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

Moreover, Fan Muyong at this moment doesn't seem to be lying at all!

And what about Han Jiuquan?

His expression was much more interesting.

He was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the soaring light, so frightened that he dropped the sword in his hand to the ground.

He finally understood why Han Qingying, the head of the Han family, had returned looking disheveled and acting crazy.

She also understood why Han Qingying had dislocated Han Mo's arm and severely injured her when she told Han Mo she wanted to seek revenge on Yuntian Academy.

This guy... is someone no one can afford to mess with.

He remained silent for a long time before asking again, "Then... Vice Dean... with him taking action this time, our Three-Day Academy should... be safe and sound, right?"

"..."

Fan Muyong hesitated for a few seconds, his gaze bypassing the wall of fire and landing on the Demonic Gate in the distance, which was constantly emitting demonic energy. Then he slowly closed his eyes.

His answer was simple, just three words, but it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"do not know."

Even knowing Yunping's identity, his answer was still those three words.

Because he genuinely didn't know.

He had no idea what was hidden behind that door...

But one thing he was certain of was—

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

If the old rumors are true, then the academy will be facing—

These were nearly a thousand ancient demons whose strength was enough to rival even those at the peak of the Void Transformation stage or those with saintly bodies.

It might even be possible...

It is the Demon Slayer itself.

77. Is she a demon?

The world suddenly spun around, and when vision cleared, a terrifying demonic aura, like a vast, dark sky, swept in from all directions.

dong dong dong-

Several cracks suddenly appeared in the ground directly in front of the Demonic Gate. From these cracks, blood-red light, staining the sky for miles around, burst forth. Accompanied by a violent roar, the Eight Pillars stood tall.

The eight pillars were surrounded by a large amount of indescribable blood-red sludge. The material that made up the pillars was not bricks or soil, but something indescribable, resembling flesh and blood, stained with blood, and slowly wriggling.

An evil aura emanated from these eight pillars of flesh and blood, and the exceptionally strong stench of blood caused some cultivators who had never been on the battlefield to kneel and vomit.

Ye Yuchan, who had never seen such a scene before, trembled, her eyes widened, and she bent over, her stomach churning.

She had never smelled such a strong stench of blood before. It was as if a towering structure of corpses and blood stood before her, and the endless rivers of blood completely engulfed her.

Every breath in and out is an impact on the mind and spirit.

Not only her, but also Zhang Ruoxue and others.

Even Fan Luo Kui, who had once been the captain of the trial team and had witnessed many bloody and brutal scenes, looked extremely pale and unwell at this moment, and it was clear that her mind had also been affected to some extent.

Inside the arena, the only one who didn't react was the white-clad youth standing on the circular platform, protecting Ye Yuchan and the others.

Yun Ping cast several spells, then waved his hand, and as the vast spiritual energy emanated, pure gold dust fell from the sky onto the disciples.

As the dust came into contact with everyone's bodies, the nauseating sense of oppression and fear vanished instantly. A thin, pale golden film enveloped their bodies, continuously nourishing and protecting their souls.

"The appearance of the Slaughtering Ape Pillar... has it reached the final stage?"

Yunping looked at the eight pillars around him, his brows furrowed and his face extremely grave.

He knew more about the Demonic and Evil Sect than anyone else present.

From the initial manifestation of the demonic and malevolent forces, to the Great Dark Heaven where blood surged, followed by the appearance of the Eight Pillars of Apes, all the steps have been completed, leaving only the final one—

An ancient demon was born.

The myriad ancient demons that were derived from a single drop of blood from the Demon Slayer's heart were all at least at the peak of the Void Realm. Among these myriad ancient demons, those comparable to saints numbered in the hundreds.

Even the ancient demons at the demigod level... there were a total of eight of them.

This is why, in the ancient times, all three heavenly domains were corrupted by the Demon Slayer. Even in that era where strength meant death, few could contend with the eight ancient demons at the half-immortal level, let alone the Demon Slayer itself.

If this ceremony were to be completed...

Yunping can guarantee the safety of all disciples of Yuntian Academy, but for these three days at the academy—

He might not be able to completely protect it.

Therefore, the question fell on the four figures in the distance.

"They've finally arrived—"

Standing about a hundred meters away from Yun Ping, the demon woman named Xiao Mei looked at the white-robed youth with a faint smile and a meaningful gaze, her lips slightly upturned.

“If you hadn’t come, the ceremony would have gone too smoothly, and I would have found that strange.”

