111: Special alert, mind control method!!

The gentle sunlight softly illuminated Tianxing City.

It seemed to have dispersed a lot of the wisps of black Evil Qi that permeated the space between heaven and earth.

The entire Tianxing City looked harmonious.

However, this harmony and quietness never seemed to last long in Tianxing City.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly.

A series of urgent alarm sounds instantly spread from a corner of Tianxing City, directly echoing throughout the entire Tianxing City.

And upon hearing these urgent alarm sounds, countless Tianxing Residents, no matter what they were doing, put down their tasks at this moment and collectively looked towards the direction of Tianxing City near the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

“Special-grade alarm… something happened at the Tianxing Great Wall?”

Someone murmured softly.

The next moment, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly reverberated above Tianxing City, and then figures could be seen flying through the air, treading the Void Realm, and rushing towards the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

“Tianxing Army First Legion, assemble!”

A powerful voice suddenly boomed throughout Tianxing City.

Immediately after, a series of other voices echoed.

“Tianxing Army Second Legion, assemble!”

“Tianxing Army Third Legion, assemble!”

“Tianxing Army, Special Scout Battalion, assemble!”

“Tianxing Army…”

A series of voices boomed out in an orderly fashion, carrying a hint of Evil Qi from blood and fire.

Meanwhile, at the Star Academy, an old voice also rang out at this time.

“Students of Star Academy, listen up!”

“All above the Viscera Refining Realm, assemble immediately and proceed to the Tianxing Great Wall. An urgent special mission has been issued, mission Rank A. No mistakes allowed!”

As this old voice sounded, a series of laughter echoed throughout the Star Academy.

“Tsk tsk tsk, finally a mission! I’ve been so idle in the academy lately, I’m practically growing mold!”

“This is an A-Rank mission! If I complete this, I’ll be able to gather enough resources to Break through my cultivation!”

“Hahaha, brothers, I’m heading out first!”

A series of excited voices rang out from various corners of the Star Academy.

Figures of young men and women wearing Star Academy uniforms instantly rushed out of the Star Academy gate, heading towards the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

At the Star Academy gate.

Old Wang walked out of the guardroom, looking towards the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Otherworldly Demons invading at this time? Didn't they just invade a few days ago? Why are they coming again so quickly this time?”

“Strange!”

Old Wang shook his head in confusion, but after pondering for a moment, he still took a step and walked out of the Star Academy.

“What happened?”

Outside the dormitory, Lu Sheng and a few others from the forty-fifth batch gathered. They watched the seniors continuously rushing out of the Star Academy, their eyes filled with confusion.

“I've heard the sound of a special-grade alarm before. I guess something must have happened at the Tianxing Great Wall!”

Lu Sheng looked at the figures in the sky and couldn't help but say.

“Tianxing Great Wall…”

The faces of the other four also suddenly sank.

Although they had returned from the Tianxing Great Wall many days ago, the memory of that place was still deeply etched in their hearts.

“These damned Otherworldly Demons!”

A hint of killing intent appeared on Gu Yun’s proud face.

“So, what should we do?”

“From Teacher Li's words, it seems we're not yet qualified to go to the Tianxing Great Wall!”

Long Tianxing scratched his head, asking somewhat puzzled.

Teacher Li only allowed students above the Viscera Refining Realm to go, and even issued a special A-Rank mission, which was not something they could get involved in.

“What else can we do? Guard the academy!”

Yu Qianqian said irritably.

Clearly, in such a situation, Martial Artists at the Star Academy who had not yet reached the Viscera Refining Realm could only serve as academy guards.

Just as the youngsters were discussing, Lan Zhan's figure also appeared outside the dormitory. Seeing the five of them, Lan Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked over and said with a serious expression.

“You five, just stay obediently in the Star Academy. Don't make any other moves. Guard the academy well, understand?”

Listening to Lan Zhan's words, Yu Qianqian's face showed an expression of 'I knew it'.

“Teacher… can't we participate?”

Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Lu Sheng currently had no good feelings for the Otherworldly Demons!

Lan Zhan glanced at Lu Sheng and said indifferently: “A special-grade alarm means that without cultivation above the Viscera Refining Realm, you're just cannon fodder, just seeking death!”

“Besides, nothing has happened to the Star Academy and the Tianxing Army yet; it's not your turn to fight!”

When Lan Zhan said these words, there was a clear hint of dominance.

“Alright, you just honestly guard the Star Academy. A few other seniors will also be stationed here to guard the academy.”

“This Otherworldly Demon invasion is really too strange; it came without any warning.”

“The Dean suspects…”

Lan Zhan spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the five youngsters immediately showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

They were already a bit annoyed that they weren't qualified to enter the Tianxing Great Wall. After all, having become Martial Artists, especially students of the Star Academy, they all wanted to fight and kill Otherworldly Demons on the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

However, due to their cultivation and late enrollment, their strength was not yet sufficient to support them in fighting on the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

Therefore, they were a bit frustrated.

