Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Punishment
If it was just a quarrel, it would be fine. Yu Zhongtian’s brazen attack infuriated Yang Hua. This had already violated the rules of the academy. Furthermore, in front of so many disciples, the two Hall Masters had acted rashly, leaving behind a joke.

“So what if you’re welcome? I won’t leave until I hand over the murderer today!”

Yu Zhongtian was provoked by Ye Feng’s words just now. After taking action, he also regretted it. At this moment, there were too many people surrounding him, and even the other entrances of the hall had begun to pay attention, waiting to see a joke.

‘”Yu Zhongtian, don’t push your luck. Everyone knows what’s wrong and what’s wrong. Let’s not talk about protecting disciples for the time being. Now that you’ve publicly brought so many people here to plead guilty, it means that your leadership is weak. If it reaches the head of the academy, you don’t make sense. I advise you to hurry back so as to avoid hurting the peace.”

Yang Hua still didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, and tried his best to treat peace as precious as possible. This way, he could also protect Ye Feng from being harmed by the other party.

Although the two sides were bickering, they didn’t dare to make a move. If they did, it would be a big deal. It would depend on who was in charge. It was clear that Yang Hua was righteous and had come to provoke Yu Zhongtian on his own initiative.

“So what if it gets to the head of the academy? How should we settle this debt for this brat injuring so many of our disciples? We all know that you, Yang Hua, are protecting our weaknesses. Today, I want to see how you can protect this brat.”

Yu Zhongtian looked at Ye Feng with his gaze. A powerful aura was like a mountain, pressing down on Ye Feng.

“Boom!”

The entire plaza was shaken. Those disciples with low strength were unable to withstand this mountain-like pressure. Some of them were directly suppressed to the ground.

“Impudent!”

Yang Hua was furious, and his entire body released an aura that soared to the heavens, revealing all of the strength of the Immortal Martial Realm.

“Cough cough!” As soon as his aura exploded, Yang Hua coughed violently and a mouthful of blood shot out from his mouth.

“Hall Master!”

More than ten mentors surrounded Yang Hua. They knew that Yang Hua had been suffering from a hidden illness. This sudden explosion caused the old injury to relapse and they spat out a mouthful of blood.

“It’s alright. You must protect Ye Feng and not allow him to suffer any harm.” Yang Hua wiped away the blood and said to the mentors.

“Don’t worry, with us here, no one can hurt him!” Teacher He was the first to speak.

Standing on the square, Ye Feng felt a huge mountain appear on his body, pressing down on all the bones in his body.

Yu Zhongtian’s eyes narrowed, as if he had underestimated Ye Feng’s endurance. Although he had only used 1% of his strength, why was this kid still not injured? He couldn’t believe it.

With Ye Feng as the center, the imposing aura was clearly aimed at Ye Feng. Those disciples who were farther away from Ye Feng felt better and their bodies barely stood upright. However, the members of the Nine Stars Alliance who were closest to Ye Feng felt uncomfortable and spat out mouthfuls of blood from their mouths.

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with killing intent. If he had the ability, he wouldn’t mind directly killing this Yu Zhongtian. However, the strength of the two of them was now like a heavenly chasm, and Ye Feng was unable to cross it.

“Stop!”

A loud shout came from afar, and an invisible aura appeared again. It was like a gust of wind, neutralizing the majesty emitted by Zhongtian. Ye Feng and the others felt their entire bodies lighten, and the pressure disappeared completely.

An old man shot out from the void and stood in the middle of the square. His gaze swept across the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Hua.

“Are the injuries on your body alright?” The old man asked.

“Thank you, Elder Kong, for your concern. It’s fine!” Yang Hua seemed to be very respectful to this old man.

“I know what happened just now. It will be the day of the competition between the inner disciples of the academy. If you have any grudges, you might as well settle them during the competition. What kind of behavior would it be to fight each other here?” The old man didn’t care about the face of the two of them at all and scolded them.

Facing the old man’s rebuke, Yang Hua and Yu Zhongtian did not refute, and they were very respectful.

“Elder Kong, since you’ve come, you have to make the decision for me. This brat injured more than a hundred of our disciples. How should we settle this debt?” Yu Zhongtian withdrew his aura.

“Alright, I can clearly see this matter. As for the inside information, you should be more clear than me. This is a battle between disciples. As the head of the academy, don’t interfere. If you have any objections, you might as well put it in the inner sect disciple competition.” The old man interrupted Yu Zhongtian.

“But Jian Chengfeng is Elder Jian’s grandson. If Elder Jian asks further, I won’t be able to explain.” Yu Zhongtian was in a very difficult situation.

“Don’t worry about that. If there’s anything wrong with Elder Jian, the Hall Master will take care of it personally. I believe Elder Jian is not someone who doesn’t know right from wrong.” The appearance of the old man caused the battle between the two sides to stop temporarily.

“Since Elder Kong said so, I’ll give you face, but this matter can’t be let go. When Neibi comes, I will let this kid know that the Star Academy is not easy to bully.” Yu Zhongtian didn’t want to stay any longer and led everyone out of the courtyard.

“Everyone, let’s disperse. Go back and cultivate properly. Strive for the inner sect disciple competition to shine brightly in three months!”

The disciples of the Heavenly Star Academy left, and there were still people who continued to watch the show. Elder Kong scolded, and everyone began to disperse.

