Thus, the new Dean of the Hunter's House was born.
In actuality, at this point, the Sorcerers did not have any other choice.
Under normal circumstances, in order to become the Dean of an organization like the Hunter's House, apart from being powerful, one had to have great prestige and knowledge.
However, this was not an ordinary time.
Putting aside Chen Heng's strength, the threat of the Heart-Devouring Devil was right in front of them.
To these Sorcerers, they had been personally saved by Chen Heng, so they had to repay him.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Heng had changed too much.
After receiving the Faith Mark, just by standing there, Chen Heng could make people feel a sense of trust in him, and they could not ignore his existence.
This greatly increased the impression Sorcerers had of him.
After becoming the new Dean of the Hunter's House, Chen Heng began to give out orders.
What surprised the other Sorcerers was that Chen Heng did not immediately go to deal with the Heart-Devouring Devil. Instead, he discussed with Ariel and the others and decided to temporarily leave the Hemu region.
"Even if we get rid of the Heart-Devouring Devil now, it will not bring us any benefits."
Chen Heng said to Ariel and the other Sorcerers, "We don't have enough people; even if we take over those places, what can we do?
We don't even have enough people to run things. "
There was a reason why Sorcerer organizations would recruit so many students.
For Sorcerers, there were many things that they needed Apprentices to take care of. Whether it was growing magic plants, mining magic stones, or refining magic materials, they all needed Apprentices to do it.
This was why many Sorcerer academies would recruit Apprentices; they needed Apprentices to help them collect resources and take care of the elemental gardens and other resource areas.
However, the Hunter's House did not have such conditions.
After that massive battle, including Chen Heng and the other true Sorcerers, the Hunter's House had less than 50 Sorcerers.
With just this amount of people, they would not even be able to take care of the Hunter's House's resource areas, let alone other places.
Even if Chen Heng defeated the Heart-Devouring Devil and took it down, he would not be able to reap the greatest benefits.
At the very least, he would not be able to devour the resource areas that the Heart-Devouring Devil had.
These were the main reasons why many wizard organizations were waging war against each other.
Since he couldn't swallow these things immediately, he might as well wait.
"If we act now, we're not letting them go. We're just letting them continue to fight here and make the situation even more chaotic."
Looking at everyone present, Chen Heng said softly, "Only after experiencing the Heart-Devouring Demon's rampage and the pain of being controlled by it will these people feel grateful to us for saving them and submit to us.
"Right now, even if we forcefully suppress them, they will still retain their feelings towards their original organization and their hatred towards us."
"We're not that Heart Devourer. We don't have spells that can control people's minds."
Since they were destined to be unable to obtain the greatest victory, a temporary retreat was not a bad idea.
Rather than making a move now and becoming the target of everyone's hatred, it was better to let the Heart Devourer Demon stir up the situation first and attract everyone's hatred and attention.
In the future, after Chen Heng and the others gathered enough strength, they would act as saviors and save that person from the Heart Devourer Demon.
When that time came, as the victors, they would be able to obtain the gratitude of those who had been controlled, as well as the legacy left behind by the Heart Devourer Demon.
Hearing Chen Heng's words, all of the Sorcerers present nodded in agreement.
Ariel expressed her approval towards Chen Heng's actions.
It was only natural that he wanted to display his power. This was a very normal way of doing things.
However, even though they had enough power to suppress everything, they were still able to calmly analyze and deal with everything rationally. This was the rationality that a Sorcerer should have.
From how she saw it, Chen Heng's method was not as straightforward as taking revenge, but it was definitely the safest method.
While everyone's attention was attracted by the Heart Devourer Demon, they only needed to accumulate power in the dark. When the time was right, they would take the legacy left behind by the Heart Devourer Demon.
To the Sorcerers present, this was undoubtedly the safest choice.
After confirming their plan, they began to move.
The Apprentices within the Hunter's House were notified that those who wanted to stay could do so, and those who did not want to leave with them could also leave.
In the end, only a few of the remaining Apprentices left, but most chose to stay.
These days, it was not easy to be a nomadic Sorcerer. Not only did they lack legacies, but they also lacked stable magic spell models and other resources.
These things were the main reason why most Sorcerers wanted to join a Sorcerer organization.
For these things, as well as their past relationships, most Sorcerers chose to stay.
Apart from these Magi, Ariel and the other Magi also made use of their connections to contact some acolytes from the past and recruit some new people.
