121-130
Xiao Yu followed Jiang Lan all the way to the counter.
Now, she understood what had been happening.
It had been like this since the first day.
She recalled the cup that her Junior Brother had asked her to support the first time she was here with him.
She initially thought that it was just because of her oversight, but in reality, it was because she did not notice it.
On the other hand, Junior Brother Jiang had already noticed it.
Then, did her Junior Brother let the cup shatter on purpose a while ago?
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Are there still cups about to fall?"
"There's more." Jiang Lan looked at the list of people who had reserved a pot of good wine. Ao Ye wasn't there.
As for why he brought Xiao Yu to see the cups fall, it was only because he didn't hate the other party.
Perhaps this Senior Sister of his was just like the youth at the inn. She was just a child.
"There should be one or two more," Jiang Lan said calmly.
"Senior Sister, you can discover it yourself. Just calm your mind."
The first time he realized that the bottles here would break was when he closed his eyes to cultivate his mind.
It was his first time at the inn, and he recalled that he had bumped into Senior Sister Ao then.
Thinking of Ao Longyu reminded him of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
If people knew that he knew the Dragon Slaying Sword, he wondered if he would be misunderstood.
The dragons might start looking at him in a different light.
For safety reasons, it was better not to expose this to the Dragon Race.
Doing so would save him from gaining the hostility of the Dragon Race.
Although he might already be viewed as an enemy.
According to what his master had said, he was the chief disciple of the Ninth Summit and the candidate with the most potential to inherit the position of the Ninth Summit's Summit Leader.
However, the Ninth Summit was different from the other summits.
Especially since most people in Kunlun knew that he wasn't talented enough.
It was even more impossible for the dragon race to take a fancy to it.
As for Ao Longyu.
He did not really know this person and had not interacted much with her.
The only thing he knew about her was that the other party did not want to owe anyone anything.
As for her appearance… It was impeccable.
However, immortal cultivators had a long life ahead of them and were naturally indifferent to such a thing. It was unlikely that cultivators would be bewitched by one's appearance.
As for how Ao Longyu would view him, it was impossible for him to guess.
After hearing Jiang Lan's reminder, Xiao Yu finally understood.
She could discover it when she calmed down.
No wonder Jiang Lan was able to discover all of them.
Among those of the same generation in Kunlun, no one could compare with Jiang Lan of the Ninth Summit in terms of temperament. This was something that all the disciples in their batch understood.
Especially after his ascension of the Stairway to Heavens.
After that event, Jiang Lan became the center of attention for the disciples.
No one felt that they were able to surpass him.
Then, Xiao Yu closed her eyes and took this opportunity when there were no customers to try it out.
She calmed her heart and allowed herself to enter an ethereal state.
She let her body and mind become one.
Her calm heart was like a calm lake, and she felt like she was on the surface of the lake, feeling at peace.
After a long time, she felt a ripple enter her mind.
Then she opened her eyes and looked at where the ripple had come from.
Clang!
Another teacup shattered.
Xiao Yu watched helplessly as the teacup fell to the ground. She had used a spell but it was useless.
However, she wasn't depressed this time. Instead, she looked excited.
Without any hesitation, she jumped down from the small chair to clean up the broken pieces. Then, when she had time, she would try sensing for another dropping teacup again. Perhaps, she could catch the teacup on the next try.
Jiang Lan just watched on.
He did not interfere at all.
However, looking at Senior Sister Xiaoyu's excited expression, he felt as if he was looking at an excited child who had just found a new toy.
He did not take it to heart.
At this moment, he really wanted to know where he could go to try the Dragon Slaying Sword. It was impossible for him to find a true dragon to test it out, so he could only find a demonic dragon.
But demonic dragons were also rare.
Jiang Lan calmed himself. Not long after, he realized that another bottle of wine was about to drop.
It was on the other side of the counter.
He looked over.
It was going to drop.
The moment it fell, Xiao Yu jumped out.
Clang!
Xiao Yu fell to the ground.
She managed to catch the bottle.
She looked like a puppy who had just caught a bone.
Jiang Lan didn't think too much about it.
Instead, he continued to think about the Dragon Slaying Sword.
He had tried many times. The Dragon Slaying Sword had almost no effect on plants. It had a little effect on animals, but it was not as good as his ordinary sword techniques.
Thus, he needed to use it once on a true dragon to truly understand the true essence of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
When he really needed to use it the next time, he would appear more composed.
"Junior Brother, are you learning anything recently?" Xiao Yu's voice suddenly reached Jiang Lan's ears.
He subconsciously said.
"Dragon Slaying Sword."
Xiao Yu, who was originally very happy when she received the cup, was stunned when she heard this.
She blinked her large eyes and said unnaturally.
"Junior Brother wants to slay a dragon?"
There was only one dragon in Kunlun.
Everyone knew who it was.
Jiang Lan shook his head. It was just a slip of the tongue.
"I just want to test the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword. However, I can't find a suitable target."
"Junior Brother has already learned the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised.
She had naturally heard of the Dragon Slaying Sword in Kunlun, but she recalled that no one managed to learn it yet.
Jiang Lan did not answer this question.
Xiao Yu was slightly surprised. She very much doubted whether this Junior Brother of hers from the Ninth Summit had a mere ordinary talent.
He managed to learn spells such as the Rainbow Auspicious Clouds and Dragon Slaying Sword, which were spells that others could not learn no matter how hard they tried.
"Junior brother, if you want to test the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword, you can go and look for pythons. Testing it out on them can give you a rough idea of its power.
As for true dragons and demonic dragons, with your strength, you still can't afford to offend them for the time being." Xiao Yu kindly reminded.
Jiang Lan finally realized his oversight.
Then, he thanked her.
When the sky was about to turn dark, Xiao Yu could not help but ask.
"Did Junior Brother learn the Dragon Slaying Sword because you don't like Senior Sister Ao?"
Jiang Lan didn't quite understand what Senior Sister Xiao Yu was asking, but he couldn't answer this question.
He didn't really like her, but he didn't hate her either.
This was because he had yet to understand Ao Longyu.
In the end, Xiao Yu left without an answer from Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan naturally had to return as well.
The innkeeper didn't come back even after they closed the shop.
So after they cleaned up, they closed the door and went back.
As long as the door was closed, they could not open it anymore. It was the same for the others.
Probably only the innkeeper and the young man could open it.
It was very late, and this was Jiang Lan's first time returning to Kunlun late at night.
It was not safe at night and walking was too slow, so he chose to fly on his sword.
However, not long after he flew, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate.
Without any hesitation, he began to retreat.
However, because he didn't immediately use his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel, he was a step too late.
He sensed that the surrounding land seemed to be shrinking.
"Divine power, Earth Shrinking Technique? I wasn't the one who triggered it since I am at the edge of this technique's area of effect. The target isn't me? "
At this moment, Jiang Lan activated his divine power, One Leaf Vision.
Then, he attempted to use his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel to escape the influence of the Earth Shrinking Technique.
It was not very useful.
Soon, he appeared in a mountain forest.
He had been to this mountain before when he had killed Miao Xiu.
The people of the Heavenly Human Race?
This was Jiang Lan's first guess.
But he soon realized that it wasn't.
This was because he saw that the one standing before him had an imprint on his face that was different from that of the Heavenly Human Race.
He should have seen this imprint somewhere before.
Jiang Lan stood further away.
In front of him were two people with the imprint of flame on their faces.
There were two people lying at their feet, one male and one female. Both of them were facing the ground.
They showed no movement. However, their aura was still present so they were probably unconscious.
However, the Earth Shrinking Technique had yet to be cast. No one could detect him yet.
This divine power did not belong to either of them.
"We have two people. However, can we really use them to sneak into Kunlun? Is it that easy to infiltrate?"
Jiang Lan suddenly heard a voice from the other side.
"I can only say that it isn't difficult. I heard that it's because Kunlun made it so on purpose, but I think it's just because their strength is mediocre."
"I'll be able to see the Jade Pool Goddess after entering?"
"Who knows what's going on inside? Let's go in and investigate."
At this moment, the Earth Shrinking Technique's effect had ended, and Jiang Lan's figure instantly appeared before the two.
They were two men. They stood in the dark and their eyes were glowing.
"Two Essence Soul cultivators."
Jiang Lan looked at the two of them calmly.
There was no danger around, but these two people were probably not the ones in charge of this.
Even though Earth Shrinking Technique was a divine power, there was still a prerequisite to one's realm for one to master it.
Even if these two people were given another hundred years, they still wouldn't be able to reach that realm.
"Who are you?"
The long-haired man asked Jiang Lan warily.
Although it was nighttime, he could still see his surroundings clearly.
However, he could not see the person in front of him clearly.
The clothing, face, and facial features of the person in front of him. None of these could be seen.
This was not normal.
However, they also realized that the other party had been pulled by the Earth Shrinking Technique.
This was out of their expectations.
To kill and silence him?
Killing intent rose in the hearts of the two.
From the looks of it, his cultivation base was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. They might not be able to kill him in an instant, especially since the other party seemed to have a powerful Dharma treasure on him.
"I was just taking a walk in the forest and was accidentally pulled over by you two," Jiang Lan looked at the two and said.
