# Chapter 1981: The Pressure of the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans
At this moment, everyone in War King Academy looked up, their eyes filled with shock. The War King Alarm Bell—what had happened to cause it to ring after a thousand years of silence?
The Four Great Academies had stood in Holy City Central Continent for countless years, their brilliance dazzling, their foundations even deeper than those of the Ancient Saint Clans. Moreover, the academies rarely had conflicts with the Ancient Saint Clans of the outside world. In fact, the Ancient Saint Clans often sent their children to the academies for cultivation. Therefore, the academies rarely encountered dangerous situations. It had been several thousand years since this alarm bell had last sounded.
"Nine-colored light, a King-level alarm bell. Heavens, what exactly is happening?" Some of the old-timers of War King Academy revealed expressions of shock. The King-level alarm bell was the highest level of alarm. Many students who had recently joined War King Academy did not even know what it meant, showing confused expressions.
Even Lin Feng looked blankly at the void, not understanding what was happening. He was not very familiar with some of the academy's ancient rules. However, at this moment, from the Immortal Mountain of War King Academy, a terrifying aura spread out, instantly covering the entire academy. Suddenly, several figures rushed out of the Immortal Mountain at the same time. Even those who were cultivating flickered out, charging straight toward the location of the four powerful auras.
"Whose auras are those?" Just then, Lin Feng suddenly felt himself locked onto by several powerful auras. In an instant, from the distant void, strands of terrifying aura seemed to spread over. Four figures stepped through the void, each step seeming to cross space itself, teleporting as they moved. In the blink of an eye, they appeared above Lin Feng, like four ancient kings.
Lin Feng's expression was greatly alarmed, his heart pounding violently. Old Man Xiao's intuition had been correct after all. There really were powerful experts tracking him, and such terrifying existences at that—four of them in total.
"Lin Feng!" One of the powerful experts snorted coldly, his hand suddenly trembling. Instantly, Lin Feng felt a terrifying force bind him. The void around him seemed to freeze, controlled by someone.
"Who dares to touch him!" A thunderous roar rolled in like a clap of thunder, shaking heaven and earth. Rumbling, terrifying pressure spread over as Slaying Heaven Ancestor and Profound Heaven Ancestor appeared simultaneously, descending from the sky and landing above Lin Feng, their eyes coldly sweeping over the people before them.
"Ji Clan, Yuwen Clan, Ying Clan, Pei Clan—quite the formation. Four Saint Emperor-level figures, all coming to seize a disciple of War King Academy?" Slaying Heaven Ancestor's voice rumbled. In the void, wave after wave of vast, powerful auras descended. Suddenly, figures appeared in the surrounding void. These were the powerful experts who had been cultivating bitterly in the Immortal Mountain. When they heard the alarm bell sound, they all rushed over at the same time, spreading their divine senses to cover the academy, and then found this place.
This thunderous shout echoed through the academy, causing countless people in War King Academy to tremble violently in their hearts. The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans, four Saint Emperor-level figures—all coming to War King Academy to deal with Lin Feng? What kind of formation was this? It was earth-shattering.
"Slaying Heaven Ancestor, we have not come here to cause trouble without reason. Lin Feng, together with Xiao Wutian, killed Ji Qingsong, a Heavenly Emperor-level expert of my Ji Clan. Furthermore, he controlled Ji Jiang of my Ji Clan and slaughtered Ji Jiang's uncle. I had no choice but to come to the academy to take the person. I hope the elder will understand." The Saint Emperor of the Ji Clan said calmly. Since the four Saint Emperors had arrived, they were prepared to put pressure on War King Academy.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. These people actually knew that he and Xiao Wutian had joined forces to kill Ji Qingsong. This should have been impossible. How had it been exposed?
"This is a matter of the Ji Clan. What about the other clans?" Slaying Heaven Ancestor said indifferently.
"The ancestor should know about the enmity between Xiao Wutian and my Ying Clan. Lin Feng was recently together with Xiao Wutian and a woman—that woman behind him. As for Xiao Wutian, he suddenly disappeared." The Saint Emperor of the Ying Clan swept his gaze over Xiao Ya, causing her face to instantly turn pale. That single glance was something she could barely endure.
"After Lin Feng attended the birthday celebration of Yin Rui of the Silver Clan, he killed the young experts of my Ji Clan and the Yuwen Clan. This debt naturally cannot be overlooked." The Saint Emperor of the Yuwen Clan continued.
"On the day of the joyous occasion between my Pei Clan and the Silver Clan, Lin Feng came to cause trouble, scheming and threatening to disrupt the marriage between my Pei Clan and the Silver Clan." The Saint Emperor of the Pei Clan said last. All four Saint Emperors had reasons to deal with Lin Feng, and they had justifications for their actions. Lin Feng could not argue his way out even if he wanted to.
"For such matters, four Saint Emperors come out together?" Slaying Heaven Ancestor said coldly, sweeping his gaze over the four before him. How could he not know their intentions?
"A Heavenly Emperor of my Ji Clan died at the hands of this brat. Is that a small matter?"
"And there is also the matter of Xiao Wutian." The Saint Emperors of the Ji Clan and the Ying Clan said coldly. Around them, more and more powerful experts of War King Academy gathered in the void, causing the students of War King Academy to be shaken with shock. Which of the Ancient Saint Clans of Holy City Central Continent was not exalted high above, with no one daring to provoke them easily? And yet Lin Feng had offended all four Ancient Saint Clans. He was acquainted with Xiao Wutian, had killed Ji Qingsong, a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, and had also slain the young experts of the Ji Clan and the Yuwen Clan. His audacity was too great. If not for his exceptional talent, War King Academy would never have protected him like this. The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans had their reasons and evidence, and their words carried weight.
