Dongfang Mian was only at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm. She could barely withstand a single Spirit Venerable, let alone two. She was completely powerless to fight back.
I should have called Yan Lin and A Ju over no matter what.
Dongfang Mian turned her gaze to the depths of the Dongfang family. She knew that the Dongfang family also had a Spirit Venerable Realm ancestor who had been in deep slumber. If he could make a move to buy some time, she should be able to summon Aju and Yan Lin in time.
Seemingly sensing Dongfang Mian's thoughts, the Dongfang family head shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Our ancestor made a move when they were besieging the Dongfang family disciples, but unfortunately, one man's fists cannot fight four hands. Our ancestor was seriously injured and was no longer able to make a move."
"Stop pinning your hopes on your dying ancestor. Hurry back with us and accept the judgment of the two dynasties. This way, your Dongfang family can at least save the lives of the old, weak, women and children, and it can also be considered as preserving the lineage of your Dongfang family," the old man said.
"You mean even if I go with you, you won't let my grandfather and uncle go?"
"Of course, who would keep a few dogs in front of them that might bite them at any moment?" the old man sneered, seemingly mocking Dongfang Mian's foolishness.
"What heinous crime have I committed that has caused two great dynasties to join forces against our Dongfang family?" Dongfang Mian asked coldly.
"Ridiculous. Putting aside whether the disappearance of Yuwen Hao, the second prince of the Luo Qing Dynasty, is related to you, there are eyewitnesses to the fact that our Tianwu Dynasty's princess, Shangguan Qingluo, suffered humiliation at the hands of you and a mere boy in the secret realm," the old man said in a deep voice.
"I understand. It means that the younger one can't beat the older one, so he comes out to save face for her. I never thought that the two largest dynasties on the Vermilion Bird Continent would join forces to do such a low-class thing," Dongfang Mian said disdainfully.
"Why are you wasting so much time talking to her? Hurry up and take her back. Your Tianwu Dynasty isn't ashamed, but my Luoqing Dynasty is!" Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the patriarch of the Luoqing Dynasty said irritably.
"Wait, who gave you permission to harm the students of my Vermilion Bird Academy?" Just as they were about to make their move, a voice rang out, and then two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of them.
"Mommy!" The baby saw Dongfang Mian and happily ran over and jumped into her arms.
"What are you two doing...? This child couldn't possibly be...?" The patriarchs of the two dynasties, relying on their rich experience, quickly conjured up a dramatic scene in their minds involving the dean and the female student.
"You two old geezers have lived so many years in vain, what kind of filthy things are in your heads?" the dean scolded irritably.
"Mommy, they are bad people," the baby said indignantly, pointing at the two of them.
Being publicly criticized by a little child made the two elders blush, but they quickly calmed down and looked at the dean, saying, "Dean, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but Dongfang Mian was specifically requested by higher-ups. We can't make the decision to release her, but we can lift the restrictions imposed on the Dongfang family first."
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the silver threads in the hands of all the Eastern aristocratic families turned into a ray of silver light and were taken into the arms of the ancestor of the Tianwu Dynasty.
"Up there? You're not talking about the founding ancestor of your Tianwu Dynasty, are you? Wasn't he long ago?" the Dean asked curiously.