The person who had used the Earth Shrinking Technique had yet to appear. There was no need for him to become enemies with these people for now.
Being targeted by too many people would affect his tribulation in the future.
It was already troublesome enough for him to try and avoid those from the Heavenly Human Race.
"You have seen their faces?" The short-haired man looked down at the two people at his feet and asked Jiang Lan.
"No," Jiang Lan replied immediately.
He really hadn't seen them.
"Alright then. You may leave," said the long-haired man.
Jiang Lan was silent.
It was somewhat unexpected, but he didn't say anything further and turned around to leave.
However, when he left, he left behind a Thousand Mile Recorder beneath his feet. This was what he had obtained after signing in.
Even after he left, he could still hear what was happening here.
If it was an ordinary infiltration, he wouldn't care.
However, these two people were here for the Jade Pool Goddess.
Ao Longyu was definitely not someone these two could come into contact with, but…
He was ordinary.
After a while, most people would know about his relationship with Ao Longyu.
Seeing that Jiang Lan had really left, the short-haired man said in surprise.
"Why did you let him go just like that?"
"Of course I will not. There is a natural maze in this mountain forest. The commander has even strengthened it. With his cultivation level, he won't be able to escape."
We'll go back and get the commander and the others to come.
This person should have a secret on him.
Besides, it's not suitable for us to alert the enemy. "The long-haired man's eyes were cold.
"Speaking of which, does the Dragon Race really have a marriage alliance with Kunlun?" The short-haired man no longer paid attention to the departing Jiang Lan. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a Kunlun disciple, intending to carry him on his back.
The long-haired man carried the other one and said.
"The front line is abuzz with rumors. Why else would we need to come here? This is too painful for us demons. Kunlun's support could overwhelm us. The main target this time might not be the Jade Pool Goddess, but the marriage partner of the Jade Pool Goddess. "
"Is our objective to kill him?"
"Who knows? We have to capture him first. Whether he dies or not is not up to us. However, it is said that he is a person who can't become an immortal even by relying on resources. He doesn't pose a threat to us at all. "
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The two of them were stunned for a moment and subconsciously retreated some distance.
They looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, bewildered.
"It's you?"
If their guess was correct, the person who had suddenly appeared was the person who had said he was passing by.
His cultivation was at the perfected Golden Core Realm.
Because they felt that they couldn't directly kill the other party previously, they didn't take action.
Unexpectedly, this person actually delivered himself to their door.
"Yes, it's me."
Jiang Lan's voice sounded.
His original intention was to leave, but when he heard that the main reason these people infiltrated Kunlun was him.
He no longer had any intention of leaving.
Since he knew of the reason they were here, there was no need to keep them alive anymore.
Moreover, they were demons.
Recently, it was said that there were demons coming into the vicinity of Kunlun.
These should be the demons the others were referring to. Furthermore, it seemed that they were here for him.
The marriage alliance between Kunlun and the Dragon Race affected many parties in many ways.
Be it the Dragon Race or Kunlun, they were both powerful existences in the Grand Desolate World. Although it was impossible for the two existences to form a solid alliance through marriage.
It would be an invisible blow to the demons who were still fighting against the Dragon Race.
This would increase the chances of the demons being defeated.
In order to destroy this marriage, he might become everyone's target.
In fact, in Jiang Lan's eyes, even if they killed him, it would be useless.
There were so many people in Kunlun. Someone would replace him if he died. The only difference was that it would at most affect the progress of this matter.
Killing him would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Or perhaps the demons only needed to treat the symptoms.
"Didn't you pass by and leave?" The short-haired man looked gloomy.
Now that this person had appeared here, it meant that the situation was definitely not going to end peacefully.
It seemed like the other party had something up his sleeves.
"I suddenly don't feel like leaving again." Jiang Lan looked at the two and said.
"I want to ask you guys a few questions."
There had to be more than just the two of them. He needed to find out more.
If he wanted to deal with the matter, he had to make sure he settled it once and for all.
He would not be going to seclusion in the near future.
Therefore, it was very easy for him to encounter an ambush.
His ending might be different if he hadn't accidentally met with these two people today.
The ambush targeting him definitely did not just include these two people. After all, he was currently at the perfected Golden Core Realm and his enemies would definitely treat him as an Essence Soul cultivator.
At that time, perhaps he could only escape.
If the matter at the inn was over, he would definitely ignore these people. He would return to the Ninth Summit and enter seclusion in peace. He would only leave the mountain when he was about to become an immortal.
"Are you trying to ask how we're going to kill you?" The long-haired man's voice shook the surroundings and struck straight into Jiang Lan's heart.
The vegetation beside him instantly shattered.
At the same time, the two of them abandoned the Kunlun disciples on their shoulders.
Since the other party had appeared, there was no need for them to waste their breath on him. They decided to test his strength first.
If that didn't work, they would give up on these two Kunlun disciples and let the commander come over immediately.
The short-haired man leaped into the sky as pitch-black wings appeared behind him.
The long-haired man took a few steps back. He moved his head and a phantom image of a lion appeared behind him.
He then let loose a thunderous roar.The lion phantom let out a loud roar.
Its roar felt as if it could shake one's soul and tear one's body.
Roar!
The loud roar tore through the earth and shattered the vegetation around it.
It was as if as long as one was shaken by the sound, one's body would be in great danger, and one's consciousness might even collapse.
The loud roar lasted for a while. The long-haired man believed that when faced with such an attack, a perfected Golden Core cultivator would do his best to avoid it no matter how powerful he was.
The person in the sky was also watching.
Waiting for the target to escape.
However, be it the people on the ground or in the sky, they did not expect the other party to not make any moves.
Had the target died from the shock?
When they wanted to check if the target was dead, the long-haired man suddenly felt his vision blur. Then, he saw a person standing in front of him.
It was none other than the perfected Golden Core cultivator.
"Are you done shouting? Can you answer my question now?"
Jiang Lan stood in front of him, his voice cold.
It was as if the long-haired man would already be a dead man if he did not have to ask him a question.
The long-haired man was shocked, but he quickly flew into a rage out of humiliation.
He was actually frightened by a perfected Golden Core cultivator.
"How arrogant."
At this moment, his hand turned into a lion's claw, slapping towards Jiang Lan.
Facing the attack, Jiang Lan reached out and grabbed its claws.
Then, he pinched it.
Bang!
The long-haired lion's claws were instantly crushed by Jiang Lan.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream rang out. The long-haired lion looked at Jiang Lan in horror. As a demon, his body was much stronger than that of an ordinary human Essence Soul cultivator.
But in front of the other party, he was like a piece of tile, unable to withstand a single blow.
He realized that he was now in a life and death crisis, and he erupted with strength instantly.
The Lion's Roar Technique appeared once again.
This time, the power was much greater than before.
Roar!
However, as soon as he used the Lion's Roar Technique and the voice had just come out of his mouth.
The long-haired lion was shocked to find a hand reaching out towards him.
Then, his mouth was pinched by this hand.
The voice that belonged to him, the power that belonged to his final counterattack, was instantly sealed.
"Too noisy. It seems you don't want to answer my question."
After Jiang Lan's voice sounded, he made his move.
Bang!
Blood mist scattered.
The long-haired lion was directly crushed by him.
After killing one, Jiang Lan raised his head towards the sky.
There was another one standing in the air, seemingly casting a spell.
Jiang Lan was still worried that the other party would flee.
At this moment, the short-haired man's wings became huge. A storm appeared and surrounded Jiang Lan.
Power surged forth like spikes.
"Thousand Feathers Descent."
Rustle!
Jiang Lan saw countless feathers falling from the sky. In his field of vision, countless feathers occupied the sky, and each feather carried great power.
Each of the feathers contained the power of an attack of an early-stage Essence Soul expert.
Whoosh.
All the feathers attacked him together, raining upon him.
This was equivalent to a large number of early-stage Essence Souls attacking together.
This strike could instantly kill an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator. Even an ordinary mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator might die under this attack.
"You won't be able to escape."
The short-haired man had a ruthless expression on his face. He continued to use his power to attack his opponent. His opponent would definitely be unable to escape or dodge.
If his opponent took it head-on, he would only die.
Even a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator would die, much less a perfected Golden Core cultivator.
Once he was allowed to unleash his ultimate killing move, it was equivalent to announcing the death of his opponent.
"I never thought of escaping," said a sudden voice behind the short-haired man.
This sudden change made the short-haired man's pupils contract.
The first thing he wanted to do was to put some distance between them. He would think about the rest when he had time.
With his enormous wings, he could move in a flash. Ordinary people would not be able to catch up to him.
However, when he flapped his wings, he realized that one of his wings couldn't move.
A hand was grabbing onto his wing.
Splash!
Jiang Lan tore it.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out.
One of the giant wings was torn off by Jiang Lan.
The short-haired man wanted to retreat, but he was horrified to discover that his other wing had also been grabbed by that person.
Rip!
The only wing he was left with was torn off again.
It was thrown on the ground.
The short-haired man landed on the ground and felt an unbearable pain on his back.
He stared at the slowly descending Jiang Lan as if he was looking at an abyssal demon.
"I want to ask you a few questions."
