Chapter 29 029 The Number One Ferocious Cultivator in the Four Realms

Although they were siblings, Jiang Cui always respected her brother, so she dared not ask the truth.

She said, "Although Sect Leader Shen is beautiful, she doesn't seem like a delicate, clingy person. She must be quite strong-willed, and she's at the half-immortal level. After all, she's the leader of a sect. I just think she might not be obedient."

Jiang Bin smiled slightly, but the smile seemed somewhat forced.

Jiang Cui quickly said, "Even if she advances to the second level of cultivation and becomes the head of a sect, it is still just a pill-cultivation sect, and its combat strength is insufficient. As long as you put in some effort, brother, you will surely be able to subdue her."

Jiang Binhe said, "Besides, she also has a daughter, whom she is said to dote on."

"A mother will always have to yield for the sake of her child."

Although Jiang Cui was usually heartless, she couldn't hold back her emotions when she heard this.

Putting everything else aside, Shen Xiaochun is a child of considerable importance in Tianyuan Prefecture. Her elder brother naturally knew this, yet he still said it this way.

Jiang Bin was known for his cunning and scheming, and he must have had a plan in mind.

Jiang Cui: Then we dare not ask.

Perhaps because someone was thinking about her, Shen Xiaochun felt her nose itchy in class and couldn't help but sneeze.

During class, Shen Xiaochun covered her nose to avoid making a commotion.

Fortunately, the immortal master Zeng, who taught the immortal history class, was always quite lenient and didn't take it to heart. He just gave Shen Xiaochun a very stern look.

Shen Xiaochun immediately pretended to be obedient, showing a well-behaved and clever appearance.

Master Zeng was not one to hold grudges, so he let her off the hook.

Even though they were in class, Xiao Xiu was quite absent-minded.

Tianyuan Palace originally did not have a course on Immortal History; it was only opened at Xie Qingyu's strong request.

Sect Leader Xie clearly felt that in addition to ability, morality was also very important, and he wanted the junior cultivators to understand the history of the Four Realms, right and wrong.

With the sect leader of the Nine Peaks Immortal Sect holding such prestige, no one could really say anything bad about him.

As a master of immortal history, Zeng Xi's job couldn't be easier. After all, the junior cultivators of Tianyuan Prefecture all came from distinguished backgrounds, and if the others weren't taught well, their parents would definitely have complaints.

However, it doesn't matter if one's knowledge of immortal history is slightly lacking; it's okay to slack off a bit.

Shen Xiaochun stared blankly, utterly bored.

Going to school felt like going to a funeral. She actually quite liked cultivating, but she just didn't feel very comfortable staying in Tianyuan Mansion.

Staying at home is so much fun! In just two days, Bixia Sect has reached a higher level, and my mother even performed a beautiful Dharma image for me. It was truly amazing.

Shen Xiaochun rested her chin on her hand, listening to Master Zeng's chanting, and became even more drowsy.

Jiang Yingxue, on the other hand, was different. She took out her notebook and started taking notes, listening very carefully and attentively.

Master Zeng was telling the story of immortals, and he got to the part about the great war against demons.

It also mentions the most evil cultivator in the Four Realms, Greedy Wolf.

Tanlang was a disciple of the former Immortal Venerable Jiang Ling. He received great kindness from Jiang Ling but did not think of repaying it.

When the demonic flames raged, Tanlang betrayed his master and joined the evil forces.

As the battle against the demons drew to a close, Tanlang repeatedly jumped back and forth, finally kneeling before his master, Jiang Ling.

Immortal Venerable Jiang Ling was soft-hearted and sentimental, so she believed Tan Lang's story and announced to the public that Tan Lang was a spy infiltrated into the enemy's ranks.

It was because of the Greedy Wolf star that the demon was successfully vanquished.

Therefore, Tanlang not only has no faults, but also merits, and is a great hero of the four realms.

Although others did not believe it, they dared not question it too much, considering the weight of Immortal Jiang's words.

