Chapter 57

After this exploration, Ji Tang was stunned.

All the magic weapons in the storage bag were gone. She hadn't left any money from the mortal world or spiritual stones from the cultivation world. Only some bottles and jars remained. These were all made by Jitang himself. There were no names of elixirs on them. Perhaps they didn't know the effects of these elixirs, so they were not looted.

The wooden box containing Yan Chuiying was at the bottom among all the bottles and jars, which finally warmed Ji Tang's cold heart a little.

She took her medicine while listening to the sounds outside.

Two people approached, one in front and one behind, and with a dull sound of something falling to the ground, the long chair was pulled open.

One of them said, "Brother Zou is really something. If you provoke this person, you can just kill him. Why do you have to wait until he wakes up before torturing him? Isn't this unnecessary?"

The other man snorted and laughed, "Senior Brother Zou has always been like this. Have you ever seen anyone who made him unhappy die happily?"

"What tongue twisters? Talking to you is just tiring."

"Hey, you were the one who spoke to me first!"

The person who spoke first: "But in the end, aren't we the ones who are tired? It's okay for that little girl, she was easy to move, but this one is hard. He doesn't look fat, how can he be so overwhelming!"

"I told you to work on your physique more often, but you're just lazy and eat all day. And how long has this garbage been sitting on the table? You don't even bother throwing it away."

"Why don't you throw it away?"

"Why would I throw it away if I didn't eat it?"

The two of them started bickering again after just a few words. Ji Tang heard from their conversation that they were bringing someone in. She wanted to see if the person who fainted outside was her senior brother, but the drug had not yet taken effect, so she couldn't act rashly.

"Senior Brother Zou is so lucky. He had two elders protecting him when he came to participate in the Frost Competition. But this time, Senior Brother Zou is in trouble. I heard that when he got into trouble, the two elders happened to be visiting the Young City Lord of Dengtian City and were not at the inn. That's when Senior Brother Zou was beaten up!"

"If you were the sect leader's only son, you would also be treated this way."

"Will you please speak properly? You always stab me when I speak. I really can't have a conversation with you!"

Ji Tang couldn't help rolling her eyes. If the nightmare aura hadn't recovered yet, she would have wanted to go out and make them shut up one by one.

Just as I was thinking this, the sound of wood breaking was heard outside.

The two bickering disciples were terrified. From the sound, it seemed as if they were hit on the wooden frame. Their cries of pain mixed with the sound of the collapsed wooden frame.

From this angle, Jitang could just see half of the two disciples' bodies lying on the ground.

Then she heard someone outside say, "Where is that little girl?"

Although she was already a 'little girl' over a hundred years old, her eyes suddenly lit up and she ran out of the corridor.

“Senior Brother!”

The person who spoke was Jitang's dear senior brother Su Jinzhou.

Su Jinzhou didn't expect Ji Tang to suddenly appear, and his face was full of surprise. "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm just trapped in a nightmare." Ji Tang patted his storage bag. "I've already taken the elixir, and I'll be fine in a while."

The person who sealed her nightmare didn't seem to care much and only used the method of acupuncture. She only needed to take the pill and wait for the effect of the medicine to take effect and she would recover.

If she were to use her spiritual power to directly seal her nightmare aura, her elixirs would be useless as long as there was a huge gap in their cultivation levels.

The two disciples fell to the ground and cried in pain. Su Jinzhou immediately used a silencing spell on each of them.

Ji Tang looked towards the corridor ahead, "What's going on outside? Will anyone come in?"

Su Jinzhou said in a gentle voice, "This is at the foot of the Snowy Frost Ridge. I didn't see anyone else when I was brought in. Don't worry."

His gentle voice calmed Jitang's nervous mood.

Ji Tang: "Their target is you. Blame me for taking them too lightly!"

Su Jinzhou looked at her forehead.

Ji Tang subconsciously covered his forehead, "What for?"

Su Jinzhou: "You really should use your brain to think more, and stop being so self-righteous without knowing the real situation."

“…” Jitang knew he was in the wrong, so he pouted and said nothing.

A smile flashed in Su Jinzhou's eyes, and he lifted the silence spell on one of his disciples.

The man just opened his mouth and let out a series of wails.

Jitang kicked the man to the ground, "Try to scream again?!"

The disciples quickly fell silent and huddled together.

Su Jinzhou coughed and Ji Tang gave up his seat.

He asked, "I have a secret passage under the Snowy Frost Ridge. Does the City of Ascension know about it?"

The disciple shrank back and said, "This is not our secret passage. It was built by the villagers nearby to store game and vegetables. There are many such places here, and the young master just rented it casually."

Su Jinzhou: "I haven't seen you two in the inn."

"How could we possibly be qualified to stay in the same inn with the Young Master? The Frost Competition is just around the corner, and all the good inns have been booked out long ago. We, the accompanying disciples who are not participating in the competition, are staying in inns on the edge of the city."

So the inn they are staying in now is quite good in Dengtian City, and this is all thanks to Elder Qin.

"Who brought me here?" Ji Tang squatted in front of the disciple, "Is it one of your elders?"

The person who could subdue her with one blow was definitely not a disciple.

The other party nodded, "Yes, Elder."

"Since your Young Sect Master's target is my senior brother, why don't you kill me right here? Instead, why do you bring me here? What's the difference between freezing to death and killing me?"

The disciple's lips moved for a while.

Ji Tang: "If you don't tell me, I'll kill you right now!"

Another disciple lying on the ground tried desperately to signal, but Su Jinzhou lifted the silence spell and spoke first, "I'll tell you! The Young Sect Master doesn't want to kill you. He has other plans!"