Jiang Lan looked at the short-haired man and spoke slowly.
The other party's wings were quite dangerous, so he naturally had to remove them.
"Will you let me go if I tell you?" The short-haired man looked at Jiang Lan with a ferocious expression.
His face was twisting in pain.
"It will make your death a little easier."
Jiang Lan's voice was as calm as ever. Such calmness was frightening in the eyes of the demon.
It was as if the other party would make a move at any moment.
"Then why should I tell you?"
Jiang Lan appeared in front of the short-haired man.
His figure had appeared extremely suddenly, causing the short-haired man to subconsciously take a step back.
However, his breath was unstable and the mountain path was unstable, so he fell onto the ground.
He looked extremely pathetic.
"How many demons are there? Or how many people are there in your stronghold? Also, how strong are they?" Jiang Lan looked down at the short-haired man and asked.
"We… We have one team here. Each team has ten people. The commander-in-charge is at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, while the others are all at the Essence Soul Realm. The major is still on his way," the short-haired man immediately replied.
"Who has the divine power, Earth Shrinking Technique?"
"It's the… The major's."
"What is his cultivation?"
"Human… Human Immortal."
"Where are your people?"
"They are at the Cloud Breaking Cliff which is far away from Kunlun."
Jiang Lan was silent for a moment before asking one last question.
"Which part of what you just said is true?"
When he heard this, the short-haired man looked at Jiang Lan in fear. He wanted to say something.
But a fist took over his entire world, and a powerful force spread through his body.
Jiang Lan stood up and walked forward.
Blood mist filled the sky behind him.
Since he had made his move, he wanted to see what the demons were up to.
After tonight, his enemy would have probably found out that something unusual had happened and would be alerted.
So tonight was the best chance for him to find out more.
As long as he got rid of the existing people, he should be safe till his work at the inn ended.
Then, he would return to the Ninth Summit to cultivate in seclusion.
This matter would have nothing to do with him anymore.
…
…
Kunlun.
Xiao Yu rode her sword forward.
She did not return to the Third Summit.
Or rather, she did not need to return to the Third Summit.
At this moment, she had crossed the nine summits of Kunlun and was heading towards the place behind the nine summits.
Behind the nine summits was the Jade Pool.
Soon, she approached the Jade Pool. At this moment, she had a cold expression on her face, as if she didn't want anyone to come near her.
If she continued forward, she would reach the Jade Pool. Ordinary people would not be able to get close to it.
Xiao Yu seemed to be able to ignore this restriction.
She directly passed through the Jade Pool's restriction and arrived at the Jade Pool's mountain peak.
Just as she was about to land on the ground, her figure began to change.
It was as though she was slowly growing up and the immortal dress on her body was changing as well.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Yu, who was originally a little girl, became slender and elegant. Her long hair reached her waist, and she was devastatingly beautiful.
She wore a blue and white immortal dress and stood beside the Jade Pool.
After pondering for a moment, she entered the Jade Pool.
Her cold face revealed no emotions.
However, a few words came out of her mouth.
"Dragon Slaying Sword…"
Before long, she disappeared into the Jade Pool.
Cloud Breaking Cliff.
A middle-aged man looked at the five people in front of him and said.
"Have you guys thought of a solution?"
He was the commander of this team, Mang Du.
Apart from not daring to go near Kunlun, they also did not dare to bring too many people with them.
Worrying about Kunlun was one thing, but the main thing was that the target was too big and they could be easily spotted.
For example, by people from the Dragon Race.
In Kunlun, apart from the Goddess, there seemed to be another dragon that had yet to leave.
"There should only be two people in the Ninth Summit at the moment. One of them is the Ninth Summit's Summit Leader, Mo Zhengdong, and the other is a disciple with average talent," said a tall and thin man.
He was one of the members of the team, Xiu Jin.
"A person who relies on spirit medicines to increase his cultivation is a piece of trash. He is not worth mentioning. If I hadn't heard that he is the marriage partner of a dragon, I won't even look him in the eye. You don't have to mention him to me. If he falls into my hands, I'll cripple him first."
He would wait for the major to decide whether to kill him or not.
Now, let's talk about the entrance to the Netherworld." Mang Du waved his hand and said.
After some hesitation, Xiu Jin reminded.
"Commander, the major has said that we can't attack this person unless we're far away from Kunlun. We have to wait for the major to arrive before making a move. We can't alert them now."
Mang Du turned to look at Xiu Jin and revealed a ferocious look.
"Are you trying to teach me what to do?"
At this moment, the ferociousness that belonged to Mang Du dispersed in all directions.
Everyone was shocked.
Xiu Jin was even more terrified.
"I wouldn't dare."
"Then how do we approach the entrance to the Netherworld?" Mang Du asked coldly.
"In the short term, we can find someone to sneak into Kunlun and enter the Netherworld Cave to cultivate under the guise of cultivation purposes. But the candidate is a little difficult to choose.
In the long run, we can find someone to join Kunlun normally and then join the Ninth Summit. There is still some time before the Netherworld becomes active." said Xiu Jin immediately.
"Kunlun does not care about us demons at all. It seems like it's time to find something for them to do. Have you started carrying out your plans?" Mang Du asked.
"I've already begun trying out the short-term plan. I have sent some people to try enter Kunlun to see if they can gain anything. If it's too difficult, I'll start to carry out the long-term plan," said Xiu Jin.
"After we enter, we should first confirm the matter about the marriage alliance." Mang Du said.
The Netherworld Cave plan still needed some time before it could succeed.
During this period of time, he had to find and figure out the person engaged with the member of the Dragon Race.
However, the person was just a piece of trash. Did he really need to pay attention to him?
Once his location was known, there was no problem in directly killing him.
At most, he wouldn't be able to escape after the deed was done.
"Find out his whereabouts. I want to go take a look at that useless human. Hmph. He is actually trying to get close to the Dragon Race to become an immortal. I look down on such people the most. "Mang Du's voice was somewhat disdainful.
The five people in front of him naturally did not dare to have any thoughts of going against him.
This commander of theirs was a little hot-tempered and reckless.
However, he was very strong and proficient in array formations.
He was also born with divine strength.
Dong!
Just as they were about to respond to Mang Du, they suddenly heard a voice from outside.
Two of them ran out.
Then, they saw a human shadow escaping.
The human was escaping at a very fast speed.
"Chase after him. We have to catch him no matter what." Mang Du's face was gloomy.
Someone was actually eavesdropping on their conversation.
His array formation actually did not have any reaction even when there was someone there all along.
The remaining three chased after him.
They naturally knew how serious this matter was.
Once Kunlun found out, not only would all their plans fail, but they would also have to escape immediately.
If the person wasn't from Kunlun however, there was still room for negotiation.
After everyone left, Mang Du stood up and was on full alert.
"Come out. I've already lured them away. Are you waiting for them to return?"
At this moment, Mang Du sensed a power appearing behind him.
Without any hesitation.
He gathered all of his strength and his bloodline began to surge. His strength had reached its peak.
Then, he threw a punch towards his back.
The image of an elephant appeared on his arm, and his power erupted to its peak.
Boom!!!
The two fists collided.
A powerful force spread in all directions.
Bang!
Everything around him shattered into pieces.
The cave that was on the cliff suddenly shattered.
The surrounding forest began to crumble.
Mang Du had used his full strength. He had absolute confidence.
But… after he punched, he felt like he was facing a towering mountain.
That terrifying power made his heart palpitate, and shortly after, an intense pain ran through his arm.
Crack!
Mang Du could clearly feel his arm starting to break.
He didn't continue fighting head-on and instantly tried to retreat
Bang!
Mang Du was blasted flying.
Wood and gravel fell around him, and in front of him was an indistinct figure.
"Who are you?"
He did not care about his right hand. He could still fight.
Jiang Lan was a little surprised that his sneak attack had failed.
The person from before was indeed lying to him.
The commander here wasn't at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm; he was already at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm.
He was even about to reach the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.
He was just lacking a little from breaking through.
One of the others was at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, while the rest were all at the Essence Soul Realm.
Jiang Lan wasn't worried about the others; he was more concerned about this mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator.
If he managed to lure one or two of them away previously, he would kill them one by one. But since he managed to lure everyone away, he would directly kill this person first.
The rest could be taken care of slowly.
He favored the latter.
It was troublesome for powerful people to escape, so he had to kill the strongest as soon as possible and then slowly deal with the rest.
Even if the others escaped, it was fine. After the most powerful had died, the others were not a threat.
However, it would be troublesome if the strongest was sufficiently guarded.
Especially since his cultivation was stronger than his, he could only rely on the Power of Nine Bulls.
He had thought that the plan was a success, but the other party had exposed his plan with a single sentence and made him act hastily.
And the other party's strength was indeed ridiculously strong. If not for the fact that his Power of Nine Bulls had reached its peak recently, he might not have had the upper hand.
"You knew I was going to attack you?" Jiang Lan asked.
His voice was calm.
"How can I discover you if you had just been eavesdropping silently? You must have intentionally let me found out about you. After that, you would take care of them one by one if they went to scout in separate batches. If they all went together, you will then come and kill me first. Isn't this your plan? Who hasn't used this trick of luring the tiger away from its mountain?" Mang Du looked at Jiang Lan with a serious expression.
