By the time these people arrived, Lin Long had already arrived at the south gate.
"Stop him!" Elder Shen shouted from behind Lin Long.
Stop him? Upon hearing these words, the few disciples guarding the southern gate all looked at each other. They did not know why Elder Shen had issued such an order.
With their status, they naturally had to listen to Elder Shen's orders. However, these disciples were guarding the area previously. Knowing that Lin Long had the strength of a level three warrior, they did not dare to rush forward.
"What are you trying to do?" After Elder Shen's urging, they chased after Lin Long.
As for the other elder, he had already arrived at the courtyard where General Jiang and the others were.
"Elder, what's the matter?" General Jiang's men who were guarding the door asked curiously.
"This is the Crown Prince's waist token." The elder quickly took out Xie Cheng's waist token.
"Why do you have the Crown Prince's waist token?" These people were naturally extremely puzzled.
Their gazes immediately focused on the waist token. After looking at it, all of their faces turned ugly. This was because it really represented Xie Cheng's identity.
"One of our academy's disciples said that he killed the Crown Prince," the elder hurriedly said.
"Who is it!" Just as he finished speaking, a person rushed out from inside. It was General Jiang.
As soon as he came out, he immediately took the elder's waist token. After looking at it, his expression immediately became extremely ugly.
This was undoubtedly Xie Cheng's waist token.
"General Jiang, it's our Xing Wu Academy's disciple named Lin Li," the elder hurriedly said.
"Lin Li?" General Jiang repeated these two words.
At this moment, a few people followed him out. One of them hurriedly whispered in his ear, "General Jiang, this Lin Li is the person I met in the Xing Wu Mountain Range that day."
"Is it that person? In that case, he really killed the Crown Prince!" General Jiang's brows furrowed even more.
He immediately looked at the elder in front of him and asked, "Where is he now?"
"He has already run out of our academy's south gate. I don't know if Elder Shen can catch him," the elder replied.
"Then let's hurry up and chase after him!" General Jiang hurriedly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already seven or eight feet away.
Seeing this, the other people from the Four Marquis Residences also hurriedly chased after him. As for the other people from the Xing Wu Academy, they did the same.
The group of people quickly chased after the Crown Prince to the south gate of the Xing Wu Academy. However, apart from a few disciples guarding the south gate, there was no one else.
"Where did Lin Li go?" General Jiang asked in a deep voice.
"He escaped in that direction!" Several people hurriedly pointed to the right side outside and said.
"That way!" A few people hurriedly pointed to the right and said.
This matter naturally, the Supreme Elder was Li's Lin Li's.
This kid, how did he expose the matter so quickly? Such a thought flashed through the Great Elder's mind.
Because of the Fourth Marquis' relationship, he did not dare to remain indifferent at this moment. Thus, he immediately said, "Immediately gather all the elders and teachers. Have them gather in the main hall."
After that, the Supreme Elder immediately, Lin, the Lin Family.
When he arrived at the hall, the elders and teachers of the Xing Wu Academy were almost there.
"Supreme Elder, I heard that our academy's disciple, Lin Li, killed Crown Prince Xie Cheng. Is this true?" Seeing the Supreme Elder walk in, someone immediately asked.
"I only heard about it. I don't know if it's true." The Supreme Elder shook his head.
"Supreme Elder, I heard that Lin Li took out Xie Cheng's waist token and told Elder Shen and Elder Shen. Elder Shen and Elder Shen have already chased after him with General Jiang. Therefore, this matter should be true." Someone immediately said.
"My two disciples were there at that time. They really saw this scene. Therefore, it should be absolutely true." Another person said.
"I heard that Lin Li actually has the strength of a level-three warrior. Therefore, it shouldn't be difficult for him to kill Crown Prince Xie Cheng."
"Mhm." Hearing those words, the supreme elder nodded his head.
"Then what should we do?" An elder immediately asked.
"Now, everyone in the Xing Wu Academy will do their best to capture Lin Li. However, when dealing with him, you can't be too harsh on him. Capture him and clarify the matter first." The Supreme Elder said.
The Fourth Marquis' Mansion was not a force that the Xing Wu Academy could go against. Moreover, Lin Long had personally told others about this matter. Therefore, he could only make this choice.
