Seeing this scene, Tang Chuyi furrowed his brows and said, “Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, what do you mean?”
Before Tang Chuyi ascended to the Tian Gang realm, he was one of the top ten elders in the Inner Court. Now that he had ascended to the Tian Gang realm and become an elder of the Heavenly Court, and with his role as the chief examiner in this Inner Court disciple assessment trial, his authority was naturally the highest.
However, at this moment, Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, and the others who had just been with him in exterminating the warriors of the Tianji Mansion were now… unwilling to continue!
Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, Liu Jing, Shang Wanjun, and Xiao Shangyu—these five top elders from the five great families, true superiors at the peak of the Yuanfu realm—exchanged glances with each other. Eventually, Chu Mingjie stepped forward.
“Elder Tang!”
Chu Mingjie spoke calmly, “Today, the evil deeds of the Tianji Mansion have been discovered by us. We from the five great families are not afraid to exterminate these people from the Tianji Mansion!”
“However, at the moment…”
Chu Mingjie’s gaze shifted to Ye Wushuang, then back to Tang Chuyi, still speaking calmly, “This child has killed many of our young talents from the five great families. Today, not only does the Tianji Mansion want to kill him, but we from the five great families cannot let him live either!”
“Chu Mingjie!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuyi could no longer fail to understand. The people from the Tianji Mansion wanted to kill Ye Wushuang. The people from the five great families, harboring resentment over the many they had lost to Ye Wushuang in recent times, saw this as an opportunity to eliminate him.
“Elder Tang!”
Chu Mingjie declared firmly, “It is true that you are the chief examiner for this assessment, but we never said we would not eliminate these people from the Tianji Mansion. We just… want to wait!”
Now, why should they interfere when the people from the Tianji Mansion wanted to kill Ye Wushuang? Even if the people from the Tianji Mansion did not intend to kill Ye Wushuang, they wanted to take the opportunity to strike him down here as well.
From Chu Haoyu, Qin Cangsheng, and Shang Mingjie, to Chu Yuntian, Chu Yunze, and Qin Shuo—these were all geniuses at the Ningmai realm from the five great families, the hopes for the future of their families. With so many dead and Ye Wushuang still alive, it was as if he was slapping the faces of the five great families in front of everyone in the Qingyun Empire, not just once, but repeatedly.
Now was the time for Ye Wushuang to meet his end!
Moreover, who knew how many treasures Ye Wushuang had obtained, taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into this place? And those members of the Ye clan… they were not all dead!
Although the destruction of the Ye clan was primarily due to the attacks from the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect, with the five great families only providing support, if these people survived and another Ye Wentian emerged to lead the Ye clan to glory, would that not spell disaster for the five great families?
Not to mention the emergence of another hero like Ye Wentian, even if Ye Yunzhe survived… he would be a nightmare for the five great families!
So now, only a fool would stop the warriors of the Tianji Mansion!
Tang Chuyi shouted, “Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, Liu Jing, Shang Wanjun, Xiao Shangyu, you five are not only from the five great families, but also elders of the Inner Court of Qingyun Academy. I am now an elder of the Heavenly Court. If you do not obey my orders, you are violating the academy’s rules, and I will definitely…”
“Elder Tang!”
At this moment, Elder Liu Jing interrupted Tang Chuyi’s words and said solemnly again, “We are not disobeying your orders.”
“You said to exterminate the warriors of the Tianji Mansion, and we will do so, but… after Ye Wushuang is dead!”
Seeing that the warriors of Qingyun Academy were now in conflict with each other, Li Cun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. This was good!
As long as they could delay, when Elder Wang arrived, no one would survive!
One by one, the warriors of the Tianji Mansion gradually approached Ye Wushuang and his group.
Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, and Wang Kun had pale faces, unsure of what to do.
Ye Ming, Ye Yun, Ye Bin, and the other members of the Ye clan were all feeling utterly hopeless.
They had not yet escaped the clutches of danger, only to face a life-and-death crisis again.
Clearly, after five hundred years, too many people did not want the Ye clan to survive.
“Very well, very well, very well!” Tang Chuyi was so angry that he was fuming and pointing at Chu Mingjie and the others, as well as the dozens of academy disciples behind them, and shouted, “I will remember this. When we return to the academy, just you wait!”
However, hearing Tang Chuyi’s threat, Chu Mingjie, Liu Jing, and the others were not afraid at all.
Waiting for them back at the academy?
Among the dozen or so most powerful elders in the academy, several were the elders of their five great families. Why should they be afraid?
“Elder Tang!”
At that moment, a weak voice rang out, yet it was firm and resounding.
