857: Chapter 855: Pei Ji Appears!
“What!
Elder Pei Ji has co?”
Tang Zong looked around in a panic.
“An elder from the Sword Art Academy has co?”
“Is it Elder Pei Ji?”
“Elder Pei Ji is extrely renowned within the Elder Pavilion of the Sword Art Academy.
It is rumored that Elder Pei Ji is very likely to be the next Dean of the Sword Art Academy!”
“Elder Pei Ji has co?”
At this mont, all the warriors in the venue were quickly searching through the crowd, hoping to spot Elder Pei Ji.
This ti, the Dan Dao Courtyard’s alchemy event was grand, attracting many experts from other academies, but many were disciples.
For instance, Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, Longqing Feng, Qin Beiao and others, they all ca as disciples.
Elders from other academies, even if they had co, would not make an appearance, preferring to observe in secret.
Lu Qingyu, seated in the high position of the Dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard, smiled lightly, “This Lin Bai really knows how to make a big fuss under soone else’s banner.”
“Ah—”
Just at that mont, a light sigh spread throughout the Dan Dao Courtyard.
Suddenly, a purple shadow flickered and appeared right in the middle of the daoist arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard.
When this shadow revealed its figure, the crowd saw clearly that it was indeed Pei Ji!
Pei Ji, who appeared at this mont, had a face full of worry, his expression dark as water.
“It’s really Elder Pei Ji!”
“We, the disciples of the Sword Art Academy, pay our respects to Elder Pei Ji!”
“I have seen Elder Pei Ji of the Sword Art Academy.”
Many warriors in the venue respectfully bowed their heads in greeting.
The disciples of the Sword Art Academy showed extraordinary respect to Pei Ji, bowing to greet him.
anwhile, disciples from other academies greeted him with a clasped fist salute.
This imdiately distinguished the subtle relationships between the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge.
After Pei Ji appeared, he glanced at Lin Bai, gave a slight shake of his head, then turned and gave a clasped fist salute to Lu Qingyu, “Pei Ji pays respects to Dean Lu Qingyu.”
Lu Qingyu responded with a light smile, “Pei Ji, hope you’ve been in good health?
It’s been many years since you last visited our Dan Dao Courtyard.”
Pei Ji returned the smile and said, “The Sword Art Academy has been busy, and indeed, sotis I am unable to leave.”
“Dean Lu, today my Sword Art Academy was lax in discipline, resulting in such a disgraceful disciple, making a laughing stock in front of the disciples of the Dan Dao Courtyard and other academies.”
Lu Qingyu laughed, “Hey, how can you say that?
Lin Bai is a genius of the Sword Art Academy, possessing a proud spirit that would rather break than bend.
This is exactly the spirit of a sword hero, the posture of a martial art hegemon.”
“In my opinion, we should not only refrain from blaming Lin Bai but reward him heavily!”
“Pei Ji, if Lin Bai had been intimidated by Tang Zong’s power and knelt down to beg for rcy right away, then your Sword Art Academy would have suffered a true loss of face today!”
“I’m afraid for the next thirty years, your Sword Art Academy will struggle to hold its head high.”
Lu Qingyu smiled faintly.
It was unclear whether Lu Qingyu had said this unintentionally or intentionally, but in speaking, he seed to take Lin Bai’s side.
Pei Ji rely gave a wry smile; he too was aware of the complicated relationship with Lu Qingyu.
Had Lin Bai today really been suppressed by Tang Zong into kneeling before the Chief Disciple of the Knife Dao Sect to beg for rcy, then it was likely that the Sword Art Academy would be the butt of jokes from the other eight academies for the next thirty years.
One disciple from the Sword Art Academy forcing another to kneel before a disciple of the Knife Dao Sect to beg for rcy would be a laughing matter were it to spread.
Lin Bai clasped his hands and bowed to Pei Ji, saying, “I do not wish to drag Elder Pei Ji into this, but this is a matter of the Sword Art Academy.
If I were to handle it, I’m afraid he would not live long.”
Lin Bai’s murderous intent was no longer concealed in his words to Pei Ji.
Tang Zong looked at Pei Ji, terrified and out of sorts, he imdiately knelt before Pei Ji, shivering as he said, “Elder Pei Ji, Elder Pei Ji, this disciple knows his wrong, this disciple knows his wrong!”
Pei Ji glared at Tang Zong and then turned to look at Qiu Yukui.
