No sooner had Zang Zili's words fallen than she moved to strike the killing blow—but in that instant the Alliance President suddenly stepped in front of her and said, neither servile nor overbearing: "Master Zang, calm yourself. I will certainly give you a satisfactory account of this matter. But if you were to take action here, I fear it would rather breach the rules, would it not? This is the exclusive domain of the Yellow-Tier Academy Alliance; all matters herein may be resolved only by the Alliance. No academy and no individual may overstep their station—otherwise, what becomes of the Alliance's authority?"

Wei Zhao nodded inwardly as he listened. He knew nothing of this Alliance President—not even the man's name; he had only heard him speak once before. Yet from these words he could tell the fellow was no utterly unreasonable sort. Compared with this Zang Zili and that guard captain, he counted as a man of sense.

"Hmph! Breach the rules?" Zang Zili shot the Alliance President an indignant glare, then turned back toward Wei Zhao, killing intent surging as she said coldly: "A fine talk of breaching the rules. And what if I am determined to cut him down today?"

"This..." The Alliance President's expression shifted slightly. On any ordinary day, had Zang Zili dared speak to him thus, he would likely have fallen out with her on the spot. But this time the stakes were grave, and he could only swallow his anger and say: "Master Zang, I say again: this is the exclusive domain of the Academy Alliance. Please do not put me in a difficult position."

Zang Zili stared at him long and hard, then suddenly gave a cold laugh: "Very well, then. The Alliance's authority is inviolable. In that case, I shall take my Ting'er away to treat his wounds. Find someone more capable yourself!"

With that, Zang Zili gathered up the smoke-wreathed Chang Laiting and rose to leave.

"Wait!" The Alliance President's face changed again and again. After weighing the matter for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since it is your son who was injured, then let it be counted a family affair of Master Zang. I will not intervene!"

At these words, Wang Xinyan and the others felt their hearts sink as one, and could not help turning to look at Wei Zhao in worry. Even the Alliance President had chosen to yield before this woman Zang Zili—was today not to be a day of dire peril?

"Excellent. The President is indeed a man who knows the times." Zang Zili cast the Alliance President a glance tinged with smugness, then carefully set down the Chang Laiting in her arms and whipped round toward Wei Zhao, her face hideous: "You little wretch, you dared lay hands on my Ting'er. You may go and die!"

Even as she spoke, a fierce, piercing aura burst forth from every inch of Zang Zili's body, her full strength laid bare without concealment—she too was a formidable one of the early-Kaishan stage, a giant of that realm!

Wang Xinyan and the others were frightfully startled. This was truly out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair. Being blocked by the Alliance guard corps a moment ago had been perilous enough, but those men had merely meant to arrest Wei Zhao. Now this Zang Zili meant outright to strike a ruthless killing blow—and the crux of it was that she was an expert of the early-Kaishan stage!

If he fell into the hands of the Alliance guard corps, Morning Star Academy could at least step forward to mediate; there would still be room to turn things around, and it would not come to a matter of life and death. But Zang Zili plainly meant to kill for the venting of her wrath—should Wei Zhao fall into her hands, it meant death.
