Demon Sword Immortal

The man's voice carried a hint of laughter, as well as a strong sense of confidence.

[Furthermore, he has always been at odds with the people of the Jade Bright Sword Path, and also has a dark history of colluding with the Righteous Path.]

[Who can blame Fang Xiaochun for loving his daughter so much...]

[This is a sound strategy; it should keep them busy for a while.]

……

Meanwhile, Bai Xiang, accompanied by Ma Bolan, had already arrived outside the experimental building.

Standing still and looking up, the entire building was shrouded in a thin layer of mist. Many teachers and security guards, who hadn't even bothered to open their umbrellas, were setting up a cordon around the perimeter.

No one spoke; only the sound of rain cascading down the ground could be heard.

Footsteps approached, and Bai Xiang turned around to see a lean, tall, middle-aged man with high cheekbones walking towards him, accompanied by Gao Feng.

“Principal,” Ma Bolan nodded to the man, “I’ve brought Bai Xiang with me.”

"Hmm." Zhang Longze made a nasal sound, raising his eyes to stare intently at Bai Xiang, his gaze so sharp it was as if he wanted to etch her image and expression into his own.

Bai Xiang remained silent, letting him look at her.

"Inspector Han has already led his men inside."

After watching for a while, Zhang Longze nodded and sighed.

"Of the more than twenty sword practitioners, only one came to their aid without any warning..."

"I know everyone has their own difficulties, but still, I feel quite uncomfortable..."

"We've gone off on a tangent." He straightened his expression and smiled at Bai Xiang.

"I have always admired Brother Bai's character, and the disciples he taught have indeed shown chivalrous spirit."

"Principal Zhang is short-staffed."

Bai wanted to look at him.

"Is it because the Demon Pool is exceptionally dangerous?"

“I won’t hide it anymore.” Zhang Longze shook his head. “The Demon Pool wouldn’t have been switched and sent to the school for no reason. There’s someone planning this behind the scenes. They might very well be trying to murder a student.”

"Students in the laboratory building?"

The teachers were taken aback for a moment, then realized what they meant: "...Students from the experimental class?"

There are 10 classes in one grade at No. 1 Middle School, but there is also an experimental class in addition to the 10 classes, with a completely independent teaching schedule.

This class has nothing to do with swordplay and martial arts; it follows the path of arts and sciences competitions. Classes are not held in the teaching building, but hidden in the laboratory building.

So complicated?

Bai frowned.

She always plans before she acts.

The nemesis of the Demon Pool is the will of the sword, which is the awakened mental image within the inner landscape of the human body.

Her mental state was clearly different from that of ordinary people, and with two senior inspectors, Han Li and Zhao Xiaoqin, leading the way, she felt somewhat confident.

But what if someone else is orchestrating this behind the scenes...?

It's hard to say whether there will be other dangers besides the Demon Pool.

"Does anyone know who it is?" Ma Bolan asked.

Zhang Longze shook his head.

"How many people are there?"

Still shaking his head.

"You didn't even know that? You dared to let Inspector Han and his men in?" Ma Bolan felt like he was going crazy. "Shouldn't you have called the police first and waited for more people to arrive?"

He didn't understand; it shouldn't take more than ten minutes, right?

"Because the situation is quite urgent."

Zhang Longze's tone grew increasingly somber.

"That student's name is Fang Wenya."

"Her father's name is Fang Xiaochun."

This left all the listeners speechless.

Including Bai Xiang.

Because she also remembered that the name had appeared in the news many times.

Fang Xiaochun, courtesy name Xianzhang, was a Taoist priest from Yujing in Jingzhou, Dayu.

This person traveled a long distance from Yujing to Qiyun more than two years ago.

He received the seal of Heaven.

He was appointed Governor of Qizhou.

Chapter Twelve: Inside the Laboratory Building (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

Wearing the black stab-proof vest that he had brought from the kendo dojo, Bai tried to stretch his body.

The stab-proof vest is similar in style to a hoodie, and it also has a hood. It feels like a waterproof fabric.

After putting it on, I felt no restriction on my movements, and I was ready to set off.

Yes, after some thought, she still decided to go into the laboratory building to take a look.

On the one hand, they received accurate intelligence that Chen Jing was one of the students who had gone missing in the laboratory building.

On the other hand, if they could also rescue the noblewoman of the Fang family, the current predicaments facing the Divine Cry Sword Path would naturally be resolved.

Risk and return are directly proportional.

With someone helping to take the lead, if she still hesitates, what's the point of practicing swordsmanship in this life?

"and many more!"

Zhang Longze called out to her from behind.

Bai wanted to turn around, but he caught a glimpse of Gao Feng running over, holding a strip of black cloth in his hand.

Zhang Longze took the strip of cloth, peeled it off, and revealed a two-foot-long short sword hidden in its sheath.

"This sword is called 'Dingbo'. It is not a famous sword, but it was a gift I received when I first came to No. 1 Middle School."

Zhang Longze handed over the short sword.

"What you're about to do is too dangerous. If you absolutely have to go, take this with you."

Bai Xiang looked down at the sword.

The dark blue-green handguard connects to the hilt, and the sword pommel is engraved with a lion motif.

