These congratulatory individuals are all nobles of the imperial city, implying to everyone that behind the Snow Moon Holy Academy stands the royal family.
Many people are eager to try. With the royal family personally establishing the Holy Academy, its power is undoubtedly extremely strong. If one can enter it, they need not worry about not becoming famous in the future.
As the congratulatory people gradually stepped back into the crowd, King Tianlang stood there with a smile. Everyone knew that the next step would be the recruitment by the Holy Academy.
At this moment, a sharp whistle pierced the sky. The crowd felt a fierce aura above their heads, causing them to slightly stiffen and raise their gazes.
"Arrows!"
In the sky, an arrow shot out like a meteor from the horizon, forming a beautiful arc and heading towards King Tianlang on the platform.
"What's going on?"
The crowd was shocked. Someone dared to shoot an arrow at King Tianlang so blatantly, and on the day the Holy Academy was established, it was too audacious.
Duan Tianlang's expression froze for a moment, his smile disappearing, his mouth cold.
"Break!"
A powerful sword energy whistled out, stopping the falling arrow. At the same time, the sound of galloping hooves came from afar, shaking the earth.
"Liu Canglan, congratulates the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy."
A surging voice came, attracting the attention of the crowd.
It was Liu Canglan, the divine archer Liu Canglan, who had also come!
"Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, congratulates the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy."
The rolling sound wave was overwhelming, carrying a bloody aura, making the crowd seem to feel a bloody army approaching.
"What's that?"
At this moment, many people's faces changed drastically. Countless arrows rose into the sky from a distance, rushing towards the sky with a whistling wind, extremely beautiful.
Everyone's gaze froze, staring blankly at the arrows that covered the sky, blocking the sunlight above their heads.
Is it true that the divine archer Liu Canglan came to congratulate the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy?
"Daredevil!"
Duan Tianlang's face instantly darkened to the extreme. With an angry shout, his body leaped into the air, the dazzling sword light dazzling.
At the same time, many people from the Snow Moon Holy Academy also leaped into the air. A powerful and vigorous aura erupted from them, and their fierce attacks all blasted towards the falling arrows.
In the space, countless arrows danced wildly, and the crowd below instantly became chaotic, dodging to avoid being hit by the stray arrows.
The galloping sound of hooves came to the front, and the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry rushed into the crowd that had scattered, bringing with them a domineering gale.
The leader had a firm and handsome face, with eyes as deep as the starry sky. What was even more eye-catching was his long hair, as white as snow.
"It's Liu Canglan. Why is his hair all white?"
The crowd saw the fierce Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, and their hearts trembled. Liu Canglan, was he causing trouble on the day the Snow Moon Holy Academy was established?
The sound of hooves stopped, and this group of Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, nearly two hundred strong, all looked solemn, their gazes extremely firm, as if they could pierce through everything.
"Liu Canglan, do you know what you're doing?"
The crowd of the Snow Moon Holy Academy was already in chaos. Duan Tianlang's face was extremely cold as he stared at Liu Canglan on the horse.
"I've come to seek justice."
Liu Canglan's voice was calm, but in this calmness, there was an unparalleled firmness.
"Justice?" Duan Tianlang sneered, "Today is the day the Holy Academy is established, a day of celebration for Snow Moon. You've come to ask me for justice?"
"I have dedicated twenty years of my life to Snow Moon, fought on the battlefield without frowning. When Snow Moon wanted to establish the Holy Academy, I let my only daughter, Liu Fei, travel around, hoping to recruit more people to the Holy Academy and become the pillars of the country."
Liu Canglan's white hair fluttered in the air as he looked up at the sky and spoke slowly.
"I have always been wholeheartedly devoted to Snow Moon. I handed over command of the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry to you, yet you, Duan Tianlang, led the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry to join forces with several major sects, destroyed the Cloud Sea Sect where I grew up, and cultivated. On that day, the blood flowed like a river. Duan Tianlang, what justice do you think I'm asking for?"
Liu Canglan's gaze slowly moved down from the sky, landing on Duan Tianlang, incredibly sharp.
The crowd felt emotional hearing Duan Tianlang's story. The royal family is the most ruthless!
Liu Canglan was such a hero, famous throughout the world. However, his sect was destroyed with just an edict from the royal family.
No one would believe that Duan Tianlang, leading the troops to destroy the Cloud Sea Sect, did not have the authorization of the royal family.
"The Cloud Sea Sect refused to establish the Holy Academy, did not respect the Snow Moon royal command, and rebelled. It deserved to be destroyed. Now, you, Liu Canglan, lead the cavalry into the imperial city, causing trouble on the day the Holy Academy is established. Do you know what crime this is?"
