After Fang Yang and Gu Yue parted ways, he returned to the dormitory with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.
The three had just settled down in their room when the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhou Changxi rushed in, panting, with an anxious expression on his face: "This is bad! A group of people have come to the entrance of Eastsea Academy and blocked the gate!"
Tang Wulin immediately stood up: "Zhou Changxi, what's going on?"
"Those people are holding your and Gu Yue's photos, shouting for the Academy to hand you over."
Zhou Changxi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "From the looks of it, they're not to be trifled with. I estimate the Disciplinary Office will send someone to find you very soon."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Yang looked out the window, deep in thought.
Xie Xie sneered, pulling out his spirit tool communicator from his怀, "It seems those guys from yesterday have called for backup."
He dialed a number.
A respectful voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Butler, immediately bring people to Eastsea Academy. Someone is causing trouble," Xie Xie said curtly.
"Understood, this subordinate will arrange it now."
After ending the call, the elderly butler turned and walked towards the study.
Inside the Xie Family mansion.
The Xie Family Head was reviewing documents. Seeing the butler's hurried expression, he looked up and asked, "What happened?"
"Master, Young Master encountered some trouble at school…"
The pen in the Xie Family Head's hand suddenly paused, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes: "Xie Xie… he's finally willing to contact the family?"
His voice carried a hint of bitterness.
The butler sighed softly: "Master, Young Master… he is still your son after all."
The Xie Family Head stood up and walked to the window, his back appearing somewhat desolate: "I wronged his mother back then… he has never forgiven me all these years…"
"Master, what happened back then was unavoidable for you…"
The butler advised.
"Enough."
The Xie Family Head waved his hand, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, "Immediately arrange for people. I want to see who dares to touch my Xie Family's people in Eastsea City!"
"Yes! This subordinate will go at once."
After the butler left, the Xie Family Head looked at the scenery outside the window and murmured to himself, "Xie Xie… your father is sorry for you…"
At the same time, Tang Wulin also pulled out his spirit tool communicator.
"Hello, President Mu Chen, this is Tang Wulin."
His voice carried a hint of apology, "I've run into a bit of trouble here. Could I ask you to come to Eastsea Academy?"
Mu Chen's hearty laugh came from the other end of the spirit tool communicator: "Wu Lin, it's rare for you to contact me proactively. All right, I'll bring people over now."
Inside the Forging Master Association.
Mu Chen put down the spirit tool communicator, a thoughtful expression on his face.
As the President of the Eastsea City Forging Master Association, he rarely received such calls for help.
But Tang Wulin was different; the forging talent this young man displayed was truly a once-in-a-century occurrence.
"It seems I'll have to go myself," Mu Chen stood up.
He instructed his assistant: "Immediately arrange for people to go to Eastsea Academy."
"Yes! Your Excellency, President."
The assistant quickly responded.
Zhou Changxi stared dumbfounded at Xie Xie and Tang Wulin: "You guys… just called for people directly?"
Fang Yang walked over and patted Tang Wulin and Xie Xie on the shoulders: "Let's go, let's go out and see."
The three of them quickly walked outside, and Zhou Changxi also followed out of curiosity.
Just as they exited the dormitory building, they ran into Gu Yue, who had a calm expression.
"Gu Yue, you heard about it too?" Fang Yang asked.
Gu Yue nodded slightly: "It must be about yesterday, right?"
"Let's go, I want to see what capabilities they have."
A cold light flickered in Xie Xie's eyes, and he was about to walk towards the Eastsea Academy gate when Fang Yang pulled him back.
Fang Yang calmly said, "Wait a moment, let's go report to Teacher Wu."
Everyone immediately understood.
Zhou Changxi asked from behind, "This matter has blown up. There are at least two hundred people blocking the gate outside, acting very arrogantly. What exactly did you do?"
Tang Wulin responded briefly, "I'll explain later, let's go find Teacher Wu first."
Wu Changkong's routine was extremely regular; after dinner, he would only Cultivate quietly in his own dormitory, so finding him was not difficult.
When the door opened, Wu Changkong, in a white robe, appeared before Fang Yang and the others, asking coldly, "Have you encountered problems in your Cultivation?"
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin immediately fell silent.
Fang Yang stepped forward: "Teacher Wu, we've gotten into trouble…"
After hearing the report, Wu Changkong uttered a few words expressionlessly: "Killed someone? You certainly have quite some ability!"
Having said that, he already walked out on his own.
His white robe fluttered gently in the wind, his long, flowing hair swayed with it, and his entire being exuded a cool, ethereal Qi, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
Fang Yang held Gu Yue's hand and patted the stunned Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. The four followed closely behind Wu Changkong, walking towards the Academy gate.
Outside the Eastsea Academy gate, it was now completely blocked.
Over two hundred fierce-looking strong men stood in front of the gate, holding various weapons. Many of them openly carried spirit tools that the Federation explicitly prohibited for civilian use.
With the advancement of spirit tool technology, ordinary people could also use basic spirit tools, which gave them the confidence to challenge Eastsea Academy.
On Eastsea Academy's side, many students from the Intermediate and Advanced departments had gathered near the entrance.
In the hands of those fierce-looking strong men opposite, four large photographs were held up.
They were none other than Fang Yang, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie.
In the very front, several strong men carried a stretcher, on which lay the already deceased Guang Long, his pale face forming a stark contrast with the surrounding clamor.
Another group of people held a huge banner that read, "A life for a life, a debt for money, Eastsea Academy, hand over the murderers!"
Even more shocking was the presence of a mecha unit.
The leading mecha was entirely purple, exuding a powerful aura.
Behind him were four yellow mechas, followed by fifteen white mechas.
At this moment, Long Hengxu rushed over with a dozen teachers, and an angry shout rang out: "Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble in front of the Academy gate, and even mobilize the Eastsea spirit tool Mecha Unit without authorization!"
A cold voice came from inside the purple mecha: "I am Guang Biao, the captain of the Eastsea Mecha Brigade. My younger brother died at the hands of your school's students. If you don't hand over the murderers today, we will never give up!"
Long Hengxu's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice: "The Academy will investigate this matter thoroughly. If any student has indeed violated the law, we will not tolerate it. But your blockade of the Academy like this has already broken federal law!"
"Less nonsense!"
Guang Biao roared, "If you don't hand them over within half an hour, we'll go in and find them ourselves!"
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a commotion suddenly arose within the Academy.
The crowd automatically parted to form a passageway, revealing Wu Changkong, in a white robe, walking slowly, followed by Fang Yang and the four others.
"It's them!"
Guang Biao's eyes blazed with ferocity, "Take them down!"
The four yellow mechas and fifteen white mechas immediately surrounded Wu Changkong and his group.
