Chapter 199: Chapter 189 Clean and Tidy

Zhao Tu looked around, then at Shen Ye and Xu Xingke, and his face changed."Who gave you the permission to threaten Shen Ye?"

Xu Xingke asked.

"Who are you?" Zhao Tu demanded.

Xu Xingke said calmly, "Who gave you the permission to threaten Shen Ye? If you tell the truth now, you can live; tell a lie, you die; don't answer, you're also dead."

"Somebody help! There's trouble here!" Zhao Tu shouted loudly.

He took a defensive stance and began to back away step by step, and then suddenly, he couldn't move.

In an instant.

His entire being turned into a black stone statue.

Deathly gray rock texture spread from his body to the ground, and it dyed the entire entrance of the Security Bureau before continuing to push forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few moments.

The entire Security Bureau had turned completely deathly gray.

No—

It should be said that in this dead silence, the majestic building along with everyone in it, had all been turned into statues.

Xu Xingke still stood motionless, holding Shen Ye's phone in his hand, and said:

"Go, tell the World Government about this and find someone in charge to talk to."

"Your request is being processed," Kunlun responded.

Shen Ye glanced at Xu Xingke, and then looked at the fellow named Zhao Tu.

That guy maintained a retreating posture, his expression wary and frantic, his hand in his pocket, ready to pull out something.

But he was frozen in that moment.

—As a statue.

"Teacher, confronting the World Government directly, have we gone too far?" Shen Ye asked.

"It's not the entire World Government, but a group of officials inside—they are the ones wanting to doom this world," Xu Xingke said.

"Doom the world?" Shen Ye was somewhat confused.

"A bunch of fools, do they really think Chaos Spirit Light is something to be trifled with?"

Xu Xingke's facial muscles twitched, but he tried to maintain a calm tone:

"Using you to test Song Yinchen, to achieve the goal of controlling Chaos Spirit Light—You would surely have been killed by Chaos Spirit Light, and whether this world would be shattered by Chaos Spirit Light, no one knows."

A "ding-dong" rang from the phone.

"The person in charge of the matter has arrived," the voice of Kunlun came through.

Xu Xingke looked up at the sky.

Shen Ye followed his gaze upward, only to see a man standing in the sky, dressed in a suit, looking refined and polished.

"Mr. Xu, hello," the man said.

Xu Xingke looked at him coldly and asked,

"Who gave you the permission to threaten Shen Ye? Tell the truth now, and you can live; tell a lie, you die; don't answer, you're also dead."

The man said seriously,

"This was a collective decision. Song Yinchen is too dangerous, we cannot let her—"

His voice abruptly stopped.

Shen Ye did not see Xu Xingke doing anything.

The man in the sky turned directly into a dark gray stone statue and swiftly plummeted downward.

Crash—

The statue shattered on the ground, breaking into seven or eight pieces.

"..." Shen Ye.

Was that a kill?

It must have been!

Damn, just what is my teacher's identity, are we really going to go toe-to-toe with the World Government?

Shen Ye was getting excited.

Xu Xingke, holding Shen Ye's phone like a walkie-talkie, said,

"Find another person in charge."

"Why did you kill him?" Kunlun asked.

"Who gave him the right to talk to me from such a high position? Bring his superior," Xu Xingke said.

The next second.

Kunlun's voice sounded again:

"Hello, Chairman Fu Changming of the Archaeological Association is now online."

Immediately after, a calm and elderly voice spoke:

"Who is this arrogant person who has bothered Kunlun to call me out of a meeting?"

"I'm Xu Xingke," Xu Xingke said.

"You? What do you want with me? I've done nothing to provoke you!" the elderly voice said.

"Shen Ye is my student. I am aware of your use of him to test the Chaos Spirit Light," Xu Xingke said.

"I see. Mr. Xu, what do you want?" the elderly voice asked.

"Wait a minute," Xu Xingke said. Continue your saga on мѵʟ

He took a few steps forward, lifted his foot, and mercilessly stomped on Zhao Tu's face.

Crash—

Zhao Tu's statue crumbled into flying debris, scattering across the ground.

"Kunlun, show him the scene," Xu Xingke said.

