107: Chapter 107 After Yan Wudi, there will be the Ninth-Rank Supreme of the Yan Family!
Within the Martial Academy's loft, other elders of the academy sat around.
Vice-General Lei Jun spoke of the trouble Li Yuan had brought to the City Lord's Mansion of Yingyang Pass and the trouble he had caused for that Mysterious Supreme.
The elders of the Martial Academy furrowed their brows upon hearing this.
It was not surprising that Li Yuan, with such an astonishing performance, had a Ninth-Grade Supreme behind him.
Combined with the news previously spread from Yingyang Pass, it was only natural for that Mysterious Supreme to be behind Li Yuan.
Before this, Li Yuan had appeared very confident in front of the Martial Academy elders.
The foundation of that confidence was likely this Mysterious Supreme as well.
But at this moment, Lei Jun, the Vice-General from Yingyang Pass, claimed that even the Mysterious Supreme was dissatisfied with Li Yuan.
It made sense; the Yan Family was a top-tier aristocratic family in Da Shun.
The strength of the Yan Family's Ninth-Grade Supreme was top-tier even among all Ninth-Grade Martial Artists.
It was only reasonable not to want to offend the Yan Family.
While Lei Jun's words could deceive the Martial Academy elders, Li Yuan felt like laughing as he listened.
Wang Jiuxing's lies were surprisingly poorly constructed.
Li Yuan didn't even need to think much to see through his falsehoods.
That Mysterious Supreme was merely one of his own identities.
When had he ever gone to Wang Jiuxing to say such things?
To fabricate lies just to pressure him?
"I wonder what you mean by saying all this, Vice-General Lei?" Li Yuan feigned confusion and pressed Lei Jun for an answer.
"This time, you obtained the help of that Mysterious Supreme and used certain means to oppose the Yan Family.
But what you have done has had too negative an impact on the Supreme.
He does not wish to have bad blood with the Yan Family, as it would affect his plans for many matters.
After some consideration, we think you should still go and help the Yan Family with the Drug Trial.
The Yan Family will give their full guarantee that you will definitely not be injured.
Besides, you also possess the New Wood Physique.
This Drug Trial is also beneficial for you; it will allow you to clarify to what level the medicinal power of this drug should be applied."
Lei Jun spoke at length, but everything he said was in favor of the Yan Family.
Hearing this, Li Yuan could not help but laugh.
"Vice-General Lei, what do you mean by 'full guarantee that I won't be injured'?
If the Yan Family had such capability, would they still need me for the Drug Trial?
Couldn't they just let Yan Chenzhou do it?"
Li Yuan's string of questions left Lei Jun speechless.
His originally quite amiable Face was now filled with a much colder intent.
"Li Yuan, having left the Military Camp, do you feel your wings have grown strong?"
A hint of threat began to seep into Lei Jun's tone.
Yan Wudi had just died at Li Yuan's hands, yet Lei Jun seemed to have no fear.
Looking at the expression on his Face, there was even a faint sense that he had seen right through Li Yuan.
"I came here to convey the intentions of City Lord Wang Jiuxing.
Currently, Yingyang Pass has already received the favor of the Yan Family.
Befriending the Yan Family is the direction set by the City Lord's Mansion of Yingyang Pass.
Furthermore, this is also more beneficial for that Mysterious Supreme.
Do not be arrogant just because you have received a bit of favor from that Supreme."
Having said this, Lei Jun no longer wasted words with him.
He reached out and struck with a burst of Qi.
The strength of these vice-generals from Yingyang Pass was actually quite mediocre.
Most vice-generals did not even have the strength of a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist.
The Qi Li Yuan released landed on his limbs, directly snapping all of his hands and feet.
Intense pain washed over Lei Jun, and his mouth simultaneously began to let out miserable screams.
"Li Yuan, you dare... you dare..."
Lei Jun still wanted to use words to threaten him, but the agonizing pain weighed him down, making him completely unable to speak.
He did not understand how Li Yuan could be so bold.
He was Wang Jiuxing's vice-general, and Wang Jiuxing was the City Lord personally appointed by that Mysterious Supreme.
Since Li Yuan relied on that Mysterious Supreme, wasn't he afraid of offending Wang Jiuxing, who might then speak ill of him to the Supreme?
Both were favored and chosen by the Mysterious Supreme; one was a City Lord, while the other only got the chance to cultivate in the Martial Academy.
It was clear at a glance who was more highly regarded.
But Li Yuan was not afraid at all, not afraid of offending Wang Jiuxing.
Nor was he afraid that offending Wang Jiuxing would cause the Mysterious Supreme behind him to harbor resentment toward him.
"I am not taking your life, but not because I don't dare to.
I'm simply leaving you alive to see how this matter finally ends.
Wang Jiuxing is quite something; having been hoisted into the position of City Lord, his courage has grown significantly."
Li Yuan looked at Lei Jun, commenting on Wang Jiuxing in such a manner.
Under the current situation, Wang Jiuxing's status was rising higher and higher.
Even when the Yan Family went to see him, they gave him plenty of Face.
But from Li Yuan's perspective, he was treated with great contempt, even a bit of disdain.
"Since you are so stubborn, then wait for the Yan Family to send more people.
Last time it was Yan Wudi; next time, it will be the Yan Family's Ninth-Grade Supreme.
I have broken hands and feet, but when the time comes, you will definitely be in a much more miserable state than me!"
While screaming in pain, Lei Jun was still hurling harsh words at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan didn't care; he simply wanted him to see for himself how this matter would ultimately play out.
Not only did he spare his life, but he also had him write a letter to report the situation.
As for the details, Li Yuan left them to the Martial Academy's servants to handle.
There was no need to spend too much time on this Lei Jun.
Amidst today's disturbance, the expressions of the surrounding Instructors changed once again as they looked at Li Yuan.
They must have sensed that Li Yuan seemed much more ruthless than they had anticipated...
This young Disciple had previously been polite and courteous when sparring within the Martial Academy, showing no signs of ruthless methods.
But now, facing these external Martial Artists, Li Yuan actually possessed a decisive and ruthless edge!
However, the current problem was not something that could be solved simply by being ruthless enough.
"Li Yuan, some of what this man said might be incorrect, but regarding the Yan Family, he is likely not wrong.
Yan Wudi died at your hands, and so many people saw it.
It is impossible for the Yan Family not to come and demand an explanation from you."
Dean Guo looked even more worried than Li Yuan.
Yan Wudi was a very important figure in the Yan Family, one of their symbols.
The Yan Family could not possibly let his death slide so easily.
If they chose to compromise, the Yan Family's prestige would suffer a massive blow.
Since something happened to Yan Wudi, the Yan family member who would step up for him would surely be the Yan Family Head.
That Ninth-Grade Supreme.
"Dean, please rest assured. I have a clear idea of the retaliatory actions the Yan Family is about to take.
Besides, even if they don't come looking for me, I will go looking for them.
They must keep their promise; Yan Chenzhou must undergo the Drug Trial for me."
As Li Yuan spoke these words, Dean Guo was even more at a loss for how to respond.
They truly didn't know where Li Yuan's confidence came from.
That was a Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Yan Family.
Even if the Mysterious Supreme behind Li Yuan was truly willing to risk his life to stand up for him, it would still be an extremely perilous situation.
How could a newly emerged Supreme expert compare to a Supreme expert among the top three in Da Shun?"
Moreover, once these Supreme experts sensed danger, they would certainly prioritize self-preservation.
Not to mention them, Dean Guo used himself as a comparison.
As an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist, he also cherished his life immensely.
He wanted to help Li Yuan, but it was impossible for him to sacrifice himself.
