I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Cangxuan Academy.

The sacred land, which was once shrouded in ethereal mist and filled with the sound of students reciting their lessons, was now shrouded in a chilling aura.

Outside the academy, a dense crowd completely surrounded the mountain gate. Leading them were Situ Hong, the head of the Situ family, and Wu Qingtian, the head of the Wu family. Behind them were the elites of their respective clans, each exuding a fierce aura and a palpable killing intent.

Beside them, the Supreme Elders of the Divine Fist Sect, the Blazing Sun Sect, the Wind and Thunder Valley, and the Myriad Beasts Manor stood with their respective sect's experts, their faces grim. The pressure from their various grotto-heavens and profound realms intertwined, forming an invisible net that made all the students in the Cangxuan Academy tremble.

"Cangxuan Academy! Hand over Chu Feng!" Wu Qingtian's voice boomed like a bell, filled with boundless rage and killing intent. "This brat killed my beloved son! If we don't tear him to pieces today, my Wu family swears not to rest!"

"And my son, Situ Changkong!" Situ Hong's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. "Your Cangxuan Academy is protecting the murderer, which makes you enemies of the Situ family! Today, you must give us an explanation!"

"And the leaders of our four sects!" The Supreme Elder of Wind and Thunder Valley stepped forward, his voice icy cold. "They all perished at the hands of Chu Feng. Your Cangxuan Academy must also take responsibility for this!"

The roar was deafening, and the killing intent soared to the heavens.

Inside the academy, the dean's beard and hair moved without wind as he stood before the mountain gate, with a group of academy elders behind him.

Facing powerful enemies from all sides, his expression remained unchanged. His voice wasn't loud, but every word was as firm as iron: "Chu Feng is a Divine Revelation student of my Cangxuan Academy. Anyone who tries to harm him will be sworn enemies with my Cangxuan Academy!"

"A fight to the death? A fine fight to the death indeed!" Wu Qingtian laughed in fury. "Does your Cangxuan Academy truly believe you're still the behemoth that rivaled Tianyan Palace a hundred years ago? Today, so what if we become your enemies?!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if a major battle was about to break out.

Just then, a gentle voice came from the horizon.

"Gentlemen, why such anger? Please give the Shangguan family some face and let this matter rest?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a refined-looking middle-aged man, accompanied by several powerful members of the Shangguan family, quietly appeared. This was none other than Shangguan Yun, the head of the Shangguan family.

"Shangguan Yun?" Situ Hong frowned. "Is your Shangguan family also going to get involved in this matter?"

Shangguan Yun smiled slightly: "Young Master Chu has done a great favor for my Shangguan family, and my Shangguan family cannot fail to repay this favor."

"Hmph, the Shangguan family alone thinks they can protect him?"

Just then, another chilling voice rang out. The figure of the Grand Elder of Tianyan Palace appeared in the arena like a ghost. He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Dean Cangxuan, saying with a forced smile, "Dean, how have you been?"

The dean's face darkened instantly upon seeing him: "What are you doing here?"

The Grand Elder of Tianyan Palace did not answer directly, but looked at Wu Qingtian and the others, and slowly said, "You may not know something. Not long ago, that Chu Feng killed the young master of Fenglei Pavilion in Xuantian Prefecture."

What?!

These words shocked everyone present!

The Wind and Thunder Pavilion! That's a behemoth a hundred times more terrifying than the Wu family and the Situ family combined! It's a super power standing at the pinnacle of Xuan Tian Prefecture!

Has Chu Feng gone mad? He even dared to kill the young master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, the Grand Elder of Tianyan Palace nodded in satisfaction and continued to embellish the story: "The Fenglei Pavilion acts tyrannically and is vengeful. Now that their young master has died in Cangxuan Prefecture, you can all think about it: once the Fenglei Pavilion's wrath descends, who in our entire Cangxuan Prefecture can remain unscathed?"

"At that time, not only you, but even my Heavenly Evolution Palace will likely be implicated! Therefore, this child must not be allowed to live!"

His words instantly put Chu Feng on the opposite side of the entire Cangxuan Prefecture!

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingtian and the others felt as if they had found their backbone, and their killing intent surged.

"Did you hear that? This boy is a jinx! If we don't eliminate him today, the entire Cangxuan Prefecture will be buried with him!"

"That's right! Cangxuan Academy, if you remain obstinate, you will be making enemies of the entire Cangxuan Prefecture!"

