Chapter 1239 - Targeted by Everyone (2)
Two figures rushed in from the distance and landed heavily on the square before the Book Collection Pavilion.
"It's Elder Huang and Elder Ji!" gasps spread through the crowd. Many deacons instantly recognized them as Void Realm elders who maintained the pavilion's spiritual array in the lesser realm. Their sudden arrival left no doubt—they came because the array jammed.
"Greetings, Elder Huang. Elder Ji." Yu Zhengyang and the two other Primal Origin Realm elders stepped forward to greet them. Compared to the newcomers' cultivation and status, their positions seemed paltry.
"We already know what happened inside," Elder Huang declared coldly. "This child violated the rules. Cripple his cultivation and throw him into the dungeon."
He dismissed Liu Wuxie's earlier claims without a second thought.
"Liu Wuxie—did you hear that?" Yu Zhengyang sneered, his face twisting sinisterly. "Will you surrender, or must I make you?"
"That's nothing but an excuse to condemn me," Liu Wuxie snapped, his gaze fixed on the two elders. "I never expected the elders of a so-called superpower like the Heavenly Dragon Sect to be a bunch of incompetent fools."
Elder Ji, however, remained silent. His sharp eyes stayed fixed on Liu Wuxie without hostility. Earlier, he said they would not pursue the matter if Liu Wuxie truly proved he had read all one hundred thousand books.
Liu Wuxie's words immediately sparked an uproar. Openly insulting the Heavenly Dragon Sect's elders was like thrusting a hand into a hornet's nest.
More than a hundred elders stood present, many from the inner sects. Though Liu Wuxie had named no one, his scorn shamed them all. Every elder who heard it winced at the sting.
"You're courting death!" Yu Zhengyang roared. Elder Huang and Elder Ji's expressions grew grim as well. Over the years, none had dared defy them, yet now, before countless disciples, a mere outer disciple had actually mocked them. They had to punish him, or their authority would surely crumble.
A terrifying Primal Origin Realm aura pressed down on Liu Wuxie like a primordial beast. Elder Huang added Void Realm pressure, and the weight on Liu Wuxie intensified.
