Chapter 53

Wu Jinjing and Yellow Prance took a few steps away from Feng Delun.

Spiritual energy gathered around Feng Delun. Tumultuous winds started blowing around the mountain as arrays circled, danced, and appeared in and out of view.

Wu Jinjing had to put up a barrier to cover herself from the gust carrying dust.

Beneath her lashes Wu Jinjing's eyes peered at the array. This array looked overly complicated.

Unlike the golden hued arrays Feng Delun created this array was silvery and cold.

Yellow Prance felt that it was rather cold around them when these arrays started floating in the air.

Weaving golden scratchy lines into the silvery arrays script, Feng Delun was like a seamster. He wasted no time to add and erase parts of the secret realms array.

It was a mesmerizing show.

The center of Feng Delun's forehead creases. "This will take a few days."

The golden lines he had written slowly turned silver. Like it was a part of the secret realm's original array formations. Not added by Feng Delun.

'How annoying.' This secret realm array was like a cannibal. It secretly pretended to be meek and bendable. In the right moment it will strike and eat up the array Feng Delun had added.

The muscles on Feng Delun's constantly moving hands tensed. "Jinjing, inform the others that we will be delayed for a couple of days."

Eyes widened, Wu Jinjing was surprised. This array formation was not ordinary if it took elder brother a couple of days to solve the array formations.

As instructed Wu Jinjing contacted Lai Meihui through the communication token. "Meihui, we will be delayed for a few days."

***

Lai Meihui announced, "Eldest brother, Jinjing informed me that they will only return in a few day's time."

Li Biaya perked up. "That's awfully long for elder brother to solve an array formation."

"It looks like the array is more complicated than elder brother predicted." Lai Meihui said.

Jiang Xiaotong stretched his arms above his head. He made his way to the door.

Jie Qiqiang looked up from the wood he was carving. "Eh, Xiaotong, where are you going to?"

"Huifang isn't back and elder brother too. I'll be out for a walk. I'll see what those villagers are up to." Jiang Xiaotong waved his hand goodbye.

One blue robed man quickly followed Jiang Xiaotong. "I'll go with you Xiaotong!" It was Lan Jianhong.

He couldn't stand staying in the same room as Lai Meihui. Not after what she did to him. Just seeing her sends shivers down his spine. Brrr, she's too crazy!

Jin Liwei noticed how Lan Jianhong would shiver when someone so much as mentioned Lai Meihui name. "What did you do to him this time?" He questioned Lai Meihui who was eating some lotus seeds.

Lai Meihui batted her eyes. "I don't know what you mean Liwei." She was completely innocent.

"Did you have him smash one of his creations again?" Jin Liwei guessed.

It was the only thing that could terrify Lan Jianhong so much. He loved his creations too much to part with it. Destroying his own creation was like stabbing Lan Jianhong himself.

Well facing against the Devil Venerable certainly would terrify Lan Jianhong.

Jin Liwei glanced at the Devil Venerable who was meditating in the room.

He couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that the Devil Venerable would remain in the same room as them for so long. Sure the man was here for the little ancestor.

The baby was hiding inside eldest brother's robe as usual. Jin Liwei spied the tiny bulge on Ming Yongnian's robes.

"Meihui, try not to overdo it." Ming Yongnian spoke.

Lai Meihui pouted, "Yes, eldest brother."

Jiang Xiaotong and Lan Jianhong took to the skies and reached the village. They could already see that there were more people milling around the tiny rundown village.

A little too many people…

Bodies pressed together closely. Pushing against one another. Shouts clamored.There seemed to be a conflict among these mortals.

These crowds had yet to notice Jiang Xiaotong and Lan Jianhong's presence in the sky. The two cultivators had cloaked their presence. They were only planning to observe what was happening within the village.

It seemed they needed to get themselves involved…

"Let us see the Immortals!"

"Please, we came all the way here to see the Immortals. They need to help my child!"

"We are here to thank the Immortals for the rain! What do you mean we can't see them?!"

Standing in front of this enthusiastic slash enraged crowd was the old man who they had questioned.

Sweat was coming down the old man's temple like a cracked dam. "Calm down, please. It is not that we are preventing all of you from meeting the Immortals--"

"That's exactly what you're doing you old man!" A young man shouted. In his hand was a rock, raised high. Before the young man could throw the rock, his hand was gripped.

The young man struggled to free his hand. When his eyes landed on the man who had gripped him he stuttered, "Im-Immortal…?"

The corners of Jiang Xiaotong's mouth were hooked. "Didn't your mother teach you any manners? Oh, of course she didn't, you have none."

Eyes bulging wide, the young man's hand slacked, stone fell from his fingertips. The sound of the rock hitting the ground was deafening in the silence.

From above Lan Jianhong watched the incident. Jiang Xiaotong was like a clean piece of cloth standing in a quagmire. Only him was clean and pristine. Those around him were merely mud.

"What do you think you will accomplish from hurting this old man?" Jiang Xiaotong tilted his head to the oldman. "You couldn't possibly think that by hurting someone you may have the right to confront me?"

"I-I was just--"

"Just what?"

Uh-oh, Jiang Xiaotong was irritated. Lan Jianhong should stop his sworn sibling from killing a helpless mortal.

But… the young man kinda deserved it. So, elder brother won't be mad if he lets Jiang Xiaotong kill the young man, right?

Nevermind, elder brother will definitely kill him. He will stop his sworn sibling after he had enough watching the drama, Lan Jianhong decided and patted himself on the back.
