Leng Yanran immediately chased after the two sub-academy deans to Qingtian Hall.
Upon leaving the academy gates, they saw two black-robed figures suspended in the air.
"Marquis Level powerhouses!"
The faces of the two sub-academy deans both changed.
Leng Yanran's expression became even more solemn.
Although she couldn't gauge the cultivation level of the two individuals before her,
She could feel an evil and terrifying presence emanating from them.
The strength of these two was definitely above her own.
Students on the plaza halfway up the mountain were also drawn by the commotion, looking up at the two black-robed figures in the sky.
Confusion and bewilderment spilled from their eyes.
"May I know what business brings you two to Qinglin Academy?" Leng Yanran inquired.
The two figures before her looked quite eerie.
One was half-human, half-snake.
The other was as thin as a dried tree.
If possible, it was best not to offend them unless absolutely necessary.
"Haha, nothing much, I've just heard that the Dean of Qinglin Academy is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, with extraordinary cultivation, and possesses the legendary Xuanyin Physique. Seeing you today proves you truly are exceptional," laughed the half-human, half-snake youth.
The wind blew off his black robe's hood, revealing his true face.
His demonic vertical pupils sent a chill down everyone's spine.
The students below all changed their countenance.
Was this youth human or demon?
Moreover, standing in mid-air, he must be at least a Marquis Level powerhouse.
Leng Yanran's face also turned cold.
The youth's frivolous words were extremely repugnant to her.
"What exactly do you want?" Leng Yanran asked coldly.
"Quite simple, come with me for Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, be my cauldron, or else I'll kill everyone in your academy," the youth said with a lecherous smile.
The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar, their eyes blazing with intense anger.
Leng Yanran was also overwhelmingly furious.
This half-human, half-demon youth dared to say such things in front of so many people.
It was an immense humiliation.
"What's the matter? You don't agree? I was born with the ability to distinguish whether a woman is untouched or not, and your scent clearly indicates you're not, having been through such things before, so why be afraid of people talking?" sneered the youth.
His gaze roamed over Leng Yanran's figure, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
It had to be said, Leng Yanran's figure was nearly perfect.
A woman like her as a cauldron would likely never grow tiring for a lifetime.
"Shut your mouth! Don't spout nonsense!" Leng Yanran shouted angrily.
This was her deepest secret, now callously exposed to the public.
How could she not be outraged?
"Hmph, afraid I'll speak out, shall I guess who it was? Was it Xu Nian?" said the sinister youth with a smile.
"Shut up!" Leng Yanran, enraged, swung her Ice Frost Glaze Sword at the sinister youth.
With one strike, the Sword Radiance cascaded like an inverted galaxy.
Sword Qi spread in all directions.
Seeing this Sword Radiance, awe appeared in the eyes of the students below.
Was this their Dean's strength?
Such powerful Sword Qi!
As for the sinister youth's words, they naturally didn't believe them.
The corners of the sinister youth's mouth curled into a sneer as he watched the approaching Sword Radiance.
A trace of cold light flashed in his demonic purple vertical pupils.
A green snake tail swept across the sky, scattering the Sword Qi effortlessly.
And there was not a single scratch on its tail?
The people around were stunned.
"The half-human, half-snake monster actually managed to shatter the Sword Qi with its snake tail.
Just how tough was its snake tail?
Leng Yanran's pretty face also showed shock, a deep sense of gravity surging from within her heart.
The bizarre young monster before her was far too strong.
She herself was of the Seven-star War King Level in Cultivation.
Moreover, she had stepped into the realm of utilizing the forces of Heaven and Earth Understanding.
Her Ice Frost Glaze Sword in hand additionally carried special effects.
This sword strike she unleashed was one that even an average Seven-star War King would find hard to withstand.
But now, this strange young man had not only blocked it but did so with such effortless grace.
Beside him stood an elder who had been silent from the beginning to the end.
"Your Sword Qi is useless against me. My Scale Armor can be compared to exotic metals and has been specially strengthened, so no matter how you attack, you cannot injure me," the eccentric youth said with a smile.
"Scale Armor comparable to exotic metals? How is that possible?"
The deans of the two major branches of the Academy were both wide-eyed.
They were merely at the Battle General Level.
They couldn't participate in such a fight at all.
They could only watch helplessly as Leng Yanran faced the situation alone.
Below, within the crowd, stood two young men.
They were both of Battle General Level Cultivation.
Indeed, they were none other than Dugu Jingcheng and Lin Xifeng.
After the attack in the Commandery City,
They had returned to Qinglin Academy.
They were serving as lecturing Elders at the Academy.
Now, the scene unfolding before them brought back memories of the Fang Family's slaughter at the Governor Mansion.
Yet, they could only stand in the distance, powerless to do anything.
Leng Yanran, gripping her Ice Frost Glaze Sword, had eyes as cold as frost.
"You are no match for me. I'd advise you to save your energy. Just come with me obediently, and I won't mistreat you; otherwise, I'll have to take you by force," the eerie youth said with a smile.
His gaze was thick with mockery and amusement.
As if he was a green specter scrutinizing his prey.
"Don't even think about it. Even if I die today, I absolutely will not go with you," Leng Yanran said with an icy voice, full of staunch determination.
"Is that so? Do you want me to kill all of these students of yours?"
The peculiar youth let out a cold chuckle, casually emitting a beam of green light that blasted towards the halfway-point plaza.
A deep crater was instantly created in the plaza.
The students had no time to react.
They were affected by the terrifying green light and suffered heavy injuries.
Fortunately, the young man was only issuing a minor punishment and didn't truly wish to kill.
Otherwise, the injury and death toll of the students would've been substantial.
Leng Yanran was even more filled with killing intent, as the youth dared to threaten her with the lives of her students.
"You are despicable and shameless!" Leng Yanran shouted angrily.
"Ha ha, I have always been this despicable and shameless, as long as it serves my purpose, I don't care what means I use," the youth laughed heartily.
As if exceedingly pleased with his prey's expression.
"Enough talk, just suppress her Cultivation and take her away, then release the news to notify that Xu Nian," finally spoke the elder who had been silent until now,
His voice still hoarse and aged.
All around, everyone was startled; these people came specifically for Xu Nian.
They intended to abduct Leng Yanran to lure Xu Nian out.
Leng Yanran's eyebrows also furrowed tightly.
She hadn't expected that their purpose was to leverage her.
This made it even more imperative that she couldn't allow herself to be taken by them.
It would not only harm her but would also lead to Xu Nian's harm.
Since they were seeking Xu Nian, naturally, they would have a way to contend with him.
"You heard me, come with us obediently. As long as you cooperate with me, I assure you that you won't suffer a scratch," the eerie youth slowly took a step forward, his aura radiating outward.
His Cultivation was abruptly revealed; he was at the Peak of Battle King Level, just one step away from the Semi-Saint Realm.
