12: The enraged academy! Is it Li Shengyuan?
The five Demon Suppression Envoys gradually widened their eyes, staring in shock at the old man restrained by Li Shengyuan.
This guy was actually a Third-Rank Pure Yang Source?!
The five couldn't help but gasp, then looked at the calm Li Shengyuan with awe.
As expected of Jin Yi (Golden Cloaks), even a Third-Rank Pure Yang Source was no match for him.
Although it was only a remnant soul, a Qi Refiner's Pure Yang Source remnant soul was not something ordinary people could handle.
However, they didn't know that this old man had been asleep for a hundred years and was already extremely weak...
The leading Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy respectfully cupped his hands and asked Li Shengyuan:
"May I ask Jin Yi (Golden Cloaks), how should this fiend and that child be dealt with?"
Li Shengyuan looked at Liu Xiu on the stone table, saying with a hint of regret:
"Send this child back to Black White Academy, and explain the cause of this matter clearly to the people of the Academy."
"As for this remnant soul, I will personally take it back to the Town Demon Bureau."
"Understood!" The five Demon Suppression Envoys respectfully nodded.
Then, a Black Uniform Zhen Mo Shi stepped forward and picked up the already deceased Liu Xiu.
The eyes of the five were filled with regret as they looked at him.
What a pity, he had a bright future after being admitted to Black White Academy, and he looked like a child from an ordinary family.
How could such a good child encounter a villain trying to seize his body...
"We subordinates shall take our leave first."
After bowing to Li Shengyuan, the five carried Liu Xiu's body and left the courtyard.
Since Li Shengyuan dared to let them take the body, he had naturally made proper arrangements to conceal it, and no trace would be discovered.
Even if a Third-Rank strong person were to investigate, they would only find that he died from being possessed.
As for this Pure Yang Source old man...
Li Shengyuan looked at the old man, who was in a daze after being restrained.
With a wave of his hand, the old man was collected by him.
All of his memories had been erased by Li Shengyuan, but it was not difficult to see that he was a Pure Yang Source realm Qi Refiner during his lifetime.
As long as he brought him back to the Town Demon Bureau and proved his words were true, he could send him to find Liu Xiu.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Shengyuan was also in a very joyful mood.
Today's harvest was quite fruitful; as long as he went back and absorbed and refined the Pure Yang Source from the system's treasure trove, his strength should improve significantly.
Liu Xiu's strength was low, so he couldn't awaken the complete Pure Yang Source, but Li Shengyuan was different.
He could easily master the complete Pure Yang Source.
When Liu Xiu's body was sent back to Black White Academy, it immediately caused a sensation.
A student of the esteemed Academy was actually killed by a villain who seized his body.
This was simply a provocation to the Academy!
In a small conference room, three people were engaged in a heated discussion.
One of them, a robust and masculine man named Chen Feng, who taught martial arts to the Academy's students, was filled with anger at this moment.
"That devil actually seized the body of our Academy's student, leading to his death! We must not tolerate this until that devil is brought to justice!"
The Confucian-robed middle-aged man who taught the Academy's students reading was named Zhao Wen, and he also sighed regretfully: "That child Liu Xiu had good talent; whether in martial arts or studying, he was a good seedling. He also had a pure righteous aura about him, and his future was limitless. What a pity..."
Another female Daoist in a Daoist robe had an exquisite appearance but a cold temperament. At this moment, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes, but she said calmly:
"I heard that devil was taken away by Li Shengyuan. I'll go to the Demon Suppression Division and bring him back to the Academy. He must be judged by the Academy to give Liu Xiu justice and to appease the other students."
Beneath her calm words was endless rage; Liu Xiu was also her student, a good seedling to become a Daoist Qi Refiner, and she even had plans to take Liu Xiu as her disciple.
Now seeing him killed, how could she not be angry?!
At this moment, the burly man frowned and said: "I heard Liu Xiu had some conflict with Li Xinghe from the Li family. Yesterday he defeated Li Xinghe, and today he was defeated in return."
