This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 357 - 79, Day 10_2

Li Fei named his newly created Force.

High-level Force is built upon the foundation of the original Force by merging a variety of Innate Qi, causing a qualitative change in the original Force.

Li Fei had fought many Martial Artists at the Tao Foundation Stage with high-level Forces and believed that his Vajra Blood Demon Power was no less inferior to those high-level Forces.

With this, the Green-faced Ghost King had acquired a new technique.

Li Fei stood up, took a bath, changed into new clothes, and then set out to destroy all the traces left on the wall by the Vajra Blood Demon Power.

Although this would mean paying extra compensation, at least it would leave no clues.

Nothing else, just caution.

He activated the mechanism inside the chamber, causing the steel wall to rise slowly.

Li Fei stepped out of the secret chamber, concluding his ten-day-long seclusion.

As soon as he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, a man wearing a lecturer’s robe quickly approached him:

“Student Li Fei, Professor Wen Ke asked me to wait for you here. She said that as soon as you finished your seclusion, you should go find her immediately, she has something very important.”

“Professor Wen has something very important for me?”

Li Fei was taken aback, then nodded, “I understand, thank you.”

Afterward, he went to cancel the rental of his secret chamber and then headed straight for the Academic Affairs Building.

“Professor Wen, you wanted to see me?”

Moments later, Li Fei knocked on the door of Wen Ke’s office.

“You’ve finished your seclusion? Come in and have a seat.”

Wen Ke’s voice was as gentle as ever, but her eyes had a complex look as she gazed at Li Fei.

“Shangguan Xiao has been imprisoned.”

Once Li Fei was seated, Wen Ke directly announced the news.

Li Fei abruptly looked up at Wen Ke, his eyes growing cold, “What did you say?!”

Wen Ke was startled.

In that instant, she sensed a terrifying Slaughter Heart emanating from Li Fei, as if she could hear the tremble of a sharp and unparalleled sword concealed in its sheath!

She herself was very adept at concealing her own killing intent; the stark contrast from when she taught in class was still fresh in Li Fei’s memory.

But she realized that Li Fei seemed to hide it even better.

Ordinarily, he appeared to be the epitome of righteousness, obviously a good kid who was honest, polite, and upright.

But once truly enraged, the intensity of his killing intent unleashed would be astonishing!

Li Fei quickly calmed his emotions.

Having comprehended the Slaughter Heart, his control over his killing intent had become as natural as breathing.

“Professor Wen, what happened? Who dares to imprison an Imperial Official?”

Li Fei asked.

There was something he didn’t say: With the Green-faced Ghost King’s influence soaring in Datong Prefecture, who would dare imprison his ally?

“It was the Government of Datong Prefecture. Currently, Shangguan Xiao is detained in the Zhi Ge General Hospital,” Wen Ke said calmly.

“The Government of Datong Prefecture?”

Li Fei furrowed his brow, looking at Wen Ke, “Professor Wen, what has happened outside during my seclusion?”

“A lot has happened in this time…”

Wen Ke began to recount the recent events to Li Fei.

Li Fei was shocked upon hearing of Gu Xianfeng, the Sword King’s death, and the destruction of the Iron Blade Sect.

What? Just ten days of seclusion, and the entire Iron Blade Sect was gone?

Then he heard from Wen Ke the reason for Shangguan Xiao’s detention and investigation—

“She’s accused of trying to harm Zhang Zongyang?!!”

Li Fei’s eyes widened as he looked at Wen Ke.

He had always known that some things in the world were absurd, but he hadn’t expected such an absurd thing to happen right beside him.

Shangguan Xiao had returned to Datong Prefecture City for the sake of Zhang Zongyang, doing so much to fulfill her father’s last wish. And now, she was actually arrested for being suspected of plotting against Zhang Zongyang?

Not even novels would dare to write such a twist!

“What exactly is the evidence?”

Li Fei forced himself to calm down and continued to ask.

He needed to fully understand the whole situation before taking action.

“There’s a person from the Zhang Family named Zhang Shiwei…”

Wen Ke told Li Fei all the inside information he knew.

“Zhang Shiwei started cooperating with Shangguan Xiao seven years ago… Someone who had been Shangguan Xiao’s trusted aide for over a decade stepped forward to accuse her… A large part of the resources that Qingyuan Fist Village has been obtaining over the years came through Zhang Shiwei…”

The more Li Fei heard, the colder his heart felt.

Because this meant that the person behind the scenes had started their planning over a decade ago, spending all that time to orchestrate a conspiracy and deception. How easily could such a scheme be broken?

“Using so much effort couldn’t possibly be just to target my aunt or me. There was no Green-faced Ghost over a decade ago, so the person behind this must have an even more important target.”

Li Fei quickly understood this point, and at the same time, he arrived at an answer in his mind.

“Li Fei, I hope you don’t act rashly. This matter involves not just the murder of Zhang Zongyang but many other things as well.”

Wen Ke looked into Li Fei’s eyes and said with a grave tone.

“I know.”

Li Fei nodded.

A grand Martial Arts Sect had disappeared overnight; a Martial Arts Master had died. How could this matter be simple?

“I want to see my aunt.”

Li Fei said to Wen Ke.

Wen Ke was taken aback and shook his head, “I’m afraid that will be difficult.”

“I have a heavy investment from the school on me. Since you don’t want me to act rashly, I hope the school can do me this favor and let me meet her.”

Li Fei said to Wen Ke.

With the “Vajra Seal” and the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill,” on top of the agreement previously signed, Li Fei believed those in charge at Wuda would definitely not want to watch him ruin himself in a fit of rashness.

Wen Ke was silent for a moment, then said, “I will try.”

“Thank you, Professor Wen! I’ll take my leave first.”

Li Fei stood up, bowed to Wen Ke, and then turned and left.

“Sigh.”

Watching Li Fei’s retreating figure, Wen Ke let out a sigh.

Moments later, Li Fei returned to his dormitory and made a phone call to Green-faced Manor.

“Hello?”

A deep voice came through the phone, sounding very much like the Green-faced Ghost.

Li Fei knew this was the person impersonating him, so he used the same voice and said,

“It’s me.”

He then spoke a previously agreed upon code word to prove his identity.

The other party responded with a code word.

“Tell me about what’s been happening these past days.”

Li Fei said directly.

“…”

A few minutes later, the person roughly recounted the events to Li Fei, mostly matching what Wen Ke had told him, just lacking some insider information.

“Also, the results of the large-scale transactions of Meadow Sage you had Yang Zhe look into over the past year are in.”

The ‘Green-faced Ghost’ on the other end of the phone said.

Before going into seclusion, Li Fei had asked Yang Zhe to secretly investigate any large-scale transactions involving Meadow Sage from the past year, which related to the poison found in Zhang Zongyang’s body.

Though it was now known that Zhang Shiwei was the one who had administered the poison, the origin of such a toxin capable of poisoning a Martial Artist at the Tao Foundation Stage without a trace was still unclear.

“Tell me.”

Li Fei asked the speaker to reveal the results.

“…”

After hearing the results, Li Fei narrowed his eyes.

“I understand, disappear for now. Leave the rest to me.”

Li Fei said.