"Of course. All this was just speculation. My last sentence was just a ruse, to try my luck if you were really still here."
Jiang Lan nodded to show that he understood. He had learned something new today.
He truly did not have much battle experience, or perhaps he had not encountered enough of such situations.
However, he was never good at scheming.
His specialty was killing enemies.
In the next moment, Jiang Lan vanished on the spot.
Mang Du did not panic at all. He took a step forward and his body began to change. His skin seemed to have become much tougher.
A thick elephant skin appeared on his arm. His blood was pulsing, as if it was pulsing with power.
Mang Du growled and immediately counterattacked.
He did not see the other party's cultivation clearly. It should be at the same level as him.
Without reaching the late-stage Void Refinement Realm, how could a human's physical strength compare with his?
He wanted to let the other party know the feeling of being crushed by a fist.
He wanted to let the other party feel how he would turn into a blood mist.
His opponent was just a mere human.Mang Du began to strike back with his fists. His strength had condensed to his highest limit.
He was confident that he could battle against a late-stage Void Refinement mighty figure with his current strength.
How was this human going to fight him?
Jiang Lan didn't have too many thoughts. His only thought was to quickly kill his opponent.
This was a demon similar to him. It cultivated the power of the fist.
Such a demon who did not use a variety of spells was much easier to deal with for him.
He didn't need to gauge the power of the spell techniques unleashed by his opponent. He just needed to let his opponent know who would be blown up.
Jiang Lan appeared in front of Mang Du and punched out.
Fist against fist and no one retreated the slightest bit.
Boom!
Mang Du was sent flying by a punch, but it was not a big deal.
Jiang Lan wasn't surprised. He then popped a Powerful Vajrapani Pill into his mouth.
This enemy had very good endurance, and he couldn't delay any longer. He had to kill him as soon as possible.
After arriving in front of Mang Du, Jiang Lan sent out another punch.
Boom!
Mang Du continued to be pushed back, and Jiang Lan continued to pursue him.
One punch, then another.
Pu!
On the fifth punch, Mang Du, who had been sent flying, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was filled with disbelief.
However, he still didn't retreat in the slightest, erupting with all of his strength to fight against Jiang Lan.
Facing Mang Du who was still erupting with strength, Jiang Lan activated all of the medicinal strength in the pill he had just consumed. Now wasn't the time to consider other things. He had to kill this person first.
Once someone else stepped into this fight, he might not be able to kill them and escape unscathed.
If they manage to escape, it would bring him great danger in the future.
Jiang Lan mobilized all the power he could muster. The power in his body erupted continuously. As the power of his bloodline surged, there was the sound of a giant ox trampling the mountains and rivers.
Following that, another bull's cry sounded.
It came from the void, wishing to smash through heaven and earth.
Moo!
At this moment, Jiang Lan collided with Mang Du's fist.
Boom!!!
As the power of the collision between their fists spread out, the Cloud Breaking Cliff seemed to have suffered a tremendous blow.
Facing this fist, Mang Du wasn't forced back, because the arm that belonged to him was directly shattered layer by layer by Jiang Lan's fist, disintegrating bit by bit.
Bang!
A punch flew past.
Mang Du's arm had turned into a bloody mist.
Only after that did he fly backward. Cracks began to appear on his body as the power of Jiang Lan's fist shattered his vitality.
It caused his strength to dissipate.
This punch also shattered his confidence and shattered his pride.
He was killed by a human.
How was this possible?
"I don't believe it. This can't be happening."
Mang Du's arm was gone. He tried to get up from the ground, but there was no strength left in his body.
Jiang Lan appeared in front of him, not intending to say anything.
Not only did other party target him, he had even targeted the Ninth Summit.
He had to get rid of the other party.
"Impossible. Your cultivation level is definitely not higher than mine. Why? Why are you able to defeat me?" Mang Du did not believe what was happening.
"Why is it impossible?" Jiang Lan came to Mang Du's side and asked.
Even though his opponent's life force had been shattered by his fist, he still wanted to give him another punch.
To ensure that the other party did not have any other means of saving his own life.
Even if there was, it would be too late.
"Who are you? Why do you want to go against us demons?" Only now did Mang Du calm down.
Jiang Lan squatted on the ground and stretched out his hand to grab Mang Du.
"I am the trash human you spoke of earlier."
Mang Du instantly knew who the other party was.
His eyes widened as he spoke uncontrollably.
"It's you? How is that possible?"
Impossible. Had everyone been feeding him the wrong information?
Bang!!!
Mang Du's face carried shock and unwillingness before completely turning into a bloody mist.
Jiang Lan didn't hold back and didn't answer any other questions.
At this moment, the five people who had gone out finally returned.
When they saw this scene, they knew that something big had happened.
Especially when they saw the scene of their commander getting killed.
"Kill him. This person's strength has already reached its limit. He is definitely not our match now. However, don't kill him." Xiu Jin immediately chose to keep Jiang Lan alive and as a captive.
Although Jiang Lan did not know who the other party was, it was too late for him to escape now.
He had to survive and escape.
None of these people were body cultivators. An aura then spread out from the sky.
It was the combined aura of the Void Refinement cultivator and Essence Soul cultivators.
Jiang Lan stood on the ground and looked at the five people in the sky. He was somewhat exhausted.
Therefore, he could only take out his sword to stall for time.
Killing Mang Du had consumed a lot of his energy.
However, he had already consumed a medicinal pill and would recover very quickly.
Boom!
Boom!!
Attacks began to appear as Jiang Lan's figure appeared in front of these people.
After a long time.
A mist of blood filled the air.
Jiang Lan left the cliff with some injuries.
Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.
The elixir that he had gained from signing was allowing him to recover very quickly.
He couldn't go back with injuries.
Jiang Lan left, leaving behind a group of wolves and demons that had arrived at the last minute.
He probably couldn't kill the rest.
However, this was enough to disrupt the other force's plans, and he would have a period of peace until he returned to the Ninth Summit from the inn to enter seclusion.
At the very least, he was able to resolve the problem at hand.
After changing his clothes, Jiang Lan walked back to the Ninth Summit.
"The demons' main target is the entrance to the Netherworld. It seems like I can't avoid this matter no matter what."
He began to think about what he had discovered today.
There was only one disciple in the Ninth Summit, and that was him.
If the others were to target the Netherworld entrance, they would definitely face him.
He was considered a roadblock to them and furthermore, he was the marriage partner of the member of the Dragon Race. Thus, no matter what, they had to deal with Jiang Lan.
"The Ninth Summit is safe, but I am not sure if there are still demons in Kunlun. Although the chances of them becoming personal disciples were very low, there is still a chance a demon can make it through the process. Looks like I'll have to set up some array formations in the Ninth Summit to increase the defenses."
In the past, Jiang Lan didn't pay much attention to this. Now, he felt that setting up array formations in the Ninth Summit was a very necessary addition.
Not only did he have to set up array formations in the outer regions of the Ninth Summit, he had to set some up at the entrance to the Netherworld Cave.
This way, even if he was in seclusion, he would know when an outsider had intruded.
As the candidate who has the most potential of becoming the Ninth Summit's Summit Leader, he naturally had to start guarding the Netherworld Cave.
Master had said that the Summit Leader's responsibility did not only lie in guarding the Netherworld Cave.
However, he was not the Summit Leader yet.
"However, my attainments in the study of array formations are insufficient. Although I can learn it myself, it's better if someone teaches me."
He had not obtained anything related to array formations from signing in. He had learned all of his knowledge on array formations himself.
And if he wanted to learn more, it would be best if he was guided by someone with attainments in the study of array formations.
With the Dao Comprehension Tea, he should be able to learn very quickly.
"I'll ask Master tomorrow and see if he is knowledgeable in this aspect."
With a rough plan in mind, he stopped thinking about this matter.
However, he had used the Dragon Slaying Sword just now. It had an effect on demons, but when he had used it, he had felt that something was wrong. It was as if even if he was using it against a demonic dragon, it was impossible for him to unleash its true strength.
He needed to better learn the Dragon Slaying Sword. It should be quite effective against demons or dragons.
Although his Power of Nine Bulls was very strong, he still had to consider situations where he needed to have a long fight with his opponent.
He had a battle prowess that surpassed his cultivation level, and others could also have the same.
It was always good to have more moves.

"I can ask Master about this too."
He had obtained many spells and sword skills from signing in, and he had figured that there should also be different realms in the cultivation of sword techniques.
As long as he could understand the true essence of the Dragon Slaying Sword, his other sword techniques should be able to reach a higher level.
Of course, these were all backup moves. He would still mainly cultivate the Power of Nine Bulls.
After returning to the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan immediately headed to the Netherworld Cave.
The wounds on his body could not be seen.
His internal injuries were also very difficult to detect. He was more or less fine now.
After returning to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan adjusted his aura and allowed himself to be in a relatively better state. He then began to try cultivating the Power Of Nine Tribulations.
In today's battle, he felt that he was still too weak.
His enemy and himself were both at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, but if he wanted to kill his opponent, he would have to consume the Powerful Vajrapani Pill and even use seven or eight punches before he could do the job.
The whole process took a long time.
