When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 160 Yun Shu Waiting Quietly

The school's investigation was not carried out with great fanfare, after all, it wasn't a good thing.

However, without anyone noticing, a number of muscular male security guards in uniforms appeared on campus.

Furthermore, the school's security department would occasionally visit members of the Wenhua Society, Wudao Society, and Dandao Society, and the vice president of the Baicao Society was also questioned.

Even outside the school, the entire city of Jiujiang has quietly become lively.

However, the matter was still exposed.

The news agency once again displayed its paparazzi prowess, exposing everything that happened both on and off campus, and even obtaining photos of the security department handling the killer's body.

On the school forum, related posts appeared one after another, with the top one being the news agency's exposé post.

"A super freshman, the new generation's unparalleled genius of Dongxia, and the new king of the Alchemy Club and Astronomy Club, is assassinated. Is this a sign of moral decay or the darkness of human nature?"

The super long title listed a bunch of names; someone unfamiliar with the situation might think it was about a group of people who had been assassinated.

They certainly created enough hype.

The content was even more explosive, attracting responses from all sorts of people.

According to sources, Wei Changqing, the former president of the Dan Dao Society, was taken away by the security department yesterday.

Dean Yun of the Martial Arts Academy remained silent on the matter.

The head of the security department is reportedly heading to Huating City, possibly to visit the headquarters of the Yunlai Group.

In the dimly lit room, the curtains were drawn, blocking out the sunlight. Only a screen lit up, changing pages as a finger swiped.

Yun Yan sat in his wheelchair, his head slightly lowered so his expression was obscured; only the increasingly rapid swiping of his fingers revealed his mood.

The situation is not good for Yun Shu's side.

Although Dean Yun is present, it's impossible to treat Yun Shu's side like criminals, but there will still be a lot of related investigations.

It is precisely because Dean Yun is highly respected that we must avoid suspicion and refrain from interfering too much in this matter.

Of course, the other deans of Yujing Martial Arts University will not directly intervene in the matter; they will simply observe how things develop.

As for the outcome... as long as there is no conclusive evidence, Yun Shu will be fine.

However, the related impacts are unavoidable.

Wei Changqing, Qiao Yuexuan, and Chu Tingfeng, the president of Wenhua Society, have been cooperating with the investigation for the past two days.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze, while not continuing to challenge other groups, has begun a propaganda offensive.

The news agency claimed to be neutral, but in this report, there was an unspoken bias towards Bai Ze.

Everything is developing in a direction unfavorable to our side...
Yun Yan's arm trembled slightly, his lowered hand gripping the wheelchair handle. "Heh, ho ho ho..."

He let out a sinister laugh.

"very nice."

Those who are looking after him and monitoring him are too busy to look after anything else.

Even her own father was suspected.

Dean Yun is avoiding any appearance of impropriety.

In this case--

Yun Yan raised his head, and the blood color gradually reflected in his eyes.

He stared intently at the swirling blood cloud, watching the condensed blood droplets tremble, and listening to the mocking laughter emanating from the darkness.

Now, nobody cares about this useless person.

Yun Yan was temporarily relegated to a forgotten corner.

"Five years? How could I possibly wait five years? How could Mu Yaoguang possibly help me recover after five years? How could you possibly be willing to be controlled by Mu Yaoguang!"

Yun Yan kept talking to himself.

He didn't believe Mu Yaoguang would help him recover, and he didn't believe his family would be willing to be controlled by Mu Yaoguang.

If the goal is to wait five years, wouldn't that mean we can't do anything to Mu Yaoguang's side during those five years?
As for exploring the primordial realm, golden cores are not so easy to find.

Despite years of exploration, Yujing Wuda has only managed to obtain one.

When Mu Yaoguang needed the Golden Core to heal, even though Yun Jingming was holding her back at Yujing Martial Arts University, Mu Yaoguang still had supporters outside the school. In the end, she still disappeared for five years.

Even if no one holds them back this time, the chances of finding the Golden Core are still extremely small and difficult.

Not to mention Mu Yaoguang's interference. "From beginning to end, there has only been one answer."

As he muttered to himself, Yun Yan took a deep breath, made the biggest decision of his life, and reached out his hand.

The crimson hue that only he could see was turning from illusion to reality, and in the darkness, an invisible yet vast gaze descended from the other shore.

"Heh, interesting."

Laughter, tinged with amusement and mockery, echoed as crimson blood gradually gathered in Yun Yan's palm.

Finally, a drop of crimson blood, carrying a strange yet beautiful demonic quality, dripped from the void and disappeared into Yun Yan's palm.

Blood mingled with blood, the broken meridians regained their vitality and began to recover, and a faint energy was reborn within the body.

Yun Yan felt the gradually filling sense of power and was overjoyed, his lips curving into an uncontrollable grin.

But just as his joy reached its peak, a sigh rang out.

"Brother, you have disappointed us, your family."

In the dimly lit room, a tall figure quietly appeared. He stood silently behind Yun Yan and spoke slowly.

Yun Yan was struck dumb as if by lightning.

"you--"

The new life force was suppressed, and Yun Yan was as if he was being held down by an invisible force, sitting in a wheelchair. The new life brought by the demonic blood was not enough to contend with the strength of the person behind him.

"You're out of seclusion!"

Without turning around, Yun Yan knew who was behind him—his elder brother, Yun Shu, who should have been in seclusion.

"I came out of quarantine two days ago."

The voice coming from behind was soft yet carried a heavy feeling, as if it contained a deep sense of helplessness.

"Two days ago...the day Bai Ze was assassinated, you came out of seclusion then, but you never showed up. You were keeping an eye on me!" Yun Yan was both shocked and furious.

"Because your temperament is becoming increasingly extreme, we must be on guard."

The tall figure reached out and placed a hand on Yun Yan's shoulder, saying, "Because I will stop the restart of the Yuanjie exploration project, I must ensure that you will not become emotionally agitated and go to extremes afterward."

Preventing the restart of Metaverse exploration —

"You lied to me!" Yun Yan forced the new life force within his body, gritting his teeth.

Even though he didn't have high hopes for exploring the dimensional realm, Yun Yan still held onto a degree of faith in his family.

It turned out to be a lie.

“You don’t understand. The restart of the Metaverse exploration project was a trap from the very beginning. Once the exploration is restarted, I will be the leader of the exploration. I must leave Wuda University so that Bai Ze can seize the opportunity. Therefore, Bai Ze will push for the restart, and I must stop it.”

Yun Shu let out a long sigh and said.

Once you enter the Metaverse, the time to return is unknown.

It could be a few days, or it could be a few months.

Perhaps by the time Yun Shu returns, the martial arts club will no longer belong to him.

This is a trap; do not fall into it.

But if the exploration project is prevented from restarting, Yun Yan will lose her last hope.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure that Yun Yan's mind does not go to extremes and fall into demonic ways after losing hope.

Rather than letting Yun Yan fall into the demonic path, accept the blood of the Great Freedom Demon, and become their fatal weakness, it would be better to...

Amidst increasingly helpless sighs, a chill swept through Yun Yan's heart.

He, a useless person, was temporarily forgotten and given the opportunity to receive demonic blood, but this also left him in a situation where he was left unprotected.

No one had the time to pay attention to him at that moment, so naturally no one could protect him.

"If you could have held back, that would have given me confidence that you could persevere. Unfortunately, you couldn't."

Amidst the mournful cries, the nascent life force within Yun Yan was extinguished, and his flame of life gradually dimmed.

In a daze, he seemed to hear that playful, light laughter again, filled with amusement and satisfaction.

Then, Yun Yan leaned back in her wheelchair and closed her eyes.
