The square is quiet, occasionally accompanied by some murmurs.
Under the illumination of the firelight, a person is clearly seen sitting upright inside tent No. 1, practicing breathing exercises, with spiritual energy swirling around and pouring into the tent.
An arrow shot through the air, from behind a giant stone to tent number one, just ten meters away. In less than half a breath's time, the arrow could tear through the tent and burst in.
Each tent was not large, could only accommodate one person, and when arrows came flying in, there was no room to dodge.
"Hah!"
A small hole appeared in the tent, and an arrow pierced through it, entering the figure sitting cross-legged inside. A muffled groan was heard, followed by a slow collapse of the body.
The young man in black had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, this bow was truly a spiritual instrument, and over the years, he had secretly killed many disciples, each time doing so without being detected.
Like a black cat, the shadow disappeared into the night and entered the forest three miles away.
"How is it?" Xue Pinzhi surprisingly had not left and was still waiting here.
Even without the master's order, if Liu Wuxie had spoken out of turn this afternoon, he would have tried every means to kill him.
Can't wait until tomorrow, overnight find someone to use assassination way, assassinate Liu Wuxie, can be said to be extremely vicious.
"Don't worry, I saw him fall with my own eyes. My arrow is coated with deadly poison, and as long as it scratches the skin a little, he will definitely die."
The young man in black patted his chest and repeatedly guaranteed that at a distance of ten meters, he could see clearly the arrow piercing through the body inside.
"Alright, alright! I'll arrange for you to enter the advanced class of Xuanzi tomorrow!"
Xue Pinzhi nodded repeatedly with a look of satisfaction on his face, finally killing this son and completing the family master's order.
He had a conflict with Liu Wuxie during the day and was not suitable for taking action, so he could only borrow from others.
Liu Wuxie's death will inevitably lead to his head being investigated. He doesn't want to get entangled too much, so using someone else's knife to kill him is the most suitable solution.
"Thanks a lot, Master Xue!"
The man in black was very happy, his qualifications were not good, he had been in the Imperial Academy for two years, and it was hard to get from the lowest class of the primary class to the highest class of the primary class. He always wanted to enter the advanced class to cultivate and enjoy better resources and treatment than the primary class.
The two of them parted ways quickly. Xue Pinzhi went back along the original path to his dormitory, while the young man in black darted off in another direction. The two did not live together.
At this time, a figure emerged from behind a large tree in the distance, with a faint cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Xue Pinzhi, you really are not giving up!" That faint evil smile, if Xue Pinzhi saw it, would have thought he was seeing a ghost.
In a flash, he caught up with the man in black, and between the rabbit's start and the crow's fall, he passed through the dense forest. In front of him, lights gradually lit up, and he was about to enter the dormitory area.
"Who!"
The man in black was very vigilant and suddenly stopped in his tracks, discovering that someone was following him. He held a crossbow, aiming at the dark area, ready to shoot as soon as anyone appeared.
A strange shadow, without warning, suddenly appeared behind the man in black, and with a slap of his palm, the man in black fell to the ground, unconscious.
A green figure emerged, grabbed the black-clad man's shoulder and jumped away from this area. This place will have disciples patrolling at night to avoid leaving any clues.
Seizing the black-robed man, they traversed through the Imperial Academy's grounds and entered a desolate mountain range. Only then did he discard the black-robed man onto the ground, slapping his hand down to seal off his dantian, rendering his true energy unusable.
After waiting for about a cup of tea time, the man in black slowly came to, touched the back of his head, as if he had been hit by a blunt object, and suddenly fainted.
"Where is this?"
Waking up at the first time, I found myself lying in a strange place, surrounded by tall trees, without even a bird shadow, should have left the Imperial Academy long ago.
He quickly sat up with a start, circulated his true energy, only to find that he didn't have any strength at all, and fell back down weakly.
"Who is it!"
The man in black was not stupid, and he already knew that someone had knocked him out and brought him here. He quickly calmed down, sat back in his original position with difficulty, and his eyes scanned around for something.
After searching around, I finally landed on a giant stone not far away, because there was a person sitting on it, with legs swinging in the air and a dry grass in his mouth, unable to see his face clearly.
"Unexpectedly woke up quickly!"
The man in blue didn't get up, still sitting on the boulder, his voice a bit childish, sounding like he wasn't very old, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.
The face is indistinct, surrounded by complete darkness, and can only be seen with the help of a faint light, where the legs are swaying.
"You... who are you, anyway? Why did you bring me here? Do you know that this is the Imperial Academy? I'm a student of the Imperial Academy's Xuanzi class. If anything happens to me, the academy will definitely investigate."
The man in black was somewhat flustered and decided to use the college's name to intimidate him, so he could let him go.
He was knocked unconscious without warning, this kind of person is too terrifying, I'm afraid only the instructors at the academy can do it, or those top students.
"You rushed here in the middle of the night to kill me just because Xue Pinzhi promised you could enter the advanced class if you did?"
The man in green was indeed Liu Wuxie, who had slid down from the big stone and stood in front of the man in black. The latter looked as if he had seen a ghost. Although he did not recognize Liu Wuxie, he was very clear about who was to be killed tonight.
