Murong Bingyun died, and her death was horrific.
When Beiyu and his group found him, he was completely lifeless, his internal organs had been ripped out, his face was twisted in fear, and he looked as miserable as could be. He was a far cry from the composed and distinguished nobleman he had been before, which was unbelievable.
Especially Beiyu and others.
Several women almost vomited immediately!
The children of the Northern Wolf Kingdom are not unfamiliar with bloodshed. On the contrary, the children of the noble families in the Northern Wolf Kingdom undergo a baptism of wolf blood at the age of five. Many children have even been selected by the Wolf God at a very young age and fought against fierce and hungry wolves. Many children are bitten to death by hungry wolves at that age.
Many people saw this when they were young, but even with that mindset, they can't bear to see Murong Bingyun such a tragic death!
When Chen Ying arrived after receiving the news, her face remained gloomy!
As expected, something bad happened!!
From the moment Seventh Master Shen warned her, she had a feeling of unease, and what she feared most was that something would happen at the opening ceremony. In the end, nothing happened at the ceremony, but such a big thing happened afterward. Murong Bingyun's identity is quite sensitive. Although he is just a direct descendant of a noble family, he is using the study as an excuse, but in reality, he represents diplomacy with the Jiangnan region, which is equivalent to exchanges between countries. Moreover, Murong Bingyun's status in the Northern Wolf Kingdom is actually no less than that of the royal family!
The fact that such a person died here, and died so tragically, is a serious diplomatic incident.
This would not only anger the Northern Wolf Kingdom, but also damage the reputation that Jiangnan has worked so hard to build. After all, Jiangnan took the initiative to recruit students from outside the region, but if you can't even guarantee the safety of the students, who would dare to send their precious direct descendants over?
What's the situation at the scene?
Suppressing the panic in her heart, Chen Ying barely managed to calm herself down. With Chen Qing gone, she was the one in charge here, and she was the one who couldn't afford to panic!
"My lord," the fighter in charge of maintaining order at the scene hurriedly said, "We received the notification and came immediately. Only the disciples of the Northern Wolf Kingdom and..." The Fighter Army glanced at a woman covered in blood and gore not far away. "That woman from the Shen Family."
"Oh?" Shen Xue's pupils contracted. "She is now...?"
"She's unconscious. We've already called Dr. Huang from the Yellow Academy to examine her, and he diagnosed it as a coma caused by severe deficiency of qi and blood."
"Deficiency of Qi and Blood" Chen Ying frowned. Wei Gongcheng had mentioned that Shen Xue seemed to have some behavior of worshipping evil spirits. The death of this young man from the Murong Family was most likely related to that evil spirit.
"Take her to the Yellow Academy first, I'll look after her myself!"
"Yes"
"You can't take her with you!"
A girl who was vomiting looked up agitatedly upon hearing this, ignoring the filth from her mouth, and shouted, "You can't take that woman away!!"
Although I don't know how my brother died, it must be related to that woman. Now, nobody believes anyone!
"Shut up!" Somewhat uncomfortable, Beiyu interrupted the girl's screams, pulling her behind him. He then bowed to Chen Ying and said, "Dean, please forgive me. This is Murong Bingyun's younger sister; she is currently quite agitated."
Chen Ying nodded upon hearing this. "It's alright, it's only human nature. Speaking of which, since Murong was murdered here, our academy, as the host, bears an unshirkable responsibility. Rest assured, we will definitely find the murderer. Whoever did it, we will find them and let them deal with it as they see fit. Afterwards, we will also give you an explanation for Murong Murong's death."
Upon hearing the explanation, Beiyu's expression relaxed slightly. The so-called explanation was compensation. For someone like Murong to die in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan forces naturally had to provide some compensation. This was a matter of diplomatic protocol. As for how to compensate, that was the result of discussions between the two sides later, but at least the other party's attitude was very good.
"Then I will trouble you, Dean, to make the decision!" Beiyu bowed again.
Chen Ying looked at the other party. The children of the Northern Wolf Kingdom were all quite precocious, and they had the demeanor of mature politicians in their dealings with others. Murong Bingyun was such an important person, and she had previously observed that she had a good relationship with this group of people. Yet, after such a tragic death, the other party was able to calm down so quickly.