Did you know I would come?

Yunping frowned; he had a very shallow impression of the demon woman in front of him.

He tried to take a step forward to close the distance between them, but the moment he lifted his foot, Xiao Mei stopped him with a sharp voice.

"Stand still and do not make any rash moves!"

Her cold, sharp eyes were fixed on Yunping. Although she tried her best to hide it, a hint of fear still appeared on her face.

Clearly, she knew Yunping's abilities.

He also knew that he had to control this person, otherwise everything might come to an end.

Xiao Mei's gaze fell on Duan Xingchen, who was bound by countless black shackles and whose lower body was submerged in black mud, and her tone was full of confidence.

"My soul is now connected to Duan Xingchen's life. With just a thought, this adorable little girl could perish."

“That sir said that you are someone we must be wary of, but I think that at least before you kill me, I should still be able to have some thoughts. What do you think?”

Duan Xingchen... huh?

Yunping glanced at Duan Xingchen, and unconsciously recalled the words of his old friend, Shengjie Xuanjin.

That day... while he was still on the ferry heading to the Netherworld, he clearly heard the last words that the Holy Black Gold instructed him to say.

He entrusted Duan Xingchen to himself.

Yunping could not refuse his old friend's request.

But for now, he still maintains an indifferent attitude, with dead fish eyes and an extremely flippant tone.

"What does this girl's life or death have to do with me? If you want her life, then take it."

"Old rogue...?"

Ye Yuchan stared at Yun Ping in astonishment, but then she realized what was going on.

Because she saw the incantation slowly forming on Yunping's palms, which were behind his back.

—Trying to distract the other person with words, then deliver a fatal blow...?

However, Xiao Mei smiled at Yun Ping's remarks.

Her hand suddenly reached into the demonic and malevolent gate, and then dragged out a shadow that Yun Ping knew all too well from the dark vortex.

puff-

A pale, gaunt figure, as aged as a dried corpse, fell heavily to the ground. Everyone stared blankly, then, astonished, discovered that this person was none other than the headmaster of the Three-Day Academy—

Cao Qingluo!

"If you don't care about Duan Xingchen's life, then you should at least care about his, right?"

The magic seal that Yunping was forming in his palm suddenly stopped, then turned into stardust and disappeared without a trace.

He gazed silently at Cao Qingluo, who lay motionless on the ground as if he were already dead, and swept his divine sense over her.

—Cao Qingluo's physical body was on the verge of death, and even his soul was extremely weak... Even the most ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator could now deliver a fatal blow to Cao Qingluo.

But he is still alive.

They're barely alive.

Xiao Mei stepped on Cao Qingluo's chest, then put her arm around Han Wuhe's shoulder and laughed, "Just in case, our Wuhe's soul is still connected to this Dean's life... I think even you probably couldn't save two people at the same time, right?"

Han Wu smiled upon hearing this, but the smile looked particularly eerie.

Standing behind Yun Ping, Ye Yuchan's gaze fell on Han Wuhe. She took a deep breath and asked, "Han Wuhe... why did you do this?!"

"If it were just a factional dispute within the One Word Sect, there would have been no need to escalate to this point... and even take Xingchen hostage..."

"What exactly are you—"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Don't ask her anymore, it's useless."

Yunping spoke up, interrupting Ye Yuchan's question.

The silver-haired girl's expression froze, and she turned to Yunping in confusion: "Why...why?"

"This matter has had absolutely nothing to do with K-pop from the very beginning—"

Yun Ping pointed to the fox demon standing behind Xiao Mei, who had a wicked smile on her face and a faint purple glow in her eyes. "Han Wu is just a puppet for them to use."

"Varied……"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan looked over and indeed noticed that Han Wu's expression was inexplicably stiff.

Thinking back carefully, when she went to the Han family compound, Han Wuhe acted normally, but the fox demon and Xiao Mei never left Han Wuhe's side. In the end, they even used their charm on Ye Yuchan.

If it weren't for the hidden array in the sachet given to her by Jiang Shaoguang, she might have become obedient to Xiao Mei and the other person.

"It is extremely difficult for a demon to infiltrate the Three Heavens Academy..."

Jiang Shaoguang seemed to understand the whole story, and sighed to himself, "That's why they deliberately seduced the disciples of the academy for three days, pretending to be the bloodline contract demons of those disciples... In reality, Han Wu is not their master, but rather their servant..."
