The King of Special Warfare Chapter 113

Xu Yunzong had died in the battle.

The Flames of War was almost removed from the Sky Academy.

Since the matter had gone this far, the Actual Combat Lesson definitely stopped halfway.

After the corpses and the injured were carried away, Zhuang Huayang announced the dissolution of the formation and sent Li Tianlan back to the dormitory personally.

It was not because he was afraid that Gu Yunxia and others would attack Li Tianlan. The reason why he did so was completely that he was expressing his att.i.tude to the whole academy.

Li Tianlan’s face became paler and paler, but his breath had completely stabilized after restraining his murderous intent. The benefit that the set of immortality potion had brought him was almost inconceivable. When the injury started to break out in his body, the vitality locked by the drug of Longevity Lock in his body began to break through the blockade overwhelmingly and quickly repaired his injury. After the fierce fighting, although his injury couldn’t be healed, it was basically cured. He should have recuperated for a month, but now it seemed to take at most one week for him to completely recover. Even Li Tianlan himself was stunned by such an effect.

The glorious supreme treasure of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was just like their unique technique, whose effect was incredible.

In contrast, w.a.n.g Yuetong’s state was the worst. She tried her best to promote a whole big realm from the peak of the Ice-condensing Realm. Although this process was very short, her consumption was inconceivable. The so-called potential consumption was temporarily unpredictable, but the consumption of her physical strength and spirit were extremely obvious. As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she put her arm around Li Tianlan’s waist, murmured that she was sleepy, and then closed her eyes directly behind Li Tianlan.

Except feeling funny, Li Tianlan felt distressed only. He was able to borrow the power of the Ice-condensing Realm or even the Fire-flaming Realm in the Qi-controlling Realm because he had been to that realm before.

However, w.a.n.g Yuetong had never re-cultivated. Her promotion was entirely dependent on the battle strength that should not have belonged to her. In this way, the price to be paid was even more than that of Li Tianlan. Now, w.a.n.g Yuetong was almost half asleep in semi-coma. No one knew how long she would rest.

He carefully carried w.a.n.g Yuetong in his arms and walked into the bedroom. He put her body on the bed and carefully covered the quilt on her.

After w.a.n.g Yuetong was out of the arms of Li Tianlan, she seemed to move anxiously for a while with her small hands subconsciously grasped the quilt and then she slowly quieted down.

Appreciating the little princess’s quiet and elegant sleeping posture, Li Tianlan’s heart overflowed with tenderness. He bowed his head to kiss w.a.n.g Yuetong gently on the face. Then he stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Li Baitian was standing beside Zhuang Huayang, bragging with a look of delight. Li Tianlan did not know what he had said before. When Li Tianlan came out, Li Baitian had already said halfway, “I was just beside Tianlan at that time. Princ.i.p.al, you know? Tianlan just raised his writing brush and waved it. Do you see this writing brush? The three words of East Emperor Palace were done in one smooth motion. The whole living room was full of Sword Qi. The floors, the walls, and the furniture were all vulnerable. I’ll tell you the scene…”

“Ahem.”

The intolerant Li Tianlan coughed, interrupting Li Baitian’s serious bragging. “It’s OK if he occasionally exaggerates a little, but I even can’t recognize myself that he just mentioned. About the three words of East Emperor Palace, I wrote it for nearly a day. How come it was done in one smooth motion as he said? It’s totally unreasonable.”

However, Zhuang Huayang seemed not to listen to what Li Baitian said carefully. He just looked calmly at the walls covered with sword marks. The streaks of sword marks were filled with pure sword comprehension. In his eyes, it was like a beautiful scroll, incredible and fascinating.

“You did that?”

Zhuang Huayang glanced at Li Tianlan who walked out of the bedroom and said smilingly.

Li Tianlan braced himself and said calmly, “I’m planning to talk to you about this. These furniture needs to be changed. I still have some credits with me, which should be enough to deduct.”

“Here is the deal.”

Zhuang Huayang muttered to himself for a moment and said slowly, “Your credit will not be deducted. The academy will help you change the furniture, but I hope the wall will remain the same. Keep these sword marks here.”

Li Tianlan was stupefied, looking at Zhuang Huayang.

