Chapter 245: That Brat Doesn't Dare to Come Out!

Dongfang Shu said sternly, "The regulations of our Changheng Academy are incomplete; we need a few of us Vice Deans to discuss and perfect them together."

"But everything must be based on fair competition."

"We also firmly do not welcome students who deliberately exploit loopholes in the rules!"

Tian Dingkun gave a cold snort: "We must add one more clause: those who strike first must be severely punished!"

"For students who injure or kill others, we will execute them on the spot immediately!"

Murong He also knitted his brows and said, "We must carefully select members for the Law Enforcement Team and give the Law Enforcement Team more authority to act first and report later!"

Guan Jiande gave a cold snort: "After this Yaoshou Senlin trial, we should also elect a Dean."

"The strife between us is all caused by having no Dean to preside over things."

"If we are deadlocked in a dispute, we will certainly listen to the Dean's ruling!"

"We shall follow the election convention of the minority being subordinate to the majority to elect the Dean of Changheng Academy!"

Their faction was large, so whether it was selecting the Law Enforcement Team or electing a Dean, they held a massive advantage.

They currently had three Vice Deans, while Dongfang Shu only had himself on his side; even if he won over Su Zichen, it would be useless.

The people in the Law Enforcement Team were all their people, and the Dean would also be theirs; when the time came, Changheng Academy would still be run by them.

It didn't matter if they suffered a small loss right now.

Besides, their side still held the greater power in this Yaoshou Senlin trial; it would be quite something if Lu Tianyu and his group could even come out alive.

Tian Dingkun added another point: "For this entry into Yaoshou Senlin, Protectors cannot follow them in, and the Spirit Sealing Talismans of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage must be handed over!"

"They can only be returned after the trial ends!"

"Otherwise, if this brat abuses the Spirit Sealing Talisman, wouldn't he be able to kill everyone?"

Once these words were spoken, Su Zichen immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, the matter of electing a Dean should be put on our agenda."

"I have always remained neutral before, but after this Yaoshou Senlin incident, I will also participate in the voting!"

She made her stance clear.

Dongfang Shu frowned slightly.

If the election were held immediately after Yaoshou Senlin, the possibility of his side losing was very high.

If Su Zichen joined his side, plus the Vice Dean Token of Lu Tianyu, it would at most be a tie.

The main thing was that Su Zichen might not necessarily join their side.

Su Zichen had no idea that he had Lu Tianyu on his side.

But given the current situation, if he didn't agree, there might be another conflict, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Shu took a deep breath: "Fine!"

He could only make one last gamble: inform Su Zichen that Lu Tianyu was a Vice Dean and try his best to win Su Zichen over.

Even if it cost a great price, it would be worth it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the anger on Tian Dingkun's face vanished, and he then laughed out loud: "Good!"

"Dongfang Shu, you finally figured it out. Not bad, not bad, you've made progress."

Murong He and Guan Jiande did not speak, but triumphant smiles appeared on their faces.

After the Yaoshou Senlin trial, Changheng Academy would be theirs; making a few concessions now didn't matter.

Guan Jiande spoke up: "Then we shall wait here for Lu Tianyu to come out."

"However, the entry time for Yaoshou Senlin cannot be changed. If this brat comes out late and misses the time, he can only blame himself if he can't enter, hahahaha!"

He laughed heartily.

He was very happy to see Dongfang Shu suffer a setback.

Eight hours passed quickly.

There were two more hours until the miasma in Yaoshou Senlin thinned; it was the best time to enter Yaoshou Senlin.

If Lu Tianyu did not come out within one hour, he would be disqualified from entering the Yaoshou Senlin selection, and thus lose the opportunity to enter Changheng Academy.

Dongfang Shu sat cross-legged with a calm expression, but he was extremely anxious inside.

He did not know why Lu Tianyu had been in seclusion for such a long time.

Guo Zhuying, Murong Xue, Shangguan Wan'er, Wan Ziling, and Zhao Qian were all very anxious.

Their expressions were all very grim.

Lu Tianyu was their backbone; once Lu Tianyu was disqualified, their situation after entering would be extremely dangerous.

People from the Seven Stars Sect, Huanhe Heaven Sect, Longyue Gate, and Rakshasa Sect would all target them.

Other sects would follow suit as well.

These few of them were simply no match for the combined forces of these sects.

Even if these sects were scattered, under the instigation of the Seven Stars Sect and Longyue Gate, these people would treat them as enemies the moment they met.

The consequences were unthinkable.

Only Cui Jinjia was not worried at all.

She felt that it didn't matter whether Lu Tianyu entered Changheng Academy or not; at worst, he could just enter the Tianjia Sect to cultivate.

As for entering the Tianlin Divine Tomb and entering the Zhongyang Xingyu, the Tianjia Sect could easily handle it; there was no need to use Changheng Academy as a stepping stone.

Guan Jiande walked up to Dongfang Shu: "Hehe, it seems that brat isn't coming out. He must be afraid of entering Yaoshou Senlin and doesn't dare to show himself."

"He must have heard everything we said just now. Once his Spirit Sealing Talisman was taken, he knew he wasn't up to it and was afraid of death, hahahaha!"

Murong He also mocked: "Dongfang Shu, you paid such a high price to seek out such a person and pinned your hopes on him."

"It's just a pity that this person is incredibly arrogant, doesn't put you in his eyes at all, and treats you like air. Do you feel like a failure? You must be very angry, right? Ahahahaha!"

How could Tian Dingkun forget to come up and kick him while he was down: "Oh my, Dean Dongfang Shu, the situation is looking a bit grim."

"You went as far as to fall out with us for this kid, yet this kid ignores you completely, treating you like a clown."

"I dare guarantee that even if you kowtowed and begged him to come out, he wouldn't dare; he is afraid of something happening if he enters the Yaoshou Senlin, hahaha!"

Dongfang Shu gave a cold snort: "The time has not yet come, how do you know he won't come out!"

"I, Dongfang Shu, will absolutely not choose the wrong person!"

He actually had full confidence in Lu Tianyu.

Even if Lu Tianyu did not come out and could not enter the Changheng Academy, he would still provide him with full assistance through the Changheng Academy.

It was just that he felt Lu Tianyu should come out quickly; there was no need to rush cultivation for a single moment.

"Hahaha!"

Guan Jiande and the other two laughed loudly, "Keep being stubborn!"

Many students participating in the selection looked at the Underworld Palace in Cui Jinjia's hand with disdain, whispering to one another.

Only a small number of people frowned; they very much hoped for Lu Tianyu to come out.

Because entering the Yaoshou Senlin was the best opportunity to kill Lu Tianyu.

They had also accepted the mission.

But the next second, the nervous expressions on their faces relaxed.

The smiling faces of Guan Jiande and the other two suddenly changed, becoming unsightly.

A figure was seen flying out from the Underworld Palace, stretching: "So many people are cursing me not to come out; how could I let you get your wish."

"I have remembered all the words you used to curse me. I am a person who holds grudges; given the chance, I will definitely pay you back twofold."
