"Protect the disciples of our academy!"
The Dean's voice was vast, carrying an unparalleled aura. At this point, all they could do was buy time for the many students.
"Kill them all!"
Tie Tou's expression was cold. "To dare oppose the Eighth Prince's Mansion means only death."
The Dark Shadow Guards nodded in unison. Their figures moved like phantoms, vanishing from their positions in the blink of an eye. When they reappeared, several elders had already fallen.
Witnessing the scene, the students of Beihai Academy were even more horrified. They never expected the elders of Beihai Academy to be so vulnerable, utterly useless against the Dark Shadow Guards.
"Hurry, leave Beihai Academy!"
Bi Yao's voice rang out, her eyes filled with despair. She never imagined Beihai Academy would face such a catastrophe.
The students of Beihai Academy were indignant. "We absolutely cannot leave! We must fight them to the death. They killed our elders and humiliated Beihai Academy! How can we retreat?"
"As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. The elders chose to sacrifice themselves to preserve our lives."
Bi Yao said, "Everyone, leave Beihai Academy as quickly as possible. When the time is right, we must avenge today's grievances!"
The students looked at the scene with helplessness, unable to do anything. They were acutely aware that their strength was insufficient for anything significant.
After all, even the elders could be easily killed in an instant. The power of these dark figures was immense.
As the disciples departed, Bi Yao finally felt relieved. Her mission was to ensure the disciples' escape, thereby preserving the lifeline of Beihai Academy.
Seeing the elders perish, the Dean was consumed by grief. He soared into the sky, like a pillar of fire, emanating a powerful aura, instantly releasing the majesty of a Spiritual Emperor realm expert.
"Spiritual Emperor realm!"
Tie Tou let out a cold laugh. "Indeed, you have some strength, but it's only some strength. How can you protect Beihai Academy by yourself?"
Tie Tou stepped forward instantly, charging towards the Dean. He was convinced that no one could stop him from achieving his goals.
*Boom…*
The two figures collided, causing the very space to tremble. At that moment, the hearts of the elders were greatly shaken. They could sense that the Dean had exerted his full strength, yet they never expected him to be so vulnerable before Tie Tou. He was sent flying directly backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Master!"
Bi Yao cried out and rushed forward. Looking at the Dean, she was filled with profound grief. The dignified Dean of the academy could only meet his end today.
Gazing at the devastated Beihai Academy, the Beihai Dean couldn't help but offer a bitter smile, looking at Bi Yao. "Hurry and go, don't let them capture you!"
"Master, if this vengeance is not repaid, I swear I will not be human!" Bi Yao's expression was solemn.
"This little girl speaks well, but do you think you can leave alive?"
Tie Tou smiled faintly, his expression growing colder. In his eyes, these people were mere playthings. As long as he wished, not a single one could escape safely.
Despite the elders' full efforts, it was all in vain. They were not on the same level. These Dark Shadow Guards of the Eighth Prince's Mansion had likely all reached the Spiritual Emperor realm. Each expert possessed Imperial realm power, far beyond what they could contend with.
Apart from a few students who managed to escape Beihai Academy, most were slaughtered on the spot. The entire Beihai Academy was strewn with corpses, the air thick with the scent of blood.
Bi Yao clutched her long sword, looking at Tie Tou with righteous indignation. "You will die a horrible death! The students who escaped Beihai Academy will surely seek revenge on you, and you will face endless trouble!"
"With you lot of trash?"
Tie Tou immediately sneered. "You think too highly of yourselves. Even your Dean died by my hand. How can you possibly be my opponent? I see you have some beauty; why don't you come with me? I can spare your life!"
Bi Yao's expression was cold. "You killed my master, destroyed my academy. Even if I die, I will never yield to you."
"Since that is the case, then die!" Tie Tou's expression was indifferent, and a powerful force surged forth, striking towards Bi Yao.
Bi Yao resisted with all her might, but she knew very well that with her current strength, she could not possibly withstand Tie Tou's strike.
*Boom…*
At that very moment, a crashing sound echoed again. Bi Yao's figure did not retreat; instead, Tie Tou was violently repelled backward, as if he had suffered a severe injury, his face turning pale. Su Dan Novel Network.
"The sea of suffering is boundless; return to the shore. Benefactor, why must you create such bloodshed!"
A woman, dressed in plain clothes, slowly appeared above Beihai Academy. The power that had just struck was her doing.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Eighth Prince's Mansion?"
Tie Tou looked at the woman, his eyes showing a cold glint, but he dared not act rashly. The woman's casual strike had repelled him. Such formidable strength made him feel utterly outmatched.
"This old nun is merely an ordinary person who cannot bear to witness such bloodshed!" The Southern Sea Divine Nun spoke. "Perhaps you could spare this young benefactor, and in doing so, accumulate merit and virtue."
"You old nun, you speak quite rudely. We are from the Eighth Prince's Mansion. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly!" a Dark Shadow Guard said. "Otherwise, we will make you pay the price someday."
"Amitabha, Amitabha."
The Southern Sea Divine Nun chanted Buddhist phrases and, with a swift wave of her hand, she and Bi Yao vanished from Beihai Academy.
Seeing the old nun's miraculous abilities, Tie Tou was somewhat shocked, wondering who this remarkable woman was to possess such power.
"Captain, what should we do now? This old nun is so powerful, and where can we find her?" asked a Dark Shadow Guard.
"Such divine power is not something we can provoke."
Tie Tou waved his hand. "Even if one person is rescued, what does it matter?"
The others nodded slightly, largely agreeing with Tie Tou's words.
"You all quickly go and deal with the remaining people of Beihai Academy. If the roots are not removed, they will grow back with the spring breeze," Tie Tou commanded. "Allow no one to escape, not even if you have to search the entire White Dragon Dynasty."
"Your subordinates obey!" The Dark Shadow Guards quickly bowed.
In a mountain range not far from Beihai Academy, the Southern Sea Divine Nun appeared, with Bi Yao beside her. "You are safe here!"
"Thank you for your rescue, Senior!"
Bi Yao quickly cupped her fists, immensely grateful. Had it not been for the Southern Sea Divine Nun, she would likely have met her demise.
"No need for thanks. It is enough that you are safe!" The Southern Sea Divine Nun's expression was calm as she prepared to turn and leave.
"Senior, my sect has been destroyed, and I have nowhere to go. I wish to become your disciple!" Bi Yao hurried forward.
