Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 308 - Aftermath

Due to his injuries, Yun Lintian could not move his body properly at this moment. He had to make sure Peng Haoye could not catch up to him in a short time. That meant he had to execute Shadow Step continuously. He wasn't confident at all at the moment.

"That's me. May I know who you are, Senior?" Yun Lintian pretended to know nothing about Peng Haoye and asked with a confused expression.

"Me? Hehe…" Peng Haoye laughed coldly. His right hand suddenly flicked slightly, and a string of sharp profound light immediately shot toward Yun Lintian at lightning speed.

Yun Lintian had anticipated this already. He didn't hesitate to execute Shadow Step as soon as he saw Peng Haoye move his right hand.

Bang!

The profound light entirely missed the target and fell down on the ground not far away from Yun Lintian's previous position. The commotion caused everyone that was already relaxed their guards to tense up again and look around in confusion.

Peng Haoye's face became gloomy as he glared at Yun Lintian, who just reappeared before the entrance formation with Linlin in his arms. He didn't expect Yun Lintian to be this quick. 

As he was about to launch another attack, he caught a glimpse of Principal Tian at the corner of his eyes and decided to call off his intention to kill Yun Lintian.

"Your luck is good enough." Peng Haoye sent a sound transmission into Yun Lintian's mind.

Yun Lintian panted heavily as he stared at Peng Haoye coldly. With his current power, it was too difficult to deal with Peng Haoye. He could only write this debt down first and wait for the chance to make him pay later.

"Brother Yun." Tian Jiuyi stepped out of the formation, glancing at Peng Haoye briefly, and greeted Yun Lintian. Others might not know what was going on earlier, but he knew exceptionally well. Peng Haoye's secret movement did not escape his eyes.

Yun Lintian nodded his head in reply and did not dare to relax his guard even though he needed to treat his injuries as soon as possible.

"Are you alright?" Yun Lingwei stepped forward and checked on Yun Lintian's body. Her complexion turned gloomy when she saw the injuries on him. She took out a high-grade healing pill and stuffed it into Yun Lintian's mouth while staring at Peng Haoye vigilantly.

At this moment, Principal Tian had landed on the square and calmly faced everyone. "Please calm down, everyone… First of all, I have to apologize to everyone for your loss. The academy will give everyone the best compensation later. Secondly, I hereby announce all the participants in this square will be recruited to the academy unconditionally. They will become at least an inner-court student."

At first, all the participants and their families were angry at Principal Tian and the academy. However, after listening to him, the anger in their hearts immediately disappeared more than half and was replaced with joy. They now became a student of the academy. An inner-court student on top of that. It was like a dream come true for them.

As for those who lost their children, even though they were furious, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction in the end. They could only swallow this anger and look forward to the compensation.

Peng Haoye frowned slightly and cast his gaze over them, and thought these people were so useless. They should at least demand something more from Principal Tian so that he could use this chance to stink him.

As if he knew what Peng Haoye was about to do next, Principal Tian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at him with a warning gaze. 

Under Principal Tian's warning, Peng Haoye considered the pros and cons for a while and finally decided not to do anything at this moment. What he needed to be concerned about right now was how to deal with the aftermath. Since Fallen Dragon unexpectedly died here, the original plan had to be revised, and he could not escape being implicated. 

Furthermore, from their looks, Principal Tian and Han Bingling seemed to have something on their sleeves. Peng Haoye needed to figure out what their plans were and prepare for the worst.

"Although everyone has become our student now, the third test will still go on a week later… The academy has already prepared accommodation for everyone. The academy elders will guide you to the place… As for the compensation, you can come to take it tomorrow." Principal Tian said further and signaled several academy elders nearby to bring everyone away.

A while later, the square had become empty, and only a few people were left behind. Naturally, Peng Haoye had also left the place.

Principal Tian calmly walked toward Yun Lintian and said sincerely. "Young man. Thank you for what you did."

Yun Lintian didn't have any respect for Principal Tian and even despised him a bit. He simply nodded his head and concentrated on his recovery further.

Tian Jiuyi was embarrassed upon seeing this. He understood why Yun Lintian would feel this way. If it was him, he would be angry too. No matter what reason, Principal Tian could not escape the responsibility of this incident. However, Principal Tian was his great-grandfather, after all. He didn't want the two of them to have a conflict.

Principal Tian smiled faintly and did not mind Yun Lintian's behavior. After all, he had the right to do so. He turned to Yun Lingwei and said. "Little girl, are you interested in joining the academy? Your talent in formation art is the best I've ever seen in these past hundreds of years. I can give you the highest treatment if you are willing."

Yun Lingwei was similar to Yun Lintian. She was dissatisfied with Principal Tian and the academy for what they did. She shook her head and said without reserve. "Thank you, but no, old man. I'm not interested in joining such a place with an inconsiderate and careless principal like you."

Principal Tian and a few Hall Masters nearby were taken aback for a second. They didn't expect Yun Lingwei to be this straightforward.

Among them, Hong Wuya suddenly laughed out loud and said.. "I like her temper."
