Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 63 A Thousand Faces and Myriad Manifestations, Yet No Escape from the Heavenly Eye

Lian Shanxin had not yet realized that Akihito had already woken up.

On the contrary, some of the students who were watching noticed Akihito's expression.

"Judging from this reaction, it seems that he has really learned the demonic sect's techniques."

“After all, ‘Thousand Faces’ has been lurking in the academy for many years and has made many achievements in teaching and educating people. It’s normal for him to cultivate a few confidants.”

"Hey, isn't this the prince from the land of cherry blossoms?"

"People from Japan? It's perfectly normal for them to collude with the evil cult."

"Indeed, the people of Sakura are ignorant and always think that the demonic sect's techniques are all good things. They don't know that the demonic sect is hunted down in our Great Yu."

"In Sakura, they don't call it the Demonic Sect, they call it the Holy Sect."

Lian Shanxin unexpectedly discovered that the students of Bailudong Academy had a very strong ability to learn.

Moreover, they all spoke very arrogantly, completely disregarding Japan.

After thinking about it, it's reasonable that Yu the Great, who ruled for thousands of years, made the surrounding small countries so powerful that they couldn't even raise their heads. It's understandable that the country was so large and the people so proud.

When you're strong, are you going to be arrogant or feel inferior?

Seeing that his classmates were all so understanding, Lian Shanxin was very happy and became even more polite to them.

Seeing how polite the people from "Nine Heavens" were, the students watching were also very happy and became even more polite to Lian Shanxin.

“My lord, after the ‘Thousand Faces’ incident, I carefully studied the movements of the Demonic Cult and found that they did indeed show signs of moving overseas.”

"Yes, last year I had a duel with a Japanese man and found that although his swordsmanship was called the Cherry Blossom Swordsmanship, it was very similar to the Demonic Swordsmanship of the Demonic Sect."

"Huh, is that so?"

Lian Shanxin was truly pleasantly surprised this time.

I'll just say I'm a genius at solving cases.

He was born with a pair of divine eyes and never slandered anyone.

Lian Shanxin accepted all the leads reported by his classmates.

This is the power of the people.

"Thank you all for providing the clues. Once we at 'Nine Heavens' have verified the information, we will definitely give you an explanation. But don't worry, with Lord 'Heavenly Sword' here, the Demonic Sect can't cause any trouble, nor will it affect the normal teaching at the academy."

Lianshan Xin did not forget to make Zhang Aniu famous.

Everyone liked listening to Lian Shanxin's words, since they were reassuring.

Some of the bolder students took the initiative to ask, "Sir, what are the ways to join 'Nine Heavens'?"

Lian Shanxin asked, "Don't you mind that our name 'Nine Heavens' doesn't sound good?"

The student didn't take it seriously: "Only those who can't get into 'Nine Heavens' criticize 'Nine Heavens'. If you can become a lackey of the imperial court, who cares about reputation? That's something only scions of noble families consider."

Lian Shanxin chuckled: "That's true. Lord 'Heavenly Sword' has only just settled in, and there are many things to deal with. But he said that once things settle down, he will recruit new people. If you're interested, it's always good to focus on practicing martial arts and studying in advance."

"Thank you sir for informing me."

Many people were immediately impressed.

If one can take the orthodox imperial examination, it is definitely better to take the orthodox imperial examination, as it is the universally recognized and righteous path.

However, the right path is too difficult and too slow.

Unless you have a good father.

But even at Bailudong Academy, it's hard to find a father like that.

So even if "Nine Heavens" has a bad reputation, it is definitely a good place to go.

Most ordinary people still seek stability, even if the jobs they get are not actually stable. However, they don't understand this until they get the job.

Lian Shanxin is now ashore and knows that "Nine Heavens" is going to do something big and uncover a major case in Jiangzhou, so he is walking on thin ice.

We will never let any evil cult members go unpunished.

...When Lian Shanxin brought Mingren back for interrogation, he happened to encounter Qi Shiyun coming out of the pass.

Qi Shiyun glanced at Mingren, who was being dragged around by Lian Shanxin like a dead dog, and asked, somewhat bewildered, "Who is this?"

Lian Shanxin explained, "The heir of a prince in the Sakura Kingdom is named Akihito."

