Chapter 242: Kunlun Is Fearless
The sudden appearance of this gaze and the sudden appearance of this powerful aura made Jiang Lan exceptionally vigilant.
Danger. Terror. He had never seen anything like it.
He wondered how this person would compare to the summit leaders.
Perhaps he would not be able to feel the difference between them. When someone of this level descended with their true body, they could kill him with a snap of their fingers.
At this moment, Jiang Lan truly felt like True Immortals were only cannon fodder.
He put his hand behind his back and was prepared to flee as soon as the other party made any movement.
In theory, he could escape.
It seemed like the other party had only sent a sliver of his strength over.
If he couldn't escape…
Jiang Lan examined the hidden pearl. His master had given it to him.
If all his methods failed, he could only rely on his master.
But that was the last thing he wanted.
At that time, everything would be dangerous for him.
Whether or not Kunlun could tolerate him and whether his master could protect him was uncertain.
His advancement speed was too fast and abnormal.
Jiang Lan himself could understand his own uncontrollable nature.
However, he was still waiting. The other party seemed to only be stopping on the other side. There was no change in his strength, as if he was accumulating strength.
"Does Senior need something?" Jiang Lan asked first.
As long as something was wrong, he would escape.
It would be best if the other party could leave.
Now, he did not dare to be distracted at all. If he was not careful, he would stay here.
"You are a Kunlun disciple?" A loud voice was heard.
Jiang Lan frowned and did not answer the question. He only asked.
"Who is Senior?"
As for whether he was a Kunlun disciple, he didn't want to reply to this question.
Whether he was or not, the other party might not believe him even if he told him.
"Imperial Lord Xi He of the Ancient Imperial West Palace from Kunlun."
A loud voice reached Jiang Lan's ears.
When he heard this name, Jiang Lan was a bit surprised. This didn't seem like a name.
"Is this Senior's name?" he asked.
"Of course not." The loud voice did not explain much and only said casually.
"When your realm is high enough, you will understand what this is."
"Then this junior will take his leave." Jiang Lan didn't ask any more questions. He just wanted to leave.
No matter how much he knew, it was not as good as leaving safely.
Moreover, if he knew too much, he might not be able to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry." A loud voice stopped Jiang Lan.
"You live in Kunlun?"
Jiang Lan didn't reply.
The other party didn't pay much attention to Jiang Lan's silence. Only his voice sounded.
"If you are a spy from an external faction, work hard to become stronger and then find me. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Correspondingly, you have to answer me a question.
But if you are a Kunlun disciple, come to the Kunlun Temple. If you encounter danger within Kunlun, use my name and I can save your life. "
In the next moment, Jiang Lan felt his opponent move. His aura started to retreat. Was he leaving?
"Little fellow, I'll give you one last piece of advice." The loud voice sounded again.
"Do not make Kunlun your enemy. You have unparalleled combat strength, but my Kunlun is unafraid of all enemies across the vast Grand Desolate World."
As the voice faded away, Jiang Lan heard it clearly.
"Many thanks for Senior's advice," Jiang Lan said respectfully.
He only heaved a heavy sigh of relief when the aura fully disappeared.
However, before he could even finish heaving a sigh of relief, he vanished on the spot and fled elsewhere.
He would take a detour before returning to the Ninth Summit.
The injury on his arm was still alright, but there were injuries on his body as well.
He needed to recover as soon as possible.
At the very least, he had to fully recover before his master returned.
It was not a big problem. He had many elixirs that were good enough.
However, the Ba Country's matter should have come to an end.
At the very least, it was impossible for the otherworldly soldiers to appear.
As for the Jade Pool's problem, he would have to wait until he returned to find out.
There was no time to check now.
…
Jiang Lan fled while Lu Jian and the others were still fighting. They didn't know that an expert had descended.
They were currently at a disadvantage.
However, as they continued fighting, the other party seemed to have withered.
After some time, they finally managed to control the python.
