Chapter 376 -89 Time_2

“Thank you, Headmaster, I must take my leave.”

After speaking, Li Fei turned and left.

Under the night sky, the old man continued to drink alone, facing the moon.

The young man descended the mountain alone.

…

“How are things?”

After returning to his dormitory, Li Fei called Xia Huan to inquire about the situation on his end.

“The case has been reported to Inspector General Qu and the Garrison Commander, and they have agreed to investigate Xu Jing.”

Xia Huan’s voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

After all his hard work and deducing various truths, it finally seemed to have some effect.

“But…”

Xia Huan’s voice hesitated.

“But what?”

A sense of foreboding sank in Li Fei’s heart.

“But Zhang Zongyang’s case has already been closed…”

Xia Huan informed Li Fei about the events of the evening, that Xiao Rui had been captured, and thereafter a spy from the Western Countries was also arrested:

“The higher-ups have already had a meeting and decided to publicly execute all the main culprits of Zhang Zongyang’s case at noon tomorrow, putting them to death by dismemberment…”

Li Fei’s grip on the phone handset tightened, causing a cracking sound as a fissure formed, nearly shattering it.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down:

“Tomorrow… Can you not take Xu Jing away tonight?”

Xia Huan replied, “I can suggest that to Inspector General Qu, and ask him to discuss it with the Garrison Commander.”

Li Fei said gravely, “Please convey to Garrison Commander Bian on my behalf that if he can prevent Xu Jing from showing up at the execution ground tomorrow, I will owe him a favor!”

Given his current Breakthrough speed, which was unprecedented in history, his favor held considerable weight.

“Alright, I will definitely pass on the message!”

Xia Huan promised.

After hanging up the phone, Li Fei fell into deep contemplation in his room.

At this point, he had done everything he could.

The rest… was actually quite simple!

At a certain moment, Li Fei stood up and left his room.

…

May 23, 9 AM.

Datong District, Rongguang Square.

This was a square that spanned over ten thousand square meters, and the Government often selected this location for major events.

Early this morning, the Inspection General Bureau had sealed off the entire square and began to set up the venue, erecting a platform.

The scale of the preparations indicated that something significant was about to happen, which made the surrounding citizens gather to see the excitement.

By 10 AM, two platforms had been erected in the center of Rongguang Square.

One platform was for seating, reserved for various officials.

The one in the center was the Execution Platform, for the dismemberment of criminals.

At this time, the gates of Zhi Ge General Hospital opened as well, and a convoy drove out.

This convoy was escorting the criminals to be executed today.

Within the convoy, the Chief of Zhi Ge General Hospital, two Helmsmen, and a host of certified martial masters were present.

In addition, several Possession Stage Great Mages from the Righteous Law General Institute and a few Tao Foundation Stage Tributors from the Inspection General Office were also in the convoy.

With such a lineup, even a Martial Arts Master could be countered!

Furthermore, to ensure the execution proceeded without any mishaps, several professors and over a dozen special grade lecturers from Wuda were also in the convoy.

Among them was Xu Jing, the Martial Arts Master.

The high-ranking officials from Datong Prefecture and all the officers of the investigative team were likewise in the convoy.

Just as the convoy left Zhi Ge General Hospital by a few hundred meters, it was abruptly stopped.

The obstructing vehicles belonged to the Inspection General Office.

Personnel from the front rows on both sides began negotiating.

Soon, someone reported back to the superiors in the vehicles behind.

“What’s going on?”

From inside a dark-golden ‘Qilin’ car, Yan Shijin asked with a frown.

The official who came to report bent down outside the car window and said:

“Inspector General Yan, it’s the people from the Inspection General Office, they want to take some people from our convoy.”

“Who do they want to take?”

“They want to take Professor Xu Jing from Wuda.”

“What did you say?”

Yan Shijin raised his voice.

Quickly, the officials from the investigative group all got out of their cars, as did the senior officials from Datong Prefecture.

“Garrison Commander Bian, what does this mean?”

Yan Shijin walked up to Bian Jingru and asked very rudely.

Bian Jingru remained composed: “Don’t get upset, Inspector General Yan, let me ask first.”

He then called Qu Xun over and demanded to know, “What is going on with the Inspection General Bureau? Why do they have to take someone away at this time?!”

Qu Xun quickly apologized: “I’m terribly sorry, this was unexpected, I’ve just found out.”

Bian Jingru: “What exactly is going on?”

Qu Xun: “Our Inspection General Bureau has just discovered an important lead related to the spies from the Western Countries, so we need to ask Professor Xu Jing of Wuda to come back to our office to assist with the investigation.”

