Chapter 989: Chapter 989
With someone as decisive and ruthless as Cheng Jing around, and Dragon Tiger Daoist and Jianzhen standing behind him, results were achieved on the same day.
Because Cheng Jing not only dared to kill, but he was also bold enough to destroy all the research results of the former Dean, cutting off all his sources of funding.
In the secret chamber, Cheng Jing's face was filled with murderous intent.
"There will always be a time when everything is cleaned up."
Dragon Tiger Daoist's spine seemed unable to straighten, because the Dragon Talisman truly originated from Langya Institute.
Moreover, a long time ago, the ancestor of the former Dean's lineage personally did these things.
The Dragon Talisman had always been in the Royal Secret Vault, until a few years ago, when the former Dean achieved merit and was rewarded with the opportunity to personally choose two treasures from the vault.
One of the items he chose was the Dragon Talisman.
Later, he was persuaded to give the Dragon Talisman to the Crown Prince.
After various twists and turns, it implicated no fewer than a dozen people, among them two from Langya's high-ranking officials, and one who should have died at Zhong Shouzheng's hands.
They moved very swiftly and got confessions on the same day.
But when they went to arrest the individuals, one was no longer at Langya Institute, and the other had already taken his own life.
"Do you think it really has something to do with him?" Jianzhen asked, his voice coarse.
"At this point, why deceive ourselves?" Dragon Tiger Daoist was grim: "The matters of the past might not relate to the Emperor Qian at the time, but this time's affairs definitely have something to do with the current Emperor Qian."
Moments later, Chu Ye, who had been in seclusion, appeared in the secret chamber.
Upon hearing the events of these years, Chu Ye's brow was furrowed, and he spoke softly.
"This is a malicious act that destroys the path forward for our entire world.
That was a matter of the past, today, this person, ambitious and driven, naturally would not destroy his own path.
Since you all have investigated to this point, let me share some things as well.
Back then, my dear friend fell in the Wilderness, I found nothing at that time.
But upon returning, while in Langya Bookstore, nostalgia struck, and I saw his works left behind.
Unintentionally, I gained some clues.
Afterward, I took the opportunity to enter seclusion, never involving myself again.
The fire in the bookstore caused substantial loss, and after reviewing the records of loss, my suspicion was further solidified.
My old friend, well-read and knowledgeable, probably inadvertently learned some great secret he shouldn't have known, which led to his demise.
Even to the extent of destroying Langya Bookstore, exposing one's shortcomings, just to achieve annihilation.
The matter of the Black Tapir, the Dragon Clan, and various things here, all relate to demons.
At one point, I also thought it was demons secretly harming my old friend.
To understand, I gave up a step to establish my Dao, opting to enter Dao first.
I traced back to the former An Clan, but in a blink, An Clan was wiped out completely by someone surnamed Wu.
From then on, whenever I gained something, I couldn't grasp even the slightest tail.
I realized that achieving all this could probably be done by only one person.
So I settled into seclusion, no longer pursuing.
The crowd had somber expressions, naturally knowing who Chu Ye referred to.
Dragon Tiger Daoist looked at Chu Ye, his countenance like water, and suddenly the smiling face of Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain appeared in his mind.
At that time, his emotions were unsettled, so he didn't pay attention.
Now hearing Chu Ye seemingly calmly recounting these secrets and considering Qing Ziyu, his heart inexplicably connected the two.
He had little contact with the young man, but the young man never seemed to speak of useless things.
Many matters concerning Jinlan Mountain flowed through his mind.
And then it fixed on a rumor.
It was said within Jinlan Mountain, there was a Great Demon, with high knowledge, some said comparable to Dean Langya.
But later, harmed by villainous people, Jinlan Mountain erupted, eventually settling everything with a pile of deceased Ninth Tier experts.
People paid little attention, not only because the person had died.
It was because Jinlan Mountain seemed to rise instantly, with many incredible people within.
Everyone naturally believed that Jinlan Mountain's strong individuals were previously hidden in retreat, only later forced to reveal themselves.
Even when there were strong individuals, emerging a highly knowledgeable but not powerful demon was not abnormal.
Today seeing Chu Ye, hearing him speak of these secrets, and remembering Qing Ziyu's earlier casual questions.
Dragon Tiger Daoist gave rise to a bold conjecture.
Could this Sheep Demon be related to the walking library from Langya Institute back then?
This hypothesis startled Dragon Tiger Daoist the moment it formed.
And knowledge of this kind truly cannot just be accumulated over time, this method has its limits.
Could it be possession and demon transformation?
Impossible, that person hadn't entered Dao, absolutely couldn't possess.
But thinking of Qing Ziyu's smiling face, and matters related to Jinlan Mountain over these years.
He inexplicably felt this bold guess might not be entirely unfounded.
He actually didn't believe, with that person's means, even without entering Dao, he wouldn't truly have fallen completely.
Combining problems exposed in Langya Institute over the years, along with issues revealed this time.
Dragon Tiger Daoist felt considerable distress; if that person hadn't fallen, could it be he had realized issues within Langya Institute years ago, even connecting to Emperor Qian?
Given this premise, if that person hadn't fallen, he surely wouldn't have returned.
Here, a few chatted for a long time; afterward, Jianzhen and Cheng Jing departed, Dragon Tiger Daoist used the pretext of research inquiries to leave Chu Ye. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
