Chapter 189 - 191: Arriving at the Immortal Ancient Academy
The representatives of the eight great Hidden Families, after hearing the remarks from these few individuals, although a hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces, these sly old foxes would hardly take these words to heart.
"Even if we all originally came from the Mortal World, that is a thing of the past. Now, if you can’t offer us satisfactory compensation, we will not help you." The speaker was an elder of a Hidden Family, a Basic Level Martial Saint in strength, and could be considered as a main combat force.
Upon hearing his shameless words, the people of the Mortal World were instantly angered. Even if you forget your roots, can you not be shameless?
The crowd began to argue again, the conference hall turned chaotic like a pot of porridge. A group that would usually be considered prestigious figures were now quarreling like children.
"Enough, stop talking." Xuanyuan Mingkong, as the Vice Dean of Immortal Ancient Academy, was attending this negotiation on behalf of the Academy.
Hearing him speak, everyone quieted down, looking eagerly at him, wanting to hear his solution.
"First of all, I must tell you that the Immortal Ancient Academy must remain intact. Now that both the Demon World and Immortal World are collapsing, the Mortal World is the last sanctuary. We can still reconcile with the Immortal World, but the Demon World must be eradicated—on this mater, I hope everyone agrees. Even if the eight great Hidden Families have left the Mortal World for a long time, your roots are still here. Therefore, we must form an alliance no matter what. As for the demand for a place rich in Spiritual Energy, that is negotiable. However, apart from the people of the academy, there will be no changes here at the Immortal Ancient Academy," Xuanyuan Mingkong declared. In fact, he felt indignant. If not for the fact that the successive Deans of the academy had not returned, the Immortal Ancient Academy would not have compromised with them.
Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work on ifs.
"Why should we listen to you? Who can you represent?" A younger-looking individual from a Hidden Family challenged.
