Chapter 228 - 289: Two Old Foxes
Indeed, as soon as Mu Can mentioned a mysterious elder, nearly all eyes in the vicinity shifted towards him.
The mysterious elder, suddenly disappeared.
These two features completely match the identity of the headmaster of the Immortal Ancient Academy.
"There are indeed many past headmasters who reached old age before attaining Void Level, and their appearance also solidified during their later years."
Xuanyuan Mingkong nodded, for since its establishment, the Immortal Ancient Academy has had many headmasters. However, after becoming headmaster, most only held the position for a few decades before stepping into the Void Level and vanishing from the Mortal World.
Mu Can had intended to casually tell a lie to conceal the truth, yet unexpectedly hit the mark, leading these people to mistakenly believe that a past headmaster of the Immortal Ancient Academy had returned.
"If it truly is the headmaster returning, why hasn’t he met with us?" The speaker was someone Mu Can recognized, his own teacher from his academy days, who had sternly disciplined the mischievous Mu Can quite a few times.
Who would have thought that such a stern teacher would react like a fan upon hearing news of the headmaster, displaying a face full of surprise and anticipation.
"Such lofty matters as the headmaster’s actions are beyond our ability to guess."
One reason for the extraordinary status of the Immortal Ancient Academy within the Mortal World is indeed the deterrent power of the successive headmasters. Although all past headmasters have vanished from the Mortal World, if one day someone were to return, a Void Level master in the Mortal World would unquestionably be an unrivaled presence.
"Describe in detail, what did this elder look like?" Xuanyuan Mingkong suddenly became spirited. With a great enemy before them, if indeed a headmaster were to return, it would be good news for the entire Mortal World.
