Chapter 213: The Conspiracy of the Beast God Sect!
Star Martial Police Department.
The conference room fell silent, with Liu Wushuang’s profile displayed on the screen.
All the Innate Experts had gathered, their expressions grave as they collectively turned to the Police Inspector Commander at the head of the table, awaiting his address.
“Commander, do you have anything to add?” Lin Mofeng said quietly. “My teacher and I have already shared everything we know. You should at least offer an explanation.”
“My apologies, everyone!” The Police Inspector Commander sat at the head of the table, his gaze fixed on the desktop to avoid eye contact. “I was the one who reported the news of Li Zixuan being the Sword God’s Disciple to the Envoy.”
As he spoke, he lifted his eyes to the group. “If you wish to blame me, I accept it.”
It must be understood.
The Star Martial Police Department was under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Alliance.
And when an Envoy like Liu Wushuang, holding a token, personally visited a branch, they held absolute command authority!
As the Police Inspector Commander…
Given his position, he had no choice but to follow the Supreme Alliance’s orders without the slightest hesitation.
Acting impartially, even if given another chance, he would make the same choice again.
“Let it be for now, Commander. You were in a difficult position… When Senior Wushuang arrived, you didn’t have many options,” Lin Mofeng shook his head. “Being in a high position comes with many challenges. Let’s focus on the matter at hand.”
“Mo Feng is right. What’s done is done. If you feel guilty, think carefully about how to make it up to Sword God Senior later,” Elder Li nodded in agreement. “At this point, further discussion is pointless. We should focus on finding a way to prevent that duel.”
As his words faded.
The conference room fell silent once more.
Everyone grew quiet.
Whether it was the Sword God or the Arrow God, both had shown great kindness to Jianghai City.
The former had turned the tide during the Beast Tide, while the Arrow God had personally intervened, saving the lives of every Innate Expert present.
By reason and sentiment, no one wished to see either of them harmed.
“What a mess…” Li Daoming sighed in frustration, turning to Lin Mofeng. “Why is Senior Wushuang so stubborn? No matter how you look at it, the Arrow God hasn’t provoked him, right? Why does he keep pursuing this?”
“This… there might be some hidden reason,” Lin Mofeng hesitated, recalling memories related to Senior Wushuang.
Although he couldn’t be called calm or gentle.
He belonged to the category of an old mischief-maker, not inherently evil.
He had even assisted the Lin family on several occasions.
But now, for some unknown reason.
He was persistently fixated on the Arrow God.
“If they truly fight, I fear it will be unfavorable for our Arrow God,” Elder Li stroked his white beard and sighed. “Although Senior Wushuang isn’t a tyrannical person, none of us want to see the Arrow God harmed. Moreover… he is the Jianghai Sword God’s Junior Brother.”
As these words were spoken.
The conference room fell into silence.
The revelation that the Jianghai Sword God and the Arrow God were fellow disciples was nothing short of explosive, sending a shockwave through everyone’s minds!!
No one had expected.
That the Jianghai Sword God and the Arrow God were from the same school!
“Who knows… what kind of extraordinary existence could have taught both of them?”Li Daoming gazed at the ceiling and sighed with emotion, “To possess such abilities, I’m afraid they rank above even the Emperor Sovereign, perhaps even higher… They are existences beyond our comprehension.”
Beside Li Daoming…
Li Qinghe silently listened to the ongoing discussions, and the more she heard,
the stranger her expression became.
“The Arrow God is actually a fellow disciple of Grandmaster?!”
Doesn’t that mean…
Above my Grandmaster, there’s actually a Grandmaster’s master?!!
“Impossible, right?”
Li Qinghe frowned, unable to stop her thoughts from racing.
If someone else had said this, she might have believed it.
For someone as extraordinary as Grandmaster to have an equally extraordinary master wouldn’t be unusual… and there might even be a complete sect behind them.
But!
There’s one problem!
Who is the one saying this?
It’s that guy surnamed Qin!!
“Can words coming from that scoundrel’s mouth really be trusted? Is he just bluffing again?”
Li Qinghe glanced at the electronic screen, feeling somewhat shocked. “Even daring to bluff a Supreme Realm expert… that’s way too bold…”
But upon second thought,
This is exactly something Qin Yang would do!
“Since Grandmaster isn’t dead, and that guy surnamed Qin is bluffing again, is it possible that…”
Li Qinghe continued following this train of thought.
Suddenly, a bold idea occurred to her.
“Could the Arrow God and Sword God actually be the same person?!”
At this thought,
Li Qinghe’s heart raced wildly, feeling like she was close to uncovering the truth!
Thinking carefully, this was indeed possible!
“Qin Yang knows Array Formations, swordsmanship, alchemy, artifact forging… wouldn’t it be normal for his master to know a billion techniques?!”
“In Grandmaster’s eyes, wouldn’t simple archery be as easy as breathing?!”
Reaching this point in her thoughts, Li Qinghe grew excited.
She immediately pieced together the entire story!!
You darn Qin Yang!!
Bluffing to your heart’s content, and now you’re even deceiving Supreme Realm experts.
“So it was Grandmaster who killed that Blood Path Demonkin that day…”
Li Qinghe pressed her thin lips together in excitement, barely able to contain her secret delight.
Just then,
Li Daoming beside her noticed her subtle change in expression and directly transmitted his voice:
“What’s wrong?”
