Chapter 580: Sword Court!

Chapter 580: Sword Court!

BOOM! A large explosion pierced through the eardrums of countless onlookers.

"Huh!?"

Hundreds of thousands of Immortals lifted their heads in a daze.

That cherished artifact, the emblem of the Grand Firmament Academy, the Sword Suppression Gate, exploded into fireworks.

It detonated completely, and amidst the splattering of electric snakes, the Sword Suppression Gate crumbled into dust!

The explosion was so sudden that in an instant, tragedy was brewed.

This left nearly all the members of the Thunder Department stupefied, their eyes wide as they watched the scene unfold, their minds blank.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The aftermath of the Sword Suppression Gate's explosion lingered.

Until at last, when the dust settled, where once stood the circular return symbol electric gate, there was now nothing but empty space.

Many wiped their eyes in disbelief, but it was still gone!

"The Sword Suppression Gate!!"

Only when the lightning faded did the cries of disbelief and anguish begin to echo.

For the Sword Cultivators, the Sword Suppression Gate was too vital.

And for the Arbiters of the Grand Firmament Academy, the Sword Suppression Gate was a bridge to the pinnacle of the Immortal path.

Now, that metaphorical bridge had been blown up!

And so, the smug sneers of just moments ago turned into panic and confusion.

"Father!" Bai Zijun's face was frosty, his fingers trembling as he pointed upwards. "The Sword Suppression Gate? It must still be there, right?"

He was still waiting for the Sword Suppression Gate to forge his second Sword Prison!

The other elder Sword Cultivators, keen to increase their Sword Prisons, also depended on the Sword Suppression Gate!

So even Thunder Duke Bai Duo was ashen-faced, his voice hoarse as he said, "It seems to have exploded..."

"How could it..." Bai Ling'er's throat felt choked by a lump, overwhelmingly distressed.

She looked up as the young man in platinum armor gracefully descended from the sky, stifling her words for a long time before finally voicing out, "Did he trigger the Thunder Immortal Formation again, leading to the Sword Suppression Gate's destruction... Father, this calamity isn't related to his talent, is it?"

For a moment, many eyes turned towards Bai Duo. They sought a comforting answer: that the destruction of the Sword Suppression Gate was an accident, not something caused by Yun Xiao's talent.

Just moments ago, they had been mocking Yun Xiao for having talent but no backing, calling him a juicy piece of meat.

But now, that same morsel of meat had shattered the Grand Firmament Academy's golden rice bowl.

Was there still room for laughter?

"This was not a deliberate act on your part, but a miraculous opportunity in the path of the sword. There is no need for rectification. You are innocent!" The Supreme General chuckled, at a loss for words.

Those who harbored resentment felt as if they had been slapped again, their faces aching with pain.

Was that it?

Why did the Supreme General absolve Lu Yao from the significant losses to the Grand Firmament Academy?

He didn't have authority over the Grand Firmament Academy, did he?

People saw the Supreme General replacing Cao Sheng, becoming the patron, while Yun Xiao, like a great steed, seemed unstoppable... and it hurt their hearts!

"Don't envy him; he's completely ruined now." This remark from Bai Duo finally made his children feel a slight relief.

"Right, the Supreme General is not one to favor talents."

Thinking this, many were finally able to let go. In fact, they even started to sneer.

"Lu Yao, when you return to the Cao Immortal Manor later, let this old man see your Sword Soul and marvel at the miracle of a Celestial Emperor's sword," the Supreme General said offhandedly.

"It would be my honor." Yun Xiao nodded.

At this, everyone knew that at least for today, Yun Xiao could walk out of the Grand Firmament Academy with his head held high!

Any dissatisfaction had to be suppressed.

Perhaps only in the upcoming Thunder Department selection could their Grand Firmament Academy vent their frustration.

But just then, Cao Shuo appeared before Yun Xiao and the Supreme General with a serene smile.

The news of her scandal with Yun Xiao had just spread.

If the crowd all knew, how could the Supreme General not be aware?

Yet, after seeing Yun Xiao, he merely glanced at Cao Shuo as usual.

However, Cao Shuo suddenly said, "Lu Yao, congratulations."

"Thank you, Aunt Cao," Yun Xiao responded.

"Just call me Aunt, no need for Cao," Cao Shuo giggled.

"..." Yun Xiao was speechless.

Did this woman not know how embarrassing she was?

Then, in front of everyone, Cao Shuo dropped another bombshell. "Your unprecedented feat at the Grand Firmament Academy has been sent to the Sword Court by flying talisman. I believe those sword lunatics will find you interesting. Your future is boundless!"

As these words were spoken, the expression on the Supreme General's face suddenly chilled. He looked deeply at Cao Shuo, then smiled and said, "Good."
