Chen Jiu stared fixedly at Yu Ji. After he finished asking the question, Yu Ji's breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, and even the minute changes in his skin pores were all captured by him without the slightest error. When Yu Ji repeated the words "There's a mechanism in the ice mountain?" with a blank expression, Chen Jiu's face flashed with extreme disappointment.
"How is it?" Ruan Qingzhu didn't look at Yu Ji, only at Chen Jiu.
"Unfortunately, he probably doesn't know." Chen Jiu said.
"He's one of the four great generals of the Lin Family." Morin interrupted from the side.
"I can only express my deep regret about this." Chen Jiu said.
Yu Ji was silent, but his heart wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface. As one of the four great generals of the Lin Family, apart from the fact that they didn't have the blood of the Lin Family running through their veins and couldn't use the Lin Family's unique bloodline ability, Traceless Mirror, the four of them didn't feel any difference from the real Lin Family. They knew everything about the Lin Family. In fact, they even knew more than the real descendants of the Lin Family. For example, they knew about the secret camp hidden in the Boundary River far before Lin Tianbiao did.
The Lin Family trusted the four of them unreservedly, at least they always thought so. But now … …
Was there a mechanism hidden in the ice mountain of the Boundary River?
This was the first time Yu Ji, who had come back and forth countless times, had heard of it. Seeing the other party's serious appearance in discussion, this shouldn't be some interrogation technique, but something that really existed.
So the Family Head's trust in them still had a limit?
Thinking of this, Yu Ji couldn't help but look at the ice mountain in the distance.
Lin Baiying was still standing there. Although he was quite far from the battlefield, he could clearly see every movement of Lu Ping and the others.
Ruan Qingzhu, Chen Jiu, and Huo Ying, the former head disciple and current academician. Although he hadn't had direct contact with these three, he understood them more thoroughly than most people in the North Style Academy. Instigating the three academies to attack North Style Academy on the day of the Seven Star Trial was his own plan. This plan was so large that it wasn't as simple as knocking on a date and persuading a group of people to work. Just arranging for Chen Chu to enter the North Style Academy and finally sit on the position of Alioth Peak's first disciple, who knows how many years of painstaking effort.
During this long process, he had been gathering information about the North Style Academy and the other three great academies. In terms of comprehensive understanding of the four great academies, there weren't many people in the entire continent who were stronger than him.
Therefore, when she saw Ruan Qingzhu, Chen Jiu, and Huo Ying appear one after another, Lin Baiying was already fully prepared for their defeat, even though there were only three of them. The Four Great Academies had always been the symbol of the top of the cultivation world. Otherwise, why would Lin Baiying provoke them to fight each other? Because ever since the Dark Academy was expelled, the only one who could pose a threat to the four academies was themselves. Although the Three Great Empires and the Bloodline Families had grown stronger in recent years, the Four Great Academies' thousand-year heritage was far from being ignored. Even though the four academies had suffered heavy losses in the battle at the Big Dipper Seven Stars Valley, when they joined forces, they were still a force that no one in the world could shake.
The North Style Academy's three academician level experts had already caused the elites led by his two famed generals to return in defeat. And the enemy's main force had already left the Wild Goose Pass. Lin Baiying had already received information about this. Now that Ruan Qingzhu, Chen Jiu, and Huo Ying had already scouted this place, the main force of the four great academies would probably arrive soon.
Lin Baiying was very clear what kind of opponent they were about to face, but his expression was not the slightest bit panicked. His gaze was still paying attention to Lu Ping.
"How is it?" A voice suddenly sounded beside him. On the peak of the icy peak where the wind and snow intersected, there was suddenly another figure standing beside Lin Baiying. Lin Baiying paid attention to Lu Ping's gaze. Ruan Qingzhu, Chen Jiu, and Huo Ying, these experts could all feel it. They would occasionally glance at Lin Baiying who was standing on the peak, but they did not notice this figure that suddenly appeared.
"Not good." Lin Baiying's answer to this question was very simple.
"You should have gotten rid of him long ago," the figure in the wind and snow said.
"In more than a hundred years, this is the only successful test subject," Lin Baiying said.
"But you lost control of him," the figure said.
"I underestimated him too much. I didn't think that this brat, who was like a blank piece of paper, would naturally grow to such an extent." Lin Baiying sighed.
"What about now?" the figure asked.
"There's still a chance." As Lin Baiying spoke, he reached into his robes. After a while, he took out an extremely small square box and handed it to the side.
"Yu Ji's?" the figure asked.
"Yes." Lin Baiying nodded.
The figure raised his hand and received the small square box. His fingers exerted a bit of force, and a crack appeared on the small square box. A wisp of soul power drilled out from the box like smoke, directly towards that figure.
The figure moved slightly, and a gaze that seemed to be real shot out from the blurry image of him mixed with the wind and snow.
"Be careful!"
Several li away, Mo Lin suddenly let out a loud shout. Chen Jiu, who was closely observing the changes in Yu Ji's body, did not sense anything. Instead, when Lu Ping heard Morin's shout, even though his body was incredibly weak, he still instinctively used Soul Listening. He immediately heard the sound of soul power. It came from Yu Ji, but it also seemed … … not Yu Ji.
Yu Ji, who had been heavily injured and had lost his fighting prowess, suddenly shot forward like an arrow toward Lu Ping, who wasn't far from him.
Even with Morin's warning, neither Ruan Qingzhu nor Huo Ying, nor even Chen Jiu, who had been paying attention to Yu Ji, had expected the danger to come from the half-dead Yu Ji. In fact, after Morin's warning, Chen Jiu, who had been paying attention to Yu Ji, turned his attention elsewhere, thinking that there was some kind of attack coming from outside.
Yu Ji dashed forward like an arrow. The three academicians, who were close to him, couldn't stop him in time. Lu Ping noticed it, but he couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly as Yu Ji's eyes turned red and he bared his white teeth. Yu Ji dashed toward him like a ferocious beast.
And moved with the wind!
Fortunately, there was still Morin. Although he was the weakest, he was the first to sense the abnormality. Since he didn't have a Force Soul, he used this ability to knock himself into Yu Ji, who was charging at him.
Bang!
The two of them collided heavily with each other. Molin, who was weaker than Yu Ji, was immediately thrown far away. Yu Ji's momentum finally slowed down. In that instant, the three academicians had already reacted. Yu Ji did not have a chance to continue his attack. In the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground, completely dead.
"What's going on?" Ruan Qingzhu was surprised. Chen Jiu had already bent down to check on Yu Ji's body, but Huo Ying looked at Morin, who had been knocked away. At the same time, she looked at Lu Ping and shouted, "Morin!" But soon, she heard a cry from the snow pit.
Lu Ping let out a long sigh of relief, but Huo Ying's expression changed slightly. After Chen Jiu briefly examined Yu Ji's body, his expression changed even more.
"Bionic type?" His tone was full of disbelief, and at the same time, he quickly swept a circle around. None of the frightened youths escaped his eyes, but among them, he did not find the target he needed.
Could it be there?
Chen Jiu raised his head and looked at the peak of the distant ice peak. Lin Baiying, who had been standing there for a long time, had left.
