Jiang Ming has lived for a staggering twelve thousand years. Even his master, senior brothers, and sisters have all ascended—yet he remains lying in his own grave pit, quietly waiting for death.
Chapter 60 The Elders’ Thoughts
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Jiang Ming looked towards the direction of Lingyun Sect.
Although tens of thousands of years have passed and even every mountain has undergone tremendous changes, Jiang Ming has never forgotten the excitement he felt when he first went to Lingyun Sect.
When he first started his journey of cultivation, he had a strong desire to establish a complete sect.
The Lingyun Sect, which was once such a glorious sect and led countless righteous people to follow its example, eventually ended up in its current state.
"Everything has changed." Jiang Ming said with a slight frown.
"Hey! Jiang Ming, why are you walking so fast?"
Suddenly, Tang Qiuyue ran up and came to Jiang Ming panting.
She didn't understand. Jiang Ming was clearly walking, but why couldn't she catch up with him even at a jog? It was really weird.
"Why are you following me?" Jiang Ming turned around and looked at the person who came over strangely.
"I just want to ask you, and my intuition tells me that you are not the kind of evil person who takes people's lives casually."
"Also, I can see from the fight just now that you could have fought back against the head of the Lin family many times, but you chose not to counterattack. Instead, you took away the opponent's strength, which shows that you have no ill will towards the Lin family."
Tang Qiuyue analyzed them one by one.
Hearing Tang Qiuyue's conclusion, Jiang Ming looked at her with some surprise.
Being able to analyze these things in such a chaotic situation is a big improvement compared to when I saw them in the small town.
"It was indeed me who sent the old man from the Lin family away. His method of prolonging his life was inhumane. Even if I wasn't there, someone would have come to send him away in the future." Jiang Ming asked, holding his hands.
"Why do you say that? Patriarch Lin's life-extending elixir is provided by our Lingyun Sect. Ordinary people can't get it." Tang Qiuyue said unconvinced.
"Then do you know what the ingredients of the pill are?" Jiang Ming asked back.
"This...how would I know?" Tang Qiuyue replied.
For some reason, facing Jiang Ming's questioning, Tang Qiuyue felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
When he was in the sect, his master didn't even feel such pressure when facing questioning from the elders.
As a result, she began to doubt whether there was really a problem with the sect's elixirs.
But soon she shook her head.
The sect had nurtured her, so how could she doubt her own sect?
"Then how do you prove that there is something wrong with our sect's elixirs?" Tang Qiuyue asked.
Listening to Tang Qiuyue's questioning, Jiang Ming did not answer.
According to the conversation when Lin Lao was in the state of virtual transformation, this matter is related to Lingyun Sect and the mastermind behind Lingyun Sect.
Since Lingyun Sect sent medicine to the Lin family with great fanfare, it was enough to show that the mastermind behind Lingyun Sect was probably not only infiltrated into the top leadership, but was probably connected to many people.
Among them, Tang Qiuyue is no exception.
Although Tang Qiuyue didn't seem to be involved in the matter, Jiang Ming still chose to remain silent.
The fewer people who know about this, the better. Once the news gets out, it will only alert the enemy.
Looking at Jiang Ming's silence, Tang Qiuyue smiled slyly.
"What do you think? You can't tell me the reason, but our Lingyun Sect is a righteous sect!" Tang Qiuyue said proudly.
Jiang Ming smiled faintly and did not answer.
"I'm very curious. I offended everyone in the Lin Mansion and suspected your Lingyun Sect. Aren't you angry?" Jiang Ming said lightly.
"Do you think everyone in the world is as suspicious as you? I just don't want to break my promise. This is my basic principle in life." Tang Qiuyue said.
"It seems that I have to look at you with new eyes." Jiang Ming replied.
"But let me be frank with you. I'm only taking you to Lingyun Sect. As for whether the hall elders are willing to accept you, that's another matter." Tang Qiuyue said.
"Yeah." Jiang Ming nodded silently.
…
Lingyun Sect.
There are several high peaks stretching out in a row, with an iron cable suspension bridge connecting the two peaks.
The top of the mountain is surrounded by ethereal clouds that seem like fairy air, covering the palace on the mountain.
Below the palace, countless disciples were studying and practicing diligently on the various mountain peaks, following the elders of each hall to practice the sect's magic.
At this time.
Hao Shangtian and the other two returned to the sect on a flying magic weapon, and immediately found the hall elder at the martial arts training ground to report the results of the mission.
“I’m back.”
The hall elder glanced at the three of them, raised his head, and spoke slowly.
"Reporting to the elder, there were some unexpected events during this mission." Hao Shangtian replied respectfully.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Oh? It's just delivering some medicine, what kind of accident could happen?" The hall elder frowned.
"This is what happened..." Hao Shangtian answered one by one.
The hall elders were told the news that Jiang Ming had killed the old patriarch of the Lin Mansion and that Lin Mufei was seriously injured.
Moreover, Hao Shangtian deliberately described Jiang Ming's strength and means in great detail.
Qi training period.
Defeated the Jindan stage!
If such words were spoken, I'm afraid no one in the entire Cang Xuan Continent would believe it.
No matter how powerful one is during the Qi training stage, it is only the physical body that is strong.
However, in the Jindan stage, one can perform advanced magic. After hearing Hao Shangtian's description, a trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the hall elder.
"You mean, that kid named Jiang Ming has a very special technique that can stop the opponent's moves in his hands instead of exploding?" asked the hall elder.
"That's right! This kind of moves are probably the techniques of some evil sect and are definitely not orthodox. This boy came to our Lingyun Sect and his purpose may not be simple." Hao Shangtian said with narrowed eyes.
The hall elder's mouth corners slightly raised.
"What you said makes sense, but if he really dares to come to my Lingyun Sect, I would like to see his strength with my own eyes." The hall elder said with his hands behind his back, looking like an immortal.
"But Elder..." Hao Shangtian frowned.
"Enough! The mission has not been completed, what else is there to say? Do you think that my strength is not as good as that of a person from a secular family?" The hall elder said coldly.
Hearing this, Hao Shangtian swallowed back everything he wanted to say.
In the end, the three of them had no choice but to retreat.
"Disciple knows he was wrong. I will go back and practice more now."
After saying that, Hao Shangtian and the other two slowly left.
After the three people left, a hint of pride appeared in the hall elder's eyes.
"The Qi training stage can defeat the Jindan stage. I must master this technique! After I master it, will I still care about this mere position of hall elder?"
"Even if he is an inner sect elder, what's wrong with being the master of a peak?"
A gleam of greed flashed in the hall elder's eyes.
He even began to look forward to it.
If it is true as Hao Shangtian said, Jiang Ming will soon be brought to Lingyun Sect by Tang Qiuyue. By then, he will have plenty of ways to hand over Jiang Ming's set of skills! In this way, he will no longer be looked down upon by other elders.
Maybe even the adult who helped the headmaster practice would set his sights on him! "Don't keep me waiting, Jiang Ming."
There was a different gleam in the hall elder's eyes.