"The royal family of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom?" Qi Shiyun realized.

Lian Shanxin nodded.

Qi Shiyun's gaze turned strange: "You acted so quickly? You're quite good at choosing targets. Our royal family of Yu the Great has a prominent status, so it's indeed difficult to target them. It's much less risky to target the royal families of these small countries. Why didn't I think of that before?"

At this point, Qi Shiyun slapped her thigh, expressing her deep regret.

She went straight for the Crown Prince back then; that was too reckless.

Lian Shanxin realized that Qi Shiyun had misunderstood him and explained, "Qi Tanhua, I suspect that he is colluding with the demons of the Demonic Sect."

"Huh? Really? I thought you were deliberately framing him and using him as a practice subject."

Qi Shiyun felt a little ashamed for a moment.

I realized I had been being petty.

Lian Shanxin was furious: "Qi Tanhua, do you think I'm the kind of person who would put personal matters before public duty? At most, I'll investigate and find out if he's colluding with the Demonic Sect before using him for training. I will never implicate the innocent."

"Well done, is there any evidence?"

Lian Shanxin said solemnly, "Yes, he stepped out of the door with his left foot first."

Qi Shiyun: "?"

"Furthermore, I suspect he has practiced demonic arts."

Qi Shiyun finally grasped the key point in Lian Shan's letter: "Doubt?"

“It’s suspicion now, but we’ll have evidence soon. Mingren, will you confess on your own, or will I torture you until you confess?” Lian Shanxin asked directly.

Emperor Akihito cried out that he was wronged.

Lian Shanxin didn't waste any words and took Mingren on a tour of Xingfang in "Jiutian".

Seeing that Mingren's face had turned completely pale, Lian Shanxin spoke again: "Mingren, you are a member of the Sakura royal family. Even if you have ties to the Demonic Sect, the Sakura royal family and 'Nine Heavens' have the means to negotiate, so you still have a chance. But if you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being ruthless. When you fought me just now, your true energy circulation already exposed your background. Our 'Nine Heavens' understanding of the Demonic Sect's techniques far exceeds your imagination."

Akihito took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and maintain the dignity of the Sakura Imperial Family.

By this time, he had figured out why he had been exposed. Since he had lost, he couldn't continue being a clown.

"It was the leakage of the 'Thousand Faces' martial arts dharma form that led to the 'Myriad Manifestations True Qi' being mastered by you, right?"

Lianshanxin: "?"

Qi Shiyun was also taken aback; this fellow actually cultivated the "Thousand Faces" "Myriad Manifestations True Qi".

However, the "Myriad Manifestations True Qi" cultivated by "Thousand Faces" can simulate 98% of the true qi in the world. After entering the True Meaning Realm, it can also simulate 98% of the true meaning of martial arts in the world.

That's why there's the saying "a thousand faces and ten thousand appearances, impossible to guard against," which is also the secret weapon that allows "a thousand faces" to perfectly disguise themselves as others without being discovered.

Among the four elders of the Demonic Sect, "Thousand Faces" is not the strongest, but he has always been the most mysterious and unpredictable.

Qi Shiyun never expected that the Sakura royal family had actually cultivated the "Myriad Manifestations True Qi".

She couldn't understand how Lian Shanxin had discovered "Myriad Manifestations True Qi," which could perfectly simulate other true qi.

Is he really that perceptive?

Mingren looked at Lian Shanxin, trying to salvage his last shred of dignity: "Exposing this secret is not my fault, but Heaven's will to destroy me. Lian Shanxin, don't think you've won."

Lian Shanxin killed him by attacking his spirit: "Fool, I was just bluffing."

Akihito: "??? No, it must be 'Thousand Faces' that leaked the Myriad Manifestations True Qi, it must be!"

This was his final, desperate scream as he broke down in his last moments.

　I just topped the new book charts today, and my editor told me I'd been reported because of the number preceding "Xin Gongzi" (a popular online author)... I'm speechless. Why bother? If you report a joke, I can just stop using it; it won't affect the plot. Besides being annoying, it's completely useless. My genre is perfectly safe. Spend more time thinking about your own books; reporting others won't get you anywhere.
