With Sheng Jingxuan's death, the battle for Yiling Academy came to a definitive close, leaving no room for reversal.
Yang Xiao swiftly moved to Sheng Yanlin's side, arriving at the focal point of the scene, and proclaimed loudly: "The chief culprit Sheng Jingxuan has been executed, let us welcome back Dean Sheng to the Academy!"
Following Yang Xiao's declaration, the crowd erupted into cheers akin to a tidal wave, "Welcome back Dean Sheng to the Academy!"
Seeing that the tide had turned, Gu Ji from Bone Painting Tower also retreated to his own camp, now with only a dozen or so remaining members, all wounded and completely surrounded.
Those skilled martial artists who had been temporarily recruited by Sheng Jingxuan also ceased resisting, dropping their weapons one by one and surrendering.
