Chapter 320 Aggressive Pursuit! Su Qingying Backs Us Up?!

Jiang Yun's words.

Instantly stirred up a thousand waves inside and outside Lingqi Valley!

Everyone was stunned.

Countless gazes focused on Jiang Yun's calm yet upright figure.

Filled with disbelief.

"He... what did he just say? The bet? contribution points?"

"Holy crap! Is the Sacred Student... demanding the stakes from Feng Ziyue? At a time like this?"

"Did I hear that right? Feng Ziyue has clearly lost all Face and was planning to use Senior Sister Su Qingying's appearance as an excuse to slip away, yet the Sacred Student actually dares to bring this up?"

"5,000 contribution points! That's right, they did make a bet earlier—a Gold Rank beast battle, winner takes all! Feng Ziyue's Hurricane Spirit Owl was indeed defeated by the Sacred Student's beast!"

"But... but this is just too... too bold? No, it's too audacious! Feng Ziyue is clearly flying into a rage out of shame. Demanding the debt now is like adding fuel to the fire, completely offending him to the death, isn't it?"

"Hiss... The Sacred Student is indeed no ordinary person. Having just gone through a fierce battle and nearly being heavily injured by the opponent's Amethyst beast, he can turn around and calmly demand the stakes. This Heart-Nature and courage... no wonder he could become a Heavenly Saint Student!"

"There's a good show to watch! Let's see how Feng Ziyue responds! Will he give those contribution points or not?"

"Give them? That's 5,000 contribution points! Even Feng Ziyue would have to save for who knows how long. Could he be willing to just give them away? Not give them? Under the watchful eyes of everyone, with the bet made beforehand and Senior Sister Su Qingying watching from the side... his Face would be lost even more completely!"

The discussions quickly turned from initial shock to excitement and curiosity; everyone craned their necks, waiting to see Feng Ziyue's reaction.

Many eyes even flashed with a gleam of schadenfreude; Feng Ziyue's earlier actions of bullying others and launching an illegal sneak attack had long since caused resentment, and seeing him suffer now was a welcome sight.

Feng Ziyue, who was just about to flick his sleeves and leave.

His footsteps came to a sudden halt.

His body stiffened instantly.

He slowly turned around.

The residual anger on his Face had not yet dissipated.

And now, a few more layers of shock and unbelievable gloom were added.

He stared fixedly at Jiang Yun.

As if truly seeing this youth from the frontier's City C for the first time.

"You... what did you say?"

Feng Ziyue's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

Carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

5,000 contribution points!

Of course he remembered this bet!

But in his original plan.

This was simply a game where he couldn't lose, meant to humiliate the other party along the way.

How could he possibly lose?

His Hurricane Spirit Owl was at Peak Gold Rank 9.

Half-step Amethyst!

The opponent was just a Gold Rank Five Fire Dragon Fish!

But reality had dealt him a harsh slap in the Face.

These 5,000 contribution points.

Were part of his savings from working hard over the past six months.

Having taken on no fewer than seven or eight high-difficulty s-rank missions.

One of the nest eggs he had saved up after deducting resource consumption!

It was a reserve he intended to use to exchange for a precious secret technique or rare Materials in the Myriad Phenomena Treasury!

Just give it away like this?

To this country bumpkin who had made him lose all Face today?

How could he be willing!

Therefore.

When Su Qingying appeared to interrupt the battle.

And he himself planned to take the opportunity to leave.

He subconsciously chose to forget about this bet.

He thought that after Jiang Yun had been frightened like this.

And seeing a higher-level conflict intervene.

He would definitely be sensible enough to let the matter pass for now.

At least he wouldn't demand it so bluntly in front of Su Qingying.

But he never expected.

That Jiang Yun would not only bring it up.

But do so with such righteous conviction.

So... mercilessly!

"Jiang Yun."

Feng Ziyue took a deep breath.

Forcibly suppressing the churning killing intent and grievance in his heart.

His Face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

His tone carried a clear threat.

"I originally had the ability to easily crush and kill you. Just now, I was merely in the mindset of guiding a junior by having a fair bet with you. Don't be ungrateful and push your luck!"

The meaning in these words couldn't be clearer.

I am much stronger than you.

Not dealing a fatal blow just now was already mercy. The result of the bet doesn't matter now; I can't be bothered to argue with you. You'd better quit while you're ahead and stop pestering me about the stakes, otherwise... suffer the consequences!

Blatant threat combined with reneging on a debt!

The surrounding crowd immediately let out a wave of suppressed sighs, their gazes toward Feng Ziyue becoming even more disdainful.

Losing and not owning up to it.

And turning around to threaten the creditor?

This behavior is just too unsightly!

But intimidated by the Feng Family's power and Feng Ziyue's own strength, most people only dared to exchange glances and whisper; no one dared to actually step forward and criticize him.

