#607 - A visit to the principal; Another smell of vampires; The inside story (6000)

Some time ago, due to the human race's high-level leaders conscripting the vast majority of the Thousand World Realm Lords to the Mind Flayer's main world, most of the cities in the main world only had one Thousand World Realm Lord stationed.

Therefore, the number of missing children in Yicheng and the surrounding cities has surged.

When Zhang Zhi heard this news, his first reaction was to think of the previous Blood Clan's plans.

However, the Blood Clan who plotted that matter in the Myriad Race area had long since disappeared. How could their so-called 'substitution' plan still be in effect?

Moreover, before the human race launched an attack on the Mind Flayers, they had thoroughly cleaned up the alien races within the human race's main world. How could such a thing still happen?

Unless...

Unless those alien races had humans helping them to cover up.

Could it be that within these nearby cities, there are still remnants of the Blood Clan's plan from back then? And that remnant has even advanced to the Thousand World Realm Lord level?

This matter must be dealt with.

He has almost no time to deal with this matter in Yicheng recently.

The matters in Yicheng, before they get out of hand, Fengjing University, and even the Seven Dragons Prefecture, should not come forward to handle this matter.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhi also has acquaintances in the Qingshan Dao area, such as Yuzhang No. 3 High School.

Matters within the Qingshan Dao area are definitely under the jurisdiction of the capital, Yuzhang.

Zhang Zhi is thinking about what the headmaster thinks about this matter after he visits him later. If there is really no way, he will go to Yuzhang No. 3 High School to take a look.

At the same time, he is also a little fortunate that, due to his influence, Yicheng attaches great importance to the old director and the orphanage. Therefore, the old director and the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage have not had any problems.

The old director just mentioned that several orphanage directors in other cities have disappeared.

Other cities definitely don't pay much attention to orphanages.

Not to mention other cities, even in Yicheng, even though there is a 'well-known' person from the orphanage who entered Fengjing University, except for the orphanage where the old director is, which is highly valued by the government, other orphanages are almost transparent.

Moreover, the directors of the orphanages are basically in the Elite Realm, and at most have Transcendent Realm cultivators. With this kind of cultivation, when encountering alien races who can sneak into the main world, they have almost no power to resist.

Although the relevant departments will send new directors to take office after the orphanage director disappears, during the window period, if the orphans in the orphanage disappear, almost no one knows, and no one cares.

And by the time the new director discovers that the children are missing and wants to find them back, it is almost impossible to find any clues.

After passing through familiar streets and standing in front of the gate of Yicheng No. 1 Middle School again, Zhang Zhi still has a lot of feelings in his heart. This is his starting point in this multi-dimensional universe.

Fortunately, the headmaster is still in the school this time.

Looking at the headmaster who is looking down and dealing with affairs, Zhang Zhi gently knocked on the door of the office.

The headmaster looked up and saw Zhang Zhi appearing at the door of his office, and was pleasantly surprised. He quickly got up to greet him: "Student Zhang Zhi? A rare guest, a rare guest!"

Zhang Zhi said with a smile on his face: "I am taking the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me."

The headmaster laughed loudly: "How could it be a liberty? I wish you would come every day, you rare guest."

Leading Zhang Zhi and Zixia to sit down in the reception room next to him, the headmaster glanced at Zixia beside Zhang Zhi:

"When did student Zhang Zhi return to Yicheng?"

"Is there anything you came to me for?"

Zhang Zhi took out the invitation and handed it to the headmaster with both hands: "I returned to the Seven Dragons Prefecture from Fengjing yesterday, and returned to Yicheng today."

"I came to you mainly to send you an invitation."

Due to the Mutual Aid Association, Zhang Zhi, after thinking twice, finally decided to give the headmaster an invitation. As for whether it is enough to repay the headmaster's favor?

There is still a long time to go, and there will be plenty of opportunities to repay the favor in the future.

The headmaster, who had just sat down, looked at the invitation in Zhang Zhi's hand, and his eyes lit up: "Oh? An invitation?"

Then he realized something and said in a somewhat incredible tone: "Student Zhang Zhi, what kind of invitation is this? It wouldn't be an invitation to your Thousand Realm Ascension Banquet, would it?"

Zhang Zhi felt a little helpless in his heart after hearing this, thinking why everyone's first thought after seeing the invitation was the Thousand Realm Ascension Banquet?

But that's right. For the cultivators in the Tianxing Region, becoming the Realm Lord of a Small Thousand World is indeed an extremely important matter. It is the dividing line between mortals and gods. For ordinary World Lords, it is indeed extremely important.

