Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 646 - 548: Turmoil

"You’re injured, you can rest here for a while!"

"No need, I can recover instantly once I get back!"

"You can continue to cultivate here, improve yourself, and harmonize with your weapon."

"No need, once I return, I have someone guiding me, it’ll be faster!"

"We have a few girls here who admire you a lot, do you want to meet them?"

"Great! Take me to them right away!"

The protagonist instantly changed his mind, for him, the battles in the Law Cosmos are sometimes too boring. Why shouldn’t he enjoy what Zhao Yi’s admirers indulge in every day?

Without realizing it, he had already fallen into a huge trap!

Law Cosmos.

Meeting with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal made Zhao Yi particularly happy, to the point where he couldn’t help but hum a tune while walking or flying.

"Master, you seem to be in a good mood."

"Of course, if you had capable subordinates expanding your territory, you’d be happy too. By the way, I have a question for you."

"Please ask, Master."

"Every time I return to the New World, the Human Emperor Bell rings non-stop. Is there a way to silence it?"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was puzzled, not understanding why Zhao Yi would have such a thought. After all, the ringing of the Human Emperor Bell continually establishes Zhao Yi’s authority, reminding everyone who the ruler of the world is.

"You’re right, but you must know, if some people know I’m back, they’ll surely hide the bad stuff, how can that be sustained over time!"

Zhao Yi knows very well that no world can exist without conflicts, and the New World is no exception.

This is an eternal law in the Cosmos.

Therefore, Zhao Yi wants to actively discover and resolve issues during the development of the New World, ensuring its stable expansion.

Removing those hidden dangers in time, preventing pitfalls for himself!

After Zhao Yi’s explanation, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal couldn’t help but flatter him.

"My great Master, you are truly far-sighted, unmatched by anyone!"

"Shut up, let’s be serious!"

"It’s actually quite simple, you just need to summon a clone and instruct it to silence the Human Emperor Bell!"

Zhao Yi did as instructed, and the clone agreed. However, before the clone returned, it also summoned the Human Emperor Bell.

Zhao Yi was surprised to find that the surface of the Human Emperor Bell had changed, with dazzling lights flowing across it. When Zhao Yi gently touched it, he felt a powerful and ancient force emanating from it.

"This has only appeared in the recent days, completely different from before, which is why I informed you."

"You did the right thing, but what exactly is this? Are you playing dumb? I’ll smash you!"

Zhao Yi started joking around with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

"Master, I thought you knew. The Human Emperor Bell is about to unlock a new ability, and the radiant glow represents new power!"

"Isn’t that obvious? I’m asking you what the new ability is!"

"I don’t know either!"

"You brat! Making fun of me!"

As they were joking, the clone Zhao Yi vanished, and Zhao Yi returned to the New World with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, where, indeed, the Human Emperor Bell did not ring.

Consequently, when he saw Linglong, her expression was completely different from before, quite unpleasant this time.

"King! Why have you returned!"

Linglong was very surprised!

"Just now, what’s happened? You look so grim."

Linglong hesitated but knew she couldn’t hide it from Zhao Yi.

"Something happened! For days now, dozens of people have died in the Capital City, and without exception, they have all turned into dried corpses!"

Zhao Yi said nothing, allowing Linglong to lead him to the mortuary.

This place was within a large manor in the southern part of the Capital City, surrounded by guards, forbidding anyone from approaching!

"Greetings, King!"

Zhao Yi was silent and went straight in.

In the mortuary, dozens of corpses lay in a row, and Zhao Yi noticed that these corpses were not very tall.

"Have you identified their identities and ages? They don’t seem like high-level cultivators, more like ordinary people."

"Yes, all the deceased are male, aged eighteen. I’ve met their families, who say the children were very intelligent and full of Spiritual Energy, cultivating at the academy and performing exceptionally well!"

Linglong felt heartbroken as she spoke. These children could have become the backbone of the New World, but now they’ve died young, a significant loss indeed.

Zhao Yi’s mind raced, wondering what could have happened.

"Master, it’s likely someone is practicing an evil technique. I can’t think of any other possibility."

The speculation of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal mirrored Zhao Yi’s, as the New World was in a hidden state, unseen by the Nether Tree, and the cosmic beasts as well. Only someone from within the New World could have done this.

"But if that’s the case, why didn’t the clone detect it? Normally, as the Heavenly Dao Will of the New Era, it should have insight into everything."

"You’re right, it can see everything but cannot interfere. The Heavenly Dao is always impartial, treating all matters and people equally. This is how heaven and earth are unkind, viewing all creatures as straw dogs!"

"Does that mean if I die one day, it won’t care either?"

Zhao Yi’s tone suddenly became relaxed, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal did not respond.

After leaving the mortuary, Zhao Yi didn’t speak for a long time.

"These bodies will remain here temporarily. Once we identify the culprit, I’ll personally lay these children to rest!"

"Don’t worry, within three days I will give you an explanation!"

"No need, I’ll handle this myself!"

Zhao Yi declined Linglong’s continued investigation and instructed her to keep quiet about it.

The Cultivator Academy was recently established.

The cultivator teachers here were excellent, not only specializing in advanced techniques but also learning other series of knowledge, such as philosophy and management, a further education version of the general academy. Linglong founded it after careful consideration.

She knew that as the New World gradually expanded, the needs for management increased, and the old mode was no longer effective, nor was the knowledge taught in past academies sufficient.

The deceased children were all from this academy. Now, after this incident, ninety-nine percent of the cultivator students coming for intensive study had decreased, with Law level teachers sleeping half the day.

"Teacher, is this the registration office?"

"Are you here to register?! You want advanced study!"

The teacher seemed like he hadn’t eaten for three days and saw a steamed bun, his eyes glowing as he looked at the child in front of him.

"Yes, I’m about to graduate in a month, and I’d like to register for further studies."

"Good, good! Sit down, someone quickly serve tea to this student!"

Zhao Yi appeared very welcoming, but the child remained calm, observing the busy teachers around, trying to identify the culprit, but in the end, finding nothing!

The registration process went smoothly, and the teacher insisted on taking the child for a tour around the academy, which was exactly what the child wanted!
