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

boom!

Zhang Ruoxue's iron fist was grabbed by a slender hand.

In the blink of an eye, the surging demonic energy completely devoured the flames that had emerged from Zhang Ruoxue's arm armor.

And the owner of that hand...

However, Gu Xingzhuo had his head down and his face was deathly pale.

Do not!

That's almost not Gu Xingzhuo anymore.

At the heart of the white-haired boy—the translucent right hand of Liu Xun Kong's remnant soul was gradually materializing, and it was that right hand, which was holding Gu Xing Zhuo's heart, that was manipulating the white-haired boy's body.

"Xue'er...for our future, please bear with this for now."

Liu Xunkong grinned, while Gu Xingzhuo grabbed Zhang Ruoxue's right hand and forcefully shook it off.

boom!

Layers of air bursts appeared, and Zhang Ruoxue's frail body was thrown out and landed heavily on the ground.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood and tried to get up from the ground, but the materialized demonic energy around her condensed into countless arms, binding her to the ground.

"Damn it... damn it!!"

Zhang Ruoxue looked up at Liu Xunkong with resentment, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, struggling incessantly.

However, with her power, she was no match for Liu Xunkong, who was about to take control of Gu Xingzhuo's body and soul.

Is that it... over...?

"Then, come on... my rebirth."

Liu Xunkong closed his eyes and revealed a relieved smile.

"Finally, I can be with Xue'er again..."

puff--!

Before he could finish speaking...

A silver sword mercilessly pierced the heart of Liu Xun Kong's remnant soul.

Liu Xun Kong's movements suddenly stopped. He never expected that he would be stabbed through the heart at this moment.

"Sorry to interrupt when you're all so excited, but—"

He turned around and stared blankly at the snow-white figure.

His eyes widened suddenly.

He recognized the woman…

Back then, when he sought the method of creating corpse puppets, he jumped into the River of Death with Qu Wenxue's corpse in his arms...

The person who told him about the corpse puppet technique...

It was the woman right before my eyes!

"This is a transaction, I'm sorry."

Ye Xuanqiu smiled and drew her sword.

boom!

Liu Xun Kong's remnant soul stared in astonishment at his body, which was gradually becoming transparent, shaking his head with tears of madness and resentment in his eyes.

"No...no...it was almost done...it was almost there..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

The remnant soul of Liu Xunkong turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace in the next moment.

At the same time, the terrifying vortex that swept wildly also vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Xue'er..."

With a long, drawn-out call, the entire space fell silent.

49. Airspace and Time.

The darkness covering the boundless sandstorm quickly dissipated.

The vengeful spirits and demonic forces that blotted out the sky seemed to have never existed, all disappearing into the void. Above the vast desert, apart from the scattered dust and sand, there was nothing else.

The boy, who had been sitting cross-legged in mid-air, finally relaxed from his pained expression, but he was also forced to fall rapidly downwards by gravity. His medium-length white hair, which had been tied up with a jade hairpin, came loose, and the hairpin, which was as thin as a willow branch, was blown away by the swirling sand and wind to who knows where.

Before Gu Xingzhuo could land, a white figure flashed by.

The moment the storm subsided, Yunping took a step forward, his figure traversing space, the distance of several kilometers being no more than half a step to him.

He held Gu Xingzhuo in his arms, his gaze sweeping over his disciple with a serious expression.

Although his spirit was damaged, it was still intact.

There was no trace of Liu Xun Kong left in his body, and the Impermanence of Life and Death hidden deep in his soul showed no signs of agitation.

Apart from being a little weak, I'm fine.

The huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted. Yun Ping cast three spells to stabilize Gu Xingzhuo's mind, and then gently placed him on the sand.

"teacher……"

In the distance, with the demonic energy gone and no longer bound, Zhang Ruoxue dragged her exhausted body toward Yun Ping and Gu Xingzhuo.

But at this moment, this black-haired girl, who was usually not very bright, looked at Yunping with deep apology.

"I'm sorry... I..."

"It's not your fault."

Yunping shook his head; he knew what Zhang Ruoxue was thinking.

He let out a long sigh, then turned to Zhang Ruoxue. Looking at the girl's apologetic and complicated expression, Yunping clearly couldn't stay angry: "The fourth brother is in pretty good condition. No matter what happened, at least the ending is good."

"..."

Although Yunping didn't mean to blame Zhang Ruoxue, the girl herself didn't think so.

She clenched her fists, lowered her head, and kept her face, which defied description, from Yunping's view. She spoke again, very softly:

"Sorry……"

If I had acted sooner, perhaps my fourth senior brother wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

And it was at this moment—

"Old rascal!"

Ye Yuchan and the others, who had come from afar, also arrived at the place where Gu Xingzhuo was.

Upon seeing Gu Xingzhuo lying unconscious on the ground, Gu Wangjun and Jiang Yuetian immediately rushed over and began to examine his injuries.

After confirming that their fourth junior brother was alright, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Wangjun then carried Gu Xingzhuo's already slender body on his back and gave everyone a reassuring smile.

"The fourth brother has just fainted temporarily, there's nothing wrong with him."

"call--"

Duan Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Before arriving here, she had been worried about her senior brother whom she had never met, and had even prepared to heal him.

However, it seems unnecessary now.

Looking at Gu Xingzhuo sleeping soundly on Gu Wangjun's back, Jiang Shaoguang smiled with satisfaction: "Now everyone is here."

Only after these words were spoken did everyone realize what was happening.

Indeed, once everyone reunited with Gu Xingzhuo, all the disciples of Yuntian Academy were present.

From Gu Wangjun, the most senior and strongest disciple, to Duan Xingchen, who had just joined the sect... all nine disciples, four men and five women, were present.

Xiao Lin Yuan's big eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and said:

"This can be considered a happy ending, right? Hehehe..."

……

"Yes, it's a happy reunion."

The moment those cold words fell, everyone present was startled.

Gu Wangjun and Jiang Yuetian's hair stood on end, and they both activated their internal energy techniques, assuming a posture as if facing a formidable enemy.

however--

Even though he was using the cultivation technique, his spiritual energy showed no signs of circulating at all!

Not only that, the spiritual energy that was originally flowing in their meridians seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the completely frozen spiritual energy could not flow out of their bodies at all!

what happened? !

Gu Wangjun and Jiang Yuetian exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror and shock in each other's eyes.

"Don't get so agitated, I won't hurt you children~"

Descending from the sky was a woman draped in a snow-white feather robe, with smiling willow-leaf eyebrows.

A woman with the exact same face as Ye Yuchan.

Ye Xuanqiu.

Yun Ping flashed to the front of the disciples. His not-so-strong, even somewhat thin, body became the strongest barrier against Ye Xuanqiu. He stood in front of everyone, his gaze cold and solemn.

Seeing Yun Ping's protective attitude, Ye Xuanqiu shook her head helplessly and smiled:

"Don't stare at me with those dead fish eyes. I'm really not as bad as you think."

Don't you know how much I love you?

"Darling~"

Ye Xuanqiu, who emphasized the last three words, revealed a charming smile. This sight made Ye Yuchan so angry that she almost exploded.
