Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 155 Inviting the Headmaster to Set Off (Next Chapter Later)

The trees are lush and green, and carriages and horses gradually gather outside the red walls and green tiles.

Both the government office and the Demon Slayer Bureau sent their constables to the academy in haste, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

The sword light that had just pierced through the air had already caused panic in Anren Prefecture, and the news quickly spread to all the counties, large and small.

Just as the government was racking its brains trying to figure out how to appease the people.

Qiankun Academy, the backbone of Anren Prefecture, actually showed everyone what the Yu family style was like.

"How could the headmaster possibly allow them to leave like this?"

A disciple of the immortals who was working in the government office angrily waved his sleeve.

Has that old abbot become so confused that he doesn't know what kind of storm this matter will cause in the prefectural city?

As long as the immortal descendants remain in Anren Prefecture, the people will never believe that the immortal sect will abandon this place.

But if even they have fled, then this great mansion is truly doomed.

"I heard that the headmaster personally escorted us during this evacuation."

"What do you mean? He's in charge of the academy, so he has to be responsible for the safety of the students."

The demon-slaying officers could only manage a bitter smile, their faces showing utter dejection.

The immortal descendants of the Literary Academy are students, but aren't the cultivators of the Martial Academy also students? The former were able to leave safely, while the latter were ordered to stay and assist the government and the Demon Slaying Division in guarding the prefecture and county.

"call."

The students of the martial arts academy stood blankly at the main gate, watching the convoy of cars that had gathered like a dragon, their breathing slightly disordered.

Many immortal descendants had already discreetly emerged from the side door, ignoring the intense gazes around them, and quietly got into the car.

When they were all studying at Qiankun Academy, the fact that the civil and military academies were separate meant that no one really noticed.

Yet, in this scene, the insurmountable chasm between the status of immortal descendants and cultivators is vividly demonstrated.

These immortal descendants can abandon the city and leave at will.

However, we must stay and fight to the death. The reason for this is to protect the reputation of the headmaster.

We cannot give the impression that he has abandoned Anren Prefecture.

The headmaster is only temporarily escorting the younger generation away; he will return later to continue overseeing the prefectural city.

However, if Anren Prefecture "happens" to fall during this process, it would naturally be heartbreaking and infuriating, but it cannot be blamed on him.

Meanwhile, in the quiet courtyard.

The two deputy heads strode into the inner courtyard, and said in a slightly nervous voice, "Headmaster, everything is arranged."

Yu Dongjun sat behind a wide, low table, staring quietly at the teacup, watching the tea leaves churn violently in the boiling water, like a dying person struggling incessantly.

After a long while, he let out a soft, cold laugh.

At this moment, Anren Prefecture is like this bowl of boiling soup, threatening to scald Yu Sheng alive.

"You two may also accompany me."

"..."

The two deputy heads were stunned for a few moments, then their faces lit up with joy: "Thank you, Headmaster!"

In fact, up to now, the surrounding demons have not launched any offensive against the prefecture or county. The heavy losses in recent times are almost entirely due to the Demon Slaying Division's initiative to go to the Demon Mountain.

The saying goes, "Don't bite off more than you can chew," so the demons are unlikely to have any designs on Anren Prefecture.

Logically, what these demons should be doing now is heading to Yongzhou Pass to join up with the powerful demons like the Moon-Eating Cloud Dragon, and first defend that barren mountain area.

But Qian Yiru's sword light truly terrified everyone.

What if these demons don't act according to common sense? Are we going to gamble with our lives?

The city's only two late-stage Golden Core experts are about to leave one of them to avoid responsibility for this serious mistake.

Relying solely on the Chen family patriarch might not be enough to protect the demons.

Besides, he's just a wandering immortal with no ties to him, so why should he help the Yu family defend the city?

Where can't we find a place to settle down?

If they can accompany the mountain chief, the responsibility for the demons' attack on Anren Prefecture will be borne by him.

If the demons leave this place and go to Yongzhou Pass, they can return with the headmaster and still be the deputy headmasters of the academy. Either way, they won't lose out.

"Since she thinks she has unparalleled strategic skills, then let her manage everything herself."

Yu Dongjun picked up the jade cup and blew on the tea leaves.

He narrowed his long eyes, a deep sarcasm in them: "Let alone the fact that with her early Golden Core stage cultivation, she is far from being a true prodigy. Even if she were, the Yu family has more than just her as a prodigy."

"With my resources and strength, what difference does it make who I serve?"

"What does the headmaster mean?" The two deputy heads looked up in surprise.

"Shuangyun Mansion, Yu Jingzhe." Yu Dongjun took a sip of tea and softly uttered a name.

