The Sun Family estate.

Everyone hadn't closed their eyes for a day and a night.

They didn't understand how it had been so long, and the two still hadn't returned.

Could it be they hadn't found that kid?

"Nothing will happen, it won't..."

Sun Zhanting's eyes were bloodshot, his brow furrowed with gloom.

Just then, a loud shout echoed.

"Something happened, Uncle, something happened!"

The person ran closer, his voice trembling.

"Uncle, Ling'er and Fifth Uncle are in trouble..."

He then recounted finding their bodies in the Abyssal Depths.

Upon hearing this, the taut nerves of everyone present nearly snapped.

Sun Zhanting's veins bulged, his gaze ferocious. "Where are the bodies!?"

"They're outside, but... alas, Uncle, you should go see for yourself..."

The rest of the family followed them outside.

Upon seeing the two corpses, some of the women fainted from shock.

One had been split in half.

The other's head was completely crushed.

Furthermore, their bodies were covered in bite marks from Demonic Beasts.

They were completely unrecognizable.

"Who did this!?"

Although Sun Zhanting already had a vague idea, he still couldn't quite believe it.

"It must be Chu Sheng. Their bodies were found in the Phantom Wolf territory, and Chu Sheng was the only one who went there yesterday."

Hearing this, Sun Zhanting instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The rest of the crowd angrily cursed, "Beast..."

Even though the Sun Family had intended to kill Chu Sheng first, they didn't see anything wrong with that.

On the contrary, Chu Sheng daring to kill their Sun Family members was an unforgivable capital offense!

"Catch him, bring him to me!!!"

With his son crippled and his daughter and brother dead, Sun Zhanting instantly lost his mind.

The Sun Family members quickly tried to calm him.

"Zhanting, don't be so impulsive. This is the city. Even if we need to catch someone, we can't make such a scene."

"That's right, Big Brother. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge. At the very least, we should wait until night."

"That kid is definitely hiding in the school right now. We can't just barge into the school..."

Hearing this, Sun Zhanting sobered up considerably.

The Sun Family did have considerable influence in Baian City.

But this was still within the city, and making too much of a scene would be difficult to manage.

After all, there were quite a few people watching the Sun Family.

Then, the Sun Family members discussed.

"Let's report it to the Wind Chasing Hall and have them arrest him. Then we can use our connections to bring him in."

"No, Wu Qingshan has some connections in the city, and that beast is at the Opening Meridian Fifth Layer, a potential talent for a top academy. Without solid evidence, the Wind Chasing Hall won't arrest him."

"Then we wait. We wait for that kid to go down to the Abyssal Depths."

"He's not stupid. After killing our Sun Family members, would he dare go to the Abyssal Depths?"

"Then what do we do? We can't delay. The college entrance examination is coming up soon. If he gets into a top academy, we might not have a chance to act."

Finally, Sun Zhanting came up with an idea.

"Indeed, we can't delay. We can't catch the person, but someone else can!"

"Lingyue Academy!"

As a first-class academy that had stood in Great Xia for hundreds of years, Lingyue Academy's influence was immense.

Catching someone who killed their student, and an orphan with no background at that, was as easy as snapping his fingers.

In fact, even without his call.

Lingyue Academy also planned to send people to Baian City to investigate the situation.

The life-saving measure on the waist token had been triggered, and they couldn't contact Sun Ling'er.

This undoubtedly indicated that the student had likely met with misfortune.

Lingyue Academy.

"Dead?! How could Ling'er be dead!!!"

Upon hearing the news of Sun Ling'er's death, her mentor Wang Lian's anxious heart shattered.

But what she couldn't understand was how a simple request for leave to visit her brother could lead to her death!?

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

After hearing that Sun Ling'er was cruelly murdered simply for wanting to seek justice for her brother.

Wang Lian was so furious that she overturned the desk in front of her.

"Villagers from remote areas are troublesome, what an unrestrained beast!"

Sun Ling'er was her most beloved student, and she was on the verge of advancing to the third-tier Qi Sea Realm.

Of course, she couldn't let this go so easily.

Wang Lian knew that the situation was definitely not as simple as Sun Zhanting had described.

However, Sun Ling'er's death was a fact.

So, the details of what happened were no longer important.

The perpetrator must die, not even Jesus could save him!

After reporting the incident, the academy also attached great importance to it.

The college entrance examination enrollment period was fast approaching, and with this incident, it was clearly provoking Lingyue Academy!

They must be severely punished and seek justice for their student.

Not only that, but they also planned to publicize the matter to prove their importance to their students!

After meeting with the investigators assigned by the academy, Wang Lian immediately set off for Baian City.

Upon hearing the news, the members of the Sun Family felt greatly pleased.

By the latest tonight, people from Lingyue Academy would arrive, and that would be Chu Sheng's doomsday!

A genius!?

What good is being a genius!

Isn't he still going to die just the same?

Meanwhile, in the principal's office at Baian Second Middle School.

There were five top academies in Great Xia, and special recruitment personnel from four of them had already arrived.

The remaining Longwu University was too far away and was expected to arrive around noon.

Unlike their confident arrival.

Their faces were etched with a hint of worry.

This was because Chu Sheng's conditions were too peculiar.

He could forgo resources, cultivation techniques, and even the most direct Federal Currency.

His exact words were:

"I can't stand injustice. I love hunting down evil and eliminating harm, so—"

"I only have one condition: help me join the Jingwu Bureau!"

The Wind Chasing Hall mostly handled cases involving ordinary people or low-level martial artists; it was a dead end without prospects and lacked true justice.

The Jingwu Bureau was responsible for handling crimes committed by high-level martial artists, clearing out Demonic Beasts that broke out of the Abyssal Depths, and their affiliated Starry Sky Aliens.

However, the entry requirements were stringent:

Graduation from a first-class academy, cultivation reaching the Qi Sea Realm, a clean background, and five years of work experience in the Wind Chasing Hall.

It was impossible for Chu Sheng to join now.

As for five years later, he didn't have that kind of patience.

Even though the special recruitment personnel had anticipated countless possibilities, they never expected Chu Sheng to propose such a condition.

Throughout Great Xia, they had never encountered anyone as bizarre as him.

They were academies, not the government!

Moreover, the Jingwu Bureau had strict management and severe regulations.

It would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for them to interfere.

Let alone placing someone inside, they might not even be able to pull someone out.

Wang He, the person in charge of Jingwu University, spoke.

"Chu Sheng, you're only 18, what's the rush?"

How about this, we'll arrange for you to get a nominal position at the Wind Chasing Hall in the capital first.

Wouldn't it be better to go to the Jingwu Bureau in five years? That way, no one can say you went through the back door."

Chu Sheng rolled his eyes.

"So what if I go through the back door?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with using connections.

Those who say it's bad are just people who don't have any connections to use.

Chu Sheng's tone made Wang He quite displeased.

He thought about how he was someone from a top-tier academy.

Moreover, no matter how you put it, Chu Sheng was only at the Opening Meridian Fifth Layer, and he had come here for a special recruitment as an exception. Why should he be dictated to by him?

He had advanced three layers in four days. Who knew if there was some dilution involved?

With so many geniuses, Jingwu University didn't lack this one.

Afterward, Wang He stood up directly, making as if to leave.

"Then I'm sorry."

"We cannot meet this condition..."

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
