Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 51 The Emperor's Invitation Shocks the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!
Faced with Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire's alliance request filled with awe and fervor, it could be said that he had lowered his stance to the extreme.

Yan Boshan's enigmatic smile remained unchanged.

He remained as calm and collected as ever, as if nothing in the world bothered him.

He gently raised his hand, indicating that Emperor Xueye did not need to be so formal, and then slowly spoke in a calm yet distant tone.

The sound reached the ears of everyone present who was listening intently:

"We deeply appreciate Your Majesty's kindness."

"only…"

His words were like a gentle breeze, yet they carried an undeniable decisiveness.

"Since its inception, Jixia Academy has aimed to impart knowledge, explore truth, and cultivate individuals who can truly understand the universe and comprehend its origins."

Rather than getting involved in worldly disputes and chasing fleeting power and interests.

"The rise and fall of empires and the change of dynasties are, in the eyes of Jixia, nothing more than a ripple in the long river of history."

“When the Crown Prince of Qinghe invited me before, I made it clear that Jixia would not concern itself with worldly affairs and would not participate in any form of alliance or confrontation.”

"Today, my answer remains the same."

"I hope Your Majesty can understand."

His words were tactful yet crystal clear, once again rejecting Emperor Xueye's alliance proposal.

They do not concern themselves with worldly affairs or participate in disputes.

This is the attitude of Jixia Academy.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's smile froze slightly, and a hint of undisguised disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.

I was rejected again!

Even with the emperor himself personally offering substantial rewards and lowering his stance, could he still not sway this mysterious head of the Jixia Academy?!

Do they really have no interest in power, status, or wealth?
Or... do they have something bigger in mind?
So large that even an empire could not satisfy their appetite?

Emperor Xueye's mind raced, and his apprehension towards Jixia Academy deepened.

However, he was, after all, the ruler of a country, and was extremely shrewd.

Although I was disappointed.

But he didn't show it on his face; instead, he quickly regained his smile and laughed heartily:

"So that's how it is. I was being presumptuous. Dean Yan has the world in his heart, lofty aspirations, and is not swayed by worldly affairs. He is truly a role model for us all."

"I...admire you, I admire you to the very end!"

He conveniently found a way to save face, attributing Yan Boshan's rejection to the fact that the other party was too high-minded and disdained the mundane.

"Such a change has occurred today, disturbing Dean Yan, and I am truly uneasy about it."

As the Snow Night Emperor surveyed the devastation around him and the still-shaken faculty, students, and ministers from various academies, he immediately displayed the decisiveness of an emperor.

"Somebody come!"

He gave the order in a loud voice.

"Clean up the scene immediately, properly care for the injured, and hold a banquet in the side hall."

"I wish to personally apologize to Dean Yan, the teachers and students of Jixia Academy, and all the distinguished guests who were frightened today."

Although he failed to form an alliance, he did not intend to let go of this opportunity to get closer to Jixia Academy.

A grand royal banquet could not only soothe people's hearts and showcase the grandeur of the royal family, but also... give him the opportunity to further observe and understand this mysterious Dean Yan.

"In that case, I will be troubling Your Majesty."

Yan Boshan did not refuse.

He also wanted to see what the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire would do after witnessing his power.

Soon, a large number of palace guards and eunuchs poured into the training ground.

They began to clear the rubble in an orderly manner, treat and comfort the wounded, and guide everyone to the side hall to rest.

Just then, two figures arrived together.

It was Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who had been unable to arrive immediately for some reason, and his guardian deity, Sword Dao Chenxin.

They had obviously heard about the earth-shattering events that had occurred at the drill ground, which is why they rushed over.

When they saw the ruins of the training ground, which looked as if it had been bombed by a meteorite, felt the terrifying energy fluctuations remaining in the air, and... Yan Boshan, who was being treated with great courtesy by Emperor Xueye, was like a star surrounded by the moon.

Even with Ning Fengzhi's composure and Sword Douluo's knowledge, he was still deeply shaken.

It seems... they underestimated the strength of this Jixia Academy dean.

They also underestimated... the stupidity of that old scoundrel Yu Yuanzhen. "Your Majesty, Dean Yan."

Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to the two, and his face showed just the right amount of concern and apology.

"I arrived late and missed the grand occasion, which is truly regrettable."

I heard that some unpleasant things happened just now. I wonder if His Majesty and the Dean are well?

"Sect Leader Ning, you're too kind. It was a small matter, and it's already been resolved."

Emperor Xueye waved his hand and said casually, seemingly unwilling to dwell on the embarrassing incident that had just occurred.

Yan Boshan simply nodded slightly to Ning Fengzhi as a greeting.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi understood and asked no further questions.

His gaze swept quickly across the crowd, and he soon found his daughter, Ning Rongrong, standing among the Jixia Xiaochu team.

"Rongrong."

Ning Fengzhi hurried over, with Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, following closely behind.

"Dad, Grandpa Bone!"

Upon seeing her family arrive, Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened, and she quickly ran over.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Ning Fengzhi carefully checked his daughter and only breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe and sound.

If the aftershocks of that battle had reached them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"I'm fine, Dad. The hospital director is here, everything will be alright."

Ning Rongrong, on the contrary, comforted Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was also filled with lingering fear.

At the same time, he became even more determined to build a good relationship with Jixia Academy.

In such a chaotic and dangerous era, only by attaching themselves to a truly powerful force can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ensure its long-term prosperity.

In another corner of the training ground.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, and at Yu Tianheng lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Liu Erlong's face remained expressionless.

She thought of her mother, and of Yu Xiaogang, who had abandoned her because of their supposed sibling relationship.

She remembered all the pain and humiliation the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had brought her…

Now, Yu Yuanzhen is dead and his cultivation has vanished, Yu Xiaogang is disgraced, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is facing imminent disaster…

She felt no sympathy whatsoever, only a kind of...cold pleasure.

Even if she knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was about to face annihilation, and might even be divided up by other forces, she would absolutely not lend a helping hand.

This is their own fault...

Unlike Liu Erlong's indifference.

After the initial grief and self-blame, Yu Tianheng, who had already fallen into despair, was finally able to move on.

His remaining rationality and sense of responsibility as the future heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family brought him back to his senses.

No.

Grandpa is dead, Uncle is crippled, the family is finished!

But... as long as he is alive, as long as his family still exists, there is still hope.

He has to go back.

immediately!
He wanted to tell his second grandfather, Yu Luomian, and all the clansmen everything that had happened here.

He wanted to show them just how terrifying the Jixia Academy was, and how powerful its headmaster was.

He had to find a way to save his family, no matter the cost.

Thinking of this, a resolute light rekindled in Yu Tianheng's eyes.

He ignored the chaos around him, as well as the sympathetic and gloating glances.

While everyone's attention was drawn to Yan Boshan and Emperor Xueye, and while the Royal Knights were busy evacuating the crowd...

He quietly broke away from the Royal Fighting Team and stumbled and ran wildly towards the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, heading out of the training ground.

He wants to go back.

He wants to save his family.

Even if the hope is slim!
