Chapter 412

"Trash, you are of no use. I'll give the evil cultivators some face today; if you can't gather one hundred geniuses within half a month, our cooperation ends here."

"I came here to fulfill my grand ambition and wipe out the human race. If you can't even handle this small matter, what use are you? Get moving immediately."

"The target is one thing now: geniuses, we need more geniuses. This plan of so many years must succeed. If you drop the ball on this matter, be careful, I'll find someone in charge to deal with you. Do you hear me?"

Chen Ang hurriedly replied, "Yes, Lord Lanmo, I will return now and immediately find a way to ensure the mission is completed as soon as possible. I will certainly not let you down."

Pretending to have finished reporting the situation, the two left the camp and found a relatively hidden place. Chen Ang spoke first, "Wan Wan Shitong, we are in trouble this time. I see that Lanmo has no cultivation base at all."

"There are only two possibilities: either he is a mortal, or he is a true expert. Given the current situation, it is very troublesome to solve this. The only thing we can do is find a way to bring in reinforcements."

"Go call Master Xing Tian over. I believe Master Xing Tian can easily solve this. Dean Su Xian is not at Wuqu Academy, and Master Xing Tian has the highest combat ability. His peak Dominator Realm cultivation should easily resolve a disaster."

"Go ahead with peace of mind. I will keep an eye on things here. Even if they move the base or whatever, I can follow closely. This matter is of great importance, so don't be careless. Act quickly."

"Boss, then you be careful. I'll bring reinforcements immediately and return as soon as I go. If there is danger, retreat immediately. Don't force it; staying alive is the most important thing."

After saying this, he left the place. Chen Ang also returned to the camp, knowing that the most dangerous place is the safest. Although there are many evil cultivators in the camp, there are very few who can actually pose a danger to him.

Returning to the place where the geniuses were imprisoned, he looked at those controlled people and wanted to find a way to wake them up, but it was of no use. This person Lanmo possesses very strong strength.

Through the previous conversation, he learned that he should be here to temporarily help the evil cultivators. It would be best to find a way to cut off the relationship between the evil cultivators and Lanmo. Judging from the current situation, there is indeed a most suitable method, which is to kill these geniuses.

The evil cultivators definitely won't be able to complete it within half a month. If they don't reach the goal, they will certainly fall apart. But doing this would lose so many geniuses. There is a reason for it, but there will definitely be trouble in the end. Unless it is a last resort, he is determined not to do it.

On the other side, Wan Wan Shitong rode hard to return to Wuqu Academy. It wasn't far, and this time he used all his strength and arrived quickly. Seeing Xing Tian, he explained the whole matter carefully.

Xing Tian was shocked after hearing it, "I really didn't expect that after so many years, the evil cultivators would actually make a comeback. This time it is very dangerous, but fortunately, it was discovered in time. This is very gratifying."

"Let's go. After not making a move for so many years, it's time to let others see my strength. Brat, you did well this time. With me here, don't worry, Chen Ang won't have any problems."

"As Chen Ang's master, whoever wants to kill my apprentice must first pass through me. Back then, I could slaughter in all directions alone in the Sin Prison. A few mere evil cultivators? It's as easy as killing chickens."

423: Rescuing Geniuses

Chen Ang originally wanted to go to Lanmo's room to find a way to lift the control, but unfortunately, his tracks were discovered. He wanted to escape but was caught. Just when he was about to be torn to pieces, Xing Tian and Wan Wan Shitong arrived in time.

Looking at the expert in front of him, Lanmo couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, we seem to have no grievances. There is nothing else today, I just want this kid's life. Please don't interfere."

Xing Tian laughed, "This kid is my apprentice. Saying that I shouldn't interfere in this matter is a bit inappropriate, right? If you want to kill Chen Ang, you have to pass through me first. What's going on with these geniuses? There are several from Wuqu Academy. Aren't you afraid of attracting attention by doing this?"

Lanmo said, "So that's how it is. I'd like to see how strong you are. You have a big mouth."

After speaking, he began to constantly wake up the sleeping geniuses. Those geniuses kept attacking Xing Tian, but there was no way. He had to find the breakthrough point.

Chen Ang reminded, "Master, knock Lanmo unconscious. To catch the bandits, catch the leader first. If you knock the puppeteer unconscious, it will definitely collapse on its own. These people are controlled, and everyone has a family behind them. Killing one of them is not good for Wuqu Academy."

Xing Tian began to attack Lanmo from different directions, but unfortunately, he was blocked tightly by the controlled geniuses. He was very helpless and had to find a way to change his thinking; he had to distract them.

He had to find a way to sacrifice a little, so he said to Wan Wan Shitong, "Help me share the attention and create an opportunity. Just this one chance, absolutely cannot be careless. There are many geniuses on your body, so pay attention to safety."

"Haha, watch me. These are all small problems."

