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

"What is this?! What is this?!"

Han Jiuquan, who had witnessed the entire birth of the monster up close, exclaimed in shock. He had never seen such a bizarre sight before. His hand holding the sword almost gave way, and he nearly stumbled and fell onto his younger brother, Han Mo.

They appeared out of thin air, without any human-like structure, completely distorted, their bodies even lacking eyes, ears, and limbs, appearing utterly indescribable.

demon.

Purely twisted and filthy.

"Hey... you old pervert..."

Even Ye Yuchan, who had encountered demons before, could not hide her fear at this moment. She subconsciously grabbed Yun Ping's clothes and looked at him in a panic.

Yun Ping glanced back at the gloomy, dark gate and murmured softly:

"Has it already started...?"

"Start...what?"

"The Demonic Sect, the Dark Heaven Blood Drinker, the Slaughtering Pillar, the Ancient Demon Born..."

Yunping recalled the past and took a deep breath: "I never imagined that what they wanted to summon was actually this Demonic and Evil Sect..."

Ye Yuchan and the others standing to the side were completely bewildered, as they had never heard of any such thing as a demonic or evil sect.

Fan Luo Kui frowned, her vast knowledge reminding her of some records about the Abyss of the Demon Clan.

Her cold, pale gold eyes suddenly lit up, and then a rare, somewhat frightening look appeared in them.

"The Demonic Gate, I seem to have heard of it... but wasn't that the gate summoned by the Demon Slayer with his four blood-dripping demonic hearts in ancient times? Why is it here?!"

"What is the Bloodstained Demon Heart...?" Ye Yuchan felt as if she had never studied history at all, and asked blankly, "Why don't I understand anything..."

Yun Ping explained, "Lu Mo had four hearts in total. His heart was the Blood Demon Heart. One of them transformed into the Demonic Clan, which used its blood to summon countless ancient demons. The other three Blood Demon Hearts were destroyed by the Martial Emperor in three separate attacks... which barely destroyed his physical body."

Recalling his past battle with the Demon Slayer, Yun Ping unconsciously shook his head, and his gaze toward the Demonic Sect became particularly eerie.

Even he never imagined that someone would think of rebuilding the Demonic Sect that he had destroyed once before.

It was at this moment that Zhang Ruoxue let out a rather ominous sound—

"Um... I'm sorry to have interrupted your knowledge-sharing time, but I'd like to ask a question..."

As the filthy mud drew ever closer, seemingly forcing them back into its center, cold sweat trickled down Zhang Ruoxue's cheeks. "How are we going to deal with this stuff...?"

indeed.

As time went by, the filthy mud around them drew ever closer, and they had no other way out—they were surrounded by this black mud on all sides, making it extremely difficult to find a way out.

Meanwhile, Han Jiuquan and the others had already begun their battle against the corrupt demon.

That being said, Han Jiuquan and the others were far from being a match for that demon, and they didn't even have the qualifications to fight for more than ten rounds.

After barely managing to deflect the demon's eerie spikes with his sword, Han Jiuquan was sent flying by the immense force, rolling several times on the ground before finally managing to regain his footing.

He stared strangely at the filthy black mud, reluctantly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said:

"This black mud is so strange... why does it feel stronger and stronger..."

"Is it because of this demonic energy...?"

As everyone looked on, they saw that the endless dark demonic energy around them was continuously flowing into the black mud, as if it were becoming nourishment for the mud.

Facing enemies who were never even a match to begin with, and those enemies were even slowly growing stronger...

From any perspective, they are no match for each other.

But Yunping had no intention of taking action. He raised his head, looked at the distant sky, and shouted loudly.

"You fatso, get out there and do some work!"

next second.

Shining with golden light.

Suddenly, a long sword descended from the sky and plunged vertically into the ground in front of Han Jiuquan and the others.

The figure dressed in the robes of the Three Heavens Academy, though somewhat plump, landed with the agility of a swallow, his feet firmly planted on the hilt of the sword, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding the air of a peerless master.

Fan Muyong's expression turned solemn. In the instant his spiritual energy surged, scorching golden flames suddenly erupted from the blade beneath his feet.

With his breath concentrated in his dantian, his words shook heaven and earth.

"retreat!"

