Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 197

Zhao Tu looked around, then at Shen Ye and Xu Xingke, his expression changing.

“Who told you to threaten Shen Ye?”

Xu Xingke asked.

“Who are you?” Zhao Tu demanded.

Xu Xingke calmly said, “Who told you to threaten Shen Ye? Tell the truth now, and you live; lie, and you die; don’t answer, and you also die.”

“Guards! Someone is causing trouble here!” Zhao Tu shouted.

He adopted a defensive posture, retreating step by step, then suddenly froze.

In an instant.

His entire body turned into a black stone statue.

The ashen-gray rocky texture spread from him to the ground, staining the entire entrance of the Security Bureau, and continuing to advance at a visible speed.

In just a few breaths.

The entire Security Bureau completely turned ashen-gray.

No—

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

Xu Xingke remained standing still, holding Shen Ye’s phone, and said:

“Go, tell the World Government about this, and find someone responsible to talk to.”

“Your request is being processed,” Kunlun responded.

Shen Ye looked at Xu Xingke, then at the guy named Zhao Tu.

The guy remained in his retreating posture, his expression wary and flustered, his hand in his pocket, ready to take something out.

But he was frozen in that moment.

—As a statue.

“Teacher, aren’t we stirring up a bit too much by directly confronting the World Government?” Shen Ye asked.

“It’s not the entire World Government, but a group of officials within it—they want to ruin this world,” Xu Xingke said.

“Ruin the world?” Shen Ye was a bit confused.

“A bunch of fools, do they really think that the Chaos Spiritual Light is something to be manipulated at will?”

Xu Xingke’s facial muscles twitched, but his tone remained calm.

“Using you to test Song Yinchen, to achieve the goal of controlling the Chaos Spiritual Light—you will definitely be killed by the Chaos Spiritual Light. As for whether this world will be shattered by the Chaos Spiritual Light, no one knows.”

A “ding dong” sound came from the phone.

“The person in charge of the matter has arrived,” Kunlun’s voice came through.

Xu Xingke looked up at the sky.

Shen Ye followed his gaze, only to see a man in formal attire, refined and scholarly, standing in the sky.

“Hello, Mr. Xu,” the man said.

Xu Xingke gave him a cold look and asked:

“Who told you to threaten Shen Ye? Tell the truth now, and you live; lie, and you die; don’t answer, and you also die.”

The man said seriously:

“This is a collective decision, Song Yinchen is too dangerous, we cannot let her—”

His voice abruptly cut off.

Shen Ye didn’t see what Xu Xingke did at all.

The man in the sky directly turned into a black and gray stone statue, falling rapidly.

Crash—

The statue hit the ground, shattering into seven or eight pieces.

“…” Shen Ye.

Did he kill him?

Probably!

Damn it, what is my teacher’s identity? Is he going to go against the World Government?

Shen Ye became excited.

Xu Xingke held Shen Ye’s phone like a walkie-talkie and said:

“Find another person in charge.”

“Why did you kill him?” Kunlun asked.

“Who gave him the right to talk to me from up there? Get his superior,” Xu Xingke said.

The next second.

Kunlun’s voice sounded again:

“Hello, Fu Changming, the standing director of the Archaeology Association, is online.”

Immediately after, a calm and aged voice sounded:

“Who is so arrogant as to bother Kunlun to call me out of a meeting?”

“I am Xu Xingke,” Xu Xingke said.

“You? What do you want with me? I didn’t provoke you!” the aged voice said.

“Shen Ye is my student. I already know about you using him to test the Chaos Spiritual Light,” Xu Xingke said.

“So that’s it, Mr. Xu, what do you want?” the aged voice asked.

“Wait a moment,” Xu Xingke said.

He took a few steps forward, raised his foot, and stomped hard on Zhao Tu’s face.

Crash—

Zhao Tu’s statue was crushed into flying debris, scattering all over the ground.

“Kunlun, show him the scene,” Xu Xingke said.

