This sudden roar shocked everyone present; is soone really blind enough to provoke Ling Fan at his peak mont?
Amidst the astonished crowd, people followed the sound and automatically cleared a path, revealing two middle-aged n, walking side by side with faces full of anger.
Upon seeing Dean Ge, they imdiately asked furiously, "Dean Ge, is there a brazen upstart nad Ling Fan here?"
When Dean Ge caught sight of the two n, his heart skipped a beat; it was true when they say talk of the devil, and he appears – the n were none other than the current heads of the Xiang Family of Beiyue and the Mu Family of Mount Zhongyue, Xiang Hou and Mu Ji.
Ling Fan didn't recognize these two people at all, and not many of the disciples in Zhongnan Academy could either; the leaders of the recluse Noble Houses of the Five Peaks were characters as elusive as dragons – how could they have had the chance to et them?
"Damn it, they're looking for ? Is that a mistake? Since when did I have so many enemies!" Ling Fan grumbled inwardly, a bit frustrated.
Even people like Su Qiong were at a loss for words; it seed like Ling Fan was facing troubles from all sides; who knew how much trouble he had stirred up outside!
Qi He stared blankly at the newcors; he didn't recognize who these two suddenly appearing figures were either.
Wu Rao observed the academy dean's expression, thoughtfully: now she wasn't worried about Ling Fan; instead, she was concerned about Ling Fan making so many enemies – was that really a good thing?
Dean Ge hesitated, unsure of how to answer, and his mind was filled with doubts. Although two heads of the Noble Houses of the Five Peaks had arrived, he didn't believe that they could truly do anything to Ling Fan.
"Dean Ge, who are these two n? I don't seem to recognize them!" Ling Fan, after pondering for a mont, still asked indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Dean Ge's throat bobbed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly internally, "Are you kidding ; if they don't know you, why would they be looking for you?"
"Ahem...These two are Xiang Hou, Head of the Xiang Family, and Mu Ji, Head of the Mu Family, both from one of the Five Peaks," Dean Ge grumbled inside, but still hurriedly introduced them.
"The Xiang Family, the Mu Family?" Ling Fan muttered at the news, then suddenly ca to a realization.
The two people he had killed on Shennong Peak previously were from these two families; no wonder these two n had co knocking. It seed they must've gone to see Murong Fei; otherwise, they wouldn't have known to find him at Zhongnan Academy.
However, he wasn't blaming Murong Fei for leaking the information, as he had expected this pressure would be too much for her; so, when they parted ways, he reported his own whereabouts.
Xiang Hou and Mu Ji, upon seeing Dean Ge treating a young kid with such respect, imdiately looked at each other with concentrated gazes and turned their curious heads.
"Who is this kid..." Both were surprised and inquisitive.
As Dean Ge was at a loss, Ling Fan said indifferently, "Weren't you the ones clamoring to find earlier? I am Ling Fan. What, have you co for revenge because of those two fools from Shennong Peak who courted death?"
Seeing Ling Fan reveal his identity, Dean Ge imdiately felt relief flooding his heart!
Everyone had already gathered many details from the exchange between the two parties; so Ling Fan had killed people from the Noble Houses of the Five Peaks on Shennong Peak before coming back?
"Hiss~"
The crowd couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air; this man truly dared to stir the heavens, having antagonized the Noble Houses of the Five Peaks even before coming to the academy for assessnt.
However, thinking of Ling Fan's performance along the way, even the ancient ancestors at the Wuxuan Realm were instantly killed with a flick of his finger; in the Martial Arts World, it seed there really was nobody he dared not offend!
This ti, facing the leaders of the Noble Houses of the Five Peaks seeking retribution, there was an unusual silence among the crowd, devoid of the previous excitent and joy!
While they had hoped to see Ling Fan beaten, reason told everyone that this wish seed rather extravagant. After the ancestor was killed in a second, the crowd sobered up quite a bit and dared not excite blindly.
Thus, the scene presented before everyone was one of silent speechlessness, calmly observing Xiang Hou and Mu Ji in the face of the clan leaders coming for revenge of the Five Peaks.
Beneath their calm gazes even lay a hint of pity and inexplicable concern!
Xiang Hou and Mu Ji's brows slightly furrowed, feeling that the atmosphere before them was sowhat strange, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly was amiss.
However, as soon as they found out that this young fellow before them was the murderer of their sons, their eyes imdiately turned bloodshot, and they bellowed angrily, "You bastard, so it was you, this dog who doesn't know whether to live or die, today this old man will make sure you can neither live nor die!"
Just then, two astonished voices rang out, echoing through the area.
"Dad, how co you're here?"
"Dad, what has happened?"
Following the two surprised questions, two handso figures entered the scene from behind the crowd.
When everyone got a clear look at the newcors, their expressions beca odd. If these two had appeared just a little earlier, before the elder ancestor had shown up, everyone would have been ecstatic to the point of madness.
But now, their arrival didn't seem to carry much significance.
Wu Rao focused her gaze and realized that these two were none other than Xiang Fu and Mu Xun from the Hidden Dragon Institute, the first and second ranked on the Hidden Dragon List!
If it weren't for the dean and the elder ancestor showing their hands, and the heads of the Five Peaks families along with these two making an appearance, she would certainly have been full of worry for Ling Fan.
Now, however, she began to worry for these few people instead!
Dean Ge stood by the side with a strange look on his face, wanting to say sothing but hesitating, feeling inclined to remind them of sothing.
At this ti, Xiang Fu and Mu Xun each ca to stand before their respective family heads.
"Dad, why did you co to the academy in person?" Xiang Fu respectfully inquired as he stood in front of Xiang Hou.
While speaking, he gave Ling Fan a cursory glance. On his way over, he had noticed that his father seed to be furious at this fellow.
He and Mu Xun had been in seclusion within the academy's secret chamber, unaware of the earth-shattering events that had happened outside. The two had just ended their cultivation and stepped out of the secret chamber.
No sooner had they erged than they heard the academy's disciples fervently discussing that sothing had happened. Many people flocked to the site of the new student assessnt, and, curious, they too followed the stream of people to see what the commotion was about.
They hadn't expected that upon their arrival, they would find their fathers there too.
Xiang Hou looked at his son Xiang Fu standing before him with a sense of relief. This was his future successor for the Xiang Family, thankfully it wasn't Xiang Fu who had gotten into trouble!
He nodded slightly and then pointed at Ling Fan, berating in a cold voice, "This kid killed your second brother Xiang Jie, and also Mu Family's third son Mu Ziping!"
With Xiang Hou's sharp rebuke, the atmosphere of the scene instantly turned gloomy, as every person present felt a bone-chilling cold emanating from the Xiang Family father and son.
"What... what? My second brother is dead? He killed him?" Xiang Fu stuttered in utter shock, pointing at Ling Fan.
At that mont, Mu Xun too learned the truth from Mu Ji's mouth, equally overwheld with shock, staring at Ling Fan with utter disbelief!
The onlookers were also astoundingly shocked, yet they didn't express much emotional turmoil, since they had already been numbed by the day's dramatic events.
In comparison, this madman Ling Fan had killed a Wuxuan Realm elder as if it were nothing, the death of a son from your Five Peaks Noble Houses doesn't seem all that surprising!
Look at the Xiang Family from Zhongnan Heavenly Vein, they were completely wiped out, now that's truly tragic!
"Ahem, well, gentlen, there is nothing in this world that cannot be resolved, so I think we should just let bygones be bygones!" Dean Ge couldn't help giving a well-aning reminder.
