Volume 13: The Son of Darkness, the Lord of the Netherworld, the Happy One Chapter 26 Exposed
Lu Mei's trip attracted a lot of people's attention.
To some extent, she has become a signboard of the college.
An orphan, he taught himself, traveled across the empire to study, and eventually became a middle or senior member of the academy.
The labels brought by these experiences have attracted more attention to her.
Therefore, this trip back home also touched the hearts of many people.
The key point is that although Lu Mei is not from the empire, she is from the soul beast leader next to the empire.
She just needed to cross the empire, but this very crossing caused many problems.
If Lu Mei is a citizen of the Empire, then the Empire will have many plans to implement for Lu Mei.
But Lu Mei is not like that. Instead, she wants to cross the empire. This journey is equivalent to a parade of the top scholar, allowing many people to see the scenery here.
People from the Imperial Academy hope that this will be more glorious, while the Church wants to turn Lu Mei, a role model, into a specimen in the process.
The imperial family, on the other hand, was caught in a dilemma.
Since the person is not your own, you cannot use certain means to deal with him, otherwise it will easily cause a diplomatic incident.
But people had to pass through their place, and it would cause a duel between the two largest forces in the empire. They wished that Lu Mei had died in the chaos when she went there.
Now we can only find a way to accommodate Lu Mei’s schedule.
The royal family made up their mind that it was better to have less trouble than more.
Lu Mei is passing by. She must not die. If she does, a diplomatic incident will inevitably occur.
In addition, the cult has been particularly active during this period and has caused a lot of trouble, which has made the royal family feel that they need to crack down on the cult's power.
The most important thing is to keep things within reasonable limits.
If Lu Mei succeeds in getting through, the biggest impact she'll have is that some people will identify more with the academic school, and more people will go abroad to study.
Once Lu Mei was killed, it would most likely be the fuse of war.
Therefore, the choice in this matter is actually very clear, which is to allow things to transition smoothly.
They neither publicized it nor ignored it. Instead, they secretly sent people to protect and prevent the cult members from causing trouble.
At the border city gate, Lu Mei was received by local officials and nobles.
Without waiting too long, after exchanging greetings for a while, they sat on the magic-powered car and headed towards their home.
But his eyes glanced slightly towards a small alley in the distance.
She found that there were quite a few people following her there.
And it is very likely that the person is a master who is better than her. If her spiritual body was not a source beast, and if she was not standing at the entrance to the Dream Stairs, she might not be able to find the other party.
"He should be an expert sent by the royal family." Lu Mei roughly confirmed the other party's condition in her mind, and then didn't care.
As for the academicians, they are still in her convoy.
The academicians of the Empire were essentially former students of the First Academy. After they had completed their studies, they returned to their own countries.
Then he founded various colleges in his own country. Although they are not as good as the First College, they are also developing slowly.
It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but right now the relationship between the Academy and the First Academy is still very close, and they often send people there for exchanges and learning.
Some teachers and professors from the First College are sometimes invited to this college to teach the students here.
Under such circumstances, Lu Mei's arrival also attracted many people to come and accompany her.
These people even asked Lu Mei to call them senior brothers and seniors.
Anyway, the relationship is here. They also told Lu Mei that they would help curb the power of the cult and would never let any troubles come to the cult.
Of course, this matter is actually hard to say. Defense is always a disadvantage, so they also sent some people to mix in with the escort team.
Lu Mei had no choice but to agree to this, but she did not completely trust the academic school here.
It is true that the academic school and the academy have a close relationship, but the two are not in the same camp after all.
Besides, wasn’t the previous incident in Chaos Territory also caused by people from the Academy Territory ?
Many people had already defected, and the college leaders were unable to find out.
The Chaos Territory is closer to the academy, so things like this can still happen there. Who knows if there have been any traitors infiltrating the Imperial Academy over the years.
Lu Mei didn't dare to completely rely on the protection of these people for her own safety. Hiding in a mine for a year was something she had done once, and she didn't want to do it a second time.
So, although she looked very glorious on the surface, she secretly kept to herself a certain secret skill that she had recently acquired.
The journey seemed really peaceful, and there was a lot of news coming from the academic faction. For example, the sect organized several waves of people, but they were all intercepted by the people from the academic faction.
At the same time, the academic faction also took the initiative to carry out activities in several important strongholds of the sect.
In this way, most of the cult's members can be restrained.
The royal family also provided some assistance in this process, involving the cult's personnel through some royal tasks.
But the calmer it is, the more unpredictable it is to imagine how earth-shattering things will be when they break out.
The people in the academic school naturally knew this. Instead of being blindly optimistic, they stepped up their monitoring efforts to find the hidden masters of the cult.
There was even a direct conflict with the cult in one place. Some white gloves hired by the academy raided the cult's secret base in another place and killed most of the cult members there.
Through this incident, many members of the sect were attracted over.
They have no choice but to go. If they don't deal with this blatant slap in the face, then where will they put their faith?
Therefore, the academic faction’s handling of the matter this time was very good, and it looked like the cult really had no way of stopping the process.
This seemed to be the case. Lu Mei successfully crossed the empire. During the whole process, no one from the cult appeared in front of her. It seemed that they were all intercepted by the academic faction.
Then, as she crossed the border and arrived at the Soul Beast Territory, she discovered that her hometown had turned into ruins.
There were ruins and broken limbs everywhere.
Some of the corpses had already rotted and smelled, with maggots crawling on them, as if mocking how late they were.
"This... is impossible!" The face of the academic contact in the team changed, becoming extremely ugly, and he kept saying it was impossible.
They had expected that the members of the cult would carry out the assassination after leaving the border of the empire, but they did not expect that they would directly massacre Lu Mei's hometown before that.