“Related to the spies from the Western Countries?”

Bian Jingru frowned, “How could a professor from Wuda be involved with the spies from the Western Countries?”

Qu Xun spoke softly, “Inspector General, have you forgotten? Previously at Wuda, there was a special grade lecturer…”

“Oh.”

Bian Jingru showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, then turned around with a troubled look and spoke to Yan Shijin:

“Inspector Yan, you must have heard about the incident with Wuda before. Today, we’re executing a spy from the Western Countries. If Professor Xu Jing truly has ties with the Western spy, do you think… it might be inconvenient to continue to bring him to the site with us?”

Yan Shijin watched Bian Jingru and Qu Xun perform their ‘act’ with a cold gaze.

He had to admit Bian Jingru played his cards very well.

Inviting Xu Jing to the execution site was meant to ensure the safety there.

But if Xu Jing himself was involved with the Western spy, inviting him would put everyone at the site at risk.

Just as Yan Shijin remained silent, a somewhat indolent voice came through:

“Why do I seem to hear someone wants to catch me?”

Everyone turned their heads at once and saw Xu Jing, dressed in white today, walking towards them.

A smile still lingered on his face.

“Professor Xu, it’s not about arresting you, just asking you to return and assist with the investigation,” Qu Xun said politely to Xu Jing.

Facing a Martial Arts Master, especially one known as a ‘murderous fiend,’ even Qu Xun felt some fear.

“What if I say no?” Xu Jing said with a smile.

Bian Jingru looked calm as he regarded Xu Jing:

“Professor Xu, are you openly defying law enforcement?”

“Law enforcement? You have no authority to enforce the law on me.”

Xu Jing spread his hands.

Bian Jingru’s eyes shifted, his tone growing stern:

“What do you mean by that?”

Xu Jing took out a document and a token from his bosom:

“I am now an Honorary Tributor at Feng Province’s Zhi Ge Department. Datong Prefecture has no jurisdiction over me.”

These words startled everyone present.

Because of the many implications they represented!

Bian Jingru was the most composed, staring intently at Xu Jing, he said in a deep voice:

“But you are still a professor at Wuda.”

“Oh, that,” Xu Jing said, revealing a relaxed smile upon hearing this, “I’ve already submitted my resignation today.”

…

Wuda.

Li Fei found the Wu’an guards assigned to him, and then left Wuda in a dark-golden ‘Qilin’ heading towards Glory Square.

As soon as the three cars entered Datong District, people stood blocking the road ahead.

The Wu’an guards inside the vehicle tensed, hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to step out at a moment’s notice.

Li Fei also seemed somewhat tense today.

He touched his chest and asked with a somewhat hoarse voice, “Who is it?”

“It’s someone in monk robes, appears to be a monk,” said the Wu’an guard sitting in the passenger seat.

“A monk?” Li Fei was stunned.

“Amithaba Buddha.”

At that moment, the monk standing in the road clasped his hands and chanted a Buddhist invocation.

His voice clearly penetrated the ‘Qilin’s’ window, entering the car:

“Old Monk Yun Shen from Baoyun Temple, entrusted by someone, asks Master Li Fei to stop, and not to proceed any further today.”

“It’s Master Yun Shen from Baoyun Temple!” exclaimed the Wu’an guards inside the car.

“Master Yun Shen?” Li Fei looked puzzled as if hearing the name for the first time.

“Can we get through?” he asked.

The Wu’an guard in the car turned to him:

“Sorry, our orders were only to ensure your safety. Unless the other party initiates an attack on you, we will not take action against anyone.”

“This…”

Li Fei gritted his teeth, anxiety in his eyes.

Elsewhere, Yun Shen stood in the middle of the street, his gaze deep, his face revealing a trace of sorrow.

Naturally, he was entrusted by Hao Yi to stop Li Fei.

Hao Yi had said to him that night, “My student cannot end up like me!”

So he had entrusted him with this last favor. freёwebnoѵel.com

Yun Shen looked up at the clear sky above.

Without a cloud in sight, the sunlight poured down.

“You always said that this era might become my era.”

“But in reality, my era never came. Even if it truly did, it was only limited to Datong Prefecture; it ended back then.”

These were the words Hao Yi said to Yun Shen before departing that morning.

“I’m going to put an end to the era that stopped back then.”

Hao Yi said so in the end before turning and walking out of Baoyun Temple.

Noon was approaching, and the sunlight was at its brightest.
