"The mistress is three years pregnant!"
The Corpse Servant knelt on the ground, his head falling directly to the ground. The Corpse Servant's words, just six short words, made Su Xiuyi's body tremble violently.
Su Xiuyi had sensed from some subtle clues that her identity was somewhat special, especially Wang Lin's dying words, "Beware of the Great Zhou Emperor!"
Su Xiuyi couldn't understand why the Great Zhou Emperor was targeting her, given her ordinary background and the fact that her most prestigious title was merely that of a top scholar in the imperial examination.
The Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden of Green Hill Mountain was an ally of the Human Race, yet the Great Zhou Emperor wanted to kill her, ultimately leading to Su Xiuyi's infiltration into the Heavenly Prison. That night in the Heavenly Prison, everything went exceptionally smoothly. At this moment, some questions that Su Xiuyi had been unable to understand before finally became clear, and she suddenly felt enlightened.
He finally understood why Wang Lin, despite slaying a demon king, was not punished and imprisoned in the Myriad Text Academy. If it weren't for his special status, he would probably be dead already!
Su Xiuyi knew that, in fact, the Great Zhou Emperor Undying up on killing her.
Not long ago, he even used Wang Cheng as bait to lure himself out.
"I beg you, Master, grant me death!"
The kneeling Corpse Servant trembled violently, his eyes filled with terror. He thought Su Xiuyi was silent because the grave robber was enraged.
"Corpses, did you move their remains?" Su Xiuyi asked, regaining her composure.
"Reporting to Master, I discovered something amiss. After confirming some of my suspicions, I moved the body. Shortly after the move, someone went to check the grave?" the Corpse Servant said tremblingly.
"Oh, really?"
"Who?"
Su Xiuyi asked in a voice devoid of emotion.
" Ji Zhan, Chancellor of the Southern Heaven Academy!"
The Corpse Servant dared not conceal anything and immediately replied.
" The Ji Zhan?"
"So, he was also one of Zhou Emperor's cronies!"
"No wonder the teacher died. The mere palace examination caused almost all the experts from the academy to go to the capital, leaving this place empty and vulnerable to the invasion of the Demon Race!" Su Xiuyi's voice turned cold at this moment.
"Is all the information you've gathered true?"
Su Xiuyi was still somewhat shocked and found it unbelievable, as if it were a TV series.
"How dare I spread rumors!"
The Corpse Servant knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Zi, you did well. Digging up graves is a heinous crime, but if you hadn't acted sooner, you would have been defiled by Ji Zhan by now. Ji Zhan truly deserves to die," Su Xiuyi said coldly.
"Master, I have found an auspicious burial site and given Wang Lin and his wife a proper burial."
"Now, please leave Myriad Text Academy immediately, Master. It's probably not safe here. According to some information, the Eighth Prince Su Lingtian and the Hundred Battles King's arrival this time is very likely to be detrimental to you. I've already discovered this, and I'm afraid the royal family has also discovered something. In addition, given that you've made several moves while concealing your identity, Zhou Emperor may feel uneasy."
The Corpse Servant immediately replied.
"Leave?"
Upon hearing the Corpse Servant's words, Su Xiuyi's eyes narrowed.
For him, Myriad Text Academy was truly a treasure trove for cultivation, and Su Xiuyi really didn't want to leave.
But unexpectedly, even knowing that this place was a death trap, the Great Zhou Emperor would not allow him to continue living here. But where could he go after leaving?
Moreover, Su Xiuyi didn't want to leave.
"Master, please make a decision soon!"
"Eighth Prince Su Lingtian and Hundred Battles King are searching extensively for the mysterious person in the Southern Heaven Academy because they don't know that the mysterious person is actually you. Their purpose is simple: they believe that you, Master, have the ability to reach the Invincible and want to cultivate you to serve them. If you don't appear, they will consider the mysterious person as your person."
"If such a thing were to happen, regardless of whether it was true or not, they would be arbitrarily charged with a crime and killed."
"If it appears when they are attacking their master, it will be even easier. Their master will also have another charge against them: colluding with Outer Dao. After all, their master's sword intent is too unique."
After the Corpse Servant finished speaking, he didn't say another word, knelt on the ground, and waited for Su Xiuyi to make a decision.
"Shi, this information isn't enough. Continue your investigation. As for me, I'll be dead soon. After that, Su Xiuyi will cease to exist. That's fine; I can hide better. They can't kill me unless the Great Zhou Emperor comes in person. I'll come to find you at the right time." After a long while, Su Xiuyi made her decision to fake her death and cultivate the Undying Heavenly Scripture. This wasn't difficult for Su Xiuyi.
"Yes, Master!"
"The corpse is dismissed!"
"If Master wants to find me, go directly to the Blood Slaughter Tower. I established the Blood Slaughter Tower. Corpse is utterly loyal to Master, and would gladly die for him!"
After the Corpse Servant knelt in worship, it slowly disappeared.
After leaving Myriad Text Academy, the Corpse Servant glanced at the Southern Heaven Academy, a cold smile playing on his lips. " Great Zhou Emperor, you made a mistake with this move. If you Dao Lord, you wouldn't have done this. Master, your talent suppresses all ages."
"A mere Invincible Being thinks he can kill his master? He's being far too naive."
As the voice faded, the corpse disappeared into the crowd.
······
In the Hall of Righteousness of the Southern Heaven Academy, Su Lingtian sat drinking tea, while Ji Zhan and the others in the Hall of Righteousness had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Just as Ji Zhan had expected, they couldn't find it.
"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, War King, which mysterious disciple has not appeared!" Ji Zhan asked in a trembling voice, beads of sweat dripping from his brow.
"Yeah?"
"I, the prince, will go and take a look!"
Su Lingtian did not punish him, but a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes, which was then replaced by coldness.
The moment the voice fell, Su Lingtian's figure slowly floated up, and in a few steps, he disappeared into the Hall of Righteousness.
Above the Southern Heaven Academy Square, the figures of Su Lingtian and the Hundred Battles King appeared.
"We pay our respects to His Highness the Eighth Prince and War King!"
The moment they saw Su Lingtian and the Hundred Battles King, a glint of light appeared in the eyes of these academy disciples, their faces filled with fanaticism, and they all knelt down in worship.
Su Lingtian seemed to enjoy this feeling. After glancing around, he slowly said, "I've gathered everyone here today for some mysterious person. In fact, this person is lurking in the academy, seemingly saving many people, but actually harboring malicious intentions. I wanted to give him a chance to live, but he refused."
"According to intelligence from the Heaven Patrol Pavilion of our Great Zhou Dynasty, this person has been discovered to be an accomplice of Su Xiuyi, a traitor to the Human Race, and has been plotting to rescue Su Xiuyi all along."
As Su Lingtian finished speaking, his voice turned icy cold the moment he mentioned Su Xiuyi.
It was a bright and sunny day in March, but it felt like being in an ancient icebox.
" Su Xiuyi colluded with the Heavenly Fox Clan of Green Hill Mountain, intending to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty. In order to survive and suppress the power of the Malédiction, she even allowed the Heavenly Demon Sect to infiltrate and collect the blood of Human Race cultivators to cultivate demonic arts. She deserves to be executed!"
Su Lingtian's voice boomed through the void like thunder.
"I see!"
Inside the Myriad Text Academy, a cold smile appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips.
As expected, the royal family wouldn't let him off the hook.
