Chapter 84: The Mastermind Behind the Scene

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

According to the college rules? Executed right now?

Jiang Yi sneered as Mentor Zhao, who was overflowing with killing aura, approached him. He didn’t flee but scoffed loudly instead, “Mentor Zhao, you colluded with the assassins to murder me; how should you deal with the college rules? You don’t want to be a mentor anymore? Or have you already forsaken your life? With such a huge commotion, are you certain that no one is nearby to witness it?”

Mentor Zhao’s body paused for a moment, but a ruthless expression appeared. He clenched his teeth and continued to run as he shouted, “Jiang Yi, no matter how you quibble or try to feign... as long as you kill in front of me, I—as a mentor—can enact the rules.”

“Cough, cough!”

Right at this moment, a coughing sound could be heard from the other side of the forest. Around eight individuals emerged, and the leader was a fatty that had this innocent smile. He smiled while speaking to Mentor Zhao, “Mentor Zhao. What are you doing? Are you going to kill a cadet in front of us? This isn’t good, right?”

“Qian Wanguan? Didn’t you...”

Mentor Zhao paused in his tracks again. His vicious eyes flashed once again; he then said softly, “Qian Wanguan, if you are smart enough, then you better don’t get involved in this! Jiang Yi has violated the college rules...”

“Haha!”

Qian Wanguan laughed loudly and interrupted Mentor Zhao. He then spoke with sarcasm, “Even if Jiang Yi violated the college rules, the patrolling team should be the one to execute him, right? What’s more... did Jiang Yi kill cadets of the college? These people are at least 27 years old, right? How can they be cadets? Since they are outsiders that trespassed the college’s territory, why can’t Jiang Yi kill them? Mentor Zhao, there are some people that you shouldn’t offend. You can’t afford to offend someone like me, too... your family stays in the Tiger Roar City, right?”

Mentor Zhao’s expression completely changed. He looked at Jiang Yi and blinked non-stop before finally clenching his teeth as he looked at Qian Wanguan. “Young Master Qian, I am forced to do this. I hope you don’t involve my family in this!”

Finishing his statement, Mentor Zhao circulated his essence force into his palm and slammed it on his own head. With blood violently spurting, his body went soft and lifelessly fell to the ground.

“Huh...”

Jiang Yi’s pupils shrank; he never would have thought of this turn of events. A mentor of the Mt. Spirit Beast College was forced to suicide by a single sentence from Qian Wanguan?

Jiang Yi’s mind reacted quickly and seemingly realized something. He looked at Qian Wanguan and asked, “This Mentor Zhao was forced by someone?”

“En. He had to die whether or not he killed you!”

Qian Wanguan nodded. “He must have some information that could be used against him, which was why he took the risk. But even after he completed the task, the mastermind would still eliminate him to prevent any leak. Boss, are you alright? This was due to my carelessness. I was tricked by Mentor Zhao, but I realized it quickly. If not, it would have been troublesome...”

Jiang Yi laughed bitterly and had all his doubts about Fatty carried away by the wind. If Qian Wanguan seriously intended to frame him, he wouldn’t have appeared at this moment. Once Mentor Zhao made his move, he only had death awaiting him. But he then hesitated before asking, “What are the identities of these men? Who sent them here? Can you find out about it? That’s right... I heard that one of them is called Ying Ba!”

Qian Wanguan gestured with a wave, and the several men went towards the corpses beside Jiang Yi. They took the instructions from Qian Wanguan and allocated two individuals to head into the cave. Qian Wanguan then examined the corpse on the ground and said with certainty, “This man isn’t from the Ying Clan. If it was a member of the Ying Clan, it would have been hard for you to survive. They are—after all—professional assassins! Qian Tongshen, send a signal to Mentor Liu and Ying Sha to come over.”

The members from Qian Clan moved swiftly and reported on the information of the assassins. After listening to the report, Qian Wanguan raised a thumb and said, “Boss, you are definitely aggressive! To be able to defeat 13 individuals by yourself, and there was even one of them at the Purple Mansion Realm while five of them were at the peak stage of the Cast Tripod Realm.”

