Chapter 713: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys!

"Academy Head, this…"

Mei Linde's arrival was indeed unexpected by many Witches, but her decision at the moment made many Witches feel uneasy.

To actually hand Xiao Han over to them for resurrection, did Academy Head Mei have a grudge against Xiao Han?

She had just declared that Xiao Han was their acknowledged Lesser Witch!

It was tantamount to standing up for Xiao Han, and now she was pulling this move?

But by any reckoning, this was impossible.

"It's fine. Let them resurrect Xiao Han."

Mei Linde turned sideways to look at the Witches behind her.

Although many Witches were still very confused, out of trust for Academy Head Mei, the collective of Witches did not say anything.

"Are you sure?"

At this moment, after a discussion among the Holy Angels, a Holy Angel stepped forward, wearing a holy, pure white robe with a pair of pure white wings tucked protectively behind him.

Although his appearance gave people a feeling of untouchable purity, along with a gender-neutral beauty.

However… it would be better if their conduct was also as noble as their aura.

Just now, during that brief deliberation, the decision they had to face… was too influential for the Holy Angels.

They couldn't bear to make a move against a student in front of so many examinees.

It concerned the dignity of the Holy Angels and the external image they had cultivated.

So, in that short conversation, the Holy Angels also expressed their demand: they could certainly preside over the resurrection, but if the resurrection was successful, the act of striking could not be done by the Holy Angels!

This condition had to be agreed upon; otherwise, even if the resurrection was successful, the Holy Angels would not forcefully intervene.

Out of necessity, the other Transcendent beings could only agree.

"Are you the Holy Angel most proficient in the Resurrection Divine Art among the Holy Angels? I look forward to your Holy Angel's resurrection methods."

Mei Linde spoke with a cold tone.

"I dare not claim to be the most proficient, but I am relatively skilled in general Resurrection Divine Arts."

After a brief moment of humility, the Holy Angel came before the figure.

After performing the Holy Angel's ritualistic prayer, he spread his hands, and a sacred power surged from his body.

Accompanied by a clear chant, the power of the Divine Art transformed into countless Divine Art Runes, outlining a grand resurrection ritual.

In fact, resurrecting a person didn't require so much trouble.

Whether it was the Resurrection Spell Spellbook mastered by the Witches, the Resurrection Divine Art of the Holy Angels, or the Sacrificial Resurrection Ritual Sorcery of the Wizards, fundamentally, none of them caused such a grand commotion.

Resurrection was not an act of defying fate; these were merely the reverent fantasies of ordinary people regarding the reversal of life and death.

But the Holy Angel's Resurrection Divine Art was closer to this impractical fantasy, as they needed to demonstrate the miracle of the Holy Light to ordinary people.

As the Resurrection Divine Art began, the atmosphere between the two confronting sides seemed to become even more tense.

Both sides were on the verge of making a move at any moment…

But as the Resurrection Divine Art continued, the power of the Holy Light, apart from healing the fatal bodily wounds, made no other significant movement.

Not even the anomaly of the Soul-substance returning via the Holy Light's guidance was exhibited.

The Transcendent Holy Angel performing the Resurrection Divine Art now had a drop of cold sweat running down his face.

It seemed he had truly done his best.

As the progress of the Resurrection Divine Art "stalled," the atmosphere among the Transcendent beings of the other Transcendent Academies suddenly relaxed, and even the Holy Angel side breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that there was nothing to worry about this time.

If even the Holy Angel's Resurrection Divine Art couldn't revive her, then she was truly dead!

And next, only dealing with the Witches' frantic revenge seemed to be the ensuing development. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But it didn't matter; since the person was already dead, everything was over.

The opponent wouldn't be endlessly antagonistic toward them over a dead person; maximizing benefit was the best choice.

And with the conflict transforming into an exchange of interests, they wouldn't have to worry about the squabbling.

Exchanging resources and interests—things that could always be earned back sooner or later—for a genius that the opponent might never encounter again was a huge profit!

"It seems this matter won't be resolved so easily today."

As time passed, Mei Linde's patience was also exhausted.

When she spoke this sentence, the air seemed to carry a suffocating murderous intent!

Not only from Mei Linde, but also from Bai Yu behind her, and the many Witches.

Those many Witches were truly enraged!

They had personally witnessed Xiao Han being killed by the opponents.

Although there were too many suspicious details in Xiao Han's death, the fact that the Resurrection Divine Art couldn't revive her was undeniable!

"This is impossible. How could Xiao Han just die like that?"

A few more agitated Witches stepped forward, shoving the Holy Angel aside and using the Resurrection Spell Spellbook, but the result was still ineffective.

What remained was a body that had been repaired, but not a living being.

"I apologize; life is inherently fragile. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Perhaps we shouldn't have arranged this exchange match with the premise of playing with death from the very beginning. On behalf of the Holy Angel Academy, I respectfully withdraw from this exchange match at this regrettable moment, to show our reverence for life…"

"Did I allow you to just leave like that!"

Mei Linde's single sentence directly interrupted the Holy Angel's intention to slip away now.

Mei Linde had said that if this matter wasn't handled properly today, they shouldn't expect it to be easily resolved.

