"The principal of the Master Teacher Academy?"
Hong long!
Hearing that a human, not to mention a principal at that, had snuck into their territory and pretended to be one of their own, the faces of the Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King darkened. Their auras immediately burst forth like an eagle on the hunt, ready to strike at any moment.
They had already doubted the other party's identity from the very start. If the other party was really a master teacher, they would have killed him without any hesitation.
"Yes, I am President Zhang. They are preparing to deal with me as well. Do you believe me now? Why aren't you speaking about that matter? Are you planning to carry your secret to your grave? "
Ignoring the duo who were ready to make a move at any moment, Zhang Xuan turned to Lu Feng and said.
"That matter?"
Lu Feng was taken aback.
From the very start, that fellow had said that he would save them, but he hadn't said anything about it at all!
"Allow me to introduce him to you!"
Seeing the dumbfounded look on Lu Feng's face, Zhang Xuan turned to the Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King and smiled. "This is the acting principal of the Master Teacher Academy, Half Seven Star Master Teacher Lu Feng …"
"Acting principal?" The Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King glanced at one another and frowned.
"That's right, I am Lu Feng. If you want to kill me, just do it. You can dream on if you want to learn anything from me!" Lu Feng straightened his back and raised his head proudly.
"Why would the acting principal of the Master Teacher Academy be here?"
The Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King were perplexed.
"Why would I kill you? I'm going to save you. Didn't I tell you that I'm really your dean? Please believe me … "
Zhang Xuan said earnestly.
"Haha! Indeed, I can testify that he is your principal! "
"I can testify as well. We have been suspecting his identity for a while now, and we have already verified it …"
The Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King glanced at one another, and understanding what was going on, they burst into laughter.
They had long heard of the stubbornness of master teachers. Most likely, their tribesman was impersonating their principal to gain their trust so as to uncover more secrets.
The principal of the Master Teacher Academy?
How could the principal possibly look like that? How could he possess such pure Zhenqi of Slaughter?
You must be joking!
How could the principal of the Master Teacher Academy possibly come to the Subterranean Gallery? Wasn't that no different from courting death?
More importantly, Lu Feng, as the acting principal of the Teacher Academy, was a man of his own, to betray, to betray his own Zhang Xuan, he! He even deliberately revealed his identity to them?
It was obvious that he wanted to sow discord between them and create conflict.
You want to deceive us with such a petty trick? 'You're too immature! We're king tiers, and you want to trick us with such a small trick? What a joke!'
"Look, they're also testifying for me …" Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
No matter how he explained, the other party wouldn't believe him. Since that was the case, he might as well just admit to it.
This only made the other party even more confused, and then … they began to fill in the blanks.
It just so happened that Lu Feng's identity was extremely sensitive. All in all, it was more than enough for them to let their imaginations run wild.
From the looks of it, the effect was pretty good.
"Humph! You want me to believe you? Dream on!" Oblivious to the fact that he had been used to resolve the crisis, Lu Feng gritted his teeth furiously.
"Sigh, I've already stated my identity, but you just don't believe me. Why are you so stubborn …"
With a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan gestured helplessly to the two kings not too far away.
"In my opinion, there's no need for you to get close to him. You should just roast him over a fire and toss him into the ice cavern. Do it several times in a row, and I don't believe that he won't spill the beans!"
The Greenleaf King harrumphed coldly.
"Indeed. That bastard deserves to be punished severely. What backbone? In my eyes, those are all lies. I believe that he'll spill the beans obediently after a few days of torture!"
The Goldenleaf King nodded in agreement.
"Un. If there's really no other choice, I'll use the method that you mentioned …"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he waved his hand. "However, I still have other means that I can use at the moment. You should leave for now. "
"Alright!"
The Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King nodded before backing out of the room.
Jiya!
The door closed, leaving behind Zhang Xuan and the other master teachers.
"If you want to kill us, just do it! Don't even dream of prying our secrets out of us!"
"Indeed. In any case, we've already lived long enough. At most, we'll just die!"
"You want us master teachers to submit to you Otherworldly Demons? Dream on!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was going to interrogate them, the master teachers straightened their necks and declared proudly.
Master teachers could die, but they couldn't submit!
This was the principle that they held in their hearts, as well as their dignity.
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
It was understandable for the master teachers to do such a thing, but he was really here to save them!
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan sighed deeply and said, "I know that you don't believe me, but if you continue to remain here, there's only one outcome for you. You can either be killed or be interrogated. If you follow me, I'll bring you out of this place. As for whether I am Zhang Xuan or the principal of the Master Teacher Academy, we'll discuss that after we leave this place! "
Seeing the sincerity in Zhang Xuan's eyes, which was different from the ferocity of the Otherworldly Demons, the master teachers glanced at one another doubtfully.
