"Hehe, it's nothing. It's just that today, when I went to the State Arts Club, I passed by the entrance of the back mountain and felt a bit gloomy. I also heard that someone had died inside, so I got curious."
Ning Lo laughed.
"Ah, so that's how it is. "Mr. Ning, out of good intentions, I advise you not to be too curious about the matters behind the mountain. This will not benefit you."
"Why? Could it be that there really is something at the back of the mountain? "
Ning Lo raised his eyebrows.
At the same time, Lin Qianxue, Mu Yunbing, and Lin Mohan's eyes lit up and their ears perked up.
"About this..."
Tang Feng hesitated for a moment, but after looking left and right, he continued, "To be honest, I do not know much about the situation at the back of the mountain. I only know that the back mountain is no longer under our control, and that in the second month, it will be handed over to the military."
"Military?"
Ning Lo was stunned again.
"That's right!"
Tang Feng nodded.
"Mr. Ning, I heard some students say that you're Ancient Martial Cultivator. What? Did you notice anything abnormal?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just feel that this back mountain is a little demonic, and walking over there makes me feel very uncomfortable. As for anything else, it's nothing much. Oh right, ever since the military took over, no one bothered about the Jiangcheng University anymore, right? "
Previously, they didn't care, but in the past half year, the military suddenly sent a lot of people over. Among them, there's no lack of Ancient Martial Cultivator, and he seems to have some plans for the back mountain.
"Is there really no change?"
Ning Lo slightly frowned and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.
If nothing had happened, the military definitely would not have expended so much manpower on the back mountain.
Furthermore, there would not be any major competition of Martial Arts Club ahead of time.
From all the signs, it was not hard to tell that a storm was brewing in the back mountain that even the military might not be able to control.
As for what it was, Ning Lo didn't dare to make a conclusion so easily.
But when he thought about how the other major cities of the Dragon Country had also witnessed the earlier competition of the military Martial Arts Club, he felt that they must have connected the two of them together.
"There really isn't much of a change, at least that's what I know. Mr. Ning, why are you so interested in these things? "
"Hehe, I'm just a little curious. Secretary Tang, thank you for telling us the truth.
Ning Lo cupped his fists towards Tang Feng and pulled Lin Qianxue's hand as they walked out of the school.
When Ning Lo frowned, Tang Feng's pupils constricted slightly as if there was a bright light flashing in his eyes.
The latter stood still for a moment before leaving.

The Way Out of School
"Brother-in-law, this back mountain?"
"Don't ask too many questions that you shouldn't. It's still the same question as before. Stay as far away as possible from the back of the mountain with Yunbing. If possible, take a break from school after the Spring Festival."
"Ah?" Suspended school? Brother-in-law, is it as exaggerated as you said it was? "
Lin Mohan thought she had heard wrongly.
No matter how evil the people at the back of the mountain were, it was fine as long as they didn't go near it. Why did they need to take a break from school?
Mu Yunbing also raised her eyebrows.
"Cousin, did you notice something?"
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the words of his cousin didn't carry much weight.
However, to Mu Yunbing, who clearly knew Ning Lo's status and influence in the military back then, she knew that her cousin's words were a speculation in the current situation.
It was obvious that his cousin already felt an ominous premonition.
He wasn't sure, but for safety's sake, he chose the safest way to protect himself and Mohan.
"I don't dare to be sure, but when I was walking past that rear mountain earlier, I felt a strange atmosphere. I kept having the feeling that at some point in the future, something big might happen to this Jiangcheng University."
"This feeling isn't good, so for safety's sake, I hope you all will listen to my opinion and temporarily don't return to Jiangcheng University after the Spring Festival."
"Are you for real?" Brother-in-law, didn't Secretary Tang say that there haven't been any major changes in the past half year? "
"Didn't you see that he was lying?"
Ning Lo's gaze was cold.
"A lie?"
The three women said in unison.
"That's right. When he was talking to me, his eyes kept darting left and right, which meant that he should have been clear about some of the details behind the back mountain. However, he didn't say it clearly." "What does this mean?"
"The situation at the back of the mountain is definitely not as calm as it seems!"
"Other than that, when you think about the recent intervention of the military by the various major schools in the Jiang City as well as the advance of the competition in the Martial Arts Club, don't you think that a storm is brewing?"
"Ning Lo, are you saying that all of this has something to do with this back mountain?"
Lin Qianxue's long, shapely eyebrows twitched slightly.
To be honest, she didn't really care about the Jiangcheng University at the beginning.
However, Ning Lo, Mohan, and Yunbing had been focusing on this topic from the afternoon till the evening, so Ning Lo was able to notice some clues.
It was as if all the clues had been linked together.
"Probably not too far away."
Ning Lo nodded heavily.
"Even if there's a sudden situation at the back of the mountain, so what? At most, it would just turn into a fiendish one. Could it be that it can affect the entire Jiangcheng University?"
"You know the place of death?"
Ning Lo slightly raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Lin Mohan to know the concept of killing.
"I only know a little. I learned it from my good friend."1
Lin Mohan secretly delighted as she extended her pinky.
His best friends loved to hunt surprises, and they were even members of the detective agency. Naturally, he had also been instilled with some mysterious and profound questions.
This included the matter of Yin Yang Terminus.
"What is it?"
Lin Qianxue asked.
"The so-called baleful land is a place where baleful energy is gathered. And the so called baleful energy is actually a term used in the feng shui of Dragon Country. As for what exactly it is, it is somewhat ambiguous. All you need to know is that the things concerning the Demon are all bad. "
"Then is the back mountain really as Mohan said?"
"Most likely, but it's not that simple." The Dragon Country was vast and a legacy had existed for thousands of years, and there had never been a lack of master level experts throughout the history of the sect. Although Feng Shui was now classified as a mystical and superstitious person, there was still a large portion of people who had reached greater heights in it. There is no lack of such a high level talent in the military. If the back of the mountain was just a fiend then it would have long been broken by the military.
"Are you saying that apart from Sha Wuduan, there are other evil places in this place?"
"En!"
Ning Lo nodded.
"What's that?"
"I don't know. In short it won't be good stuff. Even the people from the military are tricky to deal with. You can imagine."
