I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: The Ruthlessness of the Ninth Crown Prince (2/4) Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: The Ruthlessness of the Ninth Crown Prince (2/4) On the way back to the Mixed Spirit Academy.

Yu Cheng looked at Cheng Dahai beside him and asked, “Elder Brother Cheng, how should we report to the Second Elder once we return?”

The attempt to intercept Blackie and the others had failed.

Cheng Dahai gave a wry smile and said, “How can we report? Just report the truth.”

“This mission wasn’t really meant for either of our parties from the start; we were merely extras. It was entirely a battle of wits and bravery between the Ninth Crown Prince and the other three Crown Princes. Who would have thought that the Ninth Crown Prince’s preparations were so thorough? He probably even knew that we were taking on the Third Crown Prince’s task.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng’s expression grew solemn, a chill inexplicably rising in his heart as he said with a bitter smile, “If possible, I really wouldn’t want to offend someone like the Ninth Crown Prince.”

Cheng Dahai nodded and said, “If the Ninth Crown Prince ascends the throne, we should also avoid traveling to the territories of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty; it’s uncertain if he would strike against us.”

“Then, are we in danger on our way back?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Dahai thought for a moment and shook his head, “Currently, the Ninth Crown Prince is still the weaker party. Even if he hasn’t won others over, there’s no need to turn all others into sworn enemies. As a personal disciple of the Second Elder, I hold a certain position in the Mixed Spirit Academy. If the Ninth Crown Prince wants to silence someone, it’s likely that the Second Elder or the Mixed Spirit Academy would favor the side hostile to the Ninth Crown Prince.”

“He probably wouldn’t resort to such measures.”

Yet at this moment, a swordsman approached Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng.

Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng instinctively stopped in their tracks.

Looking at the swordsman, Cheng Dahai wore a bitter smile, “It seems I underestimated the ruthlessness of the Ninth Crown Prince.”

The person who came was none other than the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor!

Watching the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor approach with his sword, Cheng Dahai stood firm, without a hint of inferiority, and took a step forward. He took out a token in his hand and held it forward, engraved with the words ‘Mixed Spirit’.

“I am a personal disciple under the Second Elder of the Mixed Spirit Academy. You can go back and tell the Ninth Crown Prince that we will never stand against him in the future.”

However, the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor continued to slowly close in on Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng, coldly saying, “I am just paid to do a job. Talk to him if you can escape from under my sword.”

It seemed that the Ninth Crown Prince wouldn’t allow even a sliver of possibility, thus deciding once and for all to eliminate them, subsequently leaving no conclusion and no trace back to the Ninth Crown Prince.

In the Chaos Realm, dangers lurked everywhere.

Even students from the Mixed Spirit Academy could be killed at any moment.

Cheng Dahai’s expression gradually grew grim.

Now, he somewhat regretted taking on this mission.

Cheng Dahai immediately crushed the token.

Yet, the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor simply flicked the hilt of his sword with his thumb, and a sharp flash of silver light shot out from the scabbard!

The message that had been sent out was immediately annihilated!

An expert of the Ancestral Realm.

Was not that simple.

Seeing this, Cheng Dahai relaxed his body, smiled, and said, “It seems the elder is still wary of the Mixed Spirit Academy.”

The Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor nodded, “After all, I’m alone. If several elders from the Mixed Spirit Academy were to chase after me, I would not be able to defeat them with my current strength.”

“But you did well too. Among the younger generation, to face my sword intent and pressure yet still maintain such relaxed composure.”

In contrast, Yu Cheng, standing beside Cheng Dahai, was already terrified out of his wits.

His pupils contracted and trembled, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to say something but had lost the ability to speak due to extreme fear.

Cheng Dahai glanced at Yu Cheng and sighed softly, “At least we must not lose face for the Mixed Spirit Academy.”

“Good!” A touch of respect appeared on the cold face of the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor.

“I will leave your body intact!”

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed across the foreheads of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng, and at that moment, the Heavenly Cluster Sword Ancestor sheathed his sword.

No one saw when he drew and sheathed his sword.

But when the cold light flashed, Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng both developed tiny blood holes in their foreheads, absent of any bleeding, only their souls annihilated…

The two no longer breathed and fell directly to the ground.

At that moment, the sword ancestor looked towards the dense forest beside him and frowned, “Fellow Daoist, how much longer do you intend to watch? Why not come out and meet?”

From a cluster of tall bushes, there was a slight rustle, and a figure clad in a black robe slowly emerged.

“Who might you be, Fellow Daoist?” the sword ancestor asked solemnly, eyeing the person in the black robe, “I have never encountered such an aura on you; are you not from Tianji Continent?”

The person in the black robe nodded.

“Are you here to seek justice for them?”

The person in the black robe shook their head, and an elderly female voice emanated from it, “I am merely passing by, curious about the ‘sword intent’ here, and thought to stop and observe. Your sword intent is indeed among the top five in Tianji Continent.”

While speaking, a whiff of an aura encapsulating the Power of Law slightly revealed itself.

The sword ancestor looked slightly stunned, then hurriedly bowed and said, “The senior flatters me too much, if there is nothing else, this junior will take his leave.”

“Hmm,” acknowledged the person in the black robe slightly nodding, using that very elderly and dull female voice, said, “Go ahead.”

While bowing, the sword ancestor disappeared from the spot.

At that time,

the person in the black robe slowly walked over to the bodies of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng and looked down.
Then, they also disappeared from the spot.

After half an incense stick of time,

a sword light finally left the area!

And the person in the black robe, half a day later, returned to the same spot.

Holding a talisman in their hands,

the talisman was shockingly a Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman!

Then the other hand produced the Eight Peaks Thunder Prison.

Only then did they lift the black robe, gazing solemnly at the two corpses.

“The Crown Prince is indeed ruthless. Previously, thinking that the Crown Prince wouldn’t let them go, it really turned out to be true…”

The voice returned to normal.

The person in the black robe turned out to be Mu Fusheng!

Previously, they had wanted to use their master’s aura to intimidate Cheng Dahai and the other, making them believe that Ye Qiubai and others had powerful backers, prompting them to report back to the Second Elder, hoping perhaps to deter the other party a little.

After all, Cheng Dahai was a powerhouse on the brink of the Ancestral Realm.

He certainly had many tricks up his sleeve.

Trying to kill Cheng Dahai without leaving any traces would likely be too difficult.

It would also reveal too many of their own cards.

The cost outweighed the benefits.

Thus, they had thought of this method.

Yet, they had not expected that Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng would have been killed by the Crown Prince’s men…

Mu Fusheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile: “Eventually, they will probably suspect us…”

Destroy the evidence?

Mu Fusheng shook their head; that would only make things more suspicious. It was better to leave their bodies so that when the Law Enforcement Hall of the Mixed Spirit Academy investigated, they could at least find traces unrelated to them.

With that thought, Mu Fusheng eradicated all traces of their own aura around the area before finally leaving.
