"City Lord." On the observation platform, the City Lord of Zhiling City, Draconis's personal guard, Song Hua, hurried back to Draconis's side. His expression was just as surprised as the examiners and students on the platform.
"Speak." Draconis had more or less foreseen this, but he still wanted to hear Song Hua's report personally.
"Chief Inspector Zong Zhenghao, Second Commander Lin Chao, Fourth Commander Matsuoka, Sixth Commander Senhai, Eighth Commander Lu Zhengyao …" The string of names caused Song Hua to stop and swallow. He paid attention to the City Lord's expression and found that Draconis, who rarely showed his emotions, had his eyelids twitch a few times when he heard this string of names.
Song Hua fiercely swallowed his saliva and then reported the report he had just received, "All dead."
He had more or less expected this result when he saw Lu Ping and the others return. But hearing it with his own ears, even though he was mentally prepared, he still could not hide his shock.
"Cause of death." Draconis asked. How could these youths take care of so many opponents who were so much stronger than them? The cause of death would be the most convincing explanation.
"This … needs further confirmation." Song Hua said. There was too little time. Draconis had asked him to confirm the situation after he saw Lu Ping and the others return. Before this, they had only seen the battle below the platform from the observation platform. They did not know what happened after Lu Ping and the others escaped.
Not getting a satisfactory answer from his subordinate, Draconis's gaze turned to his left, to a person who was sitting on the same level as him.
The third young master of the Liang family, Liang Zheng.
Although he did not hold any actual position, just based on his status as the third young master of the Liang family, the eleven city lords of the Xuan Jun Empire would probably be very willing to sit with him.
At this time, Draconis tilted his head and looked at Liang Zheng, but did not speak.
Liang Zheng did not look sideways. After sitting for a while, he seemed to sense something and smiled bitterly.
"I will not speak again. Are you going to use your 'Eye of Command' on me? "Liang Zheng looked at Draconis. Draconis did not speak, but he spoke first.
Draconis's eyes seemed to glow, but when Liang Zheng turned his head and spoke. He disappeared immediately.
He still did not speak, but Liang Zheng continued with a bitter smile, "The only people I sent are Lu Ping.
The four students from the Zhai Feng Academy were all extraordinary in the eyes of everyone else. However, in the eyes of the Liang Family's Third Young Master, However, with the third young master of the Liang family, he was most curious and expectant about Lu Ping. Although he valued the others, but with limited manpower, he could only prioritize Lu Ping.
Draconis did not speak. He was waiting for Liang Zheng to continue.
"Lu Ping and Su Tang are together. Their opponent is Zong Zhenghao." Liang Zheng said.
"Su Tang did not attack, so it is only Lu Ping."
"The soul of Ming, killed Zong Zhenghao with one punch." Liang Zheng said.
This was the cause of death that Draconis wanted to know. It was that simple. Zong Zhenghao, who had three spirits connected, and one of them was the soul of Ming, was killed by Lu Ping with one punch using the soul power that he should be very familiar with.
"What superpower?" Long Xing couldn't help but ask. Based on what he could think of, none of the abilities that could defeat Zong Zhenghao with a single punch was enough to defeat Zong Zhenghao.
"What superpower? I want to know too! "Liang Zheng smiled bitterly. He still did not know anything about Lu Ping. There was no way to determine a cultivator's strength based on their external performance. The way they used their soul power was the most important. But with Lu Ping's soul power, neither he nor his spies could obtain complete information.
Lu Ping had exceeded their expectations again and again. He had killed a cultivator with three linked physical and spiritual bodies with a single punch. What kind of concept was this?
Liang Zheng's curiosity about Lu Ping grew. But at the moment, whether or not he could continue his curiosity depended on the reaction of the person next to him.
Although the council was not directly under the jurisdiction of the mayor, but in the inner city of Zhi Ling, the council went from chief inspector to chief inspector. The commander had been killed to the point where almost his entire army had been annihilated. This was no longer just a matter of the Academy Commission. This was practically a challenge to the authority of the entire Xuan Army Empire. This was something that Long Xing, as the City Lord, could not ignore.
But first of all, this matter was a blow to the Academy Supervisory Commission, and this would not make Liang Zheng feel very sad.
The council was established by the Qin family. From the current chief to the second young master of the Qin family, Qin Qi, no one knew how much power the Qin family had in the council.
The council seemed to be just a department that supervised the academies, but the academies were an important source of talent for the empire. Through the council, they could further control the academies of the Xuan Army Empire. Wouldn't that mean controlling the future of the empire?
To conspiracy theorists, the Qin family's push for the council was a farsighted plan. Although there was no concrete evidence at the moment, the other three families who also controlled the important lifelines of the Xuan Army Empire would not place their hopes on the Qin family's character. Even if the head of the Qin family who had first established the council had good intentions of consolidating the empire's rule, who knew which generation of successors would discover the council's use? This kind of special department that wasn't under the jurisdiction of a district could easily be turned into an independent kingdom. Even if it wasn't intentional, as time went on, it would naturally develop in this direction due to the natural tendency of "nepotism".
As a member of the Liang family, Liang Zheng was very happy to see someone make things difficult for the council. However, in recent years, there had been a lot of feigned subservient knives in court. It had been a long time since he'd seen this kind of violent resistance from the academies. Even more delightful was that the intensity of the resistance this time was beyond imagination. The council of the Zhiling district had almost been completely exterminated.
When he thought of this, Liang Zheng was a bit excited. A smile almost reached his face and he managed to steady himself with great difficulty.
"What do you plan to do?" Liang Zheng asked Draconis seriously.
Draconis glanced at Liang Zheng.
This question had no substance and was no different from nonsense. It was obvious what to do. Of course, it was to mobilize the inner city guards to surround and kill Lu Ping and his group of murderers. What to do? Was there a second answer?
But Liang Zheng just had to ask seriously. Was there any other choice?
So Draconis looked at Liang Zheng and fell silent again. Liang Zheng was also very steady this time. He looked up at the sky and said abruptly, "What a heavy rain. There aren't many people on the streets."
It was a very ordinary sigh, but the meaning behind it could be understood by anyone with a bit of brains.