“Qiu Yukui, did you orchestrate this drama deliberately, or was there soone behind you pulling the strings?”
Pei Ji stared at Qiu Yukui with a nacing gaze and said.
Qiu Yukui cracked a slight smile: “Elder Pei Ji jests.
It was rely a joke between Lin Bai, Tang Zong, and myself.
How could there possibly be soone behind orchestrating this?
It’s all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!”
Pei Ji gave a cold smile: “Is that so?”
Imdiately, Pei Ji glared at Qiu Yukui and took a step forward, his overwhelming aura bursting forth from his body.
Lin Bai, standing beside Pei Ji, was harshly startled by the sword intent emanating from Pei Ji – it was nearly terrifyingly overwhelming!
Suddenly, around Pei Ji, nurous sharp and unparalleled sword shadows appeared, all aid at Qiu Yukui!
Qiu Yukui’s face turned ashen pale, and he stumbled backwards in fear under the mighty sword intent of Pei Ji!
Jian Ruohan, seeing Pei Ji make his move, imdiately chuckled: “That’s more like the aura of the Sword Art Academy.”
Yejian Qiu laughed: “Indeed, Elder Pei Ji, without regard for right or wrong, aid his spearhead at the Knife Dao Sect first, clearly showing favoritism toward the disciples of his own academy!”
Elsewhere.
Hong Su laughed: “Elder Pei Ji is still as domineering as ever.
With just one move, he’s pressured Qiu Yukui to the point where he can barely breathe.”
Ye Suxin gave a light smile: “He’s known for being fiercely protective.
Do you rember Lin Duo from thirty years ago?
When Lin Duo first joined the Sword Art Academy, like Lin Bai, he made a host of enemies.
As a result, elders from the Knife Dao Sect, Fist Daoist Courtyard, Spear Daoist Courtyard, and Chulong Courtyard – four courtyards in total – joined forces and pressured the Sword Art Academy to hand over Lin Duo!”
“Back then it was Elder Pei Ji who stepped forward alone, battling fifteen elders from four different academies, injuring fourteen and crippling one, all to staunchly protect Lin Duo!”
“Moreover, Lin Duo did not disappoint Pei Ji.
With monster-level talent, supre sword skill, and a compelling might that overshadowed all other geniuses on the Miracle Ridge, he made it such that none could raise their heads in his presence.”
“In the end, he single-handedly, with one man and one sword, eliminated the Five Poison Sect that had plagued the Miracle Ridge for over a hundred years!”
Ye Suxin spoke matter-of-factly.
Hong Su lanted: “Yes, back then Lin Duo truly was an unparalleled figure in the history of the Miracle Ridge!”
Boom boom boom—
Under the oppressive force of Pei Ji, Qiu Yukui kept retreating, his face rapidly paling, and opened his mouth to vomit, imdiately spewing out a mouthful of blood!
“Elder Pei Ji, I don’t understand what I did wrong that you need to suppress !” Qiu Yukui looked at Pei Ji with eyes filled with terror and asked.
Pei Ji said coldly: “You incited the disciples of my Sword Art Academy to turn against each other.
For that alone, I have the right to kill you!”
Qiu Yukui responded coldly: “This was Tang Zong’s own doing, what does it have to do with !”
Pei Ji’s eyes turned frosty: “Still spouting nonsense!”
Pei Ji’s power surged again, and Qiu Yukui’s complexion turned deathly white.
He felt as if his very bones were being crushed alive by Pei Ji’s power, almost to the point of shattering.
“Pei Ji, you’ve gone too far.”
Just at that mont, an angry roar rang out, and a fierce saber energy tore through the sky, shattering the terrifying dignity of Pei Ji.
Suddenly, two old n appeared before Qiu Yukui.
After one of the old n’s saber energy had decimated Pei Ji’s pressure, Qiu Yukui finally felt relief throughout his body.
These two old n were none other than high-ranking elders of the Knife Dao Sect!
Qiu Yukui hurriedly cried out: “Elder Yun Xun, Elder Sea of Clouds, save , Elder Pei Ji wants to kill !”
These two high-ranking elders of the Knife Dao Sect, nad Yun Xun and Sea of Clouds, were twin brothers.
Within the Elder Pavilion of the Knife Dao Sect, they were two well-known elders with a status that was not far off from Pei Ji’s position in the Elder Pavilion of the Sword Art Academy.