“Yes,” the electronic voice said.

“What’s going on?” the aged voice asked, puzzled.

“I killed your man.” Xu Xingke pursed his lips and smiled.

After a few breaths.

The other side seemed to have seen what had just happened.

“Name your condition,” the aged voice deepened.

“The Archaeology Association withdraws 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 do you want to do?” the aged voice asked.

“If I kill you, I won’t have to worry about so many troublesome things—you and all your subordinates will die. This is something that must be done for the world to continue to exist.”

Xu Xingke said in a calm tone.

The aged voice finally became flustered:

“Why does it have to come to this… Mr. Xu, we will hold a meeting immediately and vote to approve your decision.”

“If I don’t see results in five minutes, I will kill all of you,” Xu Xingke said, then hung up the phone.

“…” Shen Ye.

Damn it.

No wonder even睚眥 (a mythical beast) was willing to be his mount!

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

“Among all artifacts, the Chaos Spiritual Light is like the most unstable bomb. They actually want to use this bomb, which means something is broken here.”

Xu Xingke tapped his head with his finger.

“I am eliminating them for the well-being of humanity—”

“If I allow anyone to test the Chaos Spiritual Light, then I would be too indifferent to the fate of humanity.”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but nod slightly.

The phone screen automatically lit up.

Kunlun’s voice sounded:

“Sending a message.”

“The Archaeology Association held an emergency press conference, announcing that from now on, members are not allowed to hold positions in government agencies.”

Then it switched back to the old man’s voice:

“Mr. Xu, are you satisfied?”

“That’s all for now. If I find you troubling Shen Ye again, none of you will live,” Xu Xingke said.

“Understood, Mr. Xu.”

Xu Xingke suddenly smiled again, and said in a gentle tone:

“Old Fu, you’ve already done so well, why must you keep staring at the Chaos Spiritual Light? And even provoke my student?”

“Alas, it’s all a misunderstanding! If I had known he was your student, I would never have done such a thing,” President Fu sighed and said.

“Alright, it’s a misunderstanding, just clear it up. I’ll treat you to a drink another day,” Xu Xingke said.

“Sure, sure,” President Fu said.

Xu Xingke hung up the phone.

The phone returned to Shen Ye’s hand.

“This kind of trash is a minority, don’t worry about it. If it happens again, just call me,” Xu Xingke said.

“Yes… Teacher, did you come to see me for something?” Shen Ye asked.

“Indeed, a small matter. I happened to be passing by your place and wanted to tell you something,” Xu Xingke said.

“Ah?”

“I know about Yun Ni’s matter. If you have to fight her subordinates, winning or losing doesn’t matter.”

He extended a finger and drew a line on the crimson vertical mark on Shen Ye’s wrist.

A faint light immediately gathered into words:

“??? Mark.”

Mark—

Shen Ye had no idea what the teacher had done; his own abilities couldn’t discern it at all.

Shen Ye could only say, “Thank you, Teacher.”

“But it’s best to win. We’re not

accustomed to losing to others,” Xu Xingke said.

—Teacher is very competitive.

Shen Ye thought silently in his heart, and then said aloud:

“Yes, Teacher.”

“Alright, it’s a holiday now, so I won’t bother you. See you when school starts,” Xu Xingke said.

“Does Teacher have other business?” Shen Ye asked.

“That’s right,” Xu Xingke grinned, “I’m going to kill that Old Fu, and everyone under him who was involved in this matter.”

Shen Ye exclaimed, “Ah? Didn’t Teacher just… was he just faking it?”

“Of course. Once they know I’m going to kill them, they’ll surely scatter and run.”

Xu Xingke said seriously:

“I hate it when people run away; it wastes a lot of my time.”

“…” Shen Ye.

As he said this, Xu Xingke’s eyes narrowed, emanating a profound killing intent, and he said in a gentle voice:

“When we do things, we must do them cleanly.”

“—Leave no future trouble.”

With a “swish” sound, Xu Xingke soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
