It was difficult to say whether Qin Ning should be killed just like that.
But the Son of Heaven Faction would certainly not let it go.
"Alright!"
Jin Yilei nodded. "The death penalty can be waived, but using puppets to steal points from others and slaughtering disciples – many other disciples already know about this, so a living punishment is unavoidable!"
"Oh?" Lie Huo Laozu frowned slightly.
"Abolish his cultivation and expel him from the academy!" Jin Yilei said.
Qin Shan's expression immediately changed as he looked at Lie Huo Laozu.
"Impossible!"
Lie Huo Laozu roared, "If that happens, how can Qin Ning protect himself?"
"Elder Lie Huo, I've already made a huge concession, and you're still not satisfied? How am I supposed to answer to the other disciples then?"
"Not satisfied!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone was stunned.
The elders were discussing how to punish Qin Ning; who dared to interrupt?
Everyone focused on the martial arts stage, and it was Qin Ning.
Qin Ning frowned slightly and said, "I've already made it clear: I discovered the puppet, it's my puppet, so using it doesn't count as a violation of the rules."
"Secondly, people wanted to kill me; I wanted to live, so naturally, I had to kill back!"
"Thirdly, stealing points is even less of a violation of the rules."
"I haven't done anything wrong, and the academy's rules can't bind me!"
Qin Ning's impatience was evident at this moment.
Seeing this, Ye Yuanjuan had a bad premonition.
Every time she saw Qin Ning's impatient expression, something bad would happen, perhaps even… murder!
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
The three honorary elders, Jin Yilei, Song Fengyu, and Chang Liang, almost shouted in unison.
These elders held extremely high positions in the Heavenly God Academy, yet a mere inner disciple repeatedly showed no remorse, acting self-righteous.
Did he really think the Heavenly God Academy was his family's business?
These words caused everyone to freeze.
Qin Ning's face also darkened.
"A mere inner disciple who shows no remorse and argues with an honorary elder, who gave you such audacity?!"
Du Yuran also snorted.
"If you say one more word, I won't hesitate to kill you!" Qin Ning looked over and said, "The Son of Heaven behind you isn't your golden ticket to immunity yet, understand?"
Qin Ning's words made Du Yuran's face turn cold.
He was a Spirit Disciple, a master of the ninth layer of the Spirit Platform realm, only inferior to a few Spirit Sons in the Heavenly God Academy.
As the leader of the Son of Heaven Faction, he had always been the one threatening others; when had he ever been threatened?
Qin Ning was already struggling to survive, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly now, threatening to kill him?
"Elders!"
Du Yuran cupped his hands again and said, "This brat dares to threaten to kill a disciple in front of all the elders! If he's not dealt with severely—"
*Thud!*
*Bang bang!*
Suddenly, Du Yuran, who was speaking, was abruptly dragged onto the martial arts stage by a black shadow and had his head smashed.
Brain matter flowed out as the black shadow continuously punched down, showing no mercy.
Qin Ning looked at the bloody corpse and said, "I told you, if you said one more word, I'd kill you!"
"I don't like to go back on my word."
Immediately, silence fell over the surroundings.
Ye Yuanjuan was dumbfounded.
Qin Hai, Lu Xuan, Xun Yu, and Zhang Xiaoshuai were frozen in shock.
Lie Huo Laozu, Jin Yilei, Chang Liang, and Song Fengyu's eyes were wide with astonishment.
Qin Ning dared to kill Du Yuran right in front of them and everyone else.
Qin Ning was very annoyed at this moment.
The original rules of the Heavenly God Academy were set by his disciple, Tian Qingshi, and then confirmed with him, the grand-ancestor.
This time, entering the Heavenly God Academy, he wanted to quietly be a disciple who didn't break the rules.
But these people were too insolent.
Dare to punish him?
Use the rules he set to deal with him?
Then let's see who deals with whom!
"Qin Ning, you arrogant fool!"
Jin Yilei was extremely furious.
Even if Qin Ning was innocent at this moment, he had become guilty.
Dare to kill a Spirit Disciple in front of the elders.
Is this guy insane?
Lie Huo Ancestor was stunned.
He couldn't protect Qin Ning anymore, even if he wanted to.
Qin Shan was completely dumbfounded, his mind buzzing. He quickly looked at Jin Yilei, clasped his hands, and said, "Elder Jin, my junior brother was just impulsive!"
"Get out!"
Jin Yilei slapped him, and Qin Shan's body curved like a bullet, shooting back to his original spot.
"Shan'er!"
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!"
Lie Huo Ancestor, Qin Hai, and Qin Ning were all stunned.
Qin Shan's body had only just recovered, but his cultivation was at the most basic level of the Spirit Sea realm.
How powerful was a punch from the Spirit Soul realm?
"Shan'er!"
Lie Huo Ancestor was heartbroken to the extreme.
He quickly pulled out a green spirit pill and made Qin Shan swallow it.
"Qin Ning is so insolent, yet you still speak up for him. I think you, Lie Huo Ancestor, have a disciple who's tired of living!"
"Jin Yilei, if anything happens to my disciple, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Hmph!" Jin Yilei snorted back, not caring at all.
Today, if he didn't kill Qin Ning, he wouldn't know what to do about the Son of Heaven.
"Who gave you permission to attack!"
Qin Ning's expression had completely darkened at this moment.
At the same time, the three Spirit Disciples, Liu Fangyu, Fang Shicheng, and Yuan Gang, also showed a joyful smile at seeing someone else's misfortune.
Qin Ning was seeking death again.
Being stubborn with an honorary elder? In this entire Heavenly God Academy, even a Spirit Son wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
"Not only do I want to attack, I also want to kill you, you little brat!"
Jin Yilei was furious to the extreme.
Song Fengyu and Chang Liang were also brimming with killing intent.
"Kill me?"
Qin Ning sneered, stepped forward, and said, "If the Heavenly God Academy has a bunch of stupid old men like you, even Tian Qingshi would have to jump out of his coffin to slap you to death!"
"Insolent!"
"Arrogant!"
"Who allowed you to speak the name of the first generation academy head?"
The three elders were brimming with killing intent.
"Do you think a mere Spirit Wheel realm puppet is enough to save your life?"
Jin Yilei scoffed, raised his hand, and reached out to grab Qin Ning.
Seeing this, Ye Yuanyuan stepped forward.
"Step back!"
Qin Ning said.
"But!"
"Step back!"
Qin Ning said again, "If I can't deal with these old men, that would be truly shameful!"
Ye Yuanyuan slowly retreated.
At this moment, Jin Yilei had already rushed in front of Qin Ning.
"Die!"