He was almost exhausted.
If not for the fact that he had a lot of medicinal pills and Dharma treasures on him.
He would not be back so easily tonight.
During this period of time, the demons should become relatively quiet, but the Heavenly Human Race was still a threat.
However, without encountering them, it was difficult for Jiang Lan to know their motives.
Unless he went over to eavesdrop on them.
It was not impossible.
"Let's see how long more I have to stay at the inn tomorrow. If it's ten to fifteen days more, I'll go look for the members of the Heavenly Human Race and find out about the situation. "
If they were targeting him, he would attack them directly.
If the reason why they were here had nothing to do with him, he would ignore it for now.
This was to avoid alerting the enemy.
Of course, if the other party was targeting him and was especially strong, then he would return to the Ninth Summit.
Then he would tell his master that he experienced an epiphany.
And had successfully become an Essence Soul cultivator.
Without thinking more, Jiang Lan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
At this moment, his attention was focused on a book in his mind.
It was the Power Of Nine Tribulations.
He was going to try to open the book tonight. Once he was able to do so, he would be able to learn it.
No one knew what would happen after learning it.
He had indeed learned the Dragon Slaying Sword, but he felt that he was far from being able to unleash its true power.
The Dragon Slaying Sword only had one move and one level, which was different from the Power of Nine Bulls.
The Power of Nine Bulls had various levels.
Perhaps the Dragon Slaying Sword also had various levels, but there was no clear distinction between them and he had no idea what they were like for now.
It all depended on his comprehension of the technique.
Just as Jiang Lan was about to activate the Power Of Nine Tribulations, he suddenly saw The Unmoved Sage beside him.
He had obtained this Sage Chapter a long time ago. The value of this book was no less than that of the Creation of Heaven and Earth.
He could clearly feel it.
But he could not learn it for now.
He couldn't even try to draw inspiration from it.
He had a feeling that once he came into contact with it, he would learn it even if he didn't want to.
In the end, he might even master The Unmoved Sage. This was not what he wanted.
He did not like the fact that he would become a person with no emotions.
Without thinking further, Jiang Lan started to flip open the Power Of Nine Tribulations in his mind.
As he flipped it open, his Power of Nine Bulls began to surge, and the Spiritual Suppression Force surged within his bloodline.
As the Spiritual Suppression Force surged, his Power of Nine Bulls was also circulated to the maximum. It was as if an invisible bull was running frantically in his body.
Jiang Lan's body endured this sudden change.
At this moment, cracks began to appear on his body. He was unable to withstand the combined power of the Power of Nine Bulls and Spiritual Suppression Force.
In the face of this situation, Jiang Lan didn't stop there. This was all still within his tolerance.
The Power Of Nine Tribulations was the superior spell technique of the Power Of Nine Bulls. It was definitely going to be difficult to cultivate.
Most importantly, his cultivation level had yet to reach the requirement.
Immortal techniques were difficult to learn unless one was an immortal.
The current situation was not serious.
If he was an immortal, there would definitely not be any problems.
He could learn it directly.
The power was surging. Jiang Lan felt the damage and changes brought along by the power rampaging in his body.
He did not try to intervene.
At this moment, the book on the Power Of Nine Tribulations had been completely opened. Jiang Lan instantly understood the contents of the book.
Then, it fused into his body.
Jiang Lan finally understood.
When the two forces are activated to their limits, they would try to fuse together, and the result of it would be the Power Of Nine Tribulations.
At the base level, it was still the Power of Nine Bulls.
Moo!
An invisible bull's roar came from his bloodline.
At this moment, his power surged to its limits. His Power of Nine Bulls began to undergo a completely new transformation. The power that was originally like a vast ocean instantly began to shrink.
In just a moment, there was only a trace of water left.
It was as if he had transformed from a massive bull into a newborn calf.
However, this hair-thin source of power had an aura that was even more terrifying than the fully activated Power of Nine Bulls.
Boom!!
In an instant, the hair-like energy expanded and transformed into the Power of Nine Bulls again.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
He immediately stabilized his strength.
After a long time, his aura calmed down and his injuries recovered quickly.
Nothing was left behind.
"Done."
Jiang Lan could sense that he had cultivated the Power Of Nine Tribulations, but its essence was still the Power of Nine Bulls.
There was only a qualitative change.
The thin stream of force from before had completely surpassed the full strength of the Power Of Nine Bulls.
But…
He couldn't use it.
He could only tap on that thin stream of energy for an instant. There wasn't even enough time for him to throw out a punch.
"I wonder if I'll be able to unleash this attack when I reach the perfected Void Refinement Realm and punch out with that new energy."
However, he was certain that he could now kill the Void Refinement demon from before with one punch.
In truth, his Power of Nine Bulls was already very strong, but that demon previously was one that had undergone body refinement.
The other party's talent was outstanding. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the Power of Nine Bulls, he might not have won the battle last night.
With the opponent's versatility in so many spell techniques, who knew how long they would have to fight before he could gain the upper hand and kill him.
Jiang Lan calmed himself down and prepared to leave.
It was already dawn and there was still some time before he had to go to the inn.
However, he planned to look for his master first.
The thoughts he had last night needed to be realized. Matters relating to array formations could not be delayed.
After all, this concerned his seclusion cultivation.
Although there were still dozens of years before the Netherworld Cave became active again, it was better to be prepared.
After watering the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower, Jiang Lan headed outside.
It was true that he couldn't use the Power Of Nine Tribulations at the moment, but perhaps he could unleash the punch when he was at the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.
At most, he would have to wait till he perfected his Void Refinement before he could unleash a punch with the Power Of Nine Tribulations.
Such things could not be rushed.
It was already very lucky for him to be able to learn the skill.
At the peak of the ninth peak, Jiang Lan saw his master watching the sunrise.
"Master."
His voice was respectful.
"It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you."
Mo Zhengdong turned around and looked at Jiang Lan.
He then took out a dark-colored bead and handed it to Jiang Lan.
"Because of the marriage alliance, you might be targeted recently. With this, you will be much safer in the vicinity of Kunlun."
Jiang Lan accepted the bead. He was not surprised at all. The Dragon Race and demons were all staring at him.
His master had said that it would be much safer with the bead, which meant that it was still not that safe.
He had to be careful.
The Grand Desolate World was dangerous to begin with. There were some things that one could not avoid even if they did not want to be involved in it.
The only thing he could do was try not to get involved in these things.
Once he was involved, he had to think of a way to deal with it.
Of course, there were some things that even if he didn't need to get involved, he would still choose to get involved.
For example, guarding the Netherworld Cave.
In reality, after becoming an immortal, his best choice was to leave and not be restricted to guarding the Netherworld Cave.
The Grand Desolate World was huge. As long as he was careful enough, he could stroll around anywhere.
By doing so, he could also find good places for him to sign in.
However, his master had treated him very well.
He had to stay and fulfill his duty as a disciple.
"Thank you, Master."
Jiang Lan thanked him but didn't say anything else.
Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan.
This disciple of his knew his limits.
He did not need to instruct him on too many things.
Although his cultivation was a little weak, Jiang Lan could differentiate between danger and safety.
And he could have his own ideas.
All he could do was give proper advice and some protection.
Jiang Lan was the most outstanding disciple he had ever seen, and the disciple he was most proud of.
"What's the matter?" Mo Zhengdong asked.
If there was nothing, Jiang Lan normally wouldn't come up.
Unless he had bought wine for him.
Actually, he didn't drink often.
But since Jiang Lan had already bought it, he would drink it.
After all, this was the only way Jiang Lan could think of to show filial respect.
He didn't hate it.
"I have some questions to ask you, Master."
Jiang Lan spoke softly.
Then, he roughly sorted out his thoughts from last night and continued.
"I've been wanting to learn about array formations recently, but it's a little difficult to learn on my own. I want to find someone to teach me. Master, are your attainments in array formations high?"
"I do know more than you," Mo Zhengdong said as he looked at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan had been learning array formations for a long time.
He could tell just by looking at the array formations in the main hall.
His disciple would add keep adding on array formations when he was free.
However, his attainments were only average.
Of course, he was still much stronger than his peers.
Jiang Lan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that his master's attainments were higher than his. At least he could learn something from him.
He had the Dao Comprehension Tea, so he should be able to surpass his master very quickly.
However, before he could feel happy, he was splashed with a bucket of cold water.
"But I can't teach you."
"Why?"
"It's best to find someone who is more knowledgeable in this area to teach you. Otherwise, your future in the cultivation of array formations may become limited. Wait for me for a few days. I'll inform the Summit Leader of the Fifth Summit and let her guide you for a few days," Mo Zhengdong said seriously.
Jiang Lan was surprised.
The Summit Leader of the Fifth Summit.
Miao Yue?
There were only two female cultivators who were the Summit Leaders of Kunlun.
One was Third Summit's Zhu Qing, while the other was Fifth Summit's Miao Yue.
Jiang Lan only had a general understanding of this Summit Leader's appearance.
He didn't know much about her character.
"Is the Summit Leader of the Fifth Summit very knowledgeable on array formations?" Jiang Lan asked curiously.
"She's one of the top few in Kunlun. What do you think?" Mo Zhengdong asked softly.
