The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 172: Confrontation in the Royal Capital



Lincoln was none other than the Disciplined Student Leader in charge of the Royal Academy's Disciplinary Committee. Currently, he and ten other people who were members of the committee were strolling around the Royal Capital. However, his heart was now filled with worry.


He was naturally very clear about this period of chaos within the Royal Capital. His actions back then, crippling the cultivation of the students from the Star Emperor Academy, were forced upon him by the upper echelons in the Royal Academy. In reality, he did not want to do so and did not want to be pulled into the storm. However, in the face of the orders he received, he was unlikely to oppose it.


Hence, at this moment, his heart was filled with worry. He was worried about the retaliation that Emperor Star Academy was going to take. He was already planning to request a transfer from his superiors to see if it was possible for him to temporarily hide from the storm of conflict erupting.


Sssst ~ Suddenly, an extremely sharp Qi wave gushed out, causing Lincoln's disciples to contract. After which he saw many arrows falling from the sky, shining with resplendent Astral Light, providing evidence of the fact that these arrows were all manifested from Astral Energy.


Lincoln immediately released his Astral Souls when the aura of the level 8 Arterial Circulation Base appeared. He sent out numerous palm strikes targeting the arrows that fell from the sky, wanting to destroy all the arrows. However, it was as if the arrows had their own eyes. They completely shifted away from their trajectory, dodging the attacks of his palms and penetrating the other ordinary members of the Royal Academy's Disciplinary Committee.


A relentless piercing sound rang out. The arrows shot through their throats, drawing fresh blood as Lincoln's emotions instantly fell to the bottom of the abyss.


He had not expected that revenge would come so quickly.


A moment later, a sharp sword sliced through Lincoln's neck. His body slumped to the ground, as his eyes were closed in eternal rest. The team of cultivators from the Royal Academy were all dead, and the blood flowing from their throats dyed the entire ground.


Moments later, when the citizens realized the death of the cultivators wearing armor, their hearts could not help but pound wildly. Is the storm finally here?


Ji Qing was one of the Elders in charge of the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Academy. His cultivation base was at the 3rd level of Yuanfu, and he possessed outstanding combat prowess. At this moment, his brows were tightly knitted.


Currently, the entire Royal Academy was in a tense state. Everyone knew that their war with the Star Emperor Academy was imminent and would break out at any moment. Not only that, this dispute would be at an unprecedented level since the upper echelons of the Royal Academy wanted to completely eradicate the existence of Emperor Star Academy.


"Older Ji." A student in the academy bowed as Ji Qing passed by, which Ji Qing simply waved casually as she was currently deep in thought.


"Older Ji." The other students greeted.


"M." Mmm." Ji Qing nonchalantly waved his regards. As he continued walking forward, at this moment, a strong sense of danger invaded his senses.


'The 'Student' who bowed to him instantly closed the distance between them. And due to his proximity, as well as the fact that Ji Qing never expected that there was anyone who dared to ambush him in the surroundings of the Royal Academy, Ji Qing was simply unable to react in time.


His body glowed with a terrifying Astral Light when the armor made of Astral Energy materialized. He only had time to focus all of his strength on defense.


Puchis! The sharp edge of the terrifying black sword pierced through his armor, right into his heart. After which, the attacker twisted the sword violently and transmitted his Astral Energy into it, causing Ji Qing's heart to burn. Astonished, Ji Qing could only stare in shock at the cold and heartless eyes of his assailant, akin to a god of death.


Even if Ji Qing could not react in time, with his cultivation base at the 3rd level of Yuanfu, other than his outstanding combat prowess, there was no way he would be easily killed. To be able to do this clearly shows that there is only one reason – his attacking power is many times stronger when compared to his own reasons.


The commotion caused them from afar to avert their gaze, only to see Ji Qing's body slowly slump to the ground. Upon seeing this, the hearts of the crowd trembled violently, as panic was reflected on their faces. At this moment, the unknown figure who was the attacker had already disappeared from the view of the crowd.


