Free Web NovelChapter 2111: Chapter 2066: Punished Instead
Because at this moment, the more Li Yi becomes insane, the heavier the consequences he’ll face later!
"Enough!"
Sure enough, seeing Li Yi still clamoring, Elder Bai angrily spoke out.
This voice was like a thunderclap.
It exploded in Li Yi and Xu Ming’s ears.
The two were so frightened they knelt down directly.
Two grown men were crying like pear blossoms in the rain.
"Elder Bai, we truly didn’t lie! We’re telling the truth!"
"It must be his doing, we really couldn’t use our Spiritual Power just now."
...
The two frantically explained.
But in the face of absolute evidence, everything they say is pale and powerless.
"First, you schemed to harm others, then falsely accused them. Li Tian, you asked me to uphold justice. Now I ask you, how should this matter be handled?" Elder Bai didn’t bother with Li Yi and Xu Ming.
Instead, he coldly questioned Li Tian directly!
In Elder Bai’s eyes, only Li Tian could speak with him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother with matters in the fifth region.
They are usually handled by other elders or disciples, he would never personally intervene!
But now that he did personally intervene, encountering such a situation, how could he not be angry?
"Um... It’s all up to Elder Bai, to deal according to the academy’s rules!" Li Tian was also scared.
He never expected things to turn around like this.
Initially, he wanted to plead, but Elder Bai was clearly furious, how could he dare to speak?
He could only glare at Chen Yang with hatred, then respectfully let Elder Bai punish them!
"Alright, that’s what you said." Elder Bai snorted coldly, and without hesitation, he directly sentenced: "Li Yi and Xu Ming, scheming against the academy, slandering and falsely accusing with no limits, punished with a withdrawal of all cultivation resources for one year, plus twenty lashes! A month’s detention!"
"Ah? Twenty lashes and a month’s detention? No! Elder Bai, listen to our explanation, things aren’t like this." Li Yi was so scared his face turned pale, knocking his head desperately trying to explain.
But Elder Bai didn’t listen at all.
Because they were already deemed abolished, it didn’t matter at all.
They themselves admitted they aimed to abolish Chen Yang.
In the end, due to their insufficient strength, they were taught a lesson.
Since they had such a scheme from the start, even if they really fell into Chen Yang’s trap, so what?
It could only be said it’s a self-inflicted consequence.
This is why Elder Bai was unwilling to listen to their explanation.
Humph!
Elder Bai snorted coldly, and turned to leave directly.
And his disciples beside him, like dragging dead dogs, directly dragged Xu Ming and Li Yi away.
To go receive their punishment.
At the scene, aside from the spectators, only Chen Yang, Nangong Zheng, and Li Yi’s brother, Li Tian, remained.
Seeing his brother punished, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, landing on Chen Yang.
"Good, very good, you truly calculated well! You even counted me, Li Tian, into it!" Li Tian gritted his teeth and said.
He was Li Yi’s brother, naturally, he understood Li Yi.
Arrogant indeed, but definitely not dumb enough to splash dirty water with such a matter of abolition.
This clearly indicated that Li Yi had definitely fallen into Chen Yang’s trap, hence behaving this way.
With Elder Bai gone, Chen Yang had no need to conceal either, he responded with a cold laugh: "It’s just a self-inflicted consequence, what calculations are there?"
"You’re bold, but you should know, no one can set me, Li Tian, up without retribution. You’ll pay the price for your actions today, you will eventually leave the academy!" Li Tian’s killing intent burst forth, clearly harboring intense murderous thoughts toward Chen Yang.
And Chen Yang was also angry.
He never provoked Li Tian or Li Yi.
Yet they came looking for trouble with him.
Even harboring murderous intent towards him, did they really take him for an easy target?
Chen Yang was enraged!
"Why wait until I’m out of the academy? You want revenge, don’t you? I’ll give you the opportunity!" Chen Yang showed no fear, directly pointing at Li Tian, he said dominantly: "Tomorrow, I challenge you!"
Boom!!!
As soon as he spoke, the scene exploded.
Elder Bai personally came to the fifth region, attracting much attention.
Early on, many people gathered nearby, watching the spectacle.
And upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, everyone present thought they might have been hallucinating.
"Did I hear wrong? Did this newcomer just say he wants to challenge Li Tian?"
"Seems like that’s what he said!"
"Oh my, is he crazy? Li Tian is ranked tenth in the fourth region, his combat strength is formidable."
...
A single sentence ignited the scene.
And as for Li Tian, the party involved, he was too stunned to respond immediately.
"What did you say? You want to challenge me?" Li Tian looked at Chen Yang incredulously.
Chen Yang nodded calmly: "You didn’t hear wrong, I want to challenge you!"
"Hahahahaha..." Confirming that he didn’t mishear, Li Tian only found it incredibly laughable.
After a few wild laughs, his voice grew colder.
"Alright, you truly have guts! What else can I say? I’ll wait for you at the arena tomorrow in our region! Remember to bring a life-death waiver!" Li Tian no longer said anything, left a sentence, and turned away directly!
Chen Yang glanced around, then also turned back into his cave.
Nangong Zheng followed him inside.
The events just now had left him greatly shaken!
"You’re crazy, Brother Chen Yang, Li Tian’s strength is very strong, why did you actively challenge him!" Nangong Zheng asked in surprise.
"Why be nervous? It’s just Li Tian, not worth concerning." Chen Yang was not at all flustered, rather calmly tidying his collar.
Nangong Zheng observed Chen Yang’s confidence, his air of assurance, seemed to understand something instantly.
In a moment, his gaze toward Chen Yang changed.
He connected all the performances Chen Yang displayed in contact with him in the recent days...
It’s as if, in everything he does, he’s fearless...
Why fearless?
In the cultivation world, is there any other way?
Only strength is the real backing!
"Brother Chen Yang, what’s your actual Realm." Nangong Zheng swallowed hard, asking.
"You’ll find out when the time comes." Chen Yang didn’t directly tell him.
Not that he intended to purposely be mysterious, but simply fearing it might shock him too much.
This guy, having come to Cangnan Academy for only two days, has already been shocked so many times?
If he keeps being shocked, it might destabilize his mental state.
"Alright... alright then." Nangong Zheng again swallowed hard, refrained from asking further.
After inquiring Chen Yang about how he managed to "fake abolish" Li Yi and Xu Ming, Nangong Zheng left.
Chen Yang then sat cross-legged inside his cave, quietly settling himself.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, the academy had already erupted.
An explosive piece of news was circulating furiously within the academy.
"Did you hear? A few days ago, a student from this Realm made bold statements, wanting to challenge Li Tian."
"How could I not hear? I also know that the student schemed cleverly, even trapped Li Tian in it."
"Trapped Li Tian? Isn’t he courting death?"
"To be precise, it’s not Li Tian, but his brother Li Yi, who was severely trapped."
"Not only punished by Elder Bai with the loss of all cultivation resources for a year, but also twenty lashes and detention!"
’My heavens, this new student is utterly daring.’
