Even though her master Great Elder Yuanting already warned her of what she was about to see when she goes to take care of this prisoner, she was still horrified. She thought, "How can they be this inhumane?"

She can no longer see the cuts and bruises that were inflicted to Aurora thanks to her Master's treatment but as a medical pract.i.tioner herself, the trauma left was very visible to her.

When the two guards saw Protector Du, they greeted her and proceeded to unchain Aurora.

Protector Du then handed a cloth, "Put this on her. We don't want any student to see her naked. They will obviously know that you sc.u.ms violated her here in the dungeons."

The two guards looked at each other and lowered their heads.

The city of Jin is currently the most popular city in the entire Fu Yang Continent. It is located in the Province of Hin, Country of Bu. The reason why it is popular is mainly because of Gouzijian Academy which is directly being controlled by the Council of Great Elders.

Gouzijian Academy was founded twenty-four years ago by Great Elder Feng and Great Elder Yuanting. Although it doesn't boast that much history yet, they have won first place on all five consecutive academy meets in the entire Fu Yang Continent.

Today, the plaza of Jin City is filled with thousands of people. A circle stage was built in the north, blocking the road going to the academy. The stage has six chairs, three on the left and three on the right. In the middle was a guillotine. Although it was made of wood, the blade hanging on top is very sharp. Well, even if it is not sharp, the momentum of this object will one hundred percent cut off someone's head.

Beside the stage was a much smaller stage with a dragon throne. This must be the area for the current ruler of Bu Country, Emperor Taizong Zhelan.

In front of the emperor's stage were seats for the imperial family, the government officials and hundreds of imperial soldiers.

The restaurants around the plaza were also full long ago. n.o.bles and rich merchants occupied the private rooms. These private rooms have windows that face the stage. They were all here to watch the execution of the woman who freed the Demon Lord, Aurora.

In one of the private rooms, a man in black is peacefully sipping his West Lake Dragon Well tea. He has long black hair that reached his waist and he is wearing a tall black hat in the size of a thin trapezoid. A youth kneeled beside him, "Everything is ready gongzi."

The man stood up, picked up his tea and stood beside the window, "Un! You may withdraw." The youth then backed off and disappeared from the wall's shadows.

Soon, the time of execution has come. The people saw six figures in white clothing flying from Gouzijian Academy. They were followed by people in black riding flying swords and in the middle of that crowd were two men in black holding the woman in the posters, Aurora.

The men in black then brought Aurora to the center of the stage. Five of the six present Great Elders then took their seats while Great Elder Yuanting spoke, "Today we have three important announcements to make. One... Three months from now, the academy will have an off-season enrolment. We will accept an additional two hundred students. Plus, each Great Elder can recommend three applicants, each top two Protectors of the Great Elders can recommend one applicant and the ten students who partic.i.p.ated in the previous academy meet also can recommend one applicant. The applicants that were recommended no longer need to undergo the acceptance tests as long as they meet the basic requirements. They should be of age 16-19 years, have a minimum of level three cultivation and can pa.s.s the Array of Light."

The entire plaza was shocked. Everyone knows that Gouzijian Academy only accepts the five hundred students every year. But in the first time of this academy's history, they are doing an off-season enrolment, and it was two hundred additional students. On top of that, fifty more applicants can be recommended and wouldn't undergo the strict acceptance tests.

The rich youths became excited and started to instruct their attendants to send a message to their family heads. The poorer ones clenched their fists and they showed determined eyes.

"The second announcement is related to the Country of Bu." Great Elder Yuanting turned his head to his left and bowed, "Please, Emperor Taizong Zhelan..."

Except for the six Great Elders, everyone in the plaza and even the people in the nearby restaurants all kowtowed and said in unison, "May your Majesty, live and reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand of ten thousand years."

Emperor Taizong Zhelan waved his hands and the eunuch beside him shouted, "You may all rise."

The emperor then smiled and shook his head to Great Elder Yuanting, "Please, Great Elder Yuanting, there's no need for you give respect to old Us. It's Our Bu Country's good fortune that the Council picked Our small country to build Gouzijian Academy."
