True Villain: Noble Identity, Prominent ...
Chapter 239: All immortal sects in the world are one family. If you want to find Xitu, you should thank him.
"Now many people have received the news. March is very special for the land of Jiuzhou, but for the various sects in the four star fields, this is also an opportunity that cannot be missed."
"It's a matter of chance and destiny. Those who are destined to have it will get it. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie." Han Jing was not at all shy about this matter and admitted it very frankly.
"This pie is not so easy to divide..." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
"My Yingzhao Dojo is well aware of the difficulty of this matter, but we still want to give it a try. I just don't know whether Saint Son Jiang Lan is willing to give us this opportunity." Han Jing said seriously.
"All the immortal sects in the world are one family. If Yingzhao Dojo joins the Xiandao League and becomes a part of it, then I think this should not be difficult, and I would be happy to do so." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
Han Jing shook his head and didn't continue speaking.
If it weren't for the existence of the Xiandao League, Yingzhao Dojo would have already been thinking about how to take root in the land of Jiuzhou.
Everyone knows exactly why the Xiandao League was established.
The huge ambition of Taiyi Sect can be seen from this cleansing of Dongyuan Prefecture.
"Han Jing came to Nie Er Country this time just to reminisce with me, and he has no intention of interfering in the world's affairs."
"The Immortal Dao League is a covenant jointly established by fellow immortals from all over the world. It is responsible for maintaining order in the world, adjusting the grievances between the forces of the Daoist tradition, and maintaining the stability of the people. I personally think that the teachers and leaders of Daochang behind Han Jing should be very happy to cooperate with the Immortal Dao League."
Nie Zhaoyi spoke softly at the right time to help Han Jing out of the predicament.
Jiang Lan didn't intend to make things difficult for them. After all, it didn't matter to him whether they joined the Xiandao League or not.
The establishment of the Xiandao League is unstoppable and will only grow like a snowball. If you don't join it now, you will have no other choice in the future.
The room is filled with subtle fragrance and melodious string music, like the sound of nature, which makes it easy to relax.
Soon, several beautiful maids came with various spiritual fruits and drinks. A middle-aged man with a big belly and a wealthy appearance came trotting over, with a flattering look on his face.
"Sir, do you still remember me?"
"I didn't know you came to Yingxian Tower, otherwise I would have reserved the best private room for you earlier..."
Jiang Lan looked at this person and felt a sense of familiarity. He nodded slightly and said, "Are you the manager of the Changlong Merchant Alliance branch of Feixian Island?"
"It is indeed my humble self. It is my honor to be remembered by you, sir."
The middle-aged man had a flattering smile on his face and waved his hand. A group of maids came out behind him, changed the jade table and jade chairs in front of them, brought various snacks, and served them personally.
Han Jing and Nie Zhaoyi were just discussing this matter, but they never thought that Yingxian Tower was actually the property of Changlong Commercial Alliance.
This made Nie Zhaoyi look even more embarrassed. She only spoke in a hurry at the time and wanted to help Shi Tian out, and she didn't think too much about it at all.
"Don't be too restrained. Princess Nie Er is treating us today. I'm just a guest and I can't take over other people's business." Jiang Lan smiled and waved his hand to signal the middle-aged man to leave.
"Nowadays, the land of Jiuzhou is almost dominated by Saint Jiang Lan." Han Jing's eyes were slightly complicated.
Even the deep part of the North Sea has been opened up by the Changlong Merchant Alliance, which has sent people to build restaurants. The industry is basically spread throughout the entire Kyushu land, and it is estimated that the same is true for overseas areas.
Once the Sifang Star Region borders the Kyushu Land and trade routes are opened up, the Sifang Star Region will probably be infiltrated by the Prime Minister's Office soon.
The Xiangguo Mansion is the eyes of Taiyi Sect.
This trend is in full swing and it is impossible to stop it.
"It's not that I have the final say, but in the land of Jiuzhou, various immortal sects give me some face." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and smiled.
Han Jing didn't say anything else. This world has always been about the survival of the fittest. If you don't have the strength and confidence, who will give you face?
Jiang Lan has now completely established himself at the top of the Kyushu land, and his words in some ways represent golden words and jade orders.
Han Jing began to seriously consider some of the instructions given by his master.
The land of Jiuzhou experienced a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and since then it has become a barren land with scarce resources. Various ancient Taoist sects and immortal gates have also gone away, and the former indigenous inhabitants of the land of Jiuzhou have also moved to other places and taken root there.
Today, the most ancient and traditional forces in the four star fields actually have roots in the land of Kyushu.
Many sects and ethnic groups even regard the land of Kyushu as their homeland and have always wanted to return.
Now the land of Kyushu has regained its vitality. In less than ten thousand years, four saints have been born one after another. This kind of foundation is simply not comparable to that of the four star fields.
In this generation, the talents of Jiang Lan and others are by no means comparable to the geniuses in the Four Directions Star Field.
