Upon hearing this, many academy disciples felt a sense of fear. It was the dean; that voice just now was the dean's voice. Is the dean going to personally receive these powerful figures from the Ancient Martial Clan?

What qualifications do they have to warrant a personal meeting with the dean?

Normally in the academy, the dean is an extremely mysterious figure, rarely seen even by the students. Even if they have seen him, it was during the last visit to the Punishment Hall where they caught a glimpse of the dean's true form.

However, now the dean is personally going to meet the powerful figures of the major families. It seems the dean is really giving them face.

But it's understandable. The four families are, after all, the peak families of Fengzhou City. The dean would likely consider them to some extent.

"Please come!" The academy elder made a gesture of invitation, feeling a bit frustrated. He didn't expect the dean to personally meet them.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures of the four major families felt a surge of joy; as long as they met the dean, everything would be easy to discuss.

Then the clan leader of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Ba, spoke, "Thank you!"

With that, the group followed behind the academy elder, heading towards the reception hall of Emperor Star Academy.

The reception hall of Emperor Star Academy is specifically designed for receiving distinguished guests from the outside world and is rarely used in ordinary times. The four families now have the opportunity to enter the reception hall, which is quite a mark of prestige.

Soon, the group arrived below the reception hall, and as they looked up the myriad steps, they saw at the very top a splendid, luxurious hall appearing before their eyes.

Moreover, there were two stone lions sitting at the entrance, lifelike as if they were real, and there was a ten-thousand-year-old welcoming pine in front of the door, further enhancing the hall's grandeur and magnificence.

Even just a reception hall is not something those buildings of the four major families can compare to.

Emperor Star Academy, just being Emperor Star Academy, judging from this hall alone, it's not difficult to see the depth of Emperor Star Academy.

At this moment, the powerful figures of the four major families were also unable to remain calm in their hearts. Emperor Star Academy is indeed the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm, truly extraordinary in its aura, and if they could meet the mysterious dean today, it would be something to boast about once they were out.

Soon, led by the academy elder, the group entered the hall, and then the academy elder made a gesture, "Please have a seat!"

"Thank you!" The powerful figures all nodded and took their seats, and soon after, tea was served.

However, the main seat at the top of the hall was empty. That was the position of the host, and it was clear that the dean had not yet arrived. But the strong ones from the major families dared not ask questions, after all, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to see the dean of Emperor Star Academy, the most powerful.

Half an hour later.

Whoosh~

An extraordinary pressure descended, suppressing the breath of the powerful figures from the major families, as if the entire hall was enveloped by a majestic aura, making the strong ones from the major families startled—is the dean coming?

Indeed, two minutes later, they saw an elderly man in white appear at the entrance, his demeanor looked like an immortal, carrying a formidable aura with every step he took, making people feel like submitting to him. Beside him was a middle-aged man, whose aura was equally terrifying.

Yes, the sudden elder was precisely Mo Cang, the branch dean of Fengzhou City Emperor Star Academy.

As for the middle-aged man next to him, it was none other than Zhan Zhengyun, one of the eight veterans of Emperor Star Academy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

As Mo Cang entered the hall, the powerful figures from the major families quickly put down their teacups and stood up, showing a touch of respect.

"Junior greets Senior Mo Cang!" The powerful figures from the major families all saluted. These usually high-ranking clan leaders had to bow and bend before Mo Cang.

Click, click, click~

Mo Cang walked with steady steps, accompanied by Zhan Zhengyun, towards the main seat at the top of the hall, where they then sat down, casting their gaze towards the strong ones from the major families below, and then waved, signaling them to sit down.

After a long while, Mo Cang finally spoke lightly, "Speak, what brings you all to Emperor Star Academy?"

With that, Mo Cang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and fixed his gaze on the people below.

Hearing this, the people below looked at each other, then the clan leader of the Zhuge Clan, Zhuge Shan, stood up and said, "We have come this time to ask Emperor Star Academy to stand up for us!"

"Stand up for you?" Hearing this, Mo Cang raised an eyebrow, "In Fengzhou City, aren't you all the dominant ones? Is there something you cannot solve that requires me to stand up?"

Mo Cang was also quite surprised. These people were all people who dominated in Fengzhou City. Is there something they cannot solve? This indeed puzzled Mo Cang.

And only to see the clan leader of the Nangong Clan, Nangong Lingxuan, stand up and say, "Although we, the four families, have been stationed in Fengzhou City and have always lived in harmony without any incidents, and moreover dare not violate Emperor Star Academy's punishment, but..."

"But what?" Mo Cang asked.

"But recently Fengzhou City has been quite unsettled. A few days ago, the Duanmu Family was wiped out by a mysterious figure, and last night, the Tuoba Family was also bloodwashed. This matter has shaken Fengzhou City and is beyond our control!"

Hmm?

Hearing this, Zhan Zhengyun, beside Mo Cang, frowned, a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes but quickly disappeared, unnoticed by anyone. Were the families here to question them?

It was Zhan Zhengyun himself who led the team to wipe out the Tuoba Family. Now these people came to the academy, yet they bring up this matter. What is the meaning of this?

But Mo Cang remained expressionless and continued, "Your reason for coming here isn't just about this matter, is it?"

"Of course not!" Ouyang Ba stood up and cupped his fists towards Mo Cang, "Please, Senior Mo Cang, stand up for us!"

"Yes, Emperor Star Academy is the pinnacle of Fengzhou City, admired by millions. Now that Fengzhou City is facing such a disaster, we request Senior Mo Cang to lend a hand to exorcise the evil and uphold justice!"

"Senior Mo Cang, we have come today specifically to invite you to restore order in Fengzhou City!"

"..."

Soon, a series of voices resonated in the hall, making Zhan Zhengyun's face turn dark. Exorcise evil and uphold justice? Damn, I was the one who led the team to destroy the Tuoba Family, okay? These old bastards actually came here to talk about exorcising evil and upholding justice. Who are they referring to? Me? Or the executive chairman?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhengyun just wanted to speak, but saw Mo Cang say, "You came here just for this matter?"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Shan cupped his fists and said, "Since the incident at Tianyu International last time, it has caused great unrest in Fengzhou City. People of the Ancient Martial Realm are in panic. Additionally, that time, even Tuoba Lei, an inner sect disciple of Emperor Star Academy, died at Tianyu International. Although Emperor Star Academy showed mercy and didn't intervene, Tianyu International is too arrogant, first destroying the Duanmu Family and then slaying many descendants of Ancient Martial families at the Xiao Family's birthday banquet, resulting in the fall of many Earth Level Realm experts. Just yesterday, the Tuoba Family was bloodwashed again. All of this is the doing of Tianyu International. Now, with Elder Liu backing them, they have become even more wanton in taking lives. If Senior Mo Cang does not step in to stop them, I fear the Ancient Martial Realm in Fengzhou City will never find peace!"
