The main gate closed, revealing a large hall with only Long Chen, the Hall Master, Bai Letian, and Lu Chengkong.
Although Lu Chengkong was a powerful Human Emperor, he was more nervous than anyone else. Standing there, he looked completely at a loss. It was the first time Long Chen had ever seen such a powerful figure.
"Hall Master, please take your seat!"
Lu Chengkong gestured with his hand. The seat he referred to was not the chief seat, but the Hall Master's seat in the center of the main hall.
The Hall Master shook his head. Lu Chengkong hurriedly looked at Bai Letian, clearly knowing this seat was no longer his: "Dean Letian, ..."
Bai Letian waved his hand and directly took out four meditation cushions, gesturing to the four of them simultaneously. After sitting down, Lu Chengkong looked terrified. If it weren't for his Human Emperor aura, Long Chen would have thought this guy was an impostor.
Lu Chengkong sat on the meditation cushion, silent. His hands rubbed his clothes back and forth, extremely nervous. Long Chen couldn't help but look at Bai Letian. What was going on?
Bai Letian smiled slightly and said, "Director Chengkong, you don't need to be nervous. We're here to solve the problem. The obstacles ahead have been cleared, and now, I think we can have an honest and honest conversation, don't we?" "
Actually... I don't care about this position, but my two masters insist I must be like this, I ... I ...," Lu Chengkong said in terror.
Hearing this, the three finally understood that those two vice deans were actually his masters. Bai Letian suddenly understood.
After Bai Letian asked, Long Chen and the other two finally learned that Lu Chengkong was nothing more than a puppet dean; everything here was nothing he said at all.
He was originally just an ordinary elder at the academy, having specialized in teaching various martial arts and combat techniques at Lingxiao Academy. By nature, he was indifferent and had no interest in fame or fortune, completely absorbed in various techniques and combat techniques.
Besides teaching his disciples every day, he studied various techniques and spells, obsessed with it. Later, he took charge of managing various collections, thriving in his own waters.
Because he had no desire for fame or fortune, and had no desires or desires, for a period of time, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, instantly attracting the attention of the entire academy.
You have to know, at that time he was very inconspicuous, and he wasn't interested in advancing. He spent his days cultivating and researching, never taking pills, and never using other resources for assistance.
When he was discovered, the entire academy was shocked. At that time, two high-ranking elders announced they would accept him as a disciple and exhausted all resources to help him improve.
With the help of the two, Lucheng Kong entered the half-step Human Emperor realm before the age of a hundred. At that time, many factions in the First Academy were still scheming and vying for the position of dean.
Lu Chengkong suddenly emerged with unparalleled talent. The then director was already elderly and directly passed the position to Lu Chengkong.
Later, Lu Chengkong advanced to Human Emperor, and his two vicious masters, through coaxing and deceit, drained Lu Chengkong's origin blood.
The two of them, relying on this primordial blood, directly advanced to the half-step Human Emperor stage. However, their talent was limited; half-step Human Emperor was already their limit and they would never be able to step into the Human Emperor realm in this lifetime.
Lu Chengkong, having lost his source blood, although his strength was at the Human Emperor realm, his source power was always depleted. So, while he had the aura of a Human Emperor, his body was extremely weak.
"This isn't a master, it's practically beasts!" Long Chen was speechless.
Lu Chengkong was naturally calm and indifferent, unconcerned with fame or fortune. He was simply obsessed with cultivation, and his only hobby was teaching his disciples. Watching them suddenly enlighten his disciples brought him immense satisfaction.
However, once his talent was exploited, he became a tool for the two vice deans to hold power. Lu Chengkong felt both hatred and fear toward his two masters, but he was timid and didn't dare to resist.
Previously, Long Chen had killed two deputy hall masters outside the hall in succession, leaving Lu Chengkong scared out of his wits. When Long Chen revealed the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and tried to smash the hall, he was nearly in tears. He wanted to come out but didn't dare.
"I'm truly sorry, Long Chen was reckless. I hereby formally apologize to you." Long Chen said apologetically.
Long Chen never dreamed things would turn out like this. Since he was wrong, he had to be brave enough to admit it.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Dean Long Chen, you're too kind." Lu Chengkong quickly stood up and stopped Long Chen from bowing. He said excitedly,
"I'm not interested in this dean. I only hope Dean Long Chen won't kick me out of the academy. If ... If you can let me continue teaching the children, Luchengkong would be deeply grateful. Long
Chen killed the two vice deans, and Lu Chengkong finally gained his freedom. He was no longer a puppet controlled by others. He had no hatred toward Long Chen, only gratitude.
But he was also afraid of being implicated by the two, which would make Long Chen hostile toward them. After all, he had witnessed the many heinous acts committed by those two vice hall masters for their positions. Although he hadn't acted directly, he was still an accomplice, and he feared retribution would fall on him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Long Chen and the others, his eyes filled with anxiety. Seeing the once dignified Human Emperor being so timid and timid, it made one feel deeply sad.
"Don't worry, you're still the director. You can do whatever you want." Long Chen said.
"You ... Are you unwilling to forgive me? As soon as Long Chen said this, Lu Chengkong was terrified, thinking he was being sarcastic.
Seeing Lu Chengkong's nervous expression, Bai Letian said, "You don't need to be afraid. Long Chen is the dean, you're the vice dean. Just keep your priorities clear." "
Lu Chengkong was overjoyed when he heard this. This meant Long Chen and the others were no longer holding him accountable. In fact, none of this had anything to do with him—it was all the work of those two vice hall masters.
Lu Chengkong hurriedly took out the dean's seal and respectfully handed it to Long Chen, but Long Chen didn't take it. Instead, he looked directly at Bai Letian and said, "
Dean, you should take care of this seal and accept it!"
"Me?" How could this be? Bai Letian said.
"Even if it doesn't work, it has to happen, because I won't be staying at Lingxiao Academy much longer and will be leaving. The academy still needs you to take charge of the overall situation." Long Chen said.
"Leaving so soon?" Bai Letian was startled.
Long Chen nodded, then briefly recounted what had happened in the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain. Hearing this, even the calm Bai Letian and the Hall Master's expressions changed.
Long Chen was bold, actually going to the Brahma Heaven Pill Valley's lair to undergo the tribulation, and directly sank the Cold Heaven Domain, one of the Eight Domains of Brahma, and even killed a half-step Human Emperor.
You have to know, Han Qianye is the lord of a domain, battle-hardened, wields a domain-guarding divine weapon, and is backed by the power of faith. His strength is almost equivalent to a true Human Emperor, yet Long Chen actually killed him.
Long Chen said he would rest here for a while before leading the Dragon Blood Legion to the Dragon Domain. Once the issues in the Dragon Domain were resolved, his next target would be the Great Wilderness, so time was tight and he didn't have time to manage the academy.
Finally, the four of them walked out of the Lingxiao Hall. Under the watchful eyes of everyone at Lingxiao Academy, Lu Chengkong handed the great seal to Long Chen, completing the handover. Although the seal was ultimately given to Bai Letian, the process still had to be completed.
The moment Long Chen took the great seal, the Dragon Blood Legion and the disciples from the main academy erupted in thunderous cheers.