"Is that the senior who wielded the mountain god's chariot?"

The two deputy mountain chiefs looked surprised and exclaimed, "We've heard that two rogue immortals have already pledged their allegiance to him..."

"Three families."

Yu Dongjun raised his eyes and corrected him, "Not long ago, the Liu family also joined his ranks."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two of them swallowed hard.

Everyone knows that the Liu family has always been a loyal follower of the Silver-Eyed White Wolf Immortal.

This prodigy of the Yu family has even managed to win over the rogue immortal on the other side; what prestige he possesses!

"I am on my way to find him. I have already sent word to Zhang'er to meet me on the way."

Yu Dongjun had already made thorough plans. If Anren Prefecture really fell, he would need a powerful backer if he wanted to reclaim the place.

As a clan elder who had voluntarily surrendered, this prodigy would surely give him some face.

When Anren Prefecture is captured, someone will be needed to take over its administration, and this place will still be returned to him, the headmaster.

"Let's get ready to go."

"yes!"

As the headmaster stood up, the two deputy heads hurriedly and respectfully followed behind.

Yu Dongjun strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

There was actually one more thing he didn't say.

Since Qian Yiru dared to betray the demons, given the backlash he suffered from his cultivation level, he must have found a generous new patron.

With sufficient resources to sustain it, this beast's cultivation will likely break through to the late Golden Core stage in no time.

When that time comes, I will be in real danger.

The arrogant sword strike the other party made a few days ago was most likely intended to provoke him, the headmaster.

If he remains trapped in this mess in Anren Prefecture, this fiend will have enough time to break through.

You want to lay a hand on me... Ha, dream on!

……

Outside Qiankun Academy.

The horses were in large numbers, and the convoy was ready to go.

With the help of the Yu family immortals, who were at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, riding the wind, this group of immortal descendants could reach other prefectures in less than half a month.

"A mountain has grown!"

The Ruan siblings, accompanied by numerous subordinate generals, were trying to stop the convoy by persuading them, when they turned around and saw the three people strolling out.

Even the demon-slaying officers responsible for guarding the counties below rushed back upon hearing the news.

This clearly demonstrates the significant impact this matter had on Anren Prefecture.

Are you sure you want to leave?

Just then, three figures slowly approached from the other side of the academy.

Yu Sheng stood in front of the convoy with a cold expression, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Ugh."

Yu Dongjun sighed on the surface, but in reality, he was already laughing out loud when he saw the ugly face of the lowly maid. He felt extremely relieved.

So you think you're so clever? Well, I'll just flip the table over, and nobody's getting another bite.

He has already gained the upper hand. If Yu Sheng wants to get away now, she can only find another excuse, which will only make her a hundred times more embarrassed than him!

"These 120 students are the future of the court and cannot be lost."

"Even if the journey is treacherous, I must do my best to get them to safety."

"It's just that Immortal Yu Sheng has had a hard time."

Yu Dongjun shook his head and said earnestly, "Before I return, you must keep a close watch on the prefecture and county on your own. Make sure those demons don't cause any trouble."

After saying that, he looked around again: "The Demon Slaying Division and the government offices are both headed by the academy. All transfers and arrangements must first be approved by Immortal Yu Sheng. No one may act on their own initiative!"

"..."

The Ruan siblings and all the other subordinate generals clenched their fists.

If you're going to run away, then run away. But before you leave, you have to shift all the blame onto others.

As for what the old man had said earlier—that he would take responsibility for everything—that had long been forgotten and was no longer mentioned.

These hundred-plus descendants of immortals come from various families.

By safely sending them out, Yu Dongjun not only avoided being questioned by the immortal sects, but also gained the favor of many rogue immortal families.

What a bastard!

"Tsk."

Yu Sheng pondered for a long time, then suddenly chuckled and stepped aside to make way for him: "Since you're planning to leave anyway, then you don't need to worry about the affairs of my Anren Prefecture."

In the past, Yu Dongjun would inevitably have argued with him.

But at this moment, in his eyes, Yu Sheng was nothing more than a ridiculous orphan driven to the brink of despair, only capable of using words to his advantage.

He smiled magnanimously and patted Lin Shu on the shoulder: "You did a great job, I've seen it all, but you must not be complacent. You must work even harder in the future."

"For your master's sake... guard this great mansion well."

The old man drawled out his words, a hint of amusement creeping into his smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, Headmaster."

Lin Shu glanced at the withered hand on her shoulder, but surprisingly, she didn't show the anger that others had expected.

He calmly turned around and said in a low voice, "Please, Headmaster, begin your journey."

"snort."