"Impossible, didn't I already shoot you down with an arrow? I saw you fall with my own eyes."
The man in black was terrified, his eyes filled with fear, how could this be, had he come back from the dead?
"Who told you that the one sitting inside the tent is definitely me?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Liu Wuxie's mouth.
He won't give up until he achieves his goal, and he will definitely send someone to assassinate at night.
As he had expected, Xue Pinzhi indeed sent someone to kill him with arrows. He was already prepared for this and it was even simpler for him to kill the person inside the tent, Feng Bingquan.
"You... you're still a student of the Imperial Academy. If you dare to kill me, the academy will investigate and you'll definitely be punished. I advise you to let me go, and I won't mention tonight's events to anyone."
The man in black is right, Liu Wuxie is not yet a student of the Imperial Academy, and can only be considered a formal member after passing the assessment.
At this time, killing the Imperial Academy students would definitely violate the academy's rules. If investigated and found out to be his doing, he would at least be expelled from the academy, or worse, have his cultivation ruined.
Fighting is generally prohibited within the school, some fights may not be explicitly forbidden, but killing is absolutely not allowed.
Murder in secret is another matter altogether. Every year, a large number of students die unnatural deaths at the academy. If they really investigate, it will probably take until the end of time to get to the bottom of it.
"Tell me, what else does Xue Pinzhi plan to do with me?" Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold.
Know yourself and know your enemy, you can win every battle. This assessment, Xue Pinzhi will participate, and there will definitely be many traps set up again. He must do a good job of prevention.
Joining the Imperial Academy is a matter of great importance, and the Xue family will definitely send a strong expert to guard outside the academy. As long as he is eliminated, they will immediately send someone to kill him.
"This I don't know, he found me and only told me to assassinate you tonight, there were no other instructions." The man in black replied truthfully.
Liu Wuxie nodded, and the man in black did not lie.
For Xue Pinzhi, Liu Wuxie is already dead now. Tomorrow's assessment, naturally there are no plans to come and deal with him again.
"I've said all I need to say, can you let me go now?" The man in black looked at Liu Wuxie with a pained expression.
He doesn't want to die yet, and even if he dies in this deep mountain and old forest, it would be a pointless death.
Even if the college avenges him, he's already dead, what's the use? As long as he can survive, he'd be willing to kneel down and kowtow.
"Let you go?" Liu Wuxie's eyebrow twitched, waiting for him to go back and spread the news? Unless Liu Wuxie had gone crazy.
With a sweep of his short sword, the black-robed man's body slowly fell to the ground, transforming into a human skin, and the essence within was completely absorbed by Liu Wuxie.
Killed cleanly, without leaving any clues, even if the college investigates, they won't be able to find a single lead.
Ignite the spark, human skin turns into ashes, just like evaporating in the mortal world, everything is done well, only then return to the martial arts arena.
After a sleepless night, the sky was already slightly bright, and many people had woken up from their cultivation and walked out of their tents, stretching their muscles to welcome today's assessment.
"Strange, where did Feng Bingquan's body go?"
Everyone came out and found that where Feng Bingquan lay down yesterday, only a blood stain was left, and the person was gone.
Everyone gathered around, discussing it in hushed tones, did something happen again last night?
"Look at that little guy, how he's sitting on a big rock practicing."
In the distance, a giant boulder had a cyan figure sitting on it, practicing breathing exercises and absorbing the rolling spiritual energy. The density of spiritual energy in the Imperial Academy was several times that of Canglang City.
Cultivating in this place, a top-notch Xian City, every moment of Liu Wuxie's true energy is rapidly increasing.
An ordinary person would have long broken through the boundary, but his Taihuadan Tian was unusual, and swallowing so much spiritual energy only improved a little.
"He is practicing outside, then who is inside the tent?"
Through the tent, I can see someone lying inside. The face is unclear, only a vague outline can be seen.
Bai Yu and Yu Yi Fan walked out of the tent, the noise outside woke them up.
More and more people walked out of the tent, facing the morning sun, letting out a long whistle, after a night of practice, each person was full of energy.
There was a brave man, in the morning, without any evil intentions, walked past the willow tree, pulled open the curtain, and inside lay a person, covered in fresh blood, with an arrow shaft protruding from his neck.
"Ah!"
The man who lifted the curtain let out a cry of surprise and stumbled backward.
"It's... it's Feng Bingquan, he was murdered."
The man spoke incoherently and retreated ten steps back before stopping.
"Cut the crap, we know Feng Bingkun was murdered and it happened last night."
Everyone rolled their eyes wildly, last night Liu Wuxie killed Feng Bingquan with one knife, no need for them to remind.
"I'm saying, Feng Bingquan was killed by an arrow."
What I just said wasn't clear, so let me reorganize my words and describe what I saw.
"It's strange, how did Feng Bingquan enter his tent, and who mysteriously used arrows to kill them?"
Everyone racked their brains but couldn't figure out what had happened last night.
"You're saying, could it be that someone wanted to kill that kid last night and Feng Bingquan became the scapegoat?"
Someone suddenly lowered their voice and whispered.
