Zhen Dan Academy is officially established.

In each of the supercities, it holds significant authority.

During critical times, it can mobilize stationed defense forces to prevent severe occurrences.

For instance, if someone violates the Awakener Ordinance,

They can take immediate action.

Just like the people in military uniforms beside Zheng Wenyuan, they act as enforcers, protecting the public and maintaining order.

Because they have official backing, they not only have Awakened individuals but can also use even more powerful thermal weapons.

Furthermore, Zhen Dan Academy can even demand cooperation from some large forces.

And just now, someone committed murder within the scope of Chang'an City.

Zhen Dan Academy received the information.

They rushed over at the first instant.

To this,

Lu Yuan was already prepared. He looked at Dean Zheng and others representing the official forces in front of him and said softly, "Are you here to question me?"

His voice was calm, seemingly unconcerned, because even knowing this would happen, he would still do the same.

Just as said before, some people must pay the price for doing things they shouldn't.

But in the ears of the surrounding people,

It seemed very assertive.

They thought Lu Yuan was very arrogant.

Zhen Dan Academy and the troops have arrived.

Yet he still dared to act like this, doesn't he feel any fear?

Killing the Southern Emperor, offending Longevity Gene, and now this.

Many people thought he went too far.

However, some believed, judging from the earlier battle, that Lu Yuan indeed had the capability.

Slaying the Southern Emperor at least proved that he possessed strength comparable to the Five Great Venerables, even stronger, as he crushed from start to finish.

But even so, once he offends Zhen Dan Academy, that's almost standing against the officials.

The Ice Fairy couldn't help but frown and stepped forward ready to say something.

She understood the situation well.

It was indeed the Southern Emperor brothers who provoked Lu Yuan and used deadly force first, only to be countered due to lack of strength.

"I've secretly informed Dean Zheng about the situation, you shouldn't speak up, Beidou Biotechnology needs to maintain its independence externally," said a middle-aged man beside her, stopping her.

Beidou Biotechnology also has official backing, though not many know it, due to different missions.

If the Ice Fairy spoke, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

He explained the entire situation.

What to do next, depends on Dean Zheng.

Upon hearing this, the latter nodded, standing in place waiting.

At this moment,

everyone quieted down.

Killing the Southern Emperor and offending Longevity Gene is a major issue.

Now that Zhen Dan Academy, representing the officials, has appeared, it might trigger another conflict.

The Awakener Ordinance has long been issued and strictly enforced, and everyone wonders what punishment Lu Yuan will face, and if he refuses, will it trigger another battle?

In short, everyone was a bit tense, feeling that something big might happen.

"Ahem..."

Dean Zheng coughed when he heard Lu Yuan's words.

Then he glanced at the Southern Emperor's corpse not far away, pondered for a moment, "Hmm, where you took the action wasn't within the city, it doesn't violate the Awakener Ordinance, it's just a minor violation, but it's not a big deal, we naturally won't hold you accountable."

After speaking, he looked at the military-clad man beside him: "What do you think, Commander Xu?"

The man in military uniform was the head commander of Chang'an City's defense forces.

He controls all the troops within the city, holding a high position.

He himself is also an Awakened individual.

In fact,

Each of the five supercities has a defense army, restructured from the old era's military.

Its duty is to protect the public and deal with Exotic Beast tides, enforce the Awakener Ordinance.

Generally, they don't appear, but when they do, it's significant.

And when Commander Xu heard Dean Zheng's words, he pinched his chin, and finally nodded: "Dean Zheng is correct."

These words left everyone present stunned.

Clearly, Lu Yuan committed murder within the boundaries of Chang'an City.

How now, with just a word, it is denied, and publicly stated as just a minor violation?

This... this... this...

Lu Yuan was also a bit surprised, but he quickly responded: "Thank you."

He knew this was Zhen Dan Academy, representing the official forces, trying to calm the situation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't publicly say such things, because his performance was too outstanding.

Now with sudden changes, the situation is complicated, and there are Exotic Beasts causing trouble elsewhere, they indeed need some strong individuals to step in.

And since they already made a friendly gesture, Lu Yuan wouldn't refuse.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Dean Zheng nodded, and continued, "Then this matter is over. However... Lu, sir, I wonder if you could accompany me to the academy, there are some things I need to explain to you."

His tone was sincere, perhaps from the start he had this intention, wanting to win Lu Yuan over.

Zhen Dan Academy, although with official backing, can harness many resources.

But outside, there are many big forces.

To control the gradually chaotic situation within the country, much work needs to be done.

Firstly, it's a matter of talent.

In Dean Zheng's eyes, Lu Yuan is a very good choice, collaboration would be beneficial at least.

As for thoroughly offending Longevity Gene and Wuzhou Group... he doesn't care, these two forces have been overstepping boundaries lately, the officials also want to check them, protecting Lu Yuan indicates their stance.

"Of course."

Lu Yuan thought for a while, choosing to agree.

After all, there's nothing else to do at present.

Besides, since Dean Zheng chose to overlook the Awakener Ordinance for him, there's no harm in taking a trip.
