Chapter 54: Rock Sparrow "Rock Sparrow, are you getting senile?"...
The appearance of the demons caused quite a commotion among the crowd.
Han Kun widened his eyes, calmed his expression, and was the first to draw his sword, aiming it in the direction of the black shadow. The other disciples followed suit, and some even reached out from their waists to take out lighting talismans. The sky, which had been dark for a long time, suddenly became bright, illuminating the face of the man lying on the ground.
The man had a sinister look in his eyes, and a long scar across his right eye made him look even more vicious.
Black energy emerged from the hand that was covering his knees, and blatantly wrapped around Jiang Shutong's wrist along with the sword, but was knocked back by the sword energy when it was an inch away from the hilt.
"Now that all the disciples of the Lotus Mist Sect have gathered here, you have no way to retreat." Jiang Shutong's brows furrowed as the sword in his hand moved closer to his forehead. His voice was slightly cold as he spoke, "Elder Yanque, at this point, are you still unwilling to fully disclose the demon clan's intentions?"
"Yanque... Elder Yanque? He is the Yanque Elder of the Demon Clan?!" A cry of surprise came from the crowd. The disciples showed fear on their faces and retreated together.
Han Kun swallowed his saliva, his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he forced himself to stay at the front.
Today, the demon clan is in decline and its strength is not as strong as before, but as an elder of the demon clan, Yanque's strength is still not something that their group of young disciples can fight against.
What's more, unlike other elders, Yanque is a sinister person and a medicine cultivator who is very good at sneak attacks. If you are not careful when standing next to him, you may be poisoned to death.
Yanque swept his eyes over the crowd with a stern look, then suddenly grinned, "Look at you, what are you afraid of? I just stumbled into this place and got lost. The Wax Apple Sect is full of masters and powerful. How dare I have any evil intentions?"
As he spoke, Yan Que raised his hand and pinched the sword that Jiang Shutong was pointing at him, moving it away a little bit. He stared at him sarcastically and said word by word, "Don't you agree, Sect Leader Jiang?"
After saying that, Yanque glanced at Jiang Lin's face inadvertently.
Jiang Lin had not yet abdicated, and the succession ceremony for the Sect Leader had not yet begun, but Yan Que addressed Jiang Shutong as the Sect Leader to his face, which was nothing short of a humiliation to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin's face turned pale, and he suppressed his anger so as not to explode on the spot. "Yan Que, are you getting senile and confused?"
Yan Que feigned surprise and let out a cry of surprise, his expression devoid of any apology. "It's my fault, it's my fault. I forgot that although Sect Leader Jiang Lin is old and frail, and about to pass away, he still occupies the position of Sect Leader."
"Yanque, don't go too far." Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes, hinting at a warning.
Seeing that Jiang Lin was about to get angry, Yanque licked the corner of his lips with an unsatisfied look and stopped talking.
Jiang Shutong put his two fingers together, drew a talisman and stuck it on Yanque, called two disciples to lift him up, and turned back to ask Jiang Lin's opinion.
Jiang Lin glanced at Yanque lightly and looked away, as if looking at him any longer would pollute his eyes. "Put him in the dungeon. I will gather all the leaders to interrogate him in two days."
Jiang Shutong nodded and waved to the two disciples, "Take them away."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Jiang Lin and said, "It's late at night. Master, please don't take Yanque's words to heart. In Shutong's heart, Master is like a father. Shutong will definitely do his best to serve Master."
"Yeah." Jiang Lin nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the door.
When passing by Yanque, Yanque curled her lips at him. Jiang Lin paused, and his expression instantly returned to calm. He did not pay any more attention to this person, stepped over the threshold without hesitation, and closed the door.
Jiang Shutong shifted his gaze from the door, put away the spiritual weapon in his hand, looked at the disciples gathered together, and said calmly, "This matter has been resolved. Brothers, please return to your duties and do not linger here any longer."
"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang..." After that, the crowd dispersed, and the lighting fires maintained by spiritual power went out inch by inch, gradually returning to the usual silence of the late night.
