The Sealed Celestial Master Academy

Lin Shen and the other three had barely arrived outside the Celestial Master Academy when they spotted, from afar, a large contingent of Celestial Guards stationed around it.

The Celestial Master Academy had once been a place not even dogs would spare a glance for. How could it possibly have had so many guards protecting it?

Now, it was certain that the Celestial Master Academy had been taken over.

Yet when Lin Shen saw people guarding the place, a thread of hope rose in his heart instead.

If everyone had been taken away, there would have been no need for so many people to guard a place like the Celestial Master Academy.

Such a large force of guards suggested that there might still be people inside—or at least something worth guarding.

People would naturally be best. Even if Ouyang Yudu was not inside, those within could still provide him with some information.

"Stop right there. This is a restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden from entering." The guards at the gate stopped Lin Shen and the others.

"Do you know who I am?" Lin Shen asked the guard.

"It makes no difference who you are. The Celestial Master Academy has been sealed. No one is allowed inside." The guard stared at Lin Shen as he spoke.

"So, you do recognize me." Lin Shen said mildly, "I will not make things difficult for you. It is fine if I do not go in. Just tell me whether there is anyone left inside the Celestial Master Academy."

The guard laughed at that. "Lin Shen, you think far too highly of yourself. This is not the past. Our Celestial Race's Heavenly Emperor is Lord An Yi now, not your master. What gives you the right to make things difficult for me?"
