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

In an instant.

The situation on the chessboard has changed.

Or rather, the true state of the game is revealed the moment this piece is placed.

Thinking he had the game under control, he bared his fangs and brandished his claws, intending to destroy the black dragon that was white. Little did he know that while he was frantically tearing at the white pieces' territory, he had already fallen into the heart of the white pieces.

The already exceptionally solid white stones were like an iron wall. Although the black dragon rushed in and descended from the sky, seemingly catching the white city off guard, it actually fell into the center of the white city.

Several chains attacked from the hiding place, binding the black dragon in the city. Not only was it surrounded by enemies on all sides, but thunderbolts were also about to descend from above.

The two men controlling the black dragon outside the chessboard frowned in concentration. They had prepared a way out, but Bai Cheng seemed to have seen through everything and cut off all their escape routes in just a few moves.

The city gates were closed, lightning struck, and chains bound the enemy.

Everything seemed to have been prepared in advance; Baicheng had been quietly waiting for the black dragon's arrival from the very beginning.

Within a few rounds, the Black Dragon completely lost its ability to resist and could only be slaughtered at will by the thousands of soldiers in the White City.

The black chess piece in the Demon Emperor's hand hovered in mid-air for a long time, unable to find a suitable place to put it, and finally had no choice but to put the piece back in the chess box.

Emperor Xian was not a stubborn person who refused to admit defeat. He immediately praised, "As expected of Emperor Wen, your chess skills are truly remarkable."

Yun Ping smiled faintly: "It's alright. You were just too arrogant. Be more careful, or you'll end up trespassing in my White City."

This statement was clearly loaded with hidden meaning.

The Demon Emperor pondered for a long time before saying coldly, "We lost the game, but we won't lose in the future."

"Who knows?"

Yunping pointed to the black dragon on the chessboard, which was now dead and its remains were gone, and smiled: "Maybe it will end up like this black dragon, dying without a burial place."

……

……

"hehe."

Emperor Immortal chuckled twice, his laughter filled with a hidden killing intent.

He and the Demon Emperor stood up at the same time, seemingly intending to leave.

Emperor Immortal smiled slightly and said, "I have benefited greatly from today's chess game, so I will take my leave now."

The Demon Emperor also bowed, and then the two figures gradually transformed into white smoke and black mist, slowly disappearing into the courtyard.

Yunping continued drinking his tea, smiling as he watched the two of them, neither making a move nor speaking.

just.

Before disappearing, the Demon Emperor raised his head, his scarlet eyes shooting out a chilling gaze.

"I will return in seven days and take your life with the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."

Emperor Xian also looked up, his chilling aura, seemingly looking down upon the world, directed at the young man in white.

"Seven days from now, I will return with the Three Pure Ones Sword, and this academy will cease to exist."

A few breaths later, the white smoke dissipated and the black fog disappeared.

Inside the courtyard, there was only a chessboard, two empty cups, and Yunping alone.

"These two, tsk tsk tsk..."

Yun Ping clicked his tongue helplessly twice and sighed, "Speaking such nice words, but all that actually came was a wisp of divine consciousness, tsk tsk tsk..."

Yes.

From the very beginning, what arrived here was merely a wisp of divine consciousness from the Emperor Immortal and the Demon Emperor.

It's just a wisp of divine consciousness; even if it's destroyed, it's meaningless.

Although Yunping could indeed use this wisp of divine sense to track down the location of the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, it was far too troublesome for him. Besides, they had already said they would come to kill him in seven days, so rather than wasting time and effort, it would be better to wait for them to come to him on their own.

"Seven days..."

Yun Ping raised his head, his gaze easily piercing through the shackles between the heavens. He looked up for a while, then smiled slightly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Coincidentally, we'll call the remaining two children back during these seven days."

"It's about time I returned to the Kuntian Domain again..."

Yunping took out the irregular crystal that emitted an extreme aura from his pocket, and a strange solemnity gradually appeared in his eyes.

He thought for a moment, then pulled out the coins he had once obtained from a certain tomboy from the void beside him.

Looking at the ancient coin, Yunping couldn't help but recall the scene at the Imperial Pavilion back then.

When he appeared at the Emperor's Pavilion, everyone from Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, led by Xu Banxian, submitted to him. The tomboy who had forced the coin on him was actually in the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace's camp.

Is it a coincidence, or...?

He stared at the ancient coin and gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Could this be another ill-fated relationship...?"

20. Weird

"What a tragic fate..."

Siheyuan.

I don't know how much time passed.

The chaos in the Extreme Heaven Domain and the Desolate Heaven Domain has subsided, and the power of the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital has receded like the tide.

What's rather strange is that not only were the forces that came to attack the Lantian Empire and the Three Heavens Academy wiped out without a trace, but the forces stationed in other areas by the Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty were also taken back, as if they had abandoned the territories they had previously occupied, and all of them withdrew.

At the same time, the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital seemed to have completely shut down information, preventing their internal information from leaking out.