It's just that he is used to staying in Fengjing University and has seen too many Realm Lords who have been promoted to the Small Thousand World, so he feels that being promoted to the Thousand World is nothing special.

There is also a possibility that he is still a bit lonely in this world. After being promoted to the Realm Lord of the Small Thousand World, there are basically not many relatives and friends who can share this joy, so he did not hold a Thousand Realm Ascension Banquet.

Just as Zhang Zhi was thinking about the Thousand Realm Ascension Banquet, the headmaster had already taken the invitation with both hands.

After receiving the invitation, his face changed slightly.

As a senior Thousand World Realm Lord, he naturally discovered the problem with the invitation immediately.

After noticing the special nature of the invitation, he looked up at Zhang Zhi with a face full of disbelief: "This, this, student Zhang Zhi, this invitation is actually a golden-level artifact?"

"This, what kind of invitation is this? It would actually use a golden-level artifact as an invitation?"

"This is too much of a big deal."

After hearing the headmaster's words, Zhang Zhi retracted his somewhat wandering thoughts, chuckled, and responded to the headmaster's question: "Headmaster, what kind of banquet invitation do you think the human race has that can use a golden-level artifact as an invitation?"

The headmaster looked at the invitation in his hand with a somewhat complicated gaze, took a deep breath, and said: "It's the Grand Banquet."

"Only the Grand Banquet, which all the high-level members of the human race will attend, will use this golden-level artifact as an invitation to show the nobility of this Grand Banquet."

Then, he raised his head, took a deep look at Zhang Zhi, and handed the invitation in his hand to Zhang Zhi with both hands: "Student Zhang Zhi, I can't accept this invitation. This, this is too precious!"

Zhang Zhi reached out and pushed the invitation towards the headmaster: "Headmaster, you can open the invitation and take a look, and you will find that the holder of the invitation is you."

"An invitation can only have one holder. If you don't want it, no one else can use this invitation. This is directly equivalent to being scrapped."

The headmaster was slightly stunned when he heard this. He took back the invitation, opened it, and took a look. Sure enough, he found that his information was already displayed on the invitation.

As a major event that the entire human race is paying attention to, the headmaster naturally knows that if the information on the invitation does not match the person holding the invitation, not only will he not be able to enter the Grand Banquet, but he will also be detained and asked about the source of the invitation.

He let out a long breath, slowly closed the invitation in his hand, and suppressed the emotional fluctuations in his heart. He opened his mouth and said to Zhang Zhi: "Student Zhang Zhi, this invitation is too precious. I can't afford it!"

Zhang Zhi smiled and shook his head and said: "Headmaster, I don't agree with what you said."

"If you hadn't recommended me to Lord Li Qianjun back then, I wouldn't have been able to go to the Seven Dragons Academy. If I hadn't been able to go to the Seven Dragons Academy, I wouldn't have been able to go to Fengjing University, and I wouldn't have been able to become Professor Confucius's disciple."

"I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have today."

"It's just an invitation. You don't need to be so cautious."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the headmaster looked down at the invitation in his hand, took a long breath, and said: "I am ashamed to receive this invitation."

"But, now that my information has been entered on this invitation, and I am actually looking forward to that Grand Banquet in my heart."

"So, I will shamelessly accept it."

After a pause, he continued: "But, student Zhang Zhi, you have given me this invitation. Do you still have an invitation yourself?"

Zhang Zhi smiled and explained to the headmaster: "Of course I have one, headmaster. You don't need to worry about this."

After gently stroking the cover of the invitation a few times, the headmaster asked again: "Li Qianjun's side?"

Zhang Zhi nodded again and said: "I already sent the invitation to Lord Li Qianjun's side yesterday."

The headmaster slowly nodded, and then looked at Zhang Zhi with a gratified gaze: "Student Zhang Zhi, it seems that you are doing well at Fengjing University now."

Then, he suddenly realized something at this moment and asked Zhang Zhi: "Student Zhang Zhi, what did you just say?"

"You said that you have been accepted as a disciple by Professor Confucius?'

Zhang Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. I have been accepted as a disciple by Professor Confucius."

The headmaster was lost in thought for a long time. After a long time, he took another heavy breath: "Good, good, really good!"

"You little fellow, you have already become a disciple of a Main God Realm existence."

As the headmaster, he naturally knows what a professor called 'Master' means.

Only the existence of the Main God Realm can be crowned with the title of 'Master'.

He looked at Zhang Zhi with a gratified face: "Our Yicheng is finally going to produce a Great Thousand World Realm Lord."

Zhang Zhi chuckled and said modestly: "Headmaster, you are saying this a bit too early. I am only accepted as a disciple by Professor Confucius now, and I have only just been promoted to the Small Thousand World."

