The Sword God of the Universe

North Peak students standing with Jing Yan all bore expressions of shame.

Here they were, Inner Court students, being mocked by students of the Outer Court!

At that moment, Jing Yan quietly stepped out of the crowd and climbed onto the platform.

“Ah?”

“Jing Yan?”

When Jing Yan climbed onto the platform, Zhao Qi finally saw him and furrowed his brow.

What was Jing Yan doing here?

Hu Yang also watched Jing Yan, not recognizing him.

However, seeing Zhao Qi’s expression, he guessed that Jing Yan must be a student from North Peak.

Some elders on the platform also looked towards Jing Yan.

Among them, a few recognized him, including the Hall Master of the Criminal Punishment Hall.

Because of Jing Yan, he had once been greatly embarrassed, and a Vice Hall Master of the Criminal Punishment Hall had died because of it.

So, seeing Jing Yan, his face grew ugly and a look of anger appeared in his eyes.

“Who is that?

How did he climb up onto the platform?”

“Eh, isn’t that Jing Yan?”

Around the square, some people recognized Jing Yan.

His fame had not been small in the Lower Court, and many knew him!

“Peak Master!” Jing Yan greeted Zhao Qi with a bowed salute.

Zhao Qi merely waved his hand.

Then, Zhao Qi turned to Hu Yang.

“Peak Master Hu Yang, there’s something I intended to discuss with you after the Twin Mountain Conference.

However, since Jing Yan has come up, let’s talk about it now.”

“Student Deng Qing of South Peak demolished the stele of Jing Yan’s training mountain.

I believe Deng Qing should apologize to Jing Yan,” Zhao Qi said slowly in a deep voice.

Seeing Jing Yan come up, he thought Jing Yan was here about the stele that had been destroyed.

He had promised Jing Yan that after the Twin Mountain Conference, he would personally speak to the South Peak Master about this matter.

To tell the truth, Zhao Qi was somewhat displeased that Jing Yan had come to the platform at this time.

He had already assured Jing Yan, yet Jing Yan couldn’t wait, coming up before the Twin Mountain Conference was even over.

Couldn’t he wait just a little longer?

Though it was true that North Peak was about to lose, and the Twin Mountain Conference was practically over, the third battle hadn’t started yet, and Zhao Qi hadn’t spoken the words of defeat; thus, the conference wasn’t entirely concluded.

“Is this kid Jing Yan?” Hu Yang’s eyes narrowed; he had heard of Jing Yan’s name.

More than a year ago, Jing Yan had caused quite a stir at Dao Yi Academy.

“Deng Qing smashed your stele?

Do you know why he did this?

Why would Deng Qing only smash your stele and not others?” Hu Yang pursed his lips, staring at Jing Yan as he spoke.
