"Be that as it may, you were the one who stirred up trouble first this time. Now that so many are injured and even Master Zang has been laid low along with them, you owe me an explanation I can reasonably give." The Alliance Chairman's tone was impossible to read.

This whole affair had been utterly unexpected—one after another, four people had been brought down by this brat, and all of them from Dingcheng Academy: Chang Laiting, a young master with deep connections, two academy preceptors of the late Xuansheng stage, and now Zang Zili on top of it. The stir was nothing if not considerable. If he could not produce an accounting for it, he might as well stop calling himself the Chairman of the Academy Alliance.

Everything else he might let slide, but he had to give Dingcheng Academy a satisfactory explanation—after all, it was one of the most influential Yellow-Rank academies, and beyond that, he still needed a favor from them.

"An explanation?" Wei Zhao regarded the Alliance Chairman without betraying a thing, and asked in return, with a faintly loaded edge, "What sort of explanation does the Chairman have in mind? Surely you don't mean to make amends with me as the price?"

The Alliance Chairman's heart stirred. To be honest, that notion had indeed flashed through his mind a moment ago, but he had promptly suppressed it. Yes, he needed a favor from Dingcheng Academy, but he was not fool enough to offend Wei Zhao mortally.

An early-Xuansheng expert capable of toppling a Kaishan-stage titan—what that implied was far too great. One thing was beyond doubt: this brat's future was boundless. Never mind becoming a Kaishan-stage titan; it was only natural that one day he might stand as an equal to the Alliance Chairman himself, or even surpass him.

If he mortally offended Wei Zhao today, then unless he could steel himself to strike and pull the roots out entirely, he would simply be making a mighty enemy for himself—one very likely to rise above him in days to come!

If it were only potential, that might be bearable. He had killed no fewer than a hundred or eighty top-tier geniuses with his own hands; nipping threats in the bud was commonplace in the Eastern Continent, and it would not have cowed him completely.

What truly gave the Alliance Chairman pause was another implication: a heaven-shaking genius like Wei Zhao could never have been cultivated by an ordinary power or an ordinary titan. Behind him there must stand an incomparably formidable background—perhaps one of those very figures at the absolute summit of the Yellow-Rank Sea. That was what made him most wary.

If he touched Wei Zhao today, it might not even take until tomorrow before some top-tier grandee standing at the very peak of the Five Cloud-Tier Islands came to have a quiet word with him. He still wanted to live a few hundred or thousand years more.

After turning it over again and again, the Alliance Chairman at last pressed that dangerous notion down, and said instead, "Which academy are you from? Your academy's qualification for the next Titan's Path Trial is revoked!"

Not laying a hand on Wei Zhao himself, but striking at the academy behind him—this was the safest course he could devise. It would serve to placate Dingcheng Academy, and it would not truly offend Wei Zhao to the death. After all, he was the Alliance Chairman; exercising control over any Yellow-Rank academy fell squarely within his authority, and no one could fault him for it.

Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback at this, then understood the man's intent at once. The corner of his mouth curved into a barely perceptible arc as he said coolly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't belong to any academy. I come from North Island."