When the last disciple was about to leave, Jiang Shutong suddenly called out to him.
This disciple was just an ordinary registered disciple. When he heard Jiang Shutong calling him, he turned around in disbelief and asked, "Senior Brother, are you calling me?"
Jiang Shutong didn't say much. He drew a few strokes in the air with his spiritual power and signaled his disciples to raise their hands.
When the disciple stretched out his hand and revealed his palm, the pattern drawn in the air flashed and fell on the disciple's hand.
Jiang Shutong said in a cold voice, "Tailbird is very cunning. I'm worried that the dungeon won't be able to trap him. This talisman can strengthen the seal. Go to the dungeon and place it where the Talbird is."
The disciple clenched his palms, bowed, and said, "I will follow your instructions, Senior Brother. I will do it right away."
Jiang Shutong nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Jiang Shutong didn't take a step forward until the inner disciples' figures were about to disappear into the night.
Xie Wuyang squatted on the tree for half the night. After the farce was over, he completely lost interest. Just as he was about to jump down from the tree, his peripheral vision suddenly caught Jiang Shutong's gaze towards them.
Xie Wuyang paused and got stuck on the tree.
"Follow that disciple." Yun Wanzhou's voice came to my ears.
When Xie Wuyang came to his senses and looked at Jiang Shutong again, he was no longer there. The glance he gave seemed like a fleeting illusion.
Xie Wuyang frowned, thinking of the jade tassel that Yun Wanzhou deliberately left for Jiang Shutong, and became more and more convinced that Jiang Shutong knew that he and Yun Wanzhou had infiltrated the Lianwu Sect.
I just don’t know whether Jiang Shutong knows that Jiang Lin has secretly kept a spiritual weapon with the power of the Nightmare Stone, and what role he plays in it?
…
Wax Apple Gate Dungeon.
It is dark, empty and lonely.
There was a long corridor of cells that stretched as far as the eye could see. Along the way, Xie Wuyang saw many people from the demon clan.
They seemed to have been locked up for a long time, their bodies and minds had long been numb, they huddled decadently in the corner of the cell, their messy and dirty hair covering their faces, and only their dull and lifeless eyes could be seen through their hair.
Perhaps because of Rock Sparrow's special identity, he was locked up in the innermost cell. Thick iron chains were used to tie his limbs to a cross, making him unable to move.
After the Lianwu disciples went in, they did not dare to stay for long. They hurriedly cast the talisman given by Jiang Shutong and left the dungeon, leaving only Xie Wuyang and Yun Wanzhou.
They still had invisibility spells on them, so Rock Sparrow couldn't see them. He tried to struggle against the chains, but when it failed, he stopped, closed his eyes, and leaned against the cross, showing no fear at all.
Xie Wuyang silently used his spiritual power to detect the surrounding atmosphere. After making sure that there were no outsiders except those in the dungeon, he removed the invisibility spell. While Rock Sparrow had not yet reacted, he put his index fingers together and touched Rock Sparrow's forehead, exerting spiritual power.
Nascent Soul stage.
Not someone from Luohua Snow Mountain.
Xie Wuyang shook his head with regret.
Yanque suddenly opened his eyes wide, a look of horror on his face, "Who are you?"
Xie Wuyang didn't reply. He frowned and looked Yanque up and down before suddenly speaking, "The Demon Realm has no chance of winning against the Immortal Sect, yet now there are frequent unusual movements. Even the Yanque elder has come out in person. What exactly is he plotting in Lianwu?"
At this point, Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes, "Or rather, what position does Jiang Lin, the leader of the Lotus Mist Sect, occupy in the overall situation of your Demon Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Yanque's expression changed, "What exactly are you planning?"
Yun Wanzhou's spell had not yet been lifted, so Xie Wuyang could not see him. However, perhaps Yun Wanzhou intended to let Xie Wuyang know that he was beside him. Xie Wuyang could hear the slight rise and fall of his breathing, and he felt more confident when facing Elder Yanque.
"If I'm not mistaken, the matter between you, the demon clan, and Jiang Lin is about the succession ceremony of the Lianwu Sect Leader, right?"