"Ridiculous." Just then, a cold laugh rang out, coming from Lin Feng himself. Slaying Heaven Ancestor looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, do you have anything to say? Speak freely."
"First, regarding the disruption of the marriage between the Pei Clan and the Silver Clan, I descended upon the Pei Clan openly and honestly. I never made any promises to your Pei Clan. It was your Pei Clan that was greedy, breaking the agreement for the sake of treasure, causing the Silver Clan to withdraw from the marriage. That is your reason for a Saint Emperor to make a move? The greatest absurdity under heaven. Second, the Yuwen Clan and the Ji Clan say I killed their clansmen. I admit it—I did kill those people. However, on the day of Yin Rui's birthday banquet, I was planning to return to the academy when the young experts of the Ji Clan and the Yuwen Clan joined forces to ambush me. Was I supposed to just stand there and let them kill me? Third, regarding Ji Qingsong's death—yes, I did that too. What status did Ji Qingsong have? A Heavenly Emperor-level expert of the Ji Clan. Why would I scheme to kill him? Because, as a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, he used an illusory realm to trick me into revealing the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. When I discovered this, he stole my sister's memories and used some of her secrets to threaten me. I turned his scheme against him, and he came to me for the treasure. Such a despicable person—why could I not kill him? Was I supposed to willingly submit to his threats and hand over the Heavenly Derivation Scripture? Fourth, Xiao Wutian and I are acquaintances. So what? Just because we know each other, the Ying Clan can kill me or take me away? The enmity between your Ying Clan and Xiao Wutian—you want to impose it on me?"
Lin Feng admitted to everything one by one. Since the four Saint Emperors had come to War King Academy in person, they had clearly come prepared. Denying it would be impossible. But at least he wanted to make sure they had no sufficient reason to touch him, giving them no excuse.
"As for the matter between the Pei Clan and the Silver Clan, everyone in Holy City Central Continent knows about it. For such a trivial matter to trouble a Saint Emperor of the Pei Clan to come to my War King Academy to demand a person—that is far too disrespectful to my War King Academy. As for the people of the Yuwen Clan and the Ji Clan joining hands to ambush Lin Feng, only to be killed by him in return—they deserved to die. As for Ji Qingsong, a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, dealing with two juniors—such a scoundrel. If I had known, I would have personally killed him. Finally, regarding the matter of Xiao Wutian, your Ying Clan seems to have come to the wrong person. I am also acquainted with Xiao Wutian. Should I be taken away as well?"
Slaying Heaven Ancestor coldly swept his gaze over the people before him, following up on Lin Feng's words.
"My War King Academy cannot entertain you all. Please, take your leave." Profound Heaven Ancestor also said calmly, directly dismissing them.
"With just a few words from this brat, he wants to shirk all responsibility? It is not that simple. Allow us to take Lin Feng away and investigate properly. If it really has nothing to do with him, we guarantee we will return him safe and sound." The Saint Emperor of the Ji Clan remained expressionless, his voice calm. Both being in Holy City Central Continent, one being an Ancient Saint Clan and the other an academy, they naturally could not easily fall out. Their goal was to apply pressure. If War King Academy could not withstand that pressure, they would naturally hand over Lin Feng.
"Take him away? What do you take War King Academy for?" Slaying Heaven Ancestor's voice turned colder.
"War King Academy has been passed down in Holy City Central Continent for countless years. We Ancient Saint Clans all respect it and send our family disciples here to cultivate. However, Lin Feng has done so many things that anger both heaven and man. For War King Academy to shield him like this is somewhat excessive, don't you think?"
"You mean that if you want a person, my War King Academy must hand over our disciple to you?" Slaying Heaven Ancestor snorted coldly.
"Then you mean to say that Ji Qingsong and his son of my Ji Clan, as well as Ji Jiang and the others, and the people of the Yuwen Clan and the Ying Clan—they all died for nothing?" The Saint Emperor of the Ji Clan spoke again, his voice cold.
"I have already said that those who deserved to die died, and those who did not deserve to die have nothing to do with Lin Feng. The four of you, please take your leave." Slaying Heaven Ancestor waved his sleeve, dismissing them again.
"Very well. This is War King Academy. My Ji Clan gives face to the academy and respects it. Naturally, we will not act recklessly within the academy. However, as long as Lin Feng or anyone related to Lin Feng steps out of War King Academy, there are some things we must do. The academy protects its disciples, but my Ji Clan cannot allow its direct descendants to die at the hands of others for nothing." The Saint Emperor of the Ji Clan said coldly.
"My Yuwen Clan feels the same."
"And my Ying Clan as well. Lin Feng, I will find out the relationship between you and Xiao Wutian." The Saint Emperor of the Ying Clan said coldly.
"So this is how War King Academy shields its students. My Pei Clan has seen it clearly now."
The four Saint Emperors each made their stance clear, causing all the powerful experts of War King Academy to feel a chill in their hearts. The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans were joining forces to put pressure on the academy. What a grand formation and determination. They were using this method to coerce Lin Feng, making it so that he could not step out of the academy gates!
