Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

"The Academy's law enforcement team? Why are they here?"

Ning Ruyue was most familiar with the name of the law enforcement team. She hid behind the tree almost reflexively and stuck half of her head out.

This is the experience she has accumulated as a frequent visitor to the confinement room.

Su Yunru was the dean of the academy, so naturally he didn't have the time to look for her all over the academy after she got into trouble. So when she encountered a problem, she would run away, and after half a day, the dean's anger would subside.

But later, the dean saw through Ning Ruyue's conspiracy, and whenever this "favorite disciple" committed a crime, he would directly send the law enforcement team to arrest him.

"They don't seem to be coming for us."

After observing for a while, Ning Ruyue concluded, "It doesn't take so many people to catch us."

So, who is there on the back mountain at this moment?

Several people looked at each other and thought of the answer at the same time.

Teacher Mingyuan.

The academy’s law enforcement team is heading for Teacher Ming Yuan!

Thanks to Mingmingzhong for the reward of 100 Starting Point Coins!

Chapter 108: Facing the Evil

When the law enforcement team surrounded Duan Mingyuan and Chen Chou as if they were facing a great enemy, the topic they were discussing had made new progress.

Chen Chou's experience and the knowledge he learned gave him great inspiration.

In Chen Chou's words, his barrier was innate. The moment the blood sacrifice ceremony was completed, the power to bring death was already imprinted in his life energy. All he did was use this power at will.

This aroused Duan Mingyuan's strong interest in the blood sacrifice ritual.

He has eyes that are good at seeing the essence through phenomena.

According to his understanding, the main purpose of sacrificing life in a blood sacrifice ritual is to gather the life energy of the sacrificers through a certain ritual and concentrate it on the new life form. Chen Chou's life energy was piled up by the sacrificers.

Born powerful and inheriting the knowledge and hatred of the martyrs, they firmly believe that Chen Chou can inherit their will and take revenge on the aliens.

But through the conversation Duan Mingyuan discovered that the person who performed the blood sacrifice ceremony actually did not know what kind of creation would come out of this ceremony.

Everything depends on imagination.

This made Duan Mingyuan understand more deeply the despair of the people who were imprisoned in the dark prison by their trusted friends. Even a glimmer of hope was enough to make them give up their lives and throw themselves into the blood sacrifice ceremony like moths to a flame.

After finishing a cup of osmanthus wine, perhaps because he couldn't hold his liquor, Chen Chou spoke out some of his innermost thoughts.

Although he had always spoken harshly to all the successive deans of Yunhai Academy, he had been wavering on the question of whether to take revenge on the academy after escaping from the prison.

On the one hand, he was furious at his friend's betrayal, but on the other hand, he could understand why his friend forbade him from studying trickery.

Especially after the fight with Duan Mingyuan, Chen Chou further understood that even if all the knowledge and strength of everyone were gathered, it would not be enough to truly shake "God".

Reason made Chen Chou understand that if they had not been imprisoned in the Hell, Yunhai Academy would have been razed to the ground by people in the court hundreds of years ago, and it would have been impossible for it to wait until the day when Duan Mingyuan arrived.

What Duan Mingyuan was interested in was the connection of life energy brought about by the blood sacrifice ceremony.

Most of the students in the academy were at the stage of trainee hunters, and their life energy was so weak that it could be ignored. Under such circumstances, even he could hardly make the students make rapid progress in a short period of time.

But if we could somehow bring together the life energies of the students, we could create a group that could rival Chenchou.

This may be the key to the academy's counterattack in the upcoming invasion.

The team position that Duan Mingyuan applied for is auxiliary and therapeutic. He hopes to see his students resolve this crisis through their own efforts.

But the academy's law enforcement team arrived at a really bad time.

At that time, Duan Mingyuan and Chen Chou happened to be discussing "Is it possible to expand the blood sacrifice ceremony to the entire academy?" Before he could even say "find a way to eliminate the side effects of the blood sacrifice ceremony," he was surrounded by the terrified law enforcement team.

The new Defense Against Evil spirits teacher finally revealed his true purpose!

He wants to sacrifice the entire academy in blood!

No wonder he went to so much trouble to release the evil spirits from the Netherworld. After all, Chen Chou is probably the only one who understands the blood sacrifice ritual now!

It all connects.

The members of the law enforcement team saw through Duan Mingyuan's true colors.

