But...

Jia Xitong never expected that Shang Yanting would treat her like a piece of dough as soon as he returned.

"It hurts so much!"

She screamed and dodged his hands that were groping inside her clothes.

"Feel sorry."

Shang Yanting apologized and then kissed him again.

He was perfectly fine when he left, but came back as a complete lewd monster. Jia Xitong couldn't help but reasonably suspect, "You...you encountered some setbacks outside?"

His temperament changed drastically.

Qu Haifeng and others were the ones who encountered setbacks.

As for Shang Yanting...

He just wanted to rub the small bucket.

He's vulgar.

The four deans and several peak masters had just returned from the Queshan Mountain Range when the number of people visiting Dingtian Academy suddenly surged.

Yimeng College was the first to arrive.

Not only the disciples, but even the dean was there.

"Brother Huo, didn't Yimeng College just come to our school? Why are they coming again?" Niu Niu expressed his confusion.

"If the Dean of Yimeng Academy, along with several elders and core peak masters, were to leave at the same time in the middle of the night, wouldn't you feel nervous sitting in the Venerable One's seat?"

Niu Niu thought about it seriously, "Nervous!"

Huo Rui: "That's the reason."

With so many important figures leaving Dingtian Academy at the same time, it's hard to imagine it not attracting attention.

"Then they've come with ill intentions this time."

Niu Chuanchuan thought through the pros and cons and became quite worried.

"Even if the sky falls, the four tallest ones will hold it up. What is there to worry about?"

Huo Rui looked at Niu Chuanchuan with amusement.

My colleague, while possessing cultivation that is among the best on Xianlong Peak besides the Venerable One, is also somewhat... lacking in understanding.

Fortunately, he wasn't very perceptive, which is why His Majesty needed him.

Above the Tianyuan Hall

The four deans sat side by side.

The four were not surprised by the visit from Yimeng College; on the contrary, it was expected.

Moreover, it's not all bad that these people came earlier; it also saved them the trouble of notifying each of them about the appearance of the demons.

"The demons have reappeared?!"

The dean and elders of Yimeng Academy never expected to hear this!

"Nine hundred years ago, the righteous cultivators fought a great battle against the demonic cultivators, and didn't they kill all the demonic cultivators?"

Since then, demonic cultivators have not been seen for hundreds of years.

"Even if demonic cultivators were to rise from the ashes, they would not amount to anything under the control of martial cultivators for many years. Where are the demonic cultivators that would warrant your attention?"

The dean of Yimeng Academy frowned deeply. "Could it be... that demonic cultivator, Ji Mie, is not dead?!"

Nirvana.

The first demonic cultivator in the world, both in heaven and on earth, on the continent of Aotian.

This is also the reason why all cultivators on the Aotian Continent united to destroy the demonic cultivators.

I still remember that back then, Ji Mie was the strongest person on the Aotian Continent, having reached the peak of the Demon Saint realm, and no one on the Aotian Continent could rival him.

The righteous path also has five powerful beings who have reached the realm of sainthood.

The great battle between the two sides lasted for five years! It wasn't until the five great saints killed the demon lord Jimie that the righteous path wiped out the demonic cultivators on the continent with an overwhelming advantage.

That battle

Three of the five great sages died.

Countless powerful beings below the rank of Saint were killed or injured.

Although they eliminated the demonic cultivators, they paid a heavy price.

Now that Dingtian Academy has discovered demonic cultivators again, and with such a large mobilization, it's hard not to recall the great battle that we heard about from our ancestors, or even experienced ourselves.

If Nirvana really didn't die...

Can the two remaining Martial Saints really resist that demon?

"It is not yet known whether the Demon Lord Annihilation is still alive."

Helian Xiong, the most senior and powerful cultivator at Dingtian Academy, spoke on behalf of the group, saying, "However, the resurgence of the demonic cultivators' power is a foregone conclusion. They have found the Queshan Mountain Range and taken away the treasures there."

Upon hearing this

The students at Yimeng College were in an uproar.

Now, not only the leaders of Dingtian Academy, but also those of Yimeng Academy, were on edge. However, their intelligence remained intact: "How do you know about the Queshan mountain range?"

This place is a pilgrimage site for martial arts practitioners.

For thousands of years, no one knew.

In just one or two months, Dingtian Academy has discovered both the Queshan Mountain Range and demonic cultivators.

This is just too much of a coincidence.

"You can ask Elder Ji. He knew about the Queshan mountain range, and he was the first to discover the traces of the demonic cultivators."

When Helian Xiong uttered this name, none of the older cultivators questioned it anymore.

Professor Ji?

Shang Yanting pondered upon hearing the name.

Is this Karl's real name?

Recalling Karl's zero tolerance for demonic cultivators and the five martial saints they had just mentioned, Shang Yanting suddenly had a guess about Karl's identity.

"Where is Old Man Ji?" the people from Yimeng College asked.

"Elder Ji has already left Xianlong Peak to find Elder Mo."

Old Mo.

It must be Mo Hongyun.

The remaining two great martial saints.

No wonder Helian Xiong and the others treated Karl with utmost respect. When one's cultivation surpasses that of everyone else, absolute strength commands absolute authority.

Shang Yanting lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the demonic cultivator.

Nearly a thousand years have passed, and their understanding of demonic cultivators is far too limited. The fact that this natural enemy is now lurking in some region of the Aotian Continent, threatening them with hostility, is enough to keep these high-ranking officials up at night.

Xianlong Peak

Jia Xitong sat with his legs crossed in his bedchamber, drinking tea while listening to Wan Zhijiang's stories.
