68: Chapter 68 Zhao Kailai's Bloodbath at the Apocalypse Guild
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Jiang Ling still hadn't come out.
Ye Honglian, Lu Shengnan, and the others waited at the entrance, never leaving for a single step.
On the third day, Principal came out from inside.
"Principal, where is Jiang Ling?"
Ye Honglian jumped up all of a sudden, rushing forward to grab Principal's hand and asking urgently.
Principal glanced at Ye Honglian, then at Lu Shengnan and the others, shook his head, and left quietly without saying a word.
"What?"
Everyone stood frozen on the spot.
Had Jiang Ling really fallen inside?
"Impossible... impossible..."
Ye Honglian burst into tears on the spot.
"Principal, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
"Jiang Ling couldn't have just died like that!"
Principal's body paused for a moment, and he let out a long sigh, yet he still didn't speak.
For a student who had broken the academy records consecutively, how could his heart not ache for such a favored child of heaven?
But...
The path of a Genius's growth was just like this.
How many brilliant Geniuses had perished halfway?
The growth of a powerhouse required not only superb talent but also great Luck by one's side.
To be able to turn danger into safety time and time again!
Principal had seen many students fall midway in his life; every time was heart-wrenching, but there was nothing he could do.
This is life.
Lu Shengnan and the others also began to sob quietly.
It was truly a pity for such a super Genius like Jiang Ling to fall just like that.
Soon, the news of Jiang Ling's fall spread throughout the entire academy.
For a moment, the whole of Magic Capital University was in an uproar.
Jiang Ling's stunning performance in the Freshman Competition a few days ago was still fresh in everyone's minds, and yet, in just a few days, Jiang Ling had fallen?
This was simply too unexpected.
Everyone felt a great sense of regret!
Tianqi Guild.
Jiang Churan was also stunned when she heard the news of Jiang Ling's fall.
"This is the consequence of being conceited!"
After a long while, Jiang Churan shook her head.
"If you weren't so conceited, and knew how to submit, how to yield, and how to recognize your own limits, you wouldn't have died on the Sky Ladder!"
"This was caused by your personality; being too rigid makes one easy to break!"
"Even if you didn't die here, you would have fallen somewhere else sooner or later!"
"Originally, you could have become an important part of our Jiang Family's revival, assisting Jiang Ting to establish an eternal clan!"
"In the end, you fell just after arriving here. It's truly a case of being angry at your lack of ambition and mourning your misfortune!"
...
Regarding Jiang Ling's death, Jiang Churan still felt very regretful.
Although there wasn't much sibling affection between her and Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling was still a member of the Jiang Family after all.
Moreover, with Jiang Ling's talent, if he were willing to return to the Jiang Family, he would have provided a huge supporting role for the family.
She took out her phone and notified Jiang Haoyan and Grandfather Jiang Wei of the matter.
Jiang Haoyan showed no emotional fluctuations regarding Jiang Ling's death, acting very indifferent.
In his eyes, it was better for such a rebellious son to be dead!
Grandfather Jiang Wei also felt regret for Jiang Ling's death, but it was only regret.
Between him and Jiang Ling, there was no grandfather-grandson affection either.
Guild Master Huangfu Hao frowned slightly when he learned of Jiang Ling's fall and said indifferently, "What a pity he didn't die by my hand!"
He had to punish anyone who disobeyed him!
This was his principle!
He wanted everyone to know that he was a high and mighty existence that could not be defied!
Jiang Ling's death like this meant the dignity he had lost could not be recovered.
It was very regrettable!
But he didn't need to bother arguing with a dead man.
Jiang Ling was just a small interlude on his path in life.
A few years later, he might not even remember who Jiang Ling was.
Ye Honglian returned to Jiang Ling's villa in a daze. Seeing that Jiang Ling's daily items were still there but the person was gone, her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
Just then, her bracelet rang.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher has come out of seclusion!"
Ye Honglian's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable.
"Teacher, Jiang Ling... something happened to Jiang Ling!"
Ye Honglian sobbed uncontrollably.
In less than a minute, Zhao Kailai arrived at Jiang Ling's villa.
"Is this... true?"
Zhao Kailai's eyes were solemn; he still didn't believe that Jiang Ling could be dead.
"It's true!"
Ye Honglian sobbed, "Principal confirmed it personally!"
"Jiang Ling entered the Creation Secret Realm Sky Ladder and has been there for three days without any news!"
"Originally, he had already broken the academy's highest record of forty-nine floors, but he insisted on continuing to climb higher!"
"In the end... he couldn't come out!"
Zhao Kailai let out a long sigh to the heavens.
Since ancient times, many Geniuses have been envied by the heavens!
Perhaps, it was because this Disciple of his was too much of a Prodigy, so he was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao?
"Tell me about what happened to him during this time!"
Zhao Kailai sat down dejectedly on the sofa.
He hadn't been a good teacher!
If he hadn't been in seclusion, he would have definitely warned him not to push himself too hard.
That way, such a tragedy would not have occurred!
Ye Honglian told Zhao Kailai everything that had happened recently.
"Tianqi Guild?"
When Zhao Kailai heard Ye Honglian talk about the Tianqi Guild's suppression of Jiang Ling, even directly letting the level 35 Dong Fang take action to cripple Jiang Ling, he instantly became furious.
A burst of Saber Qi soared into the sky from Zhao Kailai's body, and Jiang Ling's villa was directly split in half.
"What a Tianqi Guild, daring to bully my Disciple like this while I was away!"
"The reason Jiang Ling insisted on continuing to climb the Sky Ladder must also be because of the pressure the Tianqi Guild put on him!"
"In the final analysis, it was this Tianqi Guild that harmed Jiang Ling!"
...
Zhao Kailai unhesitatingly blamed all the mistakes on the Tianqi Guild.
He stood up and strode toward the outside.
"Teacher, where are you going?"
"To avenge your Junior Brother!"
Zhao Kailai had also already Cultivated the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps cracked by Jiang Ling. He walked like the wind and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Tianqi Guild in Magic Capital University.
Zhao Kailai was bursting with rage, his Killing Intent overflowing. When the students nearby saw him, they all scrambled to hide far away.
If they got even slightly close, their clothes were torn by the Saber Qi on Zhao Kailai's body, and even bloodstains appeared on their skin one after another.
"Who... who is this?"
"So full of Killing Intent, what is he going to do?"
"This is Zhao Kailai, the Dean of the Weaponry Academy. It seems he's going to find trouble with the Tianqi Guild!"
"How did the Tianqi Guild offend him?"
"Why does he want to find trouble with the Tianqi Guild?"
"Don't you know?"
"He is Jiang Ling's teacher!"
"The Tianqi Guild openly targeted Jiang Ling. As his teacher, he is definitely going to vent his anger for his Disciple!"
"But Jiang Ling is already dead!"
"If he's dead, then it's even more troublesome!"
"Zhao Kailai will definitely vent all the anger from losing his beloved Disciple on the Tianqi Guild!"
"Now, the Tianqi Guild is in trouble!"