And with Lan Zhan saying that, their inner enthusiasm was also ignited at this moment.

Looking at the eager expressions in their eyes, Lan Zhan was also a bit helpless and couldn't help but instruct: “Let me make this clear first, you must guard the Star Academy. Even if something else happens in Tianxing City, you cannot leave the Star Academy, understand?!”

Lan Zhan's expression was slightly serious.

“Why? Are we just supposed to stay in the Star Academy and watch Tianxing City fall into trouble?”

Long Tianxing couldn't help but frown and ask.

Lan Zhan took a deep look at the five youngsters and said in a deep voice: “Do as I say! Even if the entire Tianxing City falls into trouble, no one can be allowed into the Star Academy, understand?!”

These words made Lu Sheng and the other four look at each other in dismay.

“So… does the Star Academy have something important?”

Lu Sheng murmured softly.

Lan Zhan glanced at Lu Sheng and said indifferently: “Some things, you will naturally know after a period of settling down, but definitely not now!”

“In any case, do as I say. No matter what happens, the Star Academy must not fall into trouble!”

The five nodded.

Seeing the five respond, Lan Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief. After glancing at the time, he didn't hesitate and instantly flew towards the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

“Hehe, guarding the academy? It seems we're quite important after all!”

Seeing Lan Zhan leave, Long Tianxing immediately couldn't help but say.

Gu Yun glanced indifferently at Long Tianxing, then sneered: “Important? If the Star Academy is so important, and if something happens to the academy, do you think there won't be any danger?”

“I advise you to extinguish such thoughts. If something really happens, with our combined strength, we wouldn't even be worth a glance!”

Gu Yun's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured mercilessly over Long Tianxing's head.

Completely extinguishing the flame of excitement in his heart.

Long Tianxing lowered his head, muttering: “Then what should we do?!”

Lu Sheng looked around, his gaze involuntarily falling on the Star Academy gate. After pondering for a moment, he said indifferently: “Since there's something important in the academy, we definitely can't let anyone in. Let's guard the entrance!”

“Teacher Lan has left, so I suppose Old Wang and the others also need to go support the Tianxing Great Wall!”

Everyone nodded.

That was the only way.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Star Academy gate, but upon their arrival, they saw an extremely familiar figure at the entrance.

Despite the scorching sun, a person wearing a white fur coat, casually moved a lounge chair and lay down in the center of the Star Academy gate.

“This guy…”

Lu Sheng and the other four looked at the familiar figure before them, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Isn't this Bai Ming, the guy they met when they first came to report to the Star Academy?

I didn't expect to meet again today.

“Fellow junior Martial Artists, we are here to guard the Star Academy. You should all go back and rest first!”

A gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Tianfang appeared beside them at some unknown point, a smile on his face, looking like a refined scholar.

“Senior Zhang!”

The five bowed slightly to Zhang Tianfang.

“Hehe, this guy is right. You should all go back and do whatever you were doing. After all, if something happens to you here… it would be very easy to drag us down!”

Bai Ming, sitting in the rattan chair, turned his head and said with a mischievous look.

As soon as he said this, the expressions of Lu Sheng and the other four became somewhat unpleasant.

Damn it, they were being looked down upon.

“Hmph!”

Gu Yun snorted coldly and walked to the side of the main gate, the chains on his body scraping against the ground, emitting a harsh sound.

He stood at the gate, as if in a fit of pique, like a door god.

“Oh? Quite the temper!”

Bai Ming chewed gum, looking at Gu Yun with a playful expression.

“Alright, alright, do whatever you want. Just don’t cry if something happens and you can’t win!”

Bai Ming chuckled and lay back down on the rattan chair.

“You…”

Facing Bai Ming’s words, Gu Yun seemed extremely angry, but upon sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, Gu Yun also fell silent.

“Since none of you want to leave, then stay here. Although this Otherworldly Demon invasion is a bit strange, it doesn't necessarily mean anything will happen!”

Zhang Tianfang glanced helplessly at the mischievous Bai Ming and the sulking Gu Yun, then said.

Lu Sheng and the others also nodded.

It wasn't that they didn't want to go back, but the sudden alarm from the Tianxing Great Wall had made them lose the desire to cultivate in their dormitories.

“Senior, do you really think someone would be so foolish as to attack our Star Academy?”

Long Tianxing couldn't help but ask.

You know, this was the Star Academy!

It had countless powerful individuals stationed here. Even if the Tianxing Great Wall needed support, most of the Star Academy’s powerful individuals would have to go to the Tianxing Great Wall.

However, there was still some foundation within the Academy, more or less.

Who would dare to openly attack the Star Academy like this?

Zhang Tianfang shook his head and said with a smile, “This is just a guess from Teacher Lan and the others after all. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, and no one is actually going to attack.”