Immediately, public sentiment was agitated, and all the blame was directed at Cangxuan Academy.

Shangguan Yun's face also turned extremely ugly. He did not expect that Tianyan Palace would interfere and escalate the matter to such a high level.

"Hahaha..." Dean Cangxuan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm and disdain. "Such high-sounding words, but isn't it just a ploy to use someone else to kill you and suppress my Cangxuan Academy? Tianyan Palace is still the same as it was a hundred years ago, just as despicable and shameless!"

The Grand Elder of Tianyan Palace's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "It seems the Dean is determined to protect that jinx. In that case, I think your Cangxuan Academy has no reason to continue existing!"

"What do you mean?" Dean Cangxuan's expression darkened as he stared intently at the Grand Elder of Tianyan Palace.

Just then, a detached yet arrogant voice seemed to come from the heavens above, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

His meaning is very simple.

"Today, Cangxuan Academy shall be destroyed."

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed in white, spotless, standing on a cloud.

He was handsome, with an otherworldly air, and his eyes were as indifferent as still water, as if he didn't care about anything in the world. He just stood there quietly, yet he seemed to become the only one in this world, making the sun and moon pale in comparison.

The dean stared at the figure in white, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his usually calm face. His lips trembled as he managed to utter three words with difficulty.

"Ning...Chen..."

The peerless genius that Tianyan Palace has not seen in a hundred years, the legendary prodigy whose talent is even greater than that of Yan Changqing!

He actually came down in person!

Ning Chen!

This name seemed to possess an invisible magic, instantly silencing all the clamoring powerhouses present.

All eyes were fixed on the figure in white, their gazes filled with awe and...fear.

That was the true trump card that Tianyan Palace had kept hidden for more than 20 years. It was a legend that was recognized by the younger generation of the entire Cangxuan Prefecture as insurmountable!

"Ning Chen, how dare you! You're not qualified to destroy my Cangxuan Academy!"

Just then, a clear and cold voice rang out.

Luo Qingyao's figure soared into the sky. She stood in mid-air, her sword intent reaching the heavens, and the powerful aura belonging to the Nascent Soul Realm was released without reservation!

"Nascent Soul Realm?!"

Sensing Luo Qingyao's aura, many below gasped in surprise. How long had it been? This prodigy of Cangxuan Academy had actually broken through!

Ning Chen's indifferent gaze finally shifted from the sky and landed on Luo Qingyao. He looked her up and down, his eyes like those of someone admiring a reasonably good work of art, before a faint, indifferent smile curved his lips.

"A Saint-grade talent, which is not a disgrace to your cultivation. You're also quite good-looking. I happen to need a personal maid to serve me tea and water, so you'll be the one."

His voice was flat, yet it carried a sense of entitlement and an unquestionable command.

"You're asking for it!"

Luo Qingyao had never suffered such humiliation. Her pretty face was contorted with rage, and she could no longer suppress the fire of anger in her heart.

"Heavenly Water Sword Technique!"

With a wave of her jade hand, the water-attribute spiritual energy in the world gathered wildly, transforming into a crystal-clear hundred-foot-long water sword, carrying the chill of freezing everything, and slashed down at Ning Chen!

This sword strike was the strongest attack she had comprehended after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, enough to make even ordinary Transcendent Realm experts change color!

However, Ning Chen didn't even lift his eyelids in the face of this earth-shattering sword strike.

He simply held up two fingers.

Her fair, slender fingers, as if carved from beautiful jade, casually and gently pinched the hundred-foot-long water sword.

Ding!

A soft sound.

The terrifying water sword, powerful enough to freeze mountains and rivers, froze instantly the moment it touched his fingertips, and then... shattered inch by inch!

It transformed into countless ice crystals, which drifted down in a gentle, scattered manner.

"puff!"

Luo Qingyao felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, her eyes filled with endless horror and disbelief.

One finger!

With just a single finger, he broke her strongest attack?!

How...how is this possible?!

Ning Chen slowly withdrew his fingers, and a ripple finally appeared in his indifferent eyes, but it was not solemnity, but rather... disappointment.

"Too weak."

He shook his head, as if he had lost all interest.

"After today, Cangxuan Academy will cease to exist in Cangxuan Prefecture."

He turned around, his back to the crowd, his voice indifferent, yet like the judgment of a god.

"kill."

A single word, like a chilling wind blowing from the depths of hell, instantly ignited the entire battlefield!
