Chapter 507: Chapter 21: Daddy and Old Ancestor are here_2
“Elder Shang, you truly disappoint , as does your Primordial Water lineage.”
Wang Liyao shook her head and sighed.
“The Academic Palace is known for accepting disciples from humble backgrounds, not judging heroes by their lineage, and is respected and admired. Once one joins the Academic Palace, they are considered disciples of the Palace; considered brothers internally and they share honor or disgrace, lending support to each other in tis of crisis. However, that seems to have changed with you.”
“What does my supposed guilt have to do with my background?”
“If I, Wang Liyao, co from a high-tier family, would you think twice before crossing ? If I co from a humble background, would that give you the liberty to oppress without discerning right from wrong?”
“Since you showed up, did you ever properly investigate the matter? You’ve judged based on Shang Lexian’s one-sided account and think you can suppress just because I don’t have anyone to back up?”
...
Her remarks left Elder Shang’s expression shifting between surprise and disapproval.
The other elders exchanged embarrassed glances as well.
The Academic Palace of today had beco increasingly rcenary, far removed from its original ideals when it was first established.
“Girl, I don’t care about your family background or whether you are a Great Heavenly Proud. You’ve vexed , and I’m caught in an undesirable situation. Nevertheless, I have to insist that I suspect you of stealing the secret scriptures of the Academic Palace. If you do not willingly surrender and co with to the Law Enforcent Hall, I will suppress you.”
At this point, he had no other option but to stick to his guns.
If it turns out she indeed stole from the palace, it would please everyone and he would be hailed as a hero. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, he can hold his head high and answer even to a Master from the Primordial Water line, with the Academic Palace to back him up.”
“I’ve lived for three hundred years, and while my ability may not match those of Sky Prides, I am well versed in ergency tactics. It’s not a skill those Sky Prides can compare.”
What’s more, if he were to back down now and couldn’t even suppress a girl at the Spiritual Platform stage, he’d lose face and authority, and he’d hardly carry on within the ranks of the Tian Lake lineage of the Primordial Water.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Elder Shang took out a round magical treasure and held it in his palm.
He stood upright and said, “Wang Liyao, I’m giving you one last chance. If you admit to stealing the scriptures from the Primordial Water line, I will plead for your leniency.”
Even at this ti, Elder Shang attempted to outsmart Wang Liyao.
“I haven’t stolen anything, you have no right to judge , and I don’t need soone like you to plead for ,” Wang Liyao coldly retorted.
She has always been resolute from a young age and other than her mother, she never lets anyone force her into admitting guilt, particularly when she did no wrong.
“Very well, since you are so stubborn, then I have no choice but to enforce the rules,” Elder Shang had waited for this response.
Right away,
he flicked his wrist, and the round magical treasure whizzed up into the air, quickly growing until it was more than ten feet in diater.
The treasure, nad “Qiankun Ring,” was a replica of the divine tool “Qiankun Circle”. While weaker than the original, it possesses great power to bind and suppress people.
Under Elder Shang’s control, the Qiankun Ring spun in the air and then fiercely pressed down towards Wang Liyao!
The heavy binding energy took form of radiant rays emitting a terrifying suppression, aiming at Wang Liyao.
Wang Liyao was too frail to dodge.
Seeing this, her face beca gloomy, and she casted the Guardian Heart Spirit Shield, drawing ample primordial water energy into it.
A robust umbrella-shaped energy shield imdiately erged around her.
The next mont,
a “ka-boom” resounded, the powerful binding energy fell onto the shield.
Wang Liyao’s body shuddered, as if struck by thunder.
The huge pressure broke the floor tiles beneath, and she kneeled onto the ground, her legs deeply plunged into it.
Sweat dripped down her cheeks as her face beca pale.
“Wang Liyao, as long as you admit your mistake, I will withdraw the magical treasure. Given your imnse talent and bloodline, the Academic Palace will surely give you a lenient punishnt,” Elder Shang, while increasing pressure, tried persuasively, “Why bother making yourself suffer?”
“I made no mistake, why should I admit to sothing wrong? It’s you who is wrong!” Despite her struggles, Wang Liyao defiantly retorted.
Who does he think he is? Forcing her to admit guilt, he must be dreaming!
“Very well.” Elder Shang was getting frustrated, “Then don’t bla for directly restraining and taking you to the Law Enforcent Hall.”
With that said, he made a symbol with his hand, intending to enhance the binding and suppressive force of the Qiankun Ring.
“Sigh~”
Seeing this, Wang Liyao felt helpless, but still sighed.
Well, it seems she had to use that item now.
She thought she wouldn’t need to use it. After all, never underestimate the strength of an ordinary Tianren Realm Cultivator of the Academic Palace. Even if they were not Sky Pride like her Uncle Fang Youan, they were strong with plentiful surprises. Unlike the Realm Cultivators from ordinary 7th-rank Aristocratic Families…
Seeing Wang Liyao hesitating, it is apparent she has a formidable trick up her sleeve.
All of the sudden,
Just at that mont.
A “buzzing” sound echoed in the air, as a robust sword chi streaked across the sky.
A purple sword light swiftly moved from far away to near, cutting through the air.
The sword light felt as sharp as icy piercing cold, yet powerful like a thunderous force. Its terrifying aura caused fear among everyone.
Accompanying this was an irate feminine voice booming from the sky, “Shang, you’re really bold, daring to bully my family!”
“Purple Lightning Sword! It’s our Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor Longyan is here~~”
Wang Liyao’s eyes lit up, she felt an intense sense of relief, as if she was leaning on a strong pillar.
Her anxiety disappeared, and in an instant, her body swayed, falling backward!
But she didn’t fall to the ground, instead, she fell into a familiar and secure embrace, accompanied by a familiar male voice in her ear, “You little girl, why are you still so stubborn?”
“Daddy~ It’s daddy!~” Wang Liyao burst into tears, her lips perked up, showing a pitiable look of a little girl, “Wuwu~ I, I don’t want to join the Primordial Water lineage.”
