Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

After the two girls went in, Mr. Fu followed them in... His responsibility was to make sure they didn't do anything suspicious.

……

and many more?

Is something wrong?

Suddenly realizing the problem, Ye Yuchan froze at the entrance of the narrow passage. Her stop startled Zhang Ruoxue behind her.

Even Elder Fu stopped and glanced at Ye Yuchan, puzzled.

"...Speaking of which..."

Ye Yuchan stiffly turned her head, and in the cold space, there was a faint sheen of cold sweat on her forehead.

Has anyone seen that old scoundrel...?

……

Ok?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized what was going on.

That young man, the one who went into the deep ice cave with them, has disappeared without a trace!

112. The Old Cloud That Disappeared and Reappeared

Yunping has disappeared.

Theoretically speaking, this is absolutely impossible.

With Fan Luo Kui, who had reached the Transcendental Stage, guarding them from the front, and an unfathomable old man watching closely from behind, how could a living person, someone who had been right in front of them for so long, just disappear like that?

More importantly, not only were Fan Luokui and the old man surprised by Yun Ping's disappearance, but even the two female disciples who had been following Yun Ping were stunned.

What's going on?

Looking around, there was no sign of that old rogue anywhere.

To others, Lao Yun didn't even show the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, so it was impossible to pinpoint his location using spiritual energy.

Ye Yuchan looked at Zhang Ruoxue, and Zhang Ruoxue looked back at Ye Yuchan. The two female disciples were completely dumbfounded.

I've seen people throw away magical artifacts and gold coins, but I've never seen anyone actually kill someone.

This is probably what is meant by "shameful".

"No, I mean, neither of you... saw where he went?"

Ye Yuchan ultimately placed her hopes on the two powerful figures with profound cultivation levels.

Fan Luo Kui's face stiffened. Always straightforward, she didn't choose to avoid the awkward question. "I really didn't see it..."

"Aren't you at the Transcendent God stage...?"

"I don't know either!" Fan Luokui said with a bitter face. She really knew nothing. "I couldn't even sense his presence. It was as if he had completely disappeared."

After saying that, she turned her hopeful gaze to an old man.

If Fan Luo Kui remembered correctly, Elder Fu's cultivation level had reached the astonishing Nascent Soul stage many years ago, and at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which was two major realms higher than her own.

Could it be that he also...?

Zhang Ruoxue seemed to have thought of this as well. She looked at the elderly man behind her, and unfortunately caught the fleeting smirk on his face.

Well—that's something I don't know either.

When Elder Fu noticed the change in Zhang Ruoxue's expression, he immediately lost face. "Ahem, well... I was just thinking about some things. Perhaps your teacher disappeared while I was pondering."

It sounds like complete nonsense.

In reality, Yun Ping's elusive skills were so unpredictable that even a powerful cultivator like himself couldn't detect him. This explanation was merely a cover-up for his own miscalculation.

Ye Yuchan waved her hand, not bothering to listen to the guy's explanation.

"So what do we do now, wait for him to come to us himself?"

"The terrain here is so complex that if your teacher gets lost, I think it will be very difficult to find him."

“Indeed…” Ye Yuchan glanced at Fan Luokui. When Fan Luokui led the way earlier, Ye Yuchan felt that this deep ice cave was almost like a maze. “But the old rogue should be able to locate us, right?”

Upon hearing this, Old Fu pondered for a moment.

“Theoretically speaking, it’s also very difficult. In this deep ice cave, divine sense is basically automatically erased. In other words, it’s almost impossible to locate you with pure divine sense.”

Ye Yuchan then made another suggestion.

"How about... we fight here for a while and make some noise?"

Zhang Ruoxue suddenly slapped her forehead. "You got addicted to fighting with me before, didn't you?"

Ye Yuchan smiled undeniably, admitting that the process of suppressing her cultivation and fighting Zhang Ruoxue in the martial arts arena had been incredibly addictive. This was the first time in her life that she had ever enjoyed fighting so much.

However, this proposal was also rejected.

The person who vetoed it was Fan Luokui.

“The range of sound in this deep ice cave is extremely limited, and the area of ​​the deep ice cave is astonishingly large. If he really gets lost from us, by the time he returns to the area where he can hear the sounds of our fighting, who knows how long it will be.”