After all, Immortal Jiang sacrificed a great deal in the battle against the demons, his body was severely depleted, and he saved many lives.

He wanted to protect his disciple, so he believed the lies of the greedy wolf and used this as collateral, telling a colossal lie to protect a heinous demon.

Shen Xiaochun raised her lips as if she wanted to yawn, but knowing it would be inappropriate, she simply raised her hand to cover her lips.

To be honest, this story is too cliché.

The kind-hearted saintly father, the villain who never turns back, it's not like we're into homosexuality, why write such cheesy stuff, I need to clear out the warning and get my money back.

The direction of the story is predictable.

Master Zeng continued recounting history, and indeed it was Tanlang who murdered his master and fled.

Shen Xiaochun: No surprises at all! She's heard this story hundreds of times.

Of course, the reputation of Tanlang, the number one fierce cultivator in the four realms, is also deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Shen Xiaochun also heard that Young Master Mu had stopped people on the road to have their blood tested in order to find Tanlang.

The three little insects, Shen Da, Chen Er, and Chen San, flew around the classroom, overhearing the whispers and chirping of the junior students, which they were trying to cover up with secret techniques.

"Immortal Jiang, the taste is absolutely authentic!"

"As friends who often eat people know, Jiang Xianzun is very nourishing."

The textbooks that Tianyuan Mansion provides to the young cultivators have been modified and abridged to prevent children from being exposed to blood and darkness too early.

But kids these days know so much more.

It's not in the textbooks, and Master Zeng wouldn't say it either, but there are some things that everyone knows.

Not only did Tanlang murder his master, but Master Jiang's body was also mutilated.

The corpse also showed signs of being gnawed; according to observation, these were human teeth marks.

Greedy Wolf didn't waste anything; after killing the wolf, he even ate some of it.

Just like back then, the Jiang family also selected a talented young man and sent him to Jiang Ling, hoping that Jiang Ling would take him as a disciple.

Later, this young man surnamed Jiang was killed, and his body was even gnawed on.

It was Jiang Ling who defended her beloved student, saying he was innocent.

However, the saint's weak and pure goodness always leads to the result of indulging evil. Jiang Xianzun's indulgence back then led to his own death at the hands of villains, and even his body being gnawed at.

As for the Greedy Wolf eating the corpse, there is another explanation.

The Greedy Wolf comes from the City of Evil and Filth, where there is a saying that if you eat a dead person, you will receive their good fortune and blessings.

If there is reincarnation, one can be reborn into a better life in the next life; if there is destiny, everything will go smoothly.

Tanlang's actions weren't purely madness; they stemmed from some local custom.

Such a villain is truly chilling.

Although Sect Leader Xie felt it was inappropriate for children and therefore deliberately wrote a celestial history to cover it up, in reality, this matter was no secret for a long time.

Curious stories always spread incredibly fast, not to mention that kids these days have an exceptionally high tolerance for them.

The repairmen weren't particularly scared, and they even started using tired old jokes.

Shen Xiaochun found these tired jokes even more boring.

She thought that her time in Tianyuan Prefecture was not as interesting as before the holiday.

Originally, Shen Xiaochun returned to Tianyuan Mansion intending to have a major confrontation. Wasn't that Mo family boy expelled from school? She was even planning to have a showdown with Xie Jue.

During the holiday, Shen Xiaochun secretly chatted with Jiang Yingxue in bed and learned that Xie Jue was spreading rumors.

Unexpectedly, she actually returned to Tianyuan Mansion. Xie Jue remained silent and did not cause any trouble.

She glanced at Xie Jue for a while, but found him uninteresting, so she turned her attention to the Rong siblings.

Rong Tang also seemed a little absent-minded, but thanks to her family's upbringing, she sat up very straight.

Rong Xiao, that blockhead, sat very upright, listened very carefully, and took notes diligently.

