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

Chapter 227 Intrusion, Ursus
"Old Bai, don't you know you've suddenly risen to a high position?"

"So many people wanted to be your lackeys, the doorstep of the Alchemy Club was practically worn down, and then you suddenly left school."

Inside the train carriage, a screen lit up, displaying Luo Shui's frantic face.

"I'm the president of the Ordnance Society, not the Alchemy Society. You want me to manage the Alchemy Society for you? Are you kidding me!"

It was only because the logistics department of Yujing Martial Arts University arranged for Bai Ze to have a luxurious private carriage that he received; otherwise, Luo Shui's outburst of howling would have attracted a lot of attention.

Bai Ze also showed a sense of shame regarding Luo Shui's hardships, saying, "You've worked hard, Luo Shui, but I have to go this time. You know, Tao Zi is about to be buried."

Luo Shui's spiel of complaints vanished instantly, replaced by an expression that said, "I'm so damn stupid."

She's been so busy lately, quietly taking office as the head of the Ordnance Society and designing a "megaphone" for Chu Junzhao of the Lingyin Society, that she'd completely forgotten about this matter.

Hearing Bai Ze's words now, even someone as seemingly cunning as him felt an urge to slap himself.

—I deserve to die.

"Fine, consider it a debt I owe you."

Luo Shui sighed and said, "Go and see Luo Tao off on his final journey. Leave things here to me for now. I can handle some miscellaneous tasks."

"Thank you, Luoshui."

Bai Ze expressed his sincere gratitude and then said, "Also, I just received news this morning that Huo Heng has been assassinated. Have Shi Qingfeng immediately go and win over the members of the Daoist Society to prepare to temporarily assume the position of president of the Daoist Society."

"And then there's the Wenhua Society, which is further restricting their supply of pills and accelerating the loss of their members."

After Bai Ze defeated Yun Shu, the situation on the Twelve Towers underwent a dramatic change.

Although this was just a martial arts competition and wouldn't make Bai Ze dominate the 12th floor immediately, it was enough to influence the students' choice of clubs.

In just one day, a large number of new students chose to join the Alchemy Club, Astronomy Club, Muscle Club, and Chivalrous Club.

Even niche clubs like the Armory Club and the Spirit Sound Club have attracted applications to join.

Among them are students who withdrew from the martial arts club and the literary club.

It can be said that the situation between Bai Ze and Yun Shu has completely reversed within Yujing Martial Arts University.

Moreover, Huo Heng is dead.

Although it may sound disrespectful to the dead, most students will be surprised and saddened by Huo Heng's death, or even angered by his assassination, but this will not prevent any changes from occurring in the Daoist Society.

It's unlikely that a new president will appear immediately, but an acting president is still possible.

Surely Huo Heng, in heaven, wouldn't want the Taoist Society to be in such a mess because it doesn't have a president, right?

It is foreseeable that many things will happen next.

Luo Shui became increasingly dumbfounded as she listened, especially after hearing the news of Huo Heng's death. She could foresee many things that would happen next.

But if Luo Shui insisted on keeping Bai Ze, she couldn't live with herself.

That feeling of "I'm so damn stupid" lingered in my mind.

The smiling tiger usually seems carefree and ruthless towards enemies, but he can't bring himself to be ruthless towards his own people.

Even though she usually treated Bai Ze with disdain, she could never bring herself to ask him not to see Luo Tao off on his final journey.

"Aaaaaah! Go ahead, leave this to me."

In the end, she could only say in despair, "Sister had already arranged some manpower, and Chu Junzhao of Lingyin Society was also bribed by my scheme. There are no problems here for the time being, so you can go with peace of mind."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Luoshui," Bai Ze said with a smile. "When I see Yaoguang later, I'll put in a good word for you." "How dare you call Yaoguang that? Use the title 'senior sister' for me!"

With a final, furious roar, Bai Ze ended the call.

However, the light barrier did not disappear.

After Luo Shui's figure faded into the distance, what remained were intersecting paths and faces appearing and disappearing.

[Master, Yujing Martial Arts University has confirmed that the murderer came from outside the university, and suspicion has been focused on those who bet on Huo Heng.]

[The vice principal has now ordered a full-scale manhunt for Qianmian. Anyone who attempts to undermine the fairness of the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament will pay the price.]

"As expected, we should start with Thousand Faces." Bai Ze smiled upon hearing this.

Bai Ze did not alter Huo Heng's memory to show that he was killed by Qianmian, as that would have aroused suspicion.

He only needs to pinpoint the suspect to be outside the school and to focus on money, and Yu Jingwu will naturally find the most suspicious target.

However, with the Wan Yi Collection in existence, Yu Jing Wu Da could not possibly know who placed the heavy bet, or even how many people placed the heavy bet.

Therefore, the lead to directly finding the murderer has been lost.

Fortunately, there's still Qianmian.

At this point, Qianmian, the one who awakened Luo Tao, became the only clue.

The purpose of waking Luo Tao was to influence Bai Ze and cause Bai Ze to lose.

The people behind this are most likely the same group who hired people to kill Huo Heng.

The Yujing Martial Arts Tournament seized this clue and dug deeper.

"Master, should I add some clues to guide them to the arms dealer?" Luo Shu asked again.

It is now confirmed that Qianmian was hired by an arms dealer, which means that the arms dealer is Bai Ze's next target.

"The arms dealer is overseas. Can Yujing Martial Arts University kill him?" Bai Ze asked.

[The former territory of the Kingdom of Brahma also has forces supported by the Eastern Xia. They could easily annihilate this warlord, the arms dealer. The arms dealer's strength is only at the seven-star level; if an eight-star martial artist intervenes, the arms dealer will hardly survive.]

However, the possibility of intervention from other countries must also be taken into account.

On the former territory of the ancient kingdom of Brahma, a diverse mix exists, including Brahma descendants attempting to restore their kingdom, as well as forces from various other nations. Among them, the Federation and the Ursus Federation possess the strongest power; if Yujing Martial Arts University were to intervene, the Ursus Federation is more than 60% likely to follow suit.

The rest is self-evident, without needing Luo Shu to elaborate.

Given Yujing Wuda's strength, it's unlikely that the intervention of the Ursus Federation would prevent him from taking the life of a Seven-Star, but there will certainly be twists and turns.

In the end, it's quite possible that the arms dealer might actually escape with his life.

Ursus was also interested in his intrinsic value.

"Therefore, further arrangements are needed."

Bai Ze spoke calmly and ordered, "Luo Shu, connect to Ursus's network and begin the intrusion."

【Yes. 】

The changing data stream was immediately projected onto the light screen.

That's Luoshu displaying the invasion situation on the light screen, while its main body is responsible for the main invasion.
