Chapter 569: Chapter 560: Confrontation

"Mo Wangchen, don’t go too far, what has Heavenly Pillar Peak ever done to offend you?!"

At last, someone could no longer bear it. The situation had developed to the point where not a single person from the entire Heavenly Pillar Peak could suppress Mo Wangchen.

"Heavenly Pillar Peak did not offend me; it was Yang Zhiyuan who offended me. I came here from the beginning, specifically to find him."

Mo Wangchen spoke indifferently. As he spoke, he once again drew his bow, aiming directly at the other party, "Your Senior Disciple really knows how to stay calm. He hasn’t shown up yet, so I can only amuse myself with you guys for a bit."

At these words, all the disciples of Heavenly Pillar Peak almost spit blood. Was this just amusing himself?

The entire Heavenly Pillar Peak was nearly overturned by him!

"Quickly summon the Senior Disciple!"

"Today, no matter what, we must suppress him in front of our Mountain Gate, otherwise where will our face be?"

Everyone was furious, utterly seething with anger. Mo Wangchen was far too arrogant.

"That’s right, hurry and make Yang Zhiyuan roll out here, or you won’t be enough."

Mo Wangchen smiled lightly. His arrow pierced through again, sending several disciples of Heavenly Pillar Peak flying out.

"Wait for me!"

A few disciples turned around, leaving behind a statement, then transformed into a streak of light, rushing deep into Heavenly Pillar Peak, evidently going to summon Yang Zhiyuan.

"I wonder if Yang Zhiyuan, once he arrives, will really be able to suppress Mo Wangchen?"

"There shouldn’t be a problem, after all, he is the Senior Disciple of Heavenly Pillar Peak. Looking over the entire younger generation of the Northern Immortal Domain, he is definitely among the top talents. Mo Wangchen hasn’t proven himself as Emperor yet; there might still be a considerable gap between his strength and that of Yang Zhiyuan."

"It isn’t certain. The situation has escalated to this point, and Yang Zhiyuan must be aware yet has not appeared. He must have some apprehensions."

"Could it be just as Mo Wangchen claims, that Yang Zhiyuan was once defeated by his hand?"

Disciples from all directions were discussing this matter. What exactly was going on would perhaps become clear once Yang Zhiyuan appeared.

Now that the disciples of Heavenly Pillar Peak had personally gone to invite Yang Zhiyuan, given his status and face, he had to appear, right?

Indeed, just moments after those few had left, a heaven-reaching aura burst forth from deep within Heavenly Pillar Peak. A long rainbow streaked through the sky at extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was near this airspace.

"Yang Zhiyuan!"

"He really came!"

Everyone’s faces showed intense interest, full of eager chatter. They were eager to see how Yang Zhiyuan would handle Mo Wangchen.

"The Senior Disciple has arrived!"

"Great, now we can definitely suppress Mo Wangchen!"

The eyes of the Heavenly Pillar Peak’s disciples gleamed brightly, and one of them stepped forward saying, "Senior Disciple, this person has openly provoked our Heavenly Pillar Peak, even injuring people. Please take action and suppress him to show the might of our Heavenly Pillar Peak!"

"Suppress him in front of the Mountain Gate for a year to satisfy our hatred!"

"Please make your move quickly, Senior Disciple!"

At that moment, after Yang Zhiyuan’s arrival, the faces of all the Heavenly Pillar Peak’s disciples were filled with hope. Looking at Mo Wangchen, their eyes were filled with malice, eager to suppress him right there.

Mid-air, Yang Zhiyuan’s brows were slightly furrowed, his face looking somewhat displeased.

He had not wanted to appear, but alas, someone had personally gone to summon him; he had no choice but to come, albeit reluctantly.

Previously, he had sent someone to kill Fu Jingyan in an attempt to silence him, a failure which surely left Fu Jingyan harboring resentment. Mo Wangchen must have been informed of his former passwords long ago.

Now Mo Wangchen had a hold over him, and Yang Zhiyuan did not wish to engage in conflict with him.

Otherwise, once the matter was exposed and the Sect ordered an investigation, he would definitely face severe punishment!

"Mo Wangchen, this area is within the bounds of Heavenly Pillar Peak. According to the rules of the Sect, you have no right to trespass here, let alone injure so many disciples of Heavenly Pillar Peak. How do you regard the rules of the Sect?!"

Yang Zhiyuan spoke up, not making a move right away but instead attempting to trouble Mo Wangchen with the rules of the Sect.

Around them, many people exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion. Yang Zhiyuan hadn’t attacked immediately—was he trying to reason with Mo Wangchen?

"Could it be true, as Mo Wangchen said earlier, that Yang Zhiyuan was once defeated by him and now hesitates to act because he lacks confidence to suppress Mo Wangchen?"

This was everyone’s thought at the moment. Logically speaking, with Mo Wangchen’s aggressive arrival and provocation of the entire Heavenly Pillar Peak, as the Senior Disciple, Yang Zhiyuan should have taken action, and it was difficult to justify not doing so.

"Whoosh!"

Amid the spectators’ puzzlement, right after Yang Zhiyuan finished speaking, Mo Wangchen pulled back the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and let an arrow fly.

"Why stand so high? Come down and talk!"

The arrow flew through the air, and Mo Wangchen’s cold voice reverberated, startling many around him.

"Hmph!"

Midair, Yang Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and after a cold snort, his aura burst forth, quickly extinguishing the incoming arrow.

"Don’t push me too far!"

As his words fell, he flipped his palm, and a vast ethereal hand appeared, blotting out the sun and fiercely pressing down towards Mo Wangchen.

Boom!

Mo Wangchen put away the Divine Bow and reached out his hand. A yellow hand seal collided with Yang Zhiyuan’s vast hand.

The terrifying wave of air erupted, and the momentum rolled in all directions. The entire heaven and earth seemed to darken at that moment—such was the frightfulness of the collision.

"Last night, you sent men outside the Mountain Gate to assassinate Fu Jingyan. Yang Zhiyuan, to attempt murder against fellow disciples is one of the ten grave crimes. As the Senior Disciple of Heavenly Pillar Peak, your crime should be even greater!"

Mo Wangchen soared into the sky, his voice booming, reverberating through the whole Immortal Sect of Inquiry.

"What?!"

"Yang Zhiyuan sent someone to assassinate Fu Jingyan?"

As these words were spoken, everyone’s faces were filled with horror.

"Fu Jingyan returned severely injured before; could it really have been a man sent by Yang Zhiyuan?"

"Although Fu Jingyan served as Mo Wangchen’s gatekeeper, he is still a disciple of Heavenly Pillar Peak and once followed Yang Zhiyuan closely. If it was really Yang Zhiyuan who sent the attacker, that would be rather indefensible!"

Amid all the discussions, Yang Zhiyuan, standing opposite Mo Wangchen, scoffed coldly, "Nonsense, what evidence do you have that it was me?"

"I, of course, have no evidence."

Mo Wangchen shrugged, "Who knows if you had people clean up the traces? The man you sent died at the hands of Fu Jingyan, and now you must have one less disciple in Heavenly Pillar Peak, don’t you? Isn’t that easy to check?"

"The Sect is so vast, just in Heavenly Pillar Peak alone we have nearly a thousand disciples; every day many disciples leave the mountain to travel. Don’t spew nonsense here and slander me!"
