Chapter 424: Chapter 115: Returning Thought Projection (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

“Gu! Yufeng!!!”

“I’m here—”

The voice, as resounding as a great bell or large drum, echoed throughout the sports venue.

A commotion arose among the spectators; aside from those like Bian Jingru who were in the know, virtually everybody was clueless—who at this time would dare to intervene in the battle between Gu Yufeng and Qin Zhen?

Across the whole Feng Province, who below the rank of Martial Arts Master had such a qualification?

A name appeared in many people’s minds.

“Could it be…”

Creak—

The doors of the sports venue, which had been shut, slowly swung open.

Moments later, a figure clad in a black martial robe and wearing a green Evil Ghost Mask, holding an unsheathed long sword, walked into the venue.

Seeing that the people from Wuda not only did not stop the Green-faced Ghost but actually opened the door for him, Bian Jingru’s expression turned even uglier.

He turned his head toward Fang Guan, “Vice Principal Fang, today’s exchange is between Wuda and Hongyi University; it’s not necessary for unrelated people to participate, right? It would make Datong Prefecture appear very disorderly!”

His direct address to Fang Guan showed the irritation in his heart.

Fang Guan looked at him somewhat helplessly, “Garrison Commander, I apologize, but Principal Shi specifically instructed that today, anyone from Hongyi University who wishes to accept can join in this exchange.”

“This is Principal Shi’s directive?”

Bian Jingru glanced at the Green-faced Ghost below and slightly furrowed his brow, suppressing his anger.

He, as a Garrison Commander, did have influence over Wuda, but he did not want to publicly clash with Principal Shi Caiming, as it would only make a spectacle for outsiders.

Moreover, Shi Caiming was not of a reckless disposition, and since he dared to let the Green-faced Ghost appear, he must have a certain assurance.

The newcomer was naturally Li Fei.

He walked to the center of the arena, looking up at the figure in white on the stands:

“Gu Yufeng, you wish to do battle with me, and I have come. Let’s fight!”

Gu Yufeng and Li Fei locked eyes.

He wasn’t one for many words, nor did he ask why Li Fei didn’t come out to face him two nights ago, choosing instead to appear today.

Since Li Fei had arrived, the battle was to be embraced.

First to slay the Green-faced Ghost as a warm-up, then to battle Qin Zhen—such was just right for him.

“Good.”

Gu Yufeng agreed and was about to leap down from the stands.

“Hold on!”

Nolan Zhi suddenly spoke up to prevent him.

Then, he stood up and turned toward Bian Jingru:

“Garrison Commander Bian, are you aware of the Blood-faced Ghost?”

Bian Jingru remained expressionless: “Of course, he’s Datong Prefecture’s number one wanted criminal.”

“Good, I suspect this person claiming to be the Green-faced Ghost is actually the Blood-faced Ghost!”

Nolan Zhi pointed sternly at Li Fei below.

Boom—

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire venue erupted into an uproar.

Regarding the Blood-faced Ghost and Green-faced Ghost, those in the know generally guessed the two might be the same person.

But the vast majority were actually clueless about the situation.

“Silence—”

Fang Guan said.

His voice, propelled by force, overpowered the entire venue, gradually quieting down the crowd.

All eyes turned toward Bian Jingru.

With a smile, Bian Jingru spoke: “Sect Master Nolan, do you have evidence? Isn’t it purely because their nicknames are similar?”

Nolan Zhi’s expression grew stern:

“Not long ago, the Blood-faced Ghost killed over a dozen officials from Feng Province, scores of guards, as well as future professors and lecturers from Hongyi University! Many survivors at the scene witnessed the Blood-faced Ghost take action!”

As his words ended, a man stood up from the seating area of Hongyi University.

“He is Yan Yu, a former special lecturer at Wu’an University and currently a special lecturer at Hongyi University. He was at the scene when the express train to the provincial capital was attacked.”

Nolan Zhi pointed at the standing man and loudly introduced him.

This left the students and lecturers from Wuda looking rather awkward.

A special lecturer leaving Wuda for Hongyi University wasn’t exactly a proud matter for Wuda.

“Surely Sect Master Nolan isn’t expecting this person to identify the one below as the Blood-faced Ghost?”

Bian Jingru inquired.

“Of course not.”

Nolan Zhi was composed.

He turned his attention to another person.

This time, an old man stood up from his seat.

“This is Great Mage Yao Yuansheng, a Tributor from the Righteous Law Department of Feng Province. Master Yao has mastered a magic that can extract a fragment of a person’s memory and use a Magic Artifact to project it as an image.”

Nolan Zhi continued his loud introduction.

Bian Jingru watched the standing Yao Yuansheng expressionlessly, not surprised by this.

With the means of Lu Wenzheng, to have no preparations would truly be an underestimation of the opposition.

“Garrison Commander Bian, and everyone present, I would like you to watch a segment of the projection first.”

Nolan Zhi spoke.

After speaking, he did not seek further opinions and directly nodded to Yao Yuansheng.

The Tributor from the Righteous Law Department was a Great Mage in the Possession Stage and controlled more than one Magic Artifact.

Yao Yuansheng took out a small copper mirror from his bosom and gently tossed it into the air.

The next second, the copper mirror flew up into the sky and hovered above the sports venue.

This scene left many in the audience showing expressions of astonishment, and the reporters on the scene quickly began capturing it with their cameras.

Before the Possession Stage, the tangible effects of Magic were nearly illusionary, only affecting the spiritual plane.

But when reaching the Possession Stage and producing a Magic Artifact, it started to become mysterious.

Yao Yuansheng pointed at the copper mirror in the air, which immediately turned towards him. A dark red glow reflected from the mirror’s surface, shining directly on Yan Yu.

After a few seconds, the red light retracted back into the mirror, and then another red light shot out from it.

This time, the red light projected into the space, revealing a segment of an image:
