I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head Chapter 266 - The End of the Training Camp and the Huge Uproar

Chapter 266: The End of the Training Camp and the Huge Uproar

Xue Bailong was a soldier, thus deeply detested such corrupt soldiers.

“I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” Xue Bailong asked.

“I’d better hear the bad news first,” Chu Yunfan said after thinking for a moment.

“The bad news is that we still failed to capture the new branch leader of the Monster Cult,” Xue Bailong said, “In addition, I’m afraid you’re now on the cult’s blacklist. You have to be careful.”

“What? We failed to capture him?” Chu Yunfan said dejectedly.

The reason he had been willing to cooperate with Xue Bailong as a spy was mostly because he wanted to use the power of the army to eradicate the cult. After all, the cult was breathing down his back every day. It was like a fishbone that was stuck in his throat. How could he forget about it?

“Then what’s the good news?” Chu Yunfan asked after a short pause.

Xue Bailong smiled and said, “The good news is that we have confirmed the ident.i.ty of the new branch leader.”

“Who is it?” Chu Yunfan quickly asked.

“It’s Mr. Lin, the director of the Education Bureau. Do you have any impression of him?” Xue Bailong asked.

The image of a frail man wearing gla.s.ses immediately appeared in Chu Yunfan’s mind. He never would have guessed it was Mr. Lin. Although Chu Yunfan had felt a strange vibe coming from him, that thought had never crossed his mind.

“I would never have thought that it would be him.”

“That’s right. It’s him all right. I didn’t expect it either. He hid it very well. It was only when he suddenly attacked me that I finally realized it. It was also because of him that a few core members of the cult managed to flee. Otherwise, none of them would’ve been able to escape.”

As Xue Bailong told Chu Yunfan this, he sounded upset. He wanted to go one step further and become a general. Other than strength, he would have to make enough contributions to do so. After he had destroyed the core leadership of the Monster Cult in Calm Ocean City the first time, it allowed him to be promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel. If he had succeeded this time, although he would not be promoted to senior colonel immediately, it would not be far off. But now, he could only watch as the cooked duck flew away. One could imagine the disappointment in his heart.

“But it’s fine since things have been confirmed. We’ve released his information to the government. He can no longer appear out in the open. He can only be a bug that lives in the darkness. Although the threat is no less small, he can’t infiltrate society any further. This can also be considered merit,” Xue Bailong said.

“The reason I called you here today is to tell you about this. The next thing is a different matter. Because of the sudden attack, the training camp will be ending early,” Xue Bailong said.

Chu Yunfan nodded. He was not surprised. This was as expected. Since the cult had infiltrated to this extent, how could Xue Bailong be at ease until he eradicated them?

“The college entrance exams are in a little over a month. You should be applying to Federation University, right?” Xue Bailong said.

“Yes, of course,” Chu Yunfan said.

“With your current strength, you should have a chance. But you’re still a little lacking. Your position isn’t guaranteed yet. For the rest of the time, you should work hard on improving yourself. Although you aren’t willing to join the army, you will still become one of the pillars of the human elite after getting into Federation University. You’re also fighting for the rise of the entire human race. It’s all the same at the end of the day,” Xue Bailong said.

“Thank you for your kind words, Lieutenant Xue,” Chu Yunfan said.

“All right, I have other matters to attend to. You may leave now,” Xue Bailong said.

One day later, the training camp was disbanded in a hurry. Compared to the grand ceremony before, it was a little anticlimactic. Not everyone was like Chu Yunfan and got to know a lot of inside information. However, they knew that there was a cult eyeing them. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was not appropriate to continue the training.

And a piece of news spread amongst the students overnight.

He was the number one high school student of Calm Ocean City.

Jiang Yusheng had died!

He had died in the monster swarm. By the time the army found him, he was only a pile of bones. He could only be identified by the armor that the monsters could not bite and swallow. After his DNA was confirmed, the news was finally announced.

Jiang Yu was dead.

Everyone was shocked. To the high school students in Calm Ocean City, Jiang Yu Sheng was a myth—a legend. How could he have died?

During the monster swarm, at least a hundred students had been buried in the mouth of the monsters, but they were all students in the Qi Sea Stage who had not yet entered the Energy Refinement Stage.

Compared to those in the Qi Sea Stage, the Energy Refinement Stage was much more powerful. Under the circ.u.mstances where they were focused on escaping, they would not encounter any problems as long as they took care to avoid the incoming swarm.

And Jiang Yusheng was also the only one in the Energy Refinement who died in this monster swarm!

This news spread among the students overnight. Everyone understood what this matter meant. As the number one high school student in Calm Ocean City, Jiang Yusheng’s strength was naturally unquestionable. He was an existence that many people in Calm Ocean City had high hopes for.

The college entrance exams that took place every year were when Calm Ocean City competed with other districts and cities. If they wanted to compete, they had to rely on elite students like Jiang Yusheng. Not to mention Jiang Yusheng had a behemoth like the Jiang family behind him. Once the news spread, it undoubtedly caused an uproar.

As the students returned to the various districts of Calm Ocean City, the news finally spread. This time, it was different from before. Even the army of Calm Ocean City was under a lot of pressure.

It was all because of Jiang Yusheng’s death!

As for the other casualties, no one cared.

And this news naturally reached the ears of the Jiang family.

In Donghua City, there was a wealthy district that was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was completely different from the high-rise buildings outside. Many of the buildings here were antique. Villas, towers, and pavilions stood within a forest, perfectly connected to the surrounding mountains and rivers. This was not something that an ordinary villa district could achieve, especially in a place like Donghua City where every inch of land was worth a fortune.

Ordinary people did not even know that this was where Jiang Consortium’s higher-ups lived within Donghua City. Only the core members of the Jiang family were qualified to live here.

In the hall of one of the villas, a tall, middle-aged man in a suit was sitting on the sofa.

If Chu Yunfan were here, he would find that this middle-aged man looked similar to Jiang Yusheng.

This middle-aged man was Jiang Yusheng’s father, a core member of the Jiang family, Jiang Jianye.