“It’s just that the Academy has many secrets, so it's always better to be cautious.”

Listening to Zhang Tianfang’s words, everyone also nodded.

Everyone accepted Zhang Tianfang’s explanation. Although this Otherworldly Demon invasion was a bit strange, it could just be a coincidence.

They were just doing this to nip trouble in the bud.

They only needed to do what they should, and wait for the situation at the Tianxing Great Wall to resolve, then things would settle down.

However… Lu Sheng frowned slightly, looking outside the main gate of the Star Academy.

The Star Academy was powerful, but did no one really dare to attack it?

Don't forget… even for someone like Kong Yunchang, one of the Ten Saints of Great Xia, those people dared to make a move!

Although Kong Yunchang was injured, he was definitely not someone an ordinary person could scheme against.

Yet, the Demonic Cult still made a move.

He didn't know why, but Lu Sheng had a premonition that perhaps… this Otherworldly Demon invasion was also related to those scoundrels!

…With the assembly of the Tianxing Army, the defensive strength throughout Tianxing City was somewhat weakened.

Only a small portion remained to guard the city, along with some Tianxing Residents still in the city.

And on the street, a middle-aged man walked aimlessly, his eyes vacant, appearing extremely out of place.

“Isn’t that Old Li? What’s wrong with him?”

Around him, some Tianxing Residents who recognized the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask in confusion.

“Hey, Old Li! What are you doing?!”

“There’s an alarm now, what are you still wandering around the street for?! Hurry back home! If something happens to Tianxing City, we need to be prepared!”

However, the middle-aged man called Old Li seemed not to hear the voices around him, still walking on his own towards a certain direction.

For a moment, the surrounding people became even more puzzled.

However, soon, they saw an even stranger sight.

When Old Li reached a small intersection, he suddenly saw several other Tianxing Residents, just like him, walking aimlessly on the street like zombies.

Eventually, they gathered together and then walked uniformly in a certain direction.

At that moment, the surrounding Tianxing Residents also noticed a sense of unease.

“Wait, something’s wrong with them!”

A Tianxing Resident spoke at this moment, his expression somewhat grave.

Tianxing Residents were either retired Tianxing Army personnel or some eliminated individuals from the Star Academy.

Therefore, they could naturally detect strange occurrences.

So, when they saw this scene before them, they immediately reacted.

“Their direction… it seems to be the Star Academy!!”

Someone, observing the direction these strange Tianxing Residents were walking, as if discovering something, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

“Damn it, what’s wrong with them?!”

“No, we must stop them! If they reach the Star Academy, who knows what will happen!!”

Someone said in a deep voice.

Immediately, one Tianxing Resident after another instantly made a move, trying to stop these zombie-like Tianxing Residents.

But just as they made their move, scarlet light instantly flickered in the eyes of those zombie-like Tianxing Residents.

Following that, they also directly attacked.

Rumble!!!

Powerful forces instantly erupted from their bodies.

They mercilessly attacked the Tianxing Residents who were trying to stop them.

“Damn it! Old Li, you even attacked me! What the hell is wrong with you?!!”

Someone roared.

Among these zombie-like Tianxing Residents, there were naturally some familiar faces to those around them. And when those familiar faces saw their former friends mercilessly attacking them at this moment…

Their hearts sank sharply.

“When did you betray Tianxing City, and why are you doing such a thing?!!”

“No! Something’s wrong!! Their aura is wrong!!”

Suddenly, a relatively older Tianxing Resident, observing these zombie-like Tianxing Residents, his pupils slightly constricted.

“They have the Evil Qi of the Demonic Cult on them!!”

“This is the Demonic Cult’s Heart Control Technique!!”

“They’ve been controlled!!!”

The person shouted, and the expressions of the surrounding Tianxing Residents instantly changed.

The Demonic Cult’s Heart Control Technique!

They naturally knew about it.

However, the Heart Control Technique required physical contact, and these Tianxing Residents rarely went out, so they naturally had little contact with outsiders.

When did they come into contact with people from the Demonic Cult?

Could it be… a powerful Demonic Cult member had infiltrated Tianxing City?

For a moment, the expressions of many Tianxing Residents turned grim.

“Damn it, I knew this sudden top-level alert was suspicious. I didn’t expect it to be those rats from the Demonic Cult!!”

Someone’s face was extremely ugly.

But at this moment, there was no time for them to dwell on it. They could only act, trying to suppress these controlled Tianxing Residents.

They absolutely could not let them get half a step closer to the Star Academy!

Meanwhile, in a hotel room.

Zhao Changsheng stood on the balcony, watching Tianxing Residents actively trying to stop the controlled individuals, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“If you want to control them, how can you do it without finding me first?”

As he spoke, wisps of red threads suddenly spread out from his body, like tentacles, dancing in the air.
