"Did you ask your dean before coming here so arrogantly?"

This voice resonated fiercely in the hall, causing many to be taken aback. What kind of status does the dean of the Emperor Star Academy hold? Even if the Emperor Star Academy in Fengzhou City is just a branch, how many have ever seen the dean?

Even though Tuoba Lei is surrounded by countless glories, he has still never seen the dean. Yet, today, Mo Hanshan asked if he consulted their dean before coming here arrogantly. Doesn't that sound absurd?

Could Mo Hanshan know the dean of the Emperor Star Academy? That's simply impossible. How could such a mysterious person be someone Mo Hanshan wants to know and then magically gets to know?

"Your words are indeed laughable. You think that just because Tianyu International has some business dealings with Star Academy, you can use the dean's name to suppress me?" Tuoba Lei's eyes flickered coldly as he continued to stare at Mo Hanshan, "I don't want to blow this matter out of proportion. Release my brother, abolish your cultivation, and this matter will be settled!"

Abolish my cultivation?

Tuoba Lei's words are undeniably arrogant and domineering, asking Mo Hanshan, the general manager of Tianyu International, to abolish his cultivation, as if it was Tuoba Lei bestowing grace upon him.

"People from Emperor Star Academy are indeed arrogant!"

"I wish I could be enveloped in an aura like Tuoba Lei's!"

"He's relying on talent, isn't he? He's a proud inner sect disciple of Emperor Star Academy. His brilliance shines wherever he goes!"

"That's true!"

"..."

Tuoba Lei's words echoed in everyone's mind. Today, Tuoba Lei descended on Tianyu International and directly demanded Mo Hanshan to abolish his cultivation, unyielding in his dominance. But so what? Could Mo Hanshan dare to contend against Emperor Star Academy?

Mo Hanshan realized the difficulty in controlling today's situation, so he glanced at the middle-aged manager behind him, who immediately understood.

Mo Hanshan originally didn't want to inform Xiao Tianyu about the situation here, but he couldn't afford any mishap concerning Xiao Ziyan.

Then, Mo Hanshan's gaze locked onto Tuoba Lei, the murderous intent blatant. Tuoba Cheng had already offended the eldest lady of Tianyu International and deserved death; how laughable it was for Tuoba Lei to ask him to abolish his cultivation?

Thus, Mo Hanshan proclaimed, "The moment you uttered those words, your fate was sealed. As for your brother offending the eldest lady of Tianyu International, he is on a path to death!"

Hmm?

Upon hearing, Tuoba Lei's brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes shot out a cold beam. He never expected Mo Hanshan to still dare to speak insolently, threatening his brother Tuoba Cheng's life, which was quite laughable to him.

However, the next second, Mo Hanshan's large hand directly clasped Tuoba Cheng's throat, rendering him stupidly agape: "You've gone mad! You dare kill me? If I die, my brother won't spare you. You're a madman! Release me, release me..."

"A lowly person like you, even if your brother descends, even if the dean of Emperor Star Academy were to appear, it wouldn't save you. Today, I will teach you a lesson with your life; others can't insult the eldest lady of Tianyu International!" Mo Hanshan's voice boomed into everyone's ears.

Witnessing this scene, Tuoba Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He coldly said, "If you dare kill him, I'll make everyone in Tianyu International pay with their lives. You better not doubt my words!"

Tuoba Lei's words remained extremely strong, as he couldn't believe Mo Hanshan dared to kill Tuoba Cheng unless he disregarded the lives of Tianyu International.

"Threaten? Do you even qualify?" Mo Hanshan snorted, leaving everyone astonished. No one knew where Mo Hanshan's confidence came from.

"Mo Hanshan, you can't kill me! If I die, you won't have a good end either, and Xiao Ziyan behind you will also have to accompany me in death!" Tuoba Cheng struggled, unwilling to die, as he was the young master of the Tuoba Family, with a bright future ahead.

"Even if you died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be worth one strand of the eldest lady's hair at Tianyu International!" Mo Hanshan's voice boomed, knowing that if he couldn't ensure Xiao Ziyan's safety today, he would be inescapably culpable. So, today, Tuoba Cheng must die.

"How dare you!" Tuoba Lei took a step forward, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

Tuoba Cheng struggled and shouted, "Brother, save me!"

Crack~

A crisp sound resonated in everyone's eardrum, and they saw Tuoba Cheng's throat bone being crushed by Mo Hanshan, blood gushing from his mouth. His eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe that even with his brother's presence, he couldn't be saved.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Mo Hanshan released his grip, and Tuoba Cheng's corpse fell at Mo Hanshan's feet, with a couple of twitches, eyes wide open even in death.

Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered, equally shocked by the scene in front of her. Mo Hanshan now self-aware of his weakness, dared to kill Tuoba Cheng. Why? Is it really because I am the eldest lady of Tianyu International?

She didn't understand and didn't comprehend what relationship she had with Tianyu International that made Mo Hanshan protect her at all costs, not allowing others to insult her.

"Killed!"

"Mo Hanshan really killed Tuoba Cheng. How dare he?"

"Is Tianyu International really not afraid of disappearing in Fengzhou City's domain?"

"..."

The young masters of various families equally showed shock in their demeanor, even contemplating that if they had insulted Xiao Ziyan, would Mo Hanshan take similar measures, risking everything to kill them? Probably, yes.

Woosh~

At this moment, Tuoba Lei eyed Tuoba Cheng lying on the ground, a murderous aura overwhelming, with vengeance evident in his gaze.

Tuoba Cheng was not only one of the Tuoba Family but was also his brother, and yet today, here, someone dared to kill him in Tuoba Lei's presence—how could he swallow this rage?

"Courting death!"

Tuoba Lei shouted, as the two guardians behind him stepped forward in unison, unleashing an Earth Level Realm aura, pressing towards Mo Hanshan, who remained composed, staring at the two.

Mo Hanshan spoke, "The Emperor Star Academy has ordered you two to protect Tuoba Lei; have you considered what grave mistake Tuoba Lei committed today?"

Upon hearing this, the two Earth Level Realm experts from Emperor Star Academy remained indifferent to Mo Hanshan, clearly treating his words as mere noise, as they advanced further.

"Grab that woman for me!" Tuoba Lei's voice roared angrily, "Since my brother died because of this woman, she will come with me to Tuoba Family, and I will see who dares stop me!"

Tuoba Lei's voice was oppressive, making Xiao Ziyan's face pale, as she never expected a banquet today to leave her in danger. The faces of these people sickened her, but what could she do? The situation was stronger than others, as people said, the decline of the Xiao Family made everyone bully them.

At this very moment, Xiao Ziyan's mind flashed back to the night something happened in the Xiao Family, that disguised young man was her second brother Xiao Yun, already a Saint Heaven Realm expert, who killed the Xiao Family's ancestor and also her eldest brother Xiao Sheng.
