Marquis Yun arrived in a fury, but Elder Dean Han's unyielding stance made his position perfectly clear.
Celestial River Academy intended to shelter Ling Fei!
"Elder Han, your academy's student, Ling Fei, has committed monstrous crimes. In the Xiling Ruins, he killed the Dongyang Crown Prince, as well as your own students Liu Ming, Liu Yuan... and other geniuses. All of them were prodigies of our Empire, the very source of its hope! The loss of even one is a tragedy, yet Ling Fei killed hundreds. His crimes are too numerous to recount, and anyone would be justified in executing him. This Marquis was personally enfeoffed by His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, and thus I have the right to apprehend this Ling Fei."
Marquis Yun's gaze turned cold as he spoke without a hint of courtesy.
"Therefore, I ask that your esteemed academy hand over Ling Fei, lest you be charged with harboring a criminal in the future." His tone was ice-cold.
His final words were laced with a clear threat.
