Peerless Taoist

Within the academy, a lamp would be placed in every corner. Countless lamps burned and lit up at the same time, illuminating the entire academy thoroughly.    

Meanwhile, outside the academy, there was a thick mist. Even though it was late at night, it still did not scatter.    

"I have already lost contact with the outside world."    

"The teleportation formation has lost its effect. The space outside is in complete chaos. No news can be sent out!"    

Bad news came one after another, causing everyone's hearts to sink.    

At this time, someone needed to take charge of the situation.    

Regardless of whether Tian Boyan was spurned by the College's disciples or not, he was still a Mysterious Immortal expert. He had the qualifications to stabilize people's hearts at this critical moment.    

Many people hurriedly went to look for him, but they discovered that Tian Boyan had long disappeared from the Heavenly Book Pavilion.    

It was as if he had vanished into thin air, without any signs.    

At this moment, many disciples finally panicked.    

They began to search for Tian Boyan everywhere. However, they discovered that there were no signs of him at all.    

Even the Confucians who were stationed at the Heaven Academic Pavilion did not know where Tian Boyan had gone.    

"I'm afraid he has already left." Someone said angrily.    

Normally, he would only show off in the academy, but at the crucial moment, there was no trace of him.    

Many people were gnashing their teeth in anger at Tian Boyan.    

The academy could not lose its backbone. Everyone immediately recommended Pavilion Master Cheng Jin from the Dao Comprehension Pavilion to take over the position of deputy dean.    

Cheng Jin had already received Lu Yu's warning a long time ago. A long time ago, he had already eliminated many of the spies in the academy.    

The reason why the academy hadn't caused chaos yet was largely because of this reason.    

"Every gate in the academy needs to be guarded day and night! The immortal experts in the academy patrol day and night, not allowing anyone to sneak into the academy."    

Cheng Jin immediately went to the back mountain, asking for the academy's consecrate to come out and help.    

In everyone's minds, there was finally a consecrate that appeared in the academy's back mountain that had always been mysterious and unfathomable.    

This was a female, holding a walking stick, her hair white and youthful. Even though her hair was white, her appearance was still as beautiful as a young woman's. Her skin was white and snow white, her features delicate and pretty.    

"Greetings, Jiang shi!"    

"Greetings, Grandmaster Jiang!"    

Even the elderly Confucians had to bow when they saw this woman.    

This woman's name was Jiang Mingkong, and she was Wen Sheng's in-name disciple.    

She had followed the Literary Sage for a very long time, and her age had even surpassed many of the older scholars present. She had once taught countless disciples in the Jade Cauldron Academy.    

There was a rumor that Jiang Mingkong had once been a concubine of the late emperor. Later, when the Taiqian Emperor was present, she left the imperial palace and came to Jade Cauldron Academy to cultivate.    

With the passage of time, no one knew how strong Jiang Mingkong was now.    

Jiang Mingkong looked at everyone and nodded, but his gaze fell into the distant chaotic mist.    

"Since you're here, show yourself." Jiang Mingkong's voice echoed in the sky above the academy.    

As if sensing the appearance of the academy's top experts, the fog in the distance began to churn violently. Finally, there was a slight change.    

Pah!    

On the academy's wall, a soul with bleeding eyes suddenly appeared, roaring at the academy with a stern voice.    

Some of the disciples were caught off guard, and their minds were shaken by this type of scene. Their faces immediately became deathly pale.    

Immediately afterwards, the mist that originally shrouded the academy's sky finally dispersed.
