Chapter 463 Schools and Tempting Deals

TIME LEFT BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 30 MINUTES
Due to the disruptive effects of the new events on the Four Moons World, all the students and the teachers were back into their panic-stricken state, as they were rendered confused by what was happening.
Why did a massive illusory planet appear out of nowhere, and why is there a massive spaceship attacking right now?
These people unfortunately have no way to have these questions of theirs answered, so the best thing that they can only do was to hide and stay where they are.
Even with the power that their current civilization had, the students and the teachers had no confidence on leaving the confines of the Institute.
After all, what was happening right now can be said to be a battle between extremely powerful beings, something that weaklings like them cannot participate in.
Because of this outlook, the whole Institute was plunged in a depressed atmosphere, making everyone appear gloomy and tired. This feeling pervaded everywhere, turning even the boisterous guards into listless creatures.
As for the aliens that visited the Institute earlier, most of them were still unconscious, as if what was happening outside had forced them to stay asleep.
"Hula hula hula…"
However, not everyone in the Institute acted like this.
Meters below the ground floor of the Institute, inside a now-opened vault, there was a group of people currently huddling, who all exuded a different atmosphere compared to depressed people of the Institute.
One of these figures was a white-robed person, who was sitting in a cross-legged position as a bright, white gas seeped out of his body. This gas appeared to get thicker and thicker as time passed by, which this person inhaled when it became as large as a basketball.
Clutched within this person's right hand were 12 lustrous green jades, with each one providing power to the white gas. Every now and often some of these jades disintegrate, leaving nothing but dust on their place.
These jades were the ones that appeared to be strengthening that white gas coming out of this person, something that he did not bother to hide.
"Kacha!" After the last portion of the jades got destroyed, the white-robed person waved his hands as a new batch of jades appeared. The cycle then started anew, with the man exhaling another batch of white gas which was then strengthened by the green jades.
"Cultivating in peace is a luxury that I cannot afford." The white-robed person, who was no other than White Alex, murmured to himself as he continued to what he was doing.
His face had a tranquil look on it as he absorbed his latest batch of white gas, which at this point, had already thickened to the extent that it was almost liquid-like.
"But even without peace, cultivation is still possible. After all, the Dao exists in everything, even in the instances of battles." White Alex continued to say as he slurped the liquefied gas like a soup.
"Sigh… if the original Alex can only feel this calm, then he will be able to progress faster in Immortal Cultivation." White Alex continued to say as he slurped another batch of the liquefied gas.
"But I'm already okay with this. I know that he will have difficulties cultivating due to his numerous heart demons. But as long as he manages to accept his past and defeat that Emperor, he will have the mindset needed to be a cultivator…"
"Big Bro White, when will you stop cultivating? I don't like staying in this place much longer…" Standing beside White Alex was Kid Alex, who said these words in a trembling fashion. There was unmistakable fear in his eyes as the vault that they were in continued to tremble, something that White Alex had already ignored.
"Don't worry Kid. We will also leave this place. But for now, we can't do that yet." White Alex replied quickly. "I need time to fuse my foundation with my dao insights, and this place provides me with that."
"But-"
"Besides, we still have another job to do here, so leaving is not really an option for us yet." White Alex chimed in, with his eyes now staring intently at the third occupant of the vault. "Just ask her. She won't let us leave as long as we don't follow her instructions…"
"That's right. If you two s**tstains wants an out, then you better listen to me." The third occupant harshly said. "Do you understand that?"
"Yes…. Big Sis Professor Frances!" Kid Alex replied hastily, looking at the third occupant with a terrified look. "I promise to help you… So please don't turn me into a monster!"
"Hah? Why would I do that to you? I don't target kids, so don't worry. But if you infuriate me, I might change my mind…" The third occupant, who Kid Alex called as Professor Frances, said as she gave the kid a sneer. "And change the way that you call me. Big Sis Professor Frances is too long. Make that d**n thing shorter!"
"Ok… I-I get it. Big Sis Fran."
"What the f*- Argh, you know what, you can just call me that. But don't say it like you love me, ok? You make me feel sick with that look! Do you understand?"
"Okay…"
"Hmph, good. Now bring me that body. I need to use it already." Professor Frances said with a huff as she pointed her finger at Wisteria's unconscious body, which was laid down on the floor.
Her eyes were still closed and her body was still unmoving, which shows how unconcsoius she really was.
