Chapter 258 - 28 Appearance
The severely injured disciple didn’t move a muscle. However, his mind was in turmoil, and coupled with his grave injuries, he finally lost consciousness after two breaths.
Witnessing all this, the masked man once again had a smile on his lips.
"With things being this way, Lin Yuan becomes the catalyst between the two sides. When the time comes and he finds himself with nowhere to go, Daoist Chang Mei will be unable to protect him, and he will likely be expelled from the academy."
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.
By killing He Run, he would completely escalate the conflict between the Zheguang and Yunyin factions, thereby plunging Xuri Martial Academy into chaos, causing it to collapse without a fight.
The man in the black robe turned around and looked once more at the two people lying on the carriage.
He Run was dead.
After Lin Yuan leaves, he could draw him into the Qu Xiang Sect. The Qu Xiang Sect’s growth necessitates absorbing geniuses like Lin Yuan to continue its expansion.
This is the only way to truly allow the Qu Xiang Sect to gradually expand, eventually realizing its grand ideals.
"However, although Lin Yuan has good martial arts talent, his strategic thinking is lacking. Once I recruit him into the holy sect, I’ll observe him closely. If he turns out to be just an indiscreet brute, I can only use him as a pawn."
Thinking of this, the masked man felt somewhat desolate. The holy sect’s growth is hindered by a severe lack of talent, and finding those with brains is even rarer.
