BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 Tragic
Huff! Huff! Huff!
In the dense forest, a young girl carrying an unconscious young man on her back was running hurriedly.
"Faster! I have to reach the village quickly. Brother sun has lost too much blood, if I don\'t reach the village quickly he will surely die from blood loss, I can\'t let that happen, I absolutely won\'t let that happen." poor Lin Lan was running non-stop. Even though she was injured remembering how her brother Sun fought with everything he had to save her life, an unprecedented resolve formed in her heart.
Since the incident with Bai Ming, Sun fan and Lin Lan had gotten a lot closer. Lin Lan still clearly remembered how sun fan had come to her aid when no one else did, even though he was not able to do anything at the time, she was still deeply touched seeing him come to her help when she was filled with despair. At that time her delicate heart was already trapped by him.
They had decided to form a team and fight side by side in the mid-term hunting exam. They had good teamwork and understood each other even more deeply. During the exam, they were very careful and only fought against low-grade beasts even though they were already in the 4th layer of bone forging realm.
But calamity struck, because of the assassination the hidden experts had to move. The academy elder infused his voice with spiritual energy and ordered all students who were in the different parts of the forest to retreat to the village. Even though they were unaware of the assassination, this young couple didn\'t dare to disobey the order as they quickly headed in the direction of the village.
But unfortunately, they met with a small group of mid-tier hell wolves, formerly because of the skillful manipulation of the experts they were much safer but now they could only rely on themselves. After a life-and-death battle, they managed to escape. One of Sun fan\'s legs was bitten off by the hell wolf and he also had a terrifying injury on his shoulder making him lose a huge amount of blood, due to the heavy loss of blood he fell unconscious.
As she was running she suddenly remembered how this was not the first time he had fallen unconscious and had to be carried by her. As she thought of that a delicate little smile blossomed on her tender face.
But little did she know, that it was going to be the last time she ever smiled.
A pale green sword light flashed, and the sliver blade mercilessly pierced her eyes before moving towards her brain all the way before coming out of the youth\'s back after that it returned to its owner. Blood gushed out dying the grass deep red. Then her lifeless body fell down.
Bai Ming glanced at the corpses with a cold gaze, he didn\'t feel an ounce of pity or regret towards his actions just now. Bai Ming has already passed that phase in his previous life, he has experienced far too many things to feel guilty over merely killing someone. If it was even slightly beneficial to him, Bai Ming would butcher the whole world in cold blood without so much as blinking an eye.
Be it men, women, or even infants, Bai Ming would show no mercy if they stand on his path to greatness.
Bai Ming skillfully sheathed his sword. Next, he casually crouched and used his index finger like a knife to penetrate into Sun fan\'s skull, completely eliminating any signs of life in him.
Then he quickly stored both the corpses in his storage bag. The storage bag could only stone inanimate objects.
Bai Ming was completely bathed in blood. There was even some brain matter on his body, but he did not mind it. He was very relaxed, his heart calm as water.
"27,28" he spoke in a faint voice.
"Can\'t stay here any longer, the fight on the battlefield should be almost reaching its end. I should also head for the village now. But before that I have to clean up, if someone sees me like this it will be trouble." Bai Ming clearly understood his situation and immediately took out a water container from his storage pouch and poured it all over his young body washing away the blood. Then he began to move towards the village using drifting steps.
....
A solemn and serious atmosphere filled the conference hall.
A group of elders silently sat on their seats; their faces were either indifferent, gloomy, or serious.
Clan head Ye Qing Han was sitting on the main seat, His gaze filled with worry "Academy elder, make sure you inform all of the relatives of the students who died today to come to the clan pavilion tomorrow, I will personally have a word with them. This is a tragic day in our Ye clan, those young one\'s had just started their journey but because of our negligence, sigh.."
At this time the academy elder suddenly knelt down and spoke with much agony and guilt "clan head, it\'s all my fault. It was because of me such a thing happened, I was too careless and didn\'t handle the situation properly. I failed as a teacher. I beg you to punish me."
"Stand up, it\'s not your fault. If you hadn\'t acted the way you did our clan would have suffered even more. You are not at fault here. If someone is to blame then we can only blame those heartless Song and Luo villages." Ye Qing Han spoke in a consoling tone.
The other elders looked at each other from the corner of their eyes, but no one spoke. They were well aware of the charade happening in front of them. During the assassination academy elder only focused on protecting Su Ming. He completely ignored other students, he had to make a cover-up now even though Su Ming was the hope of the clan they could not openly ignore other children.
Forget about those mid-grade and low-grade students, the academy elder didn\'t even allow one elemental realm expert to protect the high-grade students, even though not one high-grade student died. But three out of the four high-grade students had core formation realm experts in their families, these experts were of course present here.
Even though they didn\'t show anything on the surface they were quite displeased on the inside. Now he was just putting up a facade along with the clan head, the academy elder showing his guilt and how helpless he was to have been unable to protect the other students.
"But not even a single body was found of those missing students, if these students were really killed by assassins why would they not even leave a corpse? If they were not killed by those assassins, then why did they disappear? Wolves, no the test location wasn\'t too deep into the forest how could there be such a large number of wolves, moreover they were heading back towards the village. I would like to ask the elders if you have any thoughts regarding this? " Ye Qing han spoke in a calm voice.
After a short silence, one of the elders spoke "Perhaps, it\'s the doing of a demonic cultivator."
The hall fell into silence again. Most of them already had this thought. Demonic cultivators were unlike the righteous path cultivators, they did as they pleased without morality restraining them, for their own desires they wouldn\'t mind slaughtering people like cabbages. But this doesn\'t mean the righteous path was pure, hehe they were even viler than these so-called demons. They were only high and mighty on the surface but their core was just as rotten as the demonic path if not more.
At this time Ye Qing Han spoke in a meaningful way " Yes, you are probably right. I believe everyone here also thinks the same. But for now, we can only investigate. Listen to my orders, tighten the security of the village. Elders, I hope you would also take some necessary actions."
To which all the elders solemnly nodded their heads.
