Directly north of Thunderstone City, there is a clear blue land. The land is wrapped in invisible barriers, and from the outside, only a gray mist can be seen.

But there is a lot of wisdom in the mist, and the exquisite and gorgeous Shengyuan buildings stand in a patchwork on the blue soil.

Between the buildings, there are straight and spacious jade avenues, and the stone slabs are full of thunder. Anyone who steps on the stone slab will be blessed with the power of thunder and will run on the road like a fly.

This is the famous Demon Dao Academy in Thunderstone City, and it is also the best Demon Dao Academy within a radius of thousands of miles.

This Demon Dao Academy has a history of nearly two thousand years—even longer than the Great Qin Empire—and has given birth to double-digit Demon Dao Grandmasters, as well as countless Demon Dao Masters.

Now, this magical academy with a glorious history is opening its doors to a group of outsiders.

Dean Wan Junzhu stood on the rostrum of the college square and delivered a welcome speech in an unnatural voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome several distinguished guests from the Great Qin Empire with warm applause!"

The voice of the Demon Dao Master instantly spread to every corner of the academy.

But of course, there were few applicants, young students, senior teachers, and ordinary people working in the academy as service providers, all of them looked at the group beside Wan Junzhu with indifferent eyes.

Lu Bieli, Bai Xiao, Qingyue, Lan Lan......

Anyone who is already famous in the Shengyuan Empire, and even won a lot of supporters not long ago.

It's just that in the here and now, all the supporters seem to have died out overnight, and the only thing that greets the Qin people is the silent resistance.

For Lu Bieli, this kind of cold reception is very much like an encouragement, because as early as 1800 years ago, after the ancestor Lu Hao led the people of the Western Continent to complete independence, he also crossed the sea of hope to the Shengyuan Empire, hoping to establish normal diplomatic relations with the empire, and it was such indifference that greeted Lu Hao at that time.

Lu Bieli, who has always regarded himself as a descendant of the overlord, finally enjoyed the treatment of the overlord.

In fact, of course, this is not the norm, if it is put in a normal time, even if the Shengyuan people do have portal prejudice, they will not show it so obviously.

After all, the Shengyuan Empire is the origin of the human demonic civilization, and it is also the beacon of civilization progress, and the pride in the hearts of the Shengyuan people makes them accustomed to despise any threat from outsiders, and they don't regard anyone as their opponent at all—after all, the only fiasco was 1,800 years ago.

On the other hand, the moderate expression of friendliness is undoubtedly the embodiment of civilization, and it is also a game of self-absorption that many Shengyuan people are tired of.

However, after a series of natural and man-made disasters, the outer skin of civilization has been lost.

——

In the three days before the academy's welcome ceremony, there was chaos in Thunderstone City.

Following the burning of the city by thunder and the assassination of Ning Xianze, there were many terrorist attacks in Thunderstone City one after another.

The scale of the attacks was small, and the actual damage caused was even smaller: most of them were eliminated in the bud, and only a few times were successfully succeeded by terrorists - for example, an old blacksmith with a small appearance detonated a whole box of unstable ore on the commercial connection road of Thunderstone City, blew up a restaurant, and killed and injured more than 10 people on the spot.

For a city with a population of one million, the number of natural deaths every day is dozens of times that, and even the number of unnatural deaths is not a few. However, the panic effect brought about by the terrorist attack is exponentially magnified in the current Thunderstone City, and it has penetrated into the hearts of almost everyone.

No matter how bitterly Ning Xianze, the guardian of Thunderstone City, tried, and no matter how generously Ding Wanli, the lord of Thunderstone City, a short and fat middle-aged man with a meagre sense of existence, promised generously, people's responses were always cold.

Even the emissaries who rushed from the capital's parliament failed to change people's hearts.

For just as the Emissary was walking up to the Watch Square in Thunderstone City in a state of brilliance, and was about to give a speech, an Assassin appeared beside him.

A musician who is well-known in Thunderstone City stabs the messenger with a dagger in his madness.

Although the helpless entertainer was scorched on the spot by the messenger's body protection magic device, there was no death or injury - except for the perpetrator himself. But a comforting speech carefully prepared by Lei Shicheng was suddenly hit in the face.

Even the envoy's speech became weak, as if he were always worried about a more powerful assassination, and he was not only absent-minded when he spoke, but also looked around, and even at the climax of the speech, because of the uproar from the audience below, the messenger simply interrupted the speech and propped up a metal shield wall in front of him......

This gesture was so ugly that Ning Xianze, Ding Wanli and others were also dumbfounded, only shocked by the imagination of the capital's envoy.

What the hell are you here for?!Are you so soothing?

And the next moment, the envoy's feat unsurprisingly triggered a full-scale panic, and Ning Xianze and the others worked hard to gather the crowd in the square to disperse, during which the screams and wails continued, and the deaths and injuries caused by the crowded stampede were countless.

It can be said that before this, all the actions of many terrorists who sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives were not as destructive as the envoy's resolute and resolute public shield.

