Chapter 176: Chapter 175: Secret Battle (Part 3)_1

In the midst of silence, Jia Yi watched as Lanaia left with her companion.

Faced with Fu Qian’s blatant personal threat, this regional head cowered once again.

Though puzzled about why the Academy Instructor was behaving so badly, he was clearly not willing to risk his life on a gamble.

After all, the murderer’s body was here, and with the Academy’s backing, once the identity was confirmed, all he had to do was think about how to report it properly—it wouldn’t be hard to muddle through.

As for reporting to the Academy, putting some pressure on them might be feasible, but he was skeptical about its effectiveness.

“Pleasant cooperation.”

...
Fu Qian took one last look at Ruan Shuo’s corpse and raised the car window.

Speed is of the essence in war; there was no time to tangle with Jia Yi here.

Unlike his own strategy shift from physical to mental, “it” clearly went from mental to physical.

First, a massive influx of Sword Intent, then directly inducing Ruan Shuo to change targets and physically eliminate him.

One could imagine that upon returning to the Academy, even more exciting events awaited.

But precisely because of this, he had to hurry back.

He couldn’t give “it” time to comfortably scheme.

After all, Li Weixuan might emerge as a Demigod at any moment, and then “it” would have another top-notch enforcer.

On the way back, Lanaia was also silent for a long time.

Resolving matters with such efficiency was naturally good for her, but Fu Qian’s performance was a little over-the-top.

He practically forced Jia Yi to retract his doubts, making the Academy seem like a criminal organization.

However, she had to admit that seeing Jia Yi’s earlier demeanor was oddly satisfying.

On the other hand, although the killer’s identity was not yet confirmed, it was clear he was a young practitioner of the Sword Dao.

If it turned out he was from the Swordsmanship Department, that wouldn’t be good news for the Academy.

“Do you think he could be—”

“Yes.”

Lanaia had only asked half the question when Fu Qian answered.

“How can you be so sure?”

Lanaia was surprised.

“A Swordsman’s intuition!”

Damn it—

At that moment, Lanaia felt an urge to hit him.

How had she not realized before how obnoxious this guy was!

Fuming inside, Lanaia couldn’t help but turn and give him a glare.

In the back seat, Fu Qian had already closed his eyes to rest.

…

“Instructor Lanaia, what on earth is going on?”

Lanaia, ever quick to act, returned to the Academy by the same route, dragging Fu Qian straight to the Swordsmanship Department without stopping.

Elegantly dressed, Jian Jingzheng had been waiting and immediately questioned them upon their arrival.

On the way, Lanaia had already informed the Swordsmanship Department.

“I need you to assist in confirming some information.”

Lanaia wasted no time, tossing the documents she had in her hand over to him.

Jian Jingzheng undeniably recognized Ruan Shuo, expressing sternness after only a glance.

“Are you saying this person attacked the warehouse and killed the guards?”

“You know him?”

Lanaia’s gaze was sharp, immediately noticing something off about Jian Jingzheng.

The latter gave her a peculiar look, pulling a paper from the documents.

“I know him, but according to the information you’ve provided, among the killed guards were Fifth Phase Transcendents… it’s utterly impossible.

His name is Ruan Shuo, just a student. Although diligent, as far as I know, he hasn’t been promoted to Middle Tier yet.

For him to single-handedly kill those people, doesn’t it seem a bit irrational?”

This…

When Lanaia arrived to deliver the coup de grâce, Ruan Shuo was already plastered against the wall, and she hadn’t witnessed the specific actions, making this question difficult to answer momentarily.

“Reasonable.”

Seeing Lanaia seek help with her gaze, Fu Qian didn’t refuse, stepping forward and lightly uttering two words.

…

Hey, you’re not going to cause trouble here too, are you?

Lanaia looked at Fu Qian with some nervousness, genuinely worried that he might issue another death decree and make the situation uncontrollable.

“Who is this?”

Fu Qian’s tone clearly displeased Jian Jingzheng.

“Fu Qian from Heaven’s Commencement Institute, with me to handle this incident.”

Lanaia hastily introduced from the side.

Heaven’s Commencement…

Jian Jingzheng snorted disdainfully, making no attempt to hide the contempt on his face, and then suddenly remembered something.

“Fu Qian… I received a report today that someone trespassed into the Sword Pavilion, and the name seems to match…”

“That was me.”

Fu Qian straightforwardly admitted it without hesitation.

“Such behavior is a definite violation of the rules, and if you can’t provide a reasonable explanation, I’m afraid I will have to file a report and request punishment.”

Jian Jingzheng narrowed his eyes, staring at Fu Qian as he spoke.

“I have a mystical connection with the Sword Dao. As I passed by the Sword Pavilion, I was moved by it and couldn’t help but go up. Is this explanation acceptable?”

“Couldn’t help it?”

Jian Jingzheng was astounded by Fu Qian’s reasoning, scoffing at it afterward.

“You claim to have a connection just like that. Do you think anyone would believe your word?”

“I believe it.”

However, before he could finish, a voice suddenly arose from outside.

This voice?

Jian Jingzheng first frowned and then realized something, abruptly looking up towards the person entering from the doorway.

“The Institute Head, you’ve come out of seclusion? Could it be that you have already…”

“Not yet.”

Li Weixuan waved his hand, looking a bit pale.

“Suddenly feeling restless, the Sword Intent in my heart was disrupted. Continuing to meditate would have been more harmful than beneficial, so I thought it best to come out and have a look.”

This is serious!

To kill me more quickly, did they even drag Li Weixuan out of his imminent breakthrough?

Fu Qian looked at Li Weixuan in front of him, noticing that, although his presence was still formidable, it was fundamentally different from the state of a Demigod.

“They” must be in such a hurry that they can’t even wait half a day!

If things go as expected, Li Weixuan will certainly find a reason to kill me in a short while.

“In this person, I sense the presence of Sword Intent.”

Li Weixuan also scrutinized Fu Qian up and down, then spoke in a measured tone.

Sword Intent?

Jian Jingzheng looked at Fu Qian in disbelief, finding it hard to trust his own ears for a moment.

This existence, which could be described as a divine opportunity, was so rare even within the Swordsmanship Department that few could comprehend it.

Like myself, who, despite many years of arduous practice and having successfully entered the Middle Tier, still hadn’t caught even a glimpse of the Sword Intent’s enlightenment.

Now you’re telling me someone who is completely foreign to our practices sat in the Sword Pavilion and grasped Sword Intent?

“This… That’s impossible, right?”

He said it almost reflexively.

But Li Weixuan did not answer his challenge; instead, he took two steps forward, his aura locking onto Fu Qian.

The next moment, he placed his hand on his waist, and in an instant, the Sword Intent surged forcefully, overwhelming everything.

Stimulated by this, Fu Qian felt the Sword Intent within him burst to life, responding involuntarily.

A breath filled with ruthless slaughter emerged, and a chilling intent to kill instantly filled the whole room.

It truly is Sword Intent… Jian Jingzheng was momentarily shocked.

He knew quality when he saw it, and despite his reluctance, he had to acknowledge the reality before him.

Only, the killing nature was somewhat intense!

This murderous Sword Intent felt achingly familiar!

At this moment, Fu Qian shared his confusion.

If he remembered correctly, he had encountered this killing Sword Intent not long ago on Ruan Shuo.

It just so happened that during Li Weixuan’s attempt to test him, the infused Sword Intent turned into this.

The plot reeked of conspiracy!