Was she that strong? Jiang Lan was a little surprised. Array formations required a long time to learn. It was very impressive that she was able to have high attainments in the study of array formations and one's cultivation at the same time.
But how many days would it take before the lessons could start?
There must be an exchange of favor involved in this matter.
Jiang Lan didn't refuse. Owing his master favors was different from owning others a favor.
It was fine as long as he did not let his master down.
"Thank you, Master. Are you proficient in sword techniques?" Jiang Lan asked again.
He wanted to be more knowledgeable in the study of array formations to strengthen the Ninth Summit while he wanted to learn more about sword techniques so that he could strengthen himself.
It was mainly so that he could protect himself against the demons and dragons.
Other spell techniques weren't very effective against dragons.
Other than the Power of Nine Bulls, the Dragon Slaying Sword posed the greatest threat to the dragon race.
Facing a dragon, it was best to use a sword.
"Sword technique? That depends on what sword technique it is," Mo Zhengdong replied.
The marriage alliance should have given Jiang Lan even more pressure.
The matter of the Dragon Race was indeed quite overbearing for Jiang Lan.
"Dragon Slaying Sword." Jiang Lan immediately answered.
"Oh?" Mo Zhengdong was taken aback as he tried asking,
"Dragon Slaying Sword? You've learned it? "
"I have," Jiang Lan replied honestly.
There was no need to hide such things.
"When did you learn it?" Mo Zhengdong asked again.
He knew about the Dragon Slaying Sword, but only one person in Kunlun had learned it.
At least on the surface.
He had heard from that person that if one wanted to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword, the first requirement was that one did not fear the Dragon Race and had the intention to kill a dragon.
"These two days," Jiang Lan replied.
Didn't that mean that his disciple had learned the technique after he knew of the engagement? Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and raised an eyebrow.
"You wish to… kill your wife?"
Jiang Lan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at his master in astonishment.
"Master, you worry too much," Jiang Lan immediately said.
Although he had thought of using Senior Sister Ao to test his sword, he had never thought of killing her.
As for the other dragons, he had no intention of killing them. After all, killing dragons was a very troublesome matter.
He did not want to cause trouble for himself.
Cultivating was what he needed to do.
However, he had to have the ability to kill dragons.
Mo Zhengdong smiled and said.
"Learning that technique is good too."
As for how Jiang Lan did it, he didn't care.
It was not good to appear weak when facing the dragons.
Once one looked too vulnerable, the dragon would think that one is afraid of him and not because one just wanted to be humble.
"Which one do you want to learn first? The Dragon Slaying Sword or the study of array formations?" Mo Zhengdong asked.
"Array formations." Jiang Lan said.
For now, he should first be able to guard against the others before reinforcing his cultivation with the Dragon Slaying Sword.
"Alright, I'll wait for you to advance to the Essence Soul Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, you will then go to the Fifth Summit to learn about array formations first.
Cultivating the Dragon Slaying Sword is rather easy. However, you will need to make a trip to the Eighth Summit." Mo Zhengdong gave a general explanation.
After thanking his master, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit.
Now he had to go to the inn.
Jiang Lan was more surprised when he heard that he would go to the other summits to cultivate.
However, he had to advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.
This was not a big problem.
The only thing he needed to be concerned about was that the other summits were not as safe as the Ninth Summit.
He had to be more vigilant when the time came.
The morning sun shone on him while he was walking, giving him a warm feeling.
Jiang Lan walked towards the sunlight.
The weather was unusually good today.
When he arrived at the inn, Xiao Yu was already there.
At this moment, she was reading a book, like a diligent young girl who was studying early in the morning.
Upon seeing Jiang Lan, Xiao Yu closed her book and quietly placed it behind her.
"I want to ask you some questions."
When Jiang Lan came over, Xiao Yu immediately spoke.
"Senior Sister, please speak." Jiang Lan stopped in front of Xiaoyu.
"How did you learn the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Xiaoyu asked.
"I learned it after reading it once," Jiang Lan replied.
He had indeed only seen it once.
Learning the Dragon Slaying Sword depended on luck. Otherwise, everyone in Kunlun would have known how to execute it.
If so, could the Dragon Race tolerate the existence of Kunlun?
It would be more logical for the two parties to engage in an all-out war if that was the case.
"…"
Xiaoyu had been reading for the whole night. However, she had still not managed to learn it.
Creak!
At this moment, the door to the inn opened.
It was the innkeeper.
"Come in."
Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu walked in.
"Boss, are you not going out today?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
Jiang Lan also felt that the innkeeper didn't bring anything today. He seemed different from usual.
"I'm done with my affairs. Today will be your last day here." The innkeeper walked to the backyard.
"You guys can clean up the place first."
At this moment, the innkeeper had already left the inn and headed to the backyard.
Jiang Lan looked at the floor and found many wine bottles and bones.
"These people are really casual."
Although Jiang Lan had something to say about the things on the ground, he didn't really care.
He then started cleaning up the place.
Xiao Yu squatted beside Jiang Lan and helped him clean.
"Junior Brother, are you here to gain experience to advance to the Essence Soul Realm?"
"Yes, but opportunities are hard to come by." Jiang Lan packed the wine bottle and got up to pick up the other trash.
If today was the last day, he probably would not have the opportunity. This was what Xiao Yu was asking about.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything, only passing the broom to Jiang Lan.
She encountered many things before she advanced to the Essence Soul Realm.
It was not that easy to advance to the Essence Soul Realm.

"Right. How many years has it been since Junior Brother entered the sect?" Xiao Yu asked.
"A hundred and forty years or so," Jiang Lan replied.
"You are… so young?"
"…"Young.
Jiang Lan looked at Senior Sister Xiao Yu and felt that it was rather dramatic to be called young by a Senior Sister who looked like that.
He said nothing.
According to his age, he was indeed younger.
The late-stage Essence Soul Xiao Yu should be over 200 years old.
This was the cultivation speed of a genius.
If one's talent was slightly worse, one might already be over 300 before one reached this realm.
The Heavenly Human Race's Miao Xiu had perfected his Essence Soul after cultivating for merely more than 200 years. He was also considered a genius.
It would normally take around another 300 years for one to progress to the Void Refinement Realm from the Essence Soul Realm.
Little took less than 300 years, while most took more than 300 years.
Therefore, it was still considered pretty fast for Jiang Lan to take around 500 more years to become an immortal on the surface.
As for Senior Sister Ao, she should become an immortal within the next 300 years.
However, the matter of the engagement had yet to spread in Kunlun.
There was no announcement, just a verbal agreement for now.
There should be a confirmation of the matter later on.
After all, only one dragon had come. It was impossible that he could call all the shots. There should be more dragons coming in the future for this matter.
After the decision was finalized, it would be announced immediately, and he would have to hide for hundreds of years.
He needed to do so to reduce his exposure to the world.
After packing, Jiang Lan placed the trash in the backyard.
There was no sign of the innkeeper.
He did not see the Pixiu either.
"The Pixiu hasn't returned yet?" Xiao Yu asked when Jiang Lan returned to the counter.
"Mn, I haven't seen him since he was chased out by the dragon the last time," Jiang Lan replied calmly.
At this moment, he subconsciously reached out to hold the teacup beside him.
However, just as he reached halfway, Xiao Yu suddenly jumped over to hold the teacup.
So fast?
Jiang Lan was a little surprised. Catching a teacup wasn't difficult, but it wasn't that easy to react so quickly.
Senior Sister Xiao Yu was extremely talented.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was happy to have caught the teacup.
She seemed to have a sense of accomplishment.
She had specially prepared for this just now and was waiting for this to happen. Otherwise, she wouldn't have noticed it.
On the other hand, as soon as Jiang Lan entered the room, he immediately noticed the teacup. Although Xiao Yu did not say anything, she was very surprised in her heart.
Could a normal person's mental state be so high at this age?
Xiao Yu felt that it was impossible. Even someone who had just become an immortal might not have such an exaggerated mental state.
"Boss didn't ask about it, so it should be fine," Xiao Yu replied.
Jiang Lan nodded, not saying anything. As for the other things that would fall, he didn't have any intention of taking action.
Since Senior Sister Xiao Yu wanted to play, he didn't want to disturb her.
Otherwise, he would easily offend her.
Making someone unhappy was equivalent to bringing trouble to himself.
"After some time, some people from the Dragon Race might come. Does Junior Brother know of this matter?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"I've never heard of it," Jiang Lan said softly.
He really did not know, but it should be about the marriage alliance.
He hoped that nothing would happen then.
He did not want to be at the center of attention.
Of course, a marriage alliance would definitely put him at the center of attention.
He just wanted the matter to not put him at a spot where he was even more exposed.
For example, making him fight against some young dragons.
"I heard that the Dragon Race is here for a major event. There might be some trouble. Junior Brother, it's best if you pay attention to the matter. "Xiao Yu reminded him.
It was just a reminder. She had no idea what would actually happen.
"Many thanks, Senior Sister." Jiang Lan bowed his head in thanks.
It seemed like he had to pay attention.
After settling the matters here, he would pay more attention to the outside world when he returned to seclusion.
He would also make a reminder array formation.
Since the matter concerned himself, he would not ignore it.
