Chapter 16

It was dark after the rain, but fortunately, the flower rain did not last long.

Before the rain stopped, Jiang Wan followed Bai Qingqing and others back to the small courtyard where Tu Changxing had been staying for the past few days.

The sky is still blue as petals rain down. Such a beautiful scene would be fine if it were just scenery, but it is strong evidence that there is something different about Yongshu Township.

"This is Rao Zhiyi, the disciple from Yunci Peak who first sought help from Lanri Pavilion." You Sheng introduced him to Jiang Wan and the others.

The man named Rao Zhiyi was wearing a dark blue robe and his waist was covered with a circle of strange-shaped talismans. He was obviously a formation cultivator who practiced formation techniques.

"I'm sorry. It was my misjudgment that caused several of my fellow disciples to fall into this dangerous situation." Seeing that the two new disciples had low cultivation levels, Rao Zhiyi's face showed even deeper regret, and he even forgot to ask their names.

Jiang Wan didn't think it was Rao Zhiyi's fault. She could only say that everyone who came to Yongshu Township had their own misfortunes.

The first one to receive the rescue mission was unlucky guy No. 1 You Sheng, followed by unlucky guy No. 2 Chu Yingluo who accepted the mission without knowing the situation, and finally unlucky guy No. 3 Tu Changxing Bai Qingqing who didn't even accept the mission but just came to check the situation.

Jiang Wan was just about to introduce herself when she heard You Sheng, who had just been like a puppet, come over happily and speak.

"Oh yes, Junior Brother Rao, you haven't been back for a few months, so you don't know. This is Junior Sister Jiang Wan. She is a natural swordsman with a sword bone, and she is also the future Junior Sister of our Song Ding Peak." You Sheng first looked at Rao Zhiyi, then turned to Jiang Wan and said happily, "Junior Sister Jiang, I am your Senior Brother You Sheng. It was me who registered you on the day you entered the sect!"

"Junior Sister Jiang Wan, Junior Brother Lin, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Chu Yingluo from Xiancangfeng." Chu Yingluo smiled at the two of them in a friendly manner and bowed.

She didn't know how to address Lin Xubai, this disciple without a formal title, but thinking of the special circumstances of this entrance trial, she thought that both she and the other party were Xian Cangfeng, so she finally addressed him as Junior Brother.

Obviously, except for Rao Zhiyi who was no longer in the sect, both You Sheng and Chu Yingluo knew Jiang Wan.

After all, Jiang Wan was a strange man who caused a sensation in the entire sect on the first day he joined. From the first day Jiang Wan joined the sect, all the disciples in Guiyuan Sect were curious and pretended to meet him by chance, running to Chengye Hall to take a look at this new sword genius.

This is Jiang Wan, who became a top star overnight in Guiyuan Sect.

Everyone knows Guiyuan Sect.

Song Ding Peak is a rare and promising sword cultivator in a century, completely absorbed in love. One must know that when discussing sword cultivation, the ruthless path is inescapable, and countless people are secretly placing bets on her path. Her desire to switch to a talisman cultivation for love has particularly piqued the interest of many in Jiang Wan's romantic life.

Who could have imagined that one day, the talisman cultivator and the sword cultivator, who had nothing in common at all, would be competing for the seedling.

Unfortunately, the rules for accepting disciples were changed this time. Otherwise, with Jiang Wan's unique talent, he would have been accepted as a disciple by Xie Jianzun of Songding Peak long ago.

However, even if Xie Jianzun didn't say it, many disciples who had a close relationship with their master knew how much the sect elders valued this person who was born with sword bones.

Think about Elder Xiong who stands guard outside Chengye Hall whenever he has time, the head monk who occasionally comes with a whisk to check on the situation, and the elders who have been in seclusion for many years and always come to chat with the teaching elders.

That is to say, Xie Jianzun was devoted to swordsmanship and never went out, but he followed the rules and obeyed the orders. His disciples were either in seclusion or training outside, so he did not take special care of Jiang Wan and register him under his name.