Shen Xiaochun thought that Rong Xiao must be very bored on weekdays. As she thought this, she suddenly realized that she had also mentioned Jiang Yingxue beside her, and she secretly apologized.

Shen Xiaochun wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Rong Xiao seemed to have a few more scars under his snow-white clothes.

She wasn't sure.

After staring at it for a while, Shen Xiaochun found it very boring.

She pondered to herself, encouraging herself and thinking about what interesting things she could do in Tianyuan Prefecture. But she couldn't go too far, otherwise Old Shen wouldn't forgive her.

The Jiang siblings have already returned to the second level of heaven.

Although Yuan Yuan Tian does not prohibit cultivators from the lower realms from entering or leaving, they still need to submit an application before entering Yuan Yuan Tian, ​​stating the reason for their visit. In addition, Young Master Mu needs to have his blood tested every fifteen days.

Therefore, it was not advisable for the Jiang siblings to stay any longer.

Jiang Cui was cautious and prudent in front of her brother, but her temper was not actually very good, which is why she chose Nan Yulou.

Putting aside everything else, Nan Yulou certainly provides a lot of emotional value.

Nan Yulou was clearly quite concerned about the advancement of the Bixia Sect.

As he untied Jiang Cui's hair, he asked her if the matter was going smoothly.

Jiang Cui: "What do you mean by smooth or not smooth? If Sect Leader Xie were so easy to please, would you, brother, go to so much trouble? As for the Bixia Sect, I think they've successfully advanced to the next level, and there shouldn't be any major changes. What are you afraid of? The factions were clearly divided when they were divided, and Sect Leader Shen wouldn't be so inept at interpersonal relationships."

Nan Yulou was a little embarrassed and remained silent.

Jiang Cui suddenly understood and chuckled, "Do you still want a share of the pie? It's not that there wasn't an opportunity, but Shen Zhiwei is extremely meticulous. Before the sect advanced, they had already signed a contract, keeping you completely safe. My brother and I are helpless. It's just that even though you're in the Bixia Sect, you're like a blind man, knowing nothing. How can I help you?"

Nan Yulou blushed slightly and skillfully massaged Jiang Cui's shoulders: "We've known each other for a while, yet the Shen family is scheming like this. What thoughts could I possibly have?"

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Cui's eyes: "Although my brother is a guest elder of the Tianchi Sect, he runs the Liuli Pavilion in the Second Heaven. I also often stay in the Second Heaven and don't always return to the Tianchi Sect. Yu Lou, are you feeling very wronged?"

Compared to Shi Miaoxue, Jiang Cui was much more shrewd. Nan Yulou also put on a high level of vigilance to deal with her: "I have deep feelings for you and ask for nothing more. It would be great if you stayed in the second floor to act like a tyrant."

Jiang Cui smiled and said, "That's right. With my brother and I, the Jiang family, here, you won't suffer any grievances in the second heaven."

Jiang Cui's heart skipped a beat, and she probed, "You and Shen Zhiwei were quite familiar with each other before, do you know who Shen Xiaochan's biological father is?"

Nan Yulou was furious at the mention of this: "That Sect Leader Shen is truly cunning and full of lies. Not a single word of hers can be taken seriously. There are hardly any of the rumors circulating in the region that are true. She might even be spreading them herself."

"After going to Yuanyuan Heaven, they first said that Sect Master Xie of the Jiuyi Immortal Sect was infatuated with her. Now it's even more outrageous. They said that her former lover was Young Master Mu, and that Xiao Chan is the daughter of Mu Wuxian. These words are really absurd. It's just that Young Master Mu doesn't want to pay attention to her. This matter could be a big deal or a small deal if we investigate it."

Nan Yulou spoke eloquently and logically.

But Jiang Cui cut to the chase: "You don't know either, do you?"

Nan Yulou was extremely embarrassed.

Jiang Cui was furious, and then realized she had lost her mind to ask Nan Yulou.

