Gu Yi's words shocked everyone, but the old dean remained calm and unmoved, as if he had known all along.
"Bastard, you traitor! So it was you who killed my second brother. Go to hell!"
Suddenly, a flying rainbow shot straight toward Gu Yi. It was a golden arrow, moving at incredible speed, almost as soon as it was released, it reached Gu Yi's face.
"Clang"
Guo Ran was well prepared. With a single slash, the golden arrow was shattered by Guo Ran's slash.
"Has he been bribed too?" Guo Ran asked.
"Yes."
Seeing Guo Ran's question, Gu Yi quickly agreed, because only when answering questions would the Soul Refining Fire subside.
The attacker failed in one strike, suddenly grabbed an old man, holding a weapon against the old man's head, and shouted sternly:
"I am innocent! It was clearly Gu Yi who slandered me. Don't force me... He
kept claiming his innocence, but his actions— All of this proves that he is also a spy.
For a moment, everyone in the arena became tense, each summoning their battle armor and standing ready for battle.
At this moment, Long Chen also put away his flames. He was too lazy to ask. Judging by the old dean's expression, Long Chen knew that he had known all along; everything was under control.
Just as he said before, he had already laid all the roads for Guo Ran, just waiting for him to erupt. If he followed his path, Guo Ran would be the hero who turned the tide. However, Long Chen's arrival ruined the old dean's plan. Indeed, wise people have terrifying endurance.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the powerful figure holding the old man began to loosen his armor, then realized he couldn't move. His eyes were filled with terror:
"This... What's going on? At
that moment, the usually calm old dean finally stood up, looked at the man, and said,
"Yu Qingquan, 197 years ago, you encountered a woman who was captivated by her beauty and willingly became her captive.
Later, she confesses her true identity to you. She is a descendant of the Luo family, named Luo Min. The Luo family is about to accomplish something earth-shattering.
At that time, you were very scared, knowing that her approach was a conspiracy. But in the end, you couldn't resist her temptation. The Luo family's promise to you made your heart race, and then you became a pawn planted by the Luo family in my Tianlong Divine Armor Academy.
It was only in the third year after you became a pawn that you realized it wasn't just you—even three elders in the council had sided with the Luo family. Am I right? The
man named Yu Qingquan was utterly shocked. This matter was an absolute secret. Yu Qingquan himself couldn't remember the exact date, but Xue Yifan spoke with absolute accuracy.
"You, Yu Qingquan, I treated you like a brother, yet you betray them. Tell me, doesn't your conscience hurt?" A late-stage Realm King roared.
"Thud"
Yu Qingquan seemed to age decades in an instant, kneeling on the ground. He knew he was done for, utterly hopeless.
"Who's the spy? Step forward yourselves. Don't call out names one by one, and don't cling to luck thinking about getting away with it. I'll only give you one chance. Whether you seize it or not depends on yourselves." Xue Yifan looked at everyone and said.
"Enough, enough. Youth warns against fighting, middle-aged warns against lust, old age warns against greed. The ancients did not deceive me. I originally wanted my family's name to be remembered in history, but now it is to be infamous for eternity. Haha, truly a disgrace to our ancestors, truly a shame to our ancestors!"
A council elder chuckled, his face full of sorrow, then suddenly slapped his crown with one hand and took his own life.
His body lay on the ground, a gentle breeze blew by, dust flying, bringing a sense of sorrow to the world.
Many people lowered their heads and slowly walked out. Seeing the crowd, everyone was stunned—there were actually hundreds of them.
They never dreamed that the mighty Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, such a glorious force, had already been infiltrated to such a degree.
Moreover, these people either possess certain strength or hold important positions. Perhaps only such people are truly valuable to the Luo family.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a total of 347 people had walked out. Seeing so many spies lurking beside them, the experts of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy felt a chill run down their spines.
Tu Hu, Xie Qianqian, and the others all opened their mouths in astonishment. They could hardly believe that among these people, there were actually a few elders they knew and respected. Now, seeing them step forward, they felt as if they were trapped in a nightmare.
"Is there no one left? I'll give you one more incense stick's time—this is your last chance. Xue Yifan looked at the crowd and said calmly. After speaking, he closed his eyes.
However, no one stepped forward further. Time ticked by, and among the billionaires in the arena, no one made a sound—only tense heartbeats and gasps. Clearly, everyone was extremely tense.
"So the dean is so formidable—everything is under control." Guo Ran stood beside Long Chen, his face full of admiration.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Xue Yifan slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "
Life is your own. I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me."
Xue Yifan slowly formed hand seals with one hand. Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried out in alarm. Everyone here was wearing battle armor, and some of their armor rapidly contracted, squeezing everyone inside into a lump of iron no bigger than a human head.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, people's hearts raced wildly. More than a dozen armors actually self-destructed. The situation was terrifying, so shocking that everyone was dumbfounded.
Xue Yifan shook his head and said, "At a time like this, if you don't think of repentance and still try to get by, it shows you are blinded by greed and beyond saving."
Every person here, every meeting with members of the Luo family, even the transactions and conversations between you, I know about it.
When you're old, you may not care about other things, but when it comes to certain information, you still have to keep control; otherwise, it's dereliction of duty. Xue
Yifan's words reached everyone's ears. At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate this dean, who had always been gentle and seemed indifferent to everything. Only now did they realize just how terrifying the dean truly was.
"You managed to get out, congratulations! You saved your own lives. Guards, escort them away and hand them over to the Discipline Hall for judgment."
As Xue Yifan finished speaking, dozens of people appeared and took them all away. To everyone's shock, they were all late-stage Realm King experts, and no one knew them. For a moment, people grew even more in awe of the dean's unfathomable depths.
"From today onward, Dean Guo Ran will take full charge of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. I hereby officially announce that the academy has entered a state of war. No one is allowed to question Dean Guo Ran's decisions, or else he will face the harshest punishment."
After Xue Yifan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving countless powerful figures behind, staring at Guo Ran in shock. The Tianlong Divine Armor Academy had truly changed the worldThat's it.
