The speed of the cruiser was extremely fast. It only took two days to cross the Jia Ma Empire and arrive in the sky above the 'Black-Corner Region' where the Jia Nan Academy was located.
According to the rules of the Jia Nan Academy, one was not allowed to fly within a hundred miles of the Jia Nan Academy. Otherwise, it would be seen as challenging the prestige of the Jia Nan Academy and thus attract the attacks of the Jia Nan Academy's experts. Even the Jia Nan Academy's airship could not do so. Thus, the airship could only land at the Jia Nan Academy's outpost-Peace Town.
As soon as they set foot in Peace Town, a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere immediately assaulted their senses. Even the usual noise that Si Kong was used to hearing was not much. This made the freshmen who had been living in Wu Tan City and its surroundings feel quite surprised. At the same time, it also made them slightly uncomfortable.
One after another, new students from other countries and cities landed, and the scene gradually became lively.
In this enrollment, the Jia Nan Academy had recruited a total of six hundred new students from the three great empires. It could be considered the highest number in history.
Right at this moment, a group of valiant soldiers in armor walked over. Their bodies emitted a heart-palpitating aura that imperceptibly suppressed the noise of the freshmen.
This group of soldiers was the Jia Nan Academy's Law Enforcement Team.
The brawny man who was the leader of the law enforcement team slowly walked towards the formation of Wu Tan City's freshmen. When he arrived in front of Xiao Bieli, he bowed slightly and said,"Welcome back, Lord Xiao Bieli!"
"Yes!" Xiao Bieli nodded slightly.
The burly man continued,"Lord Hu Gan has passed down an order that if you return, you should look for him immediately."”
"Got it. I'll go later.”
"Milord, there are quite a lot of new students this year. Additionally, the people who came from the 'Black-Corner Region' are a mix of good and bad. The order is somewhat difficult to manage. If Milord has nothing else to say, this lowly one will take my leave first.”The burly man bowed slightly and was about to leave.
Xiao Bieli said in a timely manner,"Heavenly Wolf, if there are any ignorant fellows, then let's do things according to the old rules.”
"Yes, my lord!"
The burly man that Xiao Bieli called Tian Lang was one of the squad leaders of the Law Enforcement Team, Wu Tian Lang.
"Also, your kid is not bad. If there's a chance, you can ask him to come to me. I can casually teach him a few sword techniques.”
"Yes, sir! Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Hearing Xiao Bieli's words, Wu Tianlang could not help but be ecstatic.
Wu Tianlang's son was none other than the outer court's young genius, Wu Hao, who was known for his blood sword.
While Xiao Bieli and Wu Tianlang were talking, Xiao Ning curiously asked Xiao Yu,"Elder sister, we are both teachers of the Jia Nan Academy. Why is it that the large man respects little uncle so much and does not care about the other teachers? Also, what did Little Uncle mean by doing things according to the old rules?”
As soon as Desolate Ning asked this question, the group of youths couldn't help but surround him. It was obvious that Desolate Ning's question was exactly what they were thinking.
"Shh! Xiao Ning, don't speak too loudly.”Xiao Yu made a gesture to keep quiet and said cautiously," Now I'm telling you solemnly, no matter how silkpants you were in the Xiao family in the past, no matter how proud you were, you have to keep all of it away when you're here.”
After a pause, Xiao Yu continued,"As for Little Uncle, although he's just an ordinary outer court teacher, his reputation is something that even some old antiques in the inner court are quite afraid of." This was because at this time last year, something had happened in this place. Anyone who knew about this matter would change their expressions at the mention of his uncle's name.”
"Oh? What is it?" The curiosity of the youths was piqued.
Xiao Yu carefully surveyed her surroundings and said,"It's not convenient to talk about this now. You'll know in the future.”
" As for Uncle's old rules…" After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu pointed at the crooked tree in the middle of the square and asked with some lingering fear," Do you know the name of that tree? Do you have any background?"
The youths looked up and saw a crooked ancient tree standing in the center of the square not far away. This ancient tree was pitch-black in color and its crown spread out in all directions. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws like a demon. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it revealed a faint coldness and looked extremely terrifying from afar. The youths 'eyes slowly swept across the tree, and their pupils suddenly constricted. They saw that between the branches of the ancient tree, a few corpses were directly inserted and hung on it. A light breeze blew, swaying and making a creaking sound that made one's hair stand on end.
The youths 'throats rolled in unison, and cold sweat quietly dripped from their foreheads.
"This tree is called the Death Tree!" Xiao Yu spoke in a straightforward manner,"The reputation of this 'Death Spirit Tree' within the entire 'Black-Corner Region' has basically reached a point where it can cause people to be terrified just by hearing it. Many people who have stayed in the 'Black-Corner Region' for some years will never forget that bloody battle between the 'Black-Corner Region' and the Jia Nan Academy." The exact cause of that bloody battle back then was already impossible to investigate. The only thing that people knew was that after that bloody battle, the corpses of two Dou Wangs and one Dou Huang were hung on this Dead Spirit Tree by someone using a cruel method.”
"Ah! The corpses of Dou Wang and Dou Huang…"
" This…How is this possible…"
The moment Xiao Yu's words came out, it immediately deeply shocked the group of Xiao clan youths.
Ignoring the youths 'astonishment, Xiao Yu continued,"Ever since then, there has not been any expert from the 'Black-Corner Region' who dared to barge into this Peace Town with a face full of killing intent. The old rule that Little Uncle mentioned was to hang those who dared to break the order here on the Death Tree.”
"Gulp!" Hearing this, the youths 'throats rolled again, and they could not help but stretch their necks.
But at this moment, Xiao Bieli suddenly said,""Yu 'Er, you're deliberately scaring the newbie again.”
Xiao Yu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said,"What he said is the truth!”
"Yes, yes, yes. What you said is the truth, okay?”Xiao Bieli rubbed his forehead and said in a bad mood. "Hu Gan, that old ghost, has some matters to discuss with me. I will head over first. I will leave the clan members here to you.”
"Uncle, just go ahead. You're so long-winded. If anything happens, even if I can't handle it, there's still Teacher Ruo Lin, right?”Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Bieli shot a glance at Ruo Lin who was maintaining the order of the rookies and said,""I don't trust that woman."
"The two of you really can't take a step back?”
Xiao Bieli didn't continue Xiao Yu's words and turned to Xiao Feng,""Xiao Feng, you're the strongest here. After I leave, you have to cooperate with Yu 'er to complete the admission procedures for the Xiao family's disciples. If there are any ignorant fellows who dare to speak disrespectful words to the Xiao clan disciples or do anything against the Xiao clan disciples, you can kill them with a sword. That set of old rules is useful to others, but it has no restrictions on the people of my Xiao family.”
"Yes, teacher!"
After saying that, Xiao Bieli actually ignored the academy's rules and flew away on his flying sword, leaving behind only a tall back view of the Xiao clan's disciples.