In the end, Nan Yulou was nothing more than a beautiful but useless person. Even with the power of the Tianchi Sect, she was still utterly crushed by Shen Zhiwei, and Shen Zhiwei devoured all the benefits of her disciples during the early stages of the sect's development.

How could Shen Zhiwei reveal the truth to Nan Yulou?

She suspected that Shen Zhiwei had an affair with Jiang Bin back then, and felt that it was almost certain. However, she did not know that Rong Ying from the Rong family was just as certain and had already decided that Shen Zhiwei was Xie Chengbi's former lover.

Jiang Cui was a little annoyed, so she took it out on Nan Yulou: "From now on, just say what you know, don't beat around the bush and add unnecessary details."

The so-called "swallowing needles as a concubine" was met with a quick "yes" from Nan Yulou.

At this time, Tian Xiyu requested an audience, and Jiang Cui allowed him to enter.

It was said that he was requesting an audience, but in reality, it was Jiang Cui who summoned him. Tian Xiyu's attitude was very respectful, and his posture was extremely upright.

Nan Yulou had several beautiful female attendants, among whom Tian Xiyu was the most pleasing and the one he favored and trusted the most.

Seeing Tian Xiyu being summoned by Jiang Cui, Nan Yulou couldn't help but feel worried, her heart pounding in her throat.

Tian Xiyu was very obedient, and Nan Yulou noticed that she had even taken off the pair of earrings he had given her.

Tian Xiyu has always been quick-witted.

Jiang Cui let her hair down and casually picked at her nail guards: "Xiao Tian, ​​I heard that you were an orphan with a pitiful background, but you are very ambitious, which is rare. Yu Lou doesn't have much to do now, it would be a waste for you to stay by his side, why don't you work for me? I am a person who is very fair in rewarding and punishing, I only look at ability, not background. As long as you do your best, I will never treat you unfairly."

Are you willing?

Nan Yulou's heart was in his throat. He knew Tian Xiyu was loyal, but he was worried that his current situation might cause Tian Xiyu to be hurt by his sincere affection for him.

But Tian Xiyu was overjoyed and said without hesitation, "Thank you for your appreciation, Fairy Jiang. I am so happy and excited to have such an opportunity to be valued by you."

She gracefully bowed.

Nan Yulou couldn't hold back any longer, as if she had been slapped hard across the face several times. When Jiang Cui looked over, Nan Yulou quickly forced a smile, seemingly happy for her.

Jiang Cui snorted coldly in her heart and couldn't help but sneer.

Unlike Shi Miaoxue, who could tolerate so many women and ambiguous relationships around her man, Jiang Cui was simple-minded. Not only simple, but also very direct, she would never allow herself to feel even the slightest displeasure.

She then forcibly took Nan Yulou's woman.

She and her brother had survived as beggars when they were young, so they naturally knew how to manage their own interests.

Jiang Cui thought of Shen Zhiwei again, and she felt a bit annoyed with her. Nan Yulou mentioned that the rumors about Shen Zhiwei were all wild guesses; everyone's imaginations were running wild, even going so far as to speculate about Young Master Mu.

Of course, this Sect Leader Shen was indeed very beautiful.

If this Sect Leader Shen's lover is really my brother, who was born a beggar and was once willing to be a servant, would that be a stain on Sect Leader Shen's reputation?

At this time, Jiang Binren was alone in the hall, and he conjured up his magical artifact.

That was a soul umbrella.

Just like Shen Zhiwei joked before, Jiang Bin's magical artifacts are an umbrella and a soul umbrella.

Soul umbrellas are usually made by refining beast souls, but that's not always the case.

Jiang Bin recalled seeing Shen Zhiwei today, thinking about what she said and the expression on Shen Zhiwei's face when she said those words.

At that moment, Shen Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that Elder Jiang's magic weapon is a beautiful umbrella, isn't it? I really want to see it."

Although it seems casual, it also seems to have been worthwhile.

It seemed like a deliberate or unintentional provocation, a subtle hint.

