Young Master in Flower City

The elder was completely bewildered, clearly aware of the strength of his attack just now, yet it did nothing to his opponent. In fact, the opponent seemed immune.

"Courting death!" Another person shouted angrily, lunging at Xiao Tianyu and raising a palm to strike him.

Xiao Tianyu shifted his gaze, twisted his large hand, and a storm swept across. The next second, the elder's body uncontrollably began to levitate.

"Scram!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, and the elder's body was instantly flung towards a wall, crashing into it before falling to the ground.

So powerful.

This scene left everyone present dumbstruck. Is this some kind of remote attack?

Even Elder Xing's gaze was filled with shock at this moment. He truly didn't expect Xiao Tianyu to be so formidable, incapacitating two Celestial Realm experts with just a wave of his hand, striking decisively, and exploiting their weaknesses.

If it weren't for Xiao Tianyu having strong cultivation, it would have been because Xiao Tianyu was a natural-born fighter with a keen ability to catch his opponent's weaknesses, leaving them with no room to retaliate.

"Punish me? Do you have the authority?" Xiao Tianyu's gaze fixed on the elder in front of him.

At that moment, the elder's expression was unpleasant: "It's none of my business. I'm just following orders. The real culprit is the one with the staff; why don't you deal with him!"

Damn, are you kidding? The other side is so strong, can I afford not to give in? I've got family to take care of, and I don't want to die.

"Sixth Elder, you!" Elder Xing's face turned Tie Qing with anger.

"Elder Xing, this... this isn't my doing. You took a billion ancient coins from the Tuoba family, and you didn't give us a single cent. If we lose our lives over this, it really isn't worth it!"

Took a billion ancient coins from the Tuoba family?

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhengyun looked towards Elder Xing and said, "Is this the reason your Punishment Hall is so impartial?"

"Elder Zhan, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I possibly accept a billion ancient coins from the Tuoba family? He's trying to frame me!" Elder Xing's expression was slightly unpleasant, his eyes already betraying him.

"Is it really so?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was cold.

"Regardless, you killed a member of the Tuoba family, no, an inner sect disciple of Emperor Star Academy, and must be severely punished. If you know the consequences, you'd better submit to your punishment. The dignity of Emperor Star Academy is not something a mere Celestial Realm can defy!" Elder Xing's voice was commanding.

How could he admit to taking bribes? If those above pursued it, his position as Hall Master of the Punishment Hall would be in jeopardy.

Subsequently, Elder Xing sent a warning glance to the elder, as if to say, if you don't zip it, you might end up keeping it shut permanently.

Threatening.

This was a threat to the elder held by Xiao Tianyu.

But all of this was caught by Xiao Tianyu, who snorted coldly at the elder in front of him: "You'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, I can take your life today. If you don't believe me, try and see!"

Xiao Tianyu's words exuded a hint of authority, one that couldn't be defied.

"He doesn't dare!" Elder Xing snorted coldly.

He doesn't dare, really? The elder's eyes flickered. What if he really kills me? I'm not stupid enough to take that risk. Besides, I didn't get any money; dying like this would be too wrong.

Thinking of this, the elder spoke to Elder Xing: "Elder Xing, just admit it. After all, no one here dares to do anything to you!"

"How impudent!" Elder Xing shouted: "You dare slander me!"

With that, he swung the Punishment Staff towards the elder. This strike contained the force of ten thousand pounds, and if it landed on the elder, even nine lives wouldn't be enough.

"Trying to kill to silence?" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, his large hand blocking the elder behind him, then reached into the void with his right hand. With a bang, the Punishment Staff shattered instantly, turning into fragments.

Destroyed.

The Punishment Staff destroyed?

At this moment, all the powerful figures present were bewildered. The Punishment Staff was the highest authority of punishment in the Punishment Hall, yet it was destroyed. This matter has escalated beyond control, likely irreparably.

Elder Xing looked at the shattered Punishment Staff, his face exceptionally unsightly. He had wielded the Punishment Staff as Hall Master for over thirty years, like an Imperial Sword, free of any restraint, but now it was destroyed.

What does this mean? That Xiao Tianyu has committed an unforgivable crime.

So Elder Xing shouted: "How dare you destroy the Punishment Staff, today you must face judgment no matter who you are!"

"Judge me?" A glint of murder flashed in Xiao Tianyu's eyes: "Then you shall face judgment first. Regardless of whether the Tuoba family bribed you, your words alone are unforgivable!"

Xiao Tianyu's voice was deep and cold, as if starting to pronounce Elder Xing's sentence, making the crowd around him deeply shocked. He's going to judge the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall? This... is truly ignoring the presence of Emperor Star Academy.

"How arrogant!" Elder Xing shouted, unleashing the might of the Celestial Level Peak, then pointed to the sky, a spear blossoming with the aura of a swift strike, stabbing towards Xiao Tianyu.

This strike was meant to take Xiao Tianyu's life.

"Elder Xing, you're being reckless!" Zhan Zhengyun shouted, stepping forward, unleashing the might of the Celestial Level Peak and pressing towards Elder Xing, who turned his gaze to Zhan Zhengyun, coldly saying: "This child is rebellious, destroying the Punishment Staff. Is Elder Zhan still going to speak for him?"

"You also know the Punishment Staff is destroyed?" Zhan Zhengyun snorted coldly, raising his hand to extinguish Elder Xing's attack. He continued: "The Punishment Staff is destroyed because of you. Don't think I don't know your strike just now was to silence by killing, and you didn't expect the Punishment Staff to be destroyed because of it!"

"Now that the Punishment Staff is gone, you are no longer qualified to wield it, and the dean should decide!" Zhan Zhengyun said with determination, each word profound and resonating. He said: "As the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, accepting bribes and flouting the law, I think the seriousness of this matter, Elder Xing, you understand better than anyone!"

"I did not take bribes!" Elder Xing snorted coldly.

"Elder Xing, just admit it!" The elder spoke up.

Earlier, Elder Xing tried to kill him with the Punishment Staff, clearly aiming to silence him. If Xiao Tianyu hadn't blocked the blow, destroying the Punishment Staff, he might have died by now, so naturally, he wouldn't speak for Elder Xing.

"You dare to slander me, you're asking for death!" With that, Elder Xing took a step forward, reaching out to grab the elder.

Zhan Zhengyun shouted: "Elder Xing, if you didn't accept bribes, checking your bank account would reveal the truth. Why not turn over your accounts, and if you've done nothing, you'll surely be exonerated!"
