Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 297 - Public Controlling (1)



Tian Jiuyi's expression turned cold as he glanced upward and saw Peng Haoye slowly descending from the sky.

"Nephew Tian, you can't be careless." Peng Haoye landed a few steps away from Tian Jiuyi and said with a smile. He pointed at Yun Lingwei and continued. "I don't care what relationship you have with her. I cannot simply let anyone with an unknown origin get close to the entrance. I believe even your great-grandfather would do the same."

"I don't think it is Vice-Principal Peng's turn to interfere with me, right? What I am going to do next is to get everyone out of the forest. I don't understand why you are so adamantly preventing her from saving them… Could it be Vice-Principal Peng has a secret agenda? Don't tell me the rumors about your clansmen are relating to Poison Valley is true?" Tian Jiuyi's eyes turned sharp as he spoke.

His words immediately aroused the crowd's curiosity as they turned to look at Peng Haoye questioningly.

Peng Haoye narrowed his eyes slightly and responded calmly. "I think Nephew Tian is misunderstood about me. I'm not trying to prevent you from rescuing everyone, but rather preventing you from committing a mistake out of rashness. Do you really believe she, a mere Origin Profound realm, could truly operate the formation that even your great-grandfather cannot do it? Don't be naïve, Nephew Tian."

He turned to the crowd and continued. "I understand everyone's current feelings, but all of you have to trust our academy and me. We are currently doing our best to bring your children back as soon as possible… However, I cannot guarantee the outcome if someone has interfered with our operation."

People among the crowd immediately glanced at each other and started to persuade Tian Jiuyi. "This young man, please take your friend away and let Vice-Principal Peng do his job."

"That's right. You shouldn't act recklessly. We cannot afford to lose our children."

One after another, the clamor became louder and louder. Tian Jiuyi couldn't help but take a deep look at Peng Haoye. He knew if he insisted further, he might end up provoking the public's anger, and the consequence could be something he didn't want to see.

Seeing Tian Jiuyi silent, Peng Haoye smiled coldly and didn't let this chance go. He asked sternly. "By the way, I am curious. No, I think everyone is the same as me. I wonder how did you manage to come out of that place?… Why didn't you bring everyone out with you if you have a way to leave the Fallen Dragon Forest? Don't you think you need to clarify yourself, Nephew Tian?"

Peng Haoye's words instantly ignited the anger of the crowd. They had some doubts about this at first, but no one said anything in the end. Now that Peng Haoye had said this, they immediately realized it was the case as he spoke.

A middle-aged man with a short temper strode forward and grabbed Tian Jiuyi's collar while shouting. "Answer me, why did you escape alone and leave my child behind!?"

Being scolded unreasonably, Tian Jiuyi frowned and tried to push the middle-aged man away. However, the moment he was about to touch the middle-aged man, he suddenly felt something was off because the middle-aged man actually smiled at him before he voluntarily flew out as though he had been hit violently.

Thud!

The middle-aged man landed on the ground and even spat out a mouthful of blood while screaming. "Y…you! You hit me!?"

The crowd looked at Tian Jiuyi with astonished expressions. They couldn't believe Tian Jiuyi would be this unreasonable. 

"Hehe… I know it. You are not a good thing!"

"That's right! Not only did he escape selfishly by himself, but he also attacked us with no reason!"

The crowd started scolding Tian Jiuyi and even tried to attack him. 

"I…" Tian Jiuyi dodged to the side and tried to explain, but it was futile. He could not go against the raging crowd by himself.

At this moment, Peng Haoye stepped forward, releasing his aura to stop everyone, and said. "Please calm down, everyone. I believe Nephew Tian did it intentionally. Please forgive him once. After all, he is the Principal Tian's great-grandson."

"What? He's Principal Tian's great-grandson?… No wonder he dares to attack us like this." A young man among the crowd shouted loudly. 

"His surname is Tian? If I remember correctly, he didn't even take on the knowledge test, right? How did he enter the second test?"

"What else? With his background, do you think he needs to take part in the first test?"

The clamor erupted once again. This time, everyone seemed to be furious than before as they kept shouting and scolding Tian Jiuyi without caring about his background.

Han Bingling stared at Peng Haoye, and the latter had also looked at her with a provoking smile. She knew if she jumped out this time to protect Tian Jiuyi, Peng Haoye would use this chance to make her Frozen Moon Palace stink.

Just as Han Bingling pondered whether she should step forward, she suddenly noticed a white figure descending from behind the group of clouds. Seeing this, she smiled slightly and stood calmly without the intention of helping Tian Jiuyi.

"Calm down, everyone." The newcomer was naturally Lin Taixu. His appearance caused a frown to appear on Peng Haoye, but it soon replaced with a faint smile.

The crowd stopped shouting and looked at Lin Taixu uncertainly. Not everyone knew him, but they could guess about his identity.

"You are late, Vice-Principal Lin." Peng Haoye said with a light chuckle.

Lin Taixu snorted coldly and ignored Peng Haoye. He turned to the crowd and said. "I am here to tell everyone that our Principal Tian is currently trying to bring your children back. Please patiently wait for the result." He paused for a moment to look at Tian Jiuyi and continued. "I heard everything all of you said earlier. I think everyone has misunderstood Young Master Tian. I believe everyone should understand why he cannot bring everyone out with him. After all, the participants are scattering all over the place.. Why don't you give him a chance to explain about it first."