As a result of such a tragedy, the parliamentary envoy was rightfully disgraced, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he left behind a hidden sentence before leaving.

"Alas, I said a long time ago not to let this group of Qin people come......"

From an objective point of view, it is appropriate to describe this sentence in four words: the barking of the defeated dog.

Shouldering the mission of appeasing people's hearts, but caused a major panic incident and left in embarrassment, but when he left, he had to throw the pot to the Qin people, this messenger is like a famous golden retriever king in history possessed, incorruptible and shameful.

However, it is undeniable that the scoundrels who can leave their names in history are often the big winners - the so-called heavenly cycle of good retribution will never be fulfilled in these people. Just like the golden retriever king in history, he defeated his competitors in a row and stood on the throne. The envoy from the Capital Council also retreated, and left Thunderstone City with a mess that was difficult to clean up.

His words detonated the public opinion of Lei Shicheng almost instantly, turning negative emotions such as panic and depression into simple hatred for the Qin people.

For the average person, this is also the most cost-effective way to vent their emotions. Rather than tracking down the real culprit, endure the pain and rebuild the home...... Obviously, it is much simpler and clearer to find a foreign enemy to vent your hatred.

Why did the peaceful Thunderstone City suddenly suffer such a natural and man-made disaster?

Why do innocent people of Thunderstone City suffer?

Did the people of Thunderstone City do something wrong?

Is it the fault of the peasants who work at sunrise and live in the sun? Is it the craftsmanship of the craftsmen? Is it the diligence of the students?

If the people of Thunderstone City are innocent, what is wrong?

The answer is self-explanatory.

So when Wan Junzhu held a welcome ceremony in his own college, the atmosphere was naturally extremely embarrassing.

Looking at the indifference and even hatred off the field, Wan Junzhu also had a headache.

He, the dean, is a typical academic dean, his administrative ability is quite pitiful, and he has never understood how to calculate people's hearts - the reason why he is far away from the core of the empire's demon circle and came to Thunderstone City also means to be quiet.

So Wan Junzhu didn't know how to reverse the prejudice of connecting the pieces. In fact, he, the academic dean, is unable to protect himself. Because of his close contacts with the Qin people, and his attitude was not "dignified" enough, many teachers and students of the academy simply hated this conscientious dean.

Wan Junzhu stood on the stage, beat his spirit, and read the speech he had prepared all night reading word by word, but the more he read it, the quieter his voice became, and in the end, he simply omitted the flowery official clichés, hastily pushed the welcome ceremony to the next link.

"Then, next, I will invite the representative of the Qin State, the Demon Dao Sect Master, the Red Mountain City Lord, and Mr. Lu Bieli to speak. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a boiling omen in the originally silent Academy Square.

I don't know who started first, and there was a faint voice in the crowd: "Qin Gou, go back!"

The sound became more and more heard, and the more it was transmitted, the more it became more and more mixed, and in the end, it was simply not concealed.

The academy tutors, who were supposed to be responsible for maintaining order, were indifferent to this.

Wan Junzhu covered his face with his hands, his mind was in chaos, and he already had the idea of giving up on himself.

You guys...... Do you really know who you are provoking? Lu Bieli was notoriously unruly before he achieved the Grandmaster realm, oh no, because of the pearl and jade of the original poem, Lu Bieli's edge was covered up too much, so that many Shengyuan people didn't understand Lu Bieli's temperament at all.

Being provoked in such a face-to-face way, instead of being annoyed and angry, he will be doubly proud! Because this is the "ancestral treatment" he wants most!

And a doubly proud Lu Bieli is even more terrible than the annoyed and angry Lu Bieli!

Wan Junzhu can even clearly paint in his mind the picture of Lu Bieli laughing wildly and letting go of indiscriminate killing!

Let it go, it's all over!

However, at this moment, I saw someone take a step away and walked to the focus of everyone's attention.

It's Bai Xiao.

Wan Junzhu couldn't help but be stunned, why was he? What did he want to do?

After a short contact with Bai Xiao, Wan Junzhu's impression of this tribal boy is still quite good, although there are many rumors about his demonization, most of them are seriously untrue. In Wan Junzhu's opinion, Bai Xiao is just a sturdy young man who is quiet and doesn't like to cause trouble.

And in Wan Junzhu's confused gaze, Bai Xiao said two words in the face of the surging emotions of the group.

"I feel extremely sorry for the suffering that Thunderstone City has suffered during this time. ”

Not surprisingly, this sentence made Bai Xiao suddenly become the target of public criticism.

"Fuck off, Damn Dog!"

"Sorry for your whole family!"

"Cat crying mouse, do you want to be ashamed!?"

Once the young and vigorous students jumped up, they really had a spirit of not knowing life or death, as if they had forgotten that Bai Xiao even had the life of the Saint Yuan Sect Master in his hands.

However, soon Bai Xiao said the second sentence.

"So, I decided to donate five hundred Dragon's Tears to Thunderstone City in my personal name. ”