"This Great Thousand World Realm Lord is still far away from me!"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the headmaster smiled at him with a face full of smiles: "You fellow, you are hiding everything, and you didn't even tell me that you were promoted to the Thousand World Realm Lord."

"How long have you been opening up the Small World?"

"More than two years, more than two years and you have already been promoted to the Small Thousand World."

"Is the Great Thousand World Realm Lord a big deal to you?"

Zhang Zhi showed a faint smile on his face and did not answer this question. Instead, he turned his head and asked about the school's situation: "Headmaster, has there been any good talent in the school recently?"

Speaking of this, a smile could not help but float on the headmaster's face: "Naturally, there is no talent with your unprecedented qualifications."

"There are still some ordinary good talents."

"Speaking of which, the school is still thanks to you."

"Since you entered Fengjing University, the Seven Dragons Academy has specially sent people to contact me, saying that they will send people to our school every year to recruit students in the future."

"Moreover, in the previous graduation assessment, all the secondary education schools in Qingshan Dao sent people to our school to participate in our assessment this time."

"Outside of Qingshan Dao, there are several other secondary education schools known throughout the region who have sent people here."

"That was an unprecedented grand occasion for our school."

"For this reason, the school has absorbed many talents with good qualifications from nearby cities."

"Moreover, due to the fact that our school produced you, even people from Yuzhang are asking me to use my connections to transfer to our school."

"In addition, the performance of those little fellows in this year's assessment was indeed very good, and they brought honor to our school."

"As long as those little fellows behind don't fail, our school will definitely have a place among the top three elementary education schools in Qingshan Dao in the future."

Looking at the headmaster talking about the current situation of the school with shining eyes, Zhang Zhi also had a face full of smiles at this time.

Yicheng is Zhang Zhi's hometown in this universe. The better his hometown becomes, the happier he will naturally be.

After a pause, the headmaster continued: "If the news that you have been accepted as a disciple by Professor Confucius spreads out, the reputation of our school will definitely skyrocket again."

"In this way, our school's position in the top three in Qingshan Dao in the future will be basically stable."

Hearing the headmaster say this, Zhang Zhi smiled knowingly, thinking that after he lectures at the grand event, you won't have to worry about the school's reputation.

At that time, the reputation of Yicheng No. 1 Elementary Education School will not only be spread around Qingshan Dao.

In the future, all the main worlds, thousand worlds, and world lord main worlds of the entire human race, the Five Capitals and the Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Regions, will be filled with the great reputation of Yicheng No. 1 Elementary Education School.

Looking at Zhang Zhi with a smiling face, the headmaster also said with a smile: "So ah, the current situation of the school is really thanks to you."

Zhang Zhi chuckled, and after thinking for a while, changed the subject and said: "By the way, headmaster, I just went back to the orphanage."

"The old director said that there are still children missing in Yicheng."

"The situation in the nearby cities is even more serious."

"When our human race attacked the Mind Flayers some time ago, several orphanage directors even disappeared."

"Are you aware of this situation?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the headmaster was stunned, his expression changed, and he pondered for a long time. After taking a breath, he said quietly: "I should be one of the few people in Qingshan Dao who knows about this matter."

Zhang Zhi was also a little surprised when he heard this.

One of the few people in Qingshan Dao who knows about this?

From the headmaster's words, it seems that many people outside of Qingshan Dao know about the situation here?

The matter of the missing people in Yicheng seems to be very wide?

Moreover, the level involved is very high?

Then he remembered that the headmaster was a classmate of Lord Li Qianjun back then, and the higher education school they attended back then must have been not bad.

And the headmasters of elementary education schools in remote areas are generally those Thousand World Realm Lords who have almost no potential and room for advancement.

So, the headmaster came to Yicheng to take office with a special mission?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he asked the headmaster, "Is it because of the vampire clan?"

The headmaster looked at Zhang Zhi with surprise after hearing his words, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded slowly and said, "You were able to guess that?"

"Yes, it's because of those vampires."

Zhang Zhi, hearing this, asked strangely, "Back then, Professor Zhuang Zi seemed to be in charge of the vampire matter, but I haven't heard Professor Zhuang Zi mention anything about it. At this stage, what plans do we humans have against the vampires?"

The headmaster was stunned upon hearing this, looked up at Zhang Zhi, and asked, "Professor Zhuang Zi?"

Zhang Zhi nodded, seeing the doubt in the headmaster's eyes, and said,

"Yes, Professor Zhuang Zi. On the human race's main world side, all major events related to other races are ultimately summarized to Professor Zhuang Zi."

