Chapter 174: Murderer’s Identity (First Update)

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Murderer’s Identity (First Update)After dealing with everything, Ling Chen finally turned to the bewildered Ling Wu and Wan Er and smiled, "Shall we go?" Li Ze’s corpse did not require his attention; someone from the Academic Palace would handle it and identify the murderer. How could the True Martial Academy not thoroughly investigate someone who dares to assassinate a core student in broad daylight? Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Ah?" Only then did the two women recover from their shock, nodding dumbly while their beautiful eyes still held traces of disbelief. They couldn’t fathom Li Ze’s true cultivation level, only knowing he was exceedingly powerful. Yet, he still died at the hands of Ling Chen. Soon, the three of them arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. They ordered a private room and before the food arrived, the door to the room burst open with a loud "bang." "Are you all okay?" Two figures rushed into the private room, staring at Ling Chen and his companions with anxious expressions. Seeing that the trio’s clothing was neat and their complexions rosy, not bearing any signs of injury, the two figures finally breathed a sigh of relief. "We’re fine." Ling Chen turned to the newcomers with a smile and said, "Palace Master, Vice Palace Master, please have a seat!" Indeed, these two were Palace Master Mo Han and Vice Palace Master Wu of the True Martial Academy. They had rushed over after receiving a message from Wan Er and Ling Wu. However, when they arrived at the scene of the incident, they only found two halves of a corpse. Since the Primordial Pill from the corpse was removed, they couldn’t sense the cultivator’s presence. They had just received the news and hurried over to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. After all, the trio from the True Martial Academy were individuals under key protection. Not only was Ling Chen a Spiritual Power Practitioner mastering the Heavenly Spirit Technique, but he was also a mid-grade high-level Divine Thought Master. Ling Wu was the possessor of the Ice and Fire Saint Body. Wan Er possessed the super Spiritual Body of the Wind Spirit Body. Any mishap involving any of them would be a tremendous loss for the True Martial Academy! Especially at the critical juncture with the combat tournament of the Eight Palaces approaching. "Humph, I must find out the identity of this person and uncover the mastermind behind it, to see who dares to harm the students of the True Martial Academy within the boundaries of Zhenwu Prefecture City," declared Palace Master Mo Han, his face full of murderous intent. He grabbed a wine glass and crushed it into powder with a sharp squeeze. "By the way, the person who made a move on you, what was his cultivation level, have you seen him before?" Mo Han restrained his killing intent and looked at Ling Chen and his companions. Now that they were out of danger, it was crucial to find out who the murderer was to prevent such incidents from happening again. "We’ve never seen him." Ling Chen shook his head and said, "That person’s cultivation at least reached the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm!" He could sense Li Ze’s cultivation but found it inconvenient to mention more, otherwise, it would lead to endless questioning. "Primordial Pill Realm second level?" Both Mo Han and Vice Palace Master Wu’s expressions turned solemn. Such a cultivator generally mastered low-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques. Although Ling Chen also mastered a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, his spiritual power was relatively weaker, and he might not be a match for that person. "How did you manage to kill him?" Mo Han asked. Ling Chen smiled at Mo Han and said, "I cunningly used the weapon you bestowed upon me to kill him." The weapon he mentioned, in Mo Han’s ears, naturally referred to the mid-grade Telekinesis weapon. But in the ears of Ling Wu and Wan Er, they thought he meant the second low-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword. "Oh." Mo Han and Vice Palace Master Wu exchanged glances. With Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis, initiating a surprise attack using a mid-grade Telekinesis weapon, there was indeed a significant possibility of killing a cultivator at the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm. "By the way, did you take the Primordial Pill from that person’s Dantian?" Mo Han asked again. Having the Primordial Pill, they could determine the cultivator’s level. This would help narrow down the scope of their investigation. Ling Chen quickly shook his head: "I don’t know." He certainly wouldn’t admit it. And after arriving at the Drunken Fairy Tower, he had explained things to Ling Wu and Wan Er. Ling Wu was Ling Chen’s maid and naturally followed orders. And Wan Er, having received guidance from Ling Chen, would not betray him. "It seems that some fellow has deftly stolen it." Mo Han said, "But don’t worry, I will give you all a satisfactory explanation!" When he arrived at the crime scene, there was only a corpse and no one else. He glanced again at the three people and smiled, "I haven’t come here for a long time, let’s have a meal together." After eating and drinking their fill, the five of them left together. The cost, naturally, was borne by Mo Han. Upon returning to the Academy, Mo Han solemnly warned: "During this time, you all should not go out." Since someone dared to assassinate his students in True Martial Prefecture, without investigating the truth, they naturally couldn’t let Ling Chen and the others take risks again. "Understood." Ling Chen and the others nodded firmly. After the five of them separated, Mo Han and Vice Palace Master Wu went together to a secret room to verify the identity of the deceased. "Hm?" Mo Han suddenly noticed something different about the skin on the deceased’s neck. With a pinch and then a tug, he actually pulled off a human skin mask. Following that, a familiar face appeared in front of the two people. "Li Ze?!" Mo Han and the other were greatly shocked. They never expected that the person who acted against Ling Chen and the others was the Vice Palace Master of Tianluo Academy! "Bang!" Mo Han slapped the stone table, his eyes revealing fierce murderous intent: "Well done, Li Ze, well done, Tianluo Academy, such shameless acts against our core students!" Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Vice Palace Master of the Eight Great Academies’ Tianluo Academy would attack his student! It took quite a while for Mo Han to calm his raging fury. "We must report this to the Palace Master!" Mo Han said coldly. Concerning an issue between two major academies, as a palace master himself, he couldn’t directly confront Tianluo Academy. Only the Palace Master could possibly resolve this matter. "Wait!" Vice Palace Master Wu spoke. "What is it?" Mo Han’s gaze turned cold. Vice Palace Master Wu said, "Palace Master, calm down first. This Li Ze is in the late third stage of the Primordial Pill Realm and he possesses a Water Spirit Body. Do you think, with Ling Chen’s abilities, he could have slain him?" A Water Spirit Body in the late third stage of the Primordial Pill Realm was not much inferior to the fourth stage! With Ling Chen just in the ninth stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, even if he wielded low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique and possessed a medium-grade Telekinesis weapon, could he really have killed Li Ze? Even they themselves did not believe such a claim. If they went accusing Tianluo Academy like this, they might end up being counter-accused of killing Li Ze themselves and deliberately framing Li Ze for their own student’s murder. Upon hearing this, Mo Han fell silent. And slowly calmed down. "Palace Master, it seems Ling Chen might not have told us the whole truth!" Vice Palace Master Wu said. Ling Chen claimed he killed Li Ze with a medium-grade Telekinesis weapon. But could someone at the later stages of Solid Realm, even with the help if a medium-grade Telekinesis weapon, really kill a powerhouse in the late fourth stage of the Primordial Pill Realm? "Palace Master, I think we should ask Ling Chen some questions first to clear up the facts!" Vice Palace Master Wu said. "This is sensible, we shouldn’t delay, let’s go now!" Palace Master Mo Han nodded. The two immediately rushed to Ling Chen’s residence! Ling Chen was in his room examining Li Ze’s storage ring when he heard a knock on the door. "Coming!" He quickly gathered up the scattered treasures before opening the door.
