Chapter 440 - Suspicion
Chapter 440: Suspicion
Lin Jiansheng stared in the direction where Anna and the Icy Night T-Rex had left. He smiled and suddenly turned to the man hiding in the forest. “Whether they live or die in the future is their good fortune. Let’s send them here.”
There was the sound of dead branches being stepped on in the forest, and then a man walked out.
The person was wearing a gray shirt with a cloud-patterned marble collar pin at the collar. He was holding a black dragon-patterned sword. It was Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao called out to Lin Jiansheng and walked slowly to Tamor’s corpse.
Sheng Xiao stared at Tamor’s body for a moment. Then, he turned to Lin Jiansheng and said, “Anna didn’t lose her mind completely.”
“That’s right.” Lin Jiansheng had been hiding in the dark just now and had observed Anna’s actions after she woke up. He had also discovered that Anna hadn’t completely lost her mind.
Lin Jiansheng said in surprise, “According to the records, those great fiendish cultivators are natural destroyers without self-awareness. Anna is a little strange. After she woke up just now, although she awakened her demonic nature, she wasn’t enslaved by that demonic nature nor did she become a true fiendish cultivator. On the contrary, she still retained her consciousness and could wake up instantly and recognize that Tyrannosaurus.”
“I’ve never heard of such a demonic cultivator.”
Sheng Xiao found it strange too, but he couldn’t understand it either.
“Forget it, go back first. The old dean’s place must be in a mess.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Sheng Xiao said goodbye to Lin Jiansheng and rushed back to the Divine Moon Empire.
When he returned to the old dean’s place, Xuanyuan Shen and the others had already dispersed. Only Yu Huang remained in the small courtyard to take care of Di Ruofeng.
The house that had been destroyed by the Icy Night T-Rex still looked dilapidated. It looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.
The old dean’s room looked relatively safe.
The old dean had been frozen for nearly two hours. His old bones couldn’t take it anymore. The old dean leaned against the head of the bed and held a bowl of ginger soup in his hand. As he drank it in small sips, he listened to Yu Huang tell him what had happened today.
“Xuanyuan Shen directly got someone to carry the corpses of the three guest elders of the Xuanyuan Clan and shouted aggressively at the entrance of the Yin Clan. He was afraid that others wouldn’t know that he, Xuanyuan Shen, had lost three guest elders. He was very proactive in dealing with Anna. That day, when we dealt with Su Xuanye, why didn’t he rush to the front? He’s a coward who is afraid of death and only dares to bully the weak! Speaking of which, the students of the Divine Eagle Academy seem to be the same.”
Xuanyuan Shen and Yin Fu were the same.
Di Ruofeng chuckled when he heard this. He said, “It is a case of scoundrel realizing his ambition.”
At that moment, the old dean sensed that someone was approaching. He sensed carefully and said, “Sheng Xiao is back.”
“Is that so?” Yu Huang quietly activated her psychic power and caught Sheng Xiao’s aura. Yu Huang immediately got up and opened the window to look downstairs. She saw Sheng Xiao pushing open the door of the small courtyard and rushing back.
Sheng Xiao looked up at Yu Huang when he heard the window open.
Seeing that Yu Huang’s eyes were filled with concern, Sheng Xiao smiled at her and said concisely, “They’re fine for now.”
“That’s good.”
Yu Huang waved at Sheng Xiao and gestured for him to go up and talk.
Sheng Xiao drank a glass of water downstairs and hurried to the old dean’s room.
Sheng Xiao was relieved to see that the old dean was in good spirits. “Dean, Anna and the T-Rex have left the Divine Realm Continent safely. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to reach the primitive forest safely.”
After knowing that Anna’s life wasn’t in danger and that she had successfully left the Divine Realm Continent, Di Ruofeng felt a little more at ease. He held the ginger soup and took a sip. He wiped his beard that was drenched by the ginger soup with a handkerchief before asking, “Did you meet anyone along the way?”
“When I was passing by Jade Empire, I met two Supreme Masters and a Level 6 Purifying Spirit Master.” Sheng Xiao told the old dean everything he had seen and heard.
After knowing that the Purifying Spirit Master from the Jade Empire called Tamor had actually set his sights on the Icy Night T-Rex, Di Ruofeng was instantly angered to the point of snorting coldly. He cursed, “This person is unethical and very bad. No wonder he’s still a Level 6 Purifying Spirit Master after cultivating for more than two hundred years.”
“Su Xuanye had too many darkness in his heart too. Therefore, he cultivated for more than 600 years before breaking through to become a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master 30 years ago.”
In the hundreds of years since the birth of the Purifying Spirit System, there had rarely been a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. The only Purifying Spirit Masters who could break through to Level 9 in less than 200 years were Su Tingxue and Lin Jiansheng.
From this, it could be seen that only the purest and kindest person could comprehend the true meaning of the Purifying Spirit Art. This was true.
The old dean looked at Yu Huang and said, “Although your mentor doesn’t look like a kind and smart person, and it took him three years to successfully condense the Psychic Pearl back then. He truly has a benevolent heart. That’s why he was able to obtain the sacrifice of 13,000 Yin Clan souls and become the strongest person in the Purifying Spirit world.”
