Chapter 831: Zhang Xuan, Just Watch Me Kill You!

"Six or seven days? That's not far!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

Although the Purple-Winged Skybear was extremely fast, a round trip of six or seven days probably wouldn't even reach the edge of the Hongyuan Empire. So it was indeed not far.

Luo Ruoxi smiled. "How about it? Interested in coming with me?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

Not to mention being able to go with her, just the fact that it was Kong Shi's Sage Ascension Platform was something no master teacher could refuse.

If he had the chance to go and see it, he would never decline.

"When do we set off?" Having confirmed, Zhang Xuan asked.

"If it's convenient, we can leave now..." Luo Ruoxi said.

"Good!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The Intermittent Grass hadn't been delivered, so the Intermittent Pill couldn't be refined. With the Ten-Leaf Flower and Earth Vein Spiritual Liquid nourishing her, Wei Ruyan's life was in no danger. Five or six days were nothing.

He instructed Sun Qiang and the others to take care of everyone and the courtyard, then stepped onto the Skybear's back with Luo Ruoxi and flew straight toward the Sage Ascension Platform.

...

As Zhang Xuan left Hongyuan City, Dong Xin finally found her teacher, the dean of the Array Masters Academy, Chen Chengxun.

"What is it?"

Seeing his most outstanding student in a flustered state, lacking her usual composure and aloofness, Chen Chengxun was full of doubt.

"Student has a matter of great importance... I hope Teacher can take me to see Dean Lu Feng!" Dong Xin gritted her silver teeth and said.

"See Lu Feng? What is it that requires such trouble?" Chen Chengxun frowned.

Going to see Dean Lu Feng meant elevating the matter to the entire Master Teacher Academy. What could be so serious as to mobilize such a force?

"It concerns the safety of the Master Teacher Academy... and Senior Purple Yang Beast and the Otherworldly Spirit Tribe!" Dong Xin said.

"Purple Yang Beast?"

Chen Chengxun suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You have news of it?"

"Yes!" Dong Xin nodded.

"Good, this is indeed a big matter. Come with me; I'll take you to see Lu Feng..."

Not daring to act on his own, Chen Chengxun led his prized student and strode toward the Alchemist Academy.

Before long, they arrived at Lu Feng's residence.

The two deans sat in the room, sealed off the surroundings, and then looked at the girl before them.

"Speak freely, whatever it is!" Dean Lu Feng's eyes were piercing.

Mu Shi had once said that whoever found the Purple Yang Beast would be the true dean. He couldn't punish that villain Zhang Xuan now because he lacked the authority. Once found... no one else could utter a word of nonsense.

Not Mi Zhu, not Zhao Bingshu—none of them would dare to refute.

"It's like this... Today, I saw Senior Purple Yang Beast!" Dong Xin gritted her teeth and said.

"You saw it? Where is it? Is it safe?"

Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up as they looked over.

Seeing it today meant it was in Hongyuan City, giving them a chance to rescue it.

"It... is in the mansion outside Zhang Xuan's academy." Dong Xin said.

"Zhang Xuan's mansion? How could Senior Purple Yang Beast be there?" Lu Feng was startled.

That fellow's mansion was a gift from the Prince of Huai, known to be very luxurious. How could Senior Purple Yang Beast, missing for seven or eight days, appear there?

"It's like this... I accidentally went to that mansion and found Senior Purple Yang Beast trapped in a formation, trying to escape but unable to..."

Dong Xin concealed nothing and recounted everything she had seen at Zhang Xuan's mansion.

As for the puppets, they were too far away for her to see clearly, so she mistook them for real Otherworldly Spirit Tribe members.

"You say... Zhang Xuan led twenty Otherworldly Spirit Tribe members to besiege Senior Purple Yang Beast? It seems... he is the leader of these Otherworldly Spirit Tribe members?"

His face darkening, Lu Feng suddenly stood up.

This news was too shocking.

Even someone with his temperament found it hard to believe.

"Is this news true?" Chen Chengxun also stared intently.

Controlling dozens of Otherworldly Spirit Tribe members, beating the Purple Yang Beast, releasing killing intent... All of this indicated that this Zhang Xuan was very likely a human spy, or even... an Otherworldly Spirit Tribe member!

"Student is willing to swear by the identity of a master teacher. Every word is true. If there is a single falsehood, I willingly forfeit my master teacher qualification..."

Raising her hand, Dong Xin's expression was solemn.

Swearing in the name of a master teacher was the heaviest oath. If wrong, even if the Master Teacher Pavilion didn't pursue it, her conviction would be damaged, and her mental state would find it hard to progress.

"This..."

Seeing her swear, Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun exchanged glances, their expressions growing increasingly grave.

After a moment, Dean Lu Feng, as if having realized something, suddenly understood: "No wonder! This fellow, around twenty years old, can master so many supplementary professions, even surpassing us deans... So that's it, so that's it!"

Seeing that the other two didn't understand, he clenched his fists and continued: "The Otherworldly Spirit Tribe lives much longer than humans. This fellow looks twenty, but he's probably an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years! Otherwise, how could he have learned professions like artifact forging, alchemy, medicine, and Jinghong to such a level?"