"Yes," the electronic voice replied.

"What's the matter?" the aged voice asked, puzzled.

"I've killed your men," Xu Xingke said with a smirk.

After a few breaths,

the other side seemed to have seen the situation just now.

"Make me an offer," the aged voice sank.

"The Archaeological Association must withdraw from all government departments," Xu Xingke said.

"Isn't that a bit too much," the aged voice said.

"Where are you?" Xu Xingke asked.

"...What are you planning to do?" the aged voice asked.

"By killing you, there's no need to worry about all these troubles—you and all your subordinates must die. It's necessary for the world to continue existing,"

Xu Xingke said in an indifferent tone.

The aged voice finally became panicked:

"Why go to such extremes... Mr. Xu, we will have a meeting right away and vote to pass your decision."

"If I don't see results in five minutes, I will kill all of you," Xu Xingke finished and hung up the phone.

"..." Shen Ye.

Damn it.

No wonder even Yazi is willing to serve as his mount!

"Teacher, if there are no results in five minutes, will you really kill them all?" Shen Ye asked.

"Among all Divine Artifacts, Chaos Spirit Light is like the most unstable bomb; they actually want to exploit this bomb, which means they are screwed up here,"

Xu Xingke tapped on his head with his finger.

"I'm eliminating them for the sake of human welfare—"

"If anyone is allowed to tamper with Chaos Spirit Light, it would mean I care too little for the fate of humanity."

Shen Ye couldn't help but nod slightly.

The cell phone screen lit up automatically.

The voice from Kunlun sounded:

"Announcement."

"The Archaeological Association has called an emergency press conference, announcing that from now on, members may not hold positions within government agencies."

Then, the old man's voice followed:

"Mr. Xu, are you satisfied?"

"That's enough, but if I find you bothering Shen Ye again, none of you will live," Xu Xingke said.

"Understood, Mr. Xu."

Xu Xingke then chuckled, speaking in a gentle tone:

"Old Fu, you're already so successful, why fixate on Chaos Spirit Light? Why bother my student?"

"Ah, it was all a misunderstanding! Had I known it was your student, I wouldn't have done such a thing," Chairman Fu sighed.

"Alright, since it was a misunderstanding, just resolving it is fine. I'll invite you for a drink another day," Xu Xingke said.

"Sure, sure," Chairman Fu responded.

Xu Xingke hung up the phone.

The cell phone returned to Shen Ye's hand.

"Such trash are the minority; don't worry about it. If it happens again, just call for me," Xu Xingke said.

"Yes... Teacher, did you come to see me about something?" Shen Ye asked.

"There is indeed a small matter. Since I was passing by, I thought I'd let you know," Xu Xingke said.

"Ah?"

"I heard about that issue with Yun Ni. If you have to fight with her subordinates, winning or losing doesn't matter."

He stretched out his finger and traced it across the scarlet vertical stripes on Shen Ye's wrist.

Soft light instantly collected into words:

"??? Mark."

Mark—

Shen Ye had no idea what his teacher had done; his power was completely unable to recognize it.

Shen Ye could only say, "Thank you, Teacher."

"But still, it's better to win. We're not used to losing to others," Xu Xingke said.

—Teacher is quite competitive.

Shen Ye silently thought to himself and voiced:

"Yes, Teacher." Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Well now, since it's the holidays, I won't bother you further. See you when school starts again," Xu Xingke.

"Teacher, do you have anything else?" Shen Ye asked.

"Indeed," Xu Xingke said with a grin, "I'm off to kill that Old Fu, and all the people involved in this matter under his command."

Shen Ye exclaimed in shock, "Ah? But didn't Teacher just... Was that to lull him into a false sense of security?"

"Of course. Once they know I'm out to kill them, they're bound to start running around."

Xu Xingke said seriously:

"I hate it when people run away; it wastes so much of my time."

"..." Shen Ye.

With those words, Xu Xingke's eyes narrowed, and he emanated a deep killing intent, saying softly:

"When we set out to do something, we make sure to do it cleanly."

"—Leaving no troubles behind."

With a "whoosh," Xu Xingke surged into the sky and instantly disappeared without a trace.
