A few days later, the Mist God Palace Master and the people from the Mist God Palace arrived at Hongng Academy.
Knowing that the Mist God Palace Master and his people ca, Teng Yi was puzzled but still personally received the Mist God Palace Master along with Li Yao.
After all, the Mist God Palace Master is a formidable entity comparable to their master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, so they had to take him seriously.
After inviting the Mist God Palace Master and his team into the grand hall of Hongng Academy, Teng Yi asked, "I wonder what brings Senior Lv here this ti?"
Hongng Academy and the Mist God Palace have no real affiliation.
The Mist God Palace Master wouldn’t co here without a reason.
"Just ten days ago, our Mist God Palace’s Extre Ancestor and thirty-four Core Disciples died on an island in the deep sea," the Mist God Palace Master said coldly.
Teng Yi and the senior mbers of Hongng Academy were all taken aback.
The Extre Ancestor of the Mist God Palace actually died on a deep-sea island!
Moreover, there were thirty-four Core Disciples!
This is truly shocking.
Even on the Three Pure Continents, Teng Yi had heard of the Extre Ancestor of the Mist God Palace.
The Extre Ancestor of the Mist God Palace is one of the few top experts on the Mist Continent.
But why did the Mist God Palace co to Hongng Academy after the death of the Extre Ancestor and dozens of Core Disciples in the deep sea? Teng Yi was puzzled and asked, "So what does Senior Lv intend with his visit?"
"We want Hongng Academy to help us investigate the culprit," the Mist God Palace Master directly stated his purpose.
Teng Yi and the senior mbers of Hongng Academy furrowed their brows at hearing this.
To have Hongng Academy investigate the culprit?
On a positive note, they were being asked for help.
On a negative note, the Mist God Palace Master was here to give orders to Hongng Academy?
If Hongng Academy had ties with the Mist God Palace, they could help investigate, but the key point is that there is no such relationship between the two factions.
Moreover, since the Mist God Palace and Tianhe Sect entered the Three Pure Continents, they have constantly provoked and targeted various major forces, even boasting that without the Primordial Universe Taoist, Hongng Academy is nothing more than a soft-shelled turtle.
And now, the Mist God Palace Master still has the audacity to co, asking Hongng Academy to help them investigate the culprit?
"Senior, lately, our Hongng Academy Disciples have all been out on training missions, so we don’t really have the manpower to assist the Mist God Palace in this matter," Teng Yi responded.
The refusal couldn’t be more clear.
Upon hearing this, the Mist God Palace Master smiled, "Our people died in the deep sea, and your Hongng Academy bears an unavoidable responsibility. If you refuse to investigate, it shows that your Hongng Academy is the most suspicious!"
The Hongng Academy Law Enforcent Hall Master listened, fuming with anger: "That’s nonsense! Lv Zhong, what do you an by this? Your Mist God Palace has people die, and you’re letting our Hongng Academy take the bla!"
"Many people die in the deep sea every day. By your logic, should every sect and every family that loses soone bla our Hongng Academy?"
The Mist God Palace Master Lv Zhong did not expect the Hongng Academy Law Enforcent Hall Master to publicly reprimand him, his face darkening as he suddenly clawed at the Hongng Academy Law Enforcent Hall Master: "What are you, daring to interrupt my conversation with your Dean!"
Seeing that Lv Zhong’s claw power was about to strike the Hongng Academy Law Enforcent Hall Master.
At this mont, Teng Yi and several elders of Hongng Academy simultaneously acted, confronting Lv Zhong’s claw power.
A loud booming sound echoed.
Teng Yi and several elders of Hongng Academy all retreated from the force.
Teng Yi was fine, but the elders almost toppled over into their seats.
And the Mist God Palace Master also took a step back.
Teng Yi’s face turned cold, staring at the Mist God Palace Master: "Mist God Palace Master, we do not require your lessons for our Hongng Academy mbers. If the Mist God Palace Master has no other business, you can leave now!"
All mbers of Hongng Academy stood up, eyeing the Mist God Palace Master and his group.
From afar, countless disciples of Hongng Academy heard the commotion and began to gather around.
The Mist God Palace Master rely chuckled and said to Teng Yi, "Dean Teng, since you are unwilling to assist with this small matter, we, the Mist God Palace, won’t press on and shall request help from others."
Having said that, he led his team away.
But as they were leaving the grand hall, he suddenly paused and said to Teng Yi, "I’ve heard that in recent years, the disciples of Hongng Academy have been so frightened by the White Night Demon Clan that they dare not set foot outside the academy."
"It seems without the Primordial Universe Taoist, Hongng Academy has beco like turtles hiding in their shells!"
With that, he and his team disappeared into the sky.
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in Hongng Academy turned grim.
"However, I, Lv Zhong, have a broad mind and warmly welco Hongng Academy’s disciples to visit the Mist Continent."
"I will surely take good care of you."
From the distant sky, the Mist God Palace Master’s voice still carried over.
The Hongng Academy Law Enforcent Hall Master fud, "The Mist God Palace is too arrogant! They clearly took advantage of the ancestor’s absence to co to Hongng Academy and show off!"
After a mont, everyone cald their emotions.
"That Mist God Palace’s Extre Ancestor actually died in the deep sea; I wonder who did it! What audacity!" The Mission Hall’s Vice Hall Master Chen Yingsheng spoke.
Li Yao suddenly said to Teng Yi: "Brother, didn’t the younger disciple also go to the deep sea?" Li Yao’s words naturally implied that this might have sothing to do with Yang Xiaotian.
Upon hearing this, Teng Yi’s face sank: "Brother, you can joke about other things, but not this!"
Li Yao awkwardly smiled: "I was just casually speaking, with no other intention."
No other intention?
However, everyone in the hall could hear the implication in Li Yao’s earlier words.
Nonetheless, after ntioning Yang Xiaotian, Teng Yi couldn’t help but worry about how Yang Xiaotian was doing now in the deep sea.
The Mist God Palace Master and his group of experts left Hongng Academy with suddenly darkened faces.
His estimation of Teng Yi’s abilities was unexpectedly exceeded by a significant margin.
"We’re heading to the Six Paths Academy." The Mist God Palace Master said after a brief consideration.
He knew that Six Paths Academy also had tensions with Hongng Academy, and perhaps he could temporarily ally with them.
However, as they traveled above Hongng City, the Mist God Palace Master suddenly sensed a soul-destroying force.
This soul-destroying force was identical to the power that killed their Mist God Palace disciple.
The Mist God Palace Master was taken aback, but in that instant, the power disappeared again.
He searched with his Divine Soul but found nothing.
"Palace Master, what’s the matter?" Perceiving the Mist God Palace Master’s odd behavior, the experts around him asked.
The Mist God Palace Master explained what he had sensed.
"Could it just be a coincidence?" An elder from the Mist God Palace doubtfully asked.
The Mist God Palace Master shook his head, the proximity to the deep sea made it too coincidental, his figure flashed and descended onto the streets of Hongng City, instructing his team: "Search street by street, don’t miss anyone suspicious."
The experts from the Mist God Palace complied, began blocking streets, and questioned, searching through each street.
At this ti, Yang Xiaotian and the Destroying Heaven Demon arrived at the depths of the sea.
"Holy Master, ahead is the Despair Sea Domain." The Destroying Heaven Demon pointed to the sea area ahead, his face filled with seriousness.
Ahead, the sea was shrouded in layers of black chilly mist, vaguely forming a giant vortex.
