"What's the situation?"

"Eh? Mentor Xiao, Mentor Zhou, and Mentor Liu are dead?"

"Who was the one who released that horrific killing aura?"

"Mentor Su, what is going on?"

Many of the mentors' faces were filled with suspicious and grave expressions. After all, three mentors and two guards were dead in such a short period of time. There were another two corpses at the corner; based on their clothing, they were also from the guards' team. That formidable killing aura earlier was something that would definitely rouse some suspicion.

"Mentor Meng, bring this female cadet back for recuperation."

Su Ruoxue ignored everyone and beckoned a female mentor over. She carried Jiang Yi and explained to everyone: "This incident is very complex. I think it is best for everyone not to ask so much. It will not be beneficial for you to know it either. When Princ.i.p.al Qi comes back, she will naturally give everyone an explanation."

When Su Ruoxue took out the name of Princ.i.p.al Qi, it showed how serious this matter was, deterring the mentors and the guards from asking any more questions. But a few guardsmen still looked at Su Ruoxue with suspicious eyes and didn't want to leave. The rest of the mentors began to move around to appease the other cadets.

"What?"

Within a carriage outside of the valley, Zhangsun Wuji was listening to a report from his subordinate. He let out an expression of disbelief and involuntarily exclaimed, "The operation was a failure? Jiang Yi killed five of the members from Death G.o.d? Three of the mentors are dead, too? Now, Jiang Yi is being protected by mentors and guards; and there is no way to make a move?"

Kneeling in front of him was a man dressed in the guards' robe. The man nodded and said, "The information is confirmed, and the members of the Death G.o.d have begun to retreat. They have lost the best timing to attack, and they seemed to blame us for giving the wrong information…"

"Impossible!"

Zhangsun Wuji still didn't believe it and said coldly, "How old is Jiang Yi? He was still a useless trash back at the Skyplume City and only had a few months to increase his strength. Even if he is heaven-defying, he would at best be at the strength of someone at the second or third stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. How was it possible for him to kill so many Purple Mansion Realm martial artists? Ridiculous!"

The guardsman shook his head and sighed. "Young Lord, Mentor Xiao and the two other mentors are truly dead. This information has been verified by our men! Sigh… what should we do now? Why not report this matter to His Highness and ask him to send all the college's hidden spies from the Jiang Clan to kill Jiang Yi?"

"No, no way!"

Zhangsun Wuji let out a long breath while trying his best to suppress the shock in his heart. His malicious eyes turned a few rounds before he spoke, "Yiliu cannot make any move. At least not before we reach the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. Or else, it will be easy for people to get a hold of it. If Jiang Yi is dead, then everything is alright. But if he isn't dead and the Western Garrison Liege Lord knew of it, even his 'prince' status would be revoked!"

The guard's face turned severe. "Do we dispatch our own men? We have suffered too many losses. Mentor Xiao and the other two had already been sacrificed…"

"We have to kill Jiang Yi no matter what the price is! He is too fearsome. If he is allowed another few more years, he will surely become another Jiang Bieli."

Zhangsun Wuji said with both restraining fear and sorrow. He didn't know how Jiang Yi killed the five a.s.sa.s.sins from Death G.o.d or the three mentors, but Jiang Yi had too much potential. He couldn't allow Jiang Yi to continue living. He muttered to himself for a moment before revealing a ruthless intent in his eyes. "Go, get Elder Hong to come here."

"Elder Hong?"

The guard was startled. He knew of this Elder Hong, too—as he was the secret guard for Zhangsun Wuji and was a Soul Travel Realm expert! Zhangsun Wuji actually wanted to mobilize him? Wasn't he afraid that he would be in danger? What's more, was he actually able to utilize a secret guard? This guard was doubtful, but he didn't dare to say any nonsense; he immediately got off the carriage and merged into the darkness.

"Young Clan Head!"

Soon enough, a veteran who was clothed in black robes flashed into the carriage. Zhangsun Wuji didn't beat around the bush and said, "Elder Hong, do me a favor and kill someone! This individual is important. If he didn't die, he would bring misfortune to the Zhangsun Clan in the future."

Elder Hong, who was clad in black, shook his head with a serious expression, "Young Clan Head. You should know of the rules."

"I know of the rules, but with this, you should make a move, right?"

Zhangsun Wuji took out a black-colored token, and the words "Zhangsun" were carved on it. Elder Hong's eyes had this glow of spirit as he spoke in a serious tone, "The Clan Head's token? Who is the target?"

Zhangsun Wuji's mouth had this flash of cruelty as he said, "Jiang Yi! A Write-In Cadet, and he is now within the valley. Once you enter the valley, someone will guide you. Remember! Be swift and not leave any trace. If there are others in the vicinity… kill them all as well!"

"Swis.h.!.+"

Elder Hong's body flashed as he vanished from the carriage. His body was like a phantom which easily avoided everyone as he submerged into the valley.

The commotion within the valley had calmed down, but the cadets didn't dare to recklessly move around. All of them were gathered in the carriages beside the mentors while waiting for the three princ.i.p.als to return. They weren't certain about their safety without the protection of Soul Travel Realm martial artists. None of them dared to move under the current circ.u.mstances.

Su Ruoxue and a few female mentors were gathered together, and there were eight guardsmen that were beside them… while Jiang Yi was in the same carriage as Su Ruoxue. The danger might seem to have subsided, but Su Ruoxue still had this serious expression. She had this indescribable feeling that the mastermind of this incident still had another backup plan!

"Boom!"

An explosion suddenly echoed from deep within the valley, causing countless female cadets to scream. Su Ruoxue immediately raised her brows, and her expression grew ashen, knowing that this wasn't a good sign and the enemy's ultimatum was here.

"Swis.h.!.+"

Due to the disturbance in the deeper parts of the valley, the mentors and guards surged towards there at the first notice. Too many people had died tonight; if the casualties continued to increase, they wouldn't know how to give an explanation to Princ.i.p.al Qi.

When Su Ruoxue saw that the other female mentors also rushed over, she couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh. She placed Jiang Yi within the carriage before drawing her silver longsword and standing on the shaft of the carriage. She was waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Tonight's incident was obviously planned by someone of an esteemed status and had huge influential power. Su Ruoxue didn't know who exactly was it, but she knew it was someone from either the Jiang or the Zhangsun Clan.

They first used three tier-three demonic beasts to lure the three princ.i.p.als away, then they used the Mountain-Piercing Mouse to create chaos; and finally, used a.s.sa.s.sins and spies within the college to eliminate Jiang Yi. Had it not been for Jiang Yi's horrifying Ma.s.sacre Intent, he would already be a corpse, right?

Now that their original plan failed, they still weren't going to give up? They had once again lured all the mentors away. It was obvious that this final killing tactic was definitely going to be terrifying. Su Ruoxue understood that if she didn't leave, she would probably have to be buried together with Jiang Yi!

"Swis.h.!.+"

A gentle voice echoed as Su Ruoxue closed her eyes slightly. When she sensed the strength of the oncoming enemy, she let out a desolated smile as she looked at Jiang Yi, who was inside of the carriage, and sighed lightly. "Jiang Yi, you once saved my life. I shall be buried together with you this time, and all our scores shall be settled…"

The Zhangsun Clan's Soul Travel Realm expert had arrived!
