"No… She's not…." Chu Heng hurriedly said with difficulty and tried to protect his sister.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen said nothing, but he moved to the front of Chu Mi and Chu Heng with his hand on the hilt of his sword. He believed Yun Lintian must have a way to help Chu Mi. All he needed to do right now was to protect her until he returned.
Hearing Peng Haoye's order, the academy elder nearby did not hesitate to rush forward while releasing the peak of Saint Profound Realm's aura.
Yang Chen's face turned solemn and drew his sword out. His aura instantly blasted out along with a scorching heatwave. His eyes were firm, preparing to crash with the incoming academy elder head-on.
"Kill them. They are in the same group." Peng Haoye said coldly while he paid attention to Han Bingling. If she moved, he would intercept her.
With Peng Haoye's reminder, the academy elder didn't hesitate anymore and sent out a powerful palm print on Yang Chen.
"Get lost!" Before the palm print could reach Yang Chen, an angry voice suddenly reverberated throughout the square, accompanied by a crescent shape energy slash shooting at the academy elder.
The academy elder's expression changed drastically and hurriedly sent out another palm print to block the incoming slash.
Bang!
Unfortunately, the academy elder's power was not enough to stop the crescent slash, and he was sent away like a cannonball.
"Hmph! Let's see, who dares to harm my student." Hong Wuya appeared standing before Yang Chen with his arms crossed before his chest, looking at the academy elder, who was struggling to get up from the ground, as well as Peng Haoye.
Yang Cheng was taken aback and looked at Hong Wuya's back with gratitude. Although he could resist the academy elder's attack by himself, he would, undoubtedly, get heavily injured.
Peng Haoye's eyes narrowed and asked coldly. "What do you mean by this, Hall Master Hong? Since when he becomes your student?… Could it be you are also a member of Poison Valley?"
"My spouting nonsense skill is far inferior to you, so I won't talk much about it. However, Yang Chen and his friends have been my students since the first time they entered the academy. If you want to do something on them, you have to walk over my corpse first." Hong Wuya had a short temper, and he didn't bother to care about Peng Haoye. He swept his gaze over other academy elders, and everyone quickly hid their faces.
Hong Wuya was regarded as a lunatic, and he always did what he wanted to. Therefore, no one had ever doubted his word. Since he was determined to protect Yang Chen and Chu's siblings, it was extremely difficult to get them without crashing with Hong Wuya.
"Hall Master Hong. They are related to Poison Valley. Are you sure you want to protect them?" One of the academy elders stepped forward.
Hong Wuya merely glanced at him and said nothing. His stance was evident. He stood by what he said.
Peng Haoye knew talking with Hong Wuya was useless. He sent an eye signal to several academy elders nearby, and they immediately understood.
The scene naturally did not escape from Hong Wuya's eyes. He sneered. "Why all of you are so wishy-washy? Just come already."
"Very well. Let's fight then." The earlier academy elder said solemnly as he released his aura.
Instantaneously, the square was entirely shrouded with tremendous pressure. The onlookers were immediately suffocating and could not move.
Han Bingling watched the scene calmly while her Spiritual Sense quickly scanned the crowd. In the next moment, she found Peng Xiaowang hiding behind the Peng clan's elders. Beside him was the mysterious youth, Yin Fei, that she had been observing for a long time.
A cold smile appeared on her face as she sent a sound transmission to Han Muyue. "Get these two people to me."
Han Muyue said nothing, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Peng Haoye had always paid attention to Han Bingling's movement. When he saw Han Muyue vanish, he immediately reacted. However, as he was about to move, he discovered his entire body was already covered with a freezing cold aura. It prevented him from moving further.
"W-who are you!?" In the crowd, Peng Xiaowang cried out loud as his neck was grabbed by Han Muyue.
On the other hand, Yin Fei had long anticipated this and executed his movement technique to escape Han Muyue's grasp… Sadly, his strength was not enough, and he was detained by Han Muyue a split second later.
"Don't go too far, Han Bingling!" Peng Haoye thundered furiously when he saw this scene.
Boom!
Following his roar, a ball of extremely tyrannical profound energy exploded above the square. It was of the Monarch level, and it was the highest level of strength present. Under this kind of strength, the crowd was blown away by the violent commotion. They were blown far away, and their blood boiled, almost fainting.
And this was simply the aftermath of a Monarch exercising his profound energy!
Alarmed cries rang out from the square. This level of strength was not something they could bear, and even more so, not something they could withstand.
The academy elders and Hong Wuya abruptly stopped their actions when they saw this. They glanced at each other and quickly spread out, releasing their power to protect everyone.
"Protect them." Han Bingling said to Han Muxue, and she immediately rose to the sky, facing Peng Haoye.
"I thought you would stay thick face until the end. It seems you still care about the junior of your clan, huh?" Han Bingling said calmly, looking at the furious Peng Haoye in the distance.
"Master." Han Muyue appeared beside her with Peng Xiaowang and Yin Fei in her hands.
"Release him!" Peng Haoye took a deep breath and said. His eyes were overflowing with killing intent.
Han Bingling smiled charmingly.. She touched her lips with her slender index finger and asked playfully. "Which one? Your beloved nephew or… The Envoy of Poison Valley?"
