Chapter 450: Bloody Investing
The Xuan sect disciple echoed, "Besides, the zombies were released by your Jiang clan. They caused such heavy casualties. Isn't it your responsibility to subdue them?"
"As for how to deal with the wandering corpses, the Lord of the East Territory will make the decision!"
Murong Jinran gently pulled Jiang Ci and whispered, "Master Jiang, I think we should just forget it. The Lord of the East Territory is not easy to mess with. The ten great families all have to listen to him. If they want the wandering corpses, just give them to them."
Jiang Ci thought for a moment, "Oh, really..."
"Okay, I'll give it to you then."
When Master Xuanzhen signaled his disciples to take the wandering corpse away.
The talisman attached to the zombie suddenly flew away.
"Looking for death!" The wandering corpse gained its freedom and instantly jumped up, twisting the heads of two Xuan school disciples one by one with its palm, and then fled into the darkness like a monkey without looking back.
The two heads rolled to the feet of Master Xuanzhen, and he was completely dumbfounded.
"You, you did it on purpose!" Xuan Zhen Tianshi said angrily, "You deliberately took off the talisman and caused the tragic death of my disciples!"
Jiang Ci said calmly: "There are so many eyes watching me, but I didn't move."
"Besides, didn't you want to take the zombie away? Who can you blame if you were beaten to death without the ability?"
"You!" Xuan Zhen Tianshi was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and he looked into the darkness unwillingly.
The wandering corpse has long disappeared.
"Going against the Lord of the East Territory, I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
"Let's go!"
Master Xuanzhen and the disciples of the Xuan school left.
The Great Elder looked at Jiang Ci, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Jiang Ci was too lazy to talk to them and turned around to chase the zombies.
Meng Shian followed her silently.
Just as Murong Jinran was about to leave, he was stopped by the Great Elder.
"Student Murong, what is the origin of this Venerable Jiang?" the Great Elder asked her.
Murong Jinran smiled and said, "Great Elder, I'm sorry, if you want to know, you can only ask Master Jiang."
The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "Her behavior today has obviously offended the Lord of the East Region. If she wants to stay in the East Region smoothly, I have a suggestion."
Murong Jinran looked as if he saw through him, "Could it be that the Great Elder wants to recruit Master Jiang as his own?"
"That's right." The Great Elder nodded: "Only if Venerable Jiang is allowed to enter Shanhai College, the Lord of the East Region will not make things too difficult for her."
Murong Jinran was well aware of Jiang Ci's strength. She didn't even take the Shanhai Academy or the top ten families into consideration.
Lord of the East Region?
Judging from Master Jiang's expression, he probably didn't take it seriously either.
"Great Elder, we are all straightforward people. Tell the truth. Did you see that the Xuan Sect has the protection of the Lord of the East Region, so you want to recruit Master Jiang for your own use?"
The Great Elder looked embarrassed for a moment, "Ahem, this old man is also for the good of our Shanhai College. Student Murong, you are a student of Shanhai College and a member of the Student Union. You have to think about the college and not be so servile."
Murong Jinran shook his head and said righteously: "I am a disciple of Shanhai College, but I am no longer a member of the Student Union. Besides, I don't think Master Jiang is interested in Shanhai College."
"You just need to tell her that as long as she is willing to come to Shanhai College, she can choose the position of professor or elder!"
"If you really don't like her, you can give her the position of vice president!"
Murong Jinran was shocked, "This..."
"Not only that, as long as you can convince Venerable Jiang, I will give you the position of president of the Shanhai Student Union." The great elder promised directly.
Murong Jinran's eyes widened, "Great Elder, you are spending a lot of money."
"What about Jiang Yi?"
"I don't have a disciple like that who would desert the battlefield!" The Great Elder was filled with resentment when he mentioned Jiang Yi.
Murong Jinran had no choice but to say, "I can tell Master Jiang, but I think it's almost impossible to succeed."
The Great Elder said earnestly, "I can see that Venerable Jiang is not from the Jiang Clan. If she were alone, she would not be able to survive in the vast Eastern Region or even the Middle Thousand Worlds. I tried to persuade her with kind words, and she knew the stakes involved."
Murong Jinran was silent.
The Great Elder is right.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, it is very difficult to survive alone.
As long as you have someone to back you up, at least you'll have a way out when you're in desperate situations.
After saying goodbye to the Great Elder, Murong Jinran followed and found Jiang Ci.
At this time, Jiang Ci subdued the wandering corpse again.
The zombie was kneeling on the ground with a bruised face and nose, looking like he had been severely beaten.
She was surprised: "This..."
Meng Shian said proudly: "He still wants to run, but Master Jiang has already planted a curse on him, so he can't get far."
Murong Jinran took a deep breath and told Jiang Ci exactly what the Great Elder had told her.
"Master Jiang, I think what the Great Elder said makes some sense."
"After what happened tonight, Master Xuanzhen will definitely exaggerate and discredit you in front of the East Territory Lord. Although Shanhai College's status is not as high as that of the East Territory Lord, it still has some face in front of the East Territory Lord."
"Then let Dean Shanhai step in to mediate, and this matter will surely be resolved from a big matter to a small one."
Jiang Ci laughed sarcastically: "It's all for the sake of profit. If I were just an ordinary Xuanshi today, would the Great Elder still invite me so cordially?"
Murong Jinran was speechless for a moment.
"If you want me to join Shanhai College, you will definitely not let me do it for free. I have to at least give something to be worthy of the great elder's painstaking efforts."
"But never mind." Jiang Ci smiled faintly, "I'm used to being alone."
“Cattle and sheep travel in herds, but tigers walk alone.”
Murong Jinran looked at her who was so confident and outspoken, and suddenly felt regretful that he should not have helped the Great Elder to pass on the message.
Master Jiang is extremely capable, and even if she fights alone, she can fight against everyone.
It seemed that no matter how great the danger was, she could easily resolve it in front of Master Jiang.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about having a backer.
Because Master Jiang is her biggest supporter!
There was a hint of excitement in Murong Jinran's eyes. She saw in Master Jiang that a sense of security is never obtained by relying on others. Only when one becomes strong can one have the greatest sense of security.
"Master Jiang, I understand. I will tell the Great Elder."
Jiang Ci hummed calmly, looked at the zombie kneeling on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Still running?"
The zombies had a stress reaction when they heard her voice and trembled all over.
Murong Jinran had never seen such a cowardly zombie, and it was an evolved and extremely ferocious wandering zombie.
Thinking about how scary and rampant the zombies were in the villa just now, and then looking at them now, they are so cowardly.
It's like two different beings.
The zombie shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I fell into your hands again. I accept my fate."
"You can kill me or chop me up, just give me a quick death."