"Pushing my luck? Ungrateful?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun.

Gave a cold laugh instead.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade.

Meeting Feng Ziyue's cold gaze without backing down.

"Senior Feng, what you said is truly interesting. The bet earlier was proposed by your own mouth, and everyone present can bear witness. The stakes of 5,000 contribution points were also agreed upon by both sides. Now that you've lost, you want to brush it off lightly and even turn around to threaten me? Is this the poise and credibility of a Feng Family Prodigy and the Jingfeng Sect?"

His tone turned cold as he continued.

"Furthermore, after the bet was made, who was it that disregarded the agreement and brazenly used a Purple Crystal Second Stage main beast to launch an attack? Is this the 'fairness' and 'guidance' the Senior speaks of? Had I not possessed some means of self-preservation, I would likely be dead or heavily injured by now! Even so, I am still only discussing the bet and have not held you accountable for your illegal sneak attack; I have already given Senior Face."

Jiang Yun paused.

His gaze swept across the surrounding people.

His voice was clear and firm.

"Accepting the loss of a bet is only natural. These 5,000 contribution points were set by the bet and won by my own strength. I have no reason not to take them. Please, Senior Feng, pay the stakes."

Word by word, organized and well-reasoned.

Moreover, it pointed out Feng Ziyue's shameful act of an illegal sneak attack again, leaving the opponent speechless and with a Face turned green with rage.

Feng Ziyue's chest heaved violently.

His lungs were about to burst with rage!

He had already put it in such terms.

Almost saying it explicitly.

I'm just not giving it to you, what can you do about it?

This Jiang Yun actually dared to press him so closely.

Not yielding an inch!

Did he really think that because he had Su Qingying backing him up.

He could rest easy?

Or was he just a hotheaded youth.

Who didn't know the consequences of offending him to the death?

"Good, good, good!"

Feng Ziyue laughed out of extreme anger.

The venom in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Jiang Yun, you've got guts! I, Feng Ziyue, will remember today's matter!"

He made up his mind.

No matter what Jiang Yun said.

He would absolutely not give these contribution points!

Face was already lost.

He couldn't afford to lose the substance as well!

He didn't believe.

That Jiang Yun would dare to use force to keep him there?

With those two Gold Rank beasts?

What a joke!

As for Su Qingying... would she really break ties completely with him and the Jingfeng Sect behind him for a new student just over a gambling debt dispute?

Thinking of this.

Feng Ziyue gave a cold snort.

Ignoring Jiang Yun any further.

He turned around to summon the Void-Splitting Profound Gold Eagle again.

Intending to just force his way out.

He was determined to play the scoundrel to the end.

However.

At the moment he turned and lifted his foot.

A cold, pleasant, yet unquestionable female voice of authority rang out from the back of the Seven-Colored Divine Deer in mid-air.

"Feng Ziyue."

Su Qingying sat atop the deer's back, looking down from above. Her gaze was calm as she watched the departing Feng Ziyue, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"If you bet, you must accept the loss."

"Since you made a bet with Junior Brother Jiang Yun and were defeated in public, fulfilling the bet and paying those 5,000 contribution points is your duty."

"Now, give the contribution points before you leave."

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Another uproar broke out inside and outside Lingqi Valley!

"What?!"

"Holy crap?! What did I just hear? Senior Sister Su Qingying... she's speaking up for the Sacred Student?!"

"She is... forcing Feng Ziyue to give the contribution points?!"

"My god! Senior Sister Su Qingying actually intervened! She didn't come to give a show of strength? She came to back the Sacred Student up?!"

"This... what's going on? Do Senior Sister Su and the Sacred Student know each other? Or is there some other relationship?"

"I remember now! There seemed to be a rumor when he first entered the academy, saying that this newly promoted Heavenly Saint Student Jiang Yun seems to have some connection with the Su Family... what was it exactly?"

"Oh oh oh! I heard it too! It seems they said... the Su Family's matrilocal son-in-law?! Yes! Someone spread the word that he's a matrilocal son-in-law recruited by the Su Family! But it's never been confirmed!"

"matrilocal son-in-law?! Holy crap! If that's true, then it makes sense! Su Qingying is the Eldest Miss of the Su Family, so the Sacred Student would be her brother-in-law? Or a distant relative? They're one family!"

"So that's it! No wonder Su Qingying would suddenly appear and forcefully interrupt the battle! She didn't come to suppress a new power; she came to cheer on and hold the fort for her own family!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Feng Ziyue is in for it now, he's kicked an iron plate and a steel plate! Reneging on a debt and running into the big boss of the creditor's family!"

Everyone came to a sudden realization.

Discussions were rife.

The looks toward Jiang Yun held a few more layers of complexity and envy.

With a powerhouse ranked ninth on the Heaven Ranking like Su Qingying backing him up, no one would likely dare to easily find trouble with the start of Longxiang Pavilion anymore.