"There's such a saying..." Ye Yuchan was surprised.

In this way, it seems that all methods have become options with extremely low success rates.

In other words, this old rogue has mysteriously disappeared, and there's no guarantee he'll ever come back.

Ye Yuchan immediately refused to believe it. Knowing Yunping so well, she could tell without even using her brain or her breasts that the old rogue was probably plotting some scheme in the dark, or that he had been seduced by some pretty girl again.

Wait, a pretty girl?

Ye Yuchan's gaze immediately fell upon the narrow passage that was shimmering with a faint light not far away.

A strange thought popped into her head—"Could that old scoundrel be waiting for us inside?!"

Zhang Ruoxue was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Zhang Ruoxue had personally experienced the mysterious and unpredictable nature of her own teacher. The terrifying scene in Jinglin City and the shattering of her soul at Zuiyang Tower had convinced her that her teacher was no ordinary person.

If he didn't get lost, nor was he taken away by anything, the remaining possibility is that he has already reached his destination.

However, Fan Luokui was not Yunping's apprentice, and she did not trust Yunping.

“That’s impossible.” She denied Ye Yuchan for the second time. “There is only one passage leading to the inside. The other passages either lead to a huge space or a dead end. We didn’t see anyone ahead of us along the way, not even a trace.”

"Is that so..."

Ye Yuchan wasn't too frustrated by the rejection, after all, she knew that Fan Luokui was a straightforward person and it was normal that she couldn't understand her trust in Yunping.

She always felt that Yunping was waiting for her there.

It was at this moment that someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

Being touched on her sensitive and soft parts in such a dark space, Ye Yuchan, being a woman and rather timid, immediately screamed and jumped up.

She turned her head and looked at Zhang Ruoxue, who was startled by her scream, with a look of horror on her face.

Her body trembled, and her voice quivered: "Ruoxue, why did you suddenly scare me!"

"Scare you?" Zhang Ruoxue tilted her head in confusion. "How did I scare you?"

Ye Yuchan hugged her arms, her face as pale as the surrounding snowdrifts. "Didn't you just suddenly bump into me?"

Zhang Ruoxue was even more confused now, her adorable and bewildered expression was perfect for making a meme, "What? I didn't touch you... I've been standing here the whole time, I haven't moved an inch."

Ye Yuchan: "..."

She suddenly turned her gaze to Fan Luokui on the other side. If it wasn't Zhang Ruoxue, then it could only be her!

Did you scare me just now?

“No.” Fan Luokui shook her head, her honest gaze revealing no trace of lying. “I wouldn’t do something so boring and meaningless.”

"..."

For some reason, even though the other party had only said a few words, Ye Yuchan couldn't bring herself to refute them.

Perhaps it was because the girl spoke in such an honest tone that she seemed like a very honest person.

But that's strange. Who touched me just now?

--now.

A hand quietly touched Ye Yuchan's pert and round buttocks, and gave her little bottom a hard squeeze.

The sudden touch and the tingling sensation that spread throughout her body like an electric current made Ye Yuchan shiver as if she had been electrocuted. She turned her head quickly, so fast that she even used her Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body.

Even so, all she could see was a void of darkness.

...Is this some kind of ghost?

The pitch-black darkness, the tickling sensation as if feathers were pricking sensitive areas, and the chills that crept up her spine and into her heart—as a truly frail woman, Ye Yuchan had always felt a certain... fear of ghosts and spirits.

And now, this unseen hand seems to be declaring to her—

She's being haunted by a ghost!

*gulp*—swallowing saliva.

"Um, everyone—"

She looked around and noticed that everyone around her was staring at her with strange looks.

"Do you ever feel a chill down your spine, like there's something... lurking around you?"

"What is it?" Fan Luokui tried her best to sense the changes in her surroundings, and after a moment she replied, "No, I don't sense anything."

Old Master Fu chimed in, "Neither do I. Miss, are you perhaps being too nervous?"

nervous?

Just kidding! Her butt was touched, okay?!

Just as Ye Yuchan was about to retort, a dark shadow fell from the sky and briefly obscured her vision.

Before she could react, a magnified face covered in black dust appeared in front of her, no more than five centimeters away.

Those wide-open eyes, accompanied by a terrifying smile that sent chills down one's spine, directly impacted the depths of Ye Yuchan's soul.
