Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

"Big trouble?"

Ye Han's eyes instantly turned icy.

"The Enforcement Hall, the Deputy Lord himself has come with people. What have you done?" Elder Gu Yunzhu looked at Ye Han.

"I crippled Lu Yunxiao!"

Ye Han glanced at Mo Qingrou beside him.

Since it was people from the Enforcement Hall, it must be about Li Kai and Lu Yunxiao.

Li Kai's death had no witnesses, so Ye Han wasn't worried.

However, with Lu Yunxiao turned into a cripple, his backer Yin Tianxiu would surely not let things rest and would use this incident to make trouble.

"Trouble can't be avoided; let's go see."

Elder Gu Yunzhu gave Ye Han a look.

She probably never expected that a little disciple she took in, a nobody from Flame City, could cause such a stir at the Cycle Academy.

The three of them quickly arrived at the base of Bamboo Melody Peak.

A group of experts gathered ahead, with dozens of leaders exuding murderous intent, their gazes stern, carrying an invisible killing aura. Ye Han recognized their attire as very familiar.

Those enforcers from the Enforcement Hall that day, they wore the same clothes.

Beside them was a woman shrouded in fiery red light, veiled, her face indistinct.

The woman held a high status, surrounded by the crowd, an invisible aura emanating from her. Even through the veil, her gaze towards this place made Ye Han feel a soul-shaking oppression.

Many disciples from the academy hid in the distance, watching the scene in terror. Many Outer Sect disciples didn't dare to raise their heads, fearing a wrong look would get them taken by the Enforcement Hall as an "example."

"Seize him!"

A middle-aged man spoke, waving his arm.

In an instant, a dozen enforcers surged forward with overwhelming momentum.

"How dare you!"

Elder Gu Yunzhu stepped forward from the side.

Instantly, all ten enforcers stiffened, revealing a look of dread.

"Without a word, you come to my Bamboo Melody Peak to seize people; the Enforcement Hall has really grown more and more rampant these past two years," Elder Gu Yunzhu said sternly.

The middle-aged man walked over from the front, locking onto Ye Han's figure.

"Ye Han, you killed your fellow disciple Li Kai without cause!"

"After entering the academy, you personally crippled your fellow disciple Lu Yunxiao, a crime worthy of death!"

The middle-aged man's tone was merciless, filled with murderous intent, his words seemingly determining Ye Han's life and death, utterly incontrovertible.

After speaking, he looked at Elder Gu Yunzhu: "This matter is confirmed, the guilt established, irreversible by anyone. Elder Gu, please step aside and don't cause trouble for the Enforcement Hall."

"Lord Qiu, you say Ye Han killed Li Kai, where's the evidence?"

Elder Gu Yunzhu stared at the middle-aged man.

"Evidence?"

Lord Qiu glanced at Ye Han: "This kid has publicly admitted that Li Kai died by his hand."

In an instant, everyone's gaze converged on Ye Han.

Even Elder Gu Yunzhu was at a loss for words at this moment.

Ye Han admitted it himself?

What else was there to say?

"Ye Han, come with us," Lord Qiu glanced at Ye Han.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"An admission makes him the murderer?"

After a long silence, Mo Qingrou finally spoke, her lips parting gently.

"Li Kai was killed by me!"

Mo Qingrou glanced at the front: "Lord Qiu, are you going to take me to the Enforcement Hall?"

"You..."

Lord Qiu was left speechless.

Many academy disciples standing in the distance also began to murmur, their looks towards the people of the Enforcement Hall changing.

Evidence?

So this is how the Enforcement Hall finds evidence?

Just based on a casual word from Ye Han, it's considered evidence, and they directly want to take him away to face a death sentence?

Wouldn't that mean if Ye Han claimed he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, the God King, or the Sword God, then he must be?

If Ye Han said the Enforcement Hall owed him a hundred thousand Vigor Pills, then it must be true, because Ye Han's word is evidence?

"Li Kai was just an ordinary disciple, he dared to disrespect me, plotting against my life, deserving of death. Lord Qiu, do you need any other explanation?"

Mo Qingrou's eyes showed a hint of arrogance, staring at Lord Qiu.

Lord Qiu was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

Who was Mo Qingrou?

She was once a prominent figure on the Yin Yang List of Inner Disciples, an absolutely peerless existence.

Even after nine years of obscurity, now that she had returned to the academy, her status as an Inner Disciple remained.

Li Kai's disrespect towards her, if truly judged by the academy's rules, was an act of insubordination, and being killed on the spot was his just deserts.

"As for Lu Yunxiao, his lack of strength led to his defeat by Ye Han, and he can't blame others."

Mo Qingrou glanced at Lord Qiu again, then said to Ye Han: "Ye Han, according to the academy's rules, in a fight between disciples of the same level, crippling Lu Yunxiao was a bit too much, a minor punishment is indeed warranted."

Ye Han stood aside, watching Lord Qiu with cold eyes.

At the same time, he finally gained a new understanding of the so-called rules of the academy.

Indeed, the so-called rules, the so-called Enforcement Hall, were only established for the weak.

The real strong can transcend these rules.

Teacher Mo Qingrou was truly formidable, resolving the matter in just a few words, leaving Lord Qiu speechless.

"Indeed, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment is hard to escape!"

At this moment, the mysterious woman shrouded in fiery red light, who had been watching coldly, finally spoke.

"Hmm?"

Ye Han's pupils dilated.

He hadn't expected someone to speak up at this critical moment!

Ye Han felt Teacher Mo Qingrou's body suddenly tense.

"Yin Tianxiu!"

Mo Qingrou stared at the woman, squeezing out three words from her throat.

A murderous intent filled Ye Han's pupils in an instant, staring intently at the woman.

Yin Tianxiu, this person, was she Yin Tianxiu?

They had never met, yet she lurked like a venomous snake, watching him and his teacher in the shadows.

Ever since he stepped into the Cycle Academy, all the troubles were related to her, and today she finally appeared here.

Almost in an instant, the divine power within Ye Han surged, with an urge to rush up and crush Yin Tianxiu to death on the spot.

"Mo Qingrou, long time no see."

Yin Tianxiu stepped forward: "Can you still recall the old days? Nostalgic, isn't it?"

"How about it? It's time to hand over that half of the Nine Yang Fire Jade, right?"

Yin Tianxiu's gaze pierced through the veil, seemingly glancing at Ye Han before settling on Mo Qingrou.

"Yin Tianxiu, even if I destroy that half of the Nine Yang Fire Jade, you can forget about getting it."

Mo Qingrou's tone was extremely cold, seemingly filled with endless anger.

But at this moment, she could only lie in a wheelchair, her realm fallen, in stark contrast to Yin Tianxiu before her.

"So many years have passed, and you still hold onto the past, Mo Qingrou, that's not like you."

Yin Tianxiu spoke again: "Your disciple Ye Han has done wrong, taking away the fortune meant for Luo Tianzheng and Ye Zhixuan, and once again provoking the Limitless Sword Sect. When the Child of Reincarnation returns, you should understand the outcome."

Before Mo Qingrou could respond, Yin Tianxiu's voice rang out again: "Some matters can be big or small. I can still speak a few words on behalf of the Child of Reincarnation and might help resolve the grudge."

"Bitch!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Han could no longer hold back, angrily speaking out.
