I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1277 - 1281: Come Out and Face Death

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1281: Come Out and Face Death
Chanling Academy, a renowned martial arts academy in the Central Province Region of Stigma Continent, is the aspiration of numerous martial arts families from various empires, who wish to send their young martial artists there. Simply entering the gates of Chanling Academy almost guarantees a ticket to becoming a Martial Artist of the Void Transformation Realm.
Since its establishment, Chanling Academy has given rise to countless strong individuals, even Saint Martial Artists. As alumni, they tend to offer Chanling Academy some degree of favor and face, making ordinary First-grade forces hesitate to provoke them casually.
Chanling Academy is built on a plain, and instead of an academy, it resembles more of a city.
The central area houses towering buildings that reach the clouds; this is the core region of Chanling Academy. Students attend classes and cultivate almost entirely in these areas, and the principal, deans, and elders reside there as well.
Beyond the core are various living areas, including entertainment zones for students and markets where they can exchange goods. Students can even form their own student clubs.
The strong student organizations can rival ordinary Third Grade and even Second Grade forces, showcasing the resources possessed by the mighty martial arts academy.
However, entering Chanling Academy is not easy. Surrounding Chanling Academy is an endless mountain range, populated by powerful Warcraft, including many in the Void Transformation and Wheel Mystery Realms.
Ordinary students enter Chanling Academy through an underground transportation system. The tunnels are sturdy enough to withstand attacks from Wheel Mystery Realm martial artists, akin to a subway leading directly into the academy.
But outsiders must traverse the perilous mountain region, risking death by the hands of Warcraft if not possessing Wheel Mystery Realm strength. Ordinary outsiders generally cannot reach the academy.
It was just another day at Chanling Academy when a patrol group of students was patrolling the entrance of the academy.
There’s barely any need for such patrols in the academy since outsiders can hardly intrude, and internal order is maintained by the academy’s disciplinary department.
Powerful Warcraft possess high spiritual intelligence, aware of the academy as a place to avoid. Few dare to approach.
"Have you heard? Something happened again in the Inner Gate recently." The students chatted about academy gossip while patrolling.
"What, did you hear something?"
"Isn’t it about Master Lin?" A student whispered, "I heard recently a batch of disciples joined our Chanling Academy, and among them, there were a few female disciples with unparalleled beauty."
"Such a pity, aren’t they going to be ruined by Lin Mofeng again?"
"Yes indeed, people are still talking about what happened to that girl last year."
"I think it’s not entirely bad. I heard that female disciple, originally an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, was accepted as a Direct Disciple by her instructor. Although she can’t compare to the Direct Disciples of elders or the dean, it’s almost guaranteed she will reach the Void Transformation Realm. After graduation, she might even secure a position or two."
"Certainly, if I were a girl, I’d willingly offer myself too."
"This time it’s different," the student looked around, "This time it led to a death. Who knew that girl was so unyielding? But who dares intervene in Lin Mofeng’s matters within the academy? She was so desperate that she seemingly chose to commit suicide."
"Really? What’s that girl’s background?"
"Apparently, she was a young lady from a small family in a Fourth Grade kingdom."
"Then she probably died in vain. A small family, wouldn’t they just have to swallow their grievances silently?"
"Yes, and even her friends are now controlled by the academy. If they are sensible and act like nothing happened, perhaps they can gain some benefits. But if they pursue accountability, their family might face a purge."
"Really? This kind of thing happens?"
"Remember the family three years ago?"
"Indeed, the whole family of 1084 vanished overnight, no one knew what transpired, though people in the academy knew, they wouldn’t dare speak."
"Do you think Lin Mofeng will ever face a tougher challenge? He’s ruining the reputation of Chanling Academy single-handedly."
"Don’t be naïve, do you think he is the only one like this? Those in positions above protect each other, they’re interlinked by interests, how many offspring of instructors and elders are genuinely decent?"
"Wait, quiet, do you hear something?"
...
The patrol stopped as roars of beasts echoed from deep in the woods.
"Probably nothing. Some Warcraft must be fighting over territory again, happens often as long as it doesn’t affect our academy."
"No, the sound is closing in."
"This... it sounds like that Golden-feathered Bird."
"Ow!" With a sharp cry, a golden figure suddenly emerged from the forest."
"Get out the way!"
The students desperately dove to the side as a massive creature over 200 meters long with a wingspan exceeding 500 meters emerged. Its entire body gleamed gold, its feathers like steel.
This Warcraft, named Thunderwing Golden Eagle, is a dominant presence in the mountain range. It’s lived for tens of thousands of years, almost as long as the academy itself, thus it’s nicknamed Golden-feathered Bird by the academy’s teachers and students.
"Hiss~"
Seeing the Thunderwing Golden Eagle, all the students gasped.
Half its wing feathers had fallen, leaving bare skin covered in numerous scars, one claw oddly bent, and the sharp beak was half shattered.
In the mountain range, it moved virtually unchallenged, often clashing with other Wheel Mystery Peak Warcraft yet never suffering major losses.
The Thunderwing Golden Eagle glanced fearfully toward the forest, disregarding its wounds, desperately flapping its wings and awkwardly flying skywards, heedless of the blood showering down.
"How did this beast get so badly injured?"
"Could other Warcraft possibly have harmed it to this extent?"
Before they could recover from the scare, another massive figure flew out, crashing into the mountain gate, even toppling the giant rock engraved with "Chanling Academy."
"It’s the Howling Moon Tiger, even it..."
"These two were almost rulers of the forest, could there be another Holy Beast in the forest now?"
"No, it’s not Warcraft, it’s humans!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" No sooner said than done, hundreds of figures flew out of the forest, their backs flapping glowing wings, one even held a Wheel Mystery Ninth Realm Warcraft.
Among them, leading was a very young lad, a murderous intent in his eyes; his gaze swept over them as if cooling the temperature.
He stood proudly at the academy entrance, nearly a hundred others trailing him like bodyguards.
"Lin Mofeng! Come out and meet your end!"
