Chapter 1173 1184: Master of the Peak

Seeing Liu Hua and others rushing towards Wang Yan, Beiming Heng's worst fear finally appeared.

He hurriedly stepped up in front of Wang Yan, stretched out his arms to block Wang Yan, and shouted: "I am Beiming Heng, the Scholar, don't act recklessly."

Seeing Beiming Heng standing alone and trying to stop Liu Hua and others, Lai Yisheng couldn't help but laugh.

Since arriving at the Mozi Academy, Lai Yisheng had been suppressing himself. As the proud ancestor of the Lai Family, when had he ever endured such humiliation?

Now that he finally reached Zhao Feng, everything would return to his control, so Lai Yisheng could finally laugh without restraint.

Lai Yisheng's laughter pierced into Beiming Heng's ears, causing his heart to shatter even more. His voice was hoarse and sharp: "Wang Yan, quickly retreat down the mountain."

But at this time, the Lai Brothers had already blocked the path down the mountain at the back, looking coldly at Wang Yan.

Liu Hua and others also rushed to Beiming Heng's front. Hearing Beiming Heng's cry, everyone was stunned and stopped.

Liu Hua asked curiously: "Scholar Beiming, I recognize you, why do you want us to go down the mountain?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope for reversal, Beiming Heng hurriedly said: "If you recognize me as the Scholar, do me a favor and let Wang Yan and the others go down the mountain. I'm willing to go up the mountain myself to apologize to Elder Zhao."

This remark made Liu Hua and the others even more puzzled. They looked at each other, at a loss.

Lai Yisheng, fearing that Liu Hua and others would be swayed by Beiming Heng, hurriedly said: "Wang Yan must not be allowed to go down the mountain."

Liu Hua also nodded in confusion and said: "Yes, he certainly can't go down the mountain. We've waited so long for him to return."

Hearing Liu Hua say that Wang Yan can't go down the mountain, Beiming Heng's heart instantly went cold, so he didn't hear the second half of the sentence.

But Lai Yisheng was even more elated, his face full of arrogance.

However, after Liu Hua said this, he continued to look at Wang Yan with pitiful eyes, as if really afraid Wang Yan would turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly. By now, he could no longer keep up the pretense.

Wang Yan then walked past Beiming Heng to the front of Liu Hua and his group, saying: "Of course, I won't leave. Accompany me up the mountain."

Hearing Wang Yan's lack of awareness, Beiming Heng sighed again and lowered his head helplessly.

But Lai Yisheng's grin grew even wider, almost reaching his ears.

However, just as Wang Yan finished speaking, tens of thousands on the mountain peak burst into cheers.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

Hearing the thunderous cheers, Beiming Heng was taken aback. The cheers were obviously full of joy, without a hint of hostility.

Lai Yisheng was also stunned, puzzled as to who this "Senior Brother" was referring to. Could it be Wang Yan?

But in the next moment, Lai Yisheng got an obscure answer.

Because Liu Hua and others immediately surrounded Wang Yan, escorting him to the mountain top like stars supporting the moon.

As Wang Yan walked toward the mountain, the disciples on both sides of the road greeted him respectfully, and Wang Yan frequently waved back.

Each person greeted by Wang Yan immediately showed a look of joy.

At this point, Beiming Heng, Lai Yisheng, and others were dumbfounded.

Especially Lai Yisheng, his eyes were wide open, almost popping out.

Clearly, Wang Yan was supposed to be sent to Zhao Feng to face death, so how did this condemned man receive such treatment?

The crowd around Wang Yan was too large. With the flow of people surging, Beiming Heng, Lai Yisheng, and others involuntarily moved toward the mountain top.

As they were about to reach the top, Lai Yisheng suddenly realized what was happening. He hurriedly grabbed a nearby disciple and asked: "Who are you calling Senior Brother?"

"Of course, it's Senior Brother Wang Yan. Who else do you think?" the disciple replied.

"How could he be the Senior Brother? Could it be that Wang Yan is Zhao Liangdong's disciple? Quickly lead me to Elder Zhao Liangdong," Lai Yisheng said, even more puzzled and urgently shouting.

"Zhao Liangdong? You want to find him? I can't help you!" This disciple rolled his eyes at Lai Yisheng and then turned to walk up the mountain.

Lai Yisheng found several more disciples, but each one, upon hearing Zhao Liangdong's name, looked strangely at him, didn't answer, and walked away shaking their heads.

Lai Yisheng felt as if he was lost in a fog, his mind in chaos.

At this moment, he assumed Wang Yan must have joined Zhao Feng, which explained why Zhao Feng's disciples kept Zhao Liangdong's whereabouts from him.

Normally, Lai Yisheng would give up at this point.

But his grudge against Wang Yan was too deep to let go.

Seeing himself being pushed further from Wang Yan, a surge of anger rose within him. He leapt into the air, shouting towards the mountain top: "Where is Elder Zhao Liangdong? Lai Yisheng has a matter to discuss. Now Wang Yan has a vendetta against me, I hope Elder Zhao can take charge!"

Lai Yisheng's shout echoed loudly, reverberating across the entire Flame Peak.

Upon hearing the voice, the bustling Flame Peak suddenly went quiet. Everyone turned to look at Lai Yisheng, their eyes filled with anger.

Beiming Heng, seeing the situation escalating to a life-and-death struggle, grabbed Wang Yan and said: "We must not let him call Elder Zhao!"

Though Beiming Heng still didn't understand what was happening, he knew that if Zhao Liangdong appeared, all the advantage Wang Yan held would vanish.

Wang Yan nodded and reassured Beiming Heng: "Don't worry, Heng, Zhao Liangdong will definitely not come out."

Though Wang Yan agreed, Beiming Heng remained anxious. After all, Wang Yan seemed to agree with everything along the way, yet ignored his advice completely.

But Beiming Heng didn't realize that this time Wang Yan's promise was indeed true.

Even though he saw the flames of anger in the eyes of tens of thousands of disciples on the peak, Lai Yisheng gritted his teeth and said: "I am a close friend of Elder Zhao Liangdong. Aren't you going to notify Elder Zhao soon?"

"Isn't this still Zhao Feng? Aren't you disciples still loyal to Elder Zhao?"

Lai Yisheng was resolved. If there was going to be a ruckus, it must be grand enough to draw out Zhao Liangdong.

Seeing this, Wang Yan's eyes flashed with anger. He stepped forward, gave Lai Yisheng a cold glance, and said: "This is certainly not Zhao Feng, and they are not Zhao Liangdong's disciples."

Hearing Lai Yisheng dare to blatantly challenge the illustrious Zhao Liangdong, Lai Yisheng instead laughed maniacally: "You are so arrogant to openly insult the master of Zhao Feng!"

Hearing this, Wang Yan also burst into laughter and said aloud: "A person is foolish if not arrogant in youth, yet I must tell you, this is not Zhao Feng, and Zhao Liangdong is not the master of this peak!"
