The Villain

"You had best think this through, Your Excellency!"

The Dean, caught between shock and rage, still maintained the utmost restraint: "Killing an old man like me might not amount to much. But if you slaughter the entire Wangjiang City Daoist Academy, you are making an enemy of the entire Zhuang Kingdom! You are even making an enemy of the Daoist Sect!"

"That sounds quite serious." Jiang Wang was fully immersed in his role, his voice sounding utterly ruthless: "That is why I advise you to reach an exchange with me as quickly as possible. Do not force Zhang to face such dire consequences."

"You!" the Dean of Wangjiang City Daoist Academy roared: "Shameless to the extreme! And arrogant in your ignorance! Having committed such a monstrous sin, do you truly think you can escape? No matter how strong you are, can you escape the Inch-to-Horizon of Minister Du?"

"No matter how strong Inch-to-Horizon is, can it predict where I am before it happens? I, Zhang Linchuan, make my home wherever I go. Please, tell Du Ruhui to use his Inch-to-Horizon all he likes."

Jiang Wang remained completely unmoved: "Five breaths remaining!"

The Dean closed his eyes in agony, a war raging within his heart. On one side was his life's work; on the other, every single disciple of the entire City Daoist Academy.

And Jiang Wang continued his countdown: "Three breaths!"

The Dean gritted his teeth, just about to speak.

At that very moment, a voice rang out not far away: "What expert has come to visit our Wangjiang City Daoist Academy?"

The voice was stubborn and solid, like unyielding rock, leaving a deep impression.

Jiang Wang thought about it carefully, and upon catching the anxious look in the Dean's eyes, he understood instantly.

It was Fu Baosong!