She wasn't just talking!

"Mei Linde, I understand your feelings, but I still have to remind you that this Lesser Witch is only a Lesser Witch after all; she is not yet a Transcendent Witch…"

"Do you think I'm standing here to listen to you say that?"

Mei Linde angrily interrupted the opponent's nonsense, her voice filled with undisguised killing intent.

"Today, if you don't pay a price, leaving some people here forever as nourishment for the Expansion Realm, don't even think about resolving this matter!"

After Mei Linde finished speaking, before the crowd could speculate whether she was bluffing or truly intended to attack, a figure flashed from behind with a speed that no one could distinguish!

An abrupt metallic clang echoed in everyone's ears, and accompanied by a thud, a Transcendent Dragon-person from the Dragon Blood Academy fell instantly.

And as this figure slumped to the ground, the Dragon-person's inherent mighty physique, terrifying self-healing ability, and the indestructible dragon scales defense—everything became a joke!

At this moment, this Transcendent Dragon-person was decapitated as easily as an ordinary person.

As the figure fell, the entire body seemed to have been cast into the River of Time, transforming from a vibrant life to scattering dust in just that brief instant of falling.

This figure, whose action surprised everyone, was precisely Bai Yu.

She flicked the long saber in her hand; the unsullied blade gleamed with a chilling cold light.

Her voice was cold and suppressed, yet it seemed to carry a controlled madness, stating with the death of a Transcendent the murderous intent she could no longer suppress due to her rage.

"Today, the Transcendent beings from the Dragon Blood Academy present… none of you should think about leaving alive."

"What is your Witch Academy trying to do! Do you want to ignite a Transcendent War!"

At this moment, the death of one Transcendent instantly struck a nerve with everyone.

The mindset they had of wanting to discuss things properly completely collapsed at this moment.

"You cannot expect a Witch who has just suffered the painful loss of her beloved to suppress her rage at this moment. Even I, as the Head of the Witch Academy, have no right to obstruct her revenge."

"What?"

Painful loss of her beloved?

That Lesser Witch had a Transcendent girlfriend?!

Although such a relationship seemed absurd to many, Mei Linde saying this clearly meant she had no intention of stopping it.

More importantly, if the opponent truly started a killing spree here over this matter, they truly felt like they had stirred up a hornet's nest.

Even more crucial was that the opponent killed a Transcendent with a single strike!

"Quick, stop her!"

"She's crazy! Help me! Don't just watch! Stop her quickly! Ah…"

Accompanied by a second scream, everyone belatedly started to counterattack.

Perhaps they had been away from killing for too long in the Main World, or had not seen a Transcendent fall for too long, making them think they were mistaken.

It was only when Bai Yu delivered her third strike that they realized… just how insane the Witch in front of them was!

"Saint Stage?!"

When this voice rang out, several Transcendent beings who had not reached the Saint Stage quickly retreated; they did not want to die in vain.

And the Transcendent beings of the Dragon Blood Academy plunged into despair at this moment!

The moment Xiao Han was plotted against and those people actually executed the killing plot, it was destined that someone would bleed.

It didn't matter whether Xiao Han died or if Xiao Han was still alive; those were no excuses to spare them.

Just as those Transcendent races thought they could resolve the issue with resources and interests, the Witches could also resolve it with blood and life.

The Witches were not to be trifled with.

Don't assume that the Witches in the Main World seemed "peaceful."

Most of the Witches who stayed were just retirees, while the Witches who couldn't stand it had been rotated out batch after batch long ago.

In the Main World, the Witches were the fastest rotating Transcendent mentors.

You could say that Witches sought fun, or sought excitement, or even sought the meaning of life, but slaughter and destruction almost accompanied the lives of most Witches.

"Damn it, what kind of power is this!"

At this moment, several Saint Stage Transcendent beings had already unfolded their Domains and clashed with Bai Yu, but they were defeated in just an instant.

After all, there were differences between Domains!

The Mental Realm Domain integrated with Five Senses Enhancement imagery, combined with Time Sense.

In their eyes, Bai Yu was like a God of Slaughter, only attacking and never defending.

Any wound inflicted on her by Transcendent means instantly dissipated as the dust of time.

The imagery of the Five Senses Enhancement permeated the entire Mental Realm Domain, the most prominent being the pupil that transformed into an eye.

Bai Yu was a person of the Main World, blessed by the Main World.

Spirit Vision was a talent that every person in the Main World would awaken sooner or later.

Therefore, when the Transcendent Bai Yu touched True Time, the True Vision inherited the talent of Spirit Vision, transforming into the most outstanding ability among her Five Senses Enhancement.

But Bai Yu's true terror lay in the Body Cultivation Time Sense, because Time Sense was the power that truly led to "domination" within the Body Cultivation Perception System.

Therefore, even facing the Undying Nature of Transcendent life, within the Domain of Time Sense intervention, it seemed powerless, and facing Transcendent beings without a Domain was a Dimensionality Reduction Attack.

The first Dragon-person Transcendent killed by Bai Yu's saber strike was the most typical example of this effect.

"It's a Body Cultivation Domain! She also cultivated Time Sense! Quick, retreat!"

