Chapter 210: Chapter 209: The Identity of the Sword God’s Disciple Is Exposed

Outside the Star Martial Police Bureau.

The night air was gentle.

Liu Wushuang, a bow slung over his back, walked slowly down the street. He burned the photograph in his hand to ash and tossed it into a nearby trash can.

He had the information.

The Commander had just told him everything.

Family, address, Li Zixuan’s family background, personal relationships... everything had been meticulously sorted and was extremely detailed.

The Commander was truly worthy of his position as Chief Steward of the entire Jianghai Defense. He had clearly gone to great lengths for this investigation.

But all the information stopped before Li Zixuan reached the Innate realm.

’So she’s from the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy...’

Liu Wushuang frowned in thought and strode forward. ’I remember Xiaolinzi... I think he came from this academy too, right?’

Now that he had so much information, everything would be much easier.

As long as he questioned him directly later, the truth would naturally come to light.

’Hmph. A mere junior. You’d better not try to deceive me.’

Liu Wushuang thought indifferently as he gathered Star Force within his body, preparing to head toward the Martial Arts Academy.

But just then!

Suddenly!

The flow of people on the street reversed.

A large, clamoring crowd surged past him, holding their phones high. They were all pointing them at the sky, filming and shouting nonstop.

In an instant, the street descended into chaos, a cacophony of blaring car horns.

Every citizen held up their phone, staring up at the heavens.

"Hm? What’s this?"

Seeing this, Liu Wushuang narrowed his eyes and followed their gazes toward the sky.

There, in the vast sky...

A black hole hung on the horizon. It was pitch-dark and devoid of light, swallowing all the moonlight that touched it, not letting a single trace escape.

Profound and silent.

The people below gazed at the scene, scrambling to record it on their phones and upload it to the internet. The excited chatter was endless.

"It’s a celestial phenomenon! It wasn’t there a moment ago!"

"How did it appear!? Did anyone see?"

"I think an arrow made it!!"

"..."

The crowd chattered away as they stared at the phenomenon above.

’Hmph! Jianghai Arrow God, are you trying to challenge me?’

Liu Wushuang’s expression darkened. Listening to the surrounding discussion, he suddenly felt rather displeased.

As the Divine Arrow Venerable, he could naturally tell that this work of art in the sky was a phenomenon created through Archery.

But...

’How long have I been here?’

’I just arrived, and he’s already putting on such an arrogant display?’

’Don’t tell me this Arrow God knows I’ve arrived?’

Liu Wushuang snorted, recalling the information on Li Zixuan.

’I have the information. Next is to follow the clues and find this Jianghai Arrow God.’

’I’m eager to see just who you are!!’

At that thought, Liu Wushuang’s figure flickered and vanished on the spot, right in front of the crowd.

...

「Meanwhile」

The black hole in the sky spread across the internet, its popularity fermenting rapidly as countless netizens shared the strange sight.

Videos from multiple angles were passed around. Major clickbait accounts started hyping it up, with theories about UFOs, extraterrestrial forces, and fringe science appearing one after another.

[Did anyone get a clear look?!]

[I did! I think an arrow flew up there just now!]

[I think it was done by that Arrow God who killed the Cult Demons!]

[Don’t tell me the hole in the sky got bigger?]

[The end of the world is coming! This black hole isn’t going to become a new hole in the sky, is it?]

...

"Wow, Master!"

"That black hole in the sky is totally viral online right now!"

At home, Xiaobai skipped over to Qin Yang’s side, phone in hand. She shared the pictures from online, pressing up against him.

She shoved the phone screen in his face.

"Look! You did all this!"

"Tsk. The Arrow God did it. What’s it got to do with me?"

Hearing this, Qin Yang gave a dismissive wave of his hand. "That black hole will disappear soon, it’s no big deal... Shoo, shoo, move your butt away. Don’t bother me while I’m reading."

With that,

he pulled out a book.

He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and started reading with great interest.

’Just after firing that arrow, my connection with the Sun-Shooting Bow has become much closer. It’s a huge gain, a whole new level.’

’As for that black hole?’

’Let them make a fuss!’ 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I want to read too, Master!"

Seeing this, Xiaobai nuzzled him with her head, wiggled her butt, and squirmed into Qin Yang’s lap. She propped her head against his chin and obediently started reading with him.

Her gaze fell upon the title...

*Three Hundred Rules for Library Management*

"???"

Xiaobai stared blankly, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

’Master is actually reading a book like this?!’

And...

’It’s a work-related book!’

"Tch. Got a problem with it?"

Qin Yang sensed Xiaobai’s thoughts and leisurely turned the page.

"I’m a Steward now. It’s going to be harder to slack off in the future... If I don’t master the rules first, how can I slack off properly?!"

Xiaobai: "..."

...

「And at the same time.」

Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

Tengfei Building.

Elder Li and Lin Mofeng stood before the floor-to-ceiling window.

The master and disciple pair held their cups of tea, both gazing up at the black hole in the sky in utter amazement.

The massive black hole dominated the sky, cracking the very void. The sight was far too magnificent, like the advent of a divine miracle.

A moment later,

the black hole slowly collapsed and disappeared.

Only then did they, feeling it had ended too soon, return to their seats.

"Interesting!"

"Truly interesting."

Elder Li stroked his white beard and looked at Lin Mofeng with great interest. "Mo Feng, I am not as strong as you. Plus, you have traveled to the Imperial Capital and are far more knowledgeable.

