In the end,'s death was like paper being wrapped in fire.
Two months later, when a few students of the Flowing Cloud Academy and alchemy department were searching for the Devil Core in the Tian Yin Mountain Range, they discovered the cave where Gu Yang once lived.
When they entered the cave, they found Gu Yang's tombstone. After that, they reported the news of Gu Yang's death to Flowing Cloud Academy.
The first to learn of this was the Alchemist Department's Elder, Ge Hong. As a Grade Three Alchemist, Ge Hong naturally knew of Gu Yang's position and importance in the Tianxuan Empire. Hence, he immediately ordered the few students to not spread this information, otherwise they would have been expelled.
How could those few Alchemy students dare to say anything else?
Elder Ge Hong reported this matter to the Elder Pavilion of the Academy. The Chief Elder of the Elder Pavilion, Wu Zun, furrowed his brows.
”Master Gu Yang had long since reached the cultivation of a six star Martial King three years ago. Currently, his strength should be at least eight star, how many people in the Tianxuan Empire can easily kill him without making the slightest of movements?” In the conference room of the Flowing Cloud Academy Elder Pavilion, Wu Zun said in deep thoughts.
”It's impossible for an expert from the Tianxuan Empire to harm the Master Gu Yang. After all, he's from the Fourth Grade Pill Refining Master, could it be that an expert from the Zi Yun Empire infiltrated our Tianxuan Empire?” An elder guessed.
”It's very possible that the Purple Cloud Empire has always been eyeing our Tianxuan Empire covetously, and since the Master Gu Yang is a Fourth Grade Pill Refining Master, it is what they are afraid of. Now that the Master Gu Yang is dead and has lost its ability to summon others, the Purple Cloud Empire will definitely attack our Tianxuan Empire someday.” The hypothesis of the other elder was also logical.
They were all pointing their spears at the Empire of Zi Yun. In their opinion, only the Zi Yun Empire would dare act against the Master Gu Yang.
”I think things are not that simple.” Yang Fann spoke up.
”Oh?” Yang Fann, then what do you think? ” Wu Zun replied.
You must know, if they took the opportunity to attack our Tianxuan Empire after killing the Master Gu Yang, wouldn't that mean that the people of the world would know that the culprit who killed the Master Gu Yang was none other than their Zi Yun Empire? Are they not afraid of the revenge from Master Gu Yang's friends? ”
After Yang Fann finished speaking, his expression slightly straightened, and said with a heavy tone: ”A while ago, I discovered a group of suspicious people. If I'm not mistaken, they should be people from the Soul Devouring Hall!”
”Soul Devouring Hall?” When the elders heard this, they were all shocked.
”Yang Fann, don't even think about making wild guesses. It's impossible for people from the Soul Devouring Hall to appear in a place like ours. I think this must be done by the Zi Yun Empire. ” Wu Zun frowned, denying his conclusion.
”I was only guessing. After all, I'm not familiar with it either.” Yang Fann quickly analyzed.
”Alright, I will report this matter to the empire. You all can leave now, remember the news of Master Gu Yang's death well, otherwise, it will bring disaster to our empire.” After Wu Zun finished, he looked at Yang Fann and said, ”Yang Fann, you stay.”
When everyone had left, Wu Zun asked seriously: ”Are you sure you saw someone from the Soul Devouring Hall?”
”That day, I was also present. The Black-Cloaked Man that killed Feng Luoyang was undoubtedly one of the people using the Soul Devouring Hall, because they used the Art of Soulreaper.” As Yang Fann recalled the scene from that day, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
When Feng Ge returned to the Heavenly Peak City and encountered the Black-Cloaked Man s, Yang Fann had been hiding in secret the entire time. He wanted to kill Feng Luoyang with his Soul Devouring Hall and seize the Dragon Soul Jade on Feng Ge's body as well as the mysterious expert's appearance.
”If it's really Soul Devouring Hall, then the empire doesn't face any danger, but, who is that mysterious expert?” Wu Zun frowned and continued to ask: ”Now we can confirm that the Heavenly Peak City is the Feng Clan descendant of the Martial Continent, then, Feng Ge is the descendant of the Feng Clan bloodline, no wonder his talent in cultivation is so high!”
”Elder, the Soul Devouring Hall has already targeted Feng Ge, which is very disadvantageous for our academy. I think, should we tell this matter to the Principal?” Yang Fann suggested.
After all, this was an academy, and such a huge matter had to be reported to the dean for his decision.
”If this matter were to be reported to the courtyard, then there will only be two options waiting for Feng Ge.” Wu Zun said in silence.
”But, once Feng Ge is expelled from the academy, he will definitely die.” Yang Fann said solemnly.
”You also think that the Principal would expel Feng Ge from the academy?” Wu Zun asked.
”The dean won't let the academy get involved in this mess.” Yang Fann nodded.