However, the python was lying on the ground without any vitality.
"Something doesn't feel right." Lu Jian stood in front of the python and frowned.
"It lacks some spirituality," said Hong Luan.
Bei Fang came to the python's side and stirred it, finding it stiff.
The pitch-black python had already become a pitch-black stone pillar.
What was going on?
"Regardless, let's send it back first," Lin An said.
As for that mysterious person, he had long left their perception, unknown where he went.
They could not be sure if he was dead or alive.
However, the strength of that person was firmly engraved in their minds.
He was really amazing.
They wondered which summit he was from.
Those who frequented Kunlun, whether they were Kunlun disciples or not, must be hiding on a certain summit.
…
High in the sky, the Ba Country's ghost qi looked dejected.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll slip away. I will go fight with the demons. It's no fun playing with you humans.
We've already agreed on this game. The stones have not even been laid out, yet the chessboard is already gone."
As his voice fell, the ghost qi of Ba Country surged.
Liu Jing and the others stood where they were and began to spread their powers.
It was as if he was trying to stop the ghost qi from leaving.
"What do you guys want?" The Ba Country's ghost qi was furious.
"Don't tell me you think I want to escape? What a joke. I, Feng Chunpu, am simple and honest. I can still afford to play. A loss was a loss, the ghost qi would naturally remain here.
Don't think that we are magnanimous. It's you humans who are despicable and shameless. Do you all think that I'm stupid enough not to resist?"
Jiu Zhongtian drank his wine and was momentarily surprised.
"Not really. I feel like there are smart people in Ba Country too."
"Humans." Ba Guoguo was touched.
"You are the most open-minded and intelligent human I have ever seen. You people have a discerning eye. Only Kunlun is honest and sincere. You guys dare to love and hate."
Subsequently, the Ba Country's ghost qi looked at everyone and said.
"Hmph, we will return next time after we take down the demons. It will be the beginning of a calamity for Kunlun."
With that, the ghostly face disappeared.
The connection with the mastermind was broken.
This was the uniqueness of Ba Country.
Killing them was actually very troublesome.
"Looks like it's over." Liu Jing put away the Ba Country's ghost qi and said.
"Go and ask what happened down there. Someone should have made a move just now," said Jiu Zhongtian.
Then, the four of them disappeared into the sky.
This time, the Ba Country had brought a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, the other party was simple-minded and did not invade en masse.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live in peace for decades.
Soon, the four of them landed in the Kunlun Main Hall.
There were already people waiting here.
"Ba Country has already retreated, but we can't let our guard down. Ghostland Ba Country's behavior is different from normal people, and their losses are not that important to them."
Liu Jing landed on the ground and said to the First Summit Leader and the Third Summit Leader.
"Senior Sister Chen Xi is already divining this matter. The problem with the Jade Pool should be gone as well. Regarding what to do in the future, we will have to wait for news from Senior Sister Chen Xi." Zhuqing said.
After Liu Jing and the others nodded, Feng Yixiao then said.
"Something interesting happened just now."
Chapter 243: Should We Capture The Mysterious Person?
At dawn.
Soon, Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit.
He returned very quickly, but coincidentally, the sky was about to brighten.
Instead of staying in the courtyard, he headed towards the Netherworld Cave.
He needed to heal.
The injury on his arm had mostly recovered, and the broken bone had recovered.
Fortunately, it was not serious. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy.
This time, he had experienced a battle between two great powers. He realized that being a True Immortal was still quite useless.
As expected, he should hide in the Ninth Summit and become stronger as soon as possible.
But…
"Imperial Lord Xi He of the Ancient Imperial West Palace from Kunlun, what is this?"
"A deity position?"
"Or a title?"
Be it the books of the Ninth Summit or the Kunlun Library, he had never seen such a title.
When he had time, he could go and read some ancient books regarding such matters.
Furthermore, that person said that he could save his life in once Kunlun if he were to just mention his name.
Jiang Lan wasn't that naive. What the other party said might not necessarily be the truth.