This kind of thing is beyond ordinary people's understanding.
While taking lukewarm action against the real enemy, they secretly massacred the enemy's hometown.
It’s not that they didn’t send people to the Soul Beast Territory, but no information was passed out.
In addition, their focus has always been on Lu Mei, so they have somewhat neglected this side.
"What about those soul beasts? Why would they allow these people from the cult to do this?"
Some people are also full of confusion.
The reason why the Soul Beast Territory is called the Soul Beast Territory is said to be that decades ago, the soul beasts and the humans here united to overthrow a religious sect.
Then the soul beasts reached an agreement with the humans here, that is, to help each other. The soul beasts will not harass humans, and will help the humans in this area maintain independence. At the same time, the humans here also need to help the soul beasts to purchase various items from humans.
Soul beasts are divided into tribes. Their intelligence is no less than that of humans, but the number of a single tribe has always been difficult to increase.
Moreover, it is very difficult for soul beasts to reproduce naturally. They can only rely on the operation of the contemporary world to give birth to various soul beasts. Only the soul beast master can give soul beasts the ability to reproduce.
This also determines that it is difficult for soul beasts to form a society.
If the social system cannot be built, various industrial products will be difficult to manufacture and we can only trade with humans.
Therefore, this territory was guarded by soul beasts and governed by humans.
In addition, the empire also needs some resources from soul beasts, and the power of soul beasts is indeed not weak.
Therefore, during the establishment of the empire, the Soul Beast Territory maintained its independence and was not swallowed up by the empire.
In this case, how did the cult overcome the power of the soul beasts and slaughter most of the humans here led by the soul beasts?
And after taking a few steps forward, the answer was given.
I saw countless flags hanging on the main city in the distance.
Each flag represents a religious order.
There are actually only two or three main religious sects on the Empire side, and they are brother sects. Although they do not believe in the same God, they seem to have a very close relationship.
And now, there are more than a few cult flags here. With so many cults, even the empire would probably choose to bow its head and admit defeat in this situation.
The group was now ready to retreat.
However, without knowing when, many people had instantly appeared in front of them from afar.
"Space jump, at this distance, they are at the dream level!"
The so-called space jumping ability is actually the same ability as the flashing that Lu Mei used before.
They all make use of the overlap of boundary layers, and then use the changes in the spiritual body to push the errors of the boundary layers to complete the flashing teleportation.
Lu Mei was able to do this because of her source beast's spiritual body, which could greatly enhance her.
The reason these people were able to do this was because they had already reached the Dream Stage, so they were able to expand the ritual field to such a large size and form an extremely long space jump.
The people from the academic school could only gather and look at the members of these sects, with fear written all over their faces.
"It's her!" One of them looked through the magic-powered carriage and said directly after seeing Lu Mei, completely ignoring the members of the academic faction around them.
Although the academicians are strong, their strength is limited. They are just a faction of an empire.
Even though it is the First Academy, it is only unique within the academy and can fight back and forth with several surrounding religious forces.
There are hundreds of cults, some of which are as powerful as the academy leaders. It’s just that due to geographical reasons, they didn’t rush over to kill us.
Judging from the number of these people now, even if hundreds of cults have come, probably almost as many.
"Tell us where Zizaitian is!" One of them even released the ritual venue. The mysterious and ethereal aura was suppressed, making it difficult for many people around to move.
Especially within these auras, there are some indescribable and ineffable powers that bring them extreme fear.
At the moment, the people in the cult still looked like human beings, but in their gradually blurred eyes, huge monsters like the starry sky seemed to emerge behind them.
Lu Mei also felt her whole body trembling at this time.
The aura that she sensed in the mine at the beginning is now different in each of these people.
In other words, these people are now enemies of Lu Bai and Lu Zhu.
Perhaps it was because Lu Zhu’s identity was exposed, that is, the so-called Zizai Tian, that so many high-ranking members of the sect appeared here.
Lu Mei didn't say anything. She didn't know where Lu Zhu was. She had been in the orphanage for so many years and had never seen a person named Lu Zhu.
Although he learned from Lu Bai that his birth was closely related to Lu Zhu.
But that's all I know.
Maybe these people in front of her know more than her.
"Although I knew this kind of trouble would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come so soon!" Lu Mei sighed and glanced at the people around her.
Her figure disappeared in an instant.
As she disappeared, the masters of the cult that had gathered around her immediately chased after her, completely ignoring the academy's guards.
The so-called interests of this dimensional world have no meaning to them.
Zizaitian and Lu Bai are the focus of everything.
They didn't know much about Lu Mei's situation. At present, it seemed that she was just an individual created by Lu Zhu using some of Lu Bai's characteristics.
He is just a human ghost with some talent, which means he is nothing to challengers like them.
But if Lu Zhu did this, there must be some secret behind it.
In fact, Lu Zhu was exposed largely due to Lu Mei's fame.
After Lu Mei's fame entered the cult's field of vision, a divine individual immediately saw through the relationship between Lu Mei and Lu Bai.
Then Lu Mei's past immediately appeared in front of many challengers from the human world.
In the end, Lu Zhu Zizai Tian was exposed, especially Rodella. He only realized at this time that the failure of his previous divine descent was due to Zizai Tian's mischief.
Hence this surprise attack.
Lu Mei's return home was just a coincidence.
The main force of the empire's religious group had already arrived in the Soul Beast Territory and began searching for traces of Zizaitian.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find her, so their attention naturally fell on Lu Mei, this special individual.
"She's in the spirit world, go into the spirit world and chase her!"
Lu Mei's method of escape was the secret technique she had just mastered, which allowed her to completely merge herself with her spiritual body and enter the spiritual world completely!
