Chapter 690: Chapter 152: Ascend the Tower to See Me, My Own Path to the Dao

“What kind of problem can’t even the Great Marshal and the State Preceptor solve, that they have to specifically seek out Lin Tianyi?”

Xu Jing’s eyes continuously changed.

Lu Wenzheng: “It can only be confirmed that it is related to Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts.”

“Then it must be a cultivation issue, they’ve hit a bottleneck or are faced with an insurmountable obstacle.”

Xu Jing stated his judgment.

Lu Wenzheng’s face revealed a smile: “If that’s truly the case, then the heavens are aiding us!”

Various rumors about Li Fei began to circulate outside.

The most widespread version claimed that although Marquis Jing’an, Li Fei, had slain that Martial Arts Master with Dual Divine Abilities, he himself was severely injured and left with an incurable ailment.

Regarding such rumors, the common people and those in the World were half-believing, half-doubting, as not long ago “Under Heaven” had publicly acknowledged Li Fei as the Ancient and Modern First Dao Foundation Period.

How could it be that, after such a short time, people were suddenly saying Li Fei was no longer capable?

However, many upper-class people in Lanling City were more inclined to believe Li Fei truly encountered a problem, because they each had their own sources of information and knew many secrets unknown to the public.

Inner City, Monitoring Pavilion Headquarters.

“Master, do you think that Marquis Jing’an really encountered some kind of problem?”

Yuan Mengfei asked He Jian.

The old man continued to meticulously organize various documents without answering his female disciple’s question.

After a moment, after he finished organizing the documents in his hands, he looked up at Yuan Mengfei:

“Do your job well. Even if he truly encountered a problem, can you possibly help him?”

Yuan Mengfei bit her lip, feeling a bit angry but knowing that the old man was right.

She was just an ordinary agent at the Monitoring Pavilion, a Level 10 official. If Li Fei truly encountered a problem, what could she do?

He Jian glanced at his discouraged female disciple, hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

“Focus on solving the Heavenly Altar assassination case, interrogating Ye Zhao, and uncovering the New Heaven Association. That’s the best help for him, as he also needs to uncover the secrets behind this and find out who’s targeting him.”

Yuan Mengfei looked at the old man and nodded firmly:

“I understand, Master!”

Just as the two were about to continue working, a man suddenly rushed into the room:

“Master, something bad happened!”

The newcomer was also a member of He Jian’s group, one of his disciples.

He Jian suddenly looked up.

He Jian’s eyes instantly changed, resembling a pair of eagle eyes, staring intently at the person.

“Just a few minutes ago, Ye Zhao suddenly died in the Righteous Law Pavilion’s prison!”

“How could this be? Wasn’t there always an expert from Zhi Ge Pavilion guarding?”

Yuan Mengfei was incredulous.

After Ye Zhao was escorted back to Lanling City, he was handed over to the Righteous Law Pavilion by Zhi Ge Pavilion, because the Righteous Law Pavilion needed to step in to dissolve the Oath Technique on Ye Zhao.

This process wasn’t something that could be done in one fell swoop.

For the past few days, Ye Zhao had been locked in the Righteous Law Pavilion’s prison, with a True Master from the Righteous Law Pavilion casting magic on him daily.

In addition to the Righteous Law Pavilion’s own guards, Zhi Ge Pavilion also sent additional people to guard Ye Zhao 24 hours in rotation.

Under such circumstances, Ye Zhao suddenly died.
