Ye Han's expression changed dramatically.
He couldn't believe the scene unfolding before his eyes.
He never expected that trouble would arise at such a mont.
He could understand Vice Hall Master Qiu from the Enforcent Hall taking a stand, as the man had previously joined forces with Yin Tianxiu to punish him.
But who were these three old fellows?
Ye Han didn't recall any grudges with them, and their faces were completely unfamiliar to him.
"Elder Tianjian, what is the aning of this?"
In an instant, another figure arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield.
Elder Ji!
Ye Han's icy deanor softened slightly, surprised that Elder Ji would appear at this ti.
"During the disciples' competition, accidents have always happened. Moreover, Ye Han, having triumphed over the stronger with the weaker, should naturally push forward and do his utmost. His killing of Luo Tianzheng is understandable."
Elder Ji stared at Elder Tianjian, his brow deeply furrowed.
"Understandable?"
Elder Tianjian's face was stern, his gaze sharp as a sword: "Without rules, there is no order. Ye Han has broken the rules and must be punished!"
Elder Ji was about to speak when Elder Dijian stepped forward: "Ji Yuanming, as an ordinary elder, you're not qualified to protect this Outer Sect youngster. Step back, lest you bring disgrace upon yourself."
The three great Sword Elders, Tian, Di, and Ren, each more domineering than the last, were all significant figures within the Academy.
"That's right, Ji Yuanming, if you dare to speak further, you'll be colluding with this youngster, and you too will be suppressed."

Elder Renjian let out a sinister sneer and spoke up.
"You three, esteed Sword Elders, targeting , an Outer Sect disciple? What past grievances do we have?"
Ye Han was no longer silent, stepping forward.
Now with a strong will, although the three great Sword Elders before him were unfathomable and their status unimaginable, Ye Han was unafraid.
"Targeting?"
"You think too highly of yourself. You, a lowly Outer Sect disciple, dare to kill in broad daylight, you deserve death."
Elder Tianjian glanced at Ye Han.
"Death?"
Ye Han spoke directly, staring at Elder Tianjian: "Luo Tianzheng, rely an ordinary Outer Sect disciple, dared to harbor killing intent towards , he deserved death."
"What did you say?"
A cold light burst from the corner of Elder Tianjian's eyes.
Ye Han dared to talk back?
"Did I speak wrongly? The Human Path is one of the Academy's Six Paths."
"I, Ye Han, am the sole successor of the Human Path, the only disciple. If he wished to kill , that would be harboring ulterior motives, plotting treachery, and aiming to sever one of the Academy's Six Paths. It is an act of insubordination, and his death is well-deserved."
Ye Han's voice bood as he stared at Elder Tianjian: "His death by my sword is justified. Even if he were an Inner Disciple with a special status, if he sought to kill and sever the Human Path's lineage, that would be a grave cri, deserving of death."
Who can't play the bla ga?
Trying to win with words? Ye Han could silence all three great Sword Elders.
It's better to rely on oneself than others, Ye Han had co to see clearly.
He was grateful that Elder Ji spoke for him.
However, he also saw clearly that Elder Ji could not play a significant role.
Both being Academy elders, Elder Ji, an ordinary elder, had no say compared to the three great Sword Elders with their important roles and special status.
Elder Tianjian was utterly taken aback, never expecting Ye Han to have such an argunt.
This teenager, with his sharp words, had montarily left the three elders speechless.
The successor of the Human Path!
These words struck heavily in their hearts.
Setting aside strength, in terms of status and position, Ye Han, as the successor of the Human Path, indeed held extraordinary significance.
Moreover, among the Academy's Six Paths, the other five had many disciples and geniuses, while the Human Path was recognized as the most difficult to cultivate and the weakest. Its lineage had dwindled to the point where few wished to join.
Furthermore, with the Human Path master Li Futu's strict recruitnt, the grand Human Path had only Ye Han as a disciple.
"Smooth talker! How dare you!"
Elder Tianjian's face changed, becoming extrely fierce.
In his profound eyes, imasurable authority erupted.
The great montum, like the torrential flow of heaven and earth, bore down on Ye Han, cutting off all his paths of retreat.
Boom!
Ye Han clenched his teeth as his body shook.
Above his head, it was as if an ancient divine mountain had appeared, intent on crushing him right there.
In that brief mont, Ye Han's body felt as if it would burst from the pressure, and extre pain spread throughout his limbs.
"Why suppress ?"
Ye Han clenched his fists, frantically mobilizing his divine power.
Deep within his Qi Sea, nine strands of Divine Power bolstered him, weaving through his ridians and bones, helping him resist the external oppression.
Unfathomable and unimaginable.
This was the aura of Elder Tianjian. The gap between them was boundless.
In Elder Tianjian's eyes, Ye Han was no different from the ants on the ground, and with a single thought, he could be slain dozens or hundreds of tis.
"Kneel!"
In a daze, Ye Han seed to hear Elder Tianjian's voice, resonant as a bell.
His eardrums were ringing, the rolling sound waves entering his mind, threatening to scatter Ye Han's will and force him to kneel and admit his wrongs on the spot.
Wrong?
What wrong had he done?
You, a distinguished Academy elder, suddenly appear to deal with , an Outer Sect disciple, without any reason?
Creak, creak...
Ye Han's flesh and bones were cracking, his blood threatening to burst out of his body.
On one side, Elder Ji's divine power surged, stepping forward.
But just as Elder Ji moved, Elder Dijian and Elder Renjian stepped out simultaneously.
The two great elders stepped out with cold smiles, their swords sealing off Elder Ji's path.
Their sword energy was chilling, pressing down on Elder Ji, as if they were about to explode at any mont and slay him on the spot.
"You... esteed Sword Elders, would stoop so low as to deal with an Outer Sect disciple?" Elder Ji's face was extrely ugly.
Such an incident, if spread, would be inconceivable and a laughingstock.
No matter how domineering, strong, or troubleso Ye Han was, it was rely a dispute among the disciples below. How could it involve the great Sword Elders?
On the ground ahead.
Ye Han's body was sinking under the trendous pressure, but he refused to kneel even in the face of death.
His knees felt as if they were about to be crushed, his body in excruciating pain, on the verge of falling apart.
Bang!
Suddenly, Ye Han's knee bent, and his right arm slamd down hard.
The ground beneath his feet cracked, spreading countless fissures.
With one hand supporting the earth, Ye Han struggled to lift his head, a piercing cold light bursting from his eyes:
"All heavens and myriad worlds, the myriad paths of heaven and earth!"
"Except for my parents, no one can make , Ye Han, kneel. Elder Tianjian, who do you think you are?"
Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Ye Han!
If Elder Tianjian truly had doubts about his killing of Luo Tianzheng, that would be understandable.
However, it was clear that the man was looking for trouble!
Today, at the Academy's grand assembly, with countless experts and disciples watching.
If he were to kneel, it would be an imnse humiliation!
Absolutely impossible!
