Zi Xing felt somewhat relieved when he saw Elder Yang intervene personally, but his concern for Ye Qingchen lingered. He hurried over to the Teleportation Array to await news about him.
When Elder Yang reappeared, he was already at Mu Changfeng's side, asking him what had happened in the Secret Realm.
Mu Changfeng had sensed early on that something was amiss. However, since the matter involved the Ten Ancient Clans, he understood he had little say and resigned himself to suffering a hidden loss this time. Thus, when Elder Yang questioned him, Mu Changfeng's answer was that the other three major academies had colluded with the Ten Ancient Clans to target Central Celestial Academy. Their goal was to ensure the academy finished last in this assessment.
"Foolish!" Elder Yang couldn't help but scold loudly upon hearing Mu Changfeng's words.
