Heavenly Palace-Martial Saint Fancang

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to you!"

Martial Saint Yuanming laughed, then turned to look at everyone.

"Alright, what just happened probably frightened quite a few students. Go calm them down."

With them at the center, everything within several hundred meters had been razed flat. Fortunately, this was close to a Tier 3 Demonic Beast territory, and only Lin Tian had come here.

Just as they were preparing to leave, a sentence Lin Tian suddenly spoke made them feel an urge to curse their mothers.

"Um, can I mention something? Just now, the Magician used the drone following me to reveal that I'm an Extreme Martial Artist."

"You! Said! What!"

The instant he heard that, Martial Saint Yuanming rushed before Lin Tian, grabbed his shoulders, and roared wildly.

"Uh, I said my identity as an Extreme Martial Artist has been exposed. As long as they were viewers in my livestream, they all know."

"By now, the whole country probably knows."

As soon as Lin Tian said this, Martial Saint Yuanming staggered back with disbelief written all over his face, repeatedly muttering that it was over, it was over.

"It really is over..."

Green Light Martial Saint and the others also gave bitter smiles.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, Lin Tian was immediately intrigued.

"There was no order allowing your identity as an Extreme Martial Artist to be exposed. Now everyone knows you're an Extreme Martial Artist. This is our dereliction of duty."

"Didn't all the major powers in Qing Province already know about this?"

Lin Tian did not understand.

"That's different. The major powers knew, but they wouldn't tell ordinary people. This time, however, the entire country knows."

"This will cause enormous unrest. The viewers probably saw the scene of your assassination attempt as well. Everything is over."

"We're the ones who are over."

One Martial Saint added.

Even under the protection of five Martial Saints, such a serious incident had still occurred. What awaited them would inevitably be the Imperial Court's judgment.

"There should still be room to turn things around. After all, the force that came to assassinate me isn't simple, right?"

"What kind of organization is the Tarot Society? Tell me about it. Anyway, the people in the livestream already heard it."

"What? The livestream viewers all heard about the Tarot Society?!"

Martial Saint Yuanming, who had just looked utterly dejected, seemed as though he had been startled senseless.

"Uh, weren't they supposed to hear it?"

Lin Tian looked thoroughly puzzled. Weren't Martial Saint Yuanming and the others overreacting a little?

"They absolutely must not hear it!"

Martial Saint Yuanming howled, but there was no undoing what had already happened.

"I'll contact the Imperial Court and ask how to resolve this. You take Lin Tian back first."

After assigning the tasks, Martial Saint Yuanming left at once.

"I'll take Lin Tian back. You three go reassure the other examinees and have them leave the examination grounds in an orderly fashion."

Green Light Martial Saint spoke to the other three Martial Saints of the Garrison Army, then left with Lin Tian.

"You still haven't told me what kind of organization the Tarot Society is."

As Green Light Martial Saint flew through the sky with him, Lin Tian spoke up to ask.

"That matter must await the Imperial Court's response. We have no authority to decide."

"The Tarot Society involves deeply buried secrets?"

Hearing that, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised. From the Tarot Society sending out a Martial Saint, as well as Martial Saint Yuanming's shocked reaction, he had known this organization was far from simple.

"Yes. This organization is extremely mysterious."

"Did you know that, in order to kill you, the Tarot Society dispatched three core members?"

"On our way to rescue you, Tower trapped us for ten seconds. We thought you were certainly doomed. Thankfully, you had a supreme life-saving treasure on you."

"You brat really are lucky, to obtain such a treasure."

Lin Tian chuckled smugly but did not respond.

"Among the three who came this time, Tower and The Hermit were both Martial Saints. The Magician responsible for assassinating you became a core member at the Martial Dao Seventh Level, so he was probably a prodigy within the Tarot Society as well."

"Three core members. I'm truly honored."

Lin Tian was somewhat shocked after hearing this. This time, he had really hooked a big fish.

"You are indeed honored, but don't celebrate too early."

"Throughout history, whether prodigies or powerhouses, everyone targeted by the Tarot Society has met only one end."

Green Light Martial Saint spoke with a grave expression.

If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

"Can't I be the exception?"

"I'm an Extreme Martial Artist. If it comes to it, I'll seek the Imperial Court's help."

"Aren't you planning not to go to Dragon Soaring University?"

Upon hearing that, Green Light Martial Saint could not help asking.

"Huh? I never said that, did I? How did you know?"

Lin Tian was a little dumbfounded. He seemed never to have mentioned this matter, but then he realized he appeared to have let something slip.

"Yuanming told us. He said you seemed rather wary of the great clans in the Imperial Capital and weren't planning to attend Dragon Soaring University."

Green Light Martial Saint smiled.

"It's fine if you don't go to Dragon Soaring University. The situation within Dragon Soaring University is rather complicated, and with your personality, you probably wouldn't like it."

"The other three universities are more or less the same. Just choose whichever one you like."

"Are there no great clans in Magic City, the Ancient Capital, or Jiangnan City?"

Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled.

"There are, but the great clans in those three cities have contributed greatly to Dragon Nation. They also do not remain within their Lineages all the time, instead carrying out missions throughout Dragon Nation."

"If you enter one of those three cities, you need not worry about threats from the great clans."

"Besides, you have the Imperial Court protecting you. If trouble arises anywhere, Imperial Court powerhouses will intervene."

"I see."

Lin Tian nodded.

Led by Green Light Martial Saint, Lin Tian quickly returned to the camp, just in time to see Martial Saint Yuanming put down his communicator with a bitter expression.

"I got scolded. Fortunately, the Imperial Court has a solution."

"As long as there's a solution."

Green Light Martial Saint nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Tian voiced the doubt in his heart.

"Weren't all the examinees who entered this examination ground screened by you?"

"Why did the Magician appear?"

Hearing this, Martial Saint Yuanming let out a long sigh before beginning his explanation.

"The current Magician of the Tarot Society is very unusual. He seems able to evade the detection of all kinds of instruments and conceal his own blood and qi."

"When all the examinees arrived here, I scanned everyone, yet I did not sense any strength above the Martial Dao Third Level."

Then, he looked at Lin Tian with a solemn expression.

"This time, you survived. The Tarot Society certainly will not let you go."

"If the Magician could evade the college entrance examination screening, then he can certainly use the same method to enter a Martial Dao University and seek a suitable opportunity to assassinate you!"

"I'll apply to the Imperial Court and have a powerhouse protect you at all times."

"The Magician entering a Martial Dao University to assassinate me? Surely not."

The corner of Lin Tian's mouth lifted.

"Sigh..."

Seeing this, Martial Saint Yuanming could say no more. Lin Tian simply did not understand the Tarot Society's terror.

Within a mountain range at Qing Province's border, three figures stopped to rest.

"It hurts! Fierce flames are burning my body!"

The Magician collapsed to the ground and moaned in agony, both hands constantly clawing at his chest, where flames seemed to be burning.

"Do you know what's happening?"

Tower looked at The Hermit with confusion.

"Before I arrived, the Magician seemed to have been injured by the power of Lin Tian's life-saving item. Then he became like this."

"How could a life-saving treasure possess such a method?"

"The Magician won't last long in this state. Hurry back and have the others rescue him."

Tower spoke anxiously.

But before they could make a move, suddenly appearing raging flames instantly surrounded them.

A figure wreathed in flames suddenly appeared above them.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why have you attacked us?"

Tower and The Hermit stared gravely at the fiery figure in the sky. From it, they felt the threat of death.

"Heavenly Palace—Martial Saint Fancang. By the Heavenly Lord's command, I have come to exterminate you!"