"What arrangements?"

"It's...it's...our young master...likes girls who look like you."

The words were cryptic, but Ji Tang understood. Before she could make a move, the other party was knocked away by Su Jinzhou's spiritual power.

The disciple bumped into the wall and then fell into a pile of broken wooden frames, and was speechless for a long time.

Su Jinzhou's face was extremely cold, "So your young master wants to torture me here, and also..." He glanced at Ji Tang who was squatting on the ground. From his perspective, Ji Tang was very small, and the ends of his long hair were about to fall to the ground.

He pulled Jitang up and brushed the dust off her hair. "Will those two elders also come with your Young Sect Master?"

"We don't know this either..."

Su Jinzhou whispered, "We can't stay here any longer."

Jitang nodded and kicked his disciple again, "Where are the things you took from my storage bag?"

The disciple tremblingly took out all of Jitang's things from the storage bag on his waist.

Ji Tang sneered, snatched the disciple's storage bag, and took the storage bag from another disciple's waist.

"I'll pay you back with interest. Forget about you taking my things. Brother, these two are accomplices of the evil, let them wake up."

Su Jinzhou knocked the two men unconscious, and Ji Tang showed the way and put the two disciples directly into the stone cave where she had stayed.

Ji Tang: "They know where the exit is. They can crawl out by themselves when they wake up."

After dealing with the two disciples, they left along the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there was only a dilapidated wooden door as a cover, which creaked in the cold wind.

Pushing open the wooden door, the snow-covered sky and earth come into view.

The sky was getting light, and there was still light snow. The ground was not covered with snow, but it became muddy because of the snow, which immediately pulled Jitang back to the island where the inheritance was located.

It’s just that the sun is warm and the wind is gentle in the land of inheritance, but when the snow falls, the frost returns and the north wind blows fiercely.

Jitang had been frozen for a long time, and now the cold wind blew on him, causing him to sneeze several times in a row.

She covered her face and sniffed, goose bumps covering her body uncontrollably.

The cold wind suddenly stopped, Ji Tang raised his head, and saw that his body was surrounded by a layer of spiritual power.

She smiled: "Thank you, brother."

Su Jinzhou: "Has the nightmare energy not recovered yet?"

Ji Tang felt it and found that the sealed acupoints in his body showed signs of loosening. "It should be soon."

Su Jinzhou took her on the flying sword and said, "Let's go back first."

Ji Tang: "Brother, when I was chasing that young sect leader, were you still at the inn?"

Su Jinzhou: "Yes, I was just about to reach your room when you chased me out the window. There was another person in the room."

"There's someone else?" Ji Tang was stunned. "Who is it?"

Su Jinzhou: "That man has a high level of cultivation. He must be the other elder who came with the young sect master this time. I can't withstand a few moves from him. Rather than resisting head-on, it's better to wait and see."

Ji Tang laughed and said, "So, Senior Brother, you pretended to faint?"

Su Jinzhou's voice was also filled with a smile. "Isn't that why I see you? Now that I think about it, the elder might have seen that I was pretending to be unconscious, but his goal was to take me to the foot of the mountain. As long as I don't resist, it doesn't matter whether I'm unconscious or not."

They went straight to the inn, and found that their fellow brothers and sisters were not there.

Xu Zhengye was delighted to see them, "You're back!"

Ji Tang stepped forward: "Senior, where are Elder Qin and the others?"

"They're all upstairs, hurry up, they're all worried sick!"

The two of them turned and went upstairs to the room where Elder Qin lived. She knocked on the door and someone answered from inside.

"Who is it?"

Ji Tang recognized the voice, "Senior Sister Jin Zhi, it's me, Ji Tang!"

The door opened quickly, and before Jitang could say anything, he was pulled in by Xun Jinzhi.

Jitang was touched all over by her, and Su Jinzhou also came in and closed the door.

Elder Qin's room is very big, and the guest hall alone can accommodate all the disciples of Suxuan Sect.

Seeing that the two men were in a state of disarray and had no obvious injuries, Elder Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "Where have you two been? You haven't been seen since early this morning," he said, looking at Ji Tang. "Jin Zhi went to your room and saw it was a mess. What happened?"

Ji Tang: "That should have been caused by the fight between my senior brother and Elder Ben Luomen." She turned around and saw Su Jinzhou coming up and taking over the conversation.

She didn't need to say anything, Ji Tang was happy to be free. She sat next to Xun Jinzhi, holding the hot tea handed to her by her senior sister. The heat gradually spread through her palms and spread throughout her body. She let out a long sigh and relaxed her body.

After listening to Su Jinzhou's words, Elder Qin said with a serious expression, "It's because those two elders didn't take you little brats seriously that you found the opportunity to escape. If only that little sect leader hadn't been a little more perverted..."

Jitang looked at him dully.

Elder Qin: "Well, if those two elders really want to kill you, you won't be able to come back now!"

Jitang always has a good attitude when admitting his mistakes. She nodded obediently and admitted her mistake sincerely.

Elder Qin: "But they hurt my sect's disciples, and I must get back at them!"

Ji Tang: "I have to get it back too!"

Elder Qin glared at him and said, "What are you looking for?"

Ji Tang shrank his neck, but he didn't show any sign of weakness. "I got it back at the Frost Competition. I beat all the participating disciples of Ben Luomen back to Frost Ridge!"

Elder Qin snorted, "Just don't go looking for Elder Luomen headfirst."

Ji Tang touched his forehead and said, "Don't worry, I'm soft!"
