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

On the other side, Luo Kui bowed deeply to Fan Muyong with a solemn expression and said respectfully:

"Junior sister Fan Luokui greets senior brother."

Fan Muyong blinked blankly, staring at Fan Luokui who suddenly bowed to him, not reacting for a moment.

Yunping patted the boy on the shoulder, dissuading him from bowing back: "This is Luo Kui's habit, just pretend nothing happened."

Although he still found it strange, Fan Muyong had no choice but to listen to Yunping since it was Yunping's word.

Although seeing this chubby boy made Yunping feel quite good, seeing the little chubby boy who used to get tired after running behind him for a few steps grow up to what he is today, he, as the teacher, felt quite accomplished.

but--

"Alright, we've exchanged pleasantries and gotten to know each other, so let's get down to business, shall we?"

Yun Ping leaned back in his chair, and a few strange lights gradually appeared in his eyes, which were as unfathomable as the night. The moment Fan Muyong caught those eyes, he felt as if his very soul had been seen through.

He coughed twice, then turned around and winked at Li Xuangang, who looked like a child who had done something wrong.

Although Li Xuangang held a high position within the Three-Day Academy, he was no match for Vice Dean Fan Muyong. He immediately approached Fan Muyong with trepidation.

Immediately—

thump.

He immediately knelt down before Yunping.

This scene truly caught Yunping somewhat off guard.

Fan Muyong glanced coldly at Li Xuangang, his tone indifferent: "I, Fatty Fan, already know about what happened between the Duan and Su families. This kid should have been there at the time, right?"

Yes, that's true.

Yun Ping glanced at Li Xuangang, but there was no chilling intent in his eyes.

"However, he is not a member of the Duan family, he did not do anything for anyone, and he did not insult anyone from Yuntian Academy. This kneeling makes me feel a little confused."

"Is that right?"

Fan Muyong lowered his head and stared intently at Li Xuangang.

Li Xuangang, whose body already appeared somewhat frail, suddenly shivered twice, and then said somewhat incoherently, "Although I was invited by the Duan family to the banquet, I really did not do anything for the Duan family, nor was I involved in the wedding of the young man from the Duan family and the young woman from the Su family. My appearance that time was purely accidental."

"Please don't blame me, sir..."

So he came to apologize because he was afraid that his anger would implicate him.

Yun Ping gave a wry smile. He had no intention of teaching Li Xuangang a lesson. People are just passing by, and they are as innocent as they can be. He was not some kind of killing god. So why did Li Xuangang think that he was indiscriminately killing innocent people?

"Alright, alright." Yun Ping waved his hand impatiently. He didn't find it particularly pleasant to see someone kneeling down; instead, he felt uneasy. He quickly told Li Xuangang to get up: "Don't keep kneeling. It's uncomfortable to watch. I didn't intend to involve your Three-Day Academy. You yourself said it was just an accident."

"Did you hear that?" Fan Muyong glanced at Li Xuangang and said coldly, "If you heard that, why aren't you getting up? Why aren't you thanking your master?"

"Thank you... thank you, Master."

"Screw you, he's my teacher, not yours!"

As soon as Li Xuangang stood up, Fan Muyong punched him in the head.

However, that punch was extremely light, after all, they were all on the same side, how could they really fight back?

Others might not be able to see it, but Yunping saw it clearly. These two probably had planned it before they came, trying their best not to transfer his anger to the Three-Day Academy.

So, this kind and amiable person was actually seen as a devil by these two people in front of him?

Watching the two of them bickering and making a ruckus, the old rogue got tired of watching the show and went straight to the point.

"Alright, stop fooling around and just tell us. I don't believe you came here just to perform this crosstalk for me. You're not from Deyun Society."

Deyun Society?

Clearly, Li Xuangang and his group had never heard of this special term before.

Only one silver-haired girl in the crowd twitched her lips twice—and you know what, Fan Muyong really does look a bit like a famous crosstalk comedian.

"Cough cough—" Although he didn't quite understand what Yunping was saying, Fan Muyong still understood the general meaning. He quickly coughed twice, putting away his previous feigned anger and dissatisfaction.

Instead, there was a sense of chilling dread.

"To be honest, this visit was out of necessity, because Dean Cao had ordered us not to disturb your peace."

"But... just five days ago, a huge incident happened in the Three-Day Academy. I've thought about it a lot, and I'm afraid only you have the ability to answer it."

"That sounds so mysterious—" Yunping rubbed his chin, showing some interest: "What exactly is it?"

Fan Muyong paused for a moment before taking a deep breath.

About five seconds later, the heavy words finally came out of his mouth.

"Directly beneath the Three Heavens Academy, a door connecting to the Abyss of Demons seems to have been discovered..."

"And after Dean Cao went to investigate with several of his trusted confidants..."

"He never returned, and to this day, there is still no news of him."

44. How to bankrupt the Three-Day Academy?

Cao Qingluo possesses the body of a sage, whose mind, body, and will are connected to the vast Dao of Heaven and Earth. If his physical body perishes, as long as his soul remains, he will have the opportunity to be reborn and reincarnate as a human.

Logically speaking, there are very few beings in this world who understand the methods of the soul, and they are all ancient beings who have lost track of time. As long as Cao Qingluo's soul has not been erased by someone who understands the methods of the soul, the dean of the Three Heavens Academy should not have remained silent until now.

This is also the reason why it is said that those below the sage know about life and death, and those above the sage traverse the cycle of reincarnation.

Basically, the saints of these three heavenly realms, as long as they do not want to die and have not encountered such ancient and terrifying beings, have absolutely no connection with death.