Wan Wan Shitong broke through to the Spirit Realm, and his strength was much stronger than before. The Nine Nether Underworld Flame, after the continuous evolution of the Phoenix, had its strength greatly enhanced. The two cooperated to instantly attract the attention of most of the puppet geniuses.

Xing Tian took advantage of a moment of inattention and successfully got behind Lanmo, directly knocking him unconscious and taking him down. Those puppet geniuses all lost their ability to act and stood there blankly.

After checking that everything was fine, Xing Tian asked, "Tell me, brat, how to deal with this person? Whether to kill or keep him, one word decides. No matter who is behind this person, Wuqu Academy is not afraid."

Seeing the dull-looking geniuses, Chen Ang analyzed, "Master, my opinion is to first find a way to wake these geniuses up, because Lanmo's control is still in a state of confusion, so we must not act rashly."

"We have to find a way to get the puppet control method out. I'm not sure that Lanmo's death will definitely wake these geniuses up. The most stable way is to let Lanmo say it himself."

"But doing this is indeed difficult. Lanmo won't say the control method no matter what. If we keep dragging it out and wait for the evil cultivators to rescue him, we few are not enough. We must make a quick decision."

"Haha, isn't this simple? Just disguise as an evil cultivator and trick him into saying it. If he doesn't want to say it on the road, just kill him. He must have value to be used; if he has no value, he dies directly."

"Good idea, why didn't I think of that?"

The few people followed the plan, entered the room where Lanmo was held before the dead of night, and rescued him. Looking at the few people in front of him, he asked, "Who sent you?"

The few had long since disguised themselves, changing their appearance and voices, so they were basically unrecognizable. Chen Ang said, "Lord Evil King heard that Mr. Lanmo is in crisis, so he sent us to rescue Mr. Lanmo. Wuqu Academy and the evil cultivators have a grudge, but they both have a common enemy to deal with."

He said vigilantly, "Take out evidence to prove you are evil cultivators. If there is enough evidence, I will leave with you."

Chen Ang had long been prepared in advance, took out the prepared token and said, "This is the token, take a look, there should be no problem."

This token was taken from another evil cultivator. After confirming there was no problem, Lanmo was temporarily relieved and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. That old guy is very strong, completely unbeatable. We must contact the Evil King as soon as possible."

Chen Ang asked temptingly, "What about these geniuses? Won't they wake up and lift the control?"

"It's fine, no matter what, they will be under my control. As long as they are still in the world for one day, don't even think about living well."

Wan Wan Shitong, disguised as a black-robed man, couldn't help but laugh, "Your meaning is, as long as they are alive, they will always be under control, but if they die, will they recover?"

Lanmo nodded seriously, "Of course, it is controlled by spiritual power itself. As long as the spiritual power is still there, then there is no problem."

"Haha, then I'm sorry, Mr. Lanmo, now you can die in peace."

After speaking, one blade ended the life of this puppeteer. Those controlled geniuses all returned to their normal appearance. Looking at everything strange around them, they all looked very confused.

Xing Tian walked to the geniuses and said, "I am Xing Tian of Wuqu Academy. You can follow me to Wuqu Academy first. Each family will have someone specifically to pick you up."

"Don't act rashly. Your bodies have just recovered. Wuqu Academy will give you a reasonable explanation for what happened. I hope you can cooperate with the action."

The geniuses didn't know what was going on and were all confused. They were all caught inadvertently. Now that the control has just been lifted, some haven't reacted yet.

Seeing that they wouldn't listen, Xing Tian released the aura of the peak Dominator Realm and shouted loudly, "All follow me back to Wuqu Academy, do you hear me?"

He brought these geniuses back to Wuqu Academy. Afterward, he let each family come to pick up their people. This incident resolved the crisis brought by the evil cultivators, making Wuqu Academy's reputation soar.

Originally, Wuqu Academy was somewhat affected due to the departure of the previous Dean's clone. After this rescue operation, each family felt grateful to Wuqu Academy and was willing to send their geniuses over. It was a profitable business, a win-win situation.

This time, the evil cultivators didn't have it easy. The Evil King said, "How did you handle things? You couldn't even protect a Lanmo. Do you know how high a price was paid to the Demon Dragon Pavilion to invite Lanmo?"

"What to do, tell me what to do to reduce losses."

"My lord, complaining after the fact is useless. We have to find a way to get the people from the Demon Dragon Pavilion to send more manpower to deal with Wuqu Academy, right?"

"I heard that Lanmo is the son of an important character in the Demon Dragon Pavilion. If we tell them about this, what will the Demon Dragon Pavilion do? They will definitely take action."

"This incident has exposed the evil cultivators to the public eye again. We must find a way to divert attention. The conflict between the Demon Dragon Pavilion and Wuqu Academy is an opportunity to slowly develop strength."

"Haha, you kid is still smart, I will consider it carefully. You all go down first, remember not to disclose today's events to others."