“From this, it can be seen that people can’t have any evil motives. Those with evil intentions will definitely suffer a backlash.”
To be honest, when Lin Jiansheng went to the Divine Realm Academy to report back then, when he saw Lin Jiansheng’s gangster-like appearance, not to mention Di Ruofeng, even that old fart Edward from the Purifying Spirit Department didn’t believe that Lin Jiansheng would have his current achievements.
However, those who judged a book by its cover would often be proven wrong.
In the hundred years that Di Ruofeng had been the dean, his judgment was quite sharp. The only time he had failed was with Lin Jiansheng.
“Tamor died because Anna swallowed his psychic energy. He deserved it.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao listened quietly. After the old dean finished sighing, Yu Huang reminded him, “Drink the ginger soup while it’s warm. Don’t catch a cold.” Although Beast Tamers didn’t catch a cold easily, the T-Rex’s Ice Seal was too powerful.
The old dean finished the ginger soup in one gulp and said, “I’m relieved that T-Rex took Anna away. I watched the T-Rex grow up. He’s a good child who means what he says. If Anna really loses control and becomes a demonic cultivator, the T-Rex will definitely do as he promised.”
Yu Huang recalled Anna’s loss of control on the Eight Towers Mountain that day. She felt that this matter was too sudden.
Yu Huang said, “I have a feeling that Anna’s loss of control is a little suspicious.”
The old dean didn’t say anything, but his expression was very serious. Clearly, he had the same doubts as Yu Huang.
Sheng Xiao asked her, “What’s suspicious?” Sheng Xiao didn’t know Anna as well as Yu Huang did, so he didn’t find anything suspicious.
Yu Huang revealed her thoughts and said, “Anna’s beast form has always been very calm all these years and has never lost control. On the day of the Battle of the Eight Towers Mountain, although the scene was extremely chaotic and easily agitated people, Anna has been used to all kinds of big scenes in the two years she has been with the dean. According to her current state of mind, she shouldn’t have lost control so easily.”
The old dean nodded slowly and said, “I feel the same as Yu Huang. We both feel that this is very abnormal.” Anna was Di Ruofeng’s disciple. Di Ruofeng understood Anna’s temperament better than anyone else. In the past two years, Di Ruofeng had arranged for Anna to tame demon beasts. Many demon beasts had resisted and attacked Anna, but Anna’s reaction was calm and composed every time.
She wasn’t the kind of person who would lose control of her consciousness easily.
Di Ruofeng suspected that Anna had lost control because someone was controlling her from behind. However, he had no idea who that person was or how that person controlled Anna.
Sheng Xiao suddenly asked Yu Huang, “Do you have the surveillance backup from that day?”
“Yes, when Xuanyuan Shen made a copy this morning, I also made a copy.”
Yu Huang used the memory stone to copy the image from that day.
Yu Huang took out the memory stone and placed it on the bedside table before awakening it with her spiritual power.
The memory stone woke up, and its body emitted a bright white light. Soon, the image of the battle of the Eight Towers Mountain was projected into the room.
The surveillance footage copied from the memory stone was a three-dimensional image. The three of them stood in different directions to watch the image. Yu Huang and the old dean were staring at Anna, wanting to find out which scene had stimulated Anna’s nerves and caused her to lose control of her consciousness.
Sheng Xiao, on the other hand, was focused on the super experts on the battlefield.
However, after watching the video three to four times, Yu Huang and the old dean didn’t find anything suspicious.
Anna’s loss of control really looked like an accident.
“Let’s watch it again.” Yu Huang was worried that they would miss some details. She refused to give up, so she replayed the video again.
However, this time, she and the old dean still didn’t gain anything.
Just as Yu Huang gave up and was about to turn off the memory stone, she heard Sheng Xiao say, “It’s not the battle that agitated Anna, but him…” Sheng Xiao suddenly pointed his index finger at the sky above the battlefield. The person he pointed at was Su Xuanye, who had white hair.
Yu Huang and the old dean looked at each other in surprise.
The old dean asked Sheng Xiao, “What did you find? Is there a problem with Su Xuanye?” That day, the old dean had been fighting with Su Xuanye. He didn’t remember Su Xuanye attacking Anna.
Sheng Xiao pointed at Su Xuanye and said, “I’ve been observing Su Xuanye and found some unusual details.”
Sheng Xiao replayed the scene when the eight Supreme Masters of the Yin family were killed by Yu Huang and she was surrounded by all the treacherous Beast Tamers.
“Look carefully at this scene. At that time, when the members of the Blood Peacock Organization saw that Yu Huang had killed the eight Supreme Masters of the Yin Clan by herself, they were afraid and decided to attack Yu Huang together. At that time, Yin Rong, Xiao Shu, Anna, and all the young Beast Tamers decided to approach Yu Huang together. When he saw this scene, Su Xuanye’s expression clearly became more serious.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang raised her head and looked at Su Xuanye, who was on the battlefield. As expected, when Su Xuanye saw that everyone was approaching her, his expression indeed became solemn and ugly.
Sheng Xiao continued, “Look carefully. Su Xuanye’s lips moved a few times. Did he say something?”
