Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 97: Stepping In

"Now, with Mo Wangchen’s dominating rise, I’m afraid this is something the Jun Family couldn’t have imagined back then, right?"

"Three months’ time, he advanced from the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm to the fifth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, and his combat strength is comparable to someone of the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm..."

"Monster! This Mo Wangchen is a monster, such terrifying potential, I fear even Jun Muqing can’t match him, right?"

"When Jun Muqing went to cancel the marriage, it was tantamount to completely severing ties between the two families, and now with the rise of Mo Wangchen, it’s no wonder that Elder Jun Feng is trying to suppress him!"

For a time, the scene buzzed with discussion, yet Elder Jun Feng seemed as if he hadn’t heard any of it at all, his gaze coldly fixed on Mo Wangchen, "To abolish your cultivation and expel you from the Academy, I think, with the current influence of my Jun Family, there is no need to report to the Elders. You are nothing more than an Outer Court Disciple..."

With these words, the expressions of all the Mo Pavilion Disciples changed, knowing that the other party was right.

The Jun Family is one of the five major families, and moreover, Jun Muqing in the Inner Court is a disciple of the Pavilion Master. Expelling a disciple from the Academy, Elder Jun Feng certainly has the boldness to do so!

"Pavilion Master is right. Elder Jun Feng should not make decisions on his own, even if there are to be sanctions, the Elder layer must be notified!"

At the same time, in the direction of the Mo Pavilion Disciples, Mo Cheng and Xu Chan, among a few others, were the first to stand up.

"That’s right! Today’s matter isn’t the Pavilion Master’s fault. There is no reason to punish him!" After them, other Mo Pavilion Disciples also stood up one after another.

"What are you doing?!"

Elder Jun Feng snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the people with an oppressive aura, "Do you think that by banding together, I would not dare to punish you?!"

Feeling the dreadful pressure from him, everyone’s expressions changed.

"Hehe, Elder Jun Feng, why are you pressing down on the younger generation for such a trivial matter? Give me some face and let’s drop the matter, how about that?"

However, just as the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, a faint chuckle was heard from outside the crowd and entered everyone’s ears.

Everyone turned their gaze and saw two figures slowly walking over from not far away in the square. "It’s Elder Xie and Elder Zhao!"

"Is it him?"

Mo Wangchen frowned, recognizing one of the men as Elder Xie, who presided over the Exotic Treasure Pavilion.

"Do you know this person?"

Seeing Elder Xie speak up for Mo Wangchen, Elder Jun Feng immediately frowned. After all, he was only an Outer Court Deacon Elder, while Elder Xie, who managed the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, belonged neither to the Outer Court nor the Inner Court but was superior to both, having higher authority. Only the Pavilion Master could exert pressure on someone like Elder Xie.

Elder Xie glanced at him and then said with a soft smile, "Hehe, I’ve met him a few times; this kid left a good impression on me. He’s a promising seedling, Elder Jun Feng. I think the Pavilion Master wouldn’t want the Academy to lose such a talent, right?"

"Pavillion Master!"

Hearing this, Jun Yao frowned even more. The other party’s words clearly meant that even if this matter reached the Pavilion Master, in the end, the Pavilion Master would not agree with his actions.

After all, being able to spike his cultivation to such a degree in three months had already proven that Mo Wangchen was a rare talent.

"We have both witnessed the events, and Mo Wangchen is not at fault. Elder Jun Feng, let’s end this matter here," said the Zhao Zhi, who had come with Elder Xie, also speaking up.

He was the Great Elder of the Outer Court and Elder Jun Feng’s direct superior, but since Elder Jun Feng held a special position, Zhao Zhi rarely exerted pressure on him.

But now, having seen Mo Wangchen’s talent, Zhao Zhi also understood why Elder Xie, in charge of the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, was so interested in this competition.

It turned out that the other party had recognized Mo Wangchen’s extraordinariness long ago!

If Elder Jun Feng were to act on his own now and expel such an excellent talent like Mo Wangchen from the Academy, it would be a huge loss for the Academy.

Even if the news spread out, it would be a disgrace for Yun Chu Academy!

Elder Jun Feng’s frown deepened; now that Elder Xie and Elder Zhao were both speaking up for Mo Wangchen. If he still pressed against Mo Wangchen now, he’d probably be too disrespectful.

After all, whether it was Zhao Zhi or Elder Xie, both had real power within the Academy and could easily deal with him.

In the end, Elder Jun Feng took a deep breath, his gaze turning to where Mo Wangchen was and he snorted, "Consider yourself lucky, kid. Just don’t let me catch you slipping in the future!"

With those words, he turned and left the place with Jun Yao and the others...

"Kid, are you alright?"

Elder Xie and Elder Zhao came directly to Mo Wangchen right after Elder Jun Feng and the disciples of the Star Wing Pavilion left. He wore a smile on his face and asked lightly.

Mo Wangchen shook his head and then bowed deeply, "Thank you to both Elders!"

Had it not been for their intervention, Mo Wangchen’s situation today might have been unimaginable.

Now more than ever, his desire for strength intensified!

Without power, no matter where you go, you will always be looked down upon. Today, a mere Elder Jun Feng, a figure in the Spirit Transformation Realm, a person who wouldn’t have caught the past Mo Wangchen’s attention, was now someone who could suppress him to the point of helplessness.

In this life, he had talent, but he had yet to grow strong...

"Kid, are you really only at the fifth level of the Vein Condensation Realm?" Zhao Zhi’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at Mo Wangchen as if looking at a rare treasure.

Mo Wangchen hesitated for a moment, "Indeed, only at the fifth level of the Vein Condensation Realm..."

"Good kid, with combat strength like yours at the fifth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, you must have condensed quite a few Spirit Veins in your body, right?" Zhao Zhi asked, probing.

It was not difficult for him to imagine that Mo Wangchen had at least three or more Spirit Veins inside his body, comparable to Jun Muqing back then, otherwise, how could he defeat Xiang Fei with only the fifth level of the Vein Condensation Realm?

"This..."

Mo Wangchen hesitated, clearly not wanting to answer this question.

"You’re worrying about nothing. How many Spirit Veins he has doesn’t matter. Now that the Outer Court has such a talent, we should cultivate him properly," stepped forward Elder Xie, saying this.

The fact that Mo Wangchen had five Spirit Veins was something Elder Xie had seen, but saying such a thing in front of so many people seemed a bit inappropriate, considering how astounding it was.

"Uh!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhi was taken aback, "Although I am the Great Elder of the Outer Court, I just manage some trivial matters on a daily basis. Cultivating disciples is your job, isn’t it? After all, the Xuan Stones they receive every month are on you..."
