"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my own actions!"

"Since my whereabouts have been exposed, I'll leave on my own!"

"No matter how fierce the flood or how numerous the pursuers, I won't drag everyone down!"

Hearing Zheng Qiankun's words and seeing everyone gazing at him as if in contemplation, Chen Bei gave a bitter smile and transformed into a stream of light, landing in the courtyard.

"Thank you, Sect Master Uncle, for your protection. If I have the chance, I will surely repay this great favor!"

Looking at Murong Xiao, who was still floating in the air, Chen Bei bowed his head in salute. Then he turned towards Zhou Hai and knelt on both knees.

"Master, though I've only been with you for a day, a day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father!"

"Most cultivators in the world can't wait to wipe out their disciples. To avoid implicating the academy, I am willing to sever the master-disciple relationship!"

"Of course, I will never forget the kindness you've shown me!"

"If fate allows me to return, I will serve you for the rest of my life!"

Saying this, Chen Bei respectfully kowtowed three times to Zhou Hai.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly turned somewhat somber and slightly oppressive.

It's no wonder Chen Bei was so resolute; his Overlord philosophy had long harmed the interests of countless cultivators. Any cultivator in Beihuang with a bit of self-interest would want to eliminate him.

In such circumstances, no one would offend all the cultivators of Beihuang for his sake, nor would anyone dare to easily offend them.

Including the Main Academy behind the academy!

Everyone understood this point. But for Murong Xiao and the elders, they couldn't bring themselves to expel their own disciple because of it.

Especially not a disciple like Chen Bei!

"Get out of here, knowing the road ahead is difficult and still wasting time being sentimental. Are you a pedantic scholar from the Learning Palace?"

Zhou Hai couldn't accept it, flying over and kicking Chen Bei in the rear.

Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhou Hai in shock.

This guy, at such a touching moment, how could he ruin the atmosphere like this?

Especially the elders and disciples of the Learning Palace, they all glared angrily.

Who was this guy calling a pedantic scholar?

Chen Bei was also stunned, turning back to look at Zhou Hai.

But he quickly understood that his master was worried about him!

Despite only a day's relationship as master and disciple, his master's concern for him was higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, comparable to a biological father.

This kindness and affection would be hard to repay in a lifetime!

"Master, if given the chance, I would follow you for all eternity. Even if just as an attendant, I would be content!"

Moved, Chen Bei bowed to Zhou Hai once more.

"I'll be damned if you do! You've been my disciple for just a day and already want to go solo. How can I rely on you in the future?"

"Hurry up and cultivate. If you dare mention severing the master-disciple relationship again, I'll damn well beat you, believe it or not?"

Zhou Hai was furious, grabbing Chen Bei's ear and giving him a few kicks on the rear.

He was angry!

As a mortal, rolling in the cultivation circle for seven years, who knew what he'd been through in those seven years?

Finally having a disciple to help improve his cultivation, and after just one day, the disciple wanted to sever ties!

He could leave so freely, but what about him?

"Hey, hey, hey... Master, Master, what are you doing?"

Chen Bei was bewildered. Even as an Overlord, he couldn't let someone pull his ear. Who could endure that?

Especially when the one pulling his ear was his most respected master, he had no way to resist.

If it were someone else, he would have slapped them to death!

"What am I doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing? Go and cultivate!"

Zhou Hai shouted loudly with a dark face.

"Elder Zhou, are you forcibly keeping him in the academy?"

"Have you thought about it? Keeping him here, we not only face the accountability of Qiongyao Holy Land but also the hostility of many cultivators!"

"Can the academy withstand it?"

Zheng Qiankun looked over, frowning.

He already looked down on Zhou Hai, and now he was even more displeased.

No matter what, he didn't want to be overshadowed by Chen Bei for a lifetime and had to drive this guy out.

"Who do you think you are, daring to tell me what to do?"

"If you want to drive my disciple away, why not drive me away too!"

Zhou Hai, being the shrewd person he was, saw through this guy's intentions at a glance.

Once or twice, he could let it go, but this guy was getting addicted. It was simply outrageous!

"Elder Zhou, you..."

Zheng Qiankun's face turned ugly, pointing at Zhou Hai, wanting to say something.

"Enough, calling him Elder Zhou at every turn, is it your Zheng family that didn't teach you well, or do you not understand the academy's rules?"

"Disrespectful, can't even call him Martial Uncle?"

"Senior Brother Chen, if you can't teach him the rules, let my Learning Palace disciples teach him!"

