"Soul Essences, you'll need a huge amount of Soul Essences. You have to control your strength at all costs, so I can bring you back to the military. The military will provide you with enough Soul Essences to prevent your soul from being devoured. The Demon Element is indeed a demon, since you've signed an agreement with a demon. The demon will give you the power of a demon, and then it will come and devour your soul, "Zhan Kong said to Mofan.
Even though Mofan had four Elements, the stronger the power he unleashed, the stronger the backlash would be.
The only way to protect his soul was to obtain a huge amount of Soul Essences.
Soul Essences were important to nurture his soul. If the demon that had given Mofan his power was devouring his young soul, a sufficient amount of Soul Essences would be able to offset the effects.
The amount of Soul Essences required was huge. Zhan Kong was unsure if the military would provide an unlimited amount of Soul Essences, as he had no idea how many Soul Essences he would need to protect Mofan's soul. However, Zhan Kong had to keep Mofan alive!
"Control yourself, I'll bring you back to the military …" Zhan Kong said.
"Houhou ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!!"
Mofan seemed to have lost his consciousness. He roared into the sky like a ferocious wolf.
Suddenly, he leapt into the air and dashed forward like an arrow, disappearing from Zhan Kong's sight.
Zhan Kong's expression shifted. He cast Wind Wings to chase after Mofan, but the air around him dissipated as soon as he gathered it. Zhan Kong finally realized that he was seriously injured. It was difficult for him to cast Wind Wings, which consumed a significant amount of energy.
"Mofan!" Zhan Kong yelled at the demon sprinting through Jinlin City.
The demon did not stop. It was sprinting in a certain direction. It felt like it would not take long for it to leave Jinlin City.
The problem was that if he were to aimlessly charge into the depths of the forest, what awaited him would only be his soul being sucked dry.
Zhan Kong stared at the demon disappearing into the distance. He did not know how to express the pain on his face.
As a matter of fact, after the Calamity of Bo City, Zhankong had been keeping an eye on Mofan, including asking Dean Xiao to take extra care of him.
Zhan Kong knew it was only a matter of time before Mofan's Double Innate Elements were exposed to the public. After learning about the terrifying experiment of the Demon Element, he had been keeping an eye on Lu Nian's military. As he expected, they had made their move.
However, Zhankong had underestimated Lu Nian's unscrupulous methods. He had actually forced a group of loyal subordinates to resign from their positions, and even did such a crazy thing.
Almost half of the students were dead. Even Mo Fan had disappeared due to the backlash. Zhan Kong slammed his fist on the ground furiously. Why didn't he prepare for it earlier!?
It was impossible to chase after him, as Zhan Kong did not have the strength to do so. He had already used up a lot of his Wind Energy after flying all the way here from another city. Furthermore, in the middle of nowhere, even with the Wind Wings, he might not be able to keep up with the demon Mofan's speed.
Rising to his feet, Zhan Kong had no choice but to head toward the city center, which was now beyond recognition.
Zhan Kong soon found the four students and Lu Nian's subordinates.
"If you dare to resist, I don't mind executing you right now," Zhan Kong stared at Jiang Yi and the others coldly.
Jiang Yi shook her head, as if she was ready to be captured. She said, "We won't resist, but can you tell us what happened to the Commander?"
"He's dead, torn apart by the demon you've turned into," Zhan Kong replied.
Jiang Yi and the soldiers were stunned. They were only willing to believe it when they saw Lu Nian's corpse.
In the end, they saw Lu Nian's corpse. His chest had been pierced through.
His face was contorted. It was likely that he was still in great pain when he died. It was just as Zhan Kong had said, his soul had been torn apart by the demon Mofan.
Jiang Yi and the soldiers burst into tears, but in Zhao Manyan, Bai Tingting, and Mui Nujiao's eyes, it was as if they had gotten their revenge. They truly hated the demon Lu Nian to the core. He had killed all the witnesses and killed them without any regard for morality or humanity. What had they, the students, done wrong? Was it all because of the demon Lu Nian's wild ambition?
"Where … where's Mofan? Is he injured? I can treat his wounds," Bai Tingting blurted out.
"We'll talk about it when we get back," Zhan Kong did not want to waste any more time.
"Please tell me," Mui Nujiao said firmly.
"I'll inform his family," Zhan Kong said softly, looking at Jiang Yi and the others with reddened eyes.
Zhan Kong was furious, too. He was furious at the murderers who were as crazy as Lu Nian. They had turned a genius who had a bright future into a demon.
It was just as he had said before.
Even if he didn't need it, with his Innate Double Elements, he would still be able to let the whole world know his name in time. Why bother?
No one was more optimistic about Mofan than Zhan Kong!
…
…
Lu Nian's corpse was brought back.
The students who had gone to Jinlin City for training returned to the Imperial College with the lowest survival rate in history. No one had expected this outcome.
The military had sent someone to collect Lu Nian's corpse, as well as Jiang Yi, who was willing to testify at the Martial Court.
The military that Lu Nian was in wanted to suppress the news of the scum of the military to prevent it from spreading, but the school would not let it go so easily.
According to Zhan Kong's request, the military and the school did not disclose any information about the Demon Element. They only told the public that it was some kind of evil experiment. Mofan's demonization was also kept a secret. The only people who knew about it were Zhan Kong, Dean Song He, Dean Xiao, Professor Qiu Yuhua, and the four companions that Mofan had saved.
Jiang Yi and the other officers who knew the truth were all executed. Jiang Yi had preserved the last trace of kindness in her. She made Mofan a hero who had sacrificed himself to save his companions, instead of a demon whose whereabouts were unknown.
…
…
The familiar chirping of birds echoed in her ears. It was the little creatures resting under the big parasol tree in the middle of the courtyard. They seemed to have grown up, and their voices were more mature.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the potted plant by the window. It seemed like the little maid had been watering it while she was away, and it had grown strong.
There was a familiar scent in the room. The smell of the quilt, the remnants of the fragrance, and the sachet beside the pillow …
"Wake up, wake up!"
As soon as Mu Ningxue regained some consciousness, she heard the little maid shouting outside.
She then heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs. Not long after, Mu Zhuoyun, whose face was so haggard that he looked a little old, burst into the room excitedly.
"You're awake, my good daughter, you're finally awake," Mu Zhuoyun said with great concern.
"Father …" Mu Ningxue's lips curled into a smile.
"Next time, I won't let you go on any training, never!" Mu Zhuoyun said.
Mu Ningxue slowly recalled what had happened before she fainted. There was a terrifying demon's face in her mind, and she had used all her strength to freeze them with an arrow.
Did she manage to escape?
