Chapter 898: Chapter 899: The Power Left Behind
“I’m not insane!” Lin Qian clasped his hands behind his back, coldly glaring at the other party, “Today, I will surely slay you. I’ll give you some time to prepare your last words.”
Towards Yan Ruqian, Lin Qian felt a sudden rise of murderous intent that he couldn’t suppress.
This man cultivated a sinister cultivation technique and came to wager a duel to seize his woman.
If Ye Xin were truly taken by him, her fate would be tragic, reduced to nothing, with her essence drained, ultimately dying without a burial place.
When Yan Ruqian proposed such an idea, he already had the intent to kill, wanting Ye Xin dead.
Of course, I would try to stop it, which means he also wanted me dead.
In the Saint Institute, he certainly wouldn’t have a way to do anything to me, but what if a Saint Institute battle were initiated?
If I were to complete a mission outside and he secretly followed and attacked, what then?
Instead of that, why not kill him now, decisively, to set an example and show those with ill intentions.
When Lin Qian made his move that time, his soul energy had already been restrained, but even now, standing still, he exerted immense pressure.
Yan Ruqian stared at Lin Qian in front of him, and more and more followers began appearing around him, summoned from the Grotto Heaven Soul Device.
“No wonder you’re the one who created this miracle of the Huaxia Alliance. To have such strength at the First Level of the World Realm is remarkable, but it’s a pity you’ll die young.” With many followers by his side, Yan Ruqian seemed more confident, staring at Lin Qian with a mocking tone, “You think you’re an Emperor? When the Saint Institute’s people come, you won’t even know how you die, you understand?”
Lin Qian remained expressionless, silently looking at the other party as if watching a clown performing tricks.
Zhuge Ming stood behind Lin Qian, his expression unchanged, calm and composed.
He was well aware of the Emperor’s anger but also knew he shouldn’t intervene in this matter.
Only by letting the Emperor personally act could the anger in his heart be quelled.
“Lin Qian, what do you mean by this? The enmity between you and Yan Ruqian is your personal matter; don’t drag us into it.”
“Release the heaven and earth seal and let us leave.”
After Zhuge Ming sealed the heaven and earth, many caught in the encirclement called out, their expressions displeased.
Being trapped within the sealed heavens and earth certainly wasn’t pleasant.
And if it really came to a fight, what if they got caught in it? When those from the Saint Institute appeared to capture Lin Qian, with no turning back, what would they do if he turned against them with force?
Various factors had to be considered.
“Everyone, the Emperor is furious and will surely slay this scoundrel.” Zhuge Ming raised his book scroll, apologetically bowing to everyone, “If we release the seal of heaven and earth and let him escape, and the Emperor blames you, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
“Why not just wait on the side for a good show? What’s the harm in that?”
Zhuge Ming seemed to be speaking kindly, yet he spoke calmly, his expression unchanged. There wasn’t the slightest indication that he’d undo the seal of heaven and earth.
His actions clearly told everyone that unsealing the heaven and earth was impossible, so they might as well stay inside and wait quietly.
The words weren’t overbearing, but the actions were.
The group of people showed displeasured expressions on their faces, yet no one dared to act. Lin Qian was crazy enough to act privately within the Saint Institute, wanting to slay Yan Ruqian, but they weren’t insane enough to challenge the rules of the Saint Institute.
Seeing the disgruntled expressions of the crowd, Zhuge Ming chuckled inwardly, these people were only here to watch the fun.
That Yan Ruqian was overbearing and excessive, yet no one stood up to speak justice, instead they watched with glee.
Trapping them with the heaven and earth seal was just a slight punishment, nothing significant.
In front of the Enchanting Soul Forest, within this sealed world, it was extraordinarily quiet, almost no one spoke, just silently watching the situation unfold, curious what Lin Qian would do next.
Lin Qian remained poised, standing still, his icy eyes looking forward, his gaze passing through the multitude of followers from the Hundred Battle Border Country, landing on Yan Ruqian.
“Hmph, you’re not far from death, what are you glaring at?” Yan Ruqian sneered at Lin Qian.
Meanwhile, the mentors and deacons of the Saint Institute naturally knew about the situation here, quickly setting out, rushing toward the location of the incident.
Not long after, the crowd trapped in the sealed world also spotted several mentors and deacons flying over from afar, with the weakest among them being in the Creation Realm.
Even if Lin Qian was extremely gifted and had strong combat power, in front of them, he had no way to resist.
“Hahaha, Lin Qian, mentors and deacons of the Saint Institute have already come. You’ve violated the rules of the Saint Institute, according to which you should be directly executed. Furthermore, you’ve openly challenged the Saint Institute, an unforgivable crime with no chance for redemption.”
“Rest assured, after you’re dead, your empress, this prince will take good care of her, hahahaha.”
Looking at the mentors and deacons standing in mid-air, full of excitement, he laughed wildly, as if victory was in his grasp.
At the same time, among the onlookers, many started laughing too.
Previously, Lin Qian was so arrogant, claiming that even the Sea Spiral Holy Institute couldn’t handle his affairs, being overbearing.
And now?
The people from the Sea Spiral Holy Institute had arrived, surely doomed!
In mid-air, the mentors and deacons who had come also frowned as they looked down at the situation.
A deacon approached floating in the air. He had inquired about the incident from the students outside the sealed area and roughly understood the situation.
At this moment, they too frowned deeply.
Despite the sealed world created by Zhuge Ming being very small, not very large, its strength was formidable.
Moreover, this whole affair was because Yan Ruqian had gone too far. Privately, they naturally didn’t want to act against Lin Qian, but because of the rules of the Saint Institute, they had no choice, feeling conflicted.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
“That guy named Yan Ruqian, if he’s dead, so be it— no one is allowed to interfere. Anyone who dares interfere, I will personally execute, got it?”
Wei Qingqing’s voice echoed in the ears of all mentors and deacons in the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, and each of their faces turned dramatically pale, cold sweat pouring down.
What on earth was going on, what was Lin Qian’s relation to the dean that she would break the rules of the Saint Institute for him?
To know that these rules were set by the first dean, and if later deans dared to break them, they would face the attack of the power left by the first dean in the Saint Institute.
Once, this had happened, the entire Saint Institute was engulfed in thunder and fire, and that succeeding dean was reduced to ashes.
These mentors and deacons waited nervously for the force left by the first dean to erupt again.
