“You’re slandering him!”
Gu Chixing was completely thrown into confusion. Before Yin Qingleng could respond, he quickly refuted.
“Slander?”
Jiang Xu sneered and kicked the assassin on the ground. “He is the leader of the assassins. Now that he has been captured alive, how are you going to refute?”
“Are you saying that I randomly found someone to frame Yin Qingleng?”
Jiang Xu smiled sarcastically. “As long as we want to investigate, we can easily confirm his identity. He has already told the truth, so there is no point in denying it.”
Gu Chixing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He knew that what Jiang Xu said was the truth.
As long as they verified the identity of the assassin, they could easily verify the authenticity of the claim.
Until now, Gu Chixing still couldn’t understand why the assassination failed and how the assassins were captured alive.
Gu Chixing looked at Yin Qingleng.
Yin Qingleng’s face was pale, and his brain was spinning furiously.
He had already noticed that all the instructors, whether they supported him or not, looked at him with strong hostility.
Using outsiders to hurt their own people was a matter of principle. It was unacceptable.
“Gu Chixing!”
Suddenly, Yin Qingleng shouted at Gu Chixing.
“How dare you use my name to secretly collude with the Wind Sea Institute!”
Yin Qingleng was distorting the facts and placing all the blame on Gu Chixing.
Gu Chixing was mind blown and felt his entire body go numb.
He didn’t expect that in order to get rid of his suspicions, Yin Qingleng betrayed him without hesitation.
“Everyone!”
Yin Qingleng ignored Gu Chixing and looked at the other instructors.
“As the head of the Ice Feather Institute, I would never do such a thing.”
Yin Qingleng said, “Prior to this, I noticed that Gu Chixing had a close relationship with the Wind Sea Institute. I even warned him about this. But he told me that it was just a normal interaction, so I didn’t take it to heart.”
“Now it seems that I did not teach my subordinates well, so I should take on some of the blame.”
When Yin Qingleng said this, his tone was firm. It was as he was telling the truth.
“Institute Head, you, how could you…”
Gu Chixing pointed at Yin Qingleng, his whole body trembling.
“Gu Chixing, you violated the rules of the Ice Feather Institute, so you are sentenced to death!”
Under everyone’s shocked eyes, Yin Qingleng activated a wind blade and cut off Gu Chixing’s head.
Gu Chixing fell and died on the spot.
After killing Gu Chixing, Yin Qingleng’s expression was calm.
“Yin Qingleng, you are ruthless!”
Jiang Xu didn’t expect Yin Qingleng to do this.
“We should be more decisive when dealing with traitors.”
After Yin Qingleng killed Gu Chixing, he was more confident.
Gu Chixing was the only one who showed himself when he colluded with the Wind Sea Institute. Thus, he pushed the blame to him first, then he would slowly find a way to get rid of the suspicions.
“Acting Institute Head, you’re quite good at taking a step back to clear yourself of your crimes!”
Another figure walked in from outside the assembly hall.
Xu Ning slowly walked in front of everyone with a small stack of letters in his hand.
“Do you really think that by killing Gu Chixing, you can get rid of all your suspicions?”
Xu Ning waved the letters in his hand. “The evidence of your collusion with the Wind Sea Institute has not been destroyed yet, right?”
‘That is…’
Yin Qingleng was shocked.
He recognized that the letters in Xu Ning’s hand were evidences of his collusion with the Wind Sea Institute.
These letters even included his plan to assassinate the Old Institute Head.
“Yin Qingleng!”
Xu Ning took a step forward. “In order to become the head of the Ice Feather Institute, not only did you collude with the Wind Sea Institute to assassinate the Old Institute Head, but you also betrayed the interest of the Ice Feather Institute and attempted to assassinate the instructors! Tell me, are you a sinner of the Ice Feather Institute!”
Assassinated the Old Institute Head!?
Everyone looked at Yin Qingleng in horror.
This news was too shocking for them.
“The letters in my hand are evidence of your collusion with them!”
Xu Ning showed the letters in his hand to everyone present.
Yin Qingleng felt like he had fallen into an icehouse.
“Nonsense!”
After a while, Yin Qingleng woke up from his daze.
His eyes were full of murderous intent as he looked at Xu Ning.
“You forged those letters to frame me, you deserve to be executed as well!”
Yin Qingleng ignored the other instructors and attacked Xu Ning.
He knew very well that he had to kill Xu Ning and take the letters from him.
Otherwise, if the evidence were taken seriously, he would really have no chance to turn the tables.
Several large wind blades appeared out of thin air and slashed towards Xu Ning.
Seeing this, Xu Ning smirked.
“Storm Barrier!”
A wind wall condensed around him.
Several wind blades bounced back from the wind wall.
Pfft Pfft!
Yin Qingleng couldn’t dodge in time and was slashed by two wind blades.
‘Rank five arcanist?!’
Yin Qingleng also realized Xu Ning’s true strength.
He finally understood why the assassination attempt of the Wind Sea Institute failed.
Rank five arcanist!
The other instructors had also just discovered Xu Ning’s true strength.
‘Run!’
Yin Qingleng realized that he was at the end of his rope.
After today, he would no longer have a foothold in the southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
He was about to lose everything he had, so he just wanted to stay alive.
“Trying to escape?”
Yin Qingleng was about to escape from the assembly hall, but Xu Ning activated several Gravitational Spirals and seriously injured Yin Qingleng again.
Even though they were both rank five arcanists, Xu Ning was at the peak of rank five, while Yin Qingleng was only in the middle of rank five.
Moreover, Xu Ning’s arcane techniques were more advanced. Yin Qingleng was not his opponent at all.
Bang!
Yin Qingleng was injured and fell to the ground. Xu Ning stepped on him and captured him alive.
At this moment, Yin Qingleng was deeply injured twice, and he fainted from his fury.
“Everyone, these are the letters, please read them one by one.”
After subduing Yin Qingleng, Xu Ning distributed the evidence in his hand to the instructors present.
Everyone exchanged the letters. After browsing through it, their faces were all pale.
Some of them even wanted to kill Yin Qingleng themselves.
The Old Institute Head held a lot of prestige in the hearts of these instructors. Everyone respected him.
But that Old Institute Head was killed by Yin Qingleng’s scheme.
Among these instructors, there were a few who supported Yin Qingleng. But now that they knew the truth, they were all ashamed and full of hatred.
“Everyone, don’t blame yourself.”
Jiang Xu quickly comforted. “You were all fooled by Yin Qingleng. His mistakes have nothing to do with you.”
Jiang Xu knew that after the chaos, he had to stabilize the people’s hearts.
“Now that Yin Qingleng has become a sinner of the Ice Feather Institute, it is time for Young Institute Head to inherit the position of the institute head!”
Xu Siqi took the opportunity to speak..