424: The Evil King's Conspiracy

The Evil King took out the crystal ball prepared in advance. After lighting it up, the image of a black-robed man appeared on the opposite side. Through the crystal ball, he said, "Tell me why Lanmo died. We have cooperated with the evil cultivators for so long, and there has never been any mistake. Can you tell me the reason for this incident?"

The Evil Lord explained, "This matter is the negligence of the evil cultivators. Originally there was nothing wrong, but someone leaked the news, and a peak Dominator Realm expert appeared. Lanmo's strong strength was of no use."

"After being caught, he should have been tortured, and since he had no value, he was killed by the people of Wuqu Academy. The compensation that should be given this time will be made up for. It can be considered that the evil cultivators are sorry to the Demon Dragon Pavilion."

"Haha, do you think this matter can be solved so easily? Don't worry, those few people from Wuqu Academy won't live long. Lanmo came here to train, and the big shot behind him has eyes and ears everywhere. Even I have some scruples."

"This time Wuqu Academy met a real expert. Having lurked in the Perished World for so long, it's time to let others know what the strength of destruction is."

The Evil King was very shocked. He had cooperated with the Demon Dragon Pavilion for a very long time and knew what kind of people they were. The manager behind the crystal ball could be considered the person in charge of a region.

How strong is the person he fears? If this is really the case, then the plan must be reconsidered. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. This time Wuqu Academy has met trouble.

The Demon Dragon Pavilion's strength is not simple. Back then, when the evil cultivators were being wiped out by various families, it was the Demon Dragon Pavilion that made a move to save him and provided help to continuously expand. The growth of the evil cultivators has a lot to do with the Demon Dragon Pavilion.

I didn't expect that the death of a Lanmo could exchange for so much information. It is very worthwhile. It's just that I don't know if it can really threaten Wuqu Academy. We still have to wait and see.

After returning to Wuqu Academy, after a short rest, he was pulled into the conference room by Xing Tian. Sitting in this conference room were dozens of experts at the Dominator Realm level.

These are the teachers after the merger of the two academies, managing all matters of the entire Wuqu Academy. Xing Tian said, "Dean Su Xian said that during the time he is away, I will serve as the acting dean. This evil cultivator incident has caused a significant impact. I want to hear your opinions. Let's pool our wisdom; we must have an accurate answer."

One of the teachers said, "Judging from the current situation, the evil cultivators have great ambition. This time it was a coincidence that we bumped into their operation."

"But for the evil cultivators, none of those hidden core personnel appeared, which is the biggest problem. I feel like a huge conspiracy is brewing."

"My suggestion is to find a way to get the various families to unite again and carry out an operation to see if we can unearth more evil cultivators."

Another teacher said somewhat unconvinced, "Acting Dean, I disagree with this point of view. Think about how much time and resources it takes to search for evil cultivators on a large scale every time."

"If we mobilize the various families to act, what if someone makes trouble in the middle and causes an impact? We must start from the overall situation."

Xing Tian was dizzy from everyone's talk. At this time, he asked, "Apprentice, do you have any views?"

Chen Ang said, "Teachers and seniors, stop arguing. According to the current situation, generally speaking, we have a certain advantage. This time we successfully shattered the evil cultivators' goal and gained the trust of the various families."

"It plays a vital role in the reorganized Wuqu Academy. My opinion is that we should focus on intelligence gathering. The number of evil cultivators is not large. After several rounds of encirclement and suppression, what remains are some core backbones."

"If we want to develop ordinary evil cultivators, we must find the disciples and families of the various families. We can observe carefully and screen seriously, and we will definitely gain something."

"We can stipulate that in the future, students of Wuqu Academy must be protected by special teachers after going out. There must be no situation of acting alone."

"If they are in groups, it will be difficult for the evil cultivators to make a move. We can find a way to reach a connection with the Beast Forest. Having a certain hostile relationship with the beasts in the Beast Forest can provide beast intelligence, which can be a great help."

"Using all united forces to resolve this crisis is the most important method at present. What do you think?"

Xing Tian was dizzy. After his apprentice said that, he also reacted and said, "I think what Chen Ang said makes a lot of sense. Okay, let's leave it at that for now. If there are other things later, we will talk about them."

"Teachers, sorry for the hard work these few days. Carefully check the Beast Forest. The goal this time is very simple: we must find a way to kill the evil cultivators lurking in the Beast Forest."

"Nothing else, the Beast Forest definitely still has evil cultivators. Keeping them is of no use. You understand what I mean, right?"

Xing Tian originally had very high prestige among the teachers. Since he said this, there was no other way. The teachers immediately acted and carried out a cleanup of the Beast Forest.

At present, except for the Beast Forest, other places will find ways to let the various families contribute their strength. At this time, they have a certain influence on the various families, and they are very willing to help.

After several days of continuous efforts, after resolving the threat in the Beast Forest, it was temporarily stable. Although they couldn't catch the core personnel, at least they ensured the safety of the students practicing in the Beast Forest.