Duan Tianlang's tone was extremely cold, and the crowd's gaze towards him became even colder.
"Liu Canglan, you know what you're doing?"
The crowd's gaze towards Duan Tianlang became colder and colder.
"For justice, what crime is there? I, Liu Canglan, am not ashamed of Snow Moon, only ashamed of my sect, ashamed of my brothers."
Liu Canglan glanced around at the crowd, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"To die with the general is a life without regrets."
The person on Liu Canglan's left smiled lightly. In this smile, there was a softness that was full of brotherly affection.
"To die with the general is without regrets."
The hundreds of iron riders shouted in unison, their eyes full of determination. They had voluntarily followed here, and since they had come, they had already made up their minds to die without fear.
The crowd saw these iron riders talking about life and death with a smile, and a sense of heroism arose in their hearts, feeling as if there was a surge of blood rising.
"With such a general, what else can one ask for in this life?"
Among the crowd, Proud Snow's eyes flickered, a hint of sadness deep in her gaze.
Beside Proud Snow, Lin Feng under the bronze mask kept blinking, a voice echoing
in his mind, 'The ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.'
When Liu Canglan led the iron riders into the imperial city, he had already made up his mind to die. Even if he died, he wanted to seek justice. Perhaps he understood that even if he died, he would not be able to achieve this justice.
Liu Canglan looked at each brother, took a deep breath, his voice carrying a hint of desolation.
"Since this is the case, today is our final battle. It's a pity that it's not on the battlefield, but in the Snow Moon Imperial City."
He took off the bow and arrow on his back, aimed at Duan Tianlang.
But Duan Tianlang's gaze was calm, a sly smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, many powerful figures suddenly appeared beside Duan Tianlang, their cold auras erupting, murderous intent revealing, extremely sharp.
A great battle was about to break out.
"Wait."
Just then, a loud shout rang out from the crowd, particularly clear and loud. Immediately, the crowd saw a figure stepping out.
The person wore a bronze mask, making it impossible to see his face.
Liu Canglan glanced sideways, intending to make a move, but seeing this bronze mask, he couldn't help but tremble. The arrow on the bowstring also slowed down.
"It's him!"
Liu Canglan had seen Lin Feng. In the Cloud Sea Sect, he had wanted to abandon his cultivation, but was stopped by Lin Feng. Later, when he heard what Lin Feng said to his subordinates, he knew that the person wearing the bronze mask was Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, who had saved the Cloud Sea Sect with his life.
"This has nothing to do with you right now, leave."
Liu Canglan coldly scolded, but how could Lin Feng not understand his intention? He calmly shook his head, saying to Liu Canglan, "Since the general has already seen through everything, why bother coming to the imperial city?"
"For justice." Liu Canglan replied indifferently, not expecting Lin Feng to interfere, putting him in a dilemma.
"Justice? That's just the general's idea of justice. In the eyes of others, this justice is just a game for the general's life. Justice is worthless."
Lin Feng shook his head. As he stepped forward, he walked to Liu Canglan's side, looking at Duan Tianlang.
"King Tianlang, on the day the Snow Moon Holy Academy is established, may I ask you a few questions?"
Duan Tianlang frowned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly appear, but today's matter had to be handled beautifully, so he didn't refuse, responding coldly, "Speak!"
"Why is the Snow Moon Holy Academy named the Holy Academy?"
"Purity and nobility, for 'holy.' The Snow Moon Holy Academy, named after the 'Holy Academy,' signifies the high status and noble identity of the Snow Moon Holy Academy."
"I see." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then pointed to the crowd of the Snow Moon Holy Academy. "Among them, some are from the Moon Palace Sect, some are from the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa, and some are from the Cloud Sea Sect that you destroyed. Now, they are all disciples of the Snow Moon Holy Academy. According to King Tianlang's meaning, by recruiting people from other sects, they are considered noble, and by placing those rebels in the Snow Moon Holy Academy, it is considered holy, right?"
As Lin Feng's words fell, the crowd instantly quieted down, and Duan Tianlang's eyes also widened.
"Just now, King Tianlang was also ashamed of the word 'rebel,' but isn't it rebellion for the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, who were saved by you, King Tianlang, to follow you? How can an academy that accommodates these rebels and rabble be called holy? And it even bears the name of Snow Moon, becoming a symbol of Snow Moon? Please forgive my ignorance, King Tianlang, and enlighten me."
Lin Feng, with such a powerful mouth and sharp words, left Duan Tianlang speechless!
