Chapter 754: Chapter 752: The Curse of Shattering (Part Eleven) (Extra for Alliance Leader “Classmate Lao Ming” 2/2)_1 Chapter 754: Chapter 752: The Curse of Shattering (Part Eleven) (Extra for Alliance Leader “Classmate Lao Ming” 2/2)_1 “You mean to say…this might not have been the work of an enemy?”

In just a few minutes, Ni Huayuan had assumed control of the situation.

At his suggestion, Kamakura Si was startled and grasped his meaning.

“Are these actions aimed at the object we are guarding?”

“It’s just a speculation, in need of confirmation,”

Ni Huayuan shook his head, his words still quite cautious.

“Considering someone from your family has already died there, did he mention his purpose before he went in?”

“My grandfather didn’t say much.”

Kamakura Guizhi, known for his strong will, was still struggling to stay coherent and even managed to join the conversation.

“After the situation became increasingly severe, he only mentioned he was going down to look for a solution, then he never returned. Are you suggesting that my grandfather was likely ambushed by someone?”

While speaking, Kamakura Guizhi couldn’t help but glance at Fu Qian.

“It’s hard to say, of course it seems to have little to do with Mr. Yun. With his abilities, searching for something wouldn’t require such trouble.”

…

Feeling slighted again, Kamakura Si was momentarily rendered speechless on the side.

“Although this involves the family’s secrets, the situation is urgent…”

After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to be frank.

“The truth is, although we claim to be Tomb Guardians, the ruins have been thoroughly destroyed, and over the years, we really haven’t found anything special.”

“I can’t think of what they could possibly find inside there.”

“I believe you,”

Ni Huayuan’s smile was enigmatic.

“If they had found it, that person might not have died.”

“So now, I assume you also don’t wish to die?”

…

Driven by the instinct to survive, Ni Huayuan’s words were undeniably persuasive.

Quickly, the Tomb Guardian family unanimously decided to let the Academy lead the expedition to enter the ancient ruins again, to search for suspicious traces.

Noticing that the Academy’s team members outwardly remained calm while actually growing in morale, Fu Qian reconfirmed that it wasn’t Cass and Jian Jingzheng promoting their usual bold style, taking risks alone; they had respected the Kamakura Family’s responsibilities by only sending down two representatives.

In fact, nearly everyone was eager to have a look inside.

It was understandable; the prospect of exploring ancient ruins that had stood for a thousand years was possibly more intriguing to those from the Academy than healing and saving lives.

And Ni Huayuan, who had secured this opportunity for everyone, naturally became the core of the operation.

He, too, did not seem averse to this role and, after a brief exchange with Kamakura Si, decided they would each prepare briefly and then set off immediately.

…

In fact, Fu Qian was also pleased with this development.

His mission was clear: to find the cause of the divine seal’s malfunction.

The plans of Cass and the others to block invisible connections might indeed be useful, though they were typical temporary fixes and not of great significance for him to complete his mission.

If they persisted, he might have to act alone.

Now, however, he could continue to join the exploration team.

Although from Fu Qian’s perspective, Ni Huayuan’s deductions just now weren’t particularly stringent.

Of course, he wasn’t talking nonsense; after Kamakura Guizhi complied, he was clearly subjected to some technique, dragged into a peculiar state that isolated him from the outside world.

Ultimately, this did not prevent Kamakura Guizhi’s body from breaking down.

At first glance, this indeed seemed like a counterexample against the strategies of Cass and his group, reasonable and logical.

But there’s a problem with that—nonetheless you are not even a demigod with all the mysterious methods you have.

Under these circumstances, who gave you the confidence that such a state could isolate everything?

Merely because Professor Ah Kai’s methods could suppress the change for a short duration, and he’s even ranked lower than you?

Some things are not so simply analogous.

In Fu Qian’s view, although Ah Kai’s rank might not be high, the move he had just performed was quite meaningful and its effect could possibly far exceed the Middle Tier.

In short, Ni Huayuan was probably a bit too hasty, perhaps provoked by Cass’s continual stimuli, eager to prove the strength of the Divine Ashes Institute?

However, in response to his actions, Cass did not show too much skepticism.

Fu Qian understood this as Cass himself was actually interested in looking around more, but considering his humanitarian stance, as a leader, he couldn’t propose such a cold-hearted solution.

Ni Huayuan was willing to jump out, and he was just going with the flow.

…

“Mr. Yun.”

Interest is indeed the best motivation, and in just half an hour, the members of the Academy had finished preparations and gathered at the same gate they had exited from in the morning.

Even Brother Ah Kai, who was still sleepy-eyed, held a metal dish and muttered incantations, even taking the initiative to greet Fu Qian who had just arrived.

“As a Demigod, how do you understand this kind of Deity?”

The next moment, he pointed to the gate in front of him and earnestly sought advice.

This indeed was an interesting question.

Fu Qian thought about it seriously for a few seconds, then finally shook his head.

“Not interested in taking their place.”

This statement was loud enough that people around them all glanced over, especially those from the Swordsmanship Department.

You really dare to say it!

These things, however outrageous, are of the legendary Divine-Level.

And you just became a Demigod and you’re ready to take their place?

“Why?”

This answer was obviously beyond Ah Kai’s expectations, and after snapping out of it, he asked with great interest.

Because I’m not interested in being constantly talked about by a bunch of people.

Fu Qian thought to himself, but considering his current persona, he changed his wording.

“The Sword Dao seeks only self-improvement, disregarding others.”

The next moment he snorted coldly, looking arrogantly.

“I don’t need their worship, nor can I help them.”

“Truly worthy of someone who has pursued the path of cultivation and attained the status of a Demigod!”

Professor Ah Kai couldn’t help but shake his head and let out a sincere exclamation of admiration.

“In fact, I’ve always admired Sword Dao Cultivation, but sadly I lack the talent in this aspect.”

“Professor Ah Kai is too modest.”

The sincerity in his voice was audible, and the Swordsmanship Department instructors listening in with perked ears undoubtedly appreciated it very much.

Jian Jingzheng was the first to modestly downplay it.

“Who doesn’t know that at such a young age, you’ve already become an instructor at the Benevolence Institute, renowned as a genius that appears once every several decades.”

“The way you saved people earlier was also breathtaking.”

“That’s all overpraise from others, I dare not accept such compliments.”

After a round of professional flattery, it was clear that both sides enjoyed it, a harmoniously pleasant scene.

“Everyone is here, so let’s get started.”

At this moment, Ni Huayuan’s voice came through, as the lead of the tomb exploration plan, he naturally took on the role of action commander.

“Mr. Yun.”

And as the team began to move, Ji Liushuang naturally lagged a few steps behind, quietly standing in line with Fu Qian.

“Thank you again for sharing your insights, which have benefited me greatly.”

The next moment she turned to look at Fu Qian, and sincerely expressed her gratitude.