"Older Ji Qing was killed." A roar rang out, causing the originally nervous atmosphere to be ignited again. A moment later, several silhouettes appeared next to Ji Qing's body.


"Key of the Royal Academy!" Someone shouted furiously.


"just free. Since the other party could easily infiltrate here and kill Ji Qing in an instant, he would definitely have a way to escape safely, ”whispered someone, causing the crowd to become silent.


Ji Qing was none other than the Disciplined Elder who crippled the student cultivation base of the Star Emperor Academy. It was clear who was behind Ji Qing's murder.


The Star Emperor Academy did not launch their war drums and raise their war flags; instead, they instantly responded with the easiest method. If the Royal Academy wanted to continue playing their little tricks in the dark, the Star Emperor Academy would be most willing to comply.


Tooth by tooth, blood for blood.


As the news of Lincoln and Ji Qing spread outside, the already tight tension could explode at any moment.


Finally, on a clear morning, some experts boarded the demonic beasts as they flew out of the Royal Academy. Under them, there were also many cultivators, all moving towards the direction of the Star Emperor Academy.


Emperor Star Academy received the news quickly. They naturally monitored the movements and actions of the Royal Academy very closely.


The moment they received the news, those belonging to the Star Emperor Academy also departed.


At the same time, many experts belonging to the Ye Clan and the Ou Clan also walked towards the Star Emperor Academy.


The intensity of this storm quickly engulfed the Royal Capital. Currently, there were many gazes watching over the Emperor Star Academy as well as the Royal Academy, which focused on each and every one of their movements.


Today, the two academies no longer made any movements in the darkness. Instead, they openly mobilized all the experts they could muster.


Such news could definitely be compared to the scale of a large earthquake, causing the entire Royal Academy to sway with it.


In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, An Liuyan stood by the window, sighing. Yang Chen stood behind him and told him about the movements of the two academies.


"The crisis facing the Star Emperor Academy this time around will be more difficult to resolve compared to the latter." A Liuyan chanted in a low voice.


"Didn't the Star Emperor Academy also have supporters?" Yang Chen asked.


"i thought the Azure Emperor Palace. But according to what I know, the influence of the Azure Faction, which supports the Star Emperor Academy, within the Azure Emperor Palace is getting weaker. Back then Luo Tianya wanted to take action against the Star Emperor Academy, it was also because the Xiao Clan – was one of the three factions of the Nine Mystical Palace. But due to the interference from the Azure Emperor Palace, they had no choice but to compromise. However this time, taking into account that Xiao Lan had personally arrived at Chu, it showed that the Nine Mystical Palace had already taken into account the disturbance of the Azure Emperor Palace in their consideration. ”


An Liuyan slowly spoke, but Yang Chen was still confused. After all, he had only interacted with people of An Liuyan's level and was unsure how powerful places like Nine Mystical Palace and Azure Emperor Palace were. However, he vaguely knew that with his ability, An Liuyan was not easy either.


Other than the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Star River Association as well as the other major powers were all paying close attention.


Inside the Royal Capital, on a vast expanse of flat land, the members of the Star Emperor Academy and the Royal Academy all stopped their movements. They were about several thousand meters away from each other, each emitting a terrifying pressure and battle intent they were trying to fight against the other.


In the airspace above the two academies, a flying-type demonic beast and a Yuanfu-level expert floated in the air. There were a total of over a hundred Yuanfu cultivators altogether, and this was also the first time they would clash head-on. From this, one could see just how powerful those two forces were.


Back when Qin Wentian was still in Sky Harmony City, it was rare to even see a single Yuanfu level Cultivator.


On the ground, the student in the Arterial Circulation realm stood there. Their faces were serious and their gazes were heavy as they stood in formation.


The Star Emperor Academy did not force their students to participate in this upcoming war. However, the war path cultivators all had hearts full of hot blood. How could they stand to the side and watch casually, adopting cowardly behavior when the academy was about to go to war? As long as they were at tier 3 of the Artery Circulation and above, the majority of the students chose to participate, despite the prohibition set by the Star Emperor Academy.


