Lu Mei's trip attracted a lot of people's attention.

To some extent, she has become a symbol of the college.

Orphan, self-taught, traveled across the empire to study, and eventually became a middle-level and upper-level student in the academy.

The labels brought by these experiences have attracted more attention to her.

So this trip back to my hometown also touched the hearts of many people.

The key point is that although Lu Mei is not from the Empire, she is from the Soul Beast Leader next to the Empire.

She just needed to cross the empire, and this crossing caused many problems.

If Lu Mei is from the Empire, then the Empire has many plans for Lu Mei.

But Lu Mei is not, but she has to cross the empire. This journey is equivalent to a champion parade, so that many people can see the scenery inside.

The people from the Imperial Academy wanted to see more of this scene, while the religious group wanted to turn Lu Mei, the role model, into a specimen in the process.

As for the imperial family, they were in a dilemma.

People are not our own, and we cannot use some means, otherwise it will easily cause diplomatic incidents.

But people have to pass through them, and they have to cause a duel between the two largest forces in the empire. They wish that Lu Mei had died in the turmoil when she passed by.

Now I can only think of ways to accommodate Lu Mei's schedule.

The royal family has made up its mind that doing more is worse than doing less.

Lu Mei must not die when she passes by. If she dies, diplomatic incidents will inevitably occur.

In addition, the religious sect was also extremely active during this period, causing many things, which made the royal family feel the need to crack down on the religious sect's power.

The most important thing is to keep things within reasonable limits.

Lu Mei successfully crossed the border, so the most impact it will have is that some people will identify more with the academic school, and more people will go out to study.

And once Lu Mei is killed, it is likely to be the trigger of the war.

Therefore, the choice in this matter is actually very clear, which is to make things transition smoothly.

Neither publicize it nor ignore it, and secretly send people to protect and prevent people from the sect from causing trouble.

Lu Mei was received by local officials and nobles at the gate of the border city.

Without waiting too much, after greeting each other for a while, they sat on the magic car and walked towards their home.

But his eyes slightly glanced towards a small alley in the distance.

She found that there were many people following her there.

And it is very likely that he is a master who surpasses her. If her spiritual body is not a source beast, and if she is not standing at the door of the dream stairs, she may not be able to find him.

"It should be a master sent by the royal family." Lu Mei roughly confirmed the other party's status in her mind, and then didn't care.

As for the academic people, they are still in her team.

The imperial academy is essentially the former students of the First Academy. After they have accomplished their studies, they return to their own country.

Then various colleges were founded in our own country. Although they were not as good as the First College, they were also developing slowly.

It’s hard to say in the future, but the relationship between the academy and the First Academy is still very close, and people are often sent there for exchanges and studies.

Some teachers and professors from the First College are sometimes invited to come to the college here to give lessons to the students here.

Under such circumstances, Lu Mei's arrival also attracted many people to accompany her.

These people even asked Lu Mei to call them senior brothers and seniors.

In short, the relationship is here, and they also told Lu Mei that they would help curb the power of the sect and would never let the sect's troubles come.

Of course, there was no certainty about this matter. Defense was a disadvantage, so they also sent some people to mix with the escort team.

Lu Mei could only agree to this, but she did not fully trust the academics here.

It is true that the academic school and the academy are closely related, but after all, the two are not in the same camp.

Besides, wasn’t the previous incident with the Chaos Leader caused by the people from the Academy Leader?

Many people have rebelled long ago, and the college leaders have not found out.

The Chaos Territory is closer to the academy, so this kind of thing can still happen. Who knows if there are any insiders sneaking into the Imperial Academy over the years.

Lu Mei did not dare to completely put her own safety on the protection of these people. Hiding in the mine for a year was enough once, and she did not want to do it a second time.

So, on the surface, she is very beautiful, but secretly, she has been maintaining a certain secret skill that she has recently cultivated.

It seemed to be really peaceful along the way, and a lot of news came from the academics. For example, the cult organized several waves of manpower, but all of them were intercepted by the academics.