This person is indeed not an insider sent by the court, but an evil demon who wants to sacrifice everyone with blood before the people in the court!

"I'll hold this devil back, you guys go and report to the dean!"

The captain of the law enforcement team shouted angrily and hugged Duan Mingyuan tightly, looking like he was ready to die bravely.

"You misunderstood. I was just discussing the academic issue of gathering life energy with the teaching assistant."

Duan Mingyuan explained, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Chen Chou. He has lived for hundreds of years and would not deceive young people like you."

"Humph."

Chen Chou snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What a bunch of idiots! If he wanted to attack you, you would have been dead before you even got close."

He was too lazy to pay attention to the law enforcement team, nor was he too lazy to waste time on ants. The academic discussion just now made him interested in exploration again after a long time. After many years, Chen Chou finally waited for someone who could discuss issues with him on the same level. Even in the use of barriers and life energy, Duan Mingyuan was one step ahead of him.

He also thought that Duan Mingyuan's deconstruction of the blood sacrifice ritual was a brilliant idea. "The blood sacrifice ritual is to allow life energy to merge, so it is necessary to ensure that every sacrificed person is willing to give up his life."

Hearing this, the captain of the law enforcement team suddenly realized.

Now even Duan Mingyuan's motives for sneaking into the academy as a teacher and doing a series of things that seemed to be intended to save the academy are clear!

If he wanted the teachers and students of the academy to voluntarily give up their lives and participate in the blood sacrifice ceremony, he must first gain the trust of everyone.

"you--!"

Duan Mingyuan's eyelids twitched violently several times.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Chou's two sentences when read separately, but when put together they will cause huge ambiguity.

If he didn't understand Chen Chou's character, he would have thought that the other party did it on purpose, but in fact he could see that Chen Chou was really immersed in the possibility of deconstructing the blood sacrifice ritual and didn't want the law enforcement team to disturb their discussion.

"You go back first, I'll come see you later."

Duan Mingyuan took a deep breath and said.

Chen Chou stood up somewhat unhappily, glared at the law enforcement officers with a ferocious look, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and flew towards the direction of the Nether Prison.

After the black smoke disappeared, Duan Mingyuan said, "Can you please stop hugging me?"

The law enforcement captain is a big and strong man. I don’t know if it’s because of the excessive pressure recently, but he has neglected his personal hygiene and he smells of sweat.

Duan Mingyuan could clearly see the dust on the other person's uniform from this angle, and his blood pressure suddenly soared by 20 points.

"cannot!"

The law enforcement captain shouted, not only did he not let go, but he hugged her even tighter, even putting his entire weight on her.

This made Duan Mingyuan frown even deeper.

The reason why the law enforcement captain was able to hug him was because he did not show any malice, and his passive ability did not regard this behavior as an attack.

The law enforcement captain raised his head and said in the toughest tone, "My legs are weak and I can't stand."

Letting the other team members escape and facing the evil demon who intended to sacrifice the entire academy alone had exhausted all his courage. He could no longer think of confronting the evil demon with a sword, and could only use his body to open a way for his subordinates to survive.

"This is the last warning. Now let me go and I will go with you to see the dean."

Duan Mingyuan looked stern, "Otherwise, don't blame me for throwing all of you into the bathhouse."

Chapter 109 Ascension to the Hall

After hearing the captain's explanation, Duan Mingyuan understood the reason for the tense atmosphere.

The person who mobilized them was Chu Xingluo, the dean of the chess academy.

A teaching accident occurred at the end of the advanced class, and the last sword that fell from the clouds shattered the scroll world. As a result, an extremely strange scene formed in the eyes of the teachers and students of the academy who did not know the cause and effect - a sword shadow that enveloped the entire Qingchi Peak suddenly appeared in the sky above their heads and smashed towards them without warning.

Although this sword did not cause any substantial damage, it made everyone in the academy feel insecure, and they all suspected that the assassin organization sent by the court was trying to break through the barrier with forceful means.

The law enforcement team was ordered to "invite" Duan Mingyuan to come down the mountain. Coincidentally, they heard the two men's discussion about the blood sacrifice ceremony when they approached, which further deepened their prejudice against the new teacher.

Duan Mingyuan always believes that misunderstandings can always be resolved through effective communication.

He simply lifted the law enforcement captain by the collar and threw him into the academy's bathhouse. The other team members put aside their prejudices, calmed down and listened carefully to his explanation, and agreed to follow him to the dean to resolve all misunderstandings.

