Langya Institute.
The former Dean Cheng, now known as Cheng Jing, stood at the head, his gaze sharp as he surveyed the room.
"Dean Wu has fallen."
With these words, the surrounding light and candle flames seemed to flicker subtly, then grew brighter.
At this moment in the Langya Institute, the deans present at the meeting all wore solemn expressions.
Cheng Jing observed their faces, then spoke to himself.
"No one knows when he left the Langya Institute, nor where he fell.
I went to check on his soul lamp, and it was extinguished, with not a trace of his residual soul left behind.
I personally conducted the Soul Summoning Technique, but to no effect; he had truly perished, body and soul."
Hearing this, the faces of the deans present became even more grim.
Within ten years, two deans had already fallen.
Even though Dean Wu had questionable affiliations, Cheng Jing, as the acting dean and a Dao Cultivator, held a meeting and revoked his position as a dean.