If he didn't do this, the Xing Wu Academy would be in deep trouble if the Fourth Marquis' Mansion pursued the matter.
After a short pause, the Supreme Elder said again, "Alright, all of you go out now!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, everyone immediately responded in unison. Then, they walked out of the academy to assist General Jiang and the others in chasing after Lin Long.
By the time these people left the academy, the news had basically spread throughout the entire Xing Wu Academy.
"It can't be. Lin Li actually killed Crown Prince Xie Cheng!"
"Why is that?"
"Who knows."
"But, isn't Lin Li very weak? How could he kill Crown Prince Xie Cheng?"
"This is something you don't know. Lin Li actually has the strength of a level-three warrior. Today, he even single-handedly slaughtered the Fan Family!"
"It can't be. That's too exaggerated."
"But, even if he has the strength of a level-three warrior, it's impossible for him to kill someone from the Fan Family so easily!"
…
At this moment, there were four people standing in Yao Xue's room. They were Yao Xue, Tao Qianqing, Guo Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Yaxuan.
"Master, why did Uncle-Master send people from the Xing Wu Academy to deal with Junior Brother Lin?" Zhao Yaxuan asked with a frown.
"Yaxuan, don't blame your Uncle-Master. He had no choice. If he didn't do this, the Fourth Marquis would definitely blame the Xing Wu Academy. By then, the entire Xing Wu Academy would be in trouble," Tao Qianqing said.
Hearing Tao Qianqing's words, Zhao Yaxuan and Guo Xiaoxiao immediately fell silent. After thinking for a while, they knew that Tao Qianqing was right. At this time, their Uncle-Master had no choice at all.
"It's not just our academy that's going to deal with Junior Brother Lin. After hearing the news, other forces in the Xing Wu City will definitely send people to deal with Junior Brother Lin. By then, even if Junior Brother Lin has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to stop these people." Guo Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Master, Uncle-master, what should we do?" Zhao Yaxuan couldn't help but ask.
"What else can we do? We can only follow them and see if we can help him secretly," Tao Qianqing said.
"That's the only way." Yao Xue nodded.
To be honest, they didn't expect Lin Long to do this so suddenly.
However, Lin Long's actions made them fall in love with him. They could tell that Lin Long was doing this for Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Then let's go out," Zhao Yaxuan hurriedly said.
"Okay." Yao Xue and Tao Qianqing nodded.
Soon after, the four of them left and sprinted out of the academy.
When they came outside and observed the situation, their faces naturally turned even uglier. Just as they had expected, all the forces in the city were searching for Lin Long.
"Junior Brother Lin, why are you overestimating yourself? Even if you want to expose yourself, you can't expose yourself so early. Isn't it better to escape far away before revealing this matter?" Zhao Yaxuan couldn't help but feel depressed.
Next, the few of them naturally followed the others and pretended to search for Lin Long.
At this moment, it could be said that the entire city was searching for Lin Long. However, what made them depressed was that Lin Long seemed to have disappeared. They couldn't even see his shadow.
"Elder Shen, weren't you the first to chase after him? Where did he go?" General Jiang called Elder Shen over since he couldn't find Lin Long.
"General Jiang, I'm sorry. Lin Li's speed is too fast. Although I was the first to chase after him, I have no idea where he escaped to," Elder Shen said awkwardly.
"Could it be that he has already left the Xing Wu City?" One of General Jiang's subordinates couldn't help but ask.
"That's indeed possible." The others also nodded their heads.
At this moment, a disciple of the Xing Wu Academy ran over and reported, "Supreme Elder, General Jiang, we found the corpses of Patriarch Fan and his subordinates in the dense forest outside!"
"Patriarch Fan's corpses?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Fan Shenglin wasn't weak, but he was actually killed. How could they not be shocked?
They only thought that Fan Shenglin had just been killed. Who knew that Fan Shenglin was already dead?
"Where is it? Bring us there!" General Jiang's expression turned cold.
"Yes!" The disciple replied and hurriedly led the way.
Not long after, they arrived at the dense forest where Lin Long fought with Fan Shenglin and the rest.
