Chapter 712: The Dilemma of the Transcendent Beings
"Do you really think our Witch Academy has no temper? Playing tricks right under our noses."
The Transcendent Witch who had first tried to stop the match was thwarted, and her tone imdiately shifted.
She hadn't expected soone would dare to obstruct her actions!
Just now, when she tried to stop the Nightmare Demon's action, she was stopped by another force.
"The examinees' actions are currently in full compliance with the rules and regulations. Do you Transcendent Witches really want to personally negate the efficacy of the Witch's Contract!"
Neither side yielded in their confrontation.
In just a few words, the issue had been elevated to one of racial principle.
The efficacy of the Witch's Contract, as the "credit" of the Witch race in the Void, could not be destroyed by their hands.
"Are you even worthy to bring up our Witch's Contract?"
The Witch did not give the opponent any chance to explain.
"If anything truly happens to Xiao Han in this Joint Exam, our Witch Academy will pursue it to the end! We will not spare a single person involved."
At this mont, another Witch stepped forward and forcibly suppressed the Nightmare Demon to the ground.
The Transcendent beings from the other Transcendent Academies sighed, seeing how fast the Witches acted.
They wondered if the Nightmare Demon had managed to kill the opponent in such an extrely limited ti.
"You!"
The Transcendent Dragon-person from the Dragon Blood Academy, who stood in the lead position, looked at the Witch in shock.
"Are you going to ignore the principle of non-interference by Transcendent beings and attack students, just for the sake of one student! This is rely a small squabble at the student level!"
"A small squabble? Then can you explain why this thing appeared on his body?"
At this mont, Lina also stepped forward.
With a wave of her hand, she lifted the thoroughly suppressed Nightmare Demon.
She was using the Dream State Spell, which was the most suitable for dealing with a Nightmare Demon that could shuttle between the Dream State and reality.
If she didn't use this Spell, she would have to use other ans, which would be more troubleso, as not every Witch had studied the Dream State.
"A Nightmare Demon? That's an Abyssal Demon item; what does that have to do with us?"
"This thing was on your student, and it's not just him…"
Lina waved her hand again, and several figures were pulled out at this mont.
Accompanied by several sounds, the figures of Nightmare Demons floated up from these people's bodies!
"What about these people?"
"This can only prove that the Abyssal Demons had malicious intent, feigning an invasion of the Expansion Realm, but essentially trying to sneak in Nightmare Demons to disrupt our Joint Exam."
At this mont, a Transcendent Wizard from the Wizard Academy shalessly spoke up to explain to the crowd.
After he finished speaking, many people inwardly sighed, comnting that the Wizards were indeed shaless.
"You've cleanly absolved your students with one sentence."
At this mont, Lina was practically laughing in anger at the Wizards' statent.
"Doesn't your Witch Academy also have students like this? Or is this a performance directed and acted by your Witch Academy, trying to pick a fight?"
The Wizards pointed at a few of the people who had just been pulled out.
These few were indeed students of the Witch Academy.
"If that's the case! Then your Witch Academy's conduct is far too unsightly!"
As the topic shifted, the people from the other Transcendent Academies also began to bla the Witch Academy.
For a mont, the scene beca chaotic.
It was evident that the various Transcendent Academies were extrely restrained.
Despite the tense atmosphere where a Transcendent War could erupt at any mont, precisely in this situation, not a single person made a move.
Although theoretically the other Transcendent Academies were in the wrong in this union, legally, they operated completely within the rules!
Not to ntion the Witch's Contract for this Joint Exam, this matter was not a violation.
If they wanted to pursue the Abyssal Demons, the Witches had also consented to the Abyssal Demons entering the Expansion Realm.
Although… the Abyssal Demons paid a price that even made them feel a heartache.
But compared to this price, killing an existence with infinite potential for the Witch race, one who was highly likely to beco a Truth Witch in the future… then all of this was worth it.
They could not stand by and watch the Witch race produce another Truth Witch.
They preferred to see those ordinary Witches; no matter how strong they were or how much they wandered and caused trouble in the Void, they were rely oversized babies who inherited the Witch race's heritage and posed no threat.
But they would not allow the Witch race to have another figure like a Truth Witch appear!
Talent could be seen from the beginning.
A diocre person who advances to Transcendent remains diocre; a person of genius, even if not Transcendent, is still dazzling.
Every appearance of a Truth Witch represented an ascent for the Witch race.
They were envious and truly could not tolerate this.
"Enough! This Joint Exam is still ongoing, and your Witch Academy is acting so aggressively for one student…"
"Shut up, bird-man! Is this your place to talk!"
The Witch side interrupted the other's words, showing no respect to the Holy Angel.
"Arguing is aningless. We are here to solve the problem, but your Witches make us feel as if you are trying to solve us!"
"If that's what you think, we Transcendent Witches wouldn't mind doing so. Want to try?"
