Zhiling City was quiet in the rain. To most people, this was a rainy day that was not suitable for travel. But to some people, too many unusual things had happened on this day. The number of body bags used in the inner city on this day was equivalent to that used in the past year.
But the people responsible for all this, Lu Ping and his group, had effortlessly left the inner city gates.
The guards at the gates seemed to be completely unaware of what had happened in the city, and continued to follow their usual strict rules. They did not question Lu Ping's group about to leave the inner city.
"This is not normal," Siffin said.
The Xuan Army Empire was not a lawless and desolate land. Even xiuzhe could not do as they pleased. The three empires were able to rule this continent, so they naturally had to have enough power. It was impossible for such a colossus to fear the strength of Lu Ping and his group, and it was also impossible for them to not discover what they had done in the city. That was why Siffin felt it was very strange. This kind of disregard, unless it was intentional, should not happen.
"Isn't this a good thing? I really don't know what you're upset about! "Morin muttered. As an assassin who often had to escape, this situation was a dream come true. Morin was enjoying it very much, and was not as worried as Siffin.
"I just feel that it's not normal. What do you think, Teacher Chu Min?" Siffin said.
"Mm …" Chu Min answered, and took a big gulp from the wine bottle. Of course, she also felt that this was not normal. Although Zhiling City Lord Draconis was an old acquaintance of hers, she did not feel that he was being lenient. There must be some kind of scheme involved. She, and the four youths in front of her, had unknowingly become pawns in the eyes of some faction. They would not reach out and play with it directly, but they would add fuel to the fire from the side to create the situation they wanted. Even if it did not work out in the end, they would just throw away a few pawns that were already in the game.
Chu Min had this kind of experience before. It was very annoying, but also very helpless. Sometimes, even though he was clear about it, he had no choice but to follow the path that had already been planned out. Her personality was like a toy in this whirlpool.
Therefore … If she were to make the decision, perhaps it would be better for these youths to make the decision themselves. Chu Min thought so, so she didn't make a clear statement.
"From now on, everyone needs to be prepared for anything." She was merely reminding them that it was not yet time to let down their guard.
"Let's find a place to rest first!" Siffin suggested.
No matter who he is. Morin, Su Tang, and Lu Ping were not as relaxed as they appeared. Their injuries were very serious. If they continued to stubbornly persist like this, it would be impossible for them to recover. He would fall sooner or later.
"Someone's here!" Lu Ping, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. His expression became alert. The others only knew of Lu Ping's ability. They knew that he had sensed the existence of the soul power first, and immediately tensed up.
Lu Ping's gaze was already locked on a direction. Straight ahead, on the Kailing River that passed through the city, there was an arch bridge that spanned both sides. To cross the Kailing River from here forward, this bridge was the only way. And at this moment, a figure appeared from the other end of the arch bridge. Bit by bit, it appeared, showing the head, then the shoulders, the upper body, and then the entire body. Finally, it stood in the middle of the bridge.
This person stood in the middle of the bridge with his hands behind his back. His gaze was already on Lu Ping and the others.
"You're slower than I thought. Looks like your injuries are not light," the person said to Lu Ping and the others.
The uniform of the Academy Commission. Someone from the Academy Commission. Naturally, he was an enemy, not a friend. But someone from the Academy Commission actually single-handedly and calmly intercepted the five of them. The strength of almost all the experts from the Academy Commission did not seem to intimidate the other party.
The person's gaze swept across Lu Ping and the others. When his gaze swept across Lu Ping, he frowned slightly. In the end, his gaze locked onto Lu Ping, and his furrowed brows did not relax.
It was exactly as reported. He could not determine his cultivation level at all. Even sensing the soul power was very difficult. It would only leak out in the tiniest of moments. If it was a xiuzhe of a lower cultivation level, they would probably think that Lu Ping was a normal person.
"You are Lu Ping." Ku Qi called out Lu Ping's name.
"I am." Lu Ping said.
"What cultivation level?" Everyone was guessing. He actually asked her directly.
"It's hard to say." Lu Ping said.
"You'll be scared to death if I tell you." Morin added.
"Heaven's Crippling Bloodline." Ku Qi immediately called out Morin's uniqueness.
"At least you know your stuff." The Mo Clan Bloodline that had originally troubled Morin had become his pride after Chu Min's guidance. Especially after his Soul Severing cultivation, he knew that Chu Min's words were not lies. From a certain perspective, the Crippling Bloodline was indeed an advantage.
"Blood Force Child." Ku Qi looked towards Su Tang. "But how much power do you have left?"
Su Tang did not reply. Her injuries were the heaviest, and her forte was the Soul of Strength. Her condition was the worst, and she could be said to have completely lost the ability to fight.
"Duan Scar, an impressive ability." He said to Siffin.
"I don't really want it." Siffin replied.
"And you." Ku Qi looked at Chu Min. "Principal scholar of Amaterasu College, lifelong examiner of the Soul Awakening Assembly."
"That was in the past." Chu Min's response was quite calm, but her heart was far from calm. She'd already guessed the other's identity. He was the only one from the executive committee of the zhiling quadrant who could challenge them single-handedly.
"Ku Qi?"
"Yes." Ku Qi nodded and then sighed.
"They're all geniuses, what a pity." He began to feel genuine regret as his killing intent rippled out.
"Watch out!" Chu Min only had time to call out. She didn't have the time to explain Ku Qi's strength in detail. Even these three words were too slow. Ku Qi had been in the middle of the bridge just a moment ago, but he'd already reached them before she'd finished speaking.
Quick!
After sensing Ku Qi's presence, Lu Ping didn't relax his Listening Soul for even a moment.
He could hear the flow of the power of the spirit. It was everywhere, just like the rain.
What was this?
Lu Ping was surprised. He'd never heard the power of the spirit explode like this in an instant. It was everywhere.
The Ku Qi had already reached them, right in front of them.
The wind picked up.
Chu Min's reaction wasn't slow either, but she'd heard of Ku Qi's abilities.
There was a splash, as if a large basin of water had been splashed onto the ground. The Ku Qi that had just rushed into their midst suddenly disappeared.
The Ku Qi was still standing on the bridge, as if he'd never left.
"Watch out," Chu Min said.
"Watch out for what?" Morin asked hastily.
"Watch out for every drop of rain," Chu Min said.
Level five control ability: Thousand Splendor Water.
