Chapter 160 - Storm (II)



Chapter 160: Storm (II)

Sun Changbin did not think much of it and continued to tease him. “Brother Su’s ice attribute internal force of ice is still the most impressive. In the future, I can boast to others that I once had a colleague who almost had a 50% chance of winning against the masked man.”

When Su Chengwang heard this, he almost choked. He hurriedly explained, “Don’t go out and say that. You’ll be harming me. The truth is that I was sent flying by a strike from the masked man. It’s obvious that he was holding back.”

Sun Changbin smiled and said, “I was just joking. Who asked you to brag? Did you really think we would believe you?”

Su Chengwang’s expression froze.

He could only bear the consequences of his own boasting.

Fortunately, only a few colleagues in the military who were at the warrior realm knew about it. No one would spread the news.

The conversation in the meeting room became louder and louder, gradually turning into a commotion.

Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened.

Ren Pingsheng walked straight in, followed by a middle-aged man.

He was only wearing an ordinary sleeveless shirt, but it could not hide the strong outline of his body. He emitted a powerful aura from head to toe, like a ferocious beast at the top of the food chain.

The meeting room fell silent, and the military warriors stopped their discussion.

Ren Pingsheng introduced, “This is the new guardian of East Lake City, Feng Zhijiang.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the military warriors changed.

In their hearts, they had already vaguely sensed that the matter of the porcelain bowl auction seemed to have escaped Ren Pingsheng’s control.

The original plan was to limit it to East Lake City, but in the end, it expanded to the entire Jiangnan province, and indirectly caused the death of four inner court heads from the Kunshan Sect.

The four inner court heads cultivated the special technique passed down in the Kunshan Sect. When they worked together, they could enhance each other’s strength. Their strength was higher than four city guardians.

From the perspective of combat power alone, the death of four inner court heads at once was a huge matter that shook the entire province.

Ren Pingsheng continued, “I’ll be going to Jiangnan City for some investigation in the next few days. During my absence, everyone has to cooperate with the new city guardian.”

After explaining his work, Ren Pingsheng quickly left the conference room.

The military warriors watched helplessly as Ren Pingsheng left. They all felt a little desolate stemming from the regret that one would not be able fulfill their role as a hero.

Everyone knew very well that even if there were no major problems after the investigation, it was impossible for Ren Pingsheng to not be punished.

His departure this time also meant that he would not return. East Lake City would enter the era of the next city guardian.

In the depths of the forest behind the mountain of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect,

countless sword shadows floated in the air, followed by waves of heat that continuously spread out from the forest.

After a long time, once everything returned to normal, a young woman sheathed her sword and stood up.

She was wearing a white Taoist robe. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her face had a cold expression. There was a purple flame mark between her eyebrows, which accentuated her fair and delicate skin, which looked like white jade.

She was a core disciple of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect’s Purple Light Peak’s, Li Kun.

Outside the forest, Li Yuanzhuo pretended to be calm. When the forest quietened down, he walked deeper into the forest. The team led by the Li siblings and a few other core disciples was about to be sent to Jiangnan province to investigate the whereabouts of the masked man.

Along the way, he kept weighing the pros and cons. Should he tell his sister that he had been forced by the masked man to enter the library to find the Li clan’s Skyfall Sword Technique?

Even though the masked man had caused a huge commotion in the Blue Cloud Sword Sect that day, neither the elders nor the sect master suspected that he had brought the man into the library.

The first reason was that no one in the Li clan had cultivated the Skyfall Sword Technique to the extent of transforming their internal force.

Secondly, the Li clan’s ordinary warrior-level sword technique did not catch the attention of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect at all. The elder who had accepted the sword manual had not read it seriously at all. Moreover, the first floor contained basic martial arts techniques, and functioned like a library where every disciple could read and return the books.

Third, the Blue Cloud Sword Sect had placed all their attention on the cultivation techniques on the second floor. Li Yuanzhuo had returned to his residence after the incident and secretly placed the copied version back on the first floor of the library. In the end, no one suspected that he was a spy.

