He Qionghai and Zhang Zangxiang looked calm, and seemed to have no choice but to accept the current situation.
"Worse than pigs and dogs," a university scholar cursed in a low voice, but everyone could hear it, and everyone knew who he was cursing and which family he was cursing.
"If you speak rudely again, you will be expelled from Zeying Academy," Lei Tingzhen snorted coldly.
Zeyingyuan was quiet.
The Lei family and the Zong family have completely taken control of the Selecting Institute
Many university scholars were filled with despair. They did not expect that after fighting for so long, this would be the result.
The anger in the hearts of some university scholars was growing stronger and stronger, and they were ready to come forward to express their feelings at any time, even if it meant being kicked out of the Selection Academy, because the outcome was already determined.
"Brother Yun, what about you?" Lei Tingzhen looked at the great scholar Yun Luo with a smile.
While many university scholars were looking at Lei Tingzhen angrily, his smile was simply a provocation to everyone.
Yun Luo lowered his head slightly and did not speak for a long time.
Lei Tingzhen smiled and said, "I can wait."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the other grand secretaries of the Zeying Academy arrived one after another. With more people, the Zeying Academy seemed even more gloomy.
Everyone is waiting for the final news. Once Yun Luo submits to the Lei family, everything will be settled and Lei Chongmo will become the leader of the four talents.
Lei Tingzhen's face was rosy, and he occasionally chatted and laughed with his friends nearby, feeling confident of victory.
Lei Tingzhen seemed to have become the master of Zeyingyuan.
Time passed slowly, and Zeyingyuan became terribly quiet, making people feel breathless.
Yun Luo did not speak until late at night.
No one left, but kept their minds focused on Zeying Academy, quietly waiting for the final result.
After a long time, Lei Tingzhen finally lost his patience and said, "At sunrise, please make the final decision, Mr. Yun."
When the first ray of sunlight in the east fell over the Holy Academy, the atmosphere in Zeying Academy became particularly solemn.
Lei Tingzhen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yunluo, please make your decision."
Yun Luo sighed deeply and slowly raised his head.
Suddenly, the funeral bell of the Holy Temple rang softly, reaching the ears of all scholars who had passed the Jinshi examination or above.
The death knell tolls.
When the head of an aristocratic family, a literary leader, or an outstanding person of the human race passes away, the Holy Court will ring the funeral bell for him. If he has committed a serious crime, the Holy Court will give up ringing the bell.
This funeral bell was full of information from the Holy Academy. Those who heard it immediately learned that Lei Chongmo, the head of the Lei family, had passed away. This man had married the princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace and created the Jiaolong Wentai. He was a role model for the human race, an important official of the Holy Academy, and a meritorious official of the human race.
Many of the Grand Secretaries of the Selection Academy did not show any signs of sadness, but they had to pretend to be sad.
If it were normal times, even if these grand secretaries hated Lei Chongmo, they would never pretend to be sad. After all, death is the greatest thing. But after witnessing the despicable tactics of the Lei family in the past two days, they could no longer have any sympathy for the dead Lei Chongmo.
"Chongmo" Lei Tingzhen suddenly shouted loudly, heartbroken, and then his mind left Zeyingyuan.
Yun Luo heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Lei Chongmo has unfortunately passed away, and the world is mourning. Since one of the four great talents is missing, according to the old rules, the Selection Institute will be reopened in three days to re-select the four great talents."
After saying that, Yun Luo left immediately, and the other great scholars and university scholars also left one after another.
After the death knell rang, the entire Lei family burst into tears.
However, scholars from all over the Shengyuan Continent were extremely grateful that Lei Chongmo failed to become the leader of the four great talents, otherwise, this would be a stain in the history of the human race.
An hour later,
The drum at the gate of the holy temple suddenly sounded, and the sound could be heard thousands of miles away.
Boom boom boom
"It is unjust that my Lei family's patriarch, Lei Chongmo, was ambushed and killed by Fang Yun in the war world. I beg all saints to give my Lei family justice and restore a clean sky for the human race." The great scholar Lei Tingzhen brought Lei Chongmo's wives, concubines, children, including the dragon princess, and stood in front of the drum at the gate of the Holy Court in mourning.
Lei Tingzhen beat the drum desperately.
Scholars from various halls of the Holy Academy poured out and stood around the large square of the Holy Academy, looking at the Lei family members at the door.
