Chapter 62: Step Six
Step 6?!
Everyone was shocked. Di Yijian turned pale and looked at the headmaster in doubt.
Wu Jiutian said solemnly:
"Your Highness, this time the demon tribe has taken great pains to plan a series of actions. In fact, the target is not you, but the treasure of the secret realm of the academy!"
Secret treasure?!
Everyone couldn't help but realize that the demon clan had made such a big fuss this time, which was indeed an exaggeration just to assassinate a vassal king.
But if the demons are after the treasures treasured by Haotian Academy, then that makes sense.
In the world of cultivation, two sects might even fight to the death for thousands of years in order to seize a magical weapon or a secret manual.
If the demons set their eyes on the treasure of Haotian Academy, they would naturally do whatever it takes to get it.
"After the explosion and assassination in the secret area, the scene was in chaos.
However, someone took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave the barrier and sneak into the secret area, trying to steal the treasure in the secret room."
Wu Jiutian thankfully said, "Fortunately our elders discovered it in time and prevented the intruder from succeeding. They also shot the intruder dead on the spot."
...
...
"Killed the intruder?!"
Di Yijian couldn't hide the panic and shock in his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Di Yijian hurriedly shouted,
"That doesn't prove that Chen Ke is innocent!"
Chen Ke couldn't help but shake his head. This idiot is still biting me.
He said helplessly: "Di Yijian, I don't know why you want to assassinate the King of Shu, but I can tell you clearly that you are being used!"
"You're talking nonsense. It was obviously you and your accomplices who assassinated the King of Shu!" Di Yijian said angrily.
Chen Ke was too lazy to beat around the bush and stared at Di Yijian:
"Do you think I don't know that you, Shan Rou, Pan Yunmeng, and the two students from the martial arts academy are secretly practicing the three techniques of the Ghost King in order to secretly draw a map of the academy?"
Di Yijian's face turned pale and bloodless in an instant, as if he had been whipped hard.
He stared with frightened eyes and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The "Three Techniques of the Ghost King" that Chen Ke uttered were like a heavy hammer, hitting him hard in the heart.
Liu Zimeng couldn't help but be moved, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ke, what are the three skills of the Ghost King?!"
Without his instructions, Ding San whispered a few words to the people around him, and the latter immediately took his men to capture Shan Rou and others.
Seeing everyone looking at him solemnly, Chen Ke explained,
"The so-called three skills of the Ghost King are the Ghost King's Mapping Skill, the Ghost King's Surveying Skill, and the Ghost King's Escape Skill.
Di Yijian and his team were able to survey and record the topography of the academy by relying on the three skills of the Ghost King."
Chen Ke sighed inwardly. Without the help of the mouse, he would not be able to notice all this, let alone connect all of this together.
Of course, this is not something to be proud of. Like everyone else, he is just a wise man after the event.
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Di Yijian's voice was trembling and distorted.
Chen Ke simply took a step closer:
"I also know that there is a spy from the demon clan lurking in the cafeteria of the academy. The explosion was caused by him. Do you need me to tell you the name of that person?"
Di Yijian's face turned pale, and he shook his head instinctively, saying in panic: "No, no, absolutely not!"
Chen Ke said calmly: "So you admit that you are a spy of the demon clan?"
It seemed as if in an instant, all of Di Yijian's energy was drained away, and his head drooped.
When he raised his head again, his face was already covered in tears.
Suddenly, he glared at Xia Yunchang, the King of Shu, and said through gritted teeth,
"Xia Yunchang, do you still remember Wu Xiuzhu, the daughter of the magistrate of Fanyang, who was tortured to death by you?!"
The King of Shu was stunned and said, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"You know, you know!"
Di Yijian cried hysterically, "It's because Magistrate Wu wanted to expose you that you not only killed his entire family, but also ruined Xiuzhu, my fiancée!"
Pan Yunmeng, who was brought in by the warriors of Hidden Dragon Pavilion, walked forward proudly.
She looked at the King of Shu coldly:
"Xia Yunchang, although my Pan family is the largest grain merchant in Yunzhou, we have never done anything that harms the world.
You should never force my father to dig up the river bank, leaving 300,000 people dead without a burial place!"
Tears flowed from Pan Yunmeng's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said,
"If I fail to kill you this time, I will never let you go even if I become a ghost. Neither will the souls of the 300,000 people who died tragically!"
A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, Pan Yunmeng's eyes lost their luster, and he fell limply to the ground.
"Yunmeng!"
Di Yijian knelt down beside the corpse, crying bitterly, and crushed the poison pill hidden in his teeth.
"Stop them!" Wu Jiutian's expression was moved and he shouted hurriedly.
However, it was too late. Shan Rou, one of the three girls in the special class, sneered and had already bitten the poison pill.
The other two martial arts students also glared at Xia Yunchang, with black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, and fell softly to the ground.
Five lives were lost right in front of everyone's eyes.
Wu Jiutian and everyone else in the academy all looked sad and turned their heads away reluctantly.
Chen Ke stared at the five bodies on the ground, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
These people chose to commit suicide by taking poison, and died so easily, but why did they have to go to this extent?
Even if you want revenge, you shouldn't do it like this.
Is it worth it?
Xia Yunchang, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly sneered,
"Good for you! These traitors are full of nonsense and colluded with the demons to assassinate me. Good for you!"
Full of nonsense?!
Chen Ke looked at Xia Yunchang fiercely, with endless coldness flashing in his eyes.
For the first time, he felt that there was someone in this world who deserved to die so badly.
It would have been great if he had not stopped Xia Yunchang when he tried to grab the booklet.
Blow this bastard to death.
Liu Zimeng dodged, blocked Chen Ke's hateful sight, and gave Chen Ke a warning look.
Although Chen Ke was usually lazy and idle in the academy, Liu Zimeng knew very well that Chen Ke was angry.
Without this fire, he would not have bitten off half of Doctor Liu's ear.
Without this fire, he would not have been willing to break his arm before pulling down the gate.
Without this fire, he would not have been so reckless and unabashed in expressing his anger towards the King of Shu.
However, no matter how angry or sympathetic they are, they cannot ignore the crimes committed by Di Yijian and others, and they cannot direct their hatred towards a member of the royal family.
Di Yijian and his gang colluded with the demon clan, wreaked havoc in the academy, and assassinated the King of Shu. Any one of these crimes is punishable by death.
I guess they didn't want to implicate their families, so they chose to commit suicide.
From this we can also see that they had long since disregarded their own life and death, which is why they died so decisively.
Chen Ke squatted in front of Di Yijian's body, sighed softly, and gently closed Di Yijian's eyes.
King Xia Yunchang of Shu looked down at Chen Ke and asked coldly,
"Chen Ke, who are the accomplices of this traitor in the academy?"
