As the deputy dean of Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu understood better than anyone that these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators represented the various sects and factions of Xuanxian Continent. Although their numbers appeared small, offending them would mean offending all the forces behind them, and the consequences would be utterly unpredictable.
Li Yi killed more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul cultivators today. To be honest, it was well done.
If no cultivators from Xuanxian Continent were killed, they would only consider Golden Academy an easy target, and their audacity would grow unchecked. So no matter what, Li Yi must be protected. If he were just slain by the opposing side like this, then there would be no point in operating Golden Academy anymore—it could be disbanded on the spot.
The hearts and minds of people are currently the only support Golden Academy can depend on.