“Ye Feng, wait.” When Ye Feng saw the outcome of the matter, he also wanted to prepare to leave. At this time, Elder Kong stopped him.

The eighteen Nine Star Alliance members behind him stopped in their tracks.

“You guys go back first. I’m fine!” Ye Feng dismissed the others and walked towards Elder Kong.

“Junior greets senior!” Ye Feng was very respectful.

“No need to be formal!” The old man waved his hand.

“Although the Heavenly Star Academy was the first to blame for today’s incident, it is also your fault for injuring so many disciples. Do you admit your mistake?” The old man’s tone was a bit sharp.

“Elder Kong, what’s wrong with Ye Feng? He only rescued his companion. This is called righteousness. We should encourage him. Right now, disciples are fighting with each other and even plotting secretly. Few people like Ye Feng can enter the Heavenly Star Academy alone for the sake of friends.” Yang Hua spoke at this time, defending Ye Feng.

‘”The reason is correct. If everyone is like him, how can the academy control them? If there is a good side to everything, there will naturally be a bad side. If I don’t punish them, how can I convince the public? At that time, more disciples will follow suit. If the academy doesn’t interfere, wouldn’t it be a pile of scattered sand?” Elder Kong’s words left Yang Hua speechless.

“Then what does Elder Kong plan to do with Ye Feng?” Yang Hua was a little unhappy. Ye Feng was a disciple of their Xuan courtyard. If he was punished, his face would also lose its luster.

Ye Feng could tell that the matter of him breaking into the Heavenly Star Academy had already violated the rules of the academy. In addition to injuring so many people, if the academy did not have any attitude, it would only make more disciples follow suit.

“Disposal can’t be considered. After all, there are no casualties. However, in order to convince the public, a symbolic punishment is still needed.”

Elder Kong continued.

Yang Hua heaved a sigh of relief. Another three months was the day of the inner sect disciple competition. If he dealt with Ye Feng at this time, it would definitely be a huge loss to Xuan courtyard.

“Then what do you plan to do with Ye Feng?” This was what Yang Hua was most concerned about.

Ye Feng did not interrupt. He knew that Yang Hua had been arguing for justice, hoping that he could escape the punishment of the academy. It seemed that the punishment was inevitable.

“Recently, we found traces of the demons in the Devil Flame Mountain Range. It seems that the demons are planning to sweep across the Divine Martial Continent again. We have no choice but to guard against them.” Elder Kong said the extraneous words, which Ye Feng could not understand at all, but Yang Hua frowned.

“You mean to let Ye Feng enter the Devil Flame Mountain Range and investigate the truth?” Yang Hua asked with a frown.

“That’s right, this is the lightest punishment. As long as we find out whether this matter is true or not, let’s forget about this solo invasion of the Heavenly Star Academy. This way, we can also block everyone’s mouth.” Elder Kong said slowly.

“But Ye Feng is only at the Xiantian realm. Entering the Devil Flame Mountain Range alone is undoubtedly a suicidal act.” Yang Hua did not agree. This punishment was a bit too severe.

“Alright, I agree!” Ye Feng finally understood and agreed without hesitation.

“Ye Feng can’t. You can’t agree. If you can’t, I’ll go find the Hall Master to argue. What’s wrong with you? You actually sent you to the Devil Flame Mountain Range to investigate the situation. You don’t know how terrifying the Devil Flame Mountain Range is.” Yang Hua stopped Ye Feng.

‘”Thank you for your kind intentions. I’ve already decided. Since I caused this, I should be responsible for it. I need a topographic map of the Demonic Flame Mountain Range, but I have a request. I hope to set off in ten days. I need to go into seclusion for a while.” Ye Feng said righteously.

“There’s no hurry. As long as you leave within a month, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the map to you.” Elder Kong agreed to Ye Feng’s request.

Elder Kong did not stop for too long and quickly left. Only Ye Feng and Yang Hua were left in the square.

“Sigh, Ye Feng, you shouldn’t have agreed to go to the Devil Flame Mountain Range.” Seeing Elder Kong leave, Yang Hua sighed.

“Hall Master, is there any danger in the Devil Flame Mountain Range?” Ye Feng asked.

‘”There is a cave entrance in the Devil Flame Mountain Range. This was once a teleportation portal from the Blood Devil Battlefield to the Divine Martial Continent. Although we have sealed it, in recent years, the seal seems to have loosened a bit. If the seal breaks, the demons will invade in large numbers. It’s too careless of you to agree to go to the Devil Flame Mountain Range this time.” Yang Hua said earnestly.

“If disciples don’t agree, how can they convince the crowd? The other entrances will definitely point their spearheads at our courtyard. At that time, they will be even more passive.” Ye Feng was well aware of the reasoning behind it.

“I’m very gratified that you can figure out the truth. I’m guessing that the head of the academy wants to test you. If you pass the test, the academy will definitely pay attention to you when you return.” Yang Hua seemed to understand the Hall Master’s thoughts.

“Hall Master, what’s going on with the inner sect disciple competition?” Ye Feng was very interested when he heard Elder Kong talking about the inner sect disciple competition.

“Every two years, Tianling Academy will have an inner disciple competition. If we win the championship, we will receive a generous reward. After each competition, the rankings of our halls will change. In fact, it is also a test of everyone’s cultivation achievements over the past two years.” Yang Hua explained to Ye Feng.