Even though they had decided to leave, they did not move too quickly.
Mortals moving was already quite troublesome, and moving an academy was even more so not so simple.
During this period of time, Ariel and the others had been busy taking away all the valuable things within the Hunter's House.
Before, even though the Heart Devourer Demon had controlled the Hunter's House, because he had Ariel and the others under his control, he had not looted the entire Hunter's House.
As such, all the valuable things within the Hunter's House were still there.
There were many of these things. After all, the Hunter's House had been passed down for a long time, and many things had been left behind over time.
This time, most of these things would be taken away.
Fortunately, the Heart Devourer Demon seemed to be very confident in his control and did not often check on the situation within the Hunter's House. He only had Ariel and the others report to him regularly.
However, the Hemu region was very big, and because of the war, there were many Sorcerers stationed everywhere. As such, the reporting period was quite long, and it would take quite a long time.
This also gave them enough time to move a lot of things away.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, two months had passed.
By this time, all the preparations had been completed.
Outside the familiar gates of the Hunter's House, Chen Heng and the others stood there.
Ariel stood in front of the gates, with Charlie and the others beside her.
She looked at the familiar door in front of her and the scenery around her that was almost engraved in her memory. She couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Let's go."
Next to him, Charlie softly said, "We'll come back sooner or later."
When that time comes, everything will be different. "
"That's right …"
Hearing Charlie's words, Ariel nodded with a resolute expression, "Everything will be different."
She spoke softly, as if she was thinking of the beautiful future, her eyes continuously lighting up.
Within the crowd, there were many people like Ariel.
In the end, people had emotions, and after staying in one place for a long time, they would feel reluctant to leave.
Even though Sorcerers were very rational, they were still people and could not avoid such things.
In response, Chen Heng's expression was calm and understood.
He waited there for a moment until Ariel and the others collected their emotions and walked forward again. Only then did he nod and lead the group of people to continue walking forward.
After leaving the Hunter's House, they first went to Helo City and bought many things before leaving this region.
At the port, the ship that was ready to leave was already waiting.
Compared to normal ships that were used to pick up Apprentices, this ship was very big.
There were simply too many things that needed to be taken away, so Ariel and the others had to spend a large amount of money to hire even bigger ships.
As time passed, the ship slowly advanced.
In the distance, the port gradually became smaller and smaller before disappearing.
Seeing this, the Sorcerers' expressions were both calm and complicated.
At that moment, they knew that they were truly going to leave.
Charlie let out a soft sigh, then silently turned around and entered the cabin.
Even though they had left the Hemu region and come to the ship, their mission was not light at all.
According to the plan, they would head to Chen Heng's hometown, the Dolan region, and establish a new base there. They would then use that place to recruit Apprentices and slowly accumulate strength.
In fact, according to Chen Heng's plans, some of them would have the opportunity to enter the Faith World that Chen Heng had gone to before and establish a new academy in that world.
Many Sorcerers were very interested in this matter.
After hearing about Chen Heng's deeds and understanding the existence of the Faith World, they could not help but feel a great sense of curiosity towards that world.
Researching unknown powers and phenomena was the source of Sorcerers' power.
It was a brand new world that had never been explored before. The demonic creatures and powerful magical beasts that existed in it were extremely attractive to them.
As such, going to that new world was something that many Sorcerers were looking forward to.
Of course, apart from this, going to that new world also meant something else.
According to what Chen Heng had said before, after obtaining the Faith Mark, he could freely enter and leave that world.
If that was the case, if the academy could establish a base in that world, it would be equivalent to leaving a new path of retreat for the academy. No matter what happened in the future, the new academy would not encounter any danger.
Even if everything in the outside world was gone, he could still hide in that world and preserve his strength.
To the Sorcerers present, this was a very good idea.
At the very least, Ariel was very interested in this.
As such, during this period of time, taking advantage of the fact that many official Sorcerers were gathered together, they often gathered together to discuss their future plans and plans.
Chen Heng would occasionally participate in these discussions, but most of the time, he stayed in his room and meditated.
One day, while he was meditating, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside his room, sounds could be heard, which seemed to be the shouts of the Apprentices.
Moreover, Chen Heng could clearly sense waves of malicious intent coming from even further away.
As such, he got up and walked out of his room.
Outside, the sea breeze brought with it a fishy smell as it blew past his body.
In the sea outside, a figure was rolling and bobbing up and down.
