1211 The Final Mastermind
The teachers, who felt the pressure that suppressed them disappear, didn’t chase after them immediately. Instead, they looked at Ke Chenghai, who died with regrets.
Even though they believed in Ke Chenghai’s character, they also believed what they saw with their own eyes.
Hearing Ke Chenghai’s unwilling words before he died and thinking about what the members of the Ji family said, it wasn’t difficult to guess the truth.
On the other hand, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, who were chasing after Ke Chenghai’s ghost, soon caught up to the back mountain of the Wenxin Academy.
On the way, they even met the Deputy Director.
Before they could greet him, Lu Zijia and the others quickly passed by the Deputy Director and continued to chase after him.
The Deputy Director’s expression changed when he saw this and he chased after the two of them almost without hesitation.
After more than ten breaths, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan stopped in front of a cave on the mountain wall.
Lu Zijia quickly cast a spell and pulled out Ke Chenghai’s soul, which had just been sucked into the cave, and threw it into the intermediate barrier that Mu Tianyan had just prepared.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and their cooperation was perfect.
“Ke Chenghai?”
The Deputy Director, who was one step behind, saw Ke Chenghai’s translucent figure and his old face became even more solemn.
“Deputy Director, save me, save me! I don’t want to be reduced to ashes. I don’t want to be reduced to ashes! Deputy Director, please, please ask them to let me go. I promise I’ll never return to Wenxin Academy and I’ll never harm anyone again.”
Perhaps knowing his fate, Ke Chenghai knelt down and begged the Deputy Director without hesitation.
“It’s my fault. I was possessed. I regret it and I already know my mistake. Deputy Director, please, I don’t want my soul to dissipate. I really don’t want my soul to dissipate!”
If Ke Chenghai was still alive, he would definitely be crying right now.
Unfortunately, he had died and become a ghost.
Without the concealment of his tears, his pleading seemed very fake.
Even though the Deputy Director didn’t know what happened, he could analyze the situation from what he said.
This information made the deputy director’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Ke Chenghai with a fierce gaze.
Lu Zijia ignored Ke Chenghai’s thoughts. Anyway, as long as her man didn’t relent, no one else could open the barrier.
Of course, if he encountered a level-nine Ancient Martial Arts martial artist, ahem… he would have to add another array formation.
However, she was very sure that the person hiding in the cave at this moment was not stronger than level eight of the Ancient Martial Arts.
“You should be the final mastermind of the whole thing, right?” Lu Zijia looked at the entrance of the cave and said with a smile.
It had to be said that this mastermind was very smart. Not only did he know how to lure others, but he also knew how to make use of human greed.
In the eyes of this mastermind, Ke Chenghai was probably just a relatively important pawn.
Even if Ke Chenghai was discovered, as long as there was no evidence, the mastermind could continue to hide.
And most importantly, the mastermind wasn’t afraid that his or her pawns would be discovered, because even if he was discovered, he could still make use of the last value of the chess piece.
And the final value was naturally the large amount of resentment absorbed by the chess piece when it was alive.
Of course, his attitude could only be realized under the condition that there was no evidence, and right now, Ke Chenghai, the witness, was still “alive.”
Lu Zijia waited for a moment and didn’t get an answer from the person inside, but she didn’t get angry.
“Are you asking me to invite you out?”
Lu Zijia raised her eyebrows and directly shot a lightning spell into the cave without giving the other party a chance to answer.
