《Last Wish System 》Chapter 439: The Envoy Reaches Liye Academy
Advertisement
There was a huge shock in Liye City after that young master aged suddenly.
Although there were a lot of rumors about what happened, all the rumors told in the same reason, that had happened for having offended Ancient Master Liye.
The family of the young master also faced trouble after the fact that someone of their family offended Ancient Master Liye and faced something like divine punishment.
That family was the strongest in the whole world, and their ambitions to conquer the whole world were enormous, but they never dared to offend Ancient Master Liye directly.
Moreover, the elders knew about the existence of powerful experts backing the Liye Academy, and although they usually weren't on the world for thousands of years, they didn't dare to act in a way that could offend them.
They originally planned to conquer the world with a soft approach making that everyone acknowledged them as their leaders because, in that way, no one would complain to them.
However, the younger generations felt that they were exaggerating about those related to Ancient Master Liye and turned too arrogant.
The arrogance increased with each generation until their young master finally faced disaster for his words.
Not even the guards and the teachers of the Liye Academy dared to disrespect their family, so it was only natural that the ego of the young ones became inflated.
The rest of the people feared retaliation, so they never spoke against their family and agreed to everything without caring about what it was.
Unless some of those backers were present, it was difficult that they would act to avenge a single person, but the dead would still be dead after being avenged, and no one wanted to die.
The young master who received Yale's punishment was expelled from his family after they realized that his potential had disappeared.
The news about the incident spread quickly, and those who worshiped Ancient Master Liye started to ask for explanations to the family of the young master.
Thus, they threw him to the angry masses as a way to avoid invoking their own destruction.
They were the strongest in the world, but if they were to murder all the people who were complaining about their young master's action, they would be eradicated by the backers of the Liye Academy when they learned about it.
Compared to face total annihilation, they chose to offer the culprit to the masses, and since he had turned useless to the family after losing his potential to train, they didn't even feel pain for it.

In their eyes, he deserved it for destroying their plans to conquer the world.
After all, after such incident, it would be extremely hard for them to conquer the world without violence for some thousands of years, and even after that, they would need to start building their reputation from zero.
The young master suffered in the hand of the masses and lived as a beggar for a few days until he died from hunger and injuries.
Not even a single person tried to help him, and everyone stared him with disdain, which also broke his mind before he died.
Moreover, his name passed to the story as a great evildoer who faced divine punishment, of course, omitting the details.
That was the reason for his family knowing that they wouldn't be able to continue with their plans as their name had become tarnished by their foolish young master.
In the next years, Yale's incarnation didn't interfere and just gathered information through the whole world without even saying a word to the residents.
After such an incident happened, it was just a matter of time for some of the backers of the Liye Academy to appear, and Yale's incarnation was sure that they would have some relationship to him and could help him to find his old master.
However, there weren't any of them in the worlds or near it, and the news needed some time to reach them and then they needed some time to reach the world, so it ended up with a delay of several years.
The envoy from the backers wasn't one of Liye's disciple, he was just the disciple from the disciple of Liye's disciple, but even in that case, his standing was great in a place where a lot of people worshiped ancient Master Liye.
Moreover, he was quite powerful compared to the ordinary people in that world. Comparing him to those in Yale's world, he was equivalent to a Law Master, so he had already reached immortality.
Yale had never met that person when he lived as Liye, so he was a bit depressed as he would have preferred someone who had met him in the past.
By the time that envoy reached the world, the family of that young master had already left the world.
Although they weren't the culprits, there was too much social pressure, and they didn't know how much tolerant the envoy would be.

Thus, they left the world and planned to wait some thousands of years to return under a different name to start again with their plan.
Given their strength, they could have killed the envoy, but if they dared to do that, they wouldn't be able to flee to any point on the whole universe because they would be pursued until their utter extermination.
After all, they were just the strongest in a world that was famous for their teachers and not for their military power. The strongest members of the family were just comparable to the envoy; they could have killed him by the superiority of numbers, but they knew that there were people far more powerful back scenes.
Even disregarding the strength of the group, rumors said that their leader was the one who taught Ancient Master Liye. People like them weren't even qualified to know his name, but ordinary people called that figure, Supreme Master.
He was awesome at teaching others, but he was also known as the strongest alive expert in the universe.
Legends said that he wasn't that strong in the were that Ancient Master Liye was alive, but it had been too much time since then.
Some people doubted that the Supreme Master was that powerful, but even if he wasn't that powerful, he was still powerful enough to crush them, so they didn't dare to offend him.
Powerful experts didn't meddle in mundane affairs, but harming their disciples was unforgivable.
Although the envoy wasn't a disciple of the Supreme Master, it was still some generations below, so even if all the others in the middle failed, at the end the Supreme Master would move.
Usually, the one to move was the direct master of the offended one, but if that master couldn't solve it, the master of the master would act and successively, so the direct disciples were feared even if there were some generations between them and the truly fearsome ones.
Of course, if those disciples were to be the ones provoking trouble or being arrogant, they wouldn't be helped.
The rumors also said that the Supreme Master was especially protective with Ancient Master Liye's disciples and those related to them, so there were few foolish enough to offend them directly.
The envoy called Yale's disciple to interrogate him about what had happened, but his words were the same as the reports of the rest of people who saw it and it seemed that the young master was the only one at fault in the incident.
Moreover, the envoy couldn't see anything special in Yale's disciple. He even noticed that his talent was below average and that it would be difficult for him to reach immortality. Of course, he didn't know that it was directly impossible for him to reach it.
He had thought that if the one who had the conflict with the punished one had some talent, he would pick him as his own disciple, as it could count as if Ancient Master Liye had helped that person, but he wouldn't accept a disciple with such a low talent.
After Yale's disciple left, the envoy heard a voice.
"Are you depressed after seeing that he didn't have a huge talent?"
The envoy replied instinctively without thinking that he was alone in the room and was impossible for someone else speaking to him.
"Indeed. It is a pity that his talent is so low. Teaching him would be a waste of time for both of us. It is better for him to live an ordinary life in this academy."
After speaking, the envoy finally noticed that the situation was strange and turned back to see who was speaking to him.
"My talent when I was in this universe was even lower than him as I couldn't train at all. Are you saying that my old master intentions in teaching me were a waste of time?"
The envoy was without words after seeing the person in front of him. He could tell that it wasn't a physical body, but he couldn't fail to identify that face despite hadn't met him personally.
"Ancient Master Liye..."
He could only mutter those three words after seeing Yale's incarnation which took his aspect from the time that he was Ancient Master Liye.
"Bring me to old master's place. As for that guy you despised for his talent, he is already my disciple, so you aren't qualified to teach him even if you want. However, if you speak about that to others, you will end like that young master."