But he couldn't deny it either.
If it was true, would the other party be able to sense it the moment he said the other party's name?
If that was the case, it would be very dangerous.
Was the One Leaf Vision effective against it?
If it worked, would the other party be unable to hear his call for help?
If it was ineffective, then once he said it, he would be discovered and his identity would be known.
Jiang Lan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. No matter how one looked at it, one thing was certain.
The other party was very strong.
And he had a special ability.
Furthermore, he was from Kunlun.
As for the Kunlun Temple that the other party mentioned…
He had no intention of going there. Even though he was a Kunlun disciple, he could not go there rashly.
He knew about the Kunlun Temple, but he did not know its location.
In short, he couldn't do something just because of a few words.
It could just be a trap.
As for the advice, he didn't care much about it.
From his current position, it was impossible for him to make an enemy out of Kunlun.
But if one day he really became an enemy of Kunlun, no matter who the enemy was, it was impossible to change his mind.
After that, Jiang Lan began to focus on healing his injuries. Everything else could wait until he was fully healed.
Before he closed his eyes to recuperate, Jiang Lan glanced at the Goddess Diagram and discovered that a white dragon was coiled around the lake. He didn't know what it was doing.
The black qi in the Jade Pool had also disappeared.
It seemed like it was indeed a matter of life and death.
After confirming this, Jiang Lan didn't think too much about it.
He would recover first.
…
…
"Open the Kunlun Temple and let the personal disciples enter?"
Liu Jing was curious.
The opening of the Kunlun Temple was a very troublesome matter. As for the benefits, there were actually not that many.
It was not worth it.
"Can the Kunlun Temple really lure out that person?" Jiu Zhongtian asked curiously.
"Probably not." Miao Yue shook her head, sitting on a high chair at the side, saying.
"That person is indeed in Kunlun, but no one knows anything else. If Senior Brother was not wrong, then even if he could see through the other party's disguise, everything he would obtain would be empty.
This person hid himself very well. Furthermore, he must have had a fortuitous opportunity. The other party should be very vigilant against the opening of the Kunlun Temple. However, if the other party is a personal disciple, he would be quite interested in the Kunlun Temple.
It can more or less help him in his cultivation. This is enough. And…"
After a pause, Miao Yue added.
"Imperial Lord Xi He of the Ancient Imperial West Palace from Kunlun. This title is rarely recorded even across the entire Grand Desolate World.
If he is curious, he will definitely start searching for books on such topics. When the time comes, we can narrow down the target list."
"Must we find him?" Zhu Qing frowned.
"What if the other party likes it like that? Even a child would rebel if he can't keep all his secrets."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing :"…"
She was the youngest and could feel this feeling the most.
Of her two Senior Sisters, one could predict the future and the other was smart.
She was always at a disadvantage.
Any secret of hers would be easily discovered.
"It makes sense, but we cannot know his true stance." Miao Yue thought for a while before saying.
"From the looks of it, this person is harmless to Kunlun. Thus, we should remain kind to him."
"However, we need to still be on our guard." Feng Yixiao said calmly. "If we discover that he made a small mistake, we will not care much about it."
"As long as he doesn't make an enemy out of us, we can tolerate him," Jiu Zhongtian said while drinking.
"Right," Mo Zhengdong suddenly said.
"It will take about ten years for the Kunlun Temple to open, right?"
"Ba Country's actions have brought us a lot of trouble. Perhaps it will take a little longer, about twenty years," Liu Jing said.
He looked at Mo Zhengdong to see what he wanted to say.
Under normal circumstances, Mo Zhengdong would remain silent.
"Let's postpone it for another ten years or so," Mo Zhengdong suddenly said.
This surprised the others.
Miao Yue thought of something and tried asking.
"Could it be that Senior Brother is worried that Jiang Lan might be unable to progress to the Void Refinement Realm within the next thirty years and hence wants to use this as an opportunity for him to search for new fortuitous opportunities in the Kunlun Temple?"