Its voice was like thunder, its momentum like a unilateral strike. With a single word, the golden flames on the blade spread rapidly in all directions, and wherever it went, the magnificent and vast flames burned away the filth.

Fan Muyong, Vice Dean of the Three-Day Academy – Peak Void Realm.

His appearance immediately gave Han Jiuquan and the others a glimmer of hope.

However, Fan Muyong turned around and glanced at them, his eyes revealing a hint of reproach.

"Why didn't you all retreat with the crowd? What are you doing here?!"

Han Jiuquan was speechless for a moment, then looked up at the woman on the round platform: "My elder sister is still here...we...can't leave..."

"Your sister?"

Fan Muyong was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and happened to see Han Wuhe's figure. For a moment, he was also stunned.

This whole mess was caused by Han Wu and that brat?!

He glanced blankly at Yun Ping, but Yun Ping gave him no reply, only winking at the Demonic Cult.

Fan Muyong immediately understood, and then said to Han Jiuquan and the others, "We will handle Han Wuhe's matter ourselves. You should leave now..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The dense demonic energy from all directions converged into an endless, pitch-black wave, rushing towards Fan Muyong and the others with even greater force than before.

Seeing this, Fan Muyong dared not be negligent and once again activated his own technique to keep the terrifying wave at bay.

"Damn it, why is the demonic energy in this godforsaken place so strong?!"

Fan Muyong gritted his teeth, glanced back at the disciples of the Three Heavens Academy behind him, and said angrily, "All of you stay behind me and don't stray more than ten meters away from me. If you go more than ten meters away, I'm afraid even I won't be able to protect you!"

After saying this, Fan Muyong turned his gaze to Yun Ping.

He knew that the demonic energy here was extremely heavy, and the demons were gathering at an incredibly fast speed. Even he probably wouldn't be able to break through in a short time. He could only hold his ground to protect the safety of his disciples.

But this can't go on forever, so—

"Teacher... I'm leaving the rest to you."

Han Jiuquan and the others were taken aback upon hearing this.

teacher?

Yunping nodded knowingly, and just as he was about to leave, someone grabbed his sleeve.

He looked down and saw that Xiao Lin Yuan's face was sparkling with excitement, as if she longed for something.

"Yuan'er...?"

"Teacher, take Yuan'er with you!"

"..."

A strange glint flashed in Yunping's eyes. He frowned, and his expression suddenly changed.

Then, his brows relaxed, and he nodded.

"it is good."

He turned his head and looked at Ye Yuchan and the others: "You're coming with me too."

"Eh? We also..."

Ye Yuchan's instinct was to refuse.

Because no one knows what will happen on that round platform.

However, if there's an old rogue protecting them...

"Alright, don't overthink it—just come with me, and I will protect you all."

Yun Ping waved his hand, suddenly forming several profound and mysterious hand seals that enveloped everyone. Then, he and the others transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

In fact, he had his reasons for bringing Ye Yuchan and the others along.

Because this incident is definitely related to that woman.

The incident in the dusty soil last time made Yunping wary of that woman. If Ye Yuchan and the others were left here, what if that woman attacked them...

Even Yunping might not have had time to react.

Therefore, it's best to keep her with you, especially since... Yuan'er's situation is rather strange.

"Vice Dean—"

After Yun Ping and the others disappeared with the light, Han Jiuquan, who was standing in the very center of the towering golden wall of fire, swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.

"That young man in white just now...you called him...teacher...is that true?"

Fan Muyong glanced back at Han Jiuquan, his face solemn and stern, a stark contrast to his previous interactions with Yun Ping. He asked with an air of authority, "Do I look like someone who would joke around?"

"Then...then his identity..."

When faced with Han Jiuquan's question, Fan Muyong grinned.

Do you know the statue on Emperor Wen's platform?

"Know……"

"What if I told you that what you just saw was the statue itself—"

Do you believe it?

Do you believe it?

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a sudden, profound silence.

Everyone except Han Jiuquan looked like they'd seen a ghost!

Because the one who said this was not some storyteller under a bridge, nor some charlatan who often spreads rumors, but the famous vice-principal of the Three Heavens Academy, a peak Void Realm expert who was only one step away from becoming a saint!

What such a person says, even if it's false, will seem like the truth!
