Chapter 965: Restricted

With such a wealth of knowledge in front of him, Sage wasted no time in picking up the first of the Jade Tablets and flipping through it. His consciousness zoomed through the information as quickly as it could, which was more than enough time for him to copy it all down into a Memory Sphere on the Inner World. While he was working, a few hours passed uneventfully, something which he assumed would continue on for the next few weeks or months it would require for him to copy down the entirety of the library. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed by a sudden loud sound and surge of energy.

He pulled his mind away from the Jade Tablet and made note of the title as he set it back on the shelf. At the same time he was using his Spiritual Sense to investigate the commotion going on around him and he felt a barrier blocking him off. There was a similar barrier around each of the library shelves, but there was now a many times more powerful one surrounding the library. The gate blocking the restricted section of the library was mostly physical, if anyone wanted to breach it, it would alert someone. On the other hand, this protection around the library itself was overwhelming. It felt as strong as the most powerful Sect Defending Arrays that Sage had run into in the past. Hed been examining the stones that made up this castle-like building when he first entered, but now he was getting exposed to their actual capabilities.

A few moments later, a powerful voice boomed through the building. It wasnt loud, or else such volume might burst the ear drums of weaker Cultivators, instead it was powerful because it carried a force of its own. The voice had a tinge of law energy to it, and Sage was curious about how such a technique worked. It seemed quite useful at impressing people while also giving out orders.

The library is now under restriction. Everyone is now required to return to the lobby, or you will be considered a conspirator.

Even if the powerful barrier hadnt been erected around the library, Sage would have still complied with the command. He had no desire to get on the bad side of the Clear Sky Academy, so he turned to head back down the stairs to the restricted section. He passed through the gate and down a few more flights of stairs. As he approached the central desk he saw not just the old librarian, but a total of nine other people. All but two of them were standing in front of the desk, even the librarian, and across from them was someone somewhat familiar to Sage.

Alright, bring them over. Ill go first.

These words were directed towards the teacher standing beside the Discipline Keeper. After speaking, the man with the club turned and sped off. He was wrapped in a layer of Qi, letting him move rapidly without disturbing the library. Sage was quite impressed with his speed and how close it came to his own without causing any of the damage to the ground like pure physical strength would. The teacher looked around the group to make sure they were all paying attention. He had a sour look on his face, You heard the Keeper. Follow me.

The group started to walk through the library and Sage felt the Discipline Keepers Spirit Sense enveloping them all like a blanket. While they walked he also got a chance to have a better look at the others in the group and he recognized far more of them than hed imagined. Of the nine, there was the teacher leading them and, of course, the librarian. He also saw Keeper Deng, who hed just left earlier, and the trio of golden haired students hed seen in the library. That was six. Only the Discipline Keeper and two others were completely unfamiliar to him. One was a dark haired student with heavy bags under her eyes, while the other was another teacher with a similar bag eyed look.

They turned a corner and in front of them they saw the Discipline Keeper standing behind the shape of a person laying face down upon the ground with their limbs askew. The three golden haired students gasped, almost in unison, while the rest of the group had varying looks of surprise upon their faces.

Ahh, so thats why he was watching us so carefully. Hes brought us to a crime scene and wanted to look for any unusual reactions.