She looked beautiful and serene with her current state, although Professor Frances appeard to not give any s**t about that.
"…."
"What are you waiting for? Bring her body to me. I need to use it for the next part of the plan." Professor Frances said in a complaining tone after seeing Kid Alex's hesitation. "I am already tired because of all the sneaking that I had to do just to reach this place. Because of this exhaustion, I have to conserve my strength, and not use it on something stupid.
"…"
"Now, do you understand my dilemma already?"
"Yes, I understand it, Big Sis Fran…"
"Good. So now, could you get her body already?" Professor Frances said with finality, making Kid Alex lower his head a little. "White Alex can't do s**t because of his cultivation, so you're the only one who can work for me. Trust me, you can do this by your own… You want to help original Alex, right? By doing this, you will be helping him out a lot…."

TIME LEFT BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 25 MINUTES
"Look at the Generals that were chasing me earlier. They only bothered to show up now, when there's only 25 minutes left before Emperor LItch arrives? Hmph, talk about being fishy." Golden Alex said, broadcasting these thoughts of his towards original Alex.
"It will be only fishy if they showed themselves 5 minutes before the Emperor arrives. At least they still have the decency to show themselves at this point." Alex replied from his soulscape with a small chuckle coming out of his mouth.
"Hmph, I know what these 4 are trying to do here. They must be thinking of making me surrender peacefully…." Golden Alex replied with a snort as he stared at the four beings that were blocking his path.
These 4 did nothing to hide their power, forcing Golden Alex and the Divine Beings behind him to stop in their tracks.
"So in your opinion, the Dragon King, the Void Master, the Plum Blossom Immortal, and the Wine Ruler all want to talk peacefully to you? Wow, that's just confidence blooming out form you, Golden Alex." Alex wryly replied as he also observed the generals in front of Golden Alex. "With their combined power alone, they can rip you to pieces before you can even react. Do you think they will actually give you time to defend yourself?'
"Of course they will. I have half of Emperor LItch's Conqueror's Aura. If they try to kill me, the Conqueror's Aura in me might disappear. That's something that these generals cannot allow to happen." Golden Alex replied smugly as he gave the 4 generals a provocative look.
"I get what you are saying. Without the Conqueror's Aura that is with you, Emperor Litch will never be back to his peak. In fact, you can say that his path to get stronger is crippled as long as his Conqueror's Aura is incomplete." Alex replied. "So I understand why you are feeling complacent now. However, even if they will try to act slightly courteous to you, that will only last for a short time. Once you have worn their patience thin, these generals will try to subdue you violently…."
"Don't worry about that, original. I know about that too." Golden Alex thought as his eyes landed on Void Master's etherial body. "In fact, I guess that it will be Void Master who will be the first one to lose patience and try attacking me. He's just that immature."
"Amen to that, Golden Alex." Alex replied, with him seemingly enjoying the stand-off between Golden Alex and the generals.
Golden Alex could have continued to say something at this point, but he was interrupted by one of the Generals, who began talking to Golden Alex in a pleasant tone.
"Alex… you may have tried to change your face and appearance, but you can never hide the Conqueror's Aura from us." The General, who Alex pointed out to be the Plum Blossom Immortal, said as he closed his fan. There was an aura of purity and cleanliness from this man as he talked, something that made both Alex and Golden Alex feel uncomfortable.
"So if you know what is good for you, then you better surrender the Conqueror's aura to us already. If you give the Conqueror's Aura to us, we will be paying you a lot of money and we might also forgive your past transgressions on us" Plum Blossom Immortal said, with his refreshing aura continuing to affect Golden Alex. "Now, that's a good deal that I hope you can accept."
"But if you refuse to cooperate with us, then we will have no choice but to make you obey forcefully." Plum Blossom Immortal helpfully added, which was synchronized with the other Generals tensing their bodies.
These generals then hefted their weapons as they stared at Golden Alex warily, as if they were treating him as a high level threat.
"See them? They're raring to beat you into submission already." Plum Blossom Immortal continued to say as he revealed his weapon too. "I'm sorry to say this Alex, but even with your current state, there's no way that you can outfight 4 Generals."
"…"
"So if I were you, I will already accept my offer. There's just nothing else that is better than this." The general said as his aura continued to blast out its relaxing effect. "You either give up your power voluntarily, or you will be stripped of it forcefully. Both has the same end, although the latter will be far more damaging to you. So what do you think? Are you ready to give up now? Just say the word, and we can start the process already."
