Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 407 - 402: It Is Valuable to Know Oneself

Today, the Great Sect Saint Son of Da Li and the prodigies from noble families come to question the White Jade Capital. In the very first match, the top Sword Cultivator of Lingxiao Pavilion, Yue Yunxiao, was crushed by the foremost disciple of White Jade Capital.

However, this was not unexpected. After all, it was Xiao Lv. White Jade Capital only has one Xiao Lv, and for Lingxiao Pavilion to defeat him, it may take Jiang Taie coming again in a few years.

This battle also quieted the prodigies questioning the Dao, reminding them to have some respect for White Jade Capital.

The students of White Jade Academy gazed in that direction, awaiting the challenges of these prodigies.

At this moment, an eye-catching golden beam of light shone from within the crowd, accompanied by a violent aura sweeping out. Everyone looked in that direction and saw a figure bathed in golden divine radiance, standing there like a Divine General.

"The Saint Heir from Tiandu Palace, Yun Tiancheng." The students of White Jade Academy looked at him. The current disturbance in Jade City was caused by the former Saint Son of Tiandu Palace.

Now, the new Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace has also set foot in White Jade Capital.

"I have a question." Yun Tiancheng's pupils seemed to turn golden as he looked at the students of White Jade Academy and asked, "Our former Saint Son of Tiandu Palace perished within Jade City, not far from White Jade Academy. What kind of place is White Jade Academy to let the perpetrator escape under their watch? Why did they open a great array and not capture the murderer?"

Upon hearing this, a ripple of emotions stirred among the crowd. This was a question on many minds. On the day the major incident occurred in Jade City, capturing Wen Ruyu should have been easy for White Jade Academy.

Everyone's gaze turned to Yan Chong, and Yun Tiancheng's eyes did as well. Yan Chong stood there nonchalantly, glancing at Yun Tiancheng and said, "Are you questioning White Jade Academy?"

A calm voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure, instantly suppressing the aura Yun Tiancheng emitted, yet his gaze remained sharp. He said, "I am merely puzzled and wish to seek guidance."

"Your Saint Son of Tiandu Palace was killed. What does that have to do with White Jade Academy? Why should we capture the murderer for you? Do you Tiandu Palace folks think so highly of yourselves?"

Yan Chong's voice turned a few degrees colder, enveloping Yun Tiancheng in an invisible pressure, and said, "Go back and ask your Palace Master of Tiandu Palace if he dares to speak like this at White Jade Capital."

The immense pressure forced Yun Tiancheng to step back, his expression becoming stiff and awkward. Those around looked at him with sympathy.

This young Saint Heir seemed to have forgotten where he was. The people here are all top prodigies, naturally proud and arrogant, Yun Tiancheng included.

But this is White Jade Capital.

White Jade Capital never lacks in talents.

"But the Commandery Princess was also involved." Yun Tiancheng's eyes didn't retreat as he stared at Yan Chong. The atmosphere around Yan Chong turned colder, suggesting pressure from the court on White Jade Capital.

"Insolent."

A reprimanding voice came from behind the crowd. As they turned, they saw a few figures approaching, and the one who scolded was none other than the Emperor of Da Li, Ye Yunke.

Ye Yunke, along with Liu Qingwu from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and others, also arrived. However, they did not come to question the Dao but merely to visit. Given their status, White Jade Academy naturally would not stop them.

"White Jade Academy is the number one holy land of cultivation in Da Li, nurturing countless prodigies. Not to mention the Commandery Princess, even if a prince perishes, it is up to the academy's will to decide what to do. How dare you speak so arrogantly?" Ye Yunke stepped forward and stared at Yun Tiancheng.

Yun Tiancheng's expression became even more awkward. He had already offended White Jade Academy, and now, even the Emperor of Da Li reprimanded him, leaving him with no room to argue. Otherwise, he would offend people on both sides.

His eye twitched, and he clenched his fists. As the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace, today's visit was filled with humiliation.

During the questioning, he was insulted by Li Fan, and now, continuously reprimanded, his reputation was tarnished.

The crowd also looked at him with sympathy. Today, Yun Tiancheng was truly unfortunate.

"Clown." A faint voice came forth, as Qi Zhanyun glanced at him disdainfully, standing with folded arms, showing a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Ye Yunke greets Mr. Yan." Ye Yunke stepped forward and bowed to Yan Chong. Yan Chong returned the gesture, saying, "Your Highness is too kind."

Ye Yunke then looked at Mu Changqing beside Yan Chong, scrutinizing him before smiling, "I presume this is the legendary Mr. Mu?"

Mu Changqing nodded slightly toward Ye Yunke, acknowledging him.

