Chapter 37 Return to Jueshui
"it is finally over."
Jiang Yi, who was fleeing frantically, stopped and looked back in the direction of Jueshui City. This trip down the mountain also made him more mature.
In fact, when it comes to his understanding of reality, he is not much better than Jiang Miaomiao. He has always been hiding in his own imaginary world. It's just that he is not as naive as Jiang Miaomiao. The experience of tens of millions of people dying in just one or two days, this kind of cruelty cannot be experienced from books.
"Big brother!"
"It's safe now. We'll be able to return to Shuangta Mountain soon."
"But, everyone...even Deputy Palace Master Lan..." Perhaps it was because she heard Jiang Yi say that they were safe that Jiang Miaomiao, who had been enduring fear, finally burst into tears. This experience was too cruel for her.
Jiang Yi did not try to comfort his sister. It was meaningless because she had to grow up eventually.
Pei Hongyu remained silent on the side. She knew very well that she was able to survive this time entirely because of Jiang Miaomiao. She protected Jiang Miaomiao, but how could it not be a kind of protection for herself!
At this time, Lin Xiao finally caught up.
"Senior Brother Lin, please accept my condolences!" Jiang Yi handed Lan Qushang's body to him. Although it was because of his father, this master and disciple couple did take good care of him. In the end, if it weren't for Lan Qushang, he would not have been able to collect enough merit to exchange for the Dinghai Divine Pearl, and they, the brother and sister, would have died in Jueshui City.
So, he was very grateful to Lan Qushang, but the person was already dead.
"You..." Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Yi. He really wanted to ask Jiang Yi why he didn't use his backup plan earlier. If he had used it a quarter of an hour earlier, maybe his master would not have died.
But reason told him that the reason behind this might very well be the secret of the Jiang family. After all, Jiang Yi and his sister were trapped in it and could die at any time. It would be impossible not to use Jiang Yi as soon as possible.
After all, it was Jiang Yi who saved his life in the end. What right did he have to question him?
"I tried my best." Jiang Yi knew very well what Lin Xiao wanted to ask, but he couldn't answer.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao sighed. It would be redundant to say anything now. At least he was still alive. As long as he was alive, there was hope for revenge.
Lin Xiao cut down a few ancient trees around him, hoping to temporarily conceal his master's body. Seeing this, Jiang Yi used the materials to refine a simple coffin. It did not have any special effects, it was just a simple shaping.
"Thank you."
"Junior brother Jiang, what should we do now?" After Lin Xiao collected Lan Qushang's body, Pei Hongyu looked at Jiang Yi. After so many things happened, this junior brother who was supposed to be taken care of by them became her backbone. His status in her heart was even higher than that of her senior brother Lin Xiao in the same hall.
"Reject Water City. I believe the troops from various forces will arrive soon. We can borrow the flying boat to return to Shuangta Mountain then."
Jiang Yi thought about it. They were not familiar with the Southern Region, and it was difficult to find a flying boat of sufficient level in ordinary cities. If they flew by themselves, they would not be able to get there in two years.
The formation has been broken, and Lu Changge cannot continue to stay in Jueshui City. It is safe for them to return to Jueshui City now.
Such a big thing, a deputy hall master of Mengshen Sect has died, the forces in the Southern Region will definitely notify Mengshen Sect. At that time, whether they borrow the flying boats of the four sects or wait for people from Mengshen Sect to pick them up, it will be much better than them flying around in the Southern Region.
Lin Xiao did not object. His original plan was to go to the Shanhai battlefield after the trip to Jueshui City, but now, he had to send his master back to Mengshen Sect for burial and make other plans later.
There is no need to be so anxious to turn back. Jiang Yi was seriously injured when he was used as bait. Fortunately, he got an extra disposable protective weapon from Lao Jiang before going down the mountain, otherwise he would be in great danger this time.
When they approached Jueshui City, a terrifying pressure fell on them, and this pressure even enveloped the entire Jueshui City.
So strong! At this time, everyone finally saw that there was no Jueshui City anymore, only a ruin.
"Who is Jiang Yi from the Mengshen Sect?" A low voice reached everyone's ears.
"Junior Jiang Yi, I wonder which sect this senior is from?"
Asking himself directly, Jiang Yi immediately understood that some of the cannon fodder he had instigated before must have escaped with him and have already betrayed him.
The next moment, the four of them appeared on a cloud directly above the ruins of Jueshui City, facing the sunset. There were dozens of people standing around, some of whom Jiang Yi was familiar with, such as Pang Tianyun and Meng Laocai, but many of them were new to him, and there were also a few blurry figures among them.
"I am Cao Lang, the master of the Moon Temple of the Three Saints Sect."
The voice was exactly that of the person who had been asking questions before. He was as handsome as jade, and intimidating without even getting angry. Standing there he was like a mountain.
"Greetings, Palace Master Cao." The four of them greeted him one after another. Even though they were far away in Shuangta Mountain, they had heard of this man's name. He was a powerful being in the Immortal Realm.
"No need to be polite. We already have a general understanding of what happened in Jueshui City. We have also sent a message to Mengshen Sect. Now I will ask you some routine questions."
"You broke the Blood River Sword Formation?" Cao Lang's tone did not fluctuate at all, as if it was really a routine matter.
"Yes!" Jiang Yi couldn't deny this, as there were many people present.
"With your strength, you shouldn't have such ability, right?" Cao Lang's eyes fell on Jiang Yi, and there were more people watching in secret.
They could all see through the magic weapon that concealed Jiang Yi's aura, and could also discover that his aura was very different from that of a warrior. That was why Cao Lang asked this question.
After all, the alien spies had just made a big news, so many issues had to be handled with caution.
"This is the life-saving method my father gave to the younger generation." Jiang Yi could only let Old Jiang take the blame.
"Jiang Mingde..."
To people like them, Jiang Yi's identity was very sensitive. If it was just Jiang Mingde, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, he was just a Melting God Warrior. But Jiang Mingde was the master of the North Tower of the Mengshen Sect, and the North Tower was the place of inheritance. This was more troublesome than the sect master's line.
Obviously no one believed Jiang Yi's words, but they couldn't force someone with such a sensitive identity. This kid must have a secret, but they were afraid it was related to the core secret of the Mengshen Sect, so even if the other party gave a seemingly ridiculous excuse, they could only accept it.
"Eleven people survived in the entire Jueshui City, four of whom were from your Mengshen Sect. The Southern Region is not peaceful right now, so for your safety, wait until the person in charge of your sect arrives, and then you can go back together."
They didn't want to cause misunderstanding from the Mengshen Sect, so they just wanted to make sure that there was no problem with the boy's identity. If they couldn't be sure, they would wait for the Mengshen Sect to come and pick him up in person.
A Lu Changge had just appeared in the Southern Region, and they were very wary of people with strange auras.
Jiang Yi felt relieved that he had finally dealt with it. It would be better to wait for the people from the sect to come. He was also afraid that he would be killed halfway if he borrowed the flying boat.
But there are only eleven people alive in the entire Jueshui City!
It looked like Lu Changge hadn’t caught him either.