But there are also misunderstandings in this world that cannot be resolved through communication, just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Bringing in Chen Chou as an assistant coach completely blocks the traitor's last chance. With nowhere else to go, the traitor will probably resort to some desperate measures.

The destination of this trip is the academy hall.

This was also established by the founders of the academy and is not usually used.

Only when extremely treacherous and evil people appeared in the academy would there be a ceremony to bring them to the court. According to Chen Chou's recollection, during the hundreds of years that he had been in the prison, extremely treacherous and evil people would occasionally be imprisoned in the prison, and there were many among them who wanted to escape from prison with him, but these people really had no skills, and most of them were quickly driven crazy, and then died in depression in the prison.

Compared with Chen Chou, human lifespan is too short. In just a few decades, it turns into a pile of bones.

Today, Duan Mingyuan became the first person to appear in court in nearly a hundred years.

In addition to the deans of the four colleges, the teachers of the academy also gathered here. When he walked in, the hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Duan Mingyuan looked at this grand scene with great interest. In fact, he had never even been to a court during his entire journey.

The persons responsible for maintaining order in the court were naturally the deans of the four academies. They sat in a line at the front of the court, with portraits of the four founders of Yunhai Academy hung behind them.

Following Dean Mo Song's order, a glowing mesh barrier blocked the way.

The dean of the chess academy, Chu Xingluo, spoke first and questioned, "Teacher Mingyuan, you were the one who caused the commotion in the back mountain just now, right?"

"Yes, I reported it to Dean Mosong before the class started."

Duan Mingyuan admitted openly, "This is to help the students in the advanced class better understand the barrier and set goals for them, because I found in the large class that the students in the academy have no foundation on how to build a barrier."

"Not only that, you also released the evil spirit imprisoned in the Hell."

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in the court.

:; Most of the teachers and students of the academy graduated from the four colleges. They had heard about the horror of the Nether Prison as early as their student days. The source of all the horror rumors pointed to the evil spirits sealed in the deepest part of the Nether Prison. They were the sinners who had survived since the founding of the academy.

“I think the knowledge that Mr. Chen Qiu knows is most likely to help students improve.”

Duan Mingyuan believes that his theoretical knowledge is not as solid as his practical experience, which is why he hopes to hold academic seminars whenever he has the opportunity.

Facts proved that his judgment was correct. Although Mr. Chen Chou's mouth was as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit, the blood sacrifice ritual he mentioned did bring a breakthrough to the "Defense Against Evil Spirits Course".

The future teaching idea for large classes is to gather the life energy of every student and help them build a shared barrier together.

"As you can see, Mr. Mingyuan does not deny that he released the evil spirits from the Nether Prison."

Chu Xingluo said coldly.

The interrogation seemed to go too smoothly. Duan Mingyuan did not try to hide anything, but frankly admitted what he had done in front of everyone.

It would be easy as long as Duan Mingyuan admitted this fact.

Since ancient times, the Netherworld has been a taboo topic in academies. Not to mention releasing the evil spirits inside, approaching the Netherworld without permission is a serious crime.

"Teacher Mingyuan also reported this matter to me. I brought him there personally."

Mo Song spoke up.

He did not deny Duan Mingyuan's idea of ​​small class teaching, and he believed that Duan Mingyuan could manage his own class well, but he did not exaggerate the matter or make it public.

Mo Song knew very well that changing people's mindsets would not be achieved overnight. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that someone could remove the seal with bare hands, drag the evil spirits transformed by the sinners out of the wooden house, and force them to submit by force.

Even if he told everyone present what happened in the Nether Prison now, it would probably just be regarded as a made-up story.

There will definitely be conspiracy theorists who believe that all this is a show jointly performed by the evil spirit and Duan Mingyuan, with the purpose of breaking the seal of the wooden house.

In fact, if the academy was not in a precarious situation, he would not have taken such a huge risk.

"It just shows that there might be disagreements between us."

Chu Xingluo seemed to have expected Mo Song to say this. He refuted calmly, "According to the tradition of the academy, if the deans of the four colleges cannot reach a consensus on an important decision of a department, they must convene all teachers and students to vote in the presence of the ancestors."

Mo Song's face changed slightly. This was also the selfish reason why he didn't want to escalate the matter.
