Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 558 Crying
"Ah? The mysterious master isn't Song Juesi, but Zhou Leng? Hiss... No wonder, no wonder..." A theological scholar who had experienced cultivation in the Ancient River Sect suddenly realized that everything that seemed illogical before was now connected.

Why was Zhou Leng able to unlock the Ancient River Sect's inheritance? Why was Zhou Leng able to become the Ancient River Sect's senior disciple? Why was Zhou Leng the contact person for the mysterious master?

"However, I just heard some news that Zhou Leng was seriously injured while participating in the Great Battle and is currently at the First Military Hospital of the Demon City."

"What? The mysterious master is injured? He's a national treasure, even a treasure of all humanity!"

"Since he's in Xiongcheng, let's ask him and verify it."

"My God, the pronunciation of the divine script is also Zhou Leng's! The shape of the divine script is also Zhou Leng's! Look at the new information released..."

A group of elderly experts with white hair quickly flipped through the new information from the Divine Script Bureau.

The divine script pronunciation originating from the dwarven world, the divine script translation originating from the Ancient River Sect, the divine script content originating from the Demon Spirit World... all the divine script achievements of everyone else over the past year have actually belonged to Zhou Leng alone.

One person muttered to himself, "There were rumors circulating in the industry before that a mysterious master controlled half of the Divine Script World, which was indeed a rumor. The truth is, Zhou Leng controls the entire Divine Script World."

“Let’s go visit the mysterious master… no, Master Zhou.”

The news spread like wildfire, and the experts in the Divine Script from Xiongjing even skipped their meals to rush to the First Military Hospital of the Demon City.

After attending the meeting, Zhao Nandi didn't plan to go to the dinner party and returned to her office.

The rumors about Zhou Leng these days have been making her very upset.

Soon, someone called and told her that the mysterious master was Zhou Leng.

Her first reaction was bewilderment, but then she realized that it might be a misunderstanding, that she had mistaken Zhou Leng for Song Juesi.

However, as evidence piled up, she had no choice but to make a phone call to inquire.

I learned that Zhou Leng was previously on a protection list that was not made public, but today it was ordered from above to be made public.

This Zhou Leng is the mysterious master.

Zhao Nandi was stunned.

Much later, she reread her chat history with the "mysterious master".

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes.

She suddenly noticed some details, such as that she had just said some things to Zhou Leng, but the mysterious master turned around and said them to her.

She didn't think much of it at the time.

But now, thinking about it carefully and recalling the events surrounding the ancient river ruins...

"You brat! How dare you flirt with your teacher..." Zhao Nandi's face flushed red.

She hurriedly went to her WeChat Moments and deleted several screenshots.

Inside, there were countless praises of her from the "mysterious master."

She still remembers how smug she looked after being praised, and how she was so happy she almost rolled around on the floor.

Now that I think about it, my face gets hotter.

"He's already back from the great battlefield, and he didn't even bother to call me. Unworthy disciple..." Zhao Nandi gritted his teeth and drove straight to the First Military Hospital of Demon City.

Downstairs at the First Military Hospital of the Demon City.

Several long-haired inspectors, dressed in black uniforms and carrying black briefcases, walked into the hospital with an air of righteousness.

Then, a camouflage vehicle stopped, and a group of Xiongjing soldiers walked in.

The doctor had already left the ward.

Two martial arts brigade soldiers in camouflage uniforms blocked the entrance.

He remained unmoved no matter what the two police officers said.

The two police officers were well aware of the consequences of forcing their way in, so they stepped aside and made phone calls to their superiors for instructions.

"You two don't need to worry about this. Just stay there and cooperate with your superiors."

The two police officers stood still, whispering amongst themselves, trying to guess how things would turn out.

As they were talking, they saw a righteous-looking inspector followed by a squad of military officers walking briskly towards them.

The two police officers sensed something was amiss. Generally, inspectors don't appear in the early stages of a case, and even if they do, it's only to gather information about the case.

But now, it's clearly not like they're trying to understand the case, since even the police haven't questioned anyone.

There's only one possibility: to make it an ironclad case.

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood that someone was afraid things might get complicated and was planning to take Zhou Leng from his hospital bed to the detention center, where he would be completely unaffected by Chen Shouhu and Wang Boxiong.

They even brought along the supervising soldiers who were in charge of the Demon City Army. The nature of the matter was beyond imagination.

The two were in an increasingly difficult situation; it was clearly a battle between gods, and the little devils were suffering the consequences.

The inspector walked to the door and explained his purpose.

The two martial arts brigades remained motionless.

The inspector took out the arrest warrant and handed it to the two police officers.

The two police officers, steeling themselves, explained the situation according to procedure.

The martial arts troupe still refused.

Subsequently, the supervising soldiers from Xiongjing stepped forward, showed their identification, and took the two men away.

The two first called Chen Shouhu to explain the situation, and then left with the supervising soldiers.

The police officers and inspectors pushed open the door and went straight to Zhou Leng's bedside.

"What are you doing? This is the intensive care unit!" The nurse was alarmed. She had been instructed to take good care of Zhou Leng, so why were so many people suddenly coming in?

"Zhou Leng, please pack your things and come with us to the detention center," the inspector said coldly.

The two police officers glanced at the gauze covering Zhou Leng's body and could vaguely see the huge wound underneath; they felt a pang of pity.

The young constable said, "He's seriously injured. I think we should just keep him here for questioning. There's no need to detain or arrest him." The inspector gave the constable a cold look and said, "Everyone is equal before the law. Please carry out the order."

"what happened!"

The clattering of high heels came from the doorway. Zhao Nandi, who had just left Shenwen General Hospital, was wearing a white coat. She walked quickly to Zhou Leng's side and her heart trembled when she saw the injuries on Zhou Leng's body.