"The human race's higher-ups mainly follow Professor Zhuang Zi's advice when dealing with matters concerning other races."

"I accidentally came into contact with vampires before, so I dealt with Professor Zhuang Zi about this matter. However, he never said that we humans had any plans against the vampires."

The headmaster suddenly understood upon hearing this, realizing that the Professor Zhuang Zi that Zhang Zhi was talking about should be the main god in charge of alien race affairs for the human race.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Zhi's status was probably higher than he had imagined. He was already someone who could directly communicate with the top echelons of the human race.

However, he was an old hand after all, and he quickly recovered from his daze.

Then, he began to explain to Zhang Zhi, "I roughly know who the Professor Zhuang Zi you're talking about is."

"That Professor Zhuang Zi should only be responsible for determining how to deal with other races, while the specific handling process is carried out by others."

"Back then, that person hoped to find the vampires' lair."

"In addition, the vampires seemed to control an extremely special treasure, so back then, that... oh, it should be Professor Zhuang Zi."

"Back then, after Professor Zhuang Zi hoped to find the vampires' lair, seven world masters from the Thousand Worlds jointly undertook this task.

And one of those Thousand World realm masters was the principal of Yunhu University, which I attended."

"And I became a member of this mission a long time ago."

Speaking of this, the headmaster turned to look at Zhang Zhi, and said in a somewhat strange tone, "This 'long time ago' refers to when I was still a child."

"Student Zhang Zhi, actually, I'm like you, both from orphanages."

Zhang Zhi was stunned upon hearing this, and then he somewhat understood. Was it because of this reason that the headmaster strongly recommended him to Lord Li Qianjun?

Seeing the thoughtful look on Zhang Zhi's face, the headmaster sighed inwardly and continued, "However, what's different between you and me is that I know who my enemy is."

"My family all died in a vampire attack."

"Therefore, when I showed good potential during elementary education, I was spotted by personnel from relevant departments."

"Due to confidentiality and disciplinary reasons, I cannot disclose the name of the relevant department to you."

"I can only tell you that the department is led by the principal of Yunhu University, an organization dedicated to finding the location of the vampire's lair."

Speaking of this, the headmaster paused, then asked Zhang Zhi, "Student Zhang Zhi, what do you think is the most convenient way to obtain the location of the vampire's lair?"

Zhang Zhi paused, then said, "Become a vampire, or make the vampires think you are one of them, and then go to their lair!"

The headmaster's eyes flashed with approval after hearing Zhang Zhi's words.

He nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, make the vampires think you are one of them."

"Then, I used a certain method to make the vampires think I was one of them!"

Zhang Zhi was stunned upon hearing this, and then he suddenly said, "Did you replace a traitor sent by a vampire?"

The headmaster was also shocked upon hearing this, "You even know this?"

"Is your security clearance very high?"

Zhang Zhi sighed inwardly at this moment, thinking that if he had known that the human race had been searching for the vampire's lair all along, he wouldn't have scared those vampires in the Myriad Races area back then.

Those vampires must have been frightened after learning that he was from the human race's main world, and that he had lied to them that he was a student of Fengjing University.

If he hadn't scared those vampires back then, those vampire principals might still be in the Myriad Races area.

Now that the beacon has been deployed in a certain world in the Myriad Races area, once the human race's main god-level existence arrives in the Myriad Races area, the vampires will have nowhere to run.

But now, those vampires have long since run to some world area.

He didn't expect his unintentional action to make a large number of humans on the main world side do useless work.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "My security clearance is indeed not low."

"However, the information related to vampires was obtained by myself from another channel."

"I even have some understanding of the vampire's 'Substituting the Plum for the Peach' plan, as well as the approximate location of the vampire's lair."

Hearing Zhang Zhi say this, a wry smile appeared on the headmaster's face, "You even know about the 'Substituting the Plum for the Peach' plan. In that case, it will be much easier for me to explain many things to you."

"Or rather, it's okay to talk to you about many things."

"Yes, that's right. A human being who was enslaved by those vampires surrendered to the human race as soon as he arrived on the human race's main world side."

"Under the instructions of the human race's higher-ups, he did not expose himself, but remained within the vampire ranks."

"Then, I and three others became the downlines he developed."

"With the help of that human who surrendered to the human race, the three of us easily gained the trust of the vampires."

"And the Tianxing Domain is actually one of the most important strongholds for vampires. The reason why I appeared in Yicheng is because the vampires wanted to use me to erode Yicheng."

Zhang Zhi's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He wasn't a fool. From the headmaster's words, he could hear that the headmaster was very likely the leader of the vampire forces in Yicheng!

This was a huge shock to him!
