Chapter 143 How Many Hearts Are Broken
Although it is very slow, it is recovering nonetheless.
Meanwhile, the power left behind by Mo Shaoxie slowly nourished Feng Jiutian's body.
The Seventh Prince stared at Feng Jiutian, who was diligently healing his wounds, a cold glint flashing in his eyes before he closed them.
While the two were enjoying their ambiguous relationship, a group of people on the other side were in a state of panic and anxiety.
"This time, such a powerful demon broke into the academy and even injured students. If word gets out, it will seriously damage the academy's reputation!" a tutor shouted sternly.
He then said with a stern face, "This demon must have a purpose. I think we should keep an eye on Feng Jiutian and use him as bait. The demon will definitely appear, and then we can attack together. I don't believe we can't catch it!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yun sternly rebuked him: "Are you playing with the students' lives again!"
Yun, who was usually calm and collected, was now serious and angry, her eyes filled with coldness as she looked at the mentor.
"What if that demon insists on taking the students hostage during our battle? A student's life will be ruined by our plans, which violates the principles of the Royal Academy! When did we become so weak that we have to gamble with a student's life to capture a demon!"
The instructor was speechless for a moment, then retorted with dissatisfaction, "We don't even know where that demon came from. Demons are inherently cruel, and who knows what they might do? They might do something even more shocking next. If we don't capture it soon, it's like a time bomb in the academy. Who knows what might happen!"
Ji Yu shook his head.
"Even so, we can't gamble with the students' lives. The most urgent thing now is to find where that demon is hiding. There's a barrier in the academy; he can get in, but getting out won't be so easy. We should be able to find him easily. Send a few of our closed-door disciples to search, and report back any clues you find. Don't act rashly!"
A group of mentors were discussing solutions, while the middle-aged man remained silent, deep in thought.
The night passed quickly, and all the mentors spent a sleepless night.
It has been decades since I last saw such powerful demonic energy.
There may be one or two minor demons who overestimate their abilities, but they are all insignificant and pose no threat whatsoever.
But this time, it was a demonic power that could truly cause a bloodbath. Any one of the instructors present might be powerless against it.
This incident is undeniably serious.
Several students who knew the situation spread the word, and since the students in the academy were already quite skilled, they naturally sensed the demonic power, albeit subtly.
……
Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly that the students in the academy soon learned about the demonic power, causing the instructors to panic.
This is no small matter. These students are arrogant and proud; there's no guarantee they won't disobey the rules and overestimate their abilities to exorcise the demon.
In that case, we will lose one genius after another, and there are precedents for this.
The already overwhelmed mentor in the council chamber became even more agitated as he listened to the reports from his subordinates.
"Damn it, who was the tutor of the students last night? Why didn't we warn them not to talk nonsense!"
A burly man cursed and swore, his face full of anger, as he glared at the group of instructors and shouted loudly.
"This isn't a question of whether we can hide it or not. The students in the academy are all quite strong, and they must have vaguely sensed that demonic power as well. We can't hide it from them, so it's better to explain things clearly to avoid more casualties!"
Ji Yu said calmly, looking at the middle-aged man with utmost respect: "The most urgent task is to send someone to explain the seriousness of the matter to them and tell them not to act rashly."
“Now that a monster has infiltrated the Royal Academy, it will inevitably endanger the safety of other students. I think it is necessary to strengthen nighttime security patrols to prevent the monster from appearing again and to prevent it from having another opportunity to take advantage of the situation.” The instructor in charge of the academy’s security spoke first.
"Principal, according to what Lao Wu said, I think we should start by investigating the background of that monster with every student who comes to study. It seems that the monster is still lurking in the academy."
One of the instructors stood up indignantly and said that he had been teaching at the college for more than 20 years and had never encountered such a thing before, so he couldn't wait to express his opinion.
"By the way, we can focus our investigation on students who got in through connections. They generally haven't undergone the school's rigorous testing, and we don't know much about their backgrounds. The chances of a monster disguised as one of them are much greater."
"But this would create anxiety among the students and negatively impact the college. Besides, those students who were recommended for admission all come from wealthy and influential families; there's no guarantee they won't object to the screening."
The middle-aged man nodded. His concerns were not unfounded. Since its founding, the Royal Academy had relied on its reputation and trust. If this trust were lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The only way now is for us to find a way to make the monster think it knows nothing, and then find an opportunity to bring it to justice."
Perhaps because of the students, most people were more concerned about Feng Jiutian and the Seventh Prince sharing a bed.
For a time, countless people envied the Seventh Prince and were jealous that he could obtain Feng Jiutian in such a way.
Feng Jiutian is usually aloof and rarely shows any significant emotional fluctuations, which gives her a unique, cool aura. Combined with her beautiful face, she is extremely eye-catching.
Her decisiveness in battle and her ability to remain calm and joking afterward have drawn the attention of countless men, both openly and secretly, who have fallen for her.
Unfortunately, Feng Jiutian rarely interacts with anyone except the Seventh Prince, which leads to some people being unable to obtain what they desire.
How many hearts must have been broken when this news came out?
Feng Jiutian knew nothing about what was happening at the academy.
At this moment, she had just withdrawn her spiritual power and felt completely powerless, unable to muster any strength.
"What happened last night that injured you so badly?" The Seventh Prince helped Feng Jiutian up, frowning slightly as he asked with some concern.
Feng Jiutian shook his head.
She inexplicably didn't want anyone to know about Mo Shaoxie's affairs.
At the same time, she suspected that the source of that demonic power was Mo Shaoxie...
In the Imperial Preceptor's residence, a dark figure silently slipped through the crowd and landed in the courtyard.
There was a tall man in the courtyard. When he saw the dark figure approaching, he bowed slightly and said respectfully, "My lord has been waiting for a long time. Please come to me quickly."
The shadowy figure followed the man into the house. Inside, a man was leisurely drinking tea, not even lifting his eyelids when he saw the shadowy figure approaching.
