Chapter 987: Tianming Sect

"What are you talking about?"

Just as several sixth-rank psychics gathered to chat and discuss.

The air beside them suddenly rippled, and a tall, slender man slowly materialized.

"Master Fu!"

Seeing the man, the group immediately grew solemn and bowed respectfully.

"I ask you again—what were you just discussing?" Fu Xingye stared at them with icy eyes.

The faint aura of an eighth-rank mid-level Master Zongshi radiated, drenching the six-rank psychics in cold sweat.

Soon, one of them, gritting his teeth, spoke up:

"We were just talking about the recent changes in the martial arts gym..."

"Changes in the martial arts gym?"

Fu Xingye stared at him without expression. "Didn't I already say that discussing this inside the guard unit is forbidden?"

"Yes..."

The man who had spoken nodded, trembling all over from fear.

"For violating the ban, you may leave right now—Thunder Martial Arts Gym has no place for you."

As soon as Fu Xingye finished speaking, their faces turned deathly pale.

As sixth-rank psychics, they could receive decent treatment in any faction.

But that depends on the circumstances!

To be expelled from the unit in such a humiliating manner...

It would be extremely difficult for any faction to accept them afterward.

Yet faced with Fu Xingye, the eighth-rank mid-level guard captain, they had no recourse.

After bowing respectfully, they could only turn and slink away in shame.

"The second group..."

After the men left, Fu Xingye frowned slightly.

Half a month ago, Deputy Director Gu Ming departed, leaving Hu Jinyu as the sole authority within Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

This had already stirred considerable unrest within the gym.

The recent arrival of powerful Li family members at the gym's headquarters had pushed this unrest to its peak.

Many psychics were discussing the gym's changes; some even claimed Thunder Martial Arts Gym had changed hands.

These events had thrown everyone into turmoil.

This was already the second group he had expelled from the guard unit.

If this was happening in the guard unit, imagine the chaos in Thunder Martial Arts Gym's other branches—rumors must be flying everywhere.

"I wonder when Director Su and Xu Jingming will return."

"If they delay any longer, it may be beyond saving..."

Shaking his head, Fu Xingye's figure slowly dissolved into the air.

No matter what changes occurred in Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

His primary duty right now was still to protect Xu Jingming's family...

"Sister Jiang Chu Xuan, when do you think Jingming and Shuang-jie will return?"

In the villa's outdoor training ground, Song Qiuyun, drenched in sweat after completing a training set, asked Jiang Chu Xuan beside her.

With an eighth-rank Master Zongshi as their personal instructor, they no longer needed to attend the Magu City Psychic University.

They only needed to train and cultivate within the villa.

"I'm not sure, but it should be soon."

Shhh—

Jiang Chu Xuan, her body radiating cold air, replied thoughtfully, "They've been gone for over a month."

"That's true."

Song Qiuyun nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming: "When Jingming returns, he'll restore order to the gym!"

"Yes, Hu Jinyu and the others won't be able to act so arrogantly for long."

The white-haired girl Jiang Chu Xuan smiled lightly in agreement.

The changes in Thunder Martial Arts Gym had not escaped their notice.

But unlike others, they had full confidence in Xu Jingming.

Whether it was Hu Jinyu or the Li family, they firmly believed Xu Jingming could resolve everything upon his return.

This confidence had been built through their long years of companionship with Xu Jingming.

Just as they were about to resume training, a wild laugh suddenly erupted from outside:

"Given by Heaven's Mandate, the Heavenly God Endures!

Xu Jingming! You killed so many of our people—today is the day Tianming Sect seeks revenge!"

Boom!!

Accompanying the laughter, an overwhelming aura surged from afar.

It froze Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu Xuan in place, nearly halting their psychic energy flow!

"Alarm! Alarm! Detected eighth-rank peak Master Zongshi aura! Evacuate immediately, both masters!!"

"Alarm! Alarm! Detected eighth-rank peak Master Zongshi aura! Evacuate immediately, both masters!!"

"..."

The entire villa echoed with the shrill alarm.

Under the sunlight, two black instruments placed on the open training ground melted like ice cream.

Then they coalesced into two mechanical giants, over three meters tall, with crimson eyes!

Chi Mang Liu Jin Guards!

Only after the two guards unleashed their aura did Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan regain normal movement.

At the same time, a phantom rushed in from outside the villa, solidifying into the figure of Fu Xingye.

He was slightly startled upon seeing the two Chi Mang Liu Jin Guards, but quickly regained composure, his expression solemn:

"My lords! Cultists have invaded the compound—please follow me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a brazen, booming laugh erupted from outside the villa:

"Want to leave? Too late!"

A man enveloped in a black robe, his body surging with crimson blood qi, appeared beyond the villa's fence.

"So soon?" Fu Xingye's expression shifted slightly.

Yuehu Community is the family compound of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

For intrusions of this level, an alarm system had long been installed to grant residents time to evacuate.

Yet this intruder reached here without triggering the alarm—clearly, the alarm system had failed.

But now was no time to investigate the alarm system.

"My lords, please leave first—I'll handle him."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xingye clenched an eighth-rank Blood-Explosion Pill in his hand, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

At over forty, his potential was spent; without external aid, he could hardly advance further.

He had worked hard to cling to Xu Jingming as his patron—he could not afford to let go!

Even if he was gravely wounded today, he would not let Xu Jingming's woman suffer a single scratch!

This was a gamble!

A gamble that might cost him his life!

But if he won, the rewards afterward would be unimaginable.

Just as he resolved to swallow the Blood-Explosion Pill—

Boom!!

A thick, emerald vine, as massive as a giant serpent, burst from the ground.

Then it whipped sharply, launching a leaf like a flying sword!

The leaf-sword struck like lightning, completely blasting the cultist's head apart!

Puch—

His head exploded like a watermelon, red and white matter splattering across the ground.

The Tianming Sect cultist, who had been so brazen moments before, never even moved—he collapsed as a headless corpse.

The green vine swiftly retracted, coiling obediently around Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan.

Like a puppy hoping for praise.

"This...?"

Fu Xingye's eyes widened, staring in stunned disbelief.

He never expected the Tianming Sect crisis to arrive so suddenly—and end so suddenly.

Not even he had time to react...
