Chapter 441 An Unexpected Joy
The entire world was quiet, with only a faint smell of blood in the air.
Zhang Dong and the others felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the seemingly harmless Ye Ru.
None of them expected that Ye Ru would actually dare to kill the members of the Zhong Sheng family. This would definitely lead to a fight to the death.
"What a hero! He actually killed a member of the Shi family."
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi smacked his lips, feeling a strange sense of pleasure.
The State of Jin has oppressed the State of Yanhuang for so many years, and they have been afraid of Jin's strength and have never dared to fight back. Over time, they have become extremely cowardly. And now, Ye Ru has actually killed a member of the Shi Sheng family.
“Our family of historians will not let you off the hook, not even your envoys.”
The leading scholar in black glared at Ye Ru with resentment, then said angrily.
"I guarantee you won't live to see tomorrow!"
Another scholar in black also spoke coldly.
"What to do with these people?"
Zhang Dong turned his head to look at Ye Ru, and then slowly said, "We no longer need to worry about the other party retaliating."
After all, they have won a great victory, while these scholars are seriously injured and have no offensive power whatsoever.
"Kill them, consider it settling a debt for those Yanhuang soldiers."
Ye Ru turned his head and then slowly said, "He killed Shi Yu, and the Shi family will never let him go. If we can weaken the power of the Shi family, why not?"
Upon hearing this, even Zhang Dong and the others looked at Ye Ru with a more solemn expression.
To be willing to sacrifice one's own country for it, yet show no mercy to the enemy's country—that's probably what makes a true hero.
"Alright, then kill them."
A surge of heroic spirit welled up within him, and Zhang took out a writing brush from his hand, ultimately thrusting it directly at one of the Hanlin scholars.
The brush pierced through, causing the scholar to collapse to the ground.
As Zhang Dong made his move, Star Ape King and Zhang Zhi also joined in, and within just a few minutes, three Hanlin scholars had died.
"If we kill them now, what will we do next? The Shi family will definitely come looking for us. If we have no way out, we might not be able to leave Jin."
After killing the two men, Zhang Dong spoke slowly.
"Don't rush, it will take them a while to respond. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. Let's take their storage bracelets first. I think the Xuan Turtle Pill should still be in his hands."
Ye Ru spoke slowly, then walked to Shi Yu's side, took off the storage bracelet from his hand, shattered it with his talent, and finally took out a smooth inner core.
The inner core was as hard as stone, green in color, and had a faint fluorescent glow. Inside the glow, a small turtle seemed to be crawling around.
"The harvest is not bad. Let's go. With such a large force, the National Holy Academy didn't notice it before, but they are probably already on their way here."
After playing with the Xuan Turtle Pill in his hand for a moment, Ye Ru slowly spoke to Zhang Dong and the others. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a brush with historical inscriptions and a drop of dew on the ground.
"what is this?"
Ye Ru stepped forward, took the two items in his hands, and felt the faint aura of talent emanating from them. His pupils immediately contracted:
"Could it be the long river of history and the pen of historical records?"
Looking at these two things, a question mark appeared in Ye Ru's mind. They did indeed resemble the long river of history and the pen of history books.
If that's true, then it's a wonderful surprise.
"I sense a surge of talent heading our way, let's hurry."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru carefully put away the two items, nodded, and with a tremor, the four of them disappeared into the night once again.
Not long after Ye Ru left, two streaks of light swept directly from the distant National Holy Academy. These streaks of light were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where Ye Ru had fought earlier.
"Isn't this Shi Yu from the Shi family? He's been murdered?"
The leading scholar glanced around for a moment, and when he spotted Shi Yu's head with its eyes wide open and a look of panic on its face, he couldn't help but gasp, a look of shock appearing on his face.
"I've heard of Shi Yu's reputation too. Who could possibly kill him? Besides, he's backed by the prestigious Shi family. Do these people want to die? Those who indiscriminately kill members of a powerful family will be punished by heavenly lightning!"
The other scholar looked solemn and said in a deep voice, clearly impressed by the murderer's ruthless killing.
After all, there has never been a case of someone murdering a scholar from a prestigious family here.
This is a serious crime! If discovered, it could lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family.
"What do we do now? The two of us alone probably aren't enough to catch this murderer."
"Let's go back and report to the National Holy Academy first, and then send someone from the National Holy Academy."
After reaching an agreement, the two left again.
……
The Family of Historians
"Has Shi Yu not returned yet? Is it really necessary to take this long to kill just a scholar? He's such a useless piece of trash."
Shi Tianze sat in the chair in the center, tapping his fingers on the table, and then slowly spoke to the people below.
"It shouldn't be such a short time for a noble family. Logically speaking, with Xue Hanlin and the others leading Shi Yu, killing these people should have been a piece of cake. Besides, Shi Yu also took two of our Shi Sheng family's great treasures with him."
The Hanlin scholar below smiled slightly, seemingly confident.
Shi Yu is a rare talent in the Shi family. Whether it is reciting or writing, he is several times better than ordinary scholars. Moreover, he is carrying the two great treasures of the Shi family. It would probably be difficult for the other party to escape.
"Pass on my order: have him come to my study immediately upon his return."
Seemingly satisfied with the scholar's statement, Shi Tianze nodded and stood up. However, just as he was about to turn around and go back, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
boom!
A loud thud as the door was pushed open made Shi Tianze stop in his tracks.
"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss? Have you forgotten what I taught you?!"
Shi Tianze looked at the newcomer and then said in a deep voice.
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Upon seeing Shi Tianze, the man immediately knelt down on the ground and stammered.
"what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianze suddenly had a bad feeling and then said.
"I just learned from the National Academy that Young Master Shi Yu and Xue Hanlin seem to have been killed!"
These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears. Upon hearing them, Shi Tianze's killing intent exploded. He moved swiftly, appearing directly in front of the reporter, his chilling voice echoing throughout the room.
"Who killed my son?"