Yu Dongjun chuckled and turned to leap into the most luxurious carriage.

The master and apprentice were still pretending to be calm.

Only after they have truly left will they realize that the so-called achievements they made and the guarding of various counties were all due to the legacy of their predecessors.

Without Yu Dongjun, the fate of Anren Prefecture was already sealed!

Susu!

As the wind whipped up, dozens of carriages took flight, their steeds galloping on all fours, leaving a trail of light beneath their hooves before disappearing from sight.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the area outside Qiankun Academy suddenly appeared somewhat deserted.

"Immortal Yu Sheng, Senior Brother Lin..."

The Ruan siblings, accompanied by many subordinate generals, rushed over. They hadn't expected that the master and disciple would let Yu Dongjun go so easily.

"The Demon Slayer Division is truly out of manpower." Everyone looked bitter and heavy-hearted, abandoning any thought of pleasantries and directly pointing out the most serious problem at present.

It should be noted that this group of lieutenants was originally the faction that was isolated and ostracized.

But after being slaughtered by those demons, they have now become the "main force".

The brother and sister never imagined that they would have such a firm grip on the Anren Prefecture Demon Slaying Division in this way.

"Let's keep everything as usual for now."

Yu Sheng remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

Her posture managed to calm the onlookers.

Fan Li, accompanied by a group of martial arts academy lecturers, walked over with a dejected expression. Forcing a smile, he cupped his hands and said, "We have made all the arrangements. The martial arts academy is at your service at any time."

The officials from the government office stood not far away, watching with solemn expressions.

"Were they originally capable of doing things?"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the audience.

Everyone paused for a moment, then looked in unison at the handsome young man before instinctively shaking their heads.

"Since that's the case, what's the harm in leaving? Just go do what you're supposed to do."

Lin Shu reached out and dusted off her shoulder before turning and heading towards the academy.

"..."

Hearing these casual words, everyone's expressions turned strange.

Can these really be the same?

However, no matter what, at least Immortal Yu Sheng has not panicked and has no intention of abandoning the city, so Anren Prefecture will not fall into a state of leaderlessness.

"I don't understand."

Yu Sheng obediently followed behind Lin Shu, not to complain, but simply to state a fact.

Those memorials sent from the government office were like gibberish to her.

"It's okay, take your time, I'll have someone teach you."

Lin Shu walked with ease, leading everyone back to the elegant courtyard.

If you want a large territory, you must first learn how to govern it.

Yu Sheng's intentions are good, but if she wants the territory to develop in the direction she envisions, she needs the assistance of others.

This person doesn't need to be highly capable or proficient in government affairs. As long as they are familiar with the ways of things and can help Yu Sheng judge whether matters big or small are reasonable, so that she won't be deceived, that's enough.

"You must not be rude to the lecturer; you must listen to him."

"Hehe, I wouldn't!"

Yu Sheng skipped and hopped along behind until she stepped into the courtyard and saw that familiar figure.

She pouted angrily, her fair skin visibly flushed red.

"Immortal Yu Sheng".

The gentle and pretty woman tidied the memorials on the table, slowly stood up, and nodded respectfully to everyone.

The Ruan siblings haven't reacted yet.

But behind the two, Chang Yi, who was usually quiet, quietly raised his head, his lips trembling slightly.

On that dark and resolute face, a hint of youthful naiveté finally appeared.

"..."

Gu Nanzhi had served as a county lieutenant in Heishui County for ten years, and her brother-in-law was the county magistrate. Through this exposure, Gu Nanzhi had become the most skilled person in this field among the people Lin Shu knew and trusted.

She stared at Chang Yi, her head slightly lowered to hide her reddened eyes.

Lord Lin said that if there was an opportunity, she could meet with her nephew and let her family know that she was safe.

But Gu Nanzhi never imagined that this so-called "meeting" would mean that she, who had already fallen into demonhood, would brazenly step into this familiar city and enter the Qiankun Academy, a place she had never dared to dream of before.

In front of the deputy general of the Demon Slayer Division, he met Chang Yi again.

"Alright, everyone disperse. Leave that charcoal-faced guy here."

Lin Shu waved her hand, dispersing the people from the Demon Slayer Division and the Martial Academy, leaving space for the two to catch up.

He leaned back in the bamboo chair, his fingertips stroking the armrest.

What kind of territory is this, hiding and concealing things?

That's more like it.

Thinking of this, he looked towards the outside of the city, a dangerous smile curving his lips.

I must thank Dean Yu Dongjun for his generous gift in giving me this opportunity.

The two prefectures are too far apart, and the journey is rugged.

To express my gratitude, I, Lin, will offer you all a ride.
