Chapter 1241 - Pushing It
The entire region sank into an eerie silence. No one dared speak aloud; those who communicated relied on their divine senses.
Yu Zhengyang's face turned grim. He never imagined Liu Wuxie would actually memorize more than a hundred thousand books he flipped through. Just moments earlier, he boasted he would kneel, call Liu Wuxie "grandfather," and resign his post as elder.
Now the tables had turned, and everyone saw who the real clown was.
"Liu Wuxie, don't push it!" Yu Zhengyang roared, his voice trembling with rage.
The surrounding disciples fixed their gazes on Liu Wuxie, waiting for his response. By reason alone, Liu Wuxie ought to stop here. He had secured victory; pressing further would only deepen the feud. Most expected him to give Yu Zhengyang a way out and soften the conflict.
Instead, Liu Wuxie's eyes locked onto Yu Zhengyang like twin blades. "I'm pushing it? From the start, you acted like a clown, and now you say I'm pushing it? Isn't that shameless?"
His venomous words struck harder than any blow. Many disciples nodded in agreement. Yu Zhengyang never intended to let Liu Wuxie go. Why would Liu Wuxie offer him mercy?
Mercy depended on the man. If Yu Zhengyang had acted as an elder, his suspicion would have been excusable. Instead, he had twisted the rules for a personal vendetta, attempting to eliminate Liu Wuxie outright, which was an entirely different matter.
Hearing himself called a clown in front of so many people enraged Yu Zhengyang.
The two elders beside him stayed silent, each hoping Liu Wuxie would not drag them into the affair. The hundred-odd deacons stepped back, unwilling to speak; none wanted Liu Wuxie to smash their faces alongside Yu Zhengyang's.
"Liu Wuxie's temperament is unique, and any normal person would quit while ahead," disciples whispered.
Though shame fell on Yu Zhengyang, he still stood as a Primal Origin Realm elder. If he fought for his life, Liu Wuxie, only at the sixth-level Transcendent Realm, could hardly match the cultivation gap. Even among outer disciples, Liu Wuxie ranked near the bottom.
