Upon hearing that the murderer had been caught, Yang Xiaotian said in a deep voice, “Have they found out who sent him?”

“Liao Kun and the others have interrogated him.” Luo Qing said, “He was sent by He Qingzhe of the Tiandou Academy.”

“Tiandou Academy, He Qingzhe?” Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank.

He had not expected this matter to be connected to the Tiandou Academy.

“Yes, the Tiandou Academy,” Luo Qing said. “This He Qingzhe is an Inner Court Student at the Tiandou Academy. His talent is extremely high, especially in alchemy, and he can be called the number one of the younger generation at the Tiandou Academy.”

“He is now one of the three most dazzling talents at the Tiandou Academy.”

“Moreover, he is of noble descent from the Wuding Country, the nephew of the King of Wuding Country.”

Upon hearing what Luo Qing said, Yang Xiaotian frowned.

The nephew of the King of Wuding Country?

Beneath the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, there are forty-six kingdoms.

Wuding Country is the strongest among these forty-six kingdoms and ranks first.

Only the Ancient Sword Kingdom comes after it.

“Did they find out why he wanted to assassinate my sister?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

He had no previous grievances with this He Qingzhe.

Today was the first time he had heard the other party’s name.

“They asked. The murderer said that actually, He Qingzhe’s true intention was not to kill Ling’er, but to capture her and make you hand over the Gale Torrential Rain alchemy technique,” Luo Qing said.

Yang Xiaotian’s brows tightened.

“Young Master, how should the murderer be dealt with?” Luo Qing asked.

“Kill him,” Yang Xiaotian said coldly. Then he added, “Also, have Liao Kun and the others bring my parents and Ling’er to Divine Sword City.”

Luo Qing acknowledged this.

“By the way, Young Master, there’s another matter,” Luo Qing suddenly remembered something and said, “News just came from the Divine Sword Academy, stating that the Tiandou Academy has brought forward its admission for the next year.”

“They’ve set the date for the end of this year.”

The words from Luo Qing surprised Yang Xiaotian, “Brought forward?”

The early admission of the Tiandou Academy was major news.

The end of this year? That meant it was half a year early.

“Why?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

“Not clear,” Luo Qing said. “The Tiandou Academy did not specify the reason; they just requested that all the major kingdoms conduct academy competitions in three months, and the top ten from each country will then go to the Tiandou Academy for the freshman assessment.”

In three months?

The news was very sudden.

A while later, Luo Qing left.

Yang Xiaotian stood in the courtyard, thinking about He Qingzhe and the Tiandou Academy’s admission.

“He Qingzhe.” His eyes were cold.

Whoever dared to touch his family, no matter which kingdom’s royalty they were, he would repay them a hundredfold.

The next day.

After dawn, Yang Xiaotian went to say goodbye to Li Wen.

“Friend Yang, you’re returning to Divine Sword City?” Li Wen was astonished.

Yang Xiaotian gave a hum and said, “The Tiandou Academy has brought forward its admissions, and the academy competitions will be in three months. I want to return to Divine Sword City and prepare early.”

Li Wen nodded; he had just found out about the Tiandou Academy’s early admissions, which was quite sudden.

Still, hearing Yang Xiaotian’s intent to participate in the academy competition, Li Wen couldn’t help but be surprised, “Friend Yang, you’re going to participate in this academy competition?”

For each academy competition between the kingdoms, it is generally those in the Martial King Realm who register to participate.

At the very least, he must have reached the Innate Tenth Order.

However, Yang Xiaotian, although his alchemy level was high, seemed to not possess strong personal combat prowess.

It hasn’t even been a year since Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul Awakening, and even with further cultivation, Li Wen did not believe Yang Xiaotian had any hope of seizing a position within the top ten of Divine Sea Country.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, “I want to try.”

Even without cultivating in the medicinal pool, with his previous strength, he could have easily taken the first place in Divine Sea Country.

