Lei Qianshan saw Jian Chenxin didnât seem to be joking, and inwardly believed seventy to eighty percent of it, deciding to follow Jian Chenxin for a look.
To see who this mysterious master of the All-Knowing Tower is.
To know all the affairs under heaven?
Omniscient?
The All-Knowing Tower seems to brag quite a lot, much like a naive kid fresh out into the world.
"Where is he now?"
"Right in Jianshui City!"
When Jian Chenxin uttered these words, Lei Qianshan hesitated for a moment, holding a cold smile with a hint of murderous intent on his lips for a long while.
He was not like Jian Chenxin who enjoyed killing, but with the All-Knowing Tower master daring to appear in Jianshui City, how can there be no reason to kill? He disliked others interfering in his territory, just as he never allowed strangers near his woman.
"Follow me!"
Jian Chenxin immediately transformed into a dazzling figure, darting into Jianshui City.
While Lei Qianshan hurried to follow.
After landing in a deserted alley, the two switched to walking, seeming aimless along the streets, yet with a very clear destination. They finally arrived at a place in Jianshui Cityâthe Water Academy.
Dragon Gateâs vassal!
Five-star InfluenceâWater Academy!
Lei Qianshan furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you sure itâs here?"
"Wouldnât have thought, right? Actually, I didnât think so either, why would the Dragon Gate vassal become the master of the All-Knowing Tower? The reason behind this can probably only be known by capturing the Water Academyâs dean." Jian Chenxin stepped inside, strolling leisurely.
Beside the path, occasionally academy students passed by, diverse in appearance and with varied power, yet none paid attention to Jian Chenxin and Lei Qianshan.
In no time at all, the two found themselves standing under the Water Building.
The Water Academy dean was right upstairs!
...
Water Building.
In a room on the top floor, the Water Academyâs dean sat in a chair, holding an Immortal Daily and looking at it with satisfaction. That gaze was like looking at oneâs own child, filled with affection and love.
In fact, he had already looked at the Immortal Daily no fewer than a hundred times over the past few days, repeatedly reading the same article hundreds of times.
Yet it wasnât enough!
Whenever he found himself idle, he wanted to flip through the Immortal Daily.
Smoothing his white beard, the Water Academy dean chuckled while viewing the Immortal Daily. Beside him stood a young woman, with delicate brows and sparkling almond eyes, skin as fair as jade, bearing a faint smile, appearing exceptionally charming.
This person was the Water Academy deanâs only daughterâYi.
"Youâve already read it no less than a hundred times; why do you keep reading it over and over?" Yi had grown increasingly perplexed with understanding her father over these days.
"Because itâs something that can change the world, even though itâs merely a thin sheet of paper, it carries your fatherâs dreams. I seem to already see a future where people can know all affairs under heaven without leaving their homes."
The Water Academyâs dean was extremely excited at this moment, his heart filled with anticipation for the future, his old and decayed heart radiating with youthful passion.
He had been young once too, pursuing everything his heart desired, power, women, and authority. However, as his youth passed, he buried those desires deep within, so deeply buried that without someone reminding him, he almost forgot those fervent and brilliant dreams of the past.
Now a light of hope has awakened his dreams; in his remaining years, he wants more and more people to read the Immortal Daily.
Bam!
The office door was suddenly kicked open.
Lei Qianshan strode in, clapping as he walked, "Yi Jian, you old undying, you truly surprise me. Last time I saw you, you removed a great threat for my Dragon Gate, your loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. Now after a few years apart only, why have you changed so much?"
"Sect Leader!"
The old dean was startled, the Immortal Daily slipping from his hands.
How could it be?
He considered that he had concealed things well enough.
The workshop printing the Immortal Daily was hidden beneath the Water Academy, a place known only to him and his daughter alone, with no third party aware of its existence.
"Brother Lei, was I wrong? This old guy is the master of the All-Knowing Tower." Next, Jian Chenxin walked in with a smirk of ill intent.
As Jian Chenxin stepped in, Yi Jian directly opened his Meridian Gate, a disc-shaped Sword Qi slashed forth. Then, pulling his daughter back, he hurled her out the window, "Yi, run fast!"
Yi screamed, "Father, letâs leave together!"
Yi Jian watched as his Sword Qi was casually dismantled by Lei Qianshan, sighing helplessly, "Donât look back, keep running forward, leave Jianshui City! Do not return until reaching Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm!"
Yiâs eyes welled with tears, gazing at her fatherâs heroic back, she burst into sorrowful tears, but her steps did not cease.
Looking down, she tightened her grip on the stone her father secretly handed her!
Lei Qianshan paid no heed to Yiâs escape, focusing only on Yi Jian at the end of his rope, then asked, "Was being dean of the Water Academy not enough? Why did you betray me and create something called the All-Knowing Tower."
"All-Knowing Tower... All-Knowing Tower... Seems someone betrayed me." Yi Jian laughed bitterly, but felt no regret.
The Immortal Daily was published.
He was very happy!
Though he might lack the chance to witness the Immortal Dailyâs glory and the advent of the new world, he was still happy.
Bamâ
Lei Qianshan opened his Meridian Gate.
With a pulse through the Meridian Gate, the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm momentum immediately pressed in, then Lei Qianshan shot forth, his fists striking Yi Jianâs chest, blasting him hundreds of yards away, slamming him through the academy gate.
The frightened academy students jumped up at this, each rushed to help.
"Dean!"
"Dean, are you alright?"
Just as they approached, Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin appeared before them, the bright four Meridian Gates frightening them into fleeing.
Yi Jian laughed bitterly, looking at Lei Qianshan, "Lei Qianshan, Jian Chenxin, since I cannot escape death today, I might as well tell you a secret before I die!"
"Speak!"
Lei Qianshanâs response was icy cold.
Yi Jian stroked his beard stained with blood from his mouth, revealing a profound smile, "I am but an insignificant presence in the All-Knowing Tower, do you both know what truly lies behind the All-Knowing Tower?"
Jian Chenxin paused.
Not the master of the All-Knowing Tower?
Jian Chenxinâs anger flared, "Do not play tricks, people in Water City have already confessed, is there any point to faking innocence?"
Yi Jian laughed, "They havenât seen the true All-Knowing Tower, they have only seen me, the people above, they arenât qualified to meet!"
Having said that, Yi Jian burst into laughter.
He saw Jian Chenxinâs face filled with anger.
He saw Lei Qianshanâs silence.
To be killed today, wasnât a waste!