Jiang Yun was also slightly stunned.

Looking up at Su Qingying in the air with some surprise.

He truly hadn't expected.

That this Eldest Miss of the Su Family and ninth-ranked Prodigy on the Heaven Ranking, whom he had never met, would stand so clearly on his side, even going so far as to directly pressure Feng Ziyue to help him collect the stakes.

"Is it because of Su Yuntian? Or... simply the Su Family's investment in me as an ally?"

Jiang Yun's mind raced.

But he remained impassive on the surface.

Merely toward Su Qingying's direction.

Gave a slight nod of acknowledgment.

Regardless.

The help she offered at this moment.

Was real and tangible.

And at this time, Feng Ziyue.

His Face was no longer just ashen.

But had turned completely green!

He whipped his head around.

Glaring at Su Qingying.

His voice trembled slightly from extreme anger and grievance.

"Su Qingying! You... don't push it too far! For a nonsensical matrilocal son-in-law, do you really want to completely break ties with my Jingfeng Sect? Don't forget, my elder brother Sect Master Feng Tianyang is still out training. When he returns and learns of this, your Tingxue Pavilion might not have it easy either!"

Sect Master Feng Tianyang!

As Feng Ziyue roared this name.

It was like a giant boulder thrown into water.

Once again causing a huge sensation!

"Sect Master Feng Tianyang! Sect Leader of the Jingfeng Sect! The leading figure of the Feng Family's generation at Sky Dome Academy! Although he's a bit behind the peerless Prodigy Feng Xingyun, who is first on the Heaven Ranking, he's also an outstanding Prodigy of the Feng Family!"

"He's ranked sixth on the Heaven Ranking! Three places higher than Senior Sister Su Qingying!"

"Hiss... that's right. Although Feng Ziyue doesn't amount to much, he has the great figure Sect Master Feng Tianyang standing behind him! Will Senior Sister Su Qingying really completely offend Sect Master Feng Tianyang for Jiang Yun's sake?"

"Hard to say... every one of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking is a monster, and the gap between close rankings might not be as large as the numbers suggest, but Sect Master Feng Tianyang is sixth after all, he became famous earlier, and his strength is unfathomable..."

"Will Senior Sister Su back down? Or hold her ground to the end?"

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Their gazes moved nervously back and forth between Su Qingying and Feng Ziyue.

This conflict.

Seemed to be escalating into a collision between the academy's top powers!

Facing Feng Ziyue's threat of bringing up his elder brother.

Su Qingying's expression still didn't change much.

Only in those cold eyes.

A faint trace of mockery flickered.

"Sect Master Feng Tianyang?"

Her red lips parted slightly.

Her tone was flat yet carried a bone-deep arrogance.

"Then wait until he returns to the academy and let him come to my Tingxue Pavilion to reason personally. I, Su Qingying, am ready anytime."

As her voice fell.

The Seven-Colored Divine Deer beneath her seemed to sense its master's will; it gracefully raised its head and let out a clear, long cry.

"Yo!!!"

At the same time.

A more solid and heavier sacred pressure than before, like an invisible mountain, descended with precision, targeted directly at Feng Ziyue and the Void-Splitting Profound Gold Eagle beside him!

"Ngh!"

Feng Ziyue let out a muffled groan.

Feeling as if the air around him had solidified.

A pure and vast power pressed down upon him.

Making his breathing difficult.

The circulation of spiritual power in his body became sluggish.

The ground beneath his feet even sank a few inches!

The Void-Splitting Profound Gold Eagle let out a shriek of alarm and unease, its wings flapping violently to stir up gales, yet it struggled to escape the omnipresent sacred pressure, as if it were stuck in a thick mire of light, its movements clearly becoming slow and stiff.

Su Qingying's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Cut the nonsense.

Today, these contribution points.

You won't give them?

Then don't even think about leaving!

"You...!"

Feng Ziyue's eyes were bloodshot.

Veins throbbed on his forehead.

He had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!

Being hounded for a debt by a freshman.

And being suppressed by a woman's aura.

Forcibly detained!

This was simply more painful than killing him!

contribution points?

He truly couldn't bear to give them up!

But if he didn't... seeing Su Qingying's stance, she really would dare to make a move!

He definitely wouldn't come out on top.

He would only lose even more Face!

Just as his heart was struggling violently.

Humiliated and desperate.

Almost about to have his reason crushed by this grievance and anger.

"Su Qingying!"

A deep, resonant.

Yet cold and angry male voice.

Like a sudden clap of thunder.

Abruptly exploded from the distant Void Realm.

Rolling toward them!

Even before the voice faded.

A sharp, peerless aura that seemed capable of slicing through space rapidly approached along with the sound, faintly forming a standoff against the sacred pressure emitted by the Seven-Colored Divine Deer over Lingqi Valley!

"Are you... pushing things too far!"
