Chapter 184: First a Knock, Then a Treat!
The Great Elder and the Vice Dean nodded, showing their agreement with Xiao Ze's words. Xiao Yi Xian had made invaluable contributions to the academy, and her strength was no small matter. If an elder had to be chosen to oversee the Secret Institute, aside from Xiao Ze, the best choice would be Xiao Yi Xian.
"Moreover, I have means to control the Jin and Yin brothers. This method, after my departure, can only be used by Xiao Yi Xian."
Xiao Ze played another strong card, leaving the Great Elder and the Vice Dean stunned. "You can control the Jin and Yin brothers?"
"Even if separated, each of them is a strong Dou Huang level fighter. Controlling those two..."
The Great Elder was surprised, saying that Xiao Ze's methods were truly endless. "Then it's decided. Xiao Yi Xian will be the Vice Dean of the newly established Secret Institute, with the same powers as Vice Dean Hu Qian."
The Great Elder concluded this decision. Seeing a smile on Xiao Ze's face, his eyes gleamed, and he said with a smile, "However, young man, you and Xiao Yi Xian will share the position of Vice Dean."
"Ah? But I will soon be leaving for the Central Region..."
"What does it matter? As long as one of you is doing the work, it's enough. It's like the Dean, who travels the world and doesn't handle academy affairs."
The Great Elder laughed. "Xiao Ze, don't refuse. Becoming Vice Dean of the Secret Institute will earn you everyone's respect."
Vice Dean Hu Qian commented significantly, making Xiao Ze thoughtful and understanding. Although Xiao Yi Xian's strength and merits were notable, her youth made it difficult for her to gain everyone's respect. If he also assumed the position of Vice Dean, most objections in the academy would disappear.
"Xiao Yi Xian as Vice Dean of the Secret Institute is the best choice for both the academy and her." The Great Elder intervened suddenly. "After all, when Xiao Yi Xian became an Elder of the Inner Academy, if it hadn't been for you, young man, the elders' meeting probably wouldn't have approved it."
Xiao Ze slightly frowned and sighed, "Yes, the Poison Body is hard for people to accept." "Xiao Yi Xian in charge of the Secret Institute's affairs will also calm many of those old men," the Vice Dean smiled.
Then, Xiao Ze called Xiao Yi Xian and informed her about the matters related to the Secret Institute. Xiao Yi Xian accepted without hesitation. After all, Xiao Ze had initially brought her out of Qingshan City under the pretext of needing an assistant. Although Xiao Ze had not treated her as a subordinate over the years, Xiao Yi Xian always wanted to do something for him. Becoming Vice Dean of the Secret Institute would allow her to help Xiao Ze more. Moreover, with Xiao Ze also taking on the position of Vice Dean, Xiao Yi Xian felt even more motivated.
Then, the four of them discussed the planning of the Secret Institute for a long time. The management of the Secret Institute could not be the same as that of the internal and external academies. Because they faced the Black Horn Region, and even most of their members would be recruited from there. They needed to show cruelty and skill to dominate those wrongdoers. Finally, they decided that the main positions would be controlled by the academy, and the rest would be recruited from the Black Horn Region.
Recruiting the strong from the Black Horn Region was relatively simple. They just needed to offer enough benefits and have enough power to intimidate them. These two things could be handled solely by Xiao Ze, but considering he might not be in the Secret Institute in the future, he had to leave Xiao Yi Xian some means.
Xiao Ze was a level seven alchemist, which was enough to attract countless strong people from the Black Horn Region. Then, the four of them went to the place where the Jin and Yin brothers were detained. Xiao Ze gathered two streams of poisonous power in his hands. Since they were not in combat, he did not need to make them colorless and odorless. Seeing the ominous streams in Xiao Ze's hands, the faces of the Jin and Yin brothers slightly changed.
"What, what do you plan to do?" Xiao Ze ignored them and moved his wrist. Puff! Puff! The two streams of poisonous power penetrated the hearts of the Jin and Yin brothers, traveling through their bodies via their bloodstream.
The Jin and Yin brothers showed expressions of pain. Xiao Ze said to Xiao Yi Xian:
"Try to control it. That could cause them extreme pain or even instant death."
Xiao Yi Xian closed her eyes and felt the power, moving her fingers slightly.
The Jin and Yin brothers screamed in pain as if they were enduring extreme torture, with bulging veins on their faces, looking terrifying.
The Grand Elder and the Vice Principal exchanged glances, surprised that Xiao Ze had such methods.
"Please, please! No more!"
"We will obey your orders, whatever you want us to do."
Xiao Yi Xian temporarily stopped the control, allowing the Jin and Yin brothers to breathe, and they quickly agreed. They did not want to experience that pain again.
Xiao Ze nodded in satisfaction. He had never planned to negotiate with them.
These old men had committed many wrongdoings in the Black Horn Region, abusing their power.
"Good, we have the first members of the Dark Academy."
Xiao Ze smiled.
The Jin and Yin brothers felt a chill. Until now, they didn't even know what the Dark Academy was.
In the following days, the Grand Elder and the Vice Principal, seeing that Xiao Ze handled things orderly, felt at ease leaving matters to him and Xiao Yi Xian.
The headquarters of the Dark Academy was established in Feng City.
This city was prosperous, and controlling it would generate considerable benefits.
It would also serve as the initial base for the Dark Academy.
During these days, the Jin and Yin brothers also learned about the existence of the Dark Academy.
After Xiao Ze offered them some benefits, they became more active and diligent in recruiting people for the academy.
At the former headquarters of the Black Alliance, Xiao Ze reviewed the list given to him by the Jin and Yin brothers, nodding in satisfaction. When they left, Xiao Ze said to Xiao Yi Xian:
"These old men may seem obedient now, but they are like cunning wolves."
"To completely tame a cunning wolf is impossible. The best way is to give them a stick and then a treat to make them work faithfully."
"You should also familiarize yourself with controlling the poisonous power in their bodies."
"It's best if the poisonous power activates automatically if they even think about harming you, leaving them defenseless."
Xiao Ze advised carefully, and Xiao Yi Xian took his words seriously.
"As for the function of the Dark Academy, it is naturally to eliminate external threats to Jia Nan Academy and protect the students. And of course, in the process, you can also collect precious herbs, pill formulas, combat techniques, and cultivation methods..."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, smiling, and said:
"I understand. The Black Horn Region is a lawless land. Precious items from all over the continent can appear. I won't miss them."
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian understood, Xiao Ze nodded in satisfaction.
"Then, I will temporarily return to the Inner Academy. If you face something that even the Jin and Yin brothers can't handle, send me a message."
Xiao Yi Xian watched Xiao Ze leave, took the list on the table, and began selecting members for the Dark Academy.
Xiao Ze, on the other hand, headed directly to the Alchemy Department, planning to ask Elder Huo if they had the possibility of recommending him to study at the Dan Tower.
