"Six to seven days? That's not too far! "Zhang Xuan nodded.
As swift as the Great Violetwing Beast was, a round trip of six to seven days would probably take it less than seven days to reach the borders of Hongyuan Empire. In other words, it wasn't too far away.
Lozosy chuckled. "How about it? Are you interested in traveling with me?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Putting aside the fact that he could travel with her, just the fact that Kong Shi was on the Saint Ascension Platform was something that no master teacher could turn down.
If he could take a look, he would surely do so.
After confirming the matter, Zhang Xuan asked, "When do we set off?"
"If it's convenient for you, we can set off right now," Lozosy replied.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Without the Grand Intermittence Grass, it would be impossible for him to forge the Grand Intermittence Pill. On the other hand, Wei Ruyan had the nourishment of the Ten-leafed Flower and the Earth Vein Spirit Essence, so her life was in no danger at all.
After instructing Sun Qiang and the others to take care of the crowd and the residence, he and Lozosy leaped onto the back of the Great Violetwing Beast and flew toward the Saint Ascension Platform.
…
While Zhang Xuan was leaving Hongyuan City, Dong Xin finally found her teacher, the head of the Formation Master School, Chen Chengxun.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Chengxun was perplexed to see the student whom he was most proud of in such a hurry, devoid of his usual composure and coldness.
Dong Xin clenched her jaws and said, "I have an extremely important matter … I hope that teacher can bring me to meet School Head Lu Feng!"
"Meet School Head Lu Feng? What is it for you to go through so much trouble? "Chen Chengxun frowned.
If she were to meet School Head Lu Feng, the matter would be brought to the attention of the entire Master Teacher Academy.
"It concerns the safety of the Master Teacher Academy … as well as Senior Byzantium Helios and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!" Dong Xin said.
"Byzantium Helios?"
Chen Chengxun abruptly stood up in disbelief. "You have news of it?"
"Yes!" Dong Xin nodded.
"Alright, this is indeed an important matter. Follow me, I'll bring you to Lu Feng …"
Not daring to act on his own, Chen Chengxun led his proud student toward the Apothecary School.
Not too long later, they arrived at Lu Feng's residence.
The two school heads sat in the room and sealed off the surroundings before turning their gazes to the young lady before them.
"Feel free to speak your mind!" School Head Lu said with a glint in his eyes.
Mu shi had once said that the person who found the Byzantium Helios Beast would be the next principal of the Master Teacher Academy. At the moment, Zhang Xuan was unable to punish the villain, Zhang Xuan, for he didn't have the authority to do so. However, if he were to find the other party...
Be it Mo Zhu or Zhao Bingxu, none of them would dare to refute him.
Dong Xin gritted her teeth and said, "It's like this … I met Senior Byzantium Helios today!"
"You saw it? Where is it? Is it safe? "
Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun glanced at one another, and their eyes lit up.
Since he had seen her today, it meant that she was in Hongyuan City. There was a chance to save her.
"It … is in Zhang Xuan's residence outside the Master Teacher Academy," Dong Xin said.
"Zhang Xuan's residence? Why would Senior Byzantium Helios be there? "Lu Feng was taken aback.
Zhang Xuan's residence was given to him by King Huai, so he knew that it was extremely luxurious. Senior Byzantium Helios had disappeared eight days ago, so why would he suddenly appear here?
"It's like this … I happened to enter the residence and found Senior Byzantium Helios trapped in a formation. I tried to escape, but I was unable to do so …"
Without hiding anything, Dong Xin revealed everything that she had seen in Zhang Xuan's residence.
As for the puppets, they had been hiding too far away, so Lu Feng didn't get a good look at them.
"You said that … Zhang Xuan led twenty Otherworldly Demons to surround Senior Byzantium Helios? From the looks of it … he is the leader of the Otherworldly Demons? "
Lu Feng's face darkened, and he abruptly stood up.
This news was simply too shocking.
Even someone of his caliber found it hard to believe.
"Is your news true?" Chen Chengxun stared at Dong Xin intently.
Controlling dozens of Otherworldly Demons, pummeling the Byzantium Helios Beast, and emanating an aura of slaughter … All of these pointed to the possibility that Zhang Xuan was a spy of mankind, or perhaps even … an Otherworldly Demon!
"I am willing to swear on my identity as a master teacher that everything I have said is true. If there is any falsehood in my words, I am willing to revoke my master teacher license …"
Dong Xin raised her hand with a grim expression.
Swearing on one's identity as a master teacher was the heaviest oath one could make. Even if Mingshi Tang didn't pursue the matter, one's conviction would still be damaged, and it would be difficult for one to advance one's Soul Depth.
"This …"
Hearing her swear, Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun glanced at one another, and their expressions grew grimmer and grimmer.
A moment later, as if coming to a realization, School Head Lu Feng exclaimed in realization, "It's no wonder that fellow is able to master so many supporting occupations despite only being in his twenties. So that's how it is, that's how it is!"
Noticing the confusion in the duo's eyes, School Head Lu clenched his fists tightly and continued, "The lifespan of Otherworldly Demons is much longer than that of humans. Even though that fellow looks to be in his twenties, he is likely an ancient monster who has lived for countless years! Otherwise, how could he possibly have mastered smithing, apothecary, physician, terpsichore, and other occupations to such a high level? "
"This …" Chen Chengxun hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Indeed! As soon as he arrived, he wreaked havoc in the academy and bewitched all of the students. I had thought that something was amiss, but who could have thought that he would have such an identity! "
There were simply too many inconceivable things about Zhang Xuan. Even though he had comprehended the Eye of Insight, he was still unable to make sense of it. If he was an Otherworldly Demon, that would be much easier to explain.
