Chapter 1172 1183: Zhao Feng, My Territory

Although Lai Yisheng was speaking to the Lai Brothers, his voice was deliberately raised and carried far.

It not only reached the ears of Elder Si Qin and Wang Yan in front, but also those of the crowd following behind.

Upon hearing Lai Yisheng's words, Beiming Heng couldn't help but secretly worry.

Having been at Mozi Academy for a long time, he naturally understood that what Lai Yisheng said was true. Although Elder Si Qin was an elder, he couldn't compare to Zhao Liangdong at all.

If Zhao Liangdong were to fully support Lai Yisheng, how long could Elder Si Qin stand by Wang Yan?

Lai Yisheng's words not only frightened Beiming Heng but also caused the surrounding crowd to think deeply.

Some among the crowd had heard of Zhao Liangdong's influence at Mozi Academy and were struggling to find an opportunity to connect with Zhao Feng's power; now they found their opportunity.

Thus, they all gathered around Lai Yisheng and began echoing his words.

This made Lai Yisheng even more complacent. At this moment, what he awaited was entering Mozi Academy, reaching Zhao Feng, leveraging Zhao Liangdong's influence to suppress Elder Si Qin, and then killing Wang Yan in one stroke.

At this moment, Elder Si Qin and Wang Yan had already reached the base of Flame Peak. Elder Si Qin said, "We seven have been waiting for your return. Why don't you go back to Flame Peak first while I fetch the six elders?"

Wang Yan nodded.

At this point, Elder Si Qin heard Lai Yisheng's words, and a strange expression appeared on her face. This Lai Yisheng, being so reckless, still thought to rely on Zhao Liangdong.

Elder Si Qin asked Wang Yan, "Should I handle this person for you?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Thank you, but it's not necessary."

Elder Si Qin nodded, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "However, try to spare his life; if word spreads that we are blocking someone from entering the academy, it wouldn't be good."

Wang Yan pondered for a moment and nodded.

Seeing Wang Yan agree, Elder Si Qin then took off into the air, leaving.

Noting Elder Si Qin's departure, Beiming Heng was startled and quickly approached Wang Yan, saying, "Why did Elder Si Qin leave? What are we to do? Did she say for us to hide at Si Qin Peak?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Heng, let's go."

With that, Wang Yan continued walking forward.

Beiming Heng had no choice but to follow Wang Yan, but after taking just two steps, he suddenly realized something and quickly said, "Wait, something's wrong. We're going the wrong way; this is Zhao Feng. We must retreat quickly."

Saying this, Beiming Heng pulled Wang Yan back, trying to retreat.

But at that moment, several figures appeared behind them, blocking their escape route.

When Beiming Heng looked up, his face changed drastically because standing in their way were Lai Yisheng and the Lai Brothers.

At this moment, Lai Yisheng couldn't contain his joy internally.

The departure of Elder Si Qin made him think that his previous words had an effect.

Merely using Zhao Liangdong's name scared Elder Si Qin away. This proved Zhao Liangdong's thriving influence in Mozi Academy; Elder Si Qin didn't even dare provoke him.

Thus, Lai Yisheng blocked Wang Yan's path, forbidding Wang Yan to leave, and intended to force Wang Yan up "Zhao Feng."

If they ascended "Zhao Feng," it would be as if they had entered Lai Yisheng's domain.

Stopping Beiming Heng from leaving, Lai Yisheng coldly said, "Since you're here, don't leave. Get up there."

Knowing the consequence, Beiming Heng whispered to Wang Yan, "I'll hold them off; you take the chance to escape."

Wang Yan gestured with his hand and said, "Why escape? We're supposed to go up the mountain."

With that, Wang Yan took Beiming Xue's hand, leading Ma Jun and Hu Wei, proceeding toward what Lai Yisheng thought was "Zhao Feng."

Beiming Heng couldn't help but sigh internally, but seeing Wang Yan head up the mountain, he and Wang Tongrui had no choice but to follow.

Seeing Wang Yan so compliant, Lai Yisheng became smug, signaling to the Lai Brothers, and the four, along with more than a dozen subordinates, closely followed behind Wang Yan, worried he might escape.

As they walked toward "Zhao Feng," Lai Yisheng boasted, pointing at the mountain, "Look, this is indeed Zhao Feng, imposing with its lush greenery and layered peaks, a true display of power."

The Lai Brothers, believing they were on home turf, began praising continuously.

The others dared not rashly ascend Zhao Feng, so they watched from the base, eager to see how Wang Yan would ultimately suffer defeat at Lai Yisheng's hands.

In no time, both groups reached halfway up the mountain.

Further ahead lay the mountain gate; entering it meant officially ascending the peak.

At this point, Lai Yisheng stepped in front of Wang Yan and coldly said, "Stop, let me announce your presence first. Otherwise, how could you possibly ascend Zhao Feng?"

Wang Yan remained silent, standing there coldly watching Lai Yisheng.

Thinking Wang Yan was scared, Lai Yisheng proudly yelled, "Elder Zhao, Lai Yisheng of the Lai Family requests to see you."

As Lai Yisheng shouted, those on the mountain immediately noticed Wang Yan and others standing at Half-Mountain Peak.

Instantly, the entire mountain erupted in excitement, echoing with shouts.

"Senior Brother is back."

"Senior Brother returned safely."

"Quick, notify Second and Third Senior Brothers at Prison Suppression Pass."

...

As they spoke, tens of thousands on the mountain rushed down, but due to the narrow path, most could only stand aside respectfully, clearing a path to welcome Wang Yan's ascent.

Only Liu Hua led hundreds down the mountain path rapidly.

Seeing this, Lai Yisheng thought Zhao Feng was welcoming him, feeling that he had gained much face. He couldn't help but turn to Wang Yan and snorted triumphantly, then continued toward the mountain.

While walking, he smiled obsequiously at the people flying down the hill, "Thank you, it's an honor, truly an honor."

At this moment, Liu Hua led the charge downhill.

Being Wang Yan's confidant, Liu Hua held significant status on Flame Peak, tightly followed by others.

Although Lai Yisheng didn't recognize Liu Hua, he could tell from the group's deference that Liu Hua was certainly of high status, so he stood by, waiting for Liu Hua, and when Liu Hua approached, he smiled broadly and said, "Fellow disciple, I am Lai Yisheng, pleased to meet you."

Seeing Lai Yisheng with Wang Yan, Liu Hua assumed they were friends. Therefore, when Lai Yisheng greeted him, Liu Hua politely paused, returning the greeting, "Hello, I'm Liu Hua."

Liu Hua's pause prompted those behind him to stop, each smiling at Lai Yisheng.

Seeing this, Lai Yisheng was more convinced of Liu Hua's influence on Zhao Feng and immediately sought to draw closer.

Liu Hua, eager to reach Wang Yan quickly, nevertheless, seeing Lai Yisheng as Wang Yan's guest, restrained himself and engaged in small talk with him while glancing toward Wang Yan.

Noticing Liu Hua looking at Wang Yan, Lai Yisheng seized the moment to say, "That man, I..."

Before Lai Yisheng could finish speaking, Liu Hua took the opportunity, quickly saluted Lai Yisheng, and rushed toward Wang Yan.

With Liu Hua charging forward, the others behind him followed suit, moving toward Wang Yan.

Seeing this, Lai Yisheng couldn't help but smile, thinking, "Zhao Feng's brothers are indeed loyal; I haven't even finished, and they are already rushing to punish Wang Yan. With this thousand-man charge, let's see how Wang Yan survives this."

Thinking this, Lai Yisheng watched Wang Yan with smug satisfaction.