Jiang Bin didn't know why he cared so much about what Shen Zhiwei said; perhaps he was just a man with many thoughts on his mind.

He felt that there was an underlying meaning in Shen Zhiwei's words.

Jiang Bin gently opened his soul umbrella.

Shen Zhiwei said it was a brightly colored umbrella, and Jiang Bin's Soul Umbrella was indeed very beautiful.

On the umbrella surface, there is a brightly colored rose, which is eerily beautiful and desolate, giving the whole umbrella a chilling and melancholic feel.

Jiang Bin's expression also underwent a subtle change, and his eyes suddenly shone with a frightening light.

He once had a wife, Qi Luan, who died young because of her family. To avenge his wife, he caused her family to be expelled from the Tianchi Sect, and Jiang Bin became an elder of the Tianchi Sect.

Everyone said he was deeply affectionate, and although his methods were somewhat ruthless, he was still deeply in love with his deceased wife.

It is said that Jiang Bin had been tolerant and yielding towards the Yue family in every way. If the Yue family had not killed Qi Luan, Jiang Bin would have continued to yield.

But in fact, before Qi Luan died of illness, the relationship between the couple was already extremely bad, and Qi Luan looked at him with deep hatred.

Looking at the rose on the umbrella, Jiang Bin couldn't help but smile slightly.

His wife was utterly dull, possessing only the qualities of a refined lady from a celestial sect—reserved, dignified, and rigidly conventional. But in truth, Qi Luan was quite flirtatious, yearning to be morbidly pursued and admired, though always initiated by others; she was merely innocent, resistant, and forced to accept it.

Therefore, Qi Luan did not accept Jiang Bin at first.

She always kept herself completely covered up in public.

On her wedding day, Qi Luan took off her bright red wedding dress, revealing her snow-white skin.

Her skin was as white as snow, and a rose tattoo on her back was exquisitely beautiful.

Yes, the roses on his soul umbrella are exactly the same as the roses on his deceased wife's back.

But who knows?

His deceased wife was a virtuous lady from a celestial sect who would never undress in front of others, and he was Qi Luan's first man.

Jiang Bin's fingers touched the surface, and the texture was incredibly delicate, like the skin of a beautiful woman.

A chilling obsession flowed in Jiang Bin's eyes.

In the third year after his wife's death, he acquired a magical artifact: a soul umbrella. This soul umbrella possessed immense destructive power, further enhancing Jiang Bin's combat strength.

Whenever Jiang Bin opens his umbrella, the rose on the umbrella surface slowly blooms.

Blood flowed like rain during the murder, staining the rose crimson and making it even more vibrant.

Amidst the crimson hue, this rose bloomed all the more beautifully.

But what does Shen Zhiwei mean?

Jiang Bin suddenly seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and his expression instantly became more ferocious.

Of course, the Four Realms have now established rules that it is no longer acceptable to use human souls to forge weapons.

After the great war against the demons, the four realms began to pretend to establish rules, and even the unscrupulous Young Master Mu killed far fewer people. Everyone was putting on a show of decency, but the one who put on the most show of decency was Xie Qingyu, the sect leader of the Nine Peaks Immortal Sect.

So some things really do seem like a big deal.

Shen Zhiwei may have just mentioned it casually. But for some reason, perhaps out of intuition, Jiang Bin felt extremely uneasy, and his heart grew colder.

He felt that Shen Zhiwei did it on purpose.

Mentioning his humble origins as a servant and mentioning this umbrella, he assumed that having gained Xie Zhiyu's favor, he could act with impunity.

A hint of sinister intent flickered in Jiang Bin's eyes.

Just as Jiang Bin was making a firm decision, Fairy Mei Yue was invited to the scene.

Not only Mei Yue came, but also Mei Yue's uncle, Mei Fei, the Grand Elder of Yaoguang Sect.

