CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 354: HEAVY STRIKE EDUCATION

Gu Qing’s expression was solemn.

"Back in September City, when the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departments’ Library Pavilion was about to open, a group of mysterious people appeared."

"Their target was the array on the fifth floor."

"If it weren’t for Lord Gu Wang’s timely intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"But after this incident, the minister of the Three Judicial Departments in September City was dismissed and sent to the Imperial City."

"What happened after that is unknown."

Hearing this, Qin Ke’s face changed suddenly.

"Are these mysterious people Hidden Kill?"

"Yes!"

Gu Qing nodded, "This is also what Lord Gu Wang told us afterward."

"Hidden Kill is very mysterious, and despite Great Yu’s many years of encirclement, they remain unharmed."

"They have even attempted to assassinate many members of the Imperial Family and high ministers!"

"Hiss--"

Qin Ke took a sharp intake of breath.

How arrogant!

To dare assassinate the Imperial Family, they really must not see Great Yu as anything.

Perhaps their target is indeed Great Yu!

"You’d better discuss this matter with Lord Xuan King."

After all, he’s only at the Early-Stage Profound Realm; this level of strength is really insufficient. Based on past experience, at least a Dao Realm expert is needed to sit in.

"Hmm!"

Of course, he was going to find his mentor, but... he then asked, "Won’t Great Yu send experts?"

"Not necessarily. Some mansions will send them, others won’t. As for the reason, I don’t know."

At that time, Great Yu sent three Dao Realm experts to September City’s Three Judicial Departments.

However, these Dao Realm experts were deployed from the entrance of the Demon Realm.

"What the hell is going on with the array on the fifth floor!"

Qin Ke was quite dissatisfied; Zong Peng didn’t explain in detail before leaving.

He just emphasized that the array on the fifth floor is crucial, and must be watched over. If something goes wrong, it’s not just about whether the minister’s position can be maintained, but whether his life can be preserved.

But damn it, he didn’t say why.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Gu Qing remained silent and quietly left the main hall.

"Go find my mentor!"

Qin Ke suddenly stood up.

Though more than a year remains, preparations must be made in advance.

...

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Qin Ke quietly arrived at Chen Xuan’s cultivation room.

And detailed the news about Hidden Kill.

"Hidden Kill?"

Chen Xuan murmured the words; it was the first time he had heard of this organization.

Thinking back, when he was in September City, Qin Hong’s scolding of Qin Ying was probably related to this Hidden Kill.

Assassinating the Imperial Family!

And after so many years, Great Yu hasn’t eliminated them.

That shows just how strong Hidden Kill must be.

"Alright, you should go back first. I, as your mentor, know about this now. Just focus on your normal cultivation; I’ll take care of the rest."

"Phew—"

Even though it was a simple sentence, hearing it made Qin Ke relax significantly.

Thinking about it, every time he faced an unsolvable problem, his mentor was there to back him up.

"Thank you, mentor!"

Qin Ke bowed and saluted, his expression full of respect.

Chen Xuan slightly nodded and waved his hand.

After he left, Chen Xuan felt quite annoyed.

It hadn’t been peaceful for long, and now there’s another incident.

What the hell is going on?

Can’t he have a little peace for a while!

After a long time!

He let out a long sigh. Since the matter has already arisen, he can’t ignore it.

After all, he also needs to go to the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion, and he cannot ignore Qin Ke either.

"Pengyou, come to me."

Chen Xuan sent a transmission to Gu Pengyou.

Since Gu Qing knows, she should know even more.

Even if she’s not clear, she can ask Gu Yun.

At this time, Gu Pengyou was reading the ancient books Chen Xuan had collected from various mansions.

When she heard his voice, her whole body shook.

Her brows slightly furrowed.

Rather helplessly, she put down the book and left the room.

When she arrived at Chen Xuan’s place, she was quite displeased, "Can you not suddenly transmit the next time? You scared me!"

"Uh—"

"Sorry, I’ll be more careful next time."

Chen Xuan awkwardly smiled; he just wanted to be quick and didn’t think much.

"So, what’s the matter?"

Gu Pengyou didn’t press further, sat beside him, and felt hungry the moment she saw the pink pastries on the table.

Without any hesitation, she picked up a piece to eat.

Chen Xuan watched her with a smile. After spending a lot of time together, she had changed quite a bit.

She was much more at ease.

Or perhaps this was her true self.

"Have you heard of Hidden Kill?"

Instantly!

Gu Pengyou froze.

She slowly raised her head, her expression turning panicked. About to speak, she forgot there was still pastry in her mouth.

"Cough cough cough!"

Chen Xuan poured her a cup of tea and pushed it to her.

She quickly took a sip and immediately asked, "How did you provoke Hidden Kill!"

"Not me!"

Chen Xuan shrugged, "It’s because the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departments’ Library Pavilion is about to open."

Hearing this, Gu Pengyou suddenly realized, "Indeed, when any mansion’s Three Judicial Departments reaches this point, it’s the most dangerous."

"Explain in detail!"

"Hmm...."

Gu Pengyou pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I’m not too clear on the details. It’s just that once, while my second uncle and father were having dinner, they mentioned it."

"It was after Great Yu was founded when this Hidden Kill suddenly appeared."

"Initially, they killed many members of the Imperial Family and high ministers."

"However, despite sending many experts, they could not be eradicated."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, Hidden Kill can be said to be spread across the Eastern Continent, though they only appear occasionally."

"It’s only in the last thousand years that they’ve become active."

Gu Pengyou shared everything she knew.

"Hundreds of thousands of years!"

Chen Xuan was quite shocked, to survive for so long only proves one thing: they’re truly powerful enough.