Of course, the old rogue didn't think that Cao Qingluo would die so cleanly.

Moreover, it's just that there's been no news of him, which doesn't necessarily mean that the sage Cao Qingluo has perished.

but--

"The Abyss of the Demon Race?"

Yunping frowned; he didn't think it was a good thing that this thing had appeared at the Three-Day Academy.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Abyss of the Demon Clan was. A place that could be personally named "Abyss" by Emperor Gu Tianren was naturally more like the abyss of hell than any other place.

If one had to describe it, the Abyss of the Demon Race wouldn't be considered a purely void realm. Rather, it's more like the opposite of the three great celestial domains. Unlike the established order and rules of the three great celestial domains, that wretched place, the Abyss of the Demon Race, has absolutely no concept of rules or reason.

It was pure, utter chaos, far more chaotic than any chaos imagined by anyone who had never seen the Abyss of the Demons—it was the realm of instinct, the ultimate of **, or rather… a place where no phenomenon could be explained by logic at all.

Vast and boundless, without gods or form, the Abyss of the Demon Race is not a visible or tangible area among the three great heavenly domains.

In order to completely seal away the rampaging Demon Slayer and his thousands of demon servants for eternity, Emperor Wu of the past, Gu Tianren, with his own True Immortal power, forcibly tore open a rift in the outer space of the three Heavenly Domains, and then used this rift as the center to create a brand new small world.

Yes, if we really want to calculate it, the essence of the Abyss of Demons is similar to that of the Secret Realm.

However, unlike the secret realm, the Abyss of the Demon Race has no core existence. It can exist without relying on anything, and as long as it is not attacked by a True Immortal, the Abyss of the Demon Race will not have any cracks.

To prevent those demonic creatures from emerging from inside, Gu Tianren specially created a seal imprinted with his own primordial power, called the Abyss Suppression Seal.

However, the Abyss Seal cannot work on those weaker demons—it's like a sieve, only able to block some of the stronger demons, but unable to work on those weak little devils.

However, those little guys who crawled out of the Demon Abyss couldn't cause any trouble, so the old rogue didn't bother with them.

“Yes…” Fan Muyong took a deep breath. His fat, oily face looked somewhat pale under the bright moonlight. He quickly explained to Yun Ping, his former mentor, “And to be precise, what lies beneath our academy is not just the Abyss of the Demon Clan, but also a… very unique door.”

"Door?"

Yunping had no recollection of setting up any doors.

Seemingly thinking of something unpleasant, Yunping narrowed his eyes and finally straightened his posture: "Tell me in detail, what is this door like?"

"It's hard to explain. In fact, with my abilities... I simply couldn't sense the existence of that door." Fan Muyong looked ashamed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "Dean Cao told me this himself. Although I suggested going, Dean Cao stopped me..."

The reason is simple.

Cao Qingluo knew that once she went there, she might not be able to return.

Yunping knew Cao Qingluo's personality very well. He always thought about his own way out after failure. The reason why he did not let Fan Muyong, the vice dean, go with him was obviously because he sensed that something was wrong with the Abyss of the Demon Clan.

In fact, Yunping himself had some doubts about the Abyss of the Demon Clan.

He was able to directly connect to the Abyss of the Demon Clan, but that was all; he couldn't actually see what was inside. He could do that, but once inside, getting out would take a lot of effort, and then his disciples would be left unattended.

Although he could only sense a slight change, Yunping was certain that the change was real.

The Abyss Seal that I set up back then... is loosening.

According to the old rogue's own thinking at the time, this Abyss Seal could seal the Demon Slayer and his servants for at least five million years, and it was only after five million years that it might loosen.

But now... that time hasn't come yet.

"Dean Cao said...that door was very unusual, and it didn't seem to exist to break the restrictions of the Demon Abyss, but it contained quite strange demonic energy, which is why he took his confidants there."

"And then he never came back..."

Yunping roughly understood the situation, but he had to admit that he couldn't get any useful information from those words alone.

If he wanted to know exactly what had happened, he only had one option—

Go to the academy for three days.

This is clearly in line with Fan Muyong's original intention in coming to this place.

That's true...

Yun Ping's slightly meaningful gaze fell on Fan Muyong. "So, you specifically asked me to solve this problem, right?"

"Hehehe..." Fan Muyong could easily see the smile on his teacher's face, so he chuckled back, "I'm not very bright, but after thinking it over, I figured only you could solve this, so I came here specifically to find you~"

"Moreover, it would be an honor for our academy if you were to return for three days. Coincidentally, the position of dean is still vacant. Why don't you come back and teach for a while?"

Yun Ping rolled his eyes at the chubby boy: "You wish! Besides, Xiao Cao just disappeared, he's not even dead yet, and you're already arranging things for him?"

"Even if Dean Cao were here, knowing you were coming, he would definitely be willing to give up his position to you. There is no one in the world more suitable for the position of Dean of the Three-Day Academy than you, wouldn't you say?"

"I don't have the time to be the dean of a three-day academy. I have a whole bunch of disciples waiting for me to support them."

Yun Ping spread his hands and looked at the disciples of Yuntian Academy standing on either side of him.

Jiang Yuetian nodded in complete agreement with her teacher's words—without her teacher's financial support, Zhang Ruoxue and Lin Yuan, those two gluttons, could easily have bankrupted the entire Yuntian Academy within three days.

Thinking about it this way, the entire college really is just supported by that old rogue.

—No wonder he's a man with countless mountains of gold in his storage ring.