Mei Yue had just been slapped in Yuan Yuan Tian, ​​and there was still some anger on her face. However, Mei Fei was much more sensible, and her face showed more fear and gentleness.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "That's right, the Grand Elder is a few years older and knows what's important."

He asked sarcastically, "Is Fairy Mei still angry?"

Before Mei Yue could speak, Mei Fei interrupted, saying, "Sect Master is joking. Yue'er knows what's important, how could she be angry like this? And how could she not understand your good intentions? You are doing this for her own good, it's just that she herself is not up to par."

Jiang Bin's smile softened: "The Grand Elder is indeed mature and prudent, knowing how to adapt to changing circumstances and understand the situation. Doesn't he even know what the current situation is like, or how many pieces of iron Yaoguang Sect are left?"

Mei Fei agreed.

Mei Yue, however, appeared to be enduring it all, and didn't seem entirely convinced.

Seeing Mei Yue's expression, Jiang Bin wasn't surprised. Such a favored daughter of heaven, having been pampered since childhood, was bound to have a bit of a temper.

The more someone is like this, the more Jiang Bin wants to thoroughly test and torment them.

Jiang Bin's words slowed down: "I originally intended to secure a good future for the fairy, but unfortunately, Sect Leader Xie didn't think much of her. If you want to blame someone, blame Sect Leader Shen. She is charming and capable, which has attracted Sect Leader Xie's attention, so he doesn't even glance at you. If it weren't for her meddling, Sect Leader Xie might have shown you some pity."

Mei Yue's eyes remained filled with hatred, and she gritted her teeth, remaining silent.

Mei Fei quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "A Yue is ignorant. She came today to discuss her marriage. It is her good fortune to become a Daoist couple with Pavilion Master Jiang."

In Mei Fei's eyes, Mei Yue was a well-known beauty in the Second Heaven. Although Xie Qingyu didn't care, Jiang Bin found her rare.

In the past, Mei Yue was focused on cultivation and had no interest in matters of men and women, nor was she interested in becoming a Daoist partner.

Back then, A-Yue would naturally not have agreed, but now it's a different story.

Jiang Bin laughed, "Who said I wanted to become her Daoist partner?"

Mei Fei was taken aback. If not a Daoist partner, then a concubine?

Mei Yue will definitely throw a tantrum and probably won't agree. He, as an elder, will have to persuade her carefully.

Given the circumstances, they had no choice but to back down, but unfortunately, the younger generation in the sect didn't understand.

Even today, Mei Fei had to use a lot of persuasion to persuade Mei Yue to become her Daoist partner.

Now, lobbying has become even more difficult.

Jiang Bin: "I have a subordinate named Chen En who drives my carriage and serves me faithfully. I plan to reward him with a woman to serve him. Fairy Mei would be a good choice. Although her temperament is a bit lacking, she is beautiful after all."

Mei Yue could no longer contain herself: "Jiang Bin, you have gone too far in insulting me!"

She conjured a magic sword, aimed it at Jiang Bin, her expression extremely sorrowful and her face very unpleasant.

Jiang Bin sneered, "With the fall of the Yaoguang Pavilion Master, the Mei Clan no longer has a cultivator at the Half-Immortal Realm. If they cannot fill this position as a Half-Immortal Realm sect leader within three years, the entire sect will be demoted. What else do you have to be so presumptuous about!"

Jiang Bin was telling the truth, and the truth is the most hurtful.

Mei Fei was startled, her temples throbbing: "Mei Yue, put the sword down."

Mei Yue refused to listen and was even more unwilling to give up.

She had the opportunity to break through to the realm of a half-immortal, but Jiang Bin killed her relatives and friends, ruined her dignity, and destroyed Mei Yue's state of mind.

Otherwise, how could Mei Yue have fallen to such a state?

Mei Fei reached out and grabbed Mei Yue's arm, but was forcefully shaken away by a burst of profound energy, causing Mei Fei to stagger back several steps and nearly fall.

Mei Fei was furious; Mei Yue was utterly disrespectful!