At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Zheng Qiankun turned to see Elder Li Changqing of the Learning Palace glaring at him!

"Uncle Li, I..."

Zheng Qiankun was a bit dumbfounded. Didn't everyone agree to drive Chen Bei away? How could this be his fault?

"Shut up, you rebellious disciple!"

"Apologies, Junior Brother Li, it's my fault for not teaching my disciple well. I'll make sure to set him straight!"

The Sword Palace elder scolded harshly, then, with an ugly expression, cupped his hands towards the Learning Palace elder.

"Indeed, he needs to be taught!"

"Disrespectful to elders, sacrificing fellow disciples in times of trouble, if such selfish nature isn't corrected, it will surely become a disaster in the future!"

Murong Xiao flew over, speaking coldly.

"I..."

Zheng Qiankun's face changed repeatedly. He couldn't understand what he did wrong, how he suddenly became the target of everyone's criticism!

"Chen Bei, listen up, our academy never abandons its disciples!"

"If your conduct is improper, our academy will clean house. But if anyone dares to harm our academy's disciples, even if our academy is destroyed, we will never let it go!"

Turning back, Murong Xiao looked at Chen Bei, speaking with undeniable authority.

"That's right, Junior Nephew, since you're here, settle in! It's okay to be sentimental occasionally, but never avoid problems!"

Li Changqing looked at Chen Bei with satisfaction, speaking earnestly.

"Indeed, when soldiers come, we fight back, when water comes, we build a dam. The crisis hasn't even arrived yet, and you're thinking of running away? That's not what we do!"

"If there's real trouble, I have a sword to protect you!"

Sword Palace Elder Chen Chuang laughed.

"Hahaha, and I have the Martial Arts Palace!"

"And I have the Alchemy Palace!"

"Junior Brother Chen Bei, and us senior brothers and sisters!"

As they spoke, everyone laughed heartily.

Chen Bei finally escaped from Zhou Hai's clutches, rubbing his ear while looking at the group in the air.

If he remembered correctly, these people were mocking his master this morning. How did they suddenly become so kind to them?

Thinking of something, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Just as Teacher Zhuyu said, the Great Zhou Academy is indeed a sacred place to be yearned for.

These seniors may bicker, but they never lose their camaraderie!

"Alright, Junior Brother, let the junior nephew rest first, and come with us!"

Murong Xiao spoke again.

"Did you hear that? Go and cultivate!"

Zhou Hai glared at Chen Bei before leaving with the others.

"Master..."

Watching everyone leave, Chen Bei was deeply moved.

He didn't go to cultivate but instead turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Dinghai City!

He clearly remembered that Chu Chen mentioned that people from the Great Qian Academy and the Great Qian Court had come.

Since these people had already chased him here, there was no need for them to return alive!

Hovering over Dinghai City, Chen Bei's gaze quickly locked onto an inn.

Outside this inn were guards of the Great Qian Dynasty, numbering over a hundred. Each one was at the Foundation Establishment level, and some leaders even had Innate strength, clearly an elite force!

After confirming their identity, Chen Bei descended directly.

At this moment, in the upper room of the inn, Chen Qian was sitting opposite Elder Lu.

One was an elder of the Great Qian Jixia Academy, and the other was a prince, soon to be conferred as a king, both of noble status.

But at this moment, both felt a sense of unease.

"Elder Lu, Elder Dongguo won't be in trouble, will he?"

"Chen Bei is a ruthless person, there's no one in this world he doesn't dare to kill. If Elder Dongguo is exposed and fails to assassinate, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Finally, Chen Qian couldn't sit still any longer and frowned.

"Enough, Third Prince, you've asked this many times already!"

"I've said, Elder Dongguo is from Qiongyao Holy Land, the Great Zhou Academy wouldn't dare do anything to him!"

"Not everyone is like the Overlord, acting without regard for consequences!"

"Trust me, Mr. Dongguo will return!"

Elder Lu waved his hand irritably. Though he was nervous, he still believed that in the face of Qiongyao Holy Land, the academy wouldn't act rashly.

However, just as he finished speaking, countless screams were heard outside.

Elder Lu's face changed, and Chen Qian stood up abruptly, both feeling a tightness in their hearts.

At that moment, a strong wind blew, and the doors and windows of the room swung open.

Both looked up to see that outside, dark clouds had gathered at some point, with lightning flickering.

And in those dark clouds, a figure was coldly watching them!
