The Emperor is Above

Chapter 285 Are you coming here just for me?
"That's right, the two people were eaten cleanly, there was not a trace of blood on the white bones!"

Zhu Zhiwu looked panicked, pale, and extremely uneasy, saying, "I just saw the scene with my own eyes, it was really horrifying."

Yang Hu also looked uneasy: "At the Beast Fang Puppet Soldier Competition yesterday, not only did the High Priest express his appreciation, you also gave such a generous reward, and many students in the Imperial College were very tempted.

At night, many Imperial College students did not go home, but stayed in the Imperial College to conduct research and production. Many people also studied rune formations in the library.

Unexpectedly, two skeletons were found in a remote classroom this morning. At first, they thought it was a prank by others, but later they found out that two students from the Imperial College were murdered.

"hiss--"

Qing Yi took a deep breath, it was really unexpected that the sudden change happened so quickly.

The monster disguised as Xing Jiyin had only committed crimes in the lower city in order to hide his identity.

This made the king, Lord Xing, and the other ministers in the court believe that at least the upper and middle cities were safe, and they were not so eager to search for its trace.

Now, contrary to its usual behavior, it is suddenly eating people in the upper city, and in the Imperial College adjacent to the palace. It is not just a simple change of the crime scene, there are many frightening implications.

Eating people wantonly in such a sensitive place meant that the monster thought it didn't need to hide for too long. It even meant that its strength had greatly increased after nearly a year of lurking and it no longer had to worry about a first-class grandmaster finding it.

Just as Qing Yi was thinking about what changes this tragedy would bring to the capital, groups of Imperial College students walked out of the Imperial College in panic. After the tragedy, they could no longer stay in the Imperial College.

Many of the Imperial College students who had become good friends with Qing Yi recently came over to say hello when they passed by, and asked whether the Beast Fang Puppet Soldier Competition would still be held after the New Year.

Qing Yi bowed to them one by one with a solemn expression and said, "I created this beast-fang puppet soldier in order to make progress together with you all, but I never expected such a tragedy to happen.

Until the New Year, I will continue to stay in the capital. If anyone has better innovations or ideas, they can go to the 'Tang Sanzang' store in the lower city to exchange for rewards."

"It turns out that the 'Tang Sanzang' that has been doing hot business in the lower city recently is actually Guqiu Yi's business!"

Amid the exclamations of many Imperial College students, Xing Shuan, the third son of the Marquis of Xing, came out accompanied by a dozen Imperial College students. With a complex expression, he said,
"I first heard of Gu Qiuyi's name a few months ago. I knew there was such a talented young man in the country. I had been looking forward to meeting you. When we unexpectedly met in the library a few nights ago, I was quite happy.

I didn’t expect that such a tragedy would happen in the Imperial College after just a few days of knowing each other. I have to return to the palace now. I just hope that the two great masters Qianye Weng and Shimen Sou can find the monster as soon as possible. Alas——"

"We parted when we were young, and met again when we were old. You and I are both young, and we will have many opportunities to meet again in the end."

Qing Yi smiled and returned the gift to Xing Shuan, but in his heart he was wondering if this young man might also have the idea of ​​competing for the throne, otherwise he wouldn't be trying so hard to win people's hearts.

"Everyone, go home quickly! Guozi College will temporarily suspend classes for a month."

Following an old voice, the High Priest Chen Lun walked out with a solemn expression. As the High Priest, he had to take responsibility for the tragedy that occurred in the Imperial College.

Dozens of professors and doctors dressed in robes of various colors, each holding tools, came out. They were not sending students out, but to strengthen the defense formation of the upper city.

After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Yang Hu returned to his home in the upper city. Qing Yi left the upper city accompanied by Zhu Zhiwu and dozens of imperial students. Their residences were all in the central city.

As the news spread quickly, the atmosphere in the upper and middle cities quickly became tense, and the streets, which were already sparsely populated, became even emptier. The night guards and city guards inside and outside the city walls were on high alert, and crossbow carts and city defense equipment were carried out one after another. The atmosphere of war suddenly spread.

The Eagle Guards on the two corner towers in the middle city kept taking off, closely patrolling the area around the capital for any unusual situations. The Black Armor Cavalry were also on standby in the upper city, ready to attack at any time.

As Qing Yi left the upper city, he saw many talisman masters, sorcerers, mechanism masters, and weapon refiners in the Mage Camp who were busy setting up various defensive formations, mechanism traps, and so on.

Zhu Zhiwu scratched his head and said, "It's really strange. The defenses of the upper city and the middle city have always been strict, but such a terrible monster sneaked in. I hope these rune formations are effective."

Hearing these words, Qing Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. After the monster disguised himself as Xing Jiyin, it always entered and exited the upper city openly. No matter how tight the defense measures of the upper city were, they would be of no use.

He originally wanted to go to the central city to warn Zuo Shi Ran You, Zi Che Zhong Xing and others, but the Third Division's camp was under martial law. Qing Yi was also worried about the safety of Tun Shi Gu, Shi Lu Dan and others, so he and everyone else hurried to the lower city.

Although the news had spread to the upper city and the middle city, the king blocked the gate of the middle city more tightly to prevent chaos in the capital. However, Qing Yi was able to pass through unimpeded with the king's token.

Compared to the solemn atmosphere in the upper and middle cities, the vast majority of people in the lower city of the capital have not received the news yet, and the streets are still bustling and noisy.

Only a few perceptive citizens, through the unusual conditions in the upper and middle cities, as well as the increased patrols by the city guards in the lower city, sensed that something unexpected might have happened in the capital again. They were inevitably uneasy, but could only helplessly wait for fate to take its course.

Qing Yi went from the central city gate to the shops in the lower city, choosing the shortest route through an alley. When he passed an intersection, he saw a familiar figure flash by, and his scalp suddenly tingled: "Isn't that Xing Jiyin?"

He never expected that after committing crimes at the Imperial College in the upper city last night, this monster disguised as Xing Jiyin would run to the lower city again. Did he have other plans, or was he coming for him?

Qing Yi held the five-foot-long sword at his waist and ran quickly in the opposite direction without hesitation, because he subconsciously smelled the scent of danger.

His Qi training has now reached the level of spiritual clarity, and his physical strength exceeds that of a third-grade warrior. Even if he is fighting against a second-grade judge, Qing Yi has the confidence to hold out for a quarter of an hour.

However, the monster disguised as Xing Jiyin is not even afraid of a first-grade grandmaster now. I am afraid that his real strength is at least not much different from that of a first-grade master. It is better to run away.

However, Qing Yi had only run a hundred steps when Xing Jiyin's figure blocked his way again. This time, he sneered without disguising himself, "Hehe, Sergeant Guqiu Yi, I thought you would catch up with me. It's really a waste of my energy. But no matter how fast you run, you can't escape."

At this moment, Xing Jiyin's eyes were filled with greed. A sharp scarlet tongue stretched out and licked his lips slightly. He looked completely different from when he was in the Imperial College. He was completely a monster in human skin.

"bass--"

Qing Yi drew out the five-foot-long sword from his waist, pointed it at the slowly approaching Xing Jiyin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Are you coming specifically for me? How do you know that I have discovered your identity?"

"Hey, I came down to the city at this critical moment, of course I came specifically for you!"

The monster disguised as Xing Jiyin approached slowly with light steps, a strange and smug smile on his face, "As for how I know you discovered my identity, of course someone told me specifically."

Oh my god, from 7pm to 10:30pm, there was not a single new member. Do all my readers have girlfriends or wives? Congratulations to everyone for having someone to accompany them. By the way, pity the few new members I have today.