Accompanied by Lina's overbearing reply and her fully aggressive gaze, she actually scared the murmuring Holy Angel into silence.
The conversation was only able to continue after another person stepped forward to diate.
"Alright, listen to . This matter, at its root, is rely a dispute between students. Why elevate it to this height? If the students of the various academies see this, they might think the ntors of the Witch Academy lack composure."
"This matter originated from the Nightmare Demon. After the Joint Exam ends, we can directly question the Abyssal Demons together. Why should we argue here and let those Abyssal Demons laugh at us?"
"How about we resurrect the dead person and end this matter for now? We'll discuss the later issues then, how about that?"
"Good."
At this mont, a voice agreed to the suggestion put forward by the opponent, and even the Transcendent who made the suggestion was montarily stunned.
After all, they had only said it casually.
They didn't think the Witches would hand over the corpse to them for resurrection.
The Witches knew exactly what they were trying to do, otherwise, they wouldn't have collectively appeared and made their move the mont the incident occurred.
The convergence of so many Transcendent Witches also showed them just how seriously they regarded this Prospective Witch who had not yet advanced to Transcendent Witch!
But the more importance the opponent placed on her, the more it proved that they were right to act.
If the Transcendent beings did not intervene, and it was just a small student squabble, then those academies and Teaching Assistants would need to rely on the power of the Nightmare Demon to completely eliminate the Soul-substance.
But with Transcendent beings making a move… it wouldn't be so troubleso.
A Transcendent being could completely erase a Soul-substance life with a wave of a hand; there was no need for the complication of a Nightmare Demon.
This was a Dinsionality Reduction Attack of the Transcendent against the non-Transcendent!
But when they saw the figure who spoke those words, many people imdiately shivered.
Because the Witch who said "Good" was the Head of the Witch Academy—i Linde!
Many Transcendent beings subconsciously shivered at the sight of such an Over-spec Witch, as if the image of her using the Great Weakening Spell to suppress them in the Main World resurfaced in their minds.
Even though she had caused her Grand Spellbook to break, the Great Weakening Spell in the Core Realm of the Main World still suppressed them to this day.
No one dared to underestimate such a Witch.
Even though she had lost her Grand Spellbook, or rather, precisely because she had lost her Grand Spellbook, she was able to suppress the inner restlessness within her for so many years in the Main World.
Many firmly believed that the her of the present was more terrifying than the her of the past!
"You… you… i Linde? How could you be here!"
"Why can't I be here?"
i Linde's appearance here was extrely casual.
Appearing with her were a few other Witches who seed to be just watching the spectacle, but among this group of Witches, there was also one holding a long saber, whose expression was too serious to be just watching the show.
"i Linde, as the Head of the Witch Academy, do you intend to forcefully interfere with this matter?"
"Of course. This matter involves a Lesser Witch acknowledged by our Witches. As the Academy Head, I naturally have to co and see what the reason is."
"Lesser Witch?!"
Hearing this title, many of the Transcendent beings present frowned.
However, there wasn't much shock on the Witch Academy's side.
After all, the title of Honorary Lesser Witch certified by the contract was sothing everyone knew about.
Even if they didn't know about it, eting Xiao Han allowed the Witches to feel the recognition of a "kindred spirit" from the contract's witnessing.
The Transcendent beings from other Transcendent Academies felt a bad premonition.
Lesser Witch… if they rembered correctly, wasn't that the state of a Transcendent Witch after falling from Transcendent status?
If that were truly the case, then they had a problem.
The Witches' protectiveness was notorious.
Even if they lost the status of a Transcendent Witch and beca a Lesser Witch, they were still a kindred spirit acknowledged by the Witches.
They would even voluntarily sign a Lesser Witch Mutual Aid Association contract, transforming from racial identification to contractual identification, the kind that would be even less likely to betray than a Transcendent Witch.
"Yes, Teaching Assistant Yang Yuehan of the Witch Academy has signed the Lesser Witch Mutual Aid Association contract under the witness of all of us Transcendent Witches and the Primal Witch Lord, becoming an Honorary Lesser Witch. If you didn't hear clearly, I can explain it to you again."
i Linde spoke.
This was the first ti Academy Head i had publicly announced this status.
Previously, this news had only circulated among the Transcendent Witch collective.
And at this mont, the students who were too oppressed by the Transcendent aura to stand up… although they didn't understand what was happening, they roughly guessed that the identity of the Teaching Assistant nad Yang Yuehan… was extrely extraordinary?
After all, a person who could have so many Transcendent ntors standing up for her couldn't possibly be simple!
And at this mont, the other Transcendent beings who understood were also getting a headache.
They hadn't expected the implication of the matter to be so imnse; Academy Head i Linde had even brought up the "Primal Witch"!
However, i Linde wasn't wrong.
She had indeed obtained that contract from the Primal Witch, and it genuinely had the signed certification of the Primal Witch Lord.