At this moment, both sides had several hundred Arterial Circulation Cultivators, similar to a small-scale army.


Both sides stood there, silent. The atmosphere was so suffocating that it felt more difficult for the witnessing party to breathe than for those present.


For the operation this time, the leader representing the Star Emperor Academy was Ren Qianxing. Although in the past he rarely appeared in front of the crowd, almost everyone knew who he was at the moment. Ren Qianxing's real appointment was one of the three vice principals of the Star Emperor Academy.


The level of strength of the leaders representing the Royal Academy could not compare to Ren Qianxing. However, their status was all very shocking. They were Xiao Lan from Nine Mystical Palace, Chu 3rd Prince, Chu Tianjiao, as well as Snowcloud Crown Prince, Xiao L.


The three of them stood on top of an extremely powerful demonic beast, gazing down with arrogance towards Emperor Star Academy. Other than them, there were also some powerful figures belonging to the Royal Academy.


The Star Emperor Academy and the Royal Academy were all measuring each other. Qin Wentian was there as well. He was standing at the forefront of the square-shaped formation on the side of the Emperor Star Academy.


Within the square-shaped formation, the people there consisted of Qin Wentian, Luo Huan, Fan Le, Luo Cheng, Yu Fei and the other elites. They would be the vanguard of the academy, and if war were to really erupt, they would have to attack quickly and violently, directly destroying the morale of their opponents.


There is a need to formulate strategies even in chaotic fights.


A flash of cold light flickered in his eyes as Qin Wentian looked at the formation of the Royal Academy. In one of their formations, he saw Orchon as well as the members of the Knight Association standing inside. They were all nurtured by the Star Emperor Academy, but now, they were actually standing by the side of the Royal Academy, wanting to take action against the place that nurtured them.


“I can give Emperor Star Academy one more chance. If all of you are willing to join my Royal Academy, the conditions will still be the same as the one I mentioned earlier. "Chu Tianjiao's eyes looked at Ren Qianxing with a hint of provocation as she calmly spoke.


Ren Qianxing's only response was to stare coldly at him.


Chu Tianjiao laughed coldly, as he looked at the disciples of the Star Emperor Academy below. "If you all leave now, I'll leave you untouched. Want to clash against us based on your strength level? It was not a wise decision. "


As Chu Tianjiao's voice faded, the sound of a galloping warhorse could be heard on the horizon. These newcomers were none other than those from the Ye and Ou Clans. They were willing to stand by the side of the Royal Academy to do battle.


In terms of numbers, the Royal Academy had an absolute advantage.


Everyone did not move but there were a few Star Emperor Academy students whose hearts had already begun to waver. This did not mean that they wanted to leave the battle, but their initial confidence of winning was clearly already shaken. Originally, after the merging of the Royal Academy and the God Martial Palace, they already had an advantage in terms of numbers, not to mention now that the combined strength gathered by the Chu noble clan had arrived. The Star Emperor Academy was surrounded by enemies from all sides.


Just to see that at this moment, a silhouette came out, causing the people from the Star Emperor Academy to be stunned.


Qin Wentian took a few steps forward, standing in front of the people from the Star Emperor Academy. He tilted his head, his gaze staring at the silhouette hovering in the air.


"Despite the support of the Royal Academy from the Royal Clan, they had still been greatly suppressed by the Emperor Star Academy for over thousands of years. And now, in order to deal with the Star Emperor Academy, they joined the God Martial Palace and used some underhanded means to steal our position. "Qin Wentian calmly continued," Get out of here. No one can replace us. We are from the Star Emperor Academy. ”


During his speech, Qin Wentian's ancient spear was already grasped in his hand as his long hair fluttered behind him, appearing as if he was basking in the glory that came from being part of the Star Emperor Academy. At this moment, the people from the Star Emperor Academy could feel the blood on their bodies heating up. In order to deal with them, the Royal Clan broke their brains and used many underhanded methods. This in itself was already a type of glory.


They, were from the Star Emperor Academy!
