Chapter 543 The Conference Ends
As the last person emerged, the halo gradually shrank until it disappeared completely.
The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with deep shock because of Ye Ru's words, which contained murderous intent.
"I never imagined that Bei Ming would be killed by this young man. It's terrifying."
"It's not just terrifying, it's downright monstrous. Bei Ming was one of the top experts in the entire Jin Kingdom, but he was killed right here."
Just how powerful is Ye Ru's skill?
Many people were discussing how Bei Ming's talent was renowned in their Jin state, and now he had been killed just like that.
"Bei Ming was actually killed by Ye Ru as well."
Shi Tianze's gaze darkened, and a hint of malice appeared on his face. He then took a deep breath, turned around, and left, eventually disappearing from the scene.
Bei Ming is dead, so there's no point in him staying here. Now he finally realizes that Ye Ru has grown up, and if he wants revenge, he'll probably have to think of another way.
"Ye Ru, you keep saying that Bei Ming attempted to kill my human scholars, but I see that not many scholars have been harmed. Moreover, those scholars who have been harmed were all killed by wild beasts. I'm afraid your words don't have much credibility."
At this moment, the scholar from the Miscellaneous School stood up, looked directly at Ye Ru, and questioned him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's face darkened:
"Does this senior mean that I was jealous of talent and secretly murdered him?"
He never expected that these people from the miscellaneous school would be so shameless, secretly distorting the truth.
"I can't guarantee it, but the fact that Bei Ming's body is lying here proves that you are the murderer. And are you aware of the crime of killing a fellow scholar?"
The scholar, a man of many schools of thought, slapped the chair, his face turning cold, and said...
"Alright, Kong Ling, Shi Tian, Gao Feng, and Xiang Ming can all testify for me. Ask them who did it!"
Ye Ru's wings fluttered slowly, and he finally landed on the ground. He then looked at the eclectic scholar and angrily rebuked him without fear.
"How dare you! Didn't your teachers teach you to respect your elders?! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your teachers!"
The erudite scholar made his move. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and attacked Ye Ru.
"You're going to replace my teacher? You're not worthy! Besides, respect for teachers isn't for someone like you!"
Facing the attack of that eclectic Confucian scholar, Ye Ru showed no fear. The Sacred Ancient Tree suddenly appeared, and then he clenched his fist, and the Emperor-Slaying Blade appeared in his hand.
Sensing the immense power within the Emperor-Slaying Blade, the scholar's expression changed, but he still slammed it down fiercely on Ye Ru.
The wind from his palm whistled, causing the surrounding air to explode, and Ye Ru slashed angrily at the eclectic scholar.
The powerful sword blade shot out fiercely under the horrified gazes of the crowd, finally colliding violently with the palm strike.
Everyone watched the fight with shock, because they never expected that Ye Ru would actually dare to attack this great scholar of the eclectic school!
Moreover, it was in the State of Jin!
It should be noted that the status and power of a great Confucian scholar are extremely high, and they can even mobilize a portion of the power of the Holy Temple to launch an attack.
Moreover, in the State of Jin, no one is allowed to attack scholars of the rank of Great Confucian Scholar or above; otherwise, they will certainly be punished by law!
boom!
A tremendous sound resounded here, and Ye Ru was forced to retreat backward, but the scholar of the miscellaneous schools also took two steps back.
Although it was only two steps, it undoubtedly caused a huge upheaval here!
"Good, very good. You truly deserve to be called a Yanhuang person. You actually dared to attack me."
The scholar, a man of many schools of thought, had a cold expression on his face, and then began to continuously circulate his inner energy.
"Stop! Lü Xian!"
At this moment, Xie Ming hurriedly spoke up, saying that if this eclectic scholar were to kill Ye Ru, the entire human race would likely lose a pillar of strength.
"Xie Ming, are you trying to stop me?"
Lu Xian's gaze turned extremely sinister. He turned around, looked at Xie Ming, and questioned him.
"Enough. Ye Ru is the number one scholar in our Jin Kingdom's literary society. If you force your way in, it will likely cause a stir in the National Academy. Moreover, he is also a rising star of our human race. If you want to kill him, you have to ask me first."
Xie Ming shook his head, and his aura began to surge, finally targeting Lü Xian.
If Lü Xian isn't intimidated, the other party might actually kill Ye Ru.
Lü Xian is not Shi Tianze. Shi Tianze, as the head of the family, is a newly promoted great Confucian scholar, while Lü Xian has been a great Confucian scholar for decades, and his power of the sage path is much stronger than that of Shi Tianze.
"Alright, then I'll let you go for now."
Lu Xian glanced at Ye Ru, then flicked his sleeves and sat down again.
Seeing this, Xie Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Kong Ling and Shi Tian and asked:
Is what Ye Ru said true?
"That's right. Bei Ming and a man named Jing Tian kidnapped us. Ye Ru fought with Bei Ming and killed him in order to save us, but the man named Jing Tian escaped."
Kong Ling bowed to them and then told everyone the whole story, but of course, he did not mention what happened to Long Hai and the others.
This matter is of great importance, and if it were to be revealed, it would likely cause quite a stir.
"Since that's the case, it's purely Bei Ming's own fault, so killing him is fine."
Xie Ming nodded, then looked at Ye Ru and said:
"This literary gathering is now completely over. You should get some rest, and then I will take you to the palace to report back."
"Thank you very much, sir."
Ye Ru nodded, a surge of excitement welling up inside him. He bowed to the man and said...
If he could persuade the Emperor of Jin to agree, he would be able to take these ashes back to report.
"In that case, I hereby declare this year's Scholars' Literature Competition concluded, and the champion is..."
At this point, Xie Ming pointed at Ye Ru, and his clear voice resounded throughout the land:
"Ye Ru!"
"Roar!"
"Well done!"
Many people applauded and cheered. Although Ye Ru was not from their Jin state, his heroic demeanor at the competition venue had completely won them over.
As Xie Ming finished speaking, this literary gathering finally came to a slow close. Ye Ru's literary reputation was extremely well-known from the Yanhuang Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom, and then to the literary circles of the entire Ten Kingdoms. In the following days, Ye Ru simply read books and practiced calligraphy in the inn, taking a good rest for a few days.
Xie Ming's visit on the third day finally broke Ye Ru's peaceful days.