After carefully examining Fan Shenglin's corpse, General Jiang and the rest frowned because they could tell that Fan Shenglin was already dead. He wasn't killed recently. "
"It seems that Lin Li must have killed Patriarch Fan and his subordinates before returning to the academy to expose the news of him killing the Crown Prince," someone said.
"Increase the search!" General Jiang didn't say anything else and directly ordered.
Thereafter, the entire city didn't only search within the Xing Wu City. They also expanded the search area outside the city.
However, they still couldn't find Lin Long's shadow when the sky turned dark.
"Looks like Junior Brother Lin really escaped." This situation made Zhao Yaxuan and the rest heave a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yao Xue couldn't help but ask, "Yaxuan, where's Xiaoxiao?"
The four of them were together when they came out. At this moment, Yao Xue suddenly realized that Guo Xiaoxiao was missing.
"Xiaoxiao went over there just now. She said that she was looking for a junior sister," Zhao Yaxuan said.
"I'll go over and take a look." Zhao Yaxuan felt that something was amiss and hurried over.
Tao Qianqing and Zhao Yaxuan also followed behind her.
At this moment, they were somewhere outside the city. After walking for a while, they saw Guo Xiaoxiao. However, they felt that something was amiss when they saw that Guo Xiaoxiao was surrounded by a group of people.
There were even a few people from the Fourth Marquis' Residence.
Yao Xue hurriedly squeezed her way over, but just when she wanted to get close to Guo Xiaoxiao, she was stopped by the people from the Fourth Marquis' Residence.
"I'm an elder of the Xing Wu Academy, her master," Yao Xue said with an ugly expression.
"I'm sorry, Elder Yao. Guo Xiaoxiao said that she knows something related to the Crown Prince, so you can't get close to her for the time being," one of the people from the Fourth Marquis' Residence said.
"What does she know?" Yao Xue couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either. Guo Xiaoxiao said that we'll talk about it when General Jiang comes," that person said.
Hearing this, Yao Xue and the others felt that something was amiss.
Yao Xue hurriedly looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and shouted. "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to say?"
"Master, I just want to talk to General Jiang about some things. Don't worry," Guo Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile.
Guo Xiaoxiao said that she wasn't worried, but Yao Xue and the others were getting more and more worried. However, they couldn't possibly rush in and snatch Guo Xiaoxiao out. Therefore, they could only wait on the spot.
After a while, a group of people sprinted over. The person in the lead was obviously General Jiang.
The Supreme Elder and a few other elders, as well as General Jiang's other subordinate, followed closely behind General Jiang.
Very quickly, General Jiang arrived in front of them.
"Who knows anything related to the Crown Prince?" General Jiang immediately asked.
"General Jiang, it's this young lady," General Jiang's subordinate pointed at Song Xiaoxiao and said.
"Song Xiaoxiao!" General Jiang's expression couldn't help but stiffen when he followed the subordinate's line of sight.
"Song Xiaoxiao, what do you know? Hurry up and say it!" He then asked.
"This disciple wants to tell the truth of what happened at that time," Guo Xiaoxiao said.
"Could it be that you lied to us before and didn't tell us the truth?" General Jiang's voice couldn't help but turn cold.
After listening to Guo Xiaoxiao's words, he even had a thought that Guo Xiaoxiao might be a suspect in the murder of Xie Cheng.
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. "That day, Crown Prince Xie Cheng asked me to go on a mission with him. Originally, I didn't want to go alone with him, but because I couldn't complete the mission by myself, and I didn't have any companions at the moment, I finally chose to agree …
"But I didn't expect that after coming here, other than Crown Prince Xie Cheng, there were also a few of his subordinates.
"Of course, this isn't the main point. The main point is that after that, Crown Prince Xie Cheng took advantage of my inattentiveness and gave me the Ten Fragrances Ecstasy …"
Before Guo Xiaoxiao could finish her words, General Jiang's subordinate, Huang Ji, shouted, "How is this possible? How could Crown Prince Xie Cheng do such a thing? You are lying!"
"You're lying!" cried the others that day in unison.
"No matter what you say, it is the truth," Guo Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly.
"Miss Guo, what evidence do you have?" General Jiang asked in a deep voice.
At that moment, everyone looked at Guo Xiaoxiao to see if she could produce any evidence.