“It is just my luck.”

Jiang Yi laughed wryly and shook his head. Had it not been for that demonic beast, he would already have become a corpse. He paused for a moment before asking Qian Wanguan, “How are we going to clear up this mess here? One of the mentors is dead too...”

“Trivial matter.”

Qian Wanguan smiled lightly, “Once Mentor Liu and the patrolling team are here, I will handle it.”

Soon enough, a mentor and Ying Sha arrived. Qian Wanguan asked Ying Sha to demonstrate his assassination skills to Jiang Yi. After Jiang Yi witness the proficiency of Ying Sha’s art of assassination, he immediately determined that the assassin was not from the Ying Clan. If it was truly a member of the Ying Clan, he wouldn’t have survived.

Ying Sha examined the corpses and began to laugh coldly, “Jiang Yi, don’t worry. I need just three days to reveal this assassin’s organization. But the mastermind behind this can only be unveiled by Young Master Qian.”

Qian Wanguan shook his head. “With Mentor Zhao dead, it is still possible to find out who was the one who ordered the assassination; but no evidence can be found.”

Mentor Liu was obviously on the side of Qian Wanguan; he investigated for a moment before giving the signal to the patrolling team. The nearby cadets were all gathered around, and before the mentors from the patrolling team arrived, the entire area was packed with people.

The death of a mentor shocked the entire college. After the patrolling team investigated, Mentor Liu brought Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan back to the college. After some queries from the Vice President, the final verdict made Jiang Yi speechless.

Those assassins turned into bandits and Mentor Zhao turned into the martyr that sacrificed himself to fight these bandits. The college even gave Mentor Zhao an honorary burial. As for Jiang Yi... he became the brave warrior that assisted Mentor Zhao. He was praised by the college and rewarded with 500 accumulation points!

“This college is much too dark, right?”

When Jiang Yi heard this news, his expression was filled with fury. Didn’t this Mentor Zhao collude with those assassins to murder him? He was afraid of being exposed by Qian Wanguan and committed suicide, but now he was a brave martyr? Those people were clearly hitmen, and the college didn’t even attempt to find out who was the mastermind. They instead settled it as a story of bandits?

“Boss, don’t be rash!”

Qian Wanguan giggled and said, “Any of the other colleges or Great Clans will handle it like this. The college can never give out any information that a college’s mentor is colluding to kill a cadet. If this news spread, it would ruin the reputation of the college. Didn’t they give you 500 points as compensation? Don’t worry, my men are already investigating. Of course, without a detailed investigation... I can already guess who the mastermind is.”

Jiang Yi felt a chill as he spoke seriously, “Is it Jiang Qilin?”

“Nine out of ten times!”

Qian Wanguan nodded. “Those that have grievances with you are only him and Yue Mei’er, but Yue Mei’er didn’t have such a capability. Jiang Qilin is a direct bloodline descendant, which made it easy for him to threaten Mentor Zhao. He can simply spend a little purple gold to hire a group of assassins. A pity that he underestimated you.”

Jiang Yi’s expression went solemn for a moment before he asked, “Is it possible that Jiang Yiliu is involved?”

Qian Wanguan rolled his eyes at Jiang Yi and asked in reply, “What status does Jiang Yiliu have? If he was the one who sent the assassins, are you sure you can survive?”

When Jiang Yi figured he guessed wrong, he thought that he was too tensed up. He stayed silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. Even if he found out that Jiang Qilin was the mastermind, there was nothing he could do to Jiang Qilin. He could only wait for himself to grow stronger before taking his revenge.

“Oh right! What is this accumulation points used for? How long can I use it?”

Thinking that he needed to increase his strength, Jiang Yi recalled that the college rewarded him with 500 points. It was rumored to be some great thing? Didn’t the first ranker of the Blood Purge get 100 points only?

Qian Wanguan’s eyes brightened up, and he lamented, “This is a great thing! Boss, you profited from a disaster! After you finish using all these 500 points, your strength would most definitely be at the seventh or eighth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm.”
