Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Classmate Who We Never t
Wuduo stood firm like a copper iron wall in front of the Twelfth Heavenly Body, who was still desperately struggling within the Inescapable Net, with danger in front and behind him, with nowhere to escape.
The Twelfth Heavenly Body looked at Wuduo’s furious eyes and imagined how the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle would deal with him, a deep fear welling up in his heart.
Though trapped in the Inescapable Net, he could still move his limbs freely. Taking advantage of Wuduo not attacking him, the Twelfth Heavenly Body stealthily took out a small dagger from his storage ring and swiftly plunged it into his chest.
Wuduo was shocked, but it was too late to stop him, and he watched helplessly as bright red blood surged from the Twelfth Heavenly Body’s chest, his complexion instantly collapsing as if a leaf in the blink of an eye went from sumr to winter.
Qin Sisi witnessed the dramatic turn of events and, enduring the pain, flew over to see that both Heavenly Bodies were dead, feeling both elated and regretful in her heart.
If they could capture a live one, perhaps they could interrogate him for a lot of useful information.
But the Twelve Heavenly Bodies are Tian Xiaozi’s closest confidants, and they must truly be loyal to Tian Xiaozi. It’s clear from the Twelfth Heavenly Body’s suicide that they would rather die than be captured alive and betray Tian Xiaozi, the likelihood of their betrayal is very slim.
However, Chu Ming’s situation perplexed her; isn’t Chu Ming a genius disciple of the Jin Gang family? How could he beco Tian Xiaozi’s Twelfth Heavenly Body?
Or instead, could this Chu Ming be an impostor?
Wuduo did not bother with the two corpses for the mont, but hurried to find a flat spot and sat Qin Sisi down. His healing prowess was not very advanced, but at this mont he could only do his best to start treating Qin Sisi’s injuries.
At this ti, a loud inquiry ca from afar: "Wuduo, what happened?"
Wuduo looked up to see that it was Wu Ting and Ru Lin arriving. With their magical power, they ford translucent wings and flew down from the sky.
Wuduo was overjoyed and, without waiting to respond to Wu Ting’s inquiry, urgently requested of Ru Lin: "Teacher Ru Lin, please co quickly and heal Sisi’s injuries."
Hearing Wuduo’s words, Ru Lin hurriedly sped up her descent and stopped by Qin Sisi’s side.
Qin Sisi was wearing a light-colored dress today, with wounds on both legs, the hem of the dress almost completely soaked with blood.
Ru Lin was taken aback and turned to say to Wuduo and Wu Ting: "Find a carriage, I need to take her back to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle as quickly as possible."
"Okay." Wuduo instantly agreed and went to rent a carriage nearby, while Wu Ting went to inspect the corpses of the Fifth and the Twelfth Heavenly Bodies, also shocked by the revelation of Chu Ming.
Ru Lin tore off the hem of Qin Sisi’s dress and released the magic skill of Grass Shines Sunshine to stop the bleeding in her wounds.
Wuduo quickly found a carriage, and Ru Lin took Qin Sisi on the carriage, heading back to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle first, while Wuduo and Wu Ting stayed to tie up loose ends.
Ru Lin took Qin Sisi directly to her own Tianmu Mountain and sent soone to report to Master Yipiao. Then she removed Qin Sisi’s clothing to continue healing her injuries with her healing arts.
Both wounds were deep, even exposing the white bones, and it was admirable that Qin Sisi could endure for so long.
After several hours of healing, the external injuries on Qin Sisi’s legs were basically healed, but the battle also drained so of her vigor, and she needed a good few days of rest to fully recuperate.
Upon hearing the news, Teacher Yinxi specially let Qin Sisi soak in the Floating Dream Hot Spring on Tianshui Mountain for a few hours, which greatly restored her physical condition.
The aftermath was efficiently taken care of by Teacher Wuduo.
They peeled off a human skin mask from Chu Ming’s face, revealing the true face of the Twelfth Heavenly Body, a face unknown to them.
The house destroyed by their magic battle was also repaired with funds from Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, which hired people to help.
Additionally, in a hidden corner of that weapon shop, they found the bodies of two n whose identities were confird by neighbors as the true owner and his apprentice.
Those two Heavenly Bodies murdered the innocent owner and apprentice before plotting to kill Qin Sisi.
Heavenly Magic God’s Castle also contacted the Jin Gang family, who stated that Chu Ming’s Candle of Life had not gone out.
This was actually easy to explain: Tian Xiaozi’s n secretly captured Chu Ming not to kill him, but to allow the Twelfth Heavenly Body to impersonate him and infiltrate the Heaven Academy of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Therefore, they couldn’t kill Chu Ming because the mont his Candle of Life went out, the Jin Gang family would know of his death, and the Twelfth Heavenly Body’s identity would be exposed. Thus, the real Chu Ming must have been held captive in so secret location.
Teacher Wuduo had not yet figured out a way to find the real Chu Ming when, two days later, Jin Gang family reported that Chu Ming’s Candle of Life had been extinguished.
Probably, Tian Xiaozi, after learning of the demise of the Fifth and Twelfth Heavenly Bodies, realized that keeping Chu Ming alive was futile and simply decided to kill him to silence him.
When Qin Sisi learned of this news, she remained silent for a long ti. The real Chu Ming was ant to be their classmate, to study and fight alongside them, but they never had the chance to et before he was killed.
The imposter Chu Ming had been with them day and night for half a year; she thought they would beco comrades-in-arms, yet in the end, he drove a longsword through her back.
In the past, Qin Sisi held a deep grudge against Tian Xiaozi, because he was Ye You’s nesis, the murderer of Ye You’s father, and he cursed Ye You to assu the form of a cat. Her resentnt was rooted in Ye You.
But now, she has truly felt the pain as if it was cutting into her own flesh.
She didn’t understand why Tian Xiaozi wanted her dead, repeatedly sending assassins, even going so far as to have the Twelfth Heavenly Body infiltrate the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for half a year to gain her trust—was it just because Ye You cared for her?
But her magic power was weak, and she couldn’t possibly pose a threat to Tian Xiaozi.
Unable to guess Tian Xiaozi’s true motive, her thoughts are now clear: from now on, Tian Xiaozi is likewise an enemy with whom she shares an irreconcilable hatred.
Last ti, Qin Sisi was ambushed in the Holy Forest and eventually rescued by Jiu Ge. Yu Sha later made a political statent in the na of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle to the entire Demon Sacred Realm, condemning Tian Xiaozi’s actions.
It seems now that Tian Xiaozi never took that statent to heart.
Disregarding the declaration of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle clearly shows his contempt for them, and it must be clear to him that the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle would not yield and acknowledge him as Sage Ruler.
Previously, as a magic academy, the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle was sowhat elusive, without explicitly supporting anyone.
But this ti, Master Yipiao seems to have run out of patience.
He personally had notices infused with magical power posted all over the Academy City and even went so far as to deliver them to The Eight Great Families, using strong words to detail the cris Tian Xiaozi committed in the Academy City, and solemnly declared that Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and the Academy City resolutely oppose Tian Xiaozi becoming the Sage Ruler.