She came to Nie Er Country, not only to meet Nie Zhaoyi, but also for other things, which was to investigate the real situation of the land of Jiuzhou today.
"It is truly a land favored by God..." Han Jing sighed softly with some envy.
"God values balance. The land of Kyushu is rich, but there has never been true peace." Nie Zhaoyi also sighed at this time.
"This is why the Xiandao League came into being. If we want to end the chaos that has always existed in the land of Jiuzhou, we must have a force strong enough to integrate it all." Jiang Lan said.
"What the Immortal Dao Alliance has done is admirable. Saint Son Jiang Lan has such talent and courage, which is far beyond the reach of the younger generation like us." Han Jing admired sincerely.
"Thank you for the compliment, Taoist priest." Jiang Lan glanced at her and smiled slightly.
Although Han Jing had tied her black hair into a jade hair crown, dressed like a female Taoist priest, her appearance was no less beautiful than Nie Zhaoyi, and she even had a unique style. When she saw Jiang Lan, she changed her previous plain and neutral voice and added a bit of feminine tenderness, saying, "Saint Son Jiang Lan, you can call me Han Jing. Although I have been studying Taoism since I was young, I am actually different from the female priests in the Taoist temple."
"Oh? How is it different?" Jiang Lan could clearly sense the deep meaning implied in Han Jing's eyes, but he just smiled faintly, as if he didn't see it.
“The paths are different, the concepts and perspectives are different.”
Han Jing lifted a few strands of black hair by her ears, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she sat up a little straighter. Through the loose Taoist robe, one could vaguely see some of her tall and handsome outlines.
Nie Zhaoyi looked at his friend and was obviously stunned and surprised.
She was not a person who knew nothing. From Han Jing's behavior, she could obviously guess some of her intentions.
However, Jiang Lan still sat there calmly, eating the dishes casually, as if he didn't care.
Nie Zhaoyi shook his head.
Actually, there was nothing much to talk about at this banquet. Jiang Lan's purpose of coming here was just to meet Nie Zhaoyi.
At the beginning, there was a piece of Xitu left beside the Weak Water, and in this Xitu, an innate strange stone was born. Nie Zhaoyi's real body was a lichen beside the Bu Tian Stone.
The Weak Water was originally a barrier used by the Heavenly Palace to keep out outside creatures. It was known as a place where not even a feather could cross. Any outside creature who wanted to enter the Heavenly Palace had to cross the Weak Water. With the collapse of the Heavenly Palace, the Weak Water has now become one of the barriers outside the land of Kyushu.
In addition to the world barrier, creatures from outside the world who want to come to the land of Jiuzhou must also cross the Weak Water.
The innate breath in the Weak Water can make all matter sink. Even the existence that surpasses saints is helpless against the Weak Water.
Only Xitu can carry the innate breath within.
"Just now on the long street, I remember Saint Jiang Lan said that he wanted to ask me something. I wonder what it is?"
Halfway through the banquet, Nie Zhaoyi seemed to have just remembered something and took the initiative to ask about this matter. She didn't want to have too much to do with Jiang Lan anymore and just wanted to try her best to resolve the trouble that Shi Tian had caused today.
"Actually, I've been looking for something recently. It's very likely that only you, Princess, can find it, so I would like to ask for your help." Jiang Lan put down the jade chopsticks and said with a smile.
"I wonder what it is?" Nie Zhaoyi asked curiously.
"I want to find Xitu." Jiang Lan did not hide it.
"Xi Tu?"
Han Jing was also stunned when she heard this. She had naturally heard the name of this innate wonder, but had anyone really seen it?
Nie Zhaoyi's brows wrinkled slightly. She had seen this kind of thing before she transformed and gained intelligence, but the memory of that time was very long ago. She didn't know where the piece of Xitu had gone in the end.
"Since it is Saint Son Jiang Lan who has entrusted you, after I return, I will definitely have someone investigate it thoroughly and try my best to give Saint Son Jiang Lan a satisfactory answer." She did not refuse at the first time, but she did not agree directly either.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I know that Princess Zhaoyi once lived in Xitu and has a trace of Xitu's aura, so I asked you for help. Shitian's true form is the Bu Tian Stone, and he was also bred in that Xitu. I actually thought about asking him for help, but he is quite hostile to me and I don't think he would agree."
"If it's not necessary, I really don't want to take action against the Stone Spirit Clan. I'm not that interested in the Sky-Repairing Stone."
"However, thank you very much for your hospitality today, Princess. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely prepare a banquet and return the favor." Jiang Lan smiled and stood up as he spoke, as if he was going to leave immediately.
"Saint Son Jiang Lan, wait a minute..."
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaoyi was stunned at first, but then she realized the intention of Jiang Lan's words. Her pretty face suddenly turned slightly pale, and she stood up hurriedly to try to keep him.
