Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

He was mentally exhausted and felt he would have to go into seclusion to recover for quite some time.

"That's not up to you." Lu Cheng waved his hand, and Jingyun flapped its wings and flew high towards Anjie.

"There are many times and many things that you can't simply choose not to do."

"Like this time, if it weren't for me, if it weren't for that idiot Lu Nian who even had designs on me and instructed the dean of the Imperial Academy to send me as the team leader, how many of you do you think would have survived?"

"What do you think will happen if I'm not here?"

"I..." Mo Fan was speechless for a moment, his face looking rather unpleasant.

Liao Mingxuan was killed right in front of him by that madman!

He killed without any scruples, and he didn't think Lu Nian would leave any survivors.

"Although there's always a price to pay for this kind of cheating, it's still better than having to helplessly wait to die when problems arise," Lu Cheng said.

"It's always good to have a backup plan."

He had no interest in keeping an eye on Mo Fan every moment. After the demonic power was implanted, whether Mo Fan lived or died was no longer up to him. The Holy Lord, who was in the dark dimension, could sense Mo Fan's situation at any time and could give him a cheat code at any time.

Even if Mo Fan wanted to die, the Holy Lord could kick him back.

The devil's tools have no right to decide their own life or death.

Chapter 77 Pillars of the Nation

77.

……

imperial capital.

After handing Mo Fan over to Zhan Kong, who was in Biyi City, Lü Cheng didn't linger. Although the local military was eager to know what had happened in the dark Dongting Lake, no one dared to approach them since Lü Cheng wasn't going to bother with them.

"Let me tell you, it's not just Mu Zhanxing. All the big shots you know, all the prominent figures—the military, the political world, the Magic Association, and even the self-proclaimed righteous Tribunal—are participants and planners of this experiment!"

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and sacrifices are inevitable in any change!"

"Before you, when those big shots were still supporting this experiment, countless people had already died!"

"But they were afraid! Because they couldn't get any results, those high-ranking figures were unwilling to continue. They were afraid that if this matter were exposed, it would damage their glamorous image!"

"I'm not afraid!"

"I will not let all the sacrifices made before this experiment go to waste!"

"..."

The Imperial Capital Magic Association.

The faces of the magicians present were extremely grim as they watched the audio and video recordings brought by Lü Cheng.

Perhaps it was anger at Lu Nian, this madman, or perhaps it was fear at Lu Nian revealing the things involved in this matter; perhaps both were true.

Liao Feng, who witnessed his son being turned to ashes by Lu Nian, had an even more horribly gloomy expression.

Lu Cheng, the troublemaker, sat quietly eating and drinking tea next to Pang Lai, the association's chief.

What do you want to do?

Finally, a middle-aged man broke the silence.

If the previous incident was merely Lu Nian's own whim, this recording has dragged all the big shots involved in the plan into it!

In the video footage later captured by Lü Cheng, Lu Nian seemed to have lost his mind and revealed everything he knew about the powerful families, military commanders, and government officials who had been involved in the incident!

They're fucking insane!

If this information gets leaked, the problem will be huge!

Although the experiments on demons were stopped many years ago, Lu Nian, as a leader of the military, has been openly researching them for so many years and has even conducted a large number of experiments. How can they explain this?

Nobody knows? It was all Lu Nian's own doing?

What about coaxing ghosts?

It's just a tacit understanding.

"..."

"Ahem." Pang Lai coughed twice, interrupting Lü Cheng who was engrossed in eating.

"What?" Lu Cheng looked up innocently.

"Is he asking me?"

The middle-aged man looked exasperated. "Can I ask someone else?"

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Lü Cheng was brought by Pang Lai, the chief of the court mage group, everyone would have already started working on those things when they were only halfway through!

Lu Nian's matter is minor, but the people behind this must never be exposed!

"I don't want to do anything." Lü Cheng wiped his mouth.

"Then why did you bring this thing here?" Liao Feng asked.

"condemn?"

The names that Lu Nian mentioned included many people present!

He had even agreed to the experiment beforehand, so now that his son is dead, he has nothing to say!

“Do I look like an idiot?” Lu Cheng asked.

"I am but a lowly high-level mage, how dare I offend such important figures as you?"

Those who participated in the demon-related experiments were at least high-level mages, and some were even forbidden spellcasters. Is this something to threaten?

What's the difference between this and running to the Holy City and calling God the Father an idiot?

Are you looking for death?

"Then what do you want to do?" Liao Feng asked.

“They’re trying to extort money from you,” Lü Cheng said.

"Such a big deal, such a great opportunity, wouldn't it be right if I didn't try to extort something good from you?"

The faces of everyone present darkened.

If you're so capable, go and extort money from the people on that list!

What's with this extortion attempt on us?

"Gentlemen, I have no choice," Lü Cheng said with a helpless expression.

"We are all people of status. If I were to actually come to your door and extort money from you, it would make you all look bad. Besides, I am just a lowly high-level mage. If you are in a bad mood and mess with me, who can I complain to?"

"Aren't you worried about being killed by us while you're here?" Liao Feng said coldly.

Except for his son, all the other trainees were unharmed during the training!

Is this reasonable?

It's obvious that this kid has the ability to save everyone, but he didn't!

"Kill me?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, stood up and walked behind Pang Lai.

"Don't you guys take me, Brother Pang, seriously?"

"..."

Everyone's eyes twitched violently.

Brother Pang?

Pang Lai is old enough to be your grandfather!

“What do you want?” Pang Lai asked.

Lu Cheng brought this evidence here not only for security reasons, but also because he wanted Lu Cheng's help to extort more money from him.

"Name your price," said the middle-aged man who had just spoken.

"Vulgar!" Lu Cheng exclaimed with righteous indignation.

"Do I look like such a vulgar person? Talking about money is so hurtful to feelings?"

Pang Lai's eye twitched slightly. "Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Ahem." Lü Cheng coughed lightly twice.

"Actually, I, Lü Cheng, am also a person with dreams."

"From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a pillar of the nation..."

"Speak your mind!" Zhu Meng interrupted, his face darkening.

They're all trying to extort money from them, and they still have the nerve to call themselves pillars of the nation?

"Damn it!" Lu Cheng's face hardened.

"You scared me! I wasn't planning on giving you the cold shoulder, but judging from your attitude, you're not going to talk about this anymore until you give me two hundred spirit seeds to calm my nerves!"