Compared to their previous grand and decisive actions in trying to bring all three celestial domains under their control, the Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty now seem to have no other intentions, as if they are focused on research and isolated from the outside world.

Seven days.

Compared to most other forces that were unaware of the situation, Yunping was much more informed.

This tranquility is a sign of an approaching storm; in seven days, this peace will vanish.

"So you plan to take advantage of these seven days to go to the Kuntian Domain?"

The silver-haired maid sat beside Yunping, cracking melon seeds, her dark eyes reflecting the old rogue's silent and solemn face.

Yunping did not deny Ye Yuchan's words, but continued to stare at the ancient coin in his hand. He thought about it and felt that the coin looked very familiar, but when he tried to recall it, the memory seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier, and he could not clearly recall the specific situation.

He lowered his eyelids, closed his eyes and nodded, and then said, "Anyway, there's still time. We might as well bring Boss and Xiao Jiu back. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Jiu should have finished cultivating the Purifying Demon Desolate Dust Record by now."

Ye Yuchan was surprised: "So fast?"

She had heard the old rogue mention this demon-slaying technique before. The cultivation method was extremely strict, but if one mastered it, one could bring Duan Xingchen's light bulb physique... no, his holy physique to its fullest potential and achieve the path of a saint.

If that's the case, then wouldn't she be the worst student in the entire Yuntian Academy?

So far, how many people haven't achieved sainthood?

Yunping nodded and said, "If you want to cultivate the Purifying Demon Desolate Dust Record to its full potential, you must achieve the Three Purities: purification of body, purification of mind, and purification of spirit. Xiao Jiu has a holy body, so purifying the body is not difficult for her and should have been perfected long ago. To purify the mind, you need to go to the Buddhist sect in the Western Paradise. The Tathagata's self-made sutra there is very suitable for her. I have already informed the King of this."

"Their current position—" Yun Ping looked up at the sky, glanced at it briefly, then raised his lifeless, dull eyes again and said calmly, "They have already left the Western Paradise Buddhist sect, and should have completed the purification of their hearts. Next is the purification of their spirits..."

"In that case, it really is a coincidence."

Yunping smiled as he said this.

"What's the coincidence?" Zhang Ruoxue, who was peeling an orange next to Ye Yuchan, blinked and stared at Yun Ping curiously.

Yunping pointed to the ancient coin in his hand and said with a smile, "I happen to be going to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, and the final section of the Cleansing Demon Desolate Dust Record, the Cleansing God Road, will be completed there."

"Their current location should be within the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace."

Is it a coincidence?

Or is it some kind of hint?

Yun Ping stared intently at the ancient coin in his palm. The coin gave him a rather subtle feeling, and he could clearly sense that it seemed to connect him with the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, which was far away in the Kuntian Domain.

It was as if a thin, crimson thread had passed through the hole in the center of a coin. One end of the thread was tied to Yun Ping's wrist, while the other end flew straight up into the sky, passing through the tight control of the Heavenly Domain, and reaching the depths of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace in the Kun Heavenly Domain, where it connected with the other hand.

A tragic fate... This thing definitely qualifies as a tragic fate.

But the old rogue remembered every single one of his past romantic entanglements clearly. He considered himself a heartless and ungrateful womanizer when he was Emperor Wen, but he remembered all of them, since he had some kind of ambiguous relationship with each of them. Maybe after all these years, those female leaders, fairies, and the like still remembered him. Even if he couldn't give those girls anything, he couldn't at least forget them.

But these ancient coins gave him a different feeling... What puzzled him most was that whenever he tried to explore the memories within them, he would be blocked by an invisible barrier.

It can block out his memories... What a strong barrier that is!

Yunping didn't know.

Therefore, he had to go to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace to find out the truth about both the ancient coins and Blue Feather Heavenly Ice's severe injury.

And it was at this moment.

The gates of Yuntian Academy were pushed open, and Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui entered.

Incidentally, he also brought back a young man with black hair and black eyes.

Everyone looked in that direction and, as expected, spotted that familiar yet disheveled figure.

"Yo... Hello everyone."

The young man named Fang Yan grinned and greeted the crowd with great difficulty.

……

……

"So that means things have settled down in the Empire as well?"

Ye Yuchan looked at Fang Yan, whose arm was wrapped in several layers of bandages and seemed to be recovering, and continued to eat sunflower seeds.

A hint of helpless bitterness flashed in Fang Yan's eyes, and then he said in a particularly calm tone: "Let's just say that. The Demon Dynasty quickly withdrew its troops and even returned some of the territories it had previously occupied. The Emperor was also safe and sound, and the rebels, including Young Master Chu Xiu, were captured by the First Prince."

"Although they still clamor that the Demon Dynasty will return, there should be no movement in the short term."

"This is all thanks to your help, senior..." Fang Yan said, casting a grateful glance at Yun Ping.

Whether it was teaching him the Nine Emperors Sword Technique or repeatedly rescuing the Lantian Empire, Yun Ping can be considered a great benefactor of the Lantian Empire, almost a savior.