Zhuang Huayang did not look at Li Tianlan but still looked at the countless sword marks on the wall and whispered, “This is a treasure, Tian Lan. The sword Qi left here may soon disappear, but the pure sword comprehension will always exist. After you graduate, someone lives in your room and looks at these sword marks. If they can succeed in the future, it almost can be said that they are your students. Just leave the wall as it is. Sky Academy also needs such a special room.”

Li Tianlan nodded his head casually. As for the students or something, he has no interest for the time being. At the peak of Qi-controlling Realm, he was also really not qualified to be someone else’s teacher. The sword comprehension on the four walls was pure, but it won’t reveal Li family’s unique technique. Since keeping it could help keep his credits, he naturally wouldn’t have any complaint.

Zhuang Huayang looked at the plaque in front of him again, peered at the three words that even stung his eyes at first sight, and whispered, “East Emperor Palace… Is this the name of your team?”

Li Tianlan said “Hm” and suddenly thought of something. He asked calmly, “Princ.i.p.al, is there anything wrong with this name?”

“No. It’s quite good.”

Zhuang Huayang said with a smile, “Sounds a little magnificent.”

Li Tianlan looked at his expression seriously and asked again, “Haven’t you heard the name of East Emperor?”

Zhuang Huayang looked at Li Tianlan smilingly. As he saw Li Tianlan’s serious expression, he was immediately stupefied.

“No.”

Zhuang Huayang shook his head and said, “I do know a mythological character named Donghuang Taiyi. But according to you, this East Emperor has some stories?”

“He has been the Heavenly Son in Zhongzhou State for recent decades. How can he have no story?”

Li Tianlan said calmly, “His name is Dongcheng Huangtu.”

He also did not know why he was so persistent about this name. Every time he thought of the name which had endless contradictions and mystery, he would subconsciously try to make it out.

Perhaps it was because of Qin Weibai’s notebook.

Or maybe…

It was because of Qin Weibai’s miserable and helpless eyes when she mentioned this name.

“A Heavenly Son?”

Zhuang Huayang raised his eyebrows in surprise, took a deep look at Li Tianlan, and said slowly, “How come there is any Heavenly Son in recent decades? This word can’t be used casually. Even if this word is used to describe others, some modifiers will be added in front of the word. For example, w.a.n.g Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan are called ‘Young Heavenly Son’. The word ‘young’ is the most important. w.a.n.g Shengxiao of this generation, Jie of the last generation, and w.a.n.g Tianzong of the last generation before can only be regarded as the people who have the potential to become a Heavenly Son. It takes five hundred years for a Heavenly Son to come out in Zhongzhou State. For hundreds of years, only the ancestor of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai can afford this t.i.tle.”

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes slightly with a complicated expression. But he still insisted asking, “You have never heard of Dongcheng Huangtu?”

“Sounds like a person from the Dongcheng Clan?”

Zhuang Huayang glanced at Li Tianlan strangely, “Never heard of that.”

Li Tianlan became silent.

What the old fox at Zhuang Huayang’s age thought or even their superficial emotions couldn’t be figured out by him now. He also couldn’t tell whether Zhuang Huayang’s words were true or not.

“If what he said is not true.

“So what secret is hidden behind the name of Dongcheng Huangtu, which makes the person like Zhuang Huayang still throws a blanket of secrecy over it after he died so many years?

“As a Heavenly Son, he is unknown. How satirical it is!

“But if what he said is true…

“What does that mean?

“Zhuang Huayang who is nearly seventy years old, as a General in Zhongzhou State, has not even heard of the name of Dongcheng Huangtu.

“If this is true.

“It only meant one thing.

“That is Dongcheng Huangtu does not exist.”

“Tianlan?”

Zhuang Huayang frowned and called out, “Are you okay?”

“I’m OK.”

Li Tianlan shook his head, his mood complicated.

“Fine. Take good care of yourself. I suggest that you just take some Chinese medicine. As for the genetic potions like the healing potion, you’d better eat less except for an emergency.”

Zhuang Huayang glanced at Li Tianlan and said, “I’m going to Youzhou right away. As for other things, let’s talk when I’m back.”

Li Tianlan fixed his eyes on him.

“Zhuang Huayang is going to Youzhou?

“At this time, the biggest possibility of going to Youzhou is for the murder of Gu Changjiang.