At this moment, those with insight finally realized and recognized this ability in their belated awareness.

It was fortunate that this Witch was currently only targeting the Transcendent beings of the Dragon Blood Academy; those who stepped forward to obstruct her were only severely injured at most.

For a moment, they even felt a hint of relief.

Power pushes people onto the same competitive platform, while means differentiate a person's level of strength.

Those who single-mindedly pursue power are weak, regardless of the height they reach.

"Isn't that enough? This Witch… all the Transcendent beings from the Dragon Blood Academy have been killed by you!"

At this moment, the Transcendent Wizard from the Wizard Academy stepped forward and spoke.

It was fortunate that there were only four or five Transcendent beings from the Dragon Blood Academy who came this time; their loss here was not significant.

As for a Transcendent War?

Impossible, even if people died, it wouldn't happen.

And as for the deceased Transcendent beings of the Dragon Blood Academy…

Which Transcendent race did the Dragon Blood Academy belong to?

Not a Transcendent race?

Then what are you going on about!

Your academy's students colluded with Nightmare Demons and murdered a Lesser Witch from the Witch Academy, causing her beloved to be overwhelmed with grief and rage, and kill a few people to vent—so what?

The final say in this Main World still belongs to the Transcendent races!

You say the Dragon race is a Transcendent race?

What is a half-Drakonid, transformed using Dragon bloodline, to dare compare itself to Dragonkin?

Ultimately, this "farce," in which several Transcendent beings died, also ended under the "pacification" of the other Transcendent beings and Mei Linde.

Yes, it ended just like that.

The other Transcendent Academies could see that the Witches, who had been inactive for a long time, were using this opportunity to establish their authority—killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

The purpose was to warn them.

To make them remember that back then, the Witch Academy was established in the Main World by the Witch race suppressing the Three Great Transcendent Races to gain entry!

And the Witches only established one rule when they came in.

That was the effect of the Great Weakening Spell Grand Spellbook, which encompassed the entire Core Realm.

And now, the Witches had mastered the technique of repairing the Main World.

They repaired the Expansion Realm, and in this place with "no rules," if their bottom line was touched, they would respond with thunderous means!

This place… was no longer the Core Realm.

"We deeply regret what happened today. On behalf of the various Transcendent Academies, we are willing to cooperate with the Witch Academy to investigate this matter and transfer the students involved to the Witch Academy. I wonder if such a resolution is sufficient to settle this matter?"

At this moment, after a round of discussion, the Transcendent Wizard from the Wizard Academy continued to serve as the representative for the negotiation.

Since the purpose of this trip had been accomplished, the "things" that were no longer needed naturally had to be put to good use.

Students, to an academy, were merely resources that rotated batch after batch.

Students could not possess such far-reaching strategic vision, nor would they make sacrifices for the future benefit of the race now.

Therefore, this killing plot, primarily driven by students, was essentially a game of chess between races.

The students were merely chess pieces.

And what was happening now was nothing more than discarding the donkey after the grinding was done.

This was the life in the eyes of the Transcendent beings—chess pieces they wanted to achieve their goals, and sacrifices that could be discarded at any time.

"Hey did you all hear that?"

At this moment, Mei Linde did not respond to the Transcendent Wizard's question, nor did she answer whether she was satisfied.

Instead, she addressed the students who were pushed out as sacrifices, and the Teaching Assistants.

They were all trembling like sieves, their faces filled with disbelief!

Especially the students and Teaching Assistants of the Dragon Blood Academy.

Their mentors were killed like livestock right in front of them, and even their corpses could not be preserved, turning into weathered dust.

They could die!

Even the mentors of a Transcendent Academy could die!

The existences they thought were the least likely to die in this world had just died before their very eyes…

Thus, they were completely despairing.

"Your academies have abandoned you. If you have anything you want to say… hurry up and say it now."

As Mei Linde spoke this sentence, the faces of the Transcendent beings from the other Transcendent Academies instantly changed!

"These students were misled by the Abyssal Demons. Since their involvement in the death of your academy's Lesser Witch is undeniable, I shall take the liberty of…"

Before the Transcendent Wizard finished speaking, the Sorcery in his hand had already begun to brew.

He clearly intended to kill them to silence them, yet he still spouted a string of high-sounding words.

"The lives of these people now belong to the Witch Academy. Try to touch one!"

Mei Linde snorted coldly, waving her hand to completely block the opponent's Sorcery, entirely ignoring his embarrassed expression.

She then looked at those people, signaling them to start.

"I *your mother, I sold my life for you Wizards, and in the end, you sold us out!"

"Did you really think we wanted to do this! You promised to take care of everything, I shouldn't have trusted you inhuman, ghostly **thing!"

At this moment, those people shamelessly cursed out every profanity they had ever learned in their lives.

Now, there was no longer a distinction between Transcendent beings; only the distinction between those with a mother and those without a mother.

Perhaps, this was the final high point of their lives.

"Bravely" telling everything to the vast majority of the examinees of the Multi-school Joint Exam and the live broadcast.

Silence.

At this moment, apart from the cursing of those people, there seemed to be only silence.
