After handling the academy's affairs, the entire academy suddenly became lifeless. Too many people died, and countless people throughout the academy were still in terror.
No one expected that those elders who were usually "highly respected" had committed so many despicable acts.
Before Long Chen arrived, the First Branch looked like a smooth, beautiful, and vibrant apple, but after arriving, Long Chen mercilessly cut open the apple.
Countless disgusting parasites are laid before people, and beneath their glamorous exteriors lie endless evil.
Now that the crime had been punished, the strong figures of the First Academy felt an unusual weight because Long Chen's methods were too domineering and bloody, making them frightening.
But those young people were conquered by Long Chen's ruthless methods. It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying presence among their peers.
Young people don't think as much as the older generation of strong men; their thoughts are very simple. They are filled with awe and admiration for the strong, as well as longing and longing.
Everyone worships the strong, everyone wants to become a true powerhouse. But today, they realized that Long Chen's image matched the image they imagined as a peerless prodigy. Their admiration for Long Chen was far less than their fear.
The affairs here had reached a certain conclusion, but that didn't mean it was completely over, because there were still many matters to investigate afterward. Those who were killed had all undergone soul searches, so no one was wrongly killed.
But that doesn't mean no one escapes. If all the persecutors have been killed and no one reports them, it's easy to get away with it.
Long Chen directly assigned the elders from the main academy to continue the investigation, while the Dragon Blood warriors maintained stability at the academy to prevent anyone from escaping.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the Hall Master returned directly to his residence. Now that Bai Letian held the Great Seal, he could only grit his teeth and continue carrying out Long Chen's plan.
Long Chen then led Bai Shishi, Yu Qingxuan, and other captain-level experts like Yue Zifeng and Xia Chen, leaving together with Lu Chengkong. Inside the academy, there was a highly hidden teleportation array where one could directly enter the small world.
Back then, the First Academy had divided countless resources into different small worlds to preserve its strength. After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
When they arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion through the teleportation array, Long Chen, Bai Shishi, and Yu Qingxuan were utterly shocked—the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion was actually a massive city.
This small world was nothing but a city, nothing else. When Long Chen and the others arrived at the city gate, an old man was sitting on a chair, dozing against the city wall.
When he saw the old man, Long Chen's heart tightened. The old man's face was covered in fine wrinkles, and he looked extremely old. Yet on him, Long Chen sensed fluctuations of the imperial aura.
Although this fluctuation was weak, it was exceptionally solid. Long Chen couldn't help but be startled. This old man was at least a half-step Human Emperor, and most importantly, he could suppress the Human Emperor's energy to such a degree. His strength was definitely far greater than those two vice deans.
"Uncle Yun, wake up!" When he saw the old man dozing off, Lu Chengkong wasn't angry; instead, he called out cautiously.
The old man was awakened, groggily glanced at Lu Chengkong, said nothing, and directly took out a jade token from his pocket, tossed it to Lu Chengkong, smacked his lips, and continued sleeping against the wall.
Lu Chengkong seemed to have long been used to it. Holding the jade token, he led everyone toward the city gate, then placed the jade token above the main gate.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The jade token trembled, countless runes lit up on the gate, and the door slowly opened.
As the four entered the city, Lu Chengkong apologized and said, "Dean Long Chen, please don't be angry. Uncle Yun's Soul Dream Heart Sutra is cultivating when you sleep, not because he is being rude to you." "
Sleeping is cultivation, and there's such a technique?" Bai Shishi said in surprise, thinking this technique was just too good.
"Actually, it's nothing much. Isn't Aman just making a living and cultivating?" Long Chen smiled and said. Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan thought it made sense. Aman never cultivates; he always eats his fill and sleeps, and when he wakes up, his strength keeps growing rapidly.
Seeing that Long Chen wasn't angry, Lu Chengkong finally relaxed. Through interaction, he realized Long Chen was a very easy person to get along with.
Lu Chengkong relaxed completely. He smiled and said, "Although Uncle Yun's cultivation method is good, its progress is astonishingly slow."
When I was young, Uncle Yun's cultivation was already at the half-step Human Emperor level. After all these years, his cultivation hasn't increased much. Long
Chen and the others also laughed. This made sense. If a person's cultivation skyrockets just by sleeping, is there anywhere else in this world to talk to about it?
Passing through the city gate corridor, ahead were rows of tall buildings, each covering thousands or even tens of thousands of li. Though their sizes varied, their arrangements were orderly and without a hint of disorder.
"Divine Weapon Room"
"Forging Pavilion"—
Long Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. On the grand halls on both sides ahead, the names were written, making his heart race wildly. Especially in the Divine Weapon Room, he sensed a terrifying aura of slaughter.
When Guo Ran and Xia Chen arrived, their hearts couldn't help but race. These two places held a fatal temptation for them.
"It seems like there are peerless fierce soldiers in this Chen Military Room!" Long Chen pointed at Chen Bingshi, and Yue Zifeng nodded in agreement. The fierce aura was so terrifying that it could be clearly sensed even outside the hall.
"I've never entered this Divine Weapons Room. If Dean Long Chen is interested and in no hurry, we can take a look first." Luchengkong said.
"No rush, no rush. Thank you, Dean Chengkong." Long Chen hurriedly said.
Although Long Chen was eager to read the last two volumes of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra, since he already knew the scripture was here and couldn't escape, he wasn't so anxious.
"Crack, crack, crack... When
Lu Chengkong used the jade token to open the door to the Divine Weapons Chamber, the door creaked as a crack slowly opened. As soon as the crack opened, a fierce aura of slaughter swept over him.
Surged by that killing aura, everyone except Long Chen involuntarily took a step back, and Lu Chengkong was even far behind.
Clearly, Lu Chengkong, who had never experienced battlefield trials in his life, had cultivation at the Human Emperor level, but he could not withstand this terrifying aura of slaughter.
"Dean Chengkong, why don't you wait here for us a bit? We'll be out soon." Long Chen looked at Lu Chengkong and said.
"Thank you, Dean Longchen, for your understanding." The aura of slaughter made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Hearing Long Chen say this, Lu Chengkong immediately felt a huge sense of relief.
Long Chen nodded. Seeing that the door was only slightly open, he reached out to push it open. The moment the door was pushed open, a fierce aura shot toward them.
