God-Like Extraction

Chapter 143: Why?

On the grass not far away, Liang Yiqing looked at Su Jingxing who disappeared in the air, his expression extremely grim.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind approached.

On the ground and in the air, figures were dashing towards Liang Yixiao.

“Old Liang, what’s going on?”

A burly man with a rough voice was the first to arrive. He landed on the main road at the periphery of the grass and glanced at Liang Yiqing. Looking at the scattered corpses, he then asked with a frown, “Who are these people?”

“I don’t know about the one in black. The other five are from the headquarters of Ci En Bank.”

Liang Yiqing’s expression was overcast as he shared in a low voice, “Their superior’s name is Lu Chen!”

“Lu Chen? The eldest son of the Lu Family, the one who just arrived in Qinghe City yesterday?”

Ma Shifeng walked over on large strides and said in a deep voice, ” What are people from the Lu Family doing here? The Lu Family has the same materials that we have on the top level of the library!”

“I don’t know.” Liang Yizhan’s face was still dark. “I only left for two hours and three groups of people had come to the library.”

“Three groups?”

Upon hearing this, the burly man who was the first to arrive scanned the surroundings and asked doubtfully, “Aren’t there only six corpses here? You said that five of them were a team, why…”

“The third has left.”

Liang Yiqing wore a somber expression as he explained, “The other party’s ability to conceal his aura is extremely terrifying. I didn’t discover him from the start until the end. It was only when he soared into the sky and left that I realized that there had been another person here at the library tonight!”

“Wait a minute, you said he soared into the sky?” A plump middle-aged man blinked and asked, “Are you sure he wasn’t stepping on air or water?”

“I’m not blind.”

Liang Yizhan scowled as he snapped, “If he had walked on air, could he have left successfully?”

“I’m just confirming it.” The middle-aged man touched his big belly and smiled bitterly. “The third person is a fourth-grade martial artist. We’re in trouble now.”

The burly man who arrived first was silent.

Ma Shifeng was also silent.

The others had shut up as well.

Liang Yiqing pulled a long face all this while, and fear flashed past his eyes.

Stepping on the air and flying in the sky for a short period of time.

This ability could be achieved by most sixth-grade martial artists as long as their lightness skill was good.

In fact, such flying could not be considered true flight. It was just gliding.

However, only fourth-grade martial artists were capable of soaring into the sky and sweeping by swiftly.

Those in the fifth-grade could not achieve this, let alone sixth-grade ones.

Even the lightness skill cultivated was of a very high level, it would still be useless.

The reason was simple——their cultivation was insufficient to support the flight!

It would require at least 50 years of true energy cultivation to charge into the sky and fly quickly in the air.

Those with true energy cultivation of more than 50 years were basically fourth-grade martial artists.

Especially this fourth-grade expert. His concealment skills were so outstanding that Liang Yiqing did not notice him from the start to the end. It was obvious how powerful the other party was.

If he had wanted to assassinate Liang Yiqing, there would be no way for Liang Yiqing to escape.

This was the reason why he was wary and still shuddering with fear.

Same reason.

A fourth-grade expert had his eyes on a certain piece of material on the top level of the library. Could they defend against it?

Maybe.

But was there a need to become enemies with a fourth-grade expert over some materials?

There was no need for that!

Given his realm, he could’ve just approached them to borrow the materials.

Although the materials and ancient books on the top level of the library were precious, most of them were replicates. It was not a big loss to lend them out.

Did he have to go so far as to sneak in secretly?

The same went for Lu Chen from Ci En Bank.

Why was he looking for the materials kept on the top level of Xuantian University’s library?

Ma Shifeng, the burly man, and the others were both suspicious and troubled when they thought of this.

“What did these two groups of people take?”

Ma Shifeng took a deep breath, broke the silence and asked.

“I just checked. Two maps.”

A skinny tutor handed Ma Shifeng two maps that he had found on the corpses.

“There’s nothing on the man in black that Elder Liang mentioned,” another female tutor added.

“Mm.”

Ma Shifeng nodded and took over the map. Under the light from the street lamps, he opened them and took a look.

The others moved closer and looked at the map.

“Aren’t these the flow direction map of the Sky Water River and the route map of the Green Cloud Mountain Range? What are they doing with these two maps?”

“Who knows? Maybe they’re looking for some kind of treasure, like the Jin Mushen treasure trove that the Shi Family purposely spread news about.”

“Heh, Jin Mushen’s treasures really exist. It’s just that no one knows where they are.”

“Based on what you said, they should have gone to the Shi residence to search for the map. Why did they come to us for the maps?”

“I guess they’re mad.”

“…”

A few tutors gathered together and discussed in low voices.

Meanwhile Ma Shifeng, Liang Yizhan, and the others pondered with frowns.

Compared to the trouble of killing two groups of people, they were more curious about their motives.

Why were they looking for maps of Sky Water River and Green Cloud Mountain?

…

At the same time.

In an ordinary estate on the east side of the university town.

“Seventh Young Master, the photo is out.”

Someone shouted in the sealed room.

At once, five people rushed out of the other rooms and came to the living room.

“How did it go? Did you find out who it was?” The girl with a ponytail asked happily.

“See for yourself.”

A young man sitting in front of the computer pushed the monitor screen to the side.

“Alright, let me take a look and see… Eh!”

The girl opened her mouth and appeared speechless. “Who can tell from this outfit?”

The photo on the computer screen captured a half-body shot of Su Jingxing wearing a cloak and a mask.

“It was expected.”

The young man with light golden hair said calmly, “Brother Wang said when he came back that he had just captured the target and was discovered by him. He was able to detect it immediately from hundreds of meters away. This person is an expert, he’s at least in the fifth-grade!”

“Most importantly, Little Wang discovered that there were two other groups of people there besides this mysterious masked man!”

The old man, whose hair and beard were meticulously groomed, said in a low voice, “These people coincidentally went to the top level of the Xuantian University library in the early hours. What is their motive? It’s worth pondering.”

“Er, you mean that their motive is the same as ours?” The girl’s expression changed.

The young man with light golden hair also frowned slightly. “If they really share the same motive as us, things will become troublesome.”

“Yeah.” The young man who was playing with the mouse added, “If it’s the same, I’m afraid the news has been leaked.”

“We all want to find the map. The problem is that no one knows where the map is. We only know that it’s in Xuantian University!”

“Not necessarily.”

The eyes of the well-groomed flashed. He analyzed, “Although the news has been leaked, not many people know about it.. Also, the map hidden in Xuantian University might not necessarily be a map!”
