She is Jianxiu

From the moment Suotu Yi laid down his Free Heaven Formation until his death at the hands of Zhao Chun, the fierce battle that had gripped the hearts of onlookers lasted less than half an hour.

Zhao Chun stepped on sword energy and had only been out of the Free Heaven for a short time when she sensed several hidden auras in the surrounding area. They were clearly attracted by the initial commotion and intended to investigate.

She flicked her sleeve, showing no interest in these insignificant people. With a casual wave of her hand, she released the two dazed elders of the Suotu family from her hidden space in her sleeve. Then she captured Si Que Deyin from the mountaintop. Only then did she feel that everything was in order and could be transferred to the academy.

On the other side, Fang Qi sat leisurely in the hall with his hands tucked in his pockets, thinking to himself that neither of the two combatants were ordinary people. If it were just a matter of determining who was better, that would be fine. But if they wanted to decide who would live and who would die, it would not be something that could be decided in a short time.

After sitting for a while, Fang Qigu opened her eyes, still curious about the battle in the Free Heaven. Just as she was carefully observing, Zhao Chun also emerged from there. Their eyes met across a great distance, and Fang Qigu's hair stood on end. She couldn't help but shudder and exclaimed in disbelief, "It's Zhao Chun! How did she get out!"

Could it be that Suotu Yi did not release Zizai Luotian from the Heavenly River Sand?
But how can this explain the sudden change in the sky? Besides, this celestial sand is her own treasure; there's no way she could have misjudged it!

Now that Zhao Chun has appeared, but Suo Tu Yi is nowhere to be seen, according to their previous calculations, it means that the latter has died on the spot, his body and soul gone.

Admittedly, Fang Qi was not too surprised by Zhao Chun's victory, but she really did not expect that Zhao Chun would act so swiftly, as if killing a person of the same rank without lifting a finger.

It should be noted that Suotuyi still possessed two Wen Gu (a type of magical artifact), and if he were to fight recklessly, even the senior instructors in the academy would have little confidence in killing him. Yet Zhao Chun accomplished this, not only by not saying it, but also by making it seem as if she had encountered no obstacle whatsoever.

This is hard not to be surprised.

“The ancestor is right. These Qi cultivators possess extraordinary abilities and cannot be regarded as ordinary people.” Fang Qigu clicked his tongue in amazement. While his heart was pounding at the result of the battle, he turned back to ask the ancestor Fang Li for more information.

As soon as she turned around, her eyes immediately fell on the people in the hall. In an instant, before Fang Qi could even utter the words "Grand Ancestor," her expression suddenly turned to one of terror.

The figure on the high platform was ashen-faced, bleeding from all seven orifices; she had been dead for some time now, without her knowledge…

Fang Qi let out a loud cry, and a bone-chilling cold instantly climbed to the top of her head, causing her to tremble uncontrollably, as if her death was imminent.

In this vast capital city of Lijing, who else could make a second-rank scholar die silently?
Fang Qi's jaw clenched, but he couldn't utter the name of the instigator. His body jolted violently, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Meanwhile, in several mansions in the city, people were dying one after another. If Zhao Chun were here, he would know that these dead people were the same aristocratic scholars who had visited Suo Tu Yi that day and had openly and secretly instigated him to fight Zhao Chun.

Gushe Academy.

Si Queyi had only just bid farewell to Zhao Chun when she calmly returned with Deyin. Upon seeing this, Si Queyi couldn't contain his surprise and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Senior and sister, you've returned so quickly. Did something go wrong with the plan?" After all, today's plan couldn't be considered foolproof; capturing the two fourth-rank elders of the Suotu family was merely a symbolic test. Even if Suotu Yi refused to come out, Zhao Chun still had other options.

Fortunately, as soon as Zhao Chun walked in, she immediately dismissed Si Queyi's concerns and then loudly announced, "Suo Tu Yi is dead, and your Si Que family can rest assured from now on."

There was still a hint of nonchalance and pleasure in his voice, showing that eliminating this scourge would also be of great benefit to Zhao Chun himself.

Behind her, Si Que Deyin appeared humble, but she was not really clear about what had happened in Zizai Luotian. She only knew that after the crimson hand appeared, there was a period of complete silence. Not long after, Zhao Chun suddenly appeared again, waved her hand and grabbed her to his side. After that, the two returned to the academy.

Hearing Zhao Chun confidently declare that Suo Tu Yi was dead, she was stunned for a moment. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked at her cousin in front of her and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
Is Suotu Yi dead?
Suotu Yi, who had supported the Suotu family for a century and whose name was known to everyone in Mianzhou City, had actually died!

Although she knew the truth behind the story and understood that the conflict between Zhao Chun and Suo Tu Yi hadn't just reached a point of life and death, Si Queyi's heart still jumped in shock when she heard the news. She thought to herself that Zhao Chun, as an extraterrestrial visitor, was probably much stronger than they had imagined.

She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and was even more grateful that her ancestor had been insightful and had not allowed the clan elders to bully and suppress her. Otherwise, how many members of the Sique clan would have been able to withstand this retaliation today?

Zhao Chun glanced at the two men, feeling a pang of emotion. She realized that their awe was probably due to fear, so she sighed inwardly and went into the inner room.

Now that Suotuyi is dead, the troubles that followed cannot be said to be completely over. Whether this matter can end well, and how it should end well, is ultimately not up to her; it depends on the will of the Grand Master.

Thinking of this, she lost interest in continuing the conversation and simply sat cross-legged in the inner room before taking out the Heavenly River Sand from her sleeve to examine it.

Three to five days later, Si Queyi's terrified and disoriented voice came through: "Senior, something terrible has happened! A major incident has occurred in Lijing City!"

She ran all the way from outside, but dared not barge into the room where Zhao Chun was meditating, so she could only tell him what she had heard from outside the door.

Zhao Chun opened her eyes and just then heard the news of the sudden death of the Fang family's second-rank scholar. In an instant, the identity of the person behind the incident was revealed.

First came the second-rank scholar from the Fang family, then the elders of various noble families who appeared at Suotuyi's residence that day. The Grand Master Mitian's thunderous rage was truly astonishing, far more shocking than Suotuyi's death.

Even Zhao Chun himself hadn't expected the other party's anger to be so widespread, even extending to a second-rank scholar.

According to her previous deductions, the second-grade cultivation level corresponds to the Void Realm cultivation level. In this light, wouldn't Mi Tian's strength be even more terrifying?
Or rather, the lineage of the Qianming Realm and the cultivation of the Xuanmen are not comparable. Even among second-rank scholars, the difference in strength is probably greater than that between powerful cultivators!
Zhao Chun nodded, silently confirming her thoughts. (End of Chapter)