Even the way they addressed each other as "Dean" clearly showed that they were trying to be the ones in charge, acting like students. It has to be said that Chen Ying couldn't find a single fault with what they said, and felt only guilty.
"I will have someone preserve Murong Murong's body with ice jade, ensuring the case is solved while also preserving the integrity of Murong body. If you wish to come and see, you are welcome to."
"Dean Xie, we trust you. You should handle it however you deem appropriate!"
Chen Ying nodded upon hearing this. "Alright, if you trust me, you can go out first."
The group was taken aback, not expecting them to actually be kicked out. Several disciples' expressions were clearly unfriendly, but Beiyu and the others calmed down and bowed, saying, "Then the students will take their leave."
"Good"

" Beiyu, why are you adopting such a humble posture?"
After leaving the house, not only the indignant little girl from the Murong Family, but the other members also looked grim, especially Wutu Yun, whose brows were furrowed. " Murong died on their territory. Even if it wasn't done by their officials, we're in the right. Is it necessary to be so apologetic?"
"You know it's their territory too?" Beiyu said coldly, "Do you think I'm not saddened by Murong's death? I don't want to vent, but what's the use of getting angry?"
"We in the Northern Wasteland have the Northern Frontier to protect us; we pose no threat to Jiangnan. If we don't tolerate it, are we supposed to threaten them? What do you have to threaten them with?"
Wutu Yun: "."
"Moreover, Murong's tragic death this time is not simple!" Beiyu lowered his voice and said, "As long as Chen Qing isn't out of his mind, he wouldn't have killed the direct descendants of various forces when he just gathered them to study. This concerns their reputation and face, and it also concerns whether Jiangnan Academy can successfully become a top-tier Warlock Academy in the future."
"It's highly likely that external forces were behind it."
"Outer forces?" Wutu Yun was taken aback. "Who? We have no grudge against each other. Could it be those guys from the Northern Frontier?"
At this point Wutu Yun's face darkened. "I've noticed it for a long time. Those guys in the north, especially the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, are very hostile towards Murong Bingyun!"
"In terms of motive, the North is the biggest." Beiyu nodded. "But the actual situation may not be so. That Shen Xue is from the capital. Murong suffered this calamity while trying to get rid of the evil spirit on her. I'm afraid the ultimate reason is still somewhat related to that illegitimate daughter of the Shen Family."
"And it's possible."
"What could it be?" the people around him quickly asked.
Beiyu sighed, "When our Northern Wasteland and the capital joined forces to attack the Duke of Wei, the envoy who went there said that there was a problem in the capital. The one who is now in charge of the government is the same as the Duke of Wei of Wei said, not the one from the Xiao Household, but some kind of monster. If the thing on the Shen Family girl is related to that monster in the capital, then we're in trouble."
Wutu Yun wasn't stupid; he immediately understood what Beiyu meant.
If there is a connection, it's a test and a power struggle between two major forces. If that's the case, Murong's revenge is most likely impossible!

What do you think?
After everyone had left, Wei Gongcheng appeared.
When Chen Ying saw Wei Gongcheng arrive in time, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Chen Qing had a good eye for people; Wei Gongcheng was calm and composed, with the demeanor of a great general. She felt that he was even more reliable than Seventh Master Shen.
"I don't know." Chen Ying shook her head. "I have absolutely no clue. Why would this monster target the Murong Family?"
"The specific reason is unclear, but there's definitely an element of testing us," Wei Gongcheng shook his head and said, "To find out the truth, we need to find Murong's spirit."
"That's right!" Chen Ying suddenly realized, "Anyone who died in Liuzhou is under your jurisdiction. Finding Murong's spirit body will only give us a general idea of the situation."
"It's not that easy," Wei Gongcheng smile. "I suspect that something capable of devouring spirits has infiltrated Liuzhou!"
Chen Ying froze. With something like this around, wouldn't the Liuzhou Underworld also be in grave danger?
"Has Murong already...?"
"No," Wei Gongcheng shook his head, " Murong's spirit is still here!"