"If I wanted to kill you, given your current state, who would be able to stop me? I'm already the principal of the Master Teacher Academy … What other secrets do you have that I would go through so much trouble for? "
Seeing that the resolve of the master teachers was wavering, Zhang Xuan continued.
"This …" The master teachers were rendered speechless. Even the hostile Lu Feng opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.
The other party was right. If he really wanted to kill them, there was no need for him to waste so many words. If he wanted to obtain information, he could have just interrogated them. Since it was neither of those, was he really going to save them?
Seeing that their resolve was wavering, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Flicking his wrist, he took out a token and said, "Even if you don't believe me, you should recognize this, right?"
Principal's Seal!
"This is a Perfect Principal's Seal! How could this be …" Upon seeing the token, Lu Feng was stunned.
As the stand-in principal of the Master Teacher Academy, he was well aware of the grades of the Principal's Seal. A Perfect Principal's Seal meant that it had received the acknowledgement of all of the teachers and students. This was something that had never happened before in the history of the Master Teacher Academy.
"What does a Perfect Principal's Seal mean?"
The others couldn't understand what was going on, so they quickly turned to Zhang Xuan.
"It means …" After a moment of hesitation, Lu Feng explained the situation.
"He has received the acknowledgement of all of the teachers and students of the Master Teacher Academy?"
"The fact that he possesses the Perfect Principal's Seal means that he is the principal of the Master Teacher Academy. If even the predecessors and the teachers and students believe in him, why wouldn't we?"
"Could he have killed Principal Zhang Xuan and snatched the token away?"
"That's impossible! The Principal's Seal is formed by the wills of all of the teachers and students. If one were to kill the principal, their wills would dissipate, and they might even suffer a backlash!"
…
After hearing the explanation, everyone quickly turned their gazes toward Zhang Xuan. Even though they still harbored great doubts about the other party's identity, they were no longer as resistant as before.
"Time waits for no one, and I don't have much time to explain. If you believe in me, don't resist, and I'll bring you out of here!"
Seeing that the hostility in the crowd had lessened, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "We only have one chance. Only by surviving will we be able to kill more Otherworldly Demons and protect mankind. Not only will dying valiantly be of no use to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, you might even be able to summon more Otherworldly Demons with your blood!"
"This …" Hearing those words, the faces of the crowd turned grim.
Zhang Xuan was right. They had heard the conversation earlier, and the reason why the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe hadn't killed them was because they wanted to make use of their sacrifice to break the seal and summon more powerful Otherworldly Demons.
If they couldn't escape, the outcome would surely be the same. Not only would they not be sacrificing their lives, they would be harming even more people.
"How do we escape? Tell us, we'll listen to you!"
One of the senior master teachers said.
"Even if you are lying to us, it's still better than remaining here. Speak!"
The other master teachers nodded in agreement.
"Un. What I want you to do is very simple. Don't resist, and I'll bring you into a folded space," Zhang Xuan said.
He had already thought of a way to escape beforehand. It was impossible for him to bring this bunch of old, weak, and sickly people away from the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
The only solution was to place them into the Myriad Anthive Nest and find a way to escape on his own.
"Alright!"
Hearing that Zhang Xuan was going to bring them into a folded space, a doubtful look appeared on the faces of the crowd, but they quickly nodded in agreement.
This was indeed the best solution.
"Alright, you can all enter now!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out the Myriad Anthive Nest and shrouded everyone in it with his consciousness.
Knowing the current situation, the crowd immediately relaxed, not daring to resist at all.
Hu!
With a light buzz, the thirty to forty master teachers in the room disappeared. They had already entered the Myriad Anthive Nest.
Keeping the Myriad Anthive Nest into his storage ring, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
These master teachers might be stubborn, but they were all doing it for the sake of humanity. They were worthy of respect, and he had to save them no matter what.
"How do I get out now?"
Since he had already placed everyone into the Myriad Anthive Nest, what he had to do now was figure out a way to escape.
Looking out of the window, he saw that the two Kings were indeed standing guard outside. Not only so, there were many formations set up around the area as well. As long as he couldn't explain himself, there was a good chance that he would be besieged.
"It was still possible for me to explain myself earlier, but now that I've taken everyone into the Myriad Anthive Nest, there's no way I can explain myself anymore. There's a good chance that I'll be ambushed the moment I get out!"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
With everyone gone, it was unlikely that the other party would believe him no matter how he tried to explain himself. The only thing he could do now was to escape, but … how?
"The only way is to continue using my soul!" Zhang Xuan made up his mind.
If he wanted to escape without anyone noticing, he would have to rely on his soul.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xuan sat down on the floor and drew his soul out of his body.
After which, he kept his physical body into his storage ring before sneaking his soul out of the Myriad Anthive Nest.
Just like what he had done back at the Cloudmist Ridge, he could only make use of the formless properties of his soul to escape discreetly.
As for whether he would succeed or not, he could only give it a try!
