The Qi Cultivation Emperor Who Snatches Brides, do you think you're funny?

After saying that, Jiang Cheng's aura suddenly surged, and an extremely powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from him and pressed down hard on Jiang Yu.

The momentum was like a tangible wave, carrying the supreme majesty of a Void Realm expert. Wherever it passed, the dust on the ground was instantly pressed tightly against the ground, and the surrounding air seemed to become incredibly heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

Everyone felt an overwhelming, suffocating pressure wash over them. The weaker cultivators turned deathly pale instantly, their legs trembling uncontrollably. Many knelt down with a thud. Even the proud and arrogant cultivators who usually held themselves in high esteem gritted their teeth and desperately circulated their spiritual energy to resist the pressure. Large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, their eyes filled with fear and apprehension.

Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he opened and closed them, his gaze like a tangible ice blade piercing straight at Jiang Yu. He coldly shouted, "Kneel down!"

His voice seemed to possess an irresistible magic, echoing across the square, each word striking the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer.

He was furious. As a teacher at Linlang Academy, he was usually highly respected. When had he ever seen anyone dare to cause trouble so openly in front of the academy and even injure a disciple? This was simply a blatant provocation against the academy's authority, and it was intolerable!
His imposing aura wasn't just meant to force Jiang Yu to kneel; it was also meant to expose this arrogant fool's true colors, forcing him to kneel and admit his mistakes in front of everyone, thus upholding the academy's dignity and letting everyone know that Linlang Academy was not a place where one could run wild.

Under this powerful pressure, Jiang Yu's expression changed slightly. He could clearly feel the terrifying pressure contained in this power, which was the Void-Piercing Power that only a powerful being far beyond the Nascent Soul Realm could release.

However, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, an even stronger fighting spirit ignited within him. It was a stubbornness and indomitable spirit in his bones. The various hardships and injustices he had suffered had already tempered his will to be as hard as steel.

Jiang Yu will only kneel before one person in his entire life!

That's our ancestor!

What a load of bullshit, Linlang Academy! It's all utter rubbish!

Not far from the square, a group of cultivators gathered to watch the spectacle. They either happened to be passing by or had heard that there was something interesting to see, so they all stopped to watch.

At this moment, looking at the extremely tense standoff in the arena, they were all discussing among themselves, their faces showing a variety of expressions.

"Tsk tsk, he really doesn't know his place. This is Linlang Academy, the top cultivation holy land of our Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, with a very deep foundation. How dare he, a mere Nascent Soul Realm nobody, run wild here? Even without the help of the powerful teachers in the academy, just a gatekeeper could probably crush this madman easily."

"Yeah, this guy must be out of his mind. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he defeated two disciples from the academy? Hmph, those two disciples may have some skills, but compared to the academy's real experts, they're nothing. When Mr. Jiang Cheng, who is at the Void Realm, made a move, he obediently gave in, but instead, he's still stubbornly holding on. He must have a death wish."

"But speaking of which, what deep-seated grudge do you think he has against Jiang Yang that he has to go to such lengths, even coming to the gates of Linlang Academy to challenge him? You know, Jiang Yang is a highly regarded figure in the academy. Even the headmaster has praised him as a potential future sage with unlimited potential. This kid dares to cause him trouble, so he must have some kind of backing behind him."

"Hmph, what could he possibly rely on? I bet he just got carried away and blinded by hatred. No matter what his reasons are, causing trouble in front of the Linglang Academy is just courting death. Just you wait and see, once Mr. Jiang Cheng deals with him, this matter will definitely spread throughout our cultivation world, and he'll become a laughingstock."

At this moment, the disciples standing near the gate of Linlang Academy, watching the intense and tense standoff, began to whisper among themselves, each with an expression of either anger or satisfaction. "Hmph, this guy is finally getting his comeuppance. He was so arrogant just now, causing trouble in front of our academy, injuring Senior Brother Zhou Lu and Senior Brother Wang Zhan. I was furious then, and now that Teacher Jiang Cheng has intervened, let's see how arrogant he can be. I think he's definitely going to die today!" A young disciple with rosy cheeks clenched his fists and said indignantly, his eyes filled with resentment towards Jiang Yu, as if Jiang Yu's actions had been a great offense to him personally.

"That's right, doesn't he know where he is? How dare he provoke our Linlang Academy? He's practically courting death. Our academy has stood strong in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty for many years, with a profound foundation and countless powerful figures. How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like him act so arrogantly? His arrogant attitude before made me furious. Now that Teacher Jiang Cheng has unleashed his pressure, no matter how hard he tries to hold on, it's just a death throes. I want to see how long he can keep jumping around." A tall, stern-faced female disciple chimed in, arms crossed, her eyes coldly fixed on Jiang Yu in the arena, filled with disdain.

"I think he's just blinded by hatred. He's lost all basic respect. Who is Senior Brother Jiang Yang from our academy? He's exceptionally talented, upright, and deeply respected by everyone. Yet he's so reckless as to come demanding people, spouting nonsense about settling old scores with Senior Brother Jiang Yang. I'm curious where he gets his confidence from. Does he really think he can cause any trouble here?" A disciple with a rather simple and honest appearance scratched his head, looking puzzled, but his contempt for Jiang Yu was undisguised.

"Whatever his reason, offending our Linlang Academy is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire cultivation world. From now on, he'll have no place to stand in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty. Let's wait and see how Teacher Jiang Cheng teaches him a lesson and makes him pay the price for his arrogance. It will also let everyone know that our Linlang Academy is not to be trifled with." A disciple with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes said with burning eyes. His hand unconsciously rested on the sword at his waist, as if he would rush up and deliver a finishing blow if Jiang Yu made any further moves.

The murmurs grew louder and louder, echoing across the square in front of the academy. Everyone felt that Jiang Yu was now like a fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy, with no chance of ever turning the tables.

In the distance, in a teahouse, Li Xuan sat in a chair, watching this scene with great interest.

Beside him, Old Huang sat upright on the ground, while Tianyi stood behind Li Xuan.

"Ancestor, should I make a move?"

Tianyi asked the question.

Li Xuan shook his head. "No need."

A hint of doubt flashed across Tianyi's eyes.

In front of Linlang Academy, a flash of anger crossed Jiang Cheng's eyes.

"You're asking for it! Die!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he took a step forward and suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud. His face was full of astonishment and shock!

Everyone was stunned!
