Chapter 938: Run Away
Storming into the principal’s office were the vice-captain and the supreme elder. They were enraged by the sudden announcement that the academy for the rest of the day would be closed. The issue was due to renovation. However, in the minds of the vice principal and the supreme elder, this is just another scheme of the principal. After all, they had taken over the resources his elder brother possessed after he had fallen sick.
"Principal Zhou! Do you know what you have done?!" The vice principal questioned as soon as he burst into the office.
The reason why Wu Yao had so many resources is due to the Moon Goddess. After the Ancient Ruin was taken over by Yue Xuexia, she had given most of the original resources inside the ruins to the Black Cloud Academy. Well, to be exact, half of everything inside that ruins ended up in Wu Yao’s pocket. A quarter to her brothers and their people and the last quarter split among the other cultivators who had survived inside before they got kicked out.
This split was done according to the needs of the people. What she gave to her brothers and their people are those they needed the most: Spirit Stones, elemental stones, Immortal herbs, etc. For common herbs and common materials used by young disciples and not useful for geniuses like the Moon Princes whose resources were carefully picked to be the best of best. As for the scraps they were given to the rest of the cultivators who survived that day.
Principal Wu Zhou who had already anticipated their uninvited arrival remained calm under the spoken words of people that can be considered as seniors for someone his age. However, due to the strained relationship between factions, Wu Zhou had long used up all his patience towards these two old men who refused to place down their greed.
Wu Zhou said, "What have I done? Isn’t it just sending the students home for a short vacation while the school is under renovation?"
"Vacation? Renovation? Have you gotten the permission of every teacher in the Black Cloud Academy! What do you think of us!? This Supreme Elder!" said the Supreme Elder.
Under the pressure of the aura of the Supreme Elder, Wu Zhou is unexpectedly unmoved. Normally, this wouldn’t be possible. After all, the Supreme Elder is stronger than him by a few minor realities. But the fact that his coercion is not working on Wu Zhou is a fact that is happening right now. After all, even the Vice Principal was being forced to fall on his knees under the supreme elder’s aura.
"How is this possible? How did you do it? How were you able to ignore my aura!?" The only old man in the room bellowed in rage.
With a twitching veins on his temples, the Supreme Elder glared at the principal who remained expressionless. He was actually surprised. The moment the supreme elder had spoken, he knew that things wouldn’t end this easily. However, what he didn’t expect was that under the elder’s coercive aura, he couldn’t feel anything at all. Then he looked at the vice-principal who was about to fall face first under the pressure and looked at his unharmed self. The aura felt like a cold yet light breeze for him instead.
Wu Zhou couldn’t help but want to glance at the young man who had come with him after sending his people to capture the subordinates of the supreme elder and the vice-principal once they went to his office to complain. He knew that they would definitely do this and was about to bear it and never to lower his stance only to be stunned that the Exalted Lord who just came for fun would protect him proactively.
What Wu Zhou didn’t know is that as long as he is connected to the Moon Goddess, the Immortal Sun Emperor would guarantee his life at least. This is because Shen Jueyang knew how overprotective the woman he loves towards her people.
Even though Wu Zhou didn’t intentionally let the vice-principal and the supreme elder notice the presence of the Immortal Sun Emperor, the vice principal who turned his head to look around the office trying to find something to lean on noticed a young man watching the farce they are acting on with a cup of coffee in his hand seated on a single, luxury sofa set at the corner of the room. This man’s black eyes were full of indifference and there is an unknown danger coming from this person making the vice-principal tremble instinctively.
"E-Elder... Someone else..." The vice principal barely spoke these words under the heavy pressure falling on to himself.
However, the Supreme Elder still noticed and looked around the office to finally see Shen Jueyang who was seated elegantly with his legs crossed on one another looking at them with dull eyes as if watching an especially boring play before his eyes. The moment the Supreme Elder saw the Immortal Sun Emperor the first thing he noticed was the black sword leaning on the wall next to the young man.
"A Sword Cultivator?" The Supreme Elder mumbles as he takes away his aura looking at Shen Jueyang warily.
If there is a kind of cultivator in this world that is hard to handle then there are only two kinds. The cultivator that can use space ability and a sword cultivator who dares to fight an opponent with one realm higher than they are.
"Brat, who the hell are you?"
The Supreme Elder upon meeting the eyes of the Immortal Sun Emperor narrowed his eyes and raised his guard to the highest. He can feel that this young man is too unreadable and just for the fact that those cold, and sharp eyes are staring at him as if he is already a corpse made him even more sure of the danger this young man can bring him.
The Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t respond right away and was only about to lower the cup in his hand when suddenly the Supreme Elder had bloated away from the office leaving Principal Wu Zhou and the Vice-Principal speechless.
Shen Jueyang asked, "Aren’t you going to catch the old thing?" He then nonchalantly glanced at the vice-principal on the ground and said, "You can leave this one with me. He won’t be able to escape."
Principal Wu Zhou clasped his hands towards the Immortal Sun Emperor before chasing after the Supreme Elder. Compared to the vice principal who is most likely just a minion, the supreme elder is most likely the mastermind even if he is not the man behind the scene then at least they can get so much information on him as long as he was caught.
Meanwhile, just outside the territory of the Black Cloud Academy...
The Assassin King, Hei Yu and a Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, Su Kan, had just arrived one time. They were looking around the place and noticed that the area unexpectedly felt a bit desolated. At the very least, they are not seeing some students gathering around to go to school or some teachers flying around to find their next class.
Hei Yu observed the area and said, "Something is wrong."
"Hm? What do you mean?" Su Kan asked, looking confused.
Hei Yu said, "The area is too quiet and a few groups are hiding in some special place. We might have entered in someone else’s ambush plans. We must leave."
But before they could leave, they were suddenly surrounded by men under Wu Zhou. Most of them were God Kings so seeing Hei Yu and Su Kan, someone within the crowd from the other side had recognized them. Moreover, the two of them recognized the black cloud pattern on their ancient robes, showing their group as someone from the Black Cloud Academy.
"Why did the Assassin King and a Grand Elder from the Pill Tower come to our humble academy?" A teacher from the Black Cloud Academy asked.
This man was on guard. After all, why else would an assassin of Hei Yu’s level suddenly appear in this place unless he comes here because his target is from this Academy.
Someone finally held a weapon and looked at Hei Yu, guarded, when they heard that he is the infamous Assassin King from the Evernight Manor. His reputation is not small indeed, just the fact that he can ambush a realm emperor and assassinate them isn’t a simple thing. It’s a show of power and ability. The other thought that the Assassin King would make a move to escape only to see him and his companion raise their hands holding no weapon on their hands. It’s a sign of surrender.
Grand Elder Su Kan said, "Wait. Wait. We didn’t come here to harm anyone. We came here because we heard our Mistress is here!"
"You should know who your mistress is, if you are Wu Zhou’s people," Hei Yu.
As expected the moment these words were mentioned, the leader of the other side gestured to his subordinates to step back. He indeed recalled that their Second Master had brought a young lady and a young man to meet the First Master. They also know that the young lady was the First Master’s only disciple.
"You know the Young Miss?" They asked.
