Chapter 67

He was discovered!

Wei Ying felt a deep sense of injustice at this moment, with no place to vent his grievances.

Among the twelve guards of the City Lord's residence, he did not claim to be the best in direct combat, but when it came to stealth, tracking, and assassination, he was second to none. No one would dare claim the top spot.

This was his specialty. From the first day he began training in the power of the soul, he was cultivated in this direction. Unlike the students of the academy, who grew freely under the careful guidance of their teachers and then chose their own specialized powers to focus on, he was trained from the beginning to be an assassin. His basic soul power, his advanced soul power, and the final ability he mastered were all perfectly suited to make him the assassin the City Lord's residence needed.

The Tianzhao Academy was not like the Xiapeng District; the students were of a very high caliber, and there were many capable mentors. Wei Ying was very cautious when infiltrating the Tianzhao Academy. After careful reconnaissance, he finally found the whereabouts of Lu Ping and his group.

He did not dare to approach them easily, as he had heard about a terrifying drunk woman during his reconnaissance. The vague descriptions from the students made it impossible for him to gauge the true strength of this mysterious figure. He had to be even more cautious, spending almost an entire night carefully exploring the forest near the library. After considering all the pros and cons, he chose a position that he believed would be foolproof for his hiding technique. He then took a brief rest, and dawn arrived.

Be cautious, be cautious, and be even more cautious.

After half a day of hard work and a night of fatigue,

it only took one glance for this woman to discover him.

A casual glance, a glance without any warning. Even before Wei Ying fully realized the meaning of this glance, the woman had already moved, approaching his hiding place with an incredibly fast speed.

Run!

There was no time to analyze, and he had no courage to face her. Wei Ying turned and fled.

His preparations were extremely thorough. Seeing the direction the woman was coming from, he instantly chose his escape route.

Wei Ying floated up from the treetops, but Wen Yan, who was looking in his direction, did not detect any movement from her, despite her being at the Soul Power Penetration stage.

Movement Technique: Falling Leaf.

This was the Soul Power Penetration ability Wei Ying had been cultivating since the first day of his training.

He was like a leaf falling from a branch, rootless, traceless, and carried by the wind into the forest.

Falling Leaf did not control strength, speed, or agility; it controlled weight—Wei Ying's own weight.

At this moment, he was not as light as a leaf, but he was close. He drifted through the forest, using the terrain to his advantage, constantly using the branches and leaves to shield himself.

However, he could not shake off the woman. A powerful pressure always followed him, a pressure that the woman had not released when she first came out of the library. Now, she made no effort to hide it. Was it because she was using her full Soul Power and could not hide it, or was she intentionally releasing it to create pressure?

For Wei Ying, whether it was the former or the latter, it was not in his favor, and it meant that it would be very difficult for him to escape this woman.

The forest in the academy was not large. Wei Ying's Falling Leaf technique was light and fast, and soon he saw the light, the edge of the forest. Once he left the forest, he would be exposed.

But Wei Ying did not panic. He continued to drift, using the elasticity of the branches to rise higher. By the time he reached the edge of the forest, he was already standing on the treetops.

He took a deep breath, jumped, and the wind came!

At this moment, Wei Ying had fully unleashed his Falling Leaf technique, and he was almost indistinguishable from a real leaf. The sunlight, wind direction, the treetop from which he jumped, and the height of his jump—all these factors were precisely calculated, and everything was perfectly executed.

At this moment, Wei Ying was like a leaf carried by the wind, drifting in the direction he had already calculated—towards the outside of the high walls of the Tianzhao Academy.

Just as he leaped over the high wall, he saw a woman emerge from the forest, the same woman who had been chasing him. She was already far away and getting farther, but then Wei Ying saw her do something. She raised her arm, brought a bottle of wine to her mouth, and took a satisfying sip.

This seemed like something one would do when a task was completed, but the woman showed no intention of stopping. After drinking, she continued to chase after Wei Ying.

Not planning to give up, and even stopping to drink? This meant absolute confidence.

Chu Min took two steps forward, then suddenly leaped, spinning rapidly in mid-air.

The wind... changed?

Wei Ying, who was traveling with the wind, had a very sensitive sense of touch. He immediately detected the slight change in the wind direction. At the same time, a faint howling of the wind could be heard from where Chu Min had spun.

Wei Ying hastily interrupted his Falling Leaf technique, and his weight immediately returned, causing him to fall. By this time, he had already drifted out of the Tianzhao Academy's walls. As he fell, he heard the wind roaring, and then he saw the woman's figure rapidly rising, quickly drifting towards him...

It was also a drift.

Wei Ying reduced his weight to drift with the wind.

Chu Min, however, created a strong wind, and then used it to lift herself into the air.

What a spectacle! What a display of power!

The raging wind roared, lifting not only Chu Min but also countless other things—dry branches, fallen leaves, pebbles, and even the soil from the ground. All of these things, along with Chu Min, were about to leap over the wall and fall towards Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was running; he did not stop. He ran continuously. On the other side of the Tianzhao Academy was the Bipolar Academy, and he did not hesitate to rush in. In his view, there was no better place to temporarily hide. The students of the Tianzhao Academy and the Bipolar Academy were mortal enemies; would they dare to chase into the Bipolar Academy so openly?

They dared!

Chu Min dared.

The strong wind carried her over the high walls of the Bipolar Academy in an instant. The students of the Bipolar Academy shouted and scolded, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the various debris carried by the wind.

Chu Min landed on the ground, ignoring the students of the Bipolar Academy, and continued to focus on Wei Ying, chasing after him.

"Who are you?" The students of the Bipolar Academy were not about to let this go, surrounding her. Did the Bipolar Academy allow outsiders to act so recklessly?

At this moment, in the Tianzhao Academy, near the library, Wen Yan was still in a daze from Chu Min's sudden departure, but he did not neglect the task Chu Min had given him and stayed to watch over the four people. At this time, a group of Tianzhao Academy students also appeared near the library, which was a rare occurrence.