However, despite this, the disciples in the sect will inevitably take care of him while watching the fun.

In particular, everyone tacitly only mentioned Jiang Wan's natural sword bones, but kept silent about her qualifications of the five spiritual roots.

Ever since Jiang Wan entered the sect, her spiritual roots have been ignored as much as possible and not mentioned at all.

Naturally, Jiang Wan's name became more and more famous internally.

It's just like Rao Zhiyi, a disciple who has been trapped in an isolated place for several months and doesn't know Jiang Wan's name.

"Junior Brother Tu must have told you that everyone here must act out a story. Communication jade talismans and other means of communicating with the outside world cannot be used in Yongshu Township. Fortunately, we have plenty of fasting pills, even if nothing else. However, I must remind you that you must not reveal your identity as a sect disciple in Yongshu Township."

As Yousheng spoke, his voice unconsciously lowered. Even though he knew that a barrier had been set up and this was a safe place they had found themselves, Yousheng still subconsciously looked around.

"Could it be because of the disciples of Tianyu Palace?" Lin Xubai pondered, tapping his chin with the fan in his hand. "I heard that the eldest brother had some entanglements with the disciples of the Demon Sect."

entanglement?

Jiang Wan's brows twitched, and his round black eyes turned silently. Could it be that he had abandoned the victim after having an affair with her, and now he just happened to run into the victim.

Those disciples of the Demon Sect seemed to be quite powerful. If they really fought, they would not have the advantage.

With new and old grudges, I am now trapped here and cannot escape even if I want to.

After hearing what Lin Xubai said, You Sheng's face looked a little unnatural.

"There are quite a few demon sect disciples in Yongshu Township. Their cultivation is quite impressive, at least they've reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid my Golden Core stage cultivation won't be enough to protect you. As for those Tianyu Palace disciples, they learned a few years ago that our eldest brother was practicing the Way of Mercilessness and set their sights on him. They tried every trick in the book to get close to him, but their advances were unsuccessful. In the end, he outmaneuvered them, and we've been enemies ever since."

Bai Qingqing: "I know that. At that time, the Young Palace Master of Tianyu Palace threatened to capture Senior Brother Xu. Several Flower Masters took turns to fight, but it was futile. In the end, half of the twelve Flower Masters were killed by Senior Brother Xu. As a result, Tianyu Palace lost face in the eyes of the Demon Sect. Even now, Senior Brother Xu's name is still ranked first on the Tianyu Palace Flower Drum Order's wanted list."

"In short, we should hide as much as possible while trapped in Yongshu Township, and never reveal our identity as disciples of Guiyuan Sect." Tu Changxing said solemnly, especially the identity of Song Dingfeng's disciples, which would add insult to injury.

"I'm afraid that's not going to work. I even used the sect's sword techniques during the day." Jiang Wan blinked and reminded, "It's right next to the most crowded teahouse in town. It's probably too late to silence him now."

Tu Changxing: ...

You Sheng: ...

The air froze at this moment.

Jiang Wan didn't care. She was not afraid. It was just the Tianyu Palace. It didn't matter how many disciples of the Demon Sect there were.

Now the Demon Sect has been defeated by her. Once the Demon Lord issues an order, all the disciples of the Demon Sect must obey her.

Is that the Demonic Sect? That’s her tool and money bag.

But no one else could understand the relief that Jiang Wan felt in her heart.

"It's okay." Chu Yingluo took a deep breath and calmly broke the silence. "When I came here, I heard that Senior Brother Baili from Songding Peak was wandering around Wenti City. At that time, Senior Sister Liao Li asked me to send a letter to him. I also told him that I would send another letter when I got to Yongshu Township. Senior Brother Baili hasn't received my letter in such a long time. He must have realized that something happened to me."