An expert at the Governor level was killed in the territory of the country. This incident was big enough to make a stir in the whole Zhongzhou State. So even though Li Tianlan knew that nothing would happen if Zhuang Huayang went there this time, he was still subconsciously nervous.

“It’s OK.”

Zhuang Huayang shook his head and said with a calm smile.

Li Tianlan nodded his head slightly and did not speak anymore.

Zhuang Huayang turned to leave. As his gaze swept at random, he just saw Yu Qingyan standing in the corner.

Yu Qingyan’s pretty face looked pale. She still stood in place out of her wit, her mind wandering seemingly.

“Qingyan, are you all right?”

Zhuang Huayang asked with concern. He and Yu Donglai were old friends for many years. Now Yu Donglai sent his granddaughter to his academy, he must do his duty.

“I’m OK.”

Yu Qingyan was startled. She shook her head in a flurry and stammered, “I… I’ll call Grandpa.”

She turned around and trotted directly to the bedroom.

Zhuang Huayang smiled thoughtfully and left quickly.

In the bedroom.

Yu Qingyan sat on the bed, nervously holding the phone and waiting for the call connection.

The phone rang twice.

Yu Donglai’s kind and soft voice sounded, making Yu Qingyan calm down inwardly, “Qingyan? What happened? Miss Grandpa so soon just after I left?”

“Grandpa… I… I…”

Yu Qingyan’s nervousness in her heart gradually disappeared, but she still stammered.

“What’s up? Has anyone bullied you? Where’s Tianlan? Put him on the phone!”

Yu Qingyan became nervous immediately. He really loved this darling granddaughter deep down and was afraid that she was wronged. But for he had been blindly doting on her, Yu Qingyan may have another kind of character now.

“No. No.”

Yu Qingyan took a deep breath and whispered, “Grandpa, Yang Mengjiang bullied Brother Li. Just now in the cla.s.s, Sister Yuetong led us to seriously injure Yang Mengjiang.”

At the other end of the phone, Yu Donglai’s breath paused and whispered, “And then?”

“And then…”

Yu Qingyan hesitated for a while, lowered her voice again, and said with a trembling voice, “Then I used a drop of linnet blood.”

At the other end of the phone, he immediately lapsed into a deathly silence.

Linnet.

It was something that only he and Yu Qingyan knew. Over the years, Yu Donglai had even spent more time on the linnet than on Yu Qingyan. In the past twenty years, the linnet had been initially formed. If it could evolve once by the external force, it would become the scarlet rose finch.

This was the most poisonous thing in the world. Its toxicity was as fierce as the raging fire, which could be said to be unique in the world.

A drop of linnet blood…

Yu Donglai muttered for a long time before he took a deep breath and said gently, “It’s OK. Qingyan, you did the right thing. Don’t worry.”

His voice was still old and tired, but this time it sounded a little prouder.

Yu Qingyan nodded her little head hard and let out an “Hm”.

…

“Beast, this beast. I’m going to kill him, kill him, kill him!”

In the office of the Teaching Director, Gu Yunxia’s a.s.sistant supported Yang Mengjiang to sit on the sofa.

After entering the office, Yang Mengjiang, who had been silent all the way, couldn’t help growling in great anger finally.

Gu Yunxia stood at the window and took a deep breath before turning back slowly. He said with a sigh, “Mengjiang, we are careless at this time. Who has ever thought that w.a.n.g Yuetong, Li Baitian, and Ning Qiancheng would risk their lives for that boy? It seems that their relations.h.i.+ps are not very ordinary. w.a.n.g Yuetong has actually been caught in him in a few days. This is the most unexpected point.”

Yang Mengjiang darkened his face, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag on the cigarette.

The smoke entered his lungs.

Yang Mengjiang was filled with a surge of great fury. He only felt that his whole body was experiencing a sensation of burning. He shook his head in annoyance and did not say anything.

“Let’s find another opportunity later. About the matter, it’s not over yet, but we have to pay attention to the way afterward.”

Gu Yunxia muttered and said by one word after another, “Outside the Sky Academy, the boy is a nonent.i.ty. But at least in the academy, he has now become a character that cannot be ignored. We can’t continue to make some easy movements either. Next time, we must attack him briskly and hurriedly without leaving anything behind.”

