harmless Junior Brother actually dared to think big and act boldly!
Unconsciously, many students shifted their positions to protect Chen Li and Shen Qingyue at the center.
In contrast to the people from the Imperial Academy, those from Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect looked on in astonishment and admiration. Many gazes sparkled with appreciation!
"Little guy, you're really brave!"
Only the people from the Holy Spirit Palace wore expressions of pride and amusement.
Elder Leng Yue's face turned furious, a powerful aura erupting from her body like a whirlwind, sweeping toward Chen Li.
"Little beasts, you seek death!"
"Hmph, Leng Yue, as an elder, you actually resort to bullying the weak! How disgraceful! If you dare to strike again, I, Lin Xuan, will risk my life to drag you down to hell with me!" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice. With a wave of his hand, a surge of spiritual energy formed a golden shield in front of Chen Li, blocking Leng Yue's attack.
Boom!
The golden shield trembled violently before shattering into countless specks of golden light that scattered into the air.
Everyone held their breath and focused on Chen Li.
However, the anticipated fear did not appear; Chen Li stood firmly in place, not even a hair out of place. His face bore an unexpected calmness for his age, as if Elder Leng Yue's attack had no effect on him at all.
In fact, he wore a hint of a playful smile, as if watching a poor performance.
Seeing this, Elder Leng Yue's expression turned pale with rage.
Yet she did not continue her assault.
Lin Xuan's earlier threat was clear to her. If she dared to act again under the guise of her status, Lin Xuan would likely self-destruct just to take her down with him. While she was not afraid of an injured mentor, she feared those who had nothing to lose!
At that moment, Shen Qingyue's crisp voice rang out lightly, laced with mockery and sarcasm: "Is this the strength of the Holy Spirit Palace elders? It turns out to be just flashy moves that are useless!"
Chen Li chimed in as well. "Who would have thought that the esteemed Holy Spirit Palace is merely a trash sect that bullies the weak and relies on its strength!"
A profound silence enveloped the surroundings; one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned by Chen Li's bold provocation. Even the Imperial Academy students forgot their fear, staring wide-eyed at the brother and sister duo who were openly humiliating an elder from the Holy Spirit Palace.
Had these siblings lost their minds? How dare they publicly insult an elder from the Holy Spirit Palace! Were they not satisfied with being targeted just moments ago?
"Brat! Keep talking nonsense, and I'll kill you!" Leng Yue shouted in anger.
Chen Li rolled his eyes, unfazed by her threats, and continued to poke at their hearts. "As if you all would be at ease if I didn’t say anything. You’re targeting my master and the senior brothers and sisters so fiercely, trying to force us into submission. Are you planning to unify the Four Major Sects and make everyone bow down to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the previously neutral Heavenly Dao Sect's Cloud Sword Elder and Golden Sun Sect's Fiery Sun Elder changed slightly.
Although Chen Li's words were harsh, they struck at their inner concerns. The reason they had not interfered with the Holy Spirit Palace's assault on the Imperial Academy was largely due to Chen Ming's promise of generous rewards. After all, ancient relics passed down could elevate their combat power by an entire level.
However, now they had to reassess the ambitions of the Holy Spirit Palace. If they allowed the Holy Spirit Palace to swallow the Imperial Academy, would they be the next target?
Realizing this, both Cloud Sword Elder and Blazing Sun Elder instinctively took a step back, distancing themselves from the people of the Holy Spirit Palace. They each retrieved two radiant Liuguang swords from their storage rings and returned them to Leng Yue.
"Elder Leng Yue, what you are doing is indeed unbecoming of your status," Cloud Sword Elder said lightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Yes, how can you of the Holy Spirit Palace disregard our camaraderie like this and humiliate us?" Blazing Sun Elder echoed.
Elder Leng Yue trembled with rage. She never expected that not only had she failed to harm Chen Li in any way, but she had also jeopardized her efforts to win over the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect.
What was supposed to be a day for annihilating the people of the Imperial Academy now seemed utterly impossible. All her plans had gone awry!
"Damn it!" Elder Leng Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Since our elders cannot intervene to teach you a lesson, let’s follow the rules passed down by our ancestors—let's fight to the death!"