Li Kun had a cold expression on her face. When she saw Li Yuanzhuo walking over, she said calmly, “Let’s set off directly.”

With that, she stepped forward.

Li Yuanzhuo’s expression was ugly. He stopped Li Kun and stammered, “Sister, I have something important to report to you.”

There was a hint of humility in his words. This was caused by the difference in their cultivation levels. Li Kun was in the warrior realm while he was in the disciple realm.

Although he was the son of the current head of the Li clan, Li Kun, who had broken through to the warrior realm, had already escaped the shackles of the clan. On the other hand, the Li clan needed Li Kun to obtain the protection of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.

Li Kun’s expression was still cold as she said coldly, “What is it? Tell me quickly.”

Not only was Li Yuanzhuo not talented, but he also did not work hard at his cultivation. In addition, he had used her name to cause trouble in the outer sect many times.

Therefore, she did not have a good impression of Li Yuanzhuo. It was only because of her clan that she tolerated Li Yuanzhuo’s actions.

Li Yuanzhuo looked around to make sure that no one was nearby. He leaned close to Li Kun’s ear and whispered, “I was the one who brought the masked man into the library last time.”

Li Kun did not react immediately. After a pause, her eyes widened and she could no longer maintain her cold expression.

She glared fiercely at Li Yuanzhuo, and a murderous aura emanated from her.

Li Yuanzhuo’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained in a low voice, “I was forced to do it. That masked man was interested in the Li clan’s Skyfall Sword Technique. What could I do?”

Li Kun ignored Li Yuanzhuo’s excuses and forced herself to calm down.

What had happened had already happened. The fact that Li Yuanzhuo was still alive and well meant that his actions had not been discovered.

Li Kun asked with a cold expression, “Since you didn’t get exposed, why are you telling me this now?”

The more people knew about the matter, the higher the chance of it being exposed.

Li Yuanzhuo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with a bitter smile, “The masked man is a powerful person who can stand against the Sect Master. I was afraid that you would investigate too seriously, so I had no choice but to tell you about it.”

Then, he added, “I think we should just put on an act on this trip to Jiangnan province. Even if we really find any clues, we have to pretend that we didn’t see anything.”

When Li Kun heard this, she glared at Li Yuanzhuo again.

Li Yuanzhuo had become a traitor and was preparing to drag her down again.

If not for the fact that she was also from the Li clan, she really wanted to kill him on the spot.

Li Yuanzhuo had revealed everything and waited at the side for his sister’s decision.

Li Kun was conflicted. On one hand, she was from the clan, and on the other hand, she was indebted to the sect.

After thinking for a long time, she said coldly, “That is not appropriate. Not only do we have to investigate this matter seriously, but we also have to confirm that we know where the masked man is hiding before reporting it to the sect. We can’t let the masked man have another chance of escaping.”

Li Yuanzhuo broke out in a cold sweat and said anxiously, “But…”

Li Kun looked at Li Yuanzhuo with her beautiful eyes filled with killing intent, causing Li Yuanzhuo to swallow his words.

The perfect solution was to let the sect master kill the masked man. Once he died, the truth would be buried in the past. Other than Li Kun and Li Yuanzhuo, no one else would know the truth.

At the same time, in a secret chamber in the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, Huang Lieyan, the Peak Master of the Heavenly Dipper Peak, came over to bid farewell to Li Daoyi.

Huang Lieyan knelt on one knee and promised, “Sect Master, I will definitely find traces of the masked man on this trip.”

Li Daoyi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and said calmly, “The Kunshan Sect has the greatest grudge against the masked man. You don’t have to rush to the front rashly. Your main focus is to gather information.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After bidding him farewell, Huang Lieyan turned around and left the secret chamber.

When Huang Lieyan arrived at the mountain gate, all the core disciples and inner sect disciples of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect had already arrived.

The group quickly descended the mountain and rushed towards Jiangnan province.
