Chapter 27: Mysterious Death, Mu Ningxue's Crush! [Follow Up]

Lu Zhenghe’s death quickly attracted the attention of the Imperial Capital Team in the medical room.

Zhao Mingyue's face was pale. She looked at the bones on the ground in horror. She was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Although she was a mid-level magician, she had rarely seen monsters, let alone fight in battle. And most of the time, she had seen sky eagles and other people's summoned beasts.

How could she not be afraid when Lu Zhenghe died tragically in front of her?
"What on earth is going on? It was fine just now, why is it like this now?" Lu Yiming was breathing rapidly. He tried to endure the stench of rotting meat in the room, his face extremely pale.

"Lu Zhenghe, could this be Lu Zhenghe?!" Xu Dalong swallowed and took two steps back, but then he seemed to remember something and reached out to pull Zhao Mingyue to his side.

"This must have been done by those people from Mingzhu. Only they had the chance to do such a cruel thing!" Liao Mingxuan was also frightened by the scene before him, and then put all the blame on Mingzhu Academy.

"Now that things have happened, no matter if they did it or not, the most urgent task is to find out the cause of Lu Zhenghe's death." Lu Yiming pretended to be calm. After all, he was the leader of the Imperial Capital Academy. Anyone could panic at this time, but he couldn't.

"Liao Mingxuan, you and Qingqing go report this matter to the local Magic Association, and the rest of you will play the next game with me." Lu Yiming was very clear about his responsibilities. If he questioned Mingzhu Academy now, it would not only alert the criminal but also make the real murderer vigilant.

Although Lu Yiming believed from the bottom of his heart that Mingzhu was not as good as the Imperial Capital Academy, he was unlikely to think that this incident was caused by Mingzhu Academy.

Such an upright institution of higher learning has so many forces behind it, the water here is very muddy.

"Unless there is solid evidence, you must not spread rumors or cause trouble, otherwise our situation will be very dangerous." Lu Yiming said to everyone with a serious face.

Several people in the room nodded, but Mu Ningxue was not among them.

"Okay, let's go to the game now and don't think too much." Lu Yiming spoke only after seeing that everyone's expressions had eased a little.

So, under Lu Yiming's organization, several people walked out of the room and began to prepare for the next game.

----

At the Mingzhu duel venue, Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao and the others had already prepared and were waiting for the second match to begin.

"Come on, everyone. If we win another game, this victory will belong to Mingzhu." Song Xia glanced at everyone and cheered them on.

"I don't think the Imperial Capital Academy is that strong. They are just a bunch of clowns." Luo Song is fat, but he doesn't think so.

"Be careful, I can feel that woman is very strong." Mu Nujiao reminded, then looked towards a corner.

Chen Cheng got a cup of century-old tea from somewhere, and he was just sipping the tea and enjoying the view, as if the game was not important to him.

"Is the mentor really not going to come and give some instructions?" Bai Tingting also followed Mu Nujiao's gaze and saw Chen Cheng in casual clothes, looking calm and composed, as if nothing in this world could attract his attention.

"No matter what, just do your best. It doesn't matter even if you lose." Song Xia glanced in the direction of Chen Cheng. Although her face was unhappy, she didn't say anything. After all, her status was there.

The people from Mingzhu Academy stepped onto the competition venue, and almost at the same time, an extremely strong anger emanated from the members of the Imperial Capital.

“Hey, who are you showing off to? Didn’t I feel satisfied with your beating?” Mo Fan was as venomous as ever.

"Hmph, you Mingzhu have done something shameful, and you still dare to talk like that?!" Zhao Mingyue looked at them angrily, unable to suppress her anger. "We did something shameful? What are you talking about in your sleep? Isn't this your tactic? Using morality to suppress us?" Zhao Manyan smiled and walked forward, retorting.

"Hmph, this time you are looking for death, so don't blame us for being merciless!" Xu Dalong stepped aside, and a snow-white woman just stood there, with a gleam in her eyes and eyebrows. Her exquisite face made everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Mu Ningxue?" The first one to be shocked was Mo Fan. Although he knew that he would run into her, he was still a little excited to actually meet her at this moment.

After all, the two had a good relationship when they were young, but that was all.

Mu Ningxue is now completely different from the past. Whether in terms of status or cultivation, she is far ahead of Mo Fan, even though Mo Fan has the Azure Dragon Pendant.

“Just show me what you’ve got. I won’t show any mercy.” Mu Ningxue looked at Mo Fan, her expression unmoved.

Now, except for a few extremely important people, she doesn't care about anything else.

Mo Fan? Childhood sweetheart? Just a passing stranger in this world, a drop in the ocean.

"Mo Fan, why are you still hesitating? Can't you see that this woman has a cold personality? Hurry up and do it!" Luo Song snorted coldly. Even though the two of them were enemies before, the oppressive feeling from Mu Ningxue forced them to unite now.

"Ice Mark, Painting of Mountains and Seas" Mu Ningxue had already started chanting ice magic. Her ice domain occupied the entire duel field, instantly freezing the light shield cast by Zhao Manyan. At this time, even if Mo Fan used fire magic, he would find it difficult to resist.

“What is this? Why is the magic she casts a little different from mine?” Mo Fan was shocked. The Rose Flame surged again, but was soon covered by ice and snow again.

With the help of Chen Cheng's skills, Mu Ningxue's strength has unknowingly far surpassed that of her peers. Not only that, she can even perform magical transformations that only high-level mages can master.

She has broken free from the limitations of traditional levels and has begun to develop her own unique fighting style.

"Is this the extent of your strength?" Mu Ningxue said calmly. Her slender jade fingers gently played the magic melody. Countless ice elemental elves danced in the wind, like snow falling in the summer.

This terrifying strength has already exceeded the scope of a mid-level magician, so much so that Mo Fan and others are completely unable to withstand it.

"Damn it, her strength is so terrifying that our magic is completely ineffective in front of her?!" Mu Nujiao was still unwilling to accept it. She could admit her failure, but she couldn't accept being wiped out so easily.

"You are already very good to have been able to hold out for this long under my command." Mu Ningxue said softly. In fact, some of the instructors at the Imperial Capital Academy are no longer her match.

Basically, she has been fighting against high-level wizards recently, and she has a tendency to gain the upper hand.

"In the second match, the Imperial Capital Academy won."

“See, I told you that woman was no ordinary woman. I didn’t expect her to be so powerful. I even doubted whether she was a mid-level mage.” Mo Fan sighed. When he met her again, he was still no match for her.

"She is indeed powerful. With just an ice element, she has suppressed us to the point where we cannot resist. I cannot imagine how powerful she is!" Zhao Manyan also sighed.

The two hit it off immediately and felt sympathy for each other.