Mo Zhengdong remained silent.
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then, Liu Jing said calmly.
"Then let's push it to thirty years from now."
"We have to inform them in advance so that the person can consider it," First Summit's Feng Yixiao.
There were a lot of little tails in these matters.
…
Ghostland Ba Nation.
It was cloudy all year round.
It was a rare sunny day.
There was some empty space in front of the house. Wood was piled up in the empty space.
At this moment, a green-faced youth was sitting on the wood.
He grabbed the small wooden tablet with one hand and used a small knife to carve something on it.
He looked very serious.
After a long time, the young man put down the knife in his hand in satisfaction and blew the wood shavings on the wooden sign.
He looked at the wooden tablet with a pious expression.
"Qing Mu, what are you doing?"
A woman walked out and asked the youth.
"Look." Qing Mu showed the wooden tablet to his mother.
The woman glanced at the wooden tablet and saw that there was a person engraved on it. She couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but the person was maintaining his punching posture with extraordinary might.
"This is?" The woman didn't understand.
"Fist God," Qing Mu said excitedly.
"I heard from the person who stepped into the Ghost Gate that the gate was shattered by this Fist God.
Not only did this person shatter the Ghost Gate with a single punch, but he also shattered 500 ghost cultivators with a single punch. He is extremely mighty and is regarded as the Unparalleled Fist God. In the future, I will worship the Fist God.
If he is still alive, I would ask him to protect me and kill countless enemies. If he dies, I hope that he can go in peace. I will inherit his Fist God title. My name shall shake the vast world."
The young man was excited as if countless souls had died under his fist.
It was as if he was standing atop the crowd.
A fist could bring him endless courage.
The woman only took a glance and did not comment on Fist God. She only said softly.
"Time to eat. You even have to bring food for your father."
"Huh?" Qing Mu regained his senses. He hung the small wooden sign around his neck and immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll bring food to Daddy now."
…
Xiao Yu was surprised to see Jiang Lan suddenly appear.
"Junior Brother isn't outside at this time. Shouldn't you be in seclusion?"
"There's feedback from the array formation in the courtyard. I knew that someone has come." Jiang Lan came to the rock garden and stood at the spot where he could see Xiao Yu.Just a little resistance.
And… Xiao Yu looked down.
She realized that there was really nothing to see.
Then, Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan's chest. They were pretty similar.
"How much is the gap?" Jiang Lan thought for a moment.
"One or two realms."
Xiao Yu was currently at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, while he was only at the early-stage True Immortal Realm. There were indeed only two major realms between them.
Furthermore, Xiao Yu advanced very quickly. She would become an immortal in about 150 years.
After a hundred and fifty years, Jiang Lan should still be working hard on his way to becoming a Heaven Immortal.
Their gap would be even smaller then.
Xiao Yu calculated. There was a difference of one or two realms.
Then was her Junior Brother about to reach the early-stage Void Refinement Realm?
A human prodigy could reach the early-stage Void Refinement Realm in three hundred years, so it would probably take him another twenty to thirty years.
He had almost caught up.
Her Junior Brother was very powerful.
"Senior Sister, are you going out to face your tribulation or are you going to do it in Kunlun?" Jiang Lan suddenly asked.
He thought about how he should choose to transcend his tribulation.
He naturally could not stay in Kunlun.
Was he going out alone or would there be someone looking after him?
This was very important to him.
"Kunlun is such a big place. We can directly transcend the tribulation here. However, some of the Senior Brothers and Sisters would go out and find a place to comprehend the great gate of immortality themselves.
Most of them would bring their fellow disciples along. This way, others could vouch if one had transcended the tribulation. However, some of them go out to face tribulation alone.
If they return, it means that they had succeeded. If they do not return, it means that they had failed." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said.
"I'm the Kunlun Goddess. I shouldn't be able to go out and transcend the tribulation. What about Junior Brother?"
