95: Zhang will protect you for me!

Luyin's expression was ugly. She hadn't expected Yang Shuo to have such a tremendous improvement in that instant.

Especially the absolute mastery over lightning. She could feel the trembling of the Bloodthirsty Wind and Thunder Gu within her. If she hadn't been holding it back, this Bloodthirsty Wind and Thunder Gu would probably have fled.

This was the second time Luyin had felt this way since her birth. The first time was naturally from Luo Xiu.

However, now even if she was indignant, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't use any of the Wind and Thunder Pool's energy, and even if she killed those humans, her Bloodthirsty Wind and Thunder Gu wouldn't evolve.

"You are truly surprising. The moment you appeared, you completely ruined my long-held plan. You want to protect them, right? Then I will make sure to kill them, not leaving a single one alive."

Before her words finished, those Gu slaves directly attacked, intending to kill those people, but in the next moment, the lightning flood dragon had flashed before those demon beasts.

With a flick of its tail, those demon beasts were instantly sent flying. Yang Shuo also killed all the remaining demon beasts in the blink of an eye. By the time he looked up again, Luyin's figure had disappeared.

"I hope you can always protect that girl!"

Yang Shuo's eyes darkened, and he saw Gu Yanxi lying unconscious at his feet. He knew he had been tricked.

Originally, Luyin had only guessed that there was someone he cared about among this group, but with her recent probing, Yang Shuo had subconsciously moved to Gu Yanxi's side.

"Collect!"

Yang Shuo clasped his hands together, and the lightning flood dragon gradually shrunk, then slowly became only the size of a palm.

"I hope this can protect you for me!"

After speaking, the palm-sized mini flood dragon disappeared into Gu Yanxi's forehead, eventually vanishing.

"Pfft!"

After doing all this, Yang Shuo spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face visibly turned pale.

"Cough, cough, was it still too strenuous?"

Suddenly, he turned and looked in a certain direction, only to see a figure clad in black armor slowly walking towards him.

Yang Shuo walked to Gu Yanxi's front, his face showing vigilance. "Who are you?"

"Yue Shan!"

"You are 003?"

"It seems you know me!"

"What is this?"

"Part of my body separated from the Young Master just to come and see you!"

"What do you want to say?"

"Are you and 005 really going to keep fighting?"

"Hahahaha, since you've already seen it, what's there to ask?"

Yang Shuo looked at Yue Shan in front of him indignantly. "I originally had no intention of fighting, but she was being aggressive, and that person didn't explicitly forbid it, did they?"

Yue Shan remained silent. After a long time, he turned and left, but after taking a few steps, his body paused.

"Leave quickly. The experts from the Eight Great Academies and the Great Xia Military Department are coming soon. They are not someone you can resist in your current state!"

As he spoke, Yue Shan's figure disappeared. Li Mingxuan had already left when Luyin's Gu slaves were sent flying.

Although he had confirmed that the mysterious person was the Thunder Emperor, he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't attack him.

So, at the moment the battle's outcome was decided, he knew he wouldn't gain anything this time. To prevent being discovered, he withdrew early.

Finding a relatively secluded corner, Li Mingxuan recalled the scene of the two fighting just now. "Could that woman also be a Shadow Killer?"

Through the conversation between Yang Shuo and Luyin, it wasn't difficult to guess their identities, but it seemed they had already formed a considerable enmity.

As he was pondering, several powerful auras streaked across the sky without concealment. Li Mingxuan immediately rushed towards the Wind and Thunder Pool as well.

"Damn it! My Fenglei Valley's largest Wind and Thunder Pool, accumulated with decades of resources, was actually completely absorbed! Who was that damn bastard!"

As soon as Li Mingxuan approached, he heard an extremely angry voice. The roar, like a volcanic eruption, made his heart tremble.

"Investigate! This matter must be thoroughly investigated! See who has such audacity, daring to act wildly on my Military Department's territory!"

A majestic and deep voice echoed in the air, carrying unquestionable authority.

Li Mingxuan understood that the disappearance of the Wind and Thunder Pool would definitely be thoroughly investigated. At that time, he could also learn the identities of those two people.

As he approached, everyone quickly noticed Li Mingxuan's figure. After all, it was his message that had brought them here.

"Mingxuan, are you alright?"

The first to speak was Xu Qian, a teacher from Great Wall Academy. He looked at Li Mingxuan with concern.

After all, this time's news was entirely thanks to Li Mingxuan. If it weren't for his message and everyone had arrived a little later, these students' fates would be unknown. If these people really had something happen to them, they would also be held accountable.

Not to mention they were already academy prodigies protected by Great Xia, furthermore, the forces behind these people were extremely formidable.

If something happened to these students, and they, as teachers, did nothing, afterwards they might not even know how they died.

"Student Li, could you please tell us everything you know?"

The Middle-aged man who had previously demanded a thorough investigation came before Li Mingxuan with a solemn expression. "My name is Xiang Yuan, and I am the person in charge here. If Student Li can provide us with useful clues, we can offer generous compensation."

Li Mingxuan's face lit up upon hearing this. He immediately recounted everything he had seen, such as Luyin's appearance and so on.

However, he didn't reveal too much information about Yang Shuo, only saying that he was skilled in using lightning.

After all, the other party was from Shadow, and he was also in Shadow. If they were uprooted, he might also be implicated.

Xiang Yuan glanced deeply at Li Mingxuan after listening, but he didn't say much. After nodding, he looked at Xu Qian and the others.

"You all first lead the students back to the academy. We will handle the matters here."

Please rest assured, we will investigate thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Xu Qian and the others exchanged glances and remained silent. Although they still had many questions in their hearts, they knew well that now was not the time for in-depth investigation.

Soon, people from the various academies and forces all left. Only the Military Department personnel guarding the Wind and Thunder Pool remained.

Xiang Yuan looked in the direction Li Mingxuan had left for a long time without speaking. At this moment, someone came before him. "Do you suspect him?"

"No, the energy in that Wind and Thunder Pool was enough for a Martial Grandmaster to break through. How could a Martial Warrior like him possibly do it?"

It's just that I'm curious how he managed to avoid it with his strength. You know, everyone else except him was affected."

"Perhaps it's his secret. There are quite a few people with secrets these days. Which of those experts doesn't have their own secrets?"

That person shook his head dismissively. "Do you think it's possible that there's a mole in our Military Department?"

Xiang Yuan's expression tightened. "Let's report this matter first. I hope there are no issues within our Military Department!"

After speaking, he sighed and walked towards the outside of the valley. That person also quickly followed.