"This..." Chen Chengxun hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help nodding: "Indeed! He caused chaos in the entire academy as soon as he arrived, bewitching all the students. I thought it was abnormal before, but if he has this identity, it's easy to explain."

This Zhang Xuan had too many incredible aspects. Even understanding the Eye of Insight couldn't explain it. If he were an Otherworldly Spirit Tribe member, it would be easy to explain.

"The Otherworldly Spirit Tribe brings disaster to humanity. As master teachers, we must kill them on sight..."

A flash of cold light in his eyes, Dean Lu Feng ground his teeth.

The hatred between the Otherworldly Spirit Tribe and humanity was bone-deep and unchangeable. Since this fellow was an Otherworldly Spirit Tribe member, there was only one outcome... He must die!

"Indeed, killing human spies is our bounden duty!"

Chen Chengxun agreed, then frowned: "However, he has already gained the trust of Dean Mi, Dean Zhao, and others. Without evidence, acting directly might cause unnecessary conflict!"

"They are muddled!"

Dean Lu Feng snorted coldly, exuding strong confidence: "I saw long ago that this fellow was no good, but they wouldn't believe it. Now let's see what they have to say! Here's what we'll do: we'll go find Mu Shi now, tell him the details, then summon the Ten Great Elders and that Zhang Xuan, expose him face to face... Otherworldly Spirit Tribe members are to be killed by all..."

"Right, with Mu Shi presiding, exposing him face to face, even if they want to say something, they won't be able to!"

Chen Chengxun nodded.

"Mm."

Nodding, Lu Feng turned to the girl nearby with satisfaction: "You're Dong Xin, right? Well done. Later, when you see Mu Shi, you'll need to repeat what you saw... I know you also have alchemy as a supplementary skill. Your talent may not match your array talent, but it's still decent. If you do this well, I can take you as a personal disciple and teach you alchemy exclusively!"

"Student greets Teacher!" Eyes lighting up, Dong Xin quickly bowed.

Once he became dean, she would be his student. Moreover, as a personal disciple of two deans, Dong Xin would become the top student in the academy in no time!

Haha!

Hu Yaoyao, Long Cangyue, Xue Zhenyang—how could they compete with her?

As for Zhang Xuan... as an Otherworldly Spirit Tribe member, once his identity was exposed, he would be completely finished, not even worth mentioning.

"Mm, I'll go find Mu Shi now..."

Nodding, Dean Lu Feng was about to move when he suddenly stopped: "Not so fast! This Zhang Xuan has a good relationship with Teacher Luo. If we go to Mu Shi now and news leaks, I'm afraid this fellow might prepare in advance. If he escapes, it will be hard to catch him!"

Being able to conceal his aura and disguise himself as a master teacher indicated that he was either a human spy or a king among the Otherworldly Spirit Tribe.

If such a strong person learned the news and fled, not even he, nor even the Master Teacher Pavilion of a titled empire, could necessarily catch him.

Caution was necessary.

"Indeed!" Chen Chengxun also nodded.

Although this possibility was small, precautions were still needed.

"Dean Chen, first find out where that Zhang Xuan is, send someone to monitor him, and don't let him escape... Once we have full certainty, then report to Mu Shi and let him decide!"

After thinking, Dean Lu Feng said.

Although he wished he could catch and kill this fellow immediately, as a six-star upper-class master teacher, he could still remain calm.

"Good!" Dean Chen responded, turned, and walked out. Before long, he returned, having sent two elders to monitor that Zhang Xuan.

Half an hour later, one of the figures came back to report: "Dean Chen, Dean Lu, Zhang Xuan... is not in the mansion, nor in Hongyuan City. At noon, he left with Teacher Luo on a flying spirit beast..."

"Left?" The three were stunned.

"Yes, he left an hour ago. Where he went, he didn't specify, nor did he leave any instructions. There's no way to trace him..."

The figure said.

They had gone to Zhang Xuan's mansion and, using their strength, could easily confirm that Zhang Xuan was not there. It wasn't hard to find out that the two had left.

But where they went, even Sun Qiang didn't know, let alone them.

"Left an hour ago?"

His face turned ugly.

A spirit beast flying for an hour would cover at least several thousand kilometers. They could no longer catch up.

"Are his students still here?" He turned to look.

"They are all here!" The figure nodded. "And according to information, he left at Teacher Luo's invitation."

"That's good. He probably went to do something. As long as these students are still here, the news hasn't leaked. Keep watch, and report immediately once he returns!"

Flicking his sleeve, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, exuding the authority and decisiveness of an acting dean.

"Yes!" The figure nodded and left.

"He's not here. What do we do?" Chen Chengxun couldn't help asking.

"What do we do? Wait! Once he returns, convene a meeting of the Ten Deans, and in front of Mu Shi, expose his true face!" His gaze turning cold, Lu Feng sneered, killing intent boiling in his eyes.

Let you be arrogant, let you not show me face, let you make the Alchemist Academy nearly unsustainable...

Zhang Xuan, your good days are over!

Just watch me, Lu Feng, kill you!