The figures of the Sea Race appeared one after another. They had bloodthirsty eyes and ferocious expressions as they stared at the ship.
Seeing this, Chen Heng could not help but chuckle, not knowing what to say.
In the past, it was because of the Merfolk that he had been in danger, and in the end, he had entered the Faith Mark World, becoming like this.
In the blink of an eye, many years had passed, and Chen Heng had almost forgotten about these fellows. Now, these Merfolk had taken the initiative to appear in Chen Heng's field of vision and were so arrogant.
Chen Heng looked up.
These Merfolk had hidden themselves very well, and he could sense that they were filled with malicious intent.
He didn't know if this group of Sea Clan in front of him was the same as the group of Sea Clan that attacked his ship.
That was most likely the case.
After all, the Merfolk had a strong sense of territory, and it was impossible for a second Merfolk to appear in one Merfolk tribe's territory.
In that case, were these the Merfolk who had attacked Chen Heng in the past?
The sea breeze continued to blow.
On the deck, Sorcerers walked out and looked at the Merfolk below with interest.
After a short moment of surprise and yelling, everyone calmed down.
No one was afraid.
Putting aside the true Sorcerers like Charlie and Ariel, even the ordinary Apprentices had at least seven or eight Rank 3 Apprentices and even more Rank 2 Apprentices.
Even if the official Sorcerers did not act, just relying on the Apprentices would be enough to easily suppress the Merfolk.
Compared to the ship that Chen Heng had been on back then, the strength of these people was completely different.
With such strength, he naturally had nothing to be afraid of when he looked at the Sea Race, who were mostly ordinary creatures.
"Ed, you're here."
On the deck, Charlie looked at the Merfolk below with interest as he smiled and said, "These Merfolk should be the ones who attacked you back then, right?"
"Most likely."
Ariel nodded, "The Merfolk all have a strong sense of territory and normally will not relocate, nor will they allow other Merfolk tribes to enter their territory.
"These Merfolk are most likely the ones who attacked Ed a few years ago."
"It seems that thanks to the war, these Merfolk have been living quite well over the past few years."
A Sorcerer by the side gave a bloodthirsty smile, "But since they dared to offend our Dean …"
"That's good, let's take care of them …"
Speaking to there, the Sorcerers all gave slight smiles.
As they sailed, even though there were other Sorcerers around them that they could discuss and research with, all they saw was seawater, so they naturally felt that it was quite boring.
Now that these Merfolk had come, they could add some fun to their boring journey.
At the same time, they could also take revenge for Chen Heng and curry favor with their new Dean.
As such, everyone, including the true Sorcerers, rubbed their fists and glared at the Merfolk below.
Even now, the Merfolk did not know what was going to happen.
Following this, a bloody scene unfolded.
Soon, the surface of the sea was dyed red with blood.
Facing the attacks of so many true Sorcerers, the Merfolk were unable to resist at all, and they felt as if they were stepping on an iron plate.
In just a few moments, the Merfolk were all slaughtered. Even the Merfolk Priest, who was equivalent to a Third Rank Apprentice, was captured by Charlie and turned into a specimen.
According to him, Merfolk Priests who could awaken their bloodlines were incredibly precious materials, and if they were properly made, they would be able to create an excellent magic artifact.
The attack of the Sea Race, which was considered a crisis for others, was easily passed.
On the ship, many people harvested some corpses of the Sea Race and left in satisfaction.
Chen Heng also obtained some corpses.
Apart from the Merfolk Priest, who was equivalent to a Third Rank Apprentice, he obtained most of the other Merfolk nobles' corpses.
"After a few years, I've achieved my goal."
Within the simple laboratory, Chen Heng casually dealt with the Merfolk corpses and extracted their bloodline essence energy. He inwardly shook his head and thought to himself.
A few years ago, when he had first seen these Merfolk, he had wanted to try devouring their bloodline essence energy.
It was just that it was too dangerous back then, so he did not have the chance.
Who would have thought that after a few years, he would have the chance to try again.
After dealing with the Merfolk corpses, Chen Heng directly used the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour their bloodline essence energy.
After a few years, the Heaven Devouring Scripture from the Azure Heaven Realm had once again been perfected by Chen Heng, and its efficiency had increased.
Before, it would have taken him a few days to completely absorb and digest the essence energy, but now, it only took him half a day to completely digest it.
Of course, the reason for these changes was also because of his own strength.