"After losing, he ran out of the Academy in a frenzy, and then he was harmed. And the first person to discover he was harmed was Li Shengyuan, the eldest son of the Li family..."
As soon as he said this, although he didn't state it explicitly, the other two also understood some of his thoughts.
The Confucian-robed middle-aged man said calmly: "Chen Feng, just say what you said here, but don't spread it outside, it's not good for you or the Academy."
The burly man Chen Feng smiled faintly, "Old Zhao, don't be nervous. I just said that, and even if I said it out loud, no one would believe it. Li Shengyuan's character is well-known in the capital. He is His Majesty's junior brother, and in recent years, he has solved many cases and killed many devils. I admire him very much."
"What does Fairy Luo think?" Chen Feng looked at the Daoist-robed woman, Luo Yuzhu.
Luo Yuzhu, upon hearing this, stood up directly and walked out, saying calmly:
"Just capture that devil and ask; then we'll know."
Chen Feng and Zhao Wen did not stop her. In fact, they also wanted to know the result...
As the top three under the Academy's Dean, representing the three cultivation paths of Dao, Martial, and Literary arts, they were the main persons in charge of the Academy and also at the Fourth-Rank Consummation of their respective cultivation paths, only a step away from Third-Rank.
Although they had never explicitly stated it on weekdays, they all thought highly of Liu Xiu, this poor student from the countryside.
After a long while, Chen Feng sighed wistfully, "I hope I'm just overthinking it..."
Zhao Wen said calmly: "In recent years, Li Shengyuan's reputation is well-known to everyone; it's impossible and beneath him to do such a thing."
Then he added: "We'll know then whether he has a Third-Rank Pure Yang Source remnant soul in his possession. Yuzhu is not far from Third-Rank, so it won't be difficult for her to discern."
Subsequently, the two fell into a long silence.
If it was truly Li Shengyuan who did it, would they really publicize this matter and seek revenge on him?
Of course, if it wasn't him, that would be for the best...
Meanwhile, Li Xinghe, who was currently swaggering around the Academy with a group of his younger brothers, also learned of this matter.
"Xing... Xinghe Boss, it's bad, that kid Liu Xiu was killed!"
"What?!" Li Xinghe was instantly stunned, and couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly happened?"
"I heard he was possessed by a Third-Rank Pure Yang Source remnant soul, and then his soul was completely destroyed. It seems your elder brother was the one who discovered it, and the Demon Suppression Envoy even brought the body to the Academy."
Li Xinghe was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
Although he had a very unpleasant conflict with Liu Xiu and even wanted to use his connections to get him expelled.
But he never thought of letting Liu Xiu die!
After all, he was just a child and didn't have the intention of causing someone's death...
Liu Xiu's death caused a huge stir in the Academy, while Li Shengyuan had already returned to the Demon Suppression Division with the Third-Rank Pure Yang Source old man.
Before he could imprison the remnant soul old man, he met someone who had been waiting for him for a long time in his own office at the Demon Suppression Division.
Princess Pingyang, Mu Shining!
At this moment, she had shed her noble and elegant princess dress, changing into a Black Uniform Zhen Mo Shi's official robe, which gave her a unique, enchanting beauty.
The black official robe greatly accentuated her figure, with a voluptuous bust and hips, and a slender waist. As a princess of this dynasty, her nutrition was naturally excellent, and imperial women generally had good talent, with ample bosoms. The Empress Senior Sister was like this, and Princess Pingyang was no different.
The bored Princess Pingyang's phoenix eyes instantly brightened when she finally saw Li Shengyuan appear.
Like a black nightingale, she gracefully stepped forward to greet him.
"Li Gege, you're finally here!"
Princess Pingyang sweetly cooed, a stark contrast to the well-behaved Princess Pingyang she was last night in front of the Empress Senior Sister.
She familiarly linked her arm through Li Shengyuan's, looking up at him with a charming smile, her tone holding a hint of resentment:
"You're only just arriving now. I thought you disliked me and didn't want to take me with you anymore..."