Now, his strength was such that even ten Liao Kuns were no match for him, let alone Hu Xing and the others.

At these words, Li Wen smiled, no longer trying to persuade Yang Xiaotian, and then the conversation turned to Yang Ling’er. Smiling at Yang Xiaotian, Li Wen said, “Congratulations, Friend Yang, your younger sister has awakened a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul, and the news has shaken both domestic and foreign nations. I’m afraid even the Empire will be taken aback when the time comes.”

The news of Yang Ling’er awakening a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul had spread like a hurricane, causing an uproar throughout Divine Sea Country.

As can be imagined, the Divine Dragon Empire would soon hear the news, and then, the powers and mighty ones of the Empire would likely flock to them in droves.

A Supreme Martial Spirit could go unnoticed by the Empire, but a fourteenth-grade Supreme Martial Spirit would definitely alarm the top superpowers of the Empire.

Looking at the Yang Xiaotian before him, Li Wen was filled with myriad emotions. Yang Xiaotian had already become a nationally renowned genius, and now, his sister was even more monstrous.

“Thank you, Grand Hall Master Li,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, cupping his fist in salute: “We shall take our leave now.” Then he led Wu Qi and Luo Qing out of the Grand Pharmacist Hall.

His urgency to return to Divine Sword City was primarily because of his sister Yang Ling’er’s awakening of a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul.

As Li Wen had said, when the Empire’s great superpowers were stirred, Divine Sword City would undoubtedly become a place of swirling clouds and raging waters.

He needed to stand by his family’s side.

Watching Yang Xiaotian leave, every Pharmacist of the Grand Pharmacist Hall could not help but see him off with tear-filled eyes.

Li Wen escorted Yang Xiaotian out of Divine Sword City personally.

As he watched Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure, he couldn’t help but become emotional about his sister.

Yang Xiaotian walked the mountain path with Wu Qi and Luo Qing, and the sky gradually darkened.

Just as the three of them were passing through some desolate mountains and ridges, suddenly, countless arrows shot out.

The arrows, with their black and shiny tips, were evidently coated with potent poison.

“Young master, be careful!” Luo Qing cried out at the sight, swinging his broadsword to raise a gust of wind to block the arrows, while Wu Qi simply waved his large staff lightly, sending all the arrows flying back the way they came.

Immediately, there were screams from the dark.

Then, it fell quiet.

On a nearby desolate mountain, groups upon groups of Blood Saber Gang members emerged from the dark.

The numbers were extremely large; there were actually two to three thousand people!

Yang Xiaotian was surprised to see the Blood Saber Gang had mobilized two to three thousand people.

It seemed that the Blood Saber Gang had turned out in full force in order to kill him.

At that moment, the Blood Saber Gang members opened a path, and the towering Blood Saber Gang Leader, with a large saber in hand, stepped forward. Standing on the mountaintop, he looked down at Yang Xiaotian with contempt, “Divine Yang?”

Clearly, he had already investigated Yang Xiaotian’s identity.

However, even knowing Yang Xiaotian’s identity, he still intended to make his move.

“Is it you who killed my son?” The Blood Saber Gang Leader leaned on his large saber, his eyes cold and fierce.

“You could say so,” Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently.

“You could say so?” The Blood Saber Gang Leader laughed grimly, then suddenly swung his large saber. With a thunderous roar, he commanded, “Kill!”

Instantly, over two thousand Blood Saber Gang members leaped down from the mountain, brandishing their sabers and rushing to attack Yang Xiaotian and his companions.

The over two thousand Blood Saber Gang members, dense and swarming like ants.

Watching the Blood Saber Gang onslaught, Luo Qing immediately stepped forward with his saber, violently slashing out, sending out dozens of sword energies like extended whips, instantly scattering a group of Blood Saber Gang members.

Luo Qing charged into the midst of the Blood Saber Gang members.

But it wasn’t long before he was overwhelmed by the dense crowd of Blood Saber Gang members.