She bent down to adjust the gauze, nodded to Zhou Leng, and turned to look at the inspectors and police officers.

A cold glint filled Zhao Nandi's eyes.

Having lived in Xiongcheng for many years, upon seeing this situation and recalling the unusual media coordination in recent days, she vaguely guessed some possibilities.

“We are from the Xiongcheng Police Station and the Inspectorate. Please do not obstruct official business,” an inspector said.

Zhao Nandi took out his work ID and said, "I am Zhao Nandi, a divine script expert from the Divine Script Academy. This Zhou Leng is a divine script master of us, no, of all mankind. I would like to know your purpose in coming here."

The inspectors smiled indifferently. The title of Master Divine Script was impressive, but his status in the Martial Academy hierarchy was not important.

Even the greatest masters have to stand up and offer a toast.

If it were an academician or someone like that, they would naturally not dare to act recklessly, but what great achievements could a mere young man in his early twenties possibly make, even if he understood divine script?
Moreover, the people behind this operation are very confident.

The inspector said, "We arrested Zhou Leng and interrogated him in accordance with legal procedures."

"Arrest or detention?" Zhao Nandi wondered if he had misheard.

The degree of arrest is far more severe than detention.

"arrest."

Zhao Nandi was stunned for a moment, her eyes blazing with anger. She had heard of many similar things, and thought they were just a few exceptions or accidents, but she never expected that it would happen to her.

"Lawless! Lawless!" Zhao Nandi glared at the inspector.

The inspectors' expressions changed, but this was Xiongcheng after all, and they dared not lash out. They turned to look at the police officers.

"Please have two people help the suspect to the detention center for our investigation." The inspector's face was icy.

The two police officers looked at Zhao Nandi with a troubled expression.

Zhao Nandi straightened his neck and said, "With me here, no one can take my student away."

"What's going on, Xiao Zhao?"

Several elderly people appeared at the door and slowly walked in.

The police officers and inspectors turned around and saw a group of elderly people, both men and women.

He was simply dressed and had a scholarly air about him.

The police officers and inspectors breathed a sigh of relief. They were unfamiliar with the people; neither were martial arts experts nor high-ranking members of the martial arts academy.

Zhao Nandi's eyes immediately reddened, and he said, "Dean, they not only framed Zhou Leng, but they also didn't follow the normal judicial process and took the seriously injured Zhou Leng to the detention center. It's obvious they're going to take drastic measures."

"what?"

The president, vice president, and several academicians of the Shenwen Academy were stunned for a long time, somewhat unable to understand.

In the Dragon Kingdom, is someone arresting a mysterious master?
What's the difference between this and directly arresting academicians?
What is Master Zhou's status? He's been discussed at the highest court and the highest meeting; he's the future hope of the entire Divine Script world.

Before they arrived, they confirmed with the Demon City Army that Zhou Leng was indeed the mysterious master, because he had received divine script inheritance in another world.

They were still discussing what kind of treatment to give Zhou Leng, how to get others to participate in the divine script inheritance, and why he was about to be arrested so soon after they arrived.

"Don't worry, what happened? We heard on the way that someone framed Master Zhou. We thought it was a misunderstanding, how did it escalate to this point?"

Upon hearing this, the police officers and inspectors realized that the other party's status was beyond their expectations, and had no choice but to explain the details of the robbery.

The young constable deliberately brought up the matter of Chen Shouhu and Wang Boxiong, and even said that the military governor's troops had arrived.

Zhao Nandi never expected that in order to capture Zhou Leng, they would actually send out military supervisors. If something went wrong, it would be a huge political incident.

The experts on divine script also realized the seriousness of the matter and hesitated.

Seeing that they were starting to hesitate, Zhao Nandi gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, dialed a number, and spoke while crying.

“Teacher…please save your grand-disciple Zhou Leng! He’s clearly a mysterious master, risking his life for the divine script, yet he’s been framed by a despicable villain. He’s now seriously injured and hospitalized, half his body is gone, but he’s been forcibly detained by the police inspectors. He’ll definitely be beaten and tortured. They’re lawless and insane…Yes, yes, we must report this to the Supreme Court. I’ll also report it to my uncles and aunts…”

The inspectors and police officers were dumbfounded. How could such a beautiful woman make such a blatant accusation? And how could she start by mentioning the Supreme Court? Who was she trying to scare?
More and more experts in divine script were coming in from outside the corridor.

The higher-ups at the Divine Literature Institute were highly perceptive and had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

Most of the academicians are shrewd and have not yet come forward.

However, several senior experts who were familiar with Zhao Nandi and his teacher were furious when they heard this.

"What? You dare arrest Master Zhou?"

"Do you know that he's worth a million demons?"

"Do you know that the Supreme Court held at least three special meetings because of him?"

"Do you know that theologians around the world, and even the Humanoid Alliance, have held hundreds of seminars for him?"

These experts, who have dedicated their lives to studying divine texts, disregarded anything sensitive or insensitive, and rushed to the bedside, blocking inspectors and police.

The Dean of the Divine Script Academy coughed lightly and said, "I discussed Zhou Leng's matter with Chief Judge Zhang a few months ago. I will report this matter to Chief Judge Zhang immediately."

The police and inspectors had already guessed that Zhou Leng was no ordinary person, and when they heard him mention Wufu No. 1, their hair stood on end.

The two police officers looked at each other, their faces filled with despair.

This isn't a battle of gods, it's a clash of supreme immortals.

The inspector was dumbfounded; no matter how stupid he was, he couldn't continue to be so forceful.

"Let's consult with our superiors." The inspectors quickly walked out of the ward.
