"Zhyho, wait here and escort the other youths safely once they come out of the ruins," Jaux ordered and collected Garyx's corpse, "Beshrin, you come with me."
Jaux and Beshrin left the place, while the other Silver Dragon experts stood rooted on their spot, unsure of what to do.
"Collect all the information about that person named Gin, his family members, friends, and every person he interacted with from birth." Zhyho paused before continuing, "If we don't present ample information, Master Mesryth will definitely exert his anger at us."
Mesryth Bluehorn — Grandfather of Garyx and also a previous family leader of the Bluehorn family. He's an expert who stands at the peak of this world with 9 hidden seals destroyed.
Furthermore, he's one of the 10 Golden Protectors of Silver Dragon domain. Apart from the current Ruling leader, no one can equal him in authority and status.
Just thinking about facing Mesryth sent chills down the spines of Zhyho and other representatives. They can only hope Master Mesryth will be merciful to them.
Zhyho very much wants to escape from this predicament by divulging Alfin's student is the reason for Garyx's death. But, if he did that someone will find Garyx's death is indirectly linked to him one way or another.
Once Mesryth learns this truth, he will be incinerated into ashes.
He was already sweating heavily, fearing Beshrin and Jaux would sacrifice his life to save theirs. He already started to plan his escape, in case if something goes wrong.
Aside from Garyx, there's another person who was in a great dilemma right now — Dean Alfin as he eavesdropped everything Jaux and Zhyho talked about.
Alfin's face lost all the colors when he heard Gin's name, he knows the peoples of Silver Dragon domain will come looking for him as he's Gin's teacher and anyone related to Gin.
The Heaven Fall academy which he built brick by brick will be razed to the ground while he and his students will be hunted like wild animals.
Even so, he didn't blame Gin, not even a bit. His student killed someone who came to take his life, there's nothing wrong with it.
In fact, he wanted to heartily praise him, 'You have done well!'. Gin has done what he couldn't achieve all these years — fearlessly opposing them.
What he hates is, as a teacher he couldn't even protect his student from the trouble he caused. If he opposed the silver dragon domain, they may die, so be it.
Instead of living like a coward in such a barren region, he better die. All these years, Alfin couldn't understand something so simple, he just wanted to live and pass his dreams to the next generation.
Not anymore, now his only fear is his students' safety especially Gin and he will make sure nothing happens to them.
The hate he has towards the Silver Dargon domain is not something others can imagine, as he bottled up all the enmity and resentment in his heart.
'I should start making preparations.' Alfin pondered and left the northern wasteland at his fastest speed.
"I hope Baste has succeeded in breaking through to Seal Destruction stage..." Dean Alfin thought and quickly called him.

Inside the ruin,
Garyx's three companions lay dead before Gin and Shaun. Shaun rubbed his temples, "You have a knack for trouble, is this some innate gift bestowed by heavens to you?"
A few minutes back,
After 10 mins of continuous sprinting, Shaun finally caught up with Gin but he didn't foresee Gin would encounter an assassination.
He saw Gin sitting before the three corpses and blankly staring at them, lost in thoughts. Only after hearing from Gin, Shaun understood everything and know how much of a trouble Gin was in.
"Let's go over the process once again, Garyx wanted to kill you but he failed in his sneak attack and used a teleportation leaf to escape from you, am I right?" Shaun asked while Gin nodded.
"I have a few questions, you have to answer me truthfully and accurately!"
"Are you sure the throwing Knife you threw at Garyx is coated with poison?" Shaun asked while Gin answered 'Yes'.
Gin already interrogated and obtained some useful information from the person named Bryn who threw the poisoned knives.
"How confident are you that the throwing knife successfully pierced and killed Garyx?" Shaun asked his second question.
"50%," Gin answered.
"There are two possibilities; one – your attack didn't kill Garyx, he is alive and well. Second, your attack killed Garyx."
"Even if he didn't die, he and his family won't let you live for trying to kill him. But, if he died then there's not much of a problem since no one will come to know you are the one who killed Garyx." Shaun shared his opinion.
"What I am afraid, is Garyx mentioning my name before he dies. Even if its some potent poison, it will take some time to kill a person." Gin spoke.
At that moment of attack, the blinding light spun around Garyx obscured his eyes from getting a clean shot. He aimed for his head, but he wasn't sure where it pierced.
Shaun froze listening to Gin, he rubbed his temples once again and spoke, "It's worst. If Garyx dies and if his family knows the killer is you, you're in much bigger trouble."
"Gin, I am not saying this to frighten you, you are really in a very big danger. Not just you, your friends, and families too."
Gin didn't think his actions would implicate his friends and Heaven Fall Academy. It was a miscalculation on his part, as he didn't think Garyx would have something precious like a space-transport leaf on his hands.
Just thinking about something happening to Hammer, Yirene, Astro and the fellow students of Heaven fall academy terrifies him greatly.
He didn't expect just a single mistake will turn his world upside down. He also understood how weak and powerless he was, in front of a huge behemoth like Silver Dragon domain.
He brought such huge trouble to the Heaven Fall academy, he didn't how he was going to face Dean Alfin in the future.
His hands were shivering in nervousness, he doesn't know how to react to this situation or whom he should ask for help or what should he do.
He wasn't afraid of anyone targeting him, but the peoples by his side. Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, they are not the only force in the human continent with power and authority"
"I know, but I don't know anyone from core regions." Gin shook his head.
"What?! Come on Gin, did you forget I am from the core region?" Shaun asked.
Gin knows Shaun is from the core region, but he didn't think much about his family status and Shaun too didn't explain anything. But from Shaun's confidence tone, he knows he guessed wrong.
"Don't underestimate me, just because I am a Physique cultivator; my family is quite strong. I don't want to contact my father whom I detest the most, but for you, I will ask."
"Thank you, Shaun."
"Don't be, we are friends and you already helped me a lot but defeating a Fiend group. You don't know how much I hate the fiends." Shaun waved his hands.
"Furthermore, don't forget you saved that Little girl Luna. If her sister was willing to help you, none can touch you or your friends."
"I think you underestimate your influence, some of the youths who joined us to battle the fiends were not ordinary persons. If they know your situation, some of them will definitely lend you a helping hand."
"Let's go back. We need to think of something to defeat the Fiends who are in the ruin and at the same time, we will plan how to deal with your problem." Shaun proposed while Gin nodded.
After destroying the three youths corpses, Gin and Shaun made their way back. In 10 minutes, they reached the area where the battle took place between Fiends and humans.
The humans already destroyed the Fiend corpses but the lingering stench of blood and heavy atmosphere encircling the area haven't weakened in the slightest.
Unlike before, not all the youths looked at Gin with anger but some still showed signs of hate and hostility. They just want to blame their weaknesses on Gin's head.
Gin didn't bother with these youths, he didn't have time to waste on them.
As soon as he arrived, he called Luna and asked for her help. Even though he wasn't familiar with Luna like Shaun, he knows he can trust her, considering her childish temper and character.
Hearing Gin's predicament, Luna was shocked. 'Didn't he just gone for 20 mins, how come he attracted such huge trouble?'
"Even though my sister is not easy to convince, If she knows you saved me, she will definitely help you." Luna spoke, sporting a stance with her nose held high as if saying, 'Now you know my true strength.'
Even though she thinks Gin is not a good person for making her cry before her friends, she knew when to repay the life-saving favor.
