Early in the morning, the news of the battle had spread like wildfire.
What had begun as a whispered rumor between the old dean and two experts quickly transformed into an open war between the Mystic Path Academy and an unknown force.
But with each passing minute, the story was growing beyond recognition.
Some exaggerated it so much that they claimed hundreds of Expert Realm cultivators had descended upon the academy, only to be faced by the old dean alone, who defeated them without so much as a scratch.
Of course, the powerful clans knew the truth behind the attack.
Yet, no one dared to speak recklessly.
The City Lord did not hesitate.
He immediately deployed hundreds of guards to patrol the streets', ensuring order was maintained.
For any hidden master realm cultivators, the Mystic Path Academy deployed five masters to patrol the city in disguise.
The meaning was clear to everyone.
Since the old dean had made his stand plain, the academy was no longer neutral.
