This sudden group of people carried an extraordinary presence, especially the middle-aged man leading them. The sound of his footsteps alone felt oppressive, leaving one wondering where these people came from.

No matter if they were from the Emperor Star Academy, the middle-aged man at the helm was undoubtedly a terrifying existence. A mere glance from him seemed capable of making one fall, and those behind him were similarly extraordinary.

"Stop!"

The authoritative voice resounded in everyone's minds once more. It was a command, not a request. He was ordering Xiao Tianyu to stop, indicating the formidable confidence of this middle-aged man.

However, at the very moment this middle-aged man arrived, Tuoba Lei's eyes revealed undisguised joy. It was clear that he recognized this person, and with his arrival, Tuoba Lei knew he was safe.

Even if he had to face punishment upon returning to the Emperor Star Academy, it was still a thousand or ten thousand times better than dying here, right?

Moreover, with the Emperor Star Academy interfering, who would dare to act recklessly?

"Elder, this person has killed two guards of the Emperor Star Academy and even intends to kill me. Please, Elder, execute him on the spot to uphold the academy's dignity!" Tuoba Lei's voice was imposing and resounding, shaking hearts.

"Elder?"

"A Elder from the Emperor Star Academy?"

"So this middle-aged man really is from the Emperor Star Academy, and an elder-level existence at that…"

"Who would've thought an elder from the Emperor Star Academy would personally descend?"

"It's rumored that the Emperor Star Academy has ten elders, each a formidable existence in the Celestial Realm. And today, to deal with Tianyu International, the academy dispatched an elder-level figure. This means Tianyu International might…"

"..."

At this moment, everyone in the hall was shocked by Tuoba Lei's words. An elder-level powerhouse from the Emperor Star Academy had arrived; how could Tianyu International possibly withstand the academy's wrath?

The situation had escalated beyond control. Tianyu International… was done for.

However, none of them noticed Xiao Tianyu's deep eyes remaining extraordinarily calm, without a hint of emotion. Even with the arrival of an elder-level powerhouse, he remained unmoved.

Indeed, this person was none other than Zhan Zhengyun, dispatched by the dean to handle the Tianyu International matter.

Of course, Zhan Zhengyun didn't forget the dean's instruction before his departure: to avoid conflict with Tianyu International unless absolutely necessary.

Thus, Zhan Zhengyun ignored Tuoba Lei, instead fixing his gaze on Xiao Tianyu, and spoke indifferently, "The Emperor Star Academy has always had an extraordinary relationship with Tianyu International, along with close commercial ties. Why did you kill members of our academy this time?"

This was a question, questioning Xiao Tianyu.

However, in everyone's eyes, he indeed had the qualification, as he was an elder-level figure of the Emperor Star Academy.

"Question me?" Xiao Tianyu spoke calmly.

Question me?

Huh?

These words left many in astonishment, a dialogue that left people speechless. Did he truly have no fear of the Emperor Star Academy?

Yet in the next instant, Xiao Tianyu added, "You are not qualified. Have your dean come to see me!"

"..." These words rendered everyone speechless. Having the dean of the Emperor Star Academy come to see him? Such audacity indeed.

Hey, hey~ Whoever you are, did you not feel your head was no longer on your shoulders when you uttered those words?

With just a sentence, you want the dean to come see you? We just want to ask if you're joking?

At this moment, who would have thought that when an elder-level figure from the Emperor Star Academy questioned Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu was even more arrogant than the elder. Did he truly think he was the dean's father?

One must know that the dean of the Emperor Star Academy is the most mysterious person in Fengzhou City. Other than a few high-ranking members of the academy, no one has seen him, yet Xiao Tianyu's words were enough to summon the dean.

"Presumptuous!" Finally, an Earth Level Realm expert behind Zhan Zhengyun shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? The dean isn't someone you can see just because you want to! Today, the Emperor Star Academy initially intended only minor punishment for Tianyu International because of their past support, but you even dared to insult the dean?"

For Xiao Tianyu to demand a meeting with the dean was an insult. Since when was the branch dean of Fengzhou City this arrogant?

However, Xiao Tianyu remained silent. Suddenly, with a swift motion of his hand, he reached out at lightning speed towards Tuoba Lei, who was shocked: "Elder, save me!"

Never did Tuoba Lei imagine that with the arrival of an elder, Xiao Tianyu would still dare to kill him, launching an unexpected attack without any warning.

In an instant, Tuoba Lei felt as if a terrifying suppressing force enveloped his entire being.

Thud~

Before Xiao Tianyu's hand even reached him, Tuoba Lei was already pressed to the ground by the overwhelming pressure contained within, pathetically humble. He couldn't believe that even with members of the Emperor Star Academy present, Xiao Tianyu dared to kill him.

"Audacious!"

The expert from the Earth Level Realm of the Emperor Star Academy bellowed, stepping forward, and a Palm Seal rushed toward Xiao Tianyu, intent on suppressing everything.

The Earth Level Realm experts from the Emperor Star Academy could not be compared to those from the four great families, for all practitioners in the academy cultivated Superior Techniques.

"Get lost!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, an intangible aura surged outward. With a thunderous boom, the Earth Level Realm expert's body was directly sent flying by Xiao Tianyu's aura, spewing blood wildly.

"Celestial Realm?"

Witnessing this scene, Zhan Zhengyun's expression turned to fear, clearly sensing that the aura which had just erupted from Xiao Tianyu was indeed of the Celestial Realm, as he himself was a Celestial level expert.

Indeed, apart from Zhan Zhengyun, others hadn't realized that the aura just released from Xiao Tianyu was of the Celestial Realm.

At this moment, Zhan Zhengyun's heart was anything but calm. The opponent was so young, barely in his twenties, yet he was a Celestial Realm expert. Such talent could not be found even in the main Imperial Capital Headquarters of the Emperor Star Academy, let alone the Fengzhou City Branch.

What was the origin of this young man?

Even Zhan Zhengyun felt that if he were to act, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

Might Tianyu International actually harbor hidden dragons and crouching tigers, possessing a strength to rival the Emperor Star Academy?

Others naturally did not know what Zhan Zhengyun was contemplating, for they had no idea that Xiao Tianyu had just exuded the aura of a Celestial Realm.

"No…"

At that moment, a voice of despair rang out. Everyone looked back to see Xiao Tianyu lift up Tuoba Lei's body with his large hand. With a crack, the bones in Tuoba Lei's body shattered. Despite being crippled, he didn't wish to die.

This scene caused the pupils of those nearby to constrict vehemently, as if unwilling to believe their eyes.

"Even with the arrival of an elder from the Emperor Star Academy, he still crippled Tuoba Lei?"

"How could he dare?"

"..."

Suddenly, everyone was completely dumbfounded. What did it matter if members of the Emperor Star Academy had arrived? Tuoba Lei was still not saved.

Moreover, eyes turned to Zhan Zhengyun, who was already emanating a formidable aura.
