Chi Ye stopped him just as he was about to speak, his expression turning sowhat cold. "Feng, my fellow Daoist, could you give so face and not stir up trouble here?"
"Xu Chen, if you don't apologize, et on the fighting platform at the Dao Academy!" Feng Jinyu completely ignored Chi Ye. Having already been driven down the mountain, he was filled with anger, and Xu Chen had the audacity to confront him directly. This matter couldn't be overlooked.
"Fellow Daoist Chi, this person is truly ungrateful. How about...?"
Xu Chen was also filled with anger, but he didn't want to lose the deanor of a cultivator in front of Chi Ye by pestering like Feng Jinyu.
Chi Ye didn't respond but instead took out the Void Transmission Disk. "Could you co to the base of Heavenly Pillar Peak? I have so trouble here and would appreciate it if you could bring so fellow Daoists."
"Alright, we're on our way."
A calm female voice ca from the other side, and then there was silence.
After speaking, Chi Ye rely looked coldly at Feng Jinyu, unwilling to engage further. Instead, he communicated with Xu Chen about the secret realm, not wanting to waste too much ti.
Xu Chen nodded continuously, adept at reading the room and understanding the situation.
Feng Jinyu glanced around, his eyes showing a hint of panic. What was going on...?
Was Chi Ye really going to call people from the Dao Academy to deal with him? He didn't have many connections, knowing only about a dozen fellow Daoists at the academy.
"You..."
"Shut up." Chi Ye's gaze sharpened, looking at Feng Jinyu with nothing but disgust. He despised people like him the most. Was he trying to show off his bravery in front of her just now? Utterly ridiculous.
Feng Jinyu gritted his teeth, caught in a dilemma, especially with that condescending attitude, making him feel extrely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Xu Chen kept subtly mocking him, enjoying watching him get provoked. The enmity between them and their families had been building for a long ti.
A stick of incense later.
More than twenty figures approached from afar, both male and female, exuding powerful auras, with even a Void Refinent cultivator among them.
Their eyes all focused on Feng Jinyu, who was in the Divine Transformation phase, like blades cutting into him.
"This person is yours to deal with, fellow Daoists. He blocked my path."
Chi Ye said softly, looking at the group. "I, Chi Ye, will rember this favor, so I won't linger here any longer."
"Alright, you go ahead. Since he dared to block the way at the Dao Academy, we won't be in a hurry to retreat into seclusion for the next few days."
A male cultivator in the Void Refinent phase nodded slightly, also looking at Chi Ye. "This person isn't on the list of prodigies, so we won't make things too difficult for him."
Chi Ye nodded calmly and left with Xu Chen in an instant.
The twenty or so people surrounded Feng Jinyu directly, suppressing even his cultivation, simply staring at him quietly.
Feng Jinyu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, his face ashen, feeling extrely uncomfortable. He spoke with a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?!"
"Blocking the way, nothing more, and we won't lay a hand on you."
A woman sat cross-legged on the ground, her voice sowhat sharp. "If you're unwilling, you can go to the fighting platform at the Dao Academy, and we'll accompany you one by one. But Chi Ye, we hope you won't harass her again."
"This has nothing to do with her! I'm after Xu Chen!"
Feng Jinyu's chest heaved violently, the pressure growing, rendering him immobile, yet increasingly agitated. "I have no interest in Chi Ye at all, don't accuse falsely!"
"Fellow Daoist, your lifespan is surely far from reaching the Divine Transformation limit. Focus on cultivating well, and when you make it onto the list of prodigies, then you can block the way."
"I really have no designs on Chi Ye!! You've misunderstood!!!"
"Heh."
The group sneered, dismissing him, continuing to block and surround Feng Jinyu.
Cold sweat dripped from Feng Jinyu's brow, unable to convey the feeling of being bullied and humiliated. He only hoped they would leave soon, so Nangong Heling wouldn't see him like this.
If she did, he would truly have no face left to show. Feng Jinyu cursed inwardly, clenching his fists tightly, realizing he was still too useless, easily manipulated by others' words.
Three days later.
Disciples from the Dao Academy were already descending from Heavenly Pillar Peak, but Feng Jinyu remained surrounded at the foot of the mountain.
His face was flushed, the humiliation more unbearable than a beating, leaving a deep psychological shadow.
Yesterday, he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to challenge them on the fighting platform.
However, they refused to fight, seemingly just wanting to embarrass him and teach him a lesson.
And Feng Jinyu naturally didn't dare to make a move here. If he acted first, things would escalate.
These twenty or so Dao Academy cultivators weren't to be trifled with, none much weaker than him.
One of the Void Refinent cultivators slowly opened his eyes, looking at the disciples descending from Heavenly Pillar Peak. The lesson had been enough, and with so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to continue in such a public setting.
"Hey, Feng Jinyu!"
Suddenly, a voice called out, gentle yet powerful. It was Mu Qingyao, her eyes showing surprise. "Why are you still here? And why are so many fellow Daoists surrounding you?"
Feng Jinyu's face fell, already starting to lower his head quietly. Auntie, please keep your voice down!
He wished he could find a hole to hide in. The thing he dreaded most had happened.
His face twisted in a grimace as he lowered his head. If he didn't seek revenge for this, he wasn't worthy of being a cultivator!
The cultivators also looked over, their eyes showing a hint of amazent. The two won's appearances and temperants were no less than Chi Ye's.
"Are you Mu Qingyao? Fellow Daoist Mu?"
A male disciple instantly recognized Mu Qingyao, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. "This person blocked the way at the Dao Academy, and it was Chi Ye he blocked, so we gave him a lesson."
Mu Qingyao maintained a dignified and composed deanor, but inside she was laughing wildly. Hahaha!! Feng Jinyu, you finally got what you deserved, well done!
However, her expression gradually turned cold. "But isn't it too much to use force to oppress soone like this? And with a Void Refinent Daoist brother here, isn't it bullying?"
Mu Qingyao stopped in front of them, her gaze sweeping over everyone, unafraid.
"He blocked the way first, and we didn't humiliate him." The Void Refinent male cultivator slightly avoided her gaze, accidentally stopping on the serene face of Nangong Heling.
Stunning! It felt like a heavy blow to his heart. When did the Dao Academy have such a woman?
"Is this how Chi Ye handles things?" Mu Qingyao's brows furrowed, showing so hostility. "Feng Jinyu!"
"Qingyao!"
"Why did you block that woman's way?!"
"I didn't block her! I blocked Xu Chen! That woman just called people to deal with !"
Feng Jinyu suddenly shouted from the center of the crowd, feeling as wronged as a little wife. "I was about to challenge that scoundrel on the Dao Academy's fighting platform, but that woman interfered!"
His legs felt weak, but he stood tall, as Nangong Heling was still watching him!
"See, did you hear that?"
"So what, Mu Qingyao, do you think you can throw your weight around here?"
A Divine Transformation female cultivator suddenly stepped forward, confronting Mu Qingyao without backing down. "This is the Dao Academy, not your Mu family."
"Xiao Yi, since when did you start yelling in front of ?!"
Mu Qingyao waved her dress and took a step forward, her gaze turning sharp. "What, did Chi Ye promise you so benefit, planning to beco her family's dog after leaving the Dao Academy?!"
Buzz—
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground shook slightly, both won showing anger in their eyes, their auras clashing in the air, causing everyone around to tremble, unsure of what to say...
