Chapter 487 Nothing More Than a Pawn
“Jiang He…”
"command?"
"Senior Jiang."
"Jiang He!"
……
Bai Zhizhou lifted up the person whose entire body was oozing blood, and behind his glasses, his white pupils were wide open.
His voice was hoarse, and he could no longer speak.
Long Aotian held his sword, his brows furrowed in sorrow. He knelt beside Jiang He and gently stroked her cheek.
Seemingly incredulous, Long Aotian's fingers trembled as he withdrew, his arm, veins bulging, tense. He exhaled, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"Healing chamber, recovery pills..."
As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion, and he could no longer continue.
Long Aotian knew that Jiang He was dead and had stopped breathing.
When my thoughts suddenly cleared, I saw two clear tears on the back of my hand.
Zhong Liyu stared blankly, just like Long Aotian.
How could she die? There were so many of them, yet not one of them could protect Jiang He.
Zhong Liyu thought to himself, "If only the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations had found him instead of Jiang He."
Zhong Liyu lowered her head, overwhelmed with self-reproach.
The cultivators of the Fifth Army, along with Changsun Ling, also saw Jiang He lying on the ground.
The person in front of them was already dead.
Ruiyu and Jixu killed Jiang He one after the other.
Everyone's eyes flickered; the person who had just been standing right in front of them was clearly alive and well.
Now, however, he has become a corpse.
Changsun Ling held his breath, but that breath vanished abruptly upon witnessing Jiang He's death.
Perhaps we should have brought them here in the first place.
A silent stillness spread.
Li Ling wiped her eyes with her wrist.
With bloodshot eyes, Li Ling charged towards Rui Yu, hammer in hand.
"Kill for life!"
Li Ling's attack came unexpectedly.
Ruiyu was initially hit on one side, but quickly dodged the blow:
"They're demonic cultivators. I remember that demonic cultivators and spiritual cultivators are sworn enemies. In order to maintain peace, it seems that killing them is acceptable."
Ruiyu appeared to be asking Ji Xu a question, but in reality, she had already been provoked by Li Ling.
He killed a monk; what did he do wrong?
The demonic cultivator's resentful gaze greatly displeased Ruiyu.
Ruiyu always acted alone, and before Ji Xu could stop him, the staff in his hand began to spin.
"Kill those who shouldn't be killed..."
Bai Zhizhou gently put Jiang He down and took off his glasses.
His white pupils were fully open; this was the first time Long Aotian had seen Bai Zhizhou without his glasses.
Unlike the reserved people of the past, a wisp of white spiritual energy flickered in Bai Zhizhou's eyes.
A solid white scythe appeared and blocked Li Ling's path.
"It is a manifestation of spiritual energy."
During the Nascent Soul stage, spiritual energy manifests as matter.
When Ruiyu put the two words together, she was startled.
The boy in front of me clearly possesses pupil magic.
Only the Bai family could use their pupil technique to conjure spiritual energy into objects.
The Bai family, one of the top-tier families.
Ke Ruiyu clearly had never heard of this person before. He hesitated and looked at Bai Zhizhou, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage but was using the strength of the Divine Transformation stage.
And the boy beside him.
Long Aotian held his sword, his swordsmanship full of sharpness.
Ji Xu hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, grabbed Rui Yu, and quickly took her away.
Before leaving, Ruiyu was distracted and ended up with a wound on her arm.
These were wounds inflicted by Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian.
Although it didn't cause any fundamental damage, Ruiyu kept a close eye on Bai Zhizhou.
White pupils are indeed unique to the Bai family.
Ruiyu and Jixu left in an instant.
This time, however, their bodies were stiff and they could no longer move.
A massive arm appeared, grasping Ruiyu and Jixu completely in its palm. In an instant, neither of them was left behind, not even their corpses.
Before Lan Geng fainted, he sent the message to Yan Xingwen.
Unfortunately, there were too many monsters, and Yan Xingwen arrived too late.
Upon Yan Xingwen's arrival, all the other cultivators from the Yicha Department, except for Ruiyu and Jixu, died on the spot.
The sky darkened again.
Lan Geng lowered his eyes and brows.
"I'm sorry, it was our Fifth Army that failed to protect Jiang He."
Jiang He's body stiffened, and she was placed into the coffin by the crowd.
Bai Zhizhou snapped out of his daze, his expression blank.
Heng Yixing looked at the distraught boy and sighed. He knew.
Sudden separation is undoubtedly painful.
Since Jiang He's death, Long Aotian and the other three have been unusually silent.
The pupil technique in Bai Zhizhou's eyes remained, and the lightning tribulation followed behind him.
45 bolts of lightning, the heavenly lightning for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage...
News of Jiang He's death spread very quickly.
When Shangguan Linghu and the other cultivators from Wanjue Academy arrived, they only saw the last glimpse of the coffin.
Jiang He's body was frozen and stored within the Fifth Army.
Shangguan Linghu couldn't understand why a cultivator who had always left himself so much leeway would suddenly die.
Thinking about the two identities she had discovered before, it was clear that Jiang He was not someone who would easily put her in danger.
Not only Shangguan Linghu didn't believe it, but almost all the cultivators who had seen Jiang He didn't believe it either.
How could such a healthy person just disappear like that?
It is the Department of Different Observations.
-
"Is anyone in charge of the Surveillance Department? If no one is, I will keep reporting them."
“The Department of Extraordinary Observations arrests countless innocent cultivators every year. My classmate was also arrested by the Department of Extraordinary Observations last year, supposedly because he had been possessed. But I’ve known him for eleven years, a full eleven years. I was the one who discovered he was about to be possessed first.”
"I have already sent an email to report it."
……
Upon learning of Jiang He's death, all the cultivators at Wanjue Academy were deeply saddened.
They spontaneously organized the monks to write emails to report the incident.
Besides the Wanjue Academy, public opinion on the Star Network is also gradually fermenting.
Initially, online public opinion was completely unfavorable to Jiang He.
As the weapon of various powerful families, the Department of Extraordinary Investigations naturally controls the gateway to "freedom of speech".
They spread rumors that Jiang He was a time traveler, inciting unsuspecting netizens.
But all of this vanished with an official announcement.
Qi Xun received the news of Jiang He's death immediately. He knew something about the Yicha Department, but he didn't know that they would dare to kill someone in public on the territory of the Fifth Army.
This is no different from disrespecting Yan Xingwen.
Besides Yan Xingwen, the Yichabu also ran into trouble with Wanqi Jingyan.
The Fifth Army was located in Black Nest. The Surveillance Department randomly broke in and killed Jiang He, and of course, it is also possible that they killed the military's cultivators.