"Oh? Princess Zhaoyi, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Lan looked at her with a smile.
"As for the matter of Xitu, I will definitely find a way to help Saint Son Jiang Lan find it." Nie Zhaoyi's slender hands clenched the corners of his clothes so tightly that they even looked a little pale.
She didn't expect that Jiang Lan, who had been speaking nicely and smiling warmly just now, would change his tone and say something that was almost a direct "threat".
"Then I would like to thank Princess Zhaoyi first."
"This is my communication jade talisman. If the princess has any news, you can contact me through it." Jiang Lan had achieved his goal and had no intention of staying. He placed a communication jade talisman on the jade table and left.
"Young Master..." Yuan Kong, Kong Xuan and others who were waiting outside the private room immediately stepped forward.
"Prepare a gift for me. The more precious the better. Tomorrow I will go to the Shiling clan's territory and pay a visit to the old saint of the Shiling clan." Jiang Lan said casually.
"Young Master, are you going to visit the Stone Spirit Clan?"
Yuankong and others were stunned and almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Today, he humiliated Shi Tian in front of so many living beings and cultivators. Isn’t he afraid of revenge from the Shi Ling clan?
"I want to visit the old saint, not the Stone Spirit Clan."
Jiang Lan waved his hand and said, "By the way, prepare an extra copy. I plan to visit the ruler of Nie Er Country while I'm at it."
"yes."
Yuankong and the others did not ask any more questions and hurried down to prepare gifts. However, what gifts were needed to pay respect to a saint? With the saint's vision, what could be pleasing to the eye? They were a little puzzled.
Not long after Jiang Lan left the private room, Nie Zhaoyi, who had calmed down, sat back down, a hint of sadness covering her beautiful face.
"It seems that the rumors are true. Jiang Lan is hard to figure out. He is very cunning and it is hard to guess what he is thinking..."
"I thought he was easy to approach, but I didn't expect that he would use Shi Tian to threaten you. This is not what a gentleman does." Han Jing looked at the jade talisman on the jade table and sighed lightly.
“If you are a gentleman, you wouldn’t humiliate brother Shi Tian in front of so many people.” Nie Zhaoyi pinched his eyebrows, seeming to have a headache.
She glanced at Han Jing with a hint of apology and said, "I may need to go back and discuss this with my adoptive father. I won't be able to accompany you to travel around the North Sea..."
Han Jing smiled cheerfully upon hearing this and said, "Just go and solve this problem with peace of mind. I also have something else I want to do."
Nie Zhaoyi then left with a group of maids, looking a little worried.
Han Jing sat alone in the private room for a while, took out a yellowed and old jade pendant from his arms, looked at the patterns on it, lost in thought, and left after a while.
However, she did not leave Yingxian Tower directly. Instead, she found the wealthy middle-aged man and asked him some questions in detail. After getting satisfactory answers, she left with satisfaction.
At this time, deep in the Shi Ling clan's territory, in a simple stone chamber, the two brothers Shi Tian and Shi Ning were standing in front of Shi Sheng. Shi Tian had a guilty look on his face, but Shi Ning was a little afraid and dodged, not daring to look Shi Sheng in the eye.
"Jiang Lan has already broken into the eighth realm. When he was in the seventh realm, he was able to fight against the most powerful. Now with his cultivation strength, I'm afraid he can no longer take the supreme power seriously. Unless a saint takes action, no one can suppress him."
"Tian'er, your cultivation is shallow and it's normal that you can't defeat him. You don't have to be discouraged." Shi Sheng comforted him and did not blame Shi Tian for what happened in Nie City.
As for Shi Ning who was hiding behind him, he just sighed and shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless and angry.
"Grandpa is teaching me that what happened today has taught me a lesson, but it has also been a rewarding experience. It has tempered my character and I won't be as impatient and impulsive as before."
“There will always be someone better than you, but as long as I keep improving, I will overcome it one day.”
"Didn't you tell me the story of thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west before?" Shi Tian said, his eyes calm and resolute, without any anger or unwillingness.
Shi Sheng nodded with some satisfaction. This world has never lacked geniuses and people with great luck, and those who can always win often have good character.
In his opinion, character is the most important factor in judging a person's achievements. Only by being neither arrogant nor impatient but calm and resolute can one move towards the top step by step.
"Although Jiang Lan is strong, he is too sharp. A strong tree is easily broken, and a tall tree attracts the wind. This is an eternal truth. He has not suffered any loss now, but soon the world will change drastically, and creatures and cultivators from outside the realm will appear. He will be targeted if he is so ostentatious. With him in front, you will actually have it a lot easier." Shi Sheng said slowly, his eyes deep and wise, as if he had already seen some scenes in the future.
"In that case, I should thank him."
After hearing these words, Shi Tian felt much more relaxed and chuckled.
But he soon thought of something and asked, "By the way, Grandpa, I have something to ask you..."
"Do you know the princess of Nie Er country?"