"Since I came to question the Dao, shouldn't I have the right to 'ask'?" A voice interrupted from the side. They looked at Yun Tiancheng, who was still standing proudly with a golden glow, asserting that he had the right to question the Dao, even if it offended everyone.

"If you want to question the Dao, then ask. Who do you want to challenge?" Yan Chong replied unceremoniously. While guests were welcome, those who came to question would not be entertained casually.

Yun Tiancheng's gaze swept across the people of White Jade Academy before finally resting on a figure not far from him.

Li Fan seemed to sense something, turned his head, and saw Yun Tiancheng's sharp gaze, filled with a desire for battle.

Li Fan: "?"

"Before anything else, there's one more matter to handle." Yun Tiancheng said, "Yun Tiancheng, Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace, will send you back."

As his words fell, his body soared upward, rushing into the sky.

Suspended in mid-air, Yun Tiancheng looked down below. The Great Dao Wheel appeared, lighting up numerous patterns, resembling Divine Generals who might walk out at any moment.

"Let's settle our matters first." Yun Tiancheng stared at Li Fan.

"Does he think you're easier to bully?" Qi Zhanyun asked the Li Fan beside him.

"Shouldn't you be easier to bully?" Li Fan replied.

Qi Zhanyun: "?"

Looking down on people?

But what he said seemed to make some sense?

"Be a bit careful, without the constraints of the array, Yun Tiancheng's Daoist Skill attacks should be very strong." Qi Zhanyun reminded.

"As you said, just a clown. I'll be back shortly." Li Fan said. With that, he flicked his sleeve and rose straight into the sky.

"So arrogant." Qi Zhanyun was taken aback, dumbfounded as he watched Li Fan's figure.

He was just saying it; did Li Fan take it seriously?

The crowd turned their gaze skyward. With Yun Tiancheng repeatedly humiliated, he was likely feeling humiliated and looking for someone to vent on?

"If you're going to fight, be careful not to knock down my academy buildings." Yan Chong casually reminded, for if the Dao Body Realm fought with full force, the commotion would be significant.

Xiao Lv and An Zhiyao also approached Yan Chong at this time. Both Xiao Lv and An Zhiyao greeted Mu Changqing and Ye Yunke: "Mr. Mu, Your Highness."

Mu Changqing courteously returned the greeting. Ye Yunke smiled and said, "I've long heard of Xiao and An's names, and today, meeting you, you're even more impressive than I imagined."

"Your Highness is too kind." Xiao Lv responded, then looked at An Zhiyao and asked, "Did these two have a conflict during the inquiry?"

"There was a clash." An Zhiyao nodded, looking toward Li Fan's side.

"Who will win?" Xiao Lv asked.

"The former Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace was killed, and Yun Tiancheng is eager to prove himself, but he chose the wrong opponent." An Zhiyao said softly, "He will undoubtedly lose, and lose miserably."

"Tiandu Palace this time, miserable." Ye Yunke also laughed.

"Oh?" Xiao Lv curiously asked, "Why do you say that?"

"When he passed the final stage of the staircase, he led two girls beside him and stormed through in an instant with movement technique." An Zhiyao said, and Xiao Lv was taken aback, looking at Li Fan more seriously.

That ladder checkpoint he knew well, passing in an instant?

That can't be done with just movement technique alone.

Ye Yunke listened quietly. With An Zhiyao's evaluation, Li Fan must have extraordinary abilities.

Mu Changqing also looked up in that direction, thinking there are truly many geniuses in Da Li.

Li Fan soared into the sky, an immensely oppressive aura approached. Above him, Yun Tiancheng's Dharma Form was sky-shattering, and the Great Dao Wheel displayed the forms of all beings. Within the Dharma Form, a gigantic figure of a Divine General appeared, standing tall behind him.

Then, figures of Divine Generals appeared one after another, forming a line, overlooking the space below, the scene was terrifying.

"Tiandu Palace's Divine Massacre, Yun Tiancheng has mastered it." The crowd thought to themselves, witnessing the scene before them. The divine might descended, resplendent golden divine radiance piercing through heaven and earth, the line of Divine Generals raised long spears in their hands.

"You dare to inquire with me." A voice reverberated in the sky, like the voice of a Heavenly God. All the Divine Generals simultaneously thrust their divine spears, golden brilliance pierced through that side of the sky, and everyone could only see gigantic golden divine spears passing through, trying to pin Li Fan in the air.

"Boom..." The golden beam shot into the sky, and the loud dragon's roar made the high sky tremble. The terrifying aura on Li Fan shot straight into the clouds, and the myriad divine spears struck, piercing the golden dragon's body.

The golden dragon wrapped around Li Fan's body as if it were one with him.

Li Fan looked up at Yun Tiancheng, the golden dragon continuing upward, enveloping his body. He gazed at Yun Tiancheng with contempt, "A person should know their limits, and it seems you do not."
