Chapter 910: Chapter 910: The Sealed Celestial Master Institute
Lin Shen and his three companions arrived outside the Celestial Master Institute, only to see from afar a large group of Celestial Guards stationed outside the institute.
In the past, the Celestial Master Institute was a place no one even bothered with; how could there possibly be so many guards protecting it now?
It was now certain that the Celestial Master Institute had been taken over.
Seeing the guards, a sliver of hope rose in Lin Shen’s heart.
If everyone had been captured, then a place like the Celestial Master Institute wouldn’t need so many people to watch over it.
The presence of such a large contingent of guards ant there might still be people inside, or there was sothing inside worth guarding.
It would be best if there were people; even if Ouyang Yudu wasn’t there, those inside could provide him with so information.
“Halt, this area is off-limits; unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter,” the guard stopping them at the gate said.
“Do you know who I am?” Lin Shen asked, looking at the guard.
“It doesn’t matter who you are, the Celestial Master Institute has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter,” the guard stated, eyeing Lin Shen.
“It seems you recognize ,” Lin Shen said indifferently: “I won’t make things difficult for you; it’s fine if I don’t go inside. You just need to tell if there’s still anyone in the Celestial Master Institute.”
Hearing this, the guard burst out laughing: “Lin Shen, you think too highly of yourself. Tis have changed; our Celestial Race’s Heavenly Emperor is now Lord Anyi, not your master. Why should I be troubled by you?”
Lin Shen also smiled. He didn’t want to make things hard for these ordinary guards; they had little to do with the struggles of the higher-ups. Yet now, a guard dared to trouble him.
On reflection, it made sense. Most of the Celestial Race had a deeply ingrained sense of pride and exclusion, even these guards looked down on him, a person of Other Races.
With matters as they stood, Lin Shen did not waste any more words and headed straight inside.
The guards imdiately summoned their Life Base, trying to stop Lin Shen.
The guards here were at least Ascenders, with a few leaders among them possessing Nirvana Level strength.
But as they just summoned their Life Base, they were already overwheld by a terrifying Strength, pinned directly to the ground; their Life Bases also fell to the ground, completely unable to move.
Yan Ruyu had rely slightly exhibited his Law Power, sothing these guards simply couldn’t resist.
Ignoring the guards laying on the ground, Lin Shen went to the entrance and directly opened the sealed door.
The four of them entered and found an eerie silence within the Celestial Master Institute.
Suddenly, Lin Shen’s sharp hearing picked up a groan from inside a room.
That was the only sound, then nothing more; the sound wasn’t loud.
Images imdiately sprang to Lin Shen’s mind of soone being brutally beaten to their last breath, then subjected to severe torture, weakly uttering one last scream before losing consciousness.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but quicken his pace, his figure instantly reaching the exterior of the room in the backyard from where the noise emanated. He kicked the door open with one foot.
Upon seeing the situation inside, Lin Shen froze, his eyes widening in disbelief at everything he witnessed.
The Heavenly Consort and her party followed and were stunned by the scene before them.
There was no beating, no torture, and not even guards in sight.
In the vast warehouse, An Sai, Chi Xinhuo, several Vice Deans, and others, including Ouyang Yudu and Lin Wan, were surprisingly gathered around a large table eating hotpot.
Chi Xinhuo had just fished a large slice of rolled at from the hotpot with his chopsticks and was about to eat it when the door was kicked open, leaving him frozen mid-motion as he turned to look.
Lin Shen finally realized what that “ouch” sound could have been—it must have been soone who burned their mouth while eating hotpot.
“Dean, why have you returned?” An Sai approached with concern, “At a ti like this, you should have not co back; you should be laying low outside instead.”
“I’m fine, don’t worry about . What’s going on with all of you?” Seeing that they were all right, and that Ouyang Yudu was unscathed, a heavy stone fell from Lin Shen’s heart.
After putting the slice of at in his mouth and chewing for a few monts, Chi Xinhuo spoke: “Dean, you don’t need to worry about us. After all, we have been mixing with the Celestial Race for so many years, we have so friends—no one can do much to us. At most, we’ll just eat and drink here for a few days to recuperate. But as for you, returning now, you’re probably in trouble.”
Vice Dean Qiao looked at the Heavenly Consort standing behind Lin Shen with an unusual expression, “Dean, you really shouldn’t have co back. Your trouble is much bigger now.”
Lin Shen bitterly smiled to himself, knowing if he knew it would co to this, he would never have co here.
“Our communicators were taken away, we couldn’t contact you,” said Ouyang Yudu.
Lin Shen nodded, then looked at everyone and asked, “Given the current situation, are you willing to co with to Giant Ring Star?”
“Dean, are you defecting to Celestial Court?” Chi Xinhuo asked in astonishnt.
If Lin Shen wasn’t defecting to Celestial Court, how would he have been able to return at such a ti, and what authority would he have to take them to Giant Ring Star?
Lin Shen wanted to say sothing else when suddenly he heard rapid footsteps and a cold shout from outside.
“Lin Shen, I didn’t think you’d dare to co back,” An Jiahe said sharply, leading people into the courtyard and eyeing Lin Shen intensely.
Vice Dean An and Vice Dean Qiao exchanged glances. They had thought Lin Shen might have defected to Celestial Court, which was why he dared to return, but now it didn’t seem to be the case, causing them so worry.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to return? I am the Dean of Celestial Master Institute. Isn’t it quite normal for to co back?” Lin Shen replied indifferently.
“The Old Thief Tianshu has fallen; what Celestial Master Institute is there left? You, just a criminal and lackey, dare to call yourself Dean?” An Jiahe spoke with disdain, “If you surrender now and confess to all the shaful deeds you’ve done, you might have a sliver of hope.”
“I don’t know what shaful deeds you’re referring to,” said Lin Shen, looking at An Jiahe.
“Refusing to repent until it’s too late—take him down,” An Jiahe ordered the n behind him, intending to arrest Lin Shen.
Ever since he had heard Lin Shen had co back, An Jiahe couldn’t hold back and ca with his n to arrest Lin Shen and the Heavenly Consort together.
He didn’t bother with the old tirs of Celestial Master Institute, with their deep-rooted connections and intricate networks within the Celestial Race—a junior like him couldn’t just ss with them.
But Lin Shen and the Heavenly Consort were different; neither had any real foundation within the Celestial Race, their reliance was nothing more than on Emperor Tianshu. With Emperor Tianshu’s fall, no matter how powerful they were, they were rely two Nirvana Levels, unable to stir up much trouble.
He brought Immortals with him this ti, intending to capture both in one fell swoop—not only would this be a vengeful triumph but also a ritorious deed.
“Mr. Jiahe, if you intend to arrest soone at our Celestial Master Institute, there’s no problem, but do you have an arrest warrant issued by Celestial Court?” Vice Dean An stood up and looked at An Jiahe assertively.