Xiao Yu nodded her head and did not say anything else. She continued to calm down and tried to capture the appearance of the ripples.
Once ripples appeared, it meant that a bottle was about to fall.
This was indeed a good place to cultivate.
However, she was unable to comprehend it at the beginning.
After successfully catching two bottles, Xiao Yu finally asked what she had been wanting to ask.
"Junior Brother, what do you think is needed to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword?"
She wanted to get a general understanding of the situation so as to prevent future troubles.
This question was a little difficult for Jiang Lan, but he remembered the conversation he had with his master that morning.
Then, he said with an uncertain tone.
"You will probably need a dragon-slaying mindset."
This was his own guess. He did not know if it was right or wrong.
When the time came for him to learn about the Dragon Slaying Sword, he could ask again.
He would tell this Senior Sister of his when the time came.
If they still had a chance to meet.
The other party told him about the matter regarding the Dragon Race, so he would treat this as a return gift.
It wasn't a big deal, but it was still useful.
Dragon-slaying mindset?
Xiao Yu opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before choosing to speak.
"Junior Brother hates Senior Sister Ao?"
"I don't hate her," Jiang Lan replied directly.
The last time Xiao Yu asked a similar question, it seemed to be asking if he did not like Ao Longyu.
He could not answer that question.
But this question was easy to answer.
He really didn't hate her.
Of course not.
"Oh." Xiao Yu did not probe further.
Bang!
The door to the inn suddenly closed.
Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu were stunned.
It was abnormal for the door to suddenly close, but neither of them panicked.
Jiang Lan began to take precautions. His strength could erupt at any moment.
Furthermore, this wasn't just his superficial strength; it was the power of a Void Refinement cultivator.
He would not let down his guard.
"Come to the backyard."
A voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu's minds.
Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu looked at each other.
It seemed like they had both heard the same thing.
It was the innkeeper's voice.
Jiang Lan moved towards the backyard.
Xiao Yu too jumped off the chair and followed him.
"Junior Brother, what do you think the boss called us for?" Xiao Yu asked on the way.
Jiang Lan thought for a moment, then said.
"It's probably because of why my master made me come here."
An opportunity.
His master had asked him to come here to seek an opportunity that could help him breakthrough.
Today was the last day, so if there was really such an opportunity present here, it would definitely be today.
If not, he didn't care either.
Xiao Yu nodded. It was just a coincidence that she had come here. However, if she was given the opportunity to choose whether to come here or not again, she would definitely choose the latter.
Becoming stronger was what everyone wanted.
Everyone wanted to cross the threshold of becoming an immortal.
The two of them came to the backyard and saw the innkeeper sitting on a wooden chair in front of the field with his shoulders facing them.
"Boss."
Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu arrived before the innkeeper.
It was as they were asking why the boss wanted them to come here, especially since he had chosen to close the door today.
"Today is your last day of helping out here. As a reward for your work these few days, I'll give you two something."
The innkeeper looked at Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu as he pointed to the end of the field and continued.
"Go straight ahead. It will depend on yourself to see how much you two can and will comprehend."
Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu immediately looked towards the end of the field.
In Jiang Lan's eyes, at the end stood a willow tree, while in Xiao Yu's eyes, she saw a spirit spring.
The two of them thanked him and walked towards the end of the field.
On the way, Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"When Junior Brother was hired, did you take a bottle of wine?"
"Yes, I did. The boss had said that it was a reward for helping." Jiang Lan nodded.
Yes, they had received their salary from the very beginning.
Unexpectedly, there was another one now.
Xiao Yu wanted to say something, but she quickly realized that Jiang Lan was no longer around.
She was not surprised and walked towards the spirit spring.
She knew that the willow tree that Jiang Lan saw was different from hers.
Therefore, the place they were headed to should also be different.
Halfway there, Jiang Lan saw that Xiao Yu had disappeared.
It didn't bother him.
As they had seen different things from the start, they might have gone to different places.
"This place is indeed different."
However, he was a little curious. He had already been there the last time. Would it be different this time?
Soon, Jiang Lan approached the willow tree.
But as he approached, he felt something very subtle.
It was as if he had suddenly entered the void. The tree in front of him seemed very close, yet very far away at the same time.
Jiang Lan calmly looked ahead. He didn't question his own feelings. Instead, he continued walking towards the willow tree.
He walked forward step by step. However, he did not see himself getting nearer to the willow tree.
Although he was a little surprised, Jiang Lan still approached step by step.
He was not in a hurry. He just walked steadily on the road.
He felt as if he had walked for an hour, but he still did not get any closer.
Two hours.
Twelve hours.
One day.
When Jiang Lan felt that he had walked for an entire day, he discovered that his surroundings had started to turn pitch black. As time passed, the willow tree had also turned into a door.
At this moment, he had a feeling that as long as he managed to reach the door, it would be much easier when it was time for him to advance to immortality.
This was the main reason why his master wanted him to come. He could try to break through here.
The innkeeper was indeed extraordinary.
This opportunity could not be sought out. He did not waste it and walked towards the willow tree.
He wanted to become an immortal.
The further he went, the more Jiang Lan felt as if his surroundings were replaced by nothingness, covered by darkness.
It was as if there was a bottomless abyss ahead.
The path to immortality had always been a bottomless abyss from the start.
However, once overcame it, it would be a wide and open road.
Jiang Lan advanced step by step. The road ahead was filled with countless tribulations and endless twists and turns.
He wasn't afraid of calamity, nor was he afraid of darkness. He didn't care about right or wrong. He pressed forward with fortitude.
The immortal gate was right in front of him.
Why would he give up?
Even if he couldn't see it, even if there was a great distance between them.
It was still worth it for him to walk step by step to the end.
His steps became faster and faster. A light began to appear on his body. It was his conviction.
He cut off the thistles and thorns on the road and broke through all the obstacles. His conviction transformed into a stream of light that pursued the immortal path.
The void seemed to be illuminated by him.
He gave it his all.
After some time.
Perhaps a day, ten days, or even a month.
Finally, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
He was still looking at the field, but the sun was already setting.
The light of the setting sun fell on his body, making him feel somewhat desolate.
He… had failed.
He did not relax in the slightest, nor did he feel any fear.
In the face of the immortal gate, he had collapsed from exhaustion.
It was too hard.
"Junior Brother?" Suddenly, Xiao Yu's voice rang out.
Jiang Lan looked to the side and found Xiao Yu standing beside him. To his surprise, Xiao Yu seemed to have changed her clothes.
Previously, she was wearing a blue and white outfit. Now, she was wearing an orange and white outfit with white boots and a high ponytail.
"Do you want some?" Xiao Yu took out a peanut and asked. "Boss only gave me one."
Jiang Lan took the peanut and said softly.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
"Boss said that we can go back once we wake up," Xiao Yu explained.
"How long has it been?" Jiang Lan finally asked.
Since Xiao Yu had already changed her clothes, he naturally knew that she must have went back at least once.
"Seven days." Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.
"Many thanks, Senior Sister." Jiang Lan wasn't thanking Xiao Yu for telling him the time.
It was for another matter.
Then, Jiang Lan left to bid farewell to the innkeeper.
Looking at Jiang Lan's back view, Xiao Yu whispered softly.
"Is it that difficult for him to advance?"
It was indeed not that easy to advance to the Essence Soul Realm, but she could feel that the innkeeper's opportunity here was very special.
If she had come here when she advanced to the Essence Soul Realm back then, it would have been very easy.
But…
In the end, Xiao Yu did not say anything and just followed Jiang Lan.
She couldn't understand Jiang Lan.
Under his calm gaze, no one knew what he was thinking.
Lost?
Or disappointment?
Jiang Lan was very calm.
He had failed. However, this was expected.
But he still had hope.
"Looks like I need to make more preparations in the future."
Jiang Lan thought to himself. He had failed in his search for the immortality gate. However, he managed to gain some experience.
Give up?
He would never give up, no matter how difficult it was.
"If I can't obtain the Great Dao's gift that I need after reaching the perfected Void Refinement Realm, I'll have to explore other places in Kunlun."
He had no other choice.
When he bade farewell to the innkeeper, he learned that the youth was about to come out of seclusion.
However, he did not see him. After today, it would be quite a while before he could see the youth again.
This time, after he finished his lessons, he would go into seclusion.
But this time, he bought another bottle of good wine.
Roar!
Jiang Lan, who was walking on the road, suddenly heard a dragon roar, followed by a tremendous pressure.
It was the aura of a dragon.
When he looked up, he saw two huge dragons flying over from the sky.
They were much stronger than Ao Ye from before.
Dragon King?
He wasn't sure.
"Ao Yi of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, Dragon King's younger brother." Xiao Yu's voice sounded beside Jiang Lan.
"I heard it was him.
They're probably here to discuss something important. "
"Senior Sister knows a lot." Jiang Lan lowered his head to look.
He did not understand why Xiao Yu did not return on her sword today.
However, he quickly understood that if she were to fly on her sword, she was just looking for trouble with the Dragon Race.
"It's Junior Brother who knows too little," Xiao Yu said softly as she walked.
"Junior Brother is going into seclusion this time?"
"En, I shall advance to the Essence Soul Realm first." Jiang Lan nodded.