His words fell
like a bucket of cold water being poured over her.
“Nothing… nothing, let’s continue the meeting.”
Li Qinghe said somewhat guiltily, “I’m still not quite used to these meetings since I just started attending.”
“Hmm…”
Li Daoming glanced at his daughter upon hearing this and said thoughtfully, “If you have any questions, you can raise them too. Now that you’ve reached the Innate Realm, you have your place here. Feel free to speak your mind.”
“Alright, Father.”
Listening to the arguments at the table, Li Qinghe slightly frowned. Continuing to argue like this wouldn’t solve anything—she needed to find a way to share some of Grandmaster’s burden.
Thinking this,
she clearly stated:
“Everyone, please calm down. I have some thoughts on this matter.”
As her words fell,
Elder Li and the others immediately quieted down, all turning their attention to her.
“No problem, Qinghe, just speak directly. No need to hold back,” Li Daoming said calmly.
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Li Qinghe didn’t hesitate and immediately continued, “Everyone, please think carefully. Actually, this duel agreement isn’t without a solution.””Since Senior Wushuang truly intends to compete with the Arrow God, we might as well make the matter public and strive to escalate it further.”
“Make it public!?”
Upon hearing this.
Elder Li and the others were momentarily stunned, unable to process the idea.
Not only were they not trying to mediate…
But to publicize it?
Wasn’t this just stirring up trouble!
After a long pause.
The Commander finally frowned and asked:
“Would making it public be somewhat unwise?”
“It’s perfectly sound, if you think about it carefully…”
Li Qinghe observed everyone’s bewildered expressions and continued guiding them, “Who is Senior Wushuang? He’s a member of the Supreme Alliance!
With that righteous identity backing him, he’s overly concerned with face. When the time comes, he definitely won’t act recklessly against the surrounding citizens…”
Before she could finish.
“Wait, I think I understand what Qinghe means!”
Li Daoming stroked his chin and chimed in, “If we’re open and honest, we can attract many spectators. And someone of Senior Wushuang’s esteemed status…
Since he belongs to the Supreme Alliance, it’s even more unlikely he would harm nearby citizens. He’s bound to exercise restraint.”
“Wouldn’t that… limit his actions against the Arrow God within a controllable range?”
Hearing this.
The Commander at the adjacent table suddenly realized:
“Excellent, this method is good. I’ll have someone take care of it later.”
The group continued discussing the details in the conference room for a while.
The assistance plan was quickly finalized.
……………
After the meeting.
The Police Inspector Commander promptly released an official announcement, 【Notice: The Jianghai Arrow God will face off against a mysterious opponent at Lishui Lake in three days】, which was rapidly reposted by multiple official media outlets.
Before long, the internet immediately erupted in excitement.
The moment this announcement spread, it instantly climbed to the top three trending searches.
【Why are they fighting again out of nowhere?】
【The Jianghai Arrow God will surely win!】
【I wonder whose archery skills are superior?】
The news spread quickly, and soon, the entire city knew about it.
“They actually made it public directly?”
Qin Yang was sitting on a small stool, idly scrolling through trending topics on his phone, quite surprised.
He had assumed the Star Martial Police Department would suppress the matter.
But now, making it public was beyond his expectations.
“Xiaobai? What do you think?”
“Xiaobai?”
No response.
Qin Yang glanced sideways toward Xiaobai’s direction.
A small fluffy fox was curled up in the corner, propping her head up, deeply engrossed in a book, completely oblivious to the outside world.
“What are you reading?”
Qin Yang stood up and walked over, “Let me see too.”
But as soon as he approached, Xiaobai turned away, clutching the book in her mouth, trying to run off.
“Master, you’re not allowed to look!”
“Running?”
Qin Yang grabbed Xiaobai by the scruff of her neck, effortlessly lifting her up, and snatched the book away.
Taking a closer look.
“An Actor Prepares”
“?”
Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, holding Xiaobai up and staring at her wide-eyed, “Why are you reading this?”
“Wasn’t it you who said it, Master?”
Xiaobai said pitifully, “You told me to practice more if I’m no good… This Fairy doesn’t want to hold you back.”
Qin Yang: “…”
………
Great Li Mountains.
Forest waves surged like an ocean.
A figure cloaked in black robes landed among the pine trees.
He overlooked the entire mountain range, his gaze sweeping over the injured Star Beasts below.
Since the Beast Tide, the mountain’s creatures had suffered heavy casualties.
“What a bunch of useless trash!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth.Another black shadow materialized, coalescing beside him and bowing to report:
“White Tiger Earth Venerable, this subordinate has just received news!”
“Liu Wushuang, the God Arrow Supreme of the Supreme Alliance, has arrived in Jianghai.”
“Oh? What is that damned archer doing here in Jianghai?”
White Tiger Earth Venerable slightly furrowed his brow, “What is the current situation in Jianghai City?”
“Reporting to Earth Venerable, according to previous intelligence.”
The black shadow whispered: “It seems he has already learned the Arrow God’s identity and has arranged to meet for a battle at Li Lake in three days.”
“Is that so… It appears this Jianghai Arrow God truly has no connection to Liu Wushuang.”
Upon hearing this, White Tiger Earth Venerable pondered while gazing toward the Jianghai urban area:
“He actually dares to kill members of our Divine Sect. When this Arrow God emerges, we absolutely cannot let him escape this time!”
