Chapter 787 - 787 787 Escalating Contradictions

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Escalating Contradictions Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Escalating Contradictions Ye Tianwei and Lei Tianjue had already joined forces with Zhang Junlan and his group.

At this moment, Ye Tianwei’s group was gathered in a small valley.

Such a valuable cultivation spot, how could Ye Tianwei and his group yield it to the students of the Holy Soul Academy? Especially when they had taken it back by force.

Now, the students of the Holy Soul Academy had returned to the small valley and even brought strong reinforcements with them.

“Tianji Realm Eightfold, two from the Tianji Realm Sixth Layer, they shouldn’t be from the academy, they must be from the forces behind them,” Bei Dou Yan frowned, his expression becoming grave.

“Very strong!” Yi Tianqing said gravely, “Tianye has been gone for so long, hasn’t he found the Hall Master yet? If he doesn’t hurry up, our trouble will only get bigger.”

Facing the Eightfold of the Tianji Realm and the double Sixth Layer, Yi Tianqing and his group couldn’t help but be anxious.

As the students of the Holy Soul Academy brought their reinforcements, it drew the attention of many cultivators, who came to watch, including quite a few members from mercenary groups.

Everyone didn’t know what had happened; they all came with the mentality of watching a show.

“They can’t fight, so they go back and call for help, that’s really something. Aside from bullying others with their power, I don’t see any other talents they have,” Liu Qingyang said with disdain, looking down on these arrogant students from the bottom of his heart.

“Good thing I wasn’t chosen, the Holy Soul Academy is really disappointing. It’s still better to follow the Hall Master,” Gao Wushuang said coldly.

“Third Elder, it was them!” a student angrily pointed at Ye Tianwei, the very one who had been injured by Ye Tianwei earlier.

Among the three strong figures, the leading elder was the elder from the student’s backing force, evidently showing that their influence was by no means weak.

The Third Elder’s gaze was scrutinizing Ye Tianwei and his group, noticing that they too were young and each had strong cultivation, looking quite unfamiliar.

“Who are you people? Why did you seize this cultivation treasure land? And injured my Yang family’s young master?” the Third Elder asked with a heavy voice, his old face showing a hint of anger.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianwei knitted his brows and said, “Old sir, it seems the young master of the Yang family hasn’t told you the truth. We were the ones who discovered this place first. Considering they were students of the Holy Soul Academy, we spoke to them politely, and even held back during the fight. Regarding the seizure, it’s the young master of the Yang family who is to blame.”

Ye Tianwei was neither humble nor arrogant, showing no fear on his face. Let alone having the support of the Dragon God Alliance behind him, just the backing of the Shenwu Sect alone was enough to make him unafraid of the Yang family.

“Third Elder, don’t listen to his nonsense. We discovered the valley first. There was no one else along the way. It was only them who found it, and relying on their strong abilities, they injured me. If it weren’t for the fact that we are students of the Holy Soul Academy, I’m afraid they would have killed us,” the young master of the Yang family shouted angrily.

“Third Elder, Yang Xiong is telling the truth. Moreover, they were the first to start the fight,” a student testified, with other students also insisting that it was Ye Tianwei and his group who initiated the fight and seizure.

These students obviously had agreed on their story beforehand. With all the students testifying, surely they couldn’t all be lying, right?

“They really have some nerve, daring to provoke the students of the Holy Soul Academy and even injuring the young master of the Yang family. They truly don’t know whether they’re alive or dead; the head of the Yang family is famous for his coddling.”

“These talented students of the academy are not to be trifiled with, each one of them with their arrogance reaching the skies. Offend them and you can only blame your bad luck,” the onlookers whispered among themselves.

“So, it’s all about seizing a cultivation spot. I thought they’d found some treasure,” murmured the surrounding cultivators, shaking their heads. As cultivators from the Northern Profound Domain, they were all well aware of the formidable backgrounds of the students from the Holy Soul Academy.

Anyone related to the Holy Soul Academy wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily.

“Do you have anything else to say?” the Third Elder asked with a deep voice, his old face looking extremely dark and his aged eyes flashing a ruthless light.

Even if the Third Elder didn’t believe these students, he would still cover for Yang Xiong. His own young master had been injured, he couldn’t just stand by and watch, could he?

“No more words are necessary, it’s a waste of breath. He simply won’t believe us,” Nangong Zhan frowned and said.

“Since you choose to trust them, tell me what you want. Don’t waste time,” Liu Qingyang spread his hands, preferring to get straight to the point rather than waste words.

“Kneel, kowtow to admit your mistake, then get lost! Or die,” Young Master Yang barked, his face revealing a smug cold smile.

Two choices—either kneel and admit wrongdoing, or die.

But neither option was suitable for Liu Qingyang and his group.

“What if I want to take a third path?” Liu Qingyang asked coldly, his face darkening as he stared fiercely at Young Master Yang.

“The third path is also a path to death! Third Elder, kill them!” Young Master Yang shouted angrily.

Ye Tianwei said coldly, “You really think we’re afraid of the Yang family? It’s not yet certain who will die!”

“What a big talker!” The Third Elder roared, his overwhelming aura suddenly bursting forth, the terrifying power of the Tianji Realm Eightfold layer spreading all around.

“Buzzzz!”

The energy ripples were terrifying, bringing with them a fierce Qi Force. The cultivators spectating all around backed away in fear, and the surrounding mountains trembled.

“Using the Tianji Realm Eightfold to deal with them seems a bit like bullying. My friends here, at their strongest, are only at the Third Layer of Tianji Realm. Old sir, if you wish to make a move, why not fight me instead?”

Just then, Feng Wuchen’s calm voice rang out.

“Brother Feng!”

“The Hall Master! The Hall Master has arrived!”

Hearing Feng Wuchen’s voice, Liu Qingyang and Ye Tianwei were instantly overjoyed, their faces breaking into excited smiles.

Yi Tianqing let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that the Hall Master has arrived, or we would have suffered greatly facing such a powerful opponent.”

“With Brother Feng here, let’s see who will die!” Liu Qingyang said with a rampaging cold laugh.

Before Feng Wuchen’s voice had even faded, he had silently appeared in front of Ye Tianwei and the others. His movement technique was so strong that it amazed everyone present.

The Third Elder furrowed his brows deeply, shocked, “Such a powerful movement technique, I only sensed his presence after he appeared, and I can’t even discern his cultivation level.”

“This young man has hidden himself well; his cultivation level is inscrutable.”

“So young and yet so arrogant, he must have some skill, or it’s all just bluster.”

“This youngster seems quite formidable. We didn’t notice when he approached at all. If he didn’t have real strength, he probably wouldn’t dare to challenge the Third Elder.”

The many cultivators spectating were all discussing in low voices.

“Another one courting death! Third Elder, kill him first!” Young Master Yang yelled furiously, looking extremely vicious as if he could kill anyone who came his way.

Feng Wuchen let out a slight cold chuckle, “As long as you have the ability, feel free to kill. But let me make it clear beforehand, we are not ones to be trifled with.”

“I want to see what you mean by not easy to provoke!” The Third Elder said in a deep voice, his aura soaring once more, as he summoned his full strength.

The Third Elder couldn’t see through Feng Wuchen; he dared not be careless and had to give it his all.