He really needed to advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.
He had failed in finding the gates of immortality using the inn's fortuitous opportunity, but that didn't mean he couldn't advance to the Essence Soul Realm on the surface.
Furthermore, he had actually obtained the fortuitous opportunity. It was just that it seemed that he had failed.
Both Xiao Yu and the innkeeper could tell.
After advancing to the Essence Soul Realm, he had to learn about array formations and the Dragon Slaying Sword. He hoped that it wouldn't take too much time.
"Does Junior Brother usually spend 30 to 50 years in seclusion?"
"Pretty much."
"Aren't you bored?"
"It's not boring."
Just as Jiang Lan was about to reach the Ninth Summit, Xiao Yu handed over a book.
"I'll give this to you as a gift for your guidance at the inn."
Jiang Lan took the book and discovered that it was a detailed insight into the advancement to the Essence Soul Realm.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Although it was useless, he still accepted it.
Guidance depended on one's mood. Xiao Yu's guidance also depended on her mood.
After that, Jiang Lan didn't say anything else and returned to the Ninth Summit.
From now on, he would not leave until he had become an immortal.
Hopefully, no one would bother him.
But there should be.
Today, the Dragon Race had come to Kunlun to discuss about the marriage alliance. Once it was confirmed, he might have to make a trip to the main hall.
This matter affected him greatly.
Seeing Jiang Lan return, Xiao Yu rode her sword towards the Third Summit.
Today, someone from the Dragon Race had come. She wanted to ask about the details.
Also, she wanted to ask about the Dragon Slaying Sword. Her master should be able to clear her doubts.
"Xiao Yu, is the marriage alliance pressuring you so much that you want to commit suicide?"
This was what Zhu Qing had asked Xiao Yu after Xiao Yu had asked her about the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit and handed the wine to his master.
It would probably be quite a while before he bought some good wine for his master again.
There was no need to go to the inn anymore, so there was no need to go out.
"You're going into seclusion?" Mo Zhengdong asked after receiving the wine.
At this moment, Mo Zhengdong was looking at the Kunlun Main Hall. There were people from the Dragon Race there.
The arrival of the Dragon Race this time would bring some changes to Kunlun.
And the center of the change was related to his disciple.
It was impossible for him not to care.
"En, I'm about to enter seclusion." Jiang Lan lowered his head and replied.
Regardless of what had happened at the inn, he still had to advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.
If he was stuck here, his master would probably think of another way for him and make him have a trip out again.
Therefore, he would advance to the Essence Soul Realm in the next few years.
He first went into seclusion to study array formations before setting up some simple array formations.
Then, he cultivated.
"We need to delay your lessons on array formations and the Dragon Slaying Sword." Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and continued.
"People from the Dragon Race are here. The Summit Leaders will need to be present to negotiate with the Dragon Race. This process will take several months."
"Is it about the marriage?" Jiang Lan asked curiously.
He wanted to know more.
"Yes, that's why they are here. Although it is easy to set an engagement, there are many other things involved. Thus, the whole process will take a few months, "Mo Zhengdong explained.
"Martial Aunt of the Fifth Summit has also gone?" Jiang Lan asked curiously.
Since the Fifth Summit Summit Leader was already there. Why was his master still here?
Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and smiled.
"You don't often interact with them, so you naturally don't know much about them. The main person in this discussion with the Dragon Race this time is your Martial Aunt. The Summit Leader of the First Summit and Eighth Summit will be her assistants."
Three Summit Leaders?
Representatives of three domains?
The First Summit's Summit Leader Miao Yue was good at negotiations. It was unknown what the Summit Leader of the First Summit was good at. Was the Summit Leader of the Eighth Summit sent because he could fight well?
Jiang Lan had some guesses.
He really could not see through his Martial Uncle from the First Summit.
However, his impression of him was not good. The last time he had been asked to go to the First Summit by the other party, he had been worried that the other party would take action after rejecting him.
Fortunately, he hadn't.
At least he hadn't noticed.
"Master, is it possible that we can't reach an agreement?" Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask.
If they couldn't come to an agreement, he would be relieved.
"It's almost impossible." Mo Zhengdong looked in the direction of the Kunlun Hall and continued,
"The Dragon Race can't bear the consequences if we can't reach an agreement. The same goes for Kunlun. If that really happens, both sides will suffer. No matter how impulsive the two sides are, they will not allow this discussion to go wrong. "
Jiang Lan nodded.
He was not disappointed.
When he returned to the Netherworld Cave, he began to research and study on array formations.
This research lasted for three days.
Three days later, Jiang Lan set up an array formation outside so that he could better understand the situation outside when he was cultivating.
After reading for a day, he returned to the Netherworld Cave and began to cultivate.
Although the result would be out in a few months, he couldn't just sit and wait.
Time was very precious, especially for those on the path towards immortality.
Ten days later, Jiang Lan discovered that light had appeared in the Kunlun Main Hall. It should be because the representatives of the Dragon Race and the representatives of Kunlun had started their negotiations.
The main topic was the marriage alliance between the Dragon Race and Kunlun.
Jiang Lan didn't know when it would end or how this negotiation would end.
But the general direction should not change.
His engagement with Ao Longyu should be set in stone.
Without paying too much attention, Jiang Lan resumed his normal cultivation pace.
He read books during the day and cultivated at night.
Most of the books he had read recently were regarding array formations.
Although he wanted someone to teach him, he intended to learn those that he could on his own first.
After all, it was rude of him to not master the basics before seeking further studies under an expert.
At that time, it would be a small matter if the Fifth Summit's Summit Leader did not have a good impression of him. The worse scenario was if the Fifth Summit's Summit Leader no longer intended to teach him. If this happened, he would have missed a good opportunity to become better and he would also have wasted his master's favor.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Lan no longer cared about the matters regarding the Heavenly Human Race and the demons.
The array formations in the Ninth Summit had also increased by quite a bit. It was still difficult for him to prevent others from entering, but it should still be possible to detect if anyone had entered.
After all, infiltrators were usually not strong.
Those who were too strong would not bother to sneak in.
Of course, he couldn't underestimate the other party. What if there was someone who wasn't afraid of death?
Boom!
On this day, when Jiang Lan was cleaning the Ninth Summit's hall, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
It came from the Kunlun Main Hall.
He looked up and realized that the light in Kunlun Hall was distorted, as though it was the influence of power.
"Looks like the negotiation didn't go well."
The light had never dimmed. In other words, this negotiation had lasted for nearly a hundred days.
After observing for a while, he realized that the light had returned to normal.
"I wonder if the others know about the main topic of this negotiation."
In Jiang Lan's opinion, the result of this negotiation was going to be made known to everyone.
If the negotiation succeeded, he would stand on the cusp of the storm.
If the negotiation failed, it seemed like he would also be at the forefront of the storm.
However… as long as he did not leave the Ninth Summit, he could hide here for decades.
No one would notice him.
He would go out when the storm was over.
Although he would be mentioned occasionally, it would not have much impact on him.
However, there would be some influence on the Ninth Summit's identity.
Because when the Ninth Summit was mentioned, people would think of the Jade Pool Goddess.
Jiang Lan shook his head and continued reading.
Time to time, he would eat a medicinal pill, which aided in his learning and cultivation.
While Jiang Lan was looking at the Kunlun Main Hall, so were the others.
Jing Ting found Lin Siya and asked curiously.
"Does Junior Sister Lin know what has happened?"
Many people had been speculating these days, but no one knew what was happening.
Lin Siya shook her head and remained silent.
She actually knew, but she couldn't tell him.
This was because the final result was still not out. If she said it now, it would have a great impact on the entirety of Kunlun.
To her Senior Sister, this matter was quite serious.
Jing Ting didn't get an answer.
But they all knew that this matter had something to do with the Goddess.
"Is it because the Dragon Race wants to take away the Goddess and the Summit Leaders of the various summits didn't agree to this which resulted in this negotiation?"
"There is indeed such a possibility, but isn't this situation a little too big? It's been three months, and there's still no result."
"Indeed. I heard that the ones who came were the most influential experts of the Dragon Race."
"We also have three Summit Leaders participating in the negotiations in Kunlun Main Hall. It's obvious that this is an important matter."
"I wonder what will be the results of this negotiation."
"Let's wait for it to end. It might not be long before it ends."
Many people didn't know what was going on, and those who did didn't know what would happen.
Ao Longyu stood beside the Jade Pool. She looked at the Kunlun Main Hall and stared at the light.
The time when this light dimmed would be when her fate would be completely decided.
She did not know what the final outcome would be.
However, she knew that there was a high chance that it would not be different from before.
Looking in the direction of the Ninth Summit, Ao Longyu sat quietly at the edge of the Jade Pool and waited.
She did not cultivate these days.
She was waiting for the final outcome.
Could she accept such an outcome?
In reality, she had already thought it through.
However, she was very curious. Would she even have the time to interact with the Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit after their engagement was set in stone?
She was at the Jade Pool while her Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit was always hiding in the Ninth Summit.
Were they going to see each other once every several decades?
In the end, Ao Longyu stopped thinking about it. Instead, she looked at the light in the Kunlun Hall and waited for it to dim.
She was leaving her future to fate