"According to the timeline, Senior Brother Baili will be coming to Yongshu Township in a few days to investigate. When Senior Brother Baili arrives, we will be saved."

Senior Brother Baili?

Jiang Wan thought of Senior Sister Liao Li's hesitant and ignoring attitude towards this senior brother, and felt a little curious.

"Fifth... Senior Brother from Song Dingfeng..." Lin Xubai breathed a sigh of relief. "I've heard quite a few rumors about him. Now I don't have to worry too much."

Bai Qingqing comforted him, "Don't worry. Although we can't communicate with the outside world and can't leave here, basic spiritual tools and talismans can be used. Junior Sister Jiang, if nothing else, will provide you with enough teleportation talismans."

Jiang Wan, who was in the center of the line of sight, decisively skipped the topic and said, "Let's discuss the issue of this closed secret realm."

Although I don’t understand why the word “wandering” is used to describe a person, the focus now is to understand the mechanism of Yongshu Township and how to crack it.

Yes, secret place.

Jiang Wan felt that the current Yongshu Township was more like the secret place that she and Lin Xubai had accidentally entered before.

The same closed space independent of the outside world, the same anomalies, and the same large number of monks entering.

To round it off, this is just a replica of the secret realm.

But this idea was first rejected by Rao Zhiyi.

"That might be an illusion," Jiang Wan speculated. "Everyone inside is fake. That would explain why everyone who comes here has to have a memorable story."

"Impossible." Rao Zhiyi firmly denied.

"A dream? Perhaps this isn't Eiju Township at all, but a false dimension constructed by someone."

"Impossible!" Rao Zhiyi was still the first to reject it.

Jiang Wan: ...

Hey, you reject everything I say. Are you targeting me or me?

"At first, we thought we had strayed into a secret realm, or perhaps it was an illusion set up by some demonic master. But..." Chu Yingluo saw the misunderstanding in Jiang Wan's eyes and began to explain, then hesitated and shook her head, "It's strange. I used the Sky-Splitting Talisman, but I couldn't tear this space apart."

"And you say that everything here is fake, which is very strange. The people from the Demon Sect have tried this and it is true." You Sheng did not say how the people from the Demon Sect tried it, but everyone could guess it.

It can be said that what Jiang Wan thought of, You Sheng and Chu Yingluo had also guessed.

Lin Xubai twirled his folding fan with his slender fingers. "Is it possible that it's a mixture of real and fake?"

"No, it feels more like this place has been affected by some unknown force, and then something strange has happened." Rao Zhiyi shook his head. "Perhaps someone set up a barrier around Yongshu Township to prevent entry and exit, and then separated it out to create a separate space."

"Can you say anything other than deny it?" Jiang Wan glanced at Rao Zhiyi speechlessly, then looked up at the sky that had darkened instantly after the rain stopped. "Besides, how can you be so sure? This place looks strange to me. It's probably not the original Yongshu Township."

Rao Zhiyi: "Because I'm a local, I'm absolutely sure this is the original Yongshu Township."

In the beginning, he was the one who witnessed the mutation and the process of the mutation with his own eyes.

"Someone must have done all this to Yongshu Township, turning it into what it is now. As long as we find the person behind it, we can find a way to solve the problem." Rao Zhiyi affirmed.

Jiang Wan was speechless: "..."

"We have also been secretly investigating these days. The people from the Demon Sect probably think the same as we do and are also looking for us." Tu Changxing.

Bai Qingqing: "Unfortunately, we have no clue who is behind this."

Rao Zhiyi suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. He stood up excitedly and said, "I know! I know who is behind the transformation of Yongshu Township!"

"who?"

Everyone looked at Rao Zhiyi thoughtfully.

Rao Zhiyi was very confident and said it out loud.

"Demon Lord!"

Jiang Wan: "Cough cough cough——"

Jiang Wan, who was successfully choked by these words, felt terrible.

It’s outrageous!!!

I was sitting at home and the pot fell from the sky! ! !
