Yan Jingren’s expression had already changed drastically.
Yan Xing’s face was pale, and his legs were trembling.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly screamed, “Slander! This is all slander! The Yan family didn’t betray the sect!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zening’s gaze shot over like a sharp sword as he spoke in a solemn voice.
“Since the decree has been issued, there must be conclusive evidence. At this point, there’s no room for you to quibble!”
As if to confirm Shen Zening’s words, more than ten streams of light suddenly rose from afar. After pausing in the air for a moment, they rushed toward the entrance of the academy like meteors.
“The archimandrite, the various inst.i.tute heads, and the tutor have already set off for the White Tiger Mountain. Together with the cultivator masters of the sect, they will exterminate the Yan family.”
Shen Zening looked at the pale-faced Yan family members who had despair in their eyes.
“Surrender!”
There were more than twenty Yan family disciples present. At this moment, they were all gathered together.
Including Yan Xing, these disciples had all turned ghastly pale.
Not all of them knew about the spirit cave. When they heard it from Shen Zening, apart from being shocked, many people were also at a loss.
Yan Jingren glanced at the expressionless and sharp-eyed upper house disciples, then at the ashen-faced Yan family disciples. He sighed inwardly and understood that the situation was hopeless. He couldn’t help but feel dejected.
They had paid such a huge price, but now, they failed and ended up in such a state.
The officials of the sect had clearly reached a consensus to destroy their Yan family.
With the strength of the Yan family alone, it was impossible to resist the colossus of the sect.
The Yan family’s demise was a foregone conclusion!
However, Yan Jingren couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
However, it was useless to figure that out now. Yan Jingren knew that even if he asked Shen Zening, the latter wouldn’t tell him. He might as well not waste his effort.
However, he wouldn’t surrender without putting up a fight.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Jingren suddenly took out a sword. He looked at Shen Zening and expressed his att.i.tude with his actions.
. when he saw this.
“The archimandrite has decreed that anyone who kills Yan Jingren will receive three Golden Essence Pills!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the square changed.
The disciples looked at Yan Jingren with eager eyes.
That was the Golden Marrow Pill!
It was a precious pill that could allow one to comprehend the cultivator master stage in advance and could greatly increase one’s cultivation efficiency!
If the value of the Golden Essence Pill was calculated using merit points, it would be worth at least a hundred medium merits!
Of course, no one would be willing to sell the Golden Marrow Pill.
However, when they came back to their senses, most of the disciples looked rather regretful.
Yan Jingren was at the Bright Aperture Stage. Only disciples at that stage could deal with him. The Long Breath Stage disciples could forget about it.
Yan Jingren’s expression darkened when he heard what Shen Zening said.
It was obvious that the Nine Yang Academy had already sealed the gate. The Yan family members in the academy were like birds in a cage. There was no hope of escaping.
Even if the academy wasn’t sealed off, their chances of escaping were still very slim.
There were nine upper-house disciples and hundreds of lower house disciples. Unless Yan Jingren became a cultivator master on the spot, it was impossible for him to break out.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the archimandrite still issued such a decree. He was clearly preparing to use Yan Jingren to train his disciples!
Yan Jingren took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He regained his composure.
Since he couldn’t escape, he could only fight!
Perhaps he could drag someone down with him before he died!
Seeing the change in Yan Jingren’s expression, Shen Zening asked in a solemn voice,
“Which junior brother wants to take the challenge?”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the upper house disciples flickered.
Even for the upper house disciples like them, the temptation of the Golden Marrow Pill was very great.
Not to mention that there were three of them!
Everyone wanted to get this reward.
However, they had to think carefully when their opponent was Yan Jingren.
Yan Jingren was already at the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage half a year ago. Now that half a year had pa.s.sed and he had the help of the spirit cave, his strength had probably increased greatly.
Furthermore, he was a cornered beast in this battle. He would definitely give it his all. If they weren’t careful, not only would they not be able to kill Yan Jingren, but they would also suffer a huge loss. They had to consider it carefully.
As for joining forces… Their opponent was already cornered. It would be such a humiliation if they had to fight him together.
Moreover, who would be willing to share the Golden Marrow Pills with others?
Seeing that the upper house disciples were silent and hesitant, Yan Jingren couldn’t help but mock them.
“What, no one dares to come up and fight me?”
The disciples of the upper house were all proud and arrogant. How could they tolerate the ridicule of Yan Jingren, who was about to die? They were all enraged.
Someone immediately stepped out from the crowd and snorted.
“What’s there to be arrogant about? Yan Jingren, let me fight you!”
It was Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao had once competed with Xie Jingsheng for the Golden Essence Pill. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the end and missed the opportunity to obtain the pill.
Because of this, he was obsessed with obtaining the Golden Marrow Pill. He had long been eager for the rewards of the three Golden Marrow Pills. However, he felt that Yan Jingren was quite powerful and wasn’t confident that he could win. He wanted to wait for a moment and let the others test Yan Jingren’s strength before taking action.
Who would have thought that Yan Jingren would be so arrogant and mock them so blatantly?
How could Jiang Hao endure this? He stopped hesitating and stepped forward.
“The Yan family has just obtained the underground spirit cave. Even if Yan Jingren can enter it to cultivate, it wouldn’t have been long. No matter how big his improvement is, it’ll be limited. I entered the upper house a year earlier than him. I don’t believe I can’t defeat this guy!”
As his thoughts raced, Jiang Hao calmed down a little. With a flip of his wrist, a Nine Yang Talisman Sword appeared out of thin air in his palm. The cold tip of the sword was pointed at Yan Jingren.
“Today, 1’11 let you have a taste of my Nine Divine Sun Sword!”
Yan Jingren narrowed his eyes and revealed a cold smile.
“I can’t wait.”
The moment he said the last word, Yan Jingren had already stabbed out with his sword and shot toward Jiang Hao like a bolt of lightning.
The latter smiled coldly and charged forward fearlessly.
In the blink of an eye, they were engaged in a fierce battle!