Yang Mengjiang took deep drags on the cigarette and nodded his head. The burning sensation over his body became more and more intense. In an instant, he had broken out in a sweat.

Gu Yunxia, who knew that he had a short temper, only thought it was because he was angry and did not think much of it. He took out his mobile phone and said smilingly, “Sit down first. I’ll go to the lounge and call the city governor.”

Yang Mengjiang nodded his head. As he watched Gu Yunxia’s figure disappear, he lit a cigarette again.

The burning sensation spread from the soles of his feet and kept rising, surpa.s.sing his chest and abdomen. The hot waves rushed straight into his brain.

Yang Mengjiang even felt that his body was on fire.

He stubbed out the cigarette, looked at Gu Yunxia’s a.s.sistant, and said as he frowned, “Is there any water? With ice, please.”

“Yes.” The a.s.sistant said in a gentle voice.

She was also a freshman who graduated from the Sky Academy. At the beginning of that session, she was also a very famous beauty. After the graduation, she worked for Gu Yunxia and naturally became the chip for Gu Yunxia to court some henchmen. Not only Yang Mengjiang, but even many promising ordinary male teachers all had had an affair with her.

“There is a refrigerator in the lounge. I’ll get you some water.”

With a charming smile, the a.s.sistant turned around and walked to the lounge.

“Such a s.l.u.t!”

Yang Mengjiang stared at the a.s.sistant’s hip that wiggled with the soft curves, his heart more and more burning.

He was on fire.

Yang Mengjiang only felt that the fire in his body was getting so strong that he could hardly suppress it.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a sound temporarily.

Yang Mengjiang darkened his face and finally sensed that the burning sensation in his body was abnormal. When he subconsciously reached out to his mouth, his face instantly became desperate and pale.

In a short time, the tongue in his mouth had disappeared and even his teeth were melting rapidly.

The scorching heat instantly turned into a big fire.

He was really on fire.

The strange green flames jumped out of his body in an instant and spread all over his body immediately.

Yang Mengjiang’s face twisted and his body twitched in the flames, but he couldn’t even make a sound. In a very short period of time, his body twitched more and more weakly. Eventually, he stopped struggling and quickly burned with the sofa.

“Crack…”

The door of the lounge was pulled open.

The a.s.sistant with the attractive and even dissolute smile held a bottle of ice water, walking out of the lounge. As she glanced at the direction of the sofa, she was suddenly stupefied for a second.

In the office, Yang Mengjiang had disappeared together with the whole sofa.

The place was empty as if nothing had ever existed.

The secretary was stunned for a moment. Then she subconsciously turned around and hurried back to the lounge.

In the lounge, Gu Yunxia looked serious, quietly putting down the phone.

The a.s.sistant tightly held the bottle of water in her hands and asked nervously, “Director, Mr. Yang has left and also stolen our sofa.”

“Yang Mengjiang?

“Stole the sofa?

Gu Yunxia stared at his a.s.sistant strangely with an inexplicable look and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Gu Yunxia soon understood that the a.s.sistant was not talking nonsense.

On this day, an almost supernatural disappearance occurred in the Sky Academy.

Yang Mengjiang, the leader of the course group of the Actual Combat Lesson in the academy, mysteriously disappeared in Gu Yunxia’s office.

It was like that he just disappeared out of the void with a sofa and was nowhere to be found instantly.

Gu Yunxia asked everyone and even accessed the surveillance footage, but he didn’t find Yang Mengjiang leave, still less find him leave with the sofa.

Just in this office, Yang Mengjiang disappeared without warning and without a trace.

Everyone in the whole Sky Academy was puzzled and no one knew what had happened.

At dusk on the same day.

At Youzhou City.

In the Hidden Dragon Sea, the main center of authority in Zhongzhou State.

President Li Huacheng of Zhongzhou State personally convened a meeting of the Decision Making Committee.

The Princ.i.p.al Zhuang Huayang of the Sky Academy and the Minister of State Security Fan Tianyin in Zhongzhou State were invited to attend the meeting.

Gu Xingyun, the G.o.d of War in Zhongzhou State who rarely attended such a meeting attended.

The meeting discussed the death of Gu Changjiang, the Director of the Special Operations Bureau in Huating.