At the same time, the academic faction also took the initiative and carried out activities in several important strongholds of the sect.

In this way, most of the members of the sect can be captured.

The royal family also provided some help in this process, involving some members of the religious order through some royal tasks.

But the more peaceful it is, the more people can't imagine how earth-shattering it will be when things break out.

The people in the academic sect naturally knew this. Instead of being blindly optimistic, they accelerated their monitoring efforts to look for the hidden masters of the sect.

There was even a direct conflict with the sect in one place. Some white gloves sent by the academy directly raided the secret stronghold of the sect in another place and killed most of the members of the sect there.

Through this incident, many members of the religious sect were attracted.

If they don't deal with this kind of fair slap in the face, then let them put their faith somewhere else.

Therefore, the academic faction handled the situation very well this time. It seems that the religious group really has no way to stop this process.

It seems that this is what happened. Lu Mei successfully crossed the empire. During the whole process, no one from the religious order appeared in front of her. It seemed that they were all intercepted by the academy.

Then as she crossed the border and came to the Soul Beast Territory, she discovered that her hometown had been reduced to ruins.

There are broken walls and broken limbs everywhere.

Some of the corpses were already rotten and smelly, with maggots squirming on them, as if laughing at how late their group had arrived.

"This... is impossible!" The face of the academic liaison person in the team changed and became extremely ugly, and he kept saying it was impossible.

They expected that the members of the religious sect would carry out assassinations after leaving the empire's borders, but they did not expect that they would massacre Lu Mei's hometown directly before that.

This kind of thing is too beyond ordinary people's understanding.

The action against the rightful owner was tepid, but secretly, the opponent's hometown was massacred.

It's not like they didn't send people to this Soul Beast Territory, but no information was sent out.

In addition, their focus has been following Lu Mei, so they have also neglected this aspect.

"What about those soul beasts? Why do you allow people from these religious groups to do this?"

There are also people who are puzzled.

The reason why the Soul Beast Territory is called the Soul Beast Territory is because it is said that decades ago, the Soul Beasts and the humans here united to overthrow a religious sect.

Then the soul beasts reached an agreement with the humans here, that is, they help each other. The soul beasts will not harass humans, and will help humans in this area remain independent. At the same time, the humans here also need to help the soul beasts to purchase various

Items from humans.

Soul beasts are divided into groups. Their intelligence is no worse than that of humans, but it has been difficult for a single group to increase in number.

Moreover, it is difficult for soul beasts to obtain offspring through natural gestation. The operation of the contemporary world can only give birth to various soul beasts. Only the master of soul beasts can bring about the ability to give birth to soul beasts.

This also determines that it is difficult for spirit beasts to form a society.

If a social system cannot be built, it will be difficult to manufacture various industrial things, and they can only be traded with humans.

Therefore, this territory is protected by spirit beasts and managed by humans.

In addition, the empire also needs some resources from soul beasts, and the power of soul beasts is indeed not weak.

Therefore, the Soul Beast Territory also maintained its independence during the establishment of the Empire and was not swallowed up by the Empire.

Under such circumstances, how did the cult overcome the power of the soul beasts and lead them to slaughter most of the humans here?

But after taking a few steps forward, the answer was already given.

I saw that the main city in the distance was covered with countless flags.

Each flag represents a religious order.

There are actually only two or three sects in the empire, and they are all brother sects. Although they do not believe in the same god, they seem to have a very close relationship.

But now, there are more than a few flags of religious groups here. With so many religious groups, even the empire would probably choose to bow their heads and accept their inferiority in this situation.

The group was already preparing to retreat at this time.

However, they didn't know when, many people had already arrived in front of them from a distance in an instant.

"Space jump, this distance, they are dream steps!"

The so-called space jumping ability, and the flicker that Lu Mei used before, are actually the same ability.

They all make use of the overlap of the realms, and then use the changes in the spiritual body to push the errors in the realms, thereby completing the blinking teleportation.

Lu Mei can do this because she has the spiritual body of the Origin Beast, which can greatly strengthen her.