There was truly nothing wrong with this.
"Then what do you intend to do!"
At this mont, a Transcendent from the Wizard Academy pushed through the pressure, asking with a gloomy expression.
"What do I intend to do?"
i Linde spoke word by word, looking at the Transcendent Wizard.
"Of course, it's just as you said just now: resurrect Xiao Han and put this matter aside for now. We will settle the subsequent accounts slowly. If you can't, then just wait to bear the wrath of us Transcendent Witches!"
"Why should we bear the responsibility! This was clearly done by the Abyssal Demons!"
"Who did it, and who participated in doing it, we and you are both clearly aware of it."
"Where is the evidence! Without evidence, how can you…"
"Do Witches need evidence to act? Do you want the evidence obtained by killing you and then searching your soul? Don't worry, we will resurrect you afterward, but if the evidence truly indicates a connection with you… Hehe."
"You! You Witches…"
It was obvious that this Wizard was so enraged by i Linde's shaless conduct that he couldn't even speak smoothly.
Although these were things that everyone knew, the Witches' refusal to play by the book and follow the default rules… truly left them helpless.
They were such an unreasonable group of people!
The only ti they would reason… was on the Witch's Contract!
"Stop the nonsense. The opportunity has been given to you. Weren't you the ones just now clamoring to quickly end this boring dispute?"
i Linde waved her hand, and the "corpse" lying on the ground slowly floated in front of them.
At this mont, a dilemma appeared before them.
They weren't entirely sure if that Nightmare Demon had completely killed the Soul-substance of this… Lesser Witch.
But that was no longer important.
What was important was whether they could truly resurrect her when they perford the resurrection later.
If they couldn't, they might directly bear the wrath of the Transcendent Witches, and this matter would absolutely not be resolved today!
If they could resurrect her… then their elaborate plan and layout would be a joke.
But even so, they still had two choices.
The control of the resurrection was currently with them.
They could easily strike and completely kill her during the resurrection process; the Witches wouldn't have ti to stop them.
But doing this would have even more severe consequences than failing to resurrect her!
But should they just resurrect this "Lesser Witch" and let the matter go?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
They only had one choice from beginning to end…
To prevent the resurgence of the Witch race.
For this, they could sacrifice their lives.
They were rely Transcendent beings stationed in the Main World.
They believed that the Great World of their races would rember their contribution and take good care of their kin for the sacrifice they made.
"… The matter of resurrection… should be handled by the Holy Angel Academy. As a Transcendent race that believes in Holy Light, they are more skilled in the ans of life and resurrection."
Under such imnse pressure, this Transcendent Wizard finally succumbed and tossed the responsibility to the Holy Angel side!
After all, the Wizards and Holy Angels were already at odds.
"You!"
At this mont, the Holy Angel, who had originally intended to remain a neutral observer and objectively watch the show, was suddenly called out.
The Holy Angel collective instantly beca uneasy.
In just an instant, they realized that the Wizard Academy was trying to shift the trouble onto the Holy Angel side!
If this Lesser Witch could indeed be resurrected, then the "villain" who completely killed this Lesser Witch would have to be played by them, the Holy Angels!
How did this scapegoat role fall to them?
This wasn't how the plan was discussed initially…
Damn it!
However… they had no reason to refuse, because the Holy Angel's understanding of resurrection… was indeed top-tier.
After all, for them to cultivate believers, healing, limb regeneration, and even miracles like resurrection were basic operations.
Therefore, the Holy Angels could definitely be said to be very proficient in resurrecting a non-Transcendent being.
At this mont, i Linde also quietly took two steps back, coming to Bai Yu's side.
She gently placed her hand on Bai Yu's shoulder, as if gesturing for her not to act rashly.
Bai Yu turned her head to look at the opponent.
Through her extrely angry expression, her eyes revealed a calm and collected inner being.
Just like she had said to Cheryl earlier, she believed in Xiao Han!
Yes, she believed in Xiao Han, but Xiao Han's "death" was a fact.
Even if this matter were to be resolved now, she would still not let go of the people in front of her… everyone.
Bai Yu was the Witch who was most certain that Xiao Han was not truly dead, followed by i Linde.
Was Xiao Han really dead?
How could that be?
The Myriad Connection Main Network Tree in the Expansion Realm was still operating, and the Power Network maintaining the Joint Exam had not collapsed either.
These technologies and techniques built upon Xiao Han's Domain Order were sufficient proof that Xiao Han was still alive in another form, and living very well.
But they had to play the part fully.
Since Xiao Han was so cooperative, how could they disappoint this extra goodwill?
And more importantly, these two Witches also knew another concept.
That was the "Dwelling of the Soul" Dream State Space, ford by Xiao Han's Authority of the Dream State from her Great Project of the Soul.
Therefore, even Transcendent beings, trying to completely kill Xiao Han right under their noses, was absolutely impossible!