Gu Xingyun took out the video. In the place where Gu Changjiang finally disappeared, the Commander Dongcheng Wudi of the Border Praetorian Corps and the Princ.i.p.al Zhuang Huayang of the Sky Academy appeared on the scene one after another.

The body of Gu Changjiang had not been found, but the estimated time of his death was very consistent with the time when Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang appeared.

The whole Decision Making Committee was waiting for the explanation of the two of them.

Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang seriously clarified themselves one by one, while Zhong Yongming, the head of Huating, who was also one of the members of the Decision Making Committee, despite some reluctance in his heart, still proved that both Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang had no conflict with Gu Changjiang on the day when they met. It was just Qin Weibai, the person that played second fiddle in Samsara, who had some conflicts with Gu Changjiang.

This explanation was easily accepted by everyone.

After all, whether Gu Changjiang, Zhuang Huayang or Dongcheng Wudi, they were all high officials in Zhongzhou State. Even if there were conflicts between them, it could hardly cause a death. Some basic rules must be obeyed by everyone.

So everyone paid attention to another direction.

The death time of Gu Changjiang was vague and the scope was relatively large. In this long period of time, there was also another person of great concern who appeared on the road that Gu Changjiang had been to. Moreover, this person absolutely had the means to kill Gu Changjiang silently.

The Second Master of the Jiang family in Nanmei.

Jiang Qiannian.

It involved in a huge foreign force, so the tone of the partic.i.p.ants in the meeting was also a little cautious. Finally, after Gu Xingyun declared a thorough investigation, this matter seemed to end temporarily.

Gu Xingyun temporarily stopped censure, but some people started to have a lash-out at Kunlun City.

At the highest-level meeting of the Decision Making Committee of the empire, Zhuang Huayang, in front of several directors and all members, said frankly that the atmosphere in the Sky Academy was now very unhealthy full of crooked ways and miasma. Despite Gu Xingyun’s gloomy face, Zhuang Huayang directly named him. Zhuang Huayang thought that he was suspected of stirring up trouble, having a vague position, ignoring the overall situation, and not uniting his colleagues. Zhuang Huayang almost belittled Gu Yunxia like he was totally useless.

At the same time, he also cited that Liu Xiuwei attacked a freshman during the entrance maneuver. In the Actual Combat Lesson, the teachers made things difficult for the freshmen.

Fan Tianyin, the Minister of State Security in Zhongzhou State and the go-getter of the Southeast Group also said that he had received a phone call from his son Fan Haoyu. It was said that Fan Haoyu’s life at the Sky Academy was very insecure. Under the leaders.h.i.+p of some school leaders who had ambiguous stands, he even felt that he was living under the horrible high pressure in Kunlun City, instead of at the Sky Academy.

The General Dongcheng Wudi, who was originally filled with pent-up anger because of the explanation, flew into a rage and said that the Sky Academy had environmental problems and even the Princ.i.p.al Zhuang Huayang was responsible for that. He suggested dismissing all the duties of Gu Yunxia in the Sky Academy.

Faced with Gu Xingyun, the well-known G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre in Zhongzhou State pointed out the responsibilities of the Sky Academy without hesitation.

It was to train talents for the Special Warfare System and the military system in Zhongzhou State, not to raise henchmen for Kunlun City.

Ye Dongsheng, one of the leaders of the Southeast Group, who was called G.o.d of Army also expressed his support for Dongcheng Wudi with a cold face.

The Academics, the Giant Group, and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Because of a small matter that no one even noticed at this time, it was like that the three parties had just reached an agreement. They scolded Gu Yunxia’s behavior with sharp words, which was almost equivalent to pointing to the people in Kunlun City and scolded them for not having their heart in the right place.

A director of the Prince Group put in a good word for Kunlun City superficially, which barely mediated the dispute.

Faced with the deluge of reprimand, Gu Xingyun, the G.o.d of War in Zhongzhou State, remained expressionless all the way, steady as a mountain.

But everyone in the meeting could see the flash of rage in his eyes.

The disputes suddenly rose in the meeting room.

Dark clouds were gathering in the sky over Youzhou.

After this meeting, the relations.h.i.+ps between The Six in Zhongzhou State were suddenly at loggerheads.
