142: Chapter 142 Sages Emerge

In less than a breath.

All the Saints of the Baichuan Holy Academy appeared beside Shen Wansan.

Including Tianzimu, who was at the Quasi-Saint Peak, there were a total of fourteen Saints.

All the Saints of the Divine Realm gathered here, because only at the Baichuan Holy Academy was there a possibility of achieving a Breakthrough to a higher Realm.

Therefore, throughout history, once someone in the Divine Realm achieved a Breakthrough to become a Saint, they would voluntarily join the Baichuan Holy Academy.

Except for one person, and she was Empress Luoshen, Luo Shenyu, who had only recently become a Saint!

"Wansan, are you seriously injured?" Tianzimu asked aloud.

Not just Tianzimu, but the other Saint Elders of the Baichuan Holy Academy could also see that Shen Wansan appeared to be injured.

They were somewhat confused; clearly, he was the only one here, and there was no trace of a fight, so how did he get injured?

"Dean, I am fine. I was just slightly shaken and injured; a few hundred years of recovery will be enough," Shen Wansan shook his head, indicating that his condition was not serious.

"Then tell us briefly, what happened here?" Tianzimu continued.

In fact, when they received the voice transmission from Shen Wansan, they had seen the corpse of Qiu Tianji in the hall, and they were all shocked at first.

However, they quickly regained their composure on the surface; after all, they were all Saints!

"I traced back time to investigate. This matter is related to the High Priest of the Dragon Clan, but there is interference from a mysterious power here, so I could not see any more images. I was injured by the lingering Qi of this mysterious power," Shen Wansan said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd changed slightly.

"The High Priest? Could the person who killed Vice Dean Qiu be related to him? But why would he do such a thing?"

"Furthermore, what is this mysterious power?"

"It seems things are more complicated than we imagined."

Some Saint Elders began to whisper to each other.

Tianzimu frowned: "Regardless, this matter must be investigated clearly. We cannot let Vice Dean Qiu die in such an unclear manner."

"Indeed, this matter concerns the reputation and safety of the academy, and it must not be let off lightly," another Saint Elder agreed.

Meanwhile, Shen Wansan's heart was filled with doubts.

He knew that this matter was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Why would the High Priest of the Dragon Clan appear here? Was it really just to calculate the Heavenly Dao as it appeared on the surface?

And what exactly was that mysterious power?

Everything seemed confusing and obscure, making him feel uneasy.

"Could the death of Vice Dean Qiu be a backlash from the Heavenly Dao? After all, he rarely went into seclusion and was always calculating the Heavenly Dao for others, which inevitably offends the Heavenly Dao," a Saint spoke up.

"No, a backlash from the Heavenly Dao would not leave behind a mysterious Qi. Moreover, although the backlash from the Heavenly Dao is powerful, it is not enough to cause the fall of a Saint," another Saint dismissed this possibility.

"Wansan, has the High Priest of the Dragon Clan been captured?" Tianzimu looked at Shen Wansan and asked.

"Dean, I have already sent men to bring him back to the Law Enforcement Hall," Shen Wansan replied.

"Good. Then mark this place as a Forbidden Ground for now. We will discuss the details after we interrogate the High Priest of the Dragon Clan," Dean Tianzimu continued.

"Very well, Dean," Shen Wansan replied.

Subsequently, the members of the Law Enforcement team began to take action, designating this area as a Forbidden Ground and arranging personnel to keep watch.

...

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall of the Baichuan Holy Academy.

The High Priest of the Dragon Clan, like a prisoner, stood in the center of the Law Enforcement Hall together with the other three people. They were all people who had gone to find Vice Dean Qiu Tianji to calculate the Heavenly Dao today.

Usually, the three big figures of the Law Enforcement Hall would be sitting in the four high seats above, but today, the three main deacons were also standing below.

Because this time, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was personally investigating. One must know that the Hall Master was a Saint!

Before long, fourteen people suddenly appeared in the four high seats above and the seats on the left and right sides, and all the seats were filled with people.

Seeing this, the three main deacons quickly knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Dean and all Saint Elders."

The four people in the middle, upon hearing the words of the three main deacons, did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly knelt to salute: "We pay our respects to the Saints!"

"The three of you, rise," Dean Tianzimu said in a calm tone, then turned his head to look at the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall sitting on the left.

The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Shen Wansan, nodded slightly to indicate he understood.

He then looked at the three main deacons below and asked: "Jin Dou, have you discovered any useful clues?"

"Reporting to the Hall Master, these four people all sought Vice Dean Qiu to calculate the Heavenly Dao today, but they all claim to know nothing about the Vice Dean's fall," Main Deacon Jin Dou replied respectfully.

Shen Wansan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Have the High Priest of the Dragon Clan stay, and take the others out first."

"Yes, Hall Master." Main Deacon Jin Dou acknowledged, and subsequently, with the other two main deacons, led the other three people out of the hall.

At this moment, only the High Priest of the Dragon Clan remained in the hall.

The High Priest felt anxious and uneasy, and fine beads of sweat had already begun to appear on his forehead.

Although he had tried his best to make himself look calm and composed, the depths of his eyes were filled with panic and unease.