The scabbard is also bluish-black, about 4 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters long, and exudes an ancient and rustic feel.

She took the sword and felt it was much heavier than the cloud-patterned wooden sword.

Bai drew his sword, confirmed that it was sharpened, and sheathed it. He then inserted it upside down into the stab-proof vest with a special clasp for storing swords. He nodded to Zhang Longze and the others, and stepped into the rain.

"That's all we can do."

Watching her walk into the laboratory building lobby, Zhang Longze shook his head and sighed.

“I’ve made all the calls.” Ma Bolan walked over to him and reported, “Quite a few people… have changed their stories after learning the inside story.”

"With the addition of people from the Inspection Department, there will be at least fifty new disciples."

"What's the point of saying all this now!" Zhang Longze snorted heavily.

"Fang Xiaochun hates sycophants the most. Otherwise, why would he allow his daughter to study at Chilong University while concealing her identity?"

“Principal…” Gao Feng was quite displeased with this matter, “Why…”

“Someone called me after the incident, and that’s how I found out who the girl was.” Zhang Longze said with a dark face, “This Fang Xianzhang…”

"Now we can only hope that his daughter is also protected by someone, and that with Inspector Han and Bai Xiang, we can delay until reinforcements arrive."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the entire Crimson Dragon Path, and even the entire Qi Province, will probably be turned upside down..."

On the other side, in the lobby on the first floor of the laboratory, Bai Xiang, carrying the 'Dingbo Sword' on her back and holding her own cloud-patterned wooden sword, was surveying the situation on the first floor while recalling the information about the demon pool provided to her by the school.

Zhang Longze was undoubtedly the first to receive the bad news. According to his description, the first person affected by the Demon Pool was the teacher in charge of testing the poisonous water, named Luo Yu.

The laboratory building has seven floors. Luo Yu was found in the chemistry laboratory on the fourth floor.

When they found him, he was already dead, and his death was extremely gruesome. His skin and flesh had peeled off as if they had dissolved, leaving only a bloody skeleton sitting in front of the table.

But strangely, more than one eyewitness had provided information before this, saying that they saw Luo Yu wearing a raincoat going shopping in the cafeteria.

At the scene where Luo Yu died, there happened to be a raincoat lying on the ground at the entrance of the laboratory, and three lunch boxes next to it, with food scattered everywhere.

"After that, more than half of the people who said they had seen Luo Yu, including the cafeteria staff who served him food, experienced similar situations."

"That is, they were inexplicably found lying on the roadside as bloody skeletons, but at the same time, several pieces of clothing that were soaked by the rain appeared in other places nearby."

The Demon Pool exhibits bizarre and powerful propagation characteristics.

That's why it was necessary to evacuate the crowd quickly and decisively.

Grandpa initially suggested three possibilities, but he thought the most likely cause was the demon pool. He certainly didn't expect that two of his guesses would come true.

There really was an important figure hidden in No. 1 Middle School.

While pondering, Bai Xiang sat down against the wall.

She kept a close eye on her surroundings while quickly taking off her shoes and socks, wringing out the water from her socks, and drying out her shoes.

The soles are non-slip.

In a critical moment, she didn't want her feet to slip inside her shoes.

"If I hadn't transmigrated here, the original owner would have died quietly in her single dormitory room, and the news wouldn't have been passed on."

"By the time Fang Wenya returns to her dormitory at night, the entire dormitory building will probably have turned into a ghost town."

"Even if the original owner discovered the problem, it would have happened around noon or in the afternoon. The kettle would have been sent for testing immediately, and Fang Wenya was in class at that time, so she would most likely still have been caught off guard."

"That's so thoughtful..."

"They're willing to drag so many people into this just to kill one person."

"They're probably after the governor, or maybe even the imperial family."

As Bai Xiang tried to piece together the events, he increasingly felt that he might have inadvertently become involved in... the struggle against the officials of the Great Yu Dynasty.

I don't want to think about that right now.

After putting her wrung-out cotton socks back on, Bai Xiang took a couple of steps, put on her shoes, and looked at the elevator in the middle of the lobby on the first floor.

……

Meanwhile, on the sixth floor of the experimental building, on the other side of the corridor, a dozen or so people, led by two black-clad inspectors, were stumbling and fleeing into the corridor.

"Quick!"

With one hand gripping the electric mace and the other clinging to the door, Han Li whispered to everyone to hurry up and urge them to hide in an empty classroom.

Just as the last person tried to come in, Han Li caught a glimpse of two bare legs beneath his oversized coat.

"you!"

He held the man's electric mace horizontally and stopped him, sternly ordering, "Open your coat."

"Inspector Han?"

The man, a fair-skinned boy, trembled as he heard this: "What are you trying to do, blocking my way outside? Those things are catching up... Hurry! Let me in!!"

But his response was a brandished electric mace.

This weapon, which can extend and emit electricity, is effective against the monsters and monstrous creatures of the Demon Pool, but is not fatal to humans. Han Li readily began experimenting with it.

"what--!"

The boy was struck in the waist with an electric hammer, and let out a shrill scream. His face suddenly became transparent under the stimulation of the electric current, and his entire body evaporated in an instant.