"The Otherworldly Demons have wreaked havoc on mankind. As a master teacher, it is our duty to eliminate them …"
A glint flashed across School Head Lu's eyes as he gritted his teeth tightly.
The hatred between the Otherworldly Demons and mankind had already seeped deep into their bones. Since that fellow was an Otherworldly Demon, there was only one outcome for him … He had to die!
"Indeed. It is our duty to kill the spy of mankind!"
Chen Chengxun replied. However, a moment later, a deep frown appeared on his forehead. "However, the other party has already won the trust of School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and the others. If we were to make a move on him without any evidence, I fear that it might cause unnecessary conflict!"
"How foolish of them!"
School Head Lu harrumphed coldly. With overwhelming confidence, he said, "I have long seen through that fellow's disguise, but they simply refused to believe me. Let's see what else they can say now! Since that's the case, let's find Mu shi right now and explain the matter to him. After which, we'll gather the Ten Great Master Teachers and Zhang Xuan and expose the Otherworldly Demons before them … Everyone has the right to punish the Otherworldly Demons … "
"Indeed. With Mu shi presiding over the matter, we can expose the Otherworldly Demons right before their faces!"
Chen Chengxun nodded.
"Un!"
Lu Feng nodded in satisfaction. Turning to the young lady before him, he said, "Your name is Dong Xin, right? You have done well. When you meet Mu shi later, make sure to tell him what you saw … I know that you have a supporting occupation in pill forging as well. Even though your talent isn't as high as that of formations, it's still not too bad. As long as you do this well, I can accept you as my direct disciple and impart pill forging to you! "
Dong Xin's eyes lit up as she hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed. "Student pays respect to teacher!"
Once the other party became the principal of the Master Teacher Academy, she would be his direct disciple. On top of that, as the direct disciple of two school heads, it would only be a matter of time before the Dong Xin Faction became the number one faction in the Master Teacher Academy!
Hahaha!
Hu Yaoyao, Long Cangyue, and Xue Zhenyang, what do you have to compete with me?
As for Zhang Xuan … as an Otherworldly Demon, if his identity as an Otherworldly Demon was exposed, he would be doomed.
"Un. I will look for Mu shi now …"
Nodding, School Head Lu was just about to leave when he suddenly halted. "Wait a moment! Zhang Xuan has a close relationship with Luo shi. If we were to look for Mu shi now, news might spread. I fear that that fellow might make preparations in advance. Once he escapes, it will be difficult to capture him again! "
The fact that the other party was able to conceal his aura and disguise himself as a master teacher meant that he was either a human spy or an Otherworldly Demon King.
If such an expert were to escape in advance, putting aside School Head Lu, even if Conferred Empire Mingshi Tang were to make a move, he might not necessarily be able to capture him.
He had to be careful.
"Indeed!" Chen Chengxun nodded in agreement.
While the possibility of that happening wasn't high, it was still better to take precautions.
"School Head Chen, I want you to find out where Zhang Xuan is and have someone keep an eye on him. Make sure that he doesn't escape … Once we are confident that we can find him, report the matter to Mu shi and have him deal with it!"
School Head Lu said after a moment of contemplation.
Even though he wanted nothing more than to capture that fellow and kill him on the spot, as a 6-star pinnacle master teacher, he was still able to maintain his composure.
"Alright!" School Head Chen nodded before leaving the room. Not too long later, he returned with two elders dispatched to keep an eye on Zhang Xuan.
An hour later, one of the elders returned and reported, "School Head Chen, School Head Lu, Zhang Xuan … isn't in his residence or Hongyuan City. At noon, he left with Luo shi on an aerial spirit beast …"
"He left?" The trio was stunned.
"That's right. He left two hours ago, but he didn't go into the details of where he went. As such, we were unable to find him …"
The elder replied.
They had gone to Zhang Xuan's residence, and with their strength, they were able to confirm that Zhang Xuan wasn't in the residence. Thus, it wasn't too difficult for them to find out that the duo had left.
Just that, even Sun Qiang had no idea where they had gone, needless to say, they had no idea.
"He left two hours ago?"
School Head Chen's complexion turned awful.
Two hours on an aerial spirit beast should have covered at least several thousand li. It was impossible to catch up to them.
Turning to the elder, School Head Chen asked, "Are his students still around?"
"Yes, they are!" The elder nodded. "Based on the news, he left under Luo shi's invitation."
"That's good. He probably went out to do something. As long as his students are still around, it means that the news hasn't leaked out. Keep an eye on him and report to me as soon as he returns!"
Flinging his sleeves, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, exuding the aura of a stand-in principal.
"Yes!" The elder nodded before turning around and leaving.
Chen Chengxun couldn't help but ask, "If he isn't around, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Just wait! Once he returns, we'll call for an Assembly of the Ten Principals and expose his true colors before Mu shi! "Lu Feng sneered coldly as killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Who asked you to be arrogant, who asked you to not give me face, who asked you to bring the Apothecary School to its limits …
Zhang Xuan, your good days are coming to an end!
Let's see how I, Lu Feng, will deal with you!