There are four saints in the Holy Academy. The East Saint is in charge of the clan's internal affairs, the West Saint sits in the Two Worlds Mountain, the South Saint travels in the human world, and the North Saint lurks in the demon world.
After the previous Eastern Saint King Jinglong stepped down, Eastern Saint was ruled by Mo Ju of the Miscellaneous Semi-Saint Sect.
Everyone in the Dongsheng Pavilion slowly walked towards the Dengwen Drum, led by the Dongsheng Pavilion elder and the head of the Zong family, Zong Ganyu.
Zong Ganyu led his men to approach Lei Chongmo, with a sad face, and said: "I am deeply saddened by the death of Chongmo. Such a talented person died in the war world inexplicably. It is a tragedy for the human race and the world. I hope everyone in the Lei family will mourn. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why is Lei Chongmo's death related to Fang Xusheng?"
Lei Tingzhen gnashed his teeth and said, "The West Sea Dragon Palace conveyed the Dragon Saint's decree to my Lei family. In the war realm, Fang Yun killed my Lei family's patriarch Lei Chongmo. How can my Lei family face our ancestors if we don't take revenge? A great saint slaughtered great scholars. The etiquette and laws of the human race have collapsed to this extent. It has never happened before in the ages."
The Lei family members behind Lei Tingzhen burst into tears, and one of Lei Chongmo's concubines even fainted from crying.
Zong Ganyu was horrified and said, "How could this be possible? How could Fang Xusheng kill the head of the Xusheng family? That is a serious crime. It is impossible."
"It is impossible that the Dragon Saint of the West Sea has issued a decree and even listed Fang Yun as an enemy of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea."
Zong Ganyu shook his head in a pretentious manner and said, "What nonsense, Lei Tingzhen, if you slander Fang Xusheng again, the East Saint Pavilion will punish you severely. How could the dignified West Sea Dragon Saint issue a sacred decree for Fang Xusheng?"
"Then, please give the decree of the Dragon Saint of the West Sea," Lei Tingzhen said, and bowed. A white light shot up into the sky, and then a large white scale of the Dragon King appeared in the sky. On the dragon scale, there was dragon language written on it.
The strong pressure of the semi-saint spread throughout the Holy Academy. Everyone saw rippling waves in front of their eyes and heard the ebb and flow of the tide in their ears.
Zong Ganyu was stunned and said in surprise: "This is indeed the decree of the Dragon Saint of the West Sea. According to the contract between the two races, the Dragon Saint's decree is equivalent to the human race's decree. Since the Dragon Saint of the West Sea is a witness, it can be proved that Fang Xusheng did kill Lei Zhongmo, the head of the Lei family. If this is the case, then we may need to ask for a holy judgment."
"Wait a minute," said Gao Mo, a great scholar from the Criminal Hall.
"Oh, Master Gao, what advice do you have for me?" Zong Ganyu said.
Gao Mo said: "Even if His Majesty the Dragon Saint of the West Sea issues a decree, it cannot be a final conclusion. This matter still needs to be investigated by the Criminal Court to determine whether to ask for a holy judgment. Since the Dragon Saint of the West Sea is a witness, then we also need physical evidence, or the motive or chain of evidence that the Void Saint once said."
Lei Tingzhen sneered: "Motive Fang Yun hates my Lei family to the core. Even if my Lei family's patriarch pleads guilty, he won't let him go. What other motive does he need? As for the so-called chain of evidence, the Dragon Saint's decree can prove everything. Let me ask you, if the human race's semi-saint issued a decree, convicting Fang Yun of murder, would you dare to step forward?"
Gao Mo said without hesitation: "Even if the Half Saint identifies the Void Saint as the murderer without evidence, our Criminal Hall can object. Only when the four copies of the Holy Edict of the Four Saints Pavilion are complete, our Criminal Hall has no right to intervene."
Zong Ganyu said: "Gao Gelao is wrong. Dongsheng Pavilion is the master of the family's internal affairs. Once there is solid evidence that Fang Xusheng killed Lei Family Master, Dongsheng can naturally issue a decree to end the matter."
"Whether Xu Sheng is guilty or not is a matter of great importance. Not only does it need to be investigated by the Criminal Palace, but it also needs to be discussed by all the humans and the saints. How can the East Saint Pavilion make the decision on its own?" Gao Mo argued.