Tell me, what do you make of this black hole?"

"Mm... When I was studying in the Imperial Capital, I did indeed see many Star Martial Artists who were skilled with the bow. All of them were experts in Archery. Those above the Grandmaster realm could pierce mountains with a single arrow."

Lin Mofeng recalled the scene from moments ago, pondered for a moment, and said with emotion, "However, in the world today, there is perhaps only one person capable of such a feat."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Elder Li’s eyes lit up. "Who is it?"

’Someone capable of such a god-like technique.’

’Perhaps from this, we can deduce which elder took action back then!’

’It might just be him!!’

At this thought,

Elder Li hurriedly and probingly asked, "Then the person who saved us before, could it be..."

"No, it couldn’t be that elder. Teacher, I understand what you mean."

Lin Mofeng shook his head. "That elder, the greatest in the world at Archery, is likely in the Imperial Capital."

Then, he said softly, "And he has deep ties with our Lin Family."

"He is none other than the Divine Arrow Venerable... Liu Wushuang."

As his voice fell.

BUZZ!

The void within the room suddenly trembled!

Visible spatial ripples spread out as frantic Star Force surged all around, like a deep-sea undercurrent!!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

A point of condensation abruptly appeared in the center of the room.

It was as if someone was about to arrive.

"What is this?!"

Seeing this, Elder Li’s expression changed drastically. He subconsciously sent out his Sword Qi, sweeping it across.

BANG! BANG!

The two streams of Qi collided. Elder Li’s Sword Qi was like the wind, but it was instantly and violently dispersed!

Immediately after.

"Teacher! Do not be rude!"

Lin Mofeng quickly held Elder Li back, his heart pounding. He had already sensed the newcomer’s aura.

"It’s Elder Wushuang!"

As his voice fell,

an angry rebuke suddenly exploded forth—

"You insolent brat, Lin! You dared to speak my name directly just now?!"

Liu Wushuang shattered the void and instantly appeared in the center of the office. His magnificent robes rustled as his oppressive aura swept through the entire room, his hair and beard floating on the air.

"Junior Lin Mofeng greets Elder Wushuang!"

Seeing this, Lin Mofeng quickly bowed apologetically. He looked at Liu Wushuang with trepidation and said, "I spoke carelessly before, I wasn’t paying attention..."

"Don’t panic! Xiaolinzi, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you."

Liu Wushuang’s stern face relaxed into a slight smile, and he dissipated the surrounding pressure.

The pressure just now was only to scare them.

He was a sworn friend of the Lin Clan Elders. He had met many of the juniors of Lin Mofeng’s generation, so how could he possibly have a falling out with him?

"Elder Wushuang, I was rude just now..."

Elder Li cupped his fists and added apologetically, "Your Excellency graced us with your presence, and I didn’t realize it. I thought those Cult Demons were attacking... so I acted rashly."

"No matter. It was just a slight ripple."

Liu Wushuang glanced at Elder Li and shook his head. "With just your Innate Sword Qi, you’re far from being able to hurt me. Don’t worry about it."

As his words fell,

Elder Li and Lin Mofeng exchanged a look.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

After all,

the status of the Venerable Realm was already noble.

What’s more, the man was from the Venerable Alliance, making him someone they absolutely could not afford to provoke.

If he had truly decided to punish them, the consequences would have been unimaginable!!

"Elder Wushuang, since you were coming to Jianghai, why didn’t you inform us beforehand?"

Lin Mofeng said softly, "That way, we could have prepared a proper welcome."

"There’s no need. I have little interest in those mundane formalities...

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang shook his head. "If not for an unexpected matter, I wouldn’t have come to your Jianghai City... I came here this time mainly to find someone."

With that, he glanced at Elder Li and Lin Mofeng.

"Li Zixuan... That name should be familiar to you, right?

I heard she is the disciple of the Jianghai Sword God? The two of you, bring her out... I need to find her to discuss the matter of the Sword God’s death."

As his voice fell.

"Xuanxuan?!"

"Junior Sister?"

Elder Li and Lin Mofeng were both stunned and confused. "You came all this way just to find Zixuan? She’s currently in seclusion, I’m afraid she can’t receive you..."

"In seclusion?!"

Liu Wushuang’s brow furrowed tightly upon hearing this. "What’s a young girl like her doing in seclusion? Don’t you two try to deceive me. Bring her out."

"This..."

Lin Mofeng hesitated at his words.

’If he forces her out of seclusion, Liu Wushuang will surely find trouble with Junior Sister and cause unnecessary problems.’

At this thought,

Lin Mofeng hesitated and said in a low voice, "Elder Wushuang, I do know someone, a man named Qin Yang. He might have some connection to the Sword God. You might want to ask him."

He then added softly, "If you’re investigating, you could ask him."

"Qin Yang?"

Hearing this name,

Liu Wushuang’s eyes turned cold. After getting the location, he vanished directly from the office.

...

「A few moments later.」

The office was silent.

"Mo Feng, was it too reckless of you to expose Qin Yang?"

Elder Li tapped on the table. "What if he attacks Qin Yang?"

"Don’t worry, Teacher."

Lin Mofeng said, "I am acquainted with Elder Wushuang. Although he is stubborn, he is not a bad person at heart. He is not the type to bully the weak, and he wouldn’t attack a junior without reason."
