Chapter 584: Li Daoyun!

As for those two children, without Ye Qingran and Ye Xiu's protection, aren't they left to do as they please?

Nan Yan, after hearing that, squinted her eyes; as long as Ye Qingran dies, she can freely control Lu Yunfeng without fearing anyone discovering it!

Listening Wind Pavilion.

Lu Yunfeng slowly regained consciousness, and the first thing he saw was Gu Elder's kindly old face.

"Yunfeng, you finally woke up!"

Gu Elder's face blossomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he silently let out a sigh of relief.

"Gu Elder."

Lu Yunfeng gave a detached greeting.

"Yesterday..."

Lu Yunfeng tried hard to recall yesterday, but could only remember what happened before he fell unconscious.

"Yesterday your body had another problem; it was Instructor Ye and Qin Feixue who saved you."

Instructor Ye and Qin Feixue?

"What happened?"

Gu Elder composed his emotions, pondered for a moment, and then began to explain slowly.

"You said the person who saved me in Eagle Forest was Qin Feixue, not Nan Yan?"

"Ah, yes..." Gu Elder shook his head lightly, also feeling regretful.

The fact that Qin Feixue was Lu Yunfeng's lifesaver only became clear to everyone after such a long time.

Nan Yan, as a person, is indeed somewhat unscrupulous.

A fleeting bewilderment flashed in Lu Yunfeng's eyes, and vague scenes from Eagle Forest involuntarily rose in his mind.

Because of Ye Qingran, he deliberately memorized Qin Feixue, and naturally also remembered her appearance.

That face overlapped with the woman's face in Eagle Forest, and everything suddenly became clear.

"It's her..."

Gu Elder then reminded him, "However, although Qin Feixue carries Condensing Soul Blood, Instructor Ye said her blood is not a long-term solution; to resolve your soul problem, you must find a human soul as soon as possible."

"I understand." Lu Yunfeng pressed his lips, lifted his head and asked, "Master, are you about to return?"

Just as Gu Elder was about to speak, an authoritative voice sounded from outside.

"I'm back."

This is...

Dean!

Sure enough, at Lu Yunfeng's doorway, a figure had been standing there for who knows how long.

The person had white beard and hair, all clad in white, with an ethereal, noble bearing.

Yet his visage was that of a middle‑aged man, with handsome features and extraordinary temperament.

This man is the current Dean of the Shenzhou Academy and Beimingzhou's number one strongest, Li Daoyun.

"Dean!"

Li Daoyun smiled and nodded, appearing affable.

"Gu Elder, you've worked hard these past days."

Gu Elder waved his hands repeatedly.

"Master."

Deprived of a human soul and unable to empathize, Lu Yunfeng perhaps only when facing his master Li Daoyun does a faint ripple appear in his eyes.

Oh, now there's also another Ye Qingran.

This person owes him a debt of rebirth.

Li Daoyun saw him lying on the bed, looking like a patient just recovered from a serious illness, and glared at him.

"Yunfeng, during the days when the master was absent, you didn't take good care of yourself!"

"You've made the master worry," Lu Yunfeng lowered his face slightly, offering no rebuttal.

Gu Elder glanced at Lu Yunfeng and asked, "Dean, is there any lead on the Soul-Attracting Pearl?"

Among the many elders, Gu Elder was the only one who knew Li Daoyun's purpose for this outing.

The Soul-Attracting Pearl is a sacred relic of Dan Valley, but it vanished when Dan Saint Ling Xianliu fled years ago.

Dean Li has been searching for the whereabouts of the Soul-Attracting Pearl for Lu Yunfeng, because finding it gives a seventy‑percent chance of restoring Lu Yunfeng's human soul.

When the Soul-Attracting Pearl was mentioned, Li Daoyun shook his head.

"When Dan Saint fled, the Soul-Attracting Pearl disappeared without a trace, and its whereabouts are now unknown."

Disappointment was hard to hide on Gu Elder's face.

Without the Soul-Attracting Pearl, Yunfeng's human soul would...

Li Daoyun also felt quite helpless.

For someone who is the dean of the illustrious Shenzhou Academy, yet unable to save his beloved disciple, he feels rather a failure.

"However, Yunfeng, you need not worry; the master has found Condensing Soul Blood for you."

"Condensing Soul Blood?"

Gu Elder showed a strange expression.

"Indeed, it is Condensing Soul Blood."

Although Condensing Soul Blood cannot cure the lack of soul, it can buy Lu Yunfeng more time.

"Dean, actually just yesterday, we found the person who possesses Condensing Soul Blood."

Li Daoyun was startled.

"Who is it?"

"Renxu 108 Class disciple, Qin Feixue!"

Qin Feixue?

As the Academy's dean, Li Daoyun naturally also knows Qin Feixue. What surprised him, however, is that Qin Feixue actually bears Soul‑binding Blood.

He should know that during this period he traversed countless green mountains, and only after much difficulty did he find a person with Soul‑binding Blood and obtained some of it.

He didn't expect that the Academy already had Soul‑binding Blood; he was looking far when it was close.

"How many times have you taken Soul‑binding Blood?"

Li Daoyun asked.

Lu Yunfeng replied, "Twice." Once in Feiying Forest, once in the Academy. Both were Qin Feixue's blood.

"Twice?"

The incident when Lu Yunfeng got into trouble in Feiying Forest and was rescued by someone, he never told Li Daoyun, and since Li Daoyun spends most of the time outside, Li Daoyun also didn't know about this matter.

Therefore, when Li Daoyun heard Lu Yunfeng say "twice," Li Daoyun was still a bit surprised.

"What's the matter, Dean?"

"You don't know that Soul‑binding Blood can only be used five times."

Gu Elder finally realized why Ye Qingran had been constantly stressing that they must locate a human soul as soon as possible.

It turned out that Soul‑binding Blood doesn't work every time.

"So that's it!"

Gu Elder let out a low sigh.

Now it was Li Daoyun's turn to be puzzled.

"Dean, it's like this..."

Gu Elder then recounted Ye Qingran's matter to Li Daoyun.

"Are you saying the newly arrived Instructor Ye at the Academy is a Pill Emperor?"

A sharp glint flashed in Li Daoyun's eyes.

The next day.

Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu arrived at the Academy, and under Wu Shushan's guidance, they met Li Daoyun.

Li Daoyun, with his back to Ye Qingran and the others, was chatting with Lu Yunfeng.

"Dean, Instructor Ye and Elder Ye have arrived."

Lu Yunfeng, upon seeing Ye Qingran, stood up, and a rarely bright expression appeared on his face.

Lu Yunfeng's reaction, seen by Li Daoyun, was indeed surprising.

He knows this disciple too well; he is indifferent to everything, and even toward his master, he only occasionally shows a hint of feeling.

Who could possibly be the one that makes Yunfeng feel such an intense emotion?

Li Daoyun, curious, turned his head toward the outside.

The three entered one after another.

At the front was the guide Wu Shushan; behind, a man and a woman walked side by side, peerless in elegance.

Li Daoyun saw Fu Hanxiu wearing a mask; his tall, erect posture, lofty and firm, resembled a demonic deity's body, and even without seeing his face, his aura was hard to overlook.

Something flashed in his eyes; his gaze shifted and landed on Ye Qingran beside him.

In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply, as if startled, and he sprang to his feet.
