Chapter 21: You can encounter a dragon's tail even if you just stroll around.
"Master, the matter has been completed."
Jiang Jiu trembled under the fiery gazes of the elders. The key point was that she felt guilty about Bai Ze, and she felt that these looks were quite meaningful.
"You can stay at the main peak tonight and return to Qingyun Peak later."
Jiang Jiu knew that Ji Chen wanted her to help keep an eye on these outsiders, and secretly searched for Bai Ze in Jueyun Sect. If he broke in, he might get into trouble.
"Okay, Master."
Jiang Jiu's resentment towards Bai Ze increased. If it weren't for the commotion it caused, she would still be lying in the yard.
Why bother using it, which is at the Foundation Establishment stage, to monitor a group of guys who are starting from the Golden Core stage and aiming for the God Transformation stage?
"Master, the divine beast Bai Ze was born. As a disciple who entered the Tianji Sword Tomb with Jiang Jiu, why didn't you ask her?"
The third elder finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
Although the other elders were somewhat surprised that the Third Elder pointed it out directly, they all remained silent. No one wanted to be the first to offend Sect Leader Ji Chen. Since the Third Elder was willing, they were happy to sit back and reap the benefits.
"What's it to you?"
Ji Chen has always disdained the provocations of the Third Elder, but at this moment the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.
As the leader of the number one sect in the world of cultivation, he inherited the legacy of the Sword Immortal. His cultivation had been unfathomable many years ago, but he had never been interested in worldly affairs or power.
He has always remained calm in the face of provocation, but now he is angry because of ginger wine.
The oppressive feeling created by Ji Chen made it difficult for everyone in the hall to breathe, as if they were carrying a jack on their backs, unable to move an inch.
Except ginger wine.
She just felt that the atmosphere had changed, and she looked at Ji Chen with some surprise. She didn't expect that Ji Chen would actually defend her.
This was the first time in decades that the Third Elder had faced Ji Chen's true strength. He was extremely shocked. Obviously, he thought that Ji Chen should not have cultivated to such a terrifying level.
But now that I have spoken, I cannot return empty-handed.
"This matter concerns the reputation of the Juetian Sect. We cannot allow the Sect Master to act recklessly."
Ji Chen frowned slightly, and soon returned to his graceful appearance, but his expression became even gloomier.
Jiang Jiu also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, and hiding it would only lead to him being targeted.
Anyway, Bai Ze's long spear is in her dantian. She doesn't show her natal weapon to others easily, so no one can guess that Bai Ze's soul will be attached to the weapon.
Although I don't know why they can't find the cave where Bai Ze's halberd is, but if we use that place as a pretext, there shouldn't be any problem.
"I have indeed seen Bai Ze."
As soon as Jiang Jiu finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.
The Third Elder couldn't hide his ecstatic expression for a moment, but he regained his composure in an instant, but the greed in his eyes could not be hidden.
A flash of emotion, whether it was blame or disappointment, appeared in Ji Chen's eyes, and he retracted his outward aura.
The other elders also stared at Jiang Jiu, wondering what she was going to say.
"But the beast has already left, and all that remains is the cave where he once rested."
Jiang Jiu vaguely remembered that there were a lot of treasures in it. Last time, she was in a hurry to find Xiao Nianzhong and forgot to take it back. Now she feels a little sad when she thinks about it.
But speaking out now can help you solve various subsequent trivial problems.
Jiang Jiu resolutely chose to give it up.
Anyway, I don’t know when I will enter the Tianji Sword Tomb next time. God knows how long those fish and plum trees can survive without Bai Ze.
"Okay, okay. In that case, I will go to the cave and explore it myself."
It is easy to imagine how many treasures there are in the place where the divine beast rests, and maybe there is even a chance to ascend to heaven. Thinking of this, the soul of the third elder is about to fly into the Tianji Sword Tomb.
As for the departure of the divine beast, perhaps Jiang Jiu just lied to prevent them from snatching the opportunity. It is not credible and must be seen with one's own eyes.
"Since Jiang Jiu discovered it, no one else can take it away."
Ji Chen spoke lightly, as if he could see through the elders' hypocritical greed.
"How could we snatch the opportunities from the younger generation? Besides, with her strength, she can't get them all. It's better to ask the elders for help."
The third elder spoke in a sanctimonious manner, perhaps because he felt guilty, he didn't even look at Jiang Jiu the whole time.
"It's okay, Master, let them go."
Jiang Jiu shook her head and winked at Ji Chen, trying to make Ji Chen understand her thoughts, then turned to the third elder and spoke.
"There are many good things in it. I don't ask the elder to return them all, but could you please leave some as a reward for providing clues?"
Hearing Jiang Jiu say this, the Third Elder's face immediately turned red, but he was delighted to confirm that there was indeed a treasure inside.
Perhaps it was because he received the signal from Jiang Jiu, but Ji Chen turned back into the aloof and elegant lady who was detached from the world.
"half."
Ji Chen looked calmly at the elders who were ready to make a move, and his tone was calm but subtly putting pressure on them.
"That's natural."
The Great Elder also stood up at this time. Since they all wanted to get a piece of the pie, they couldn't let the Third Elder bear the pressure alone.
He used a look to drive away the greedy Third Elder who was about to continue the discussion, and smiled kindly at Jiang Jiu.
"Thanks to the master's disciples for being sensible, once we have thoroughly investigated the matter, we can also give an explanation to the other forces."
Jiang Jiu responded expressionlessly.
She hated this kind of hypocritical relationship the most, but seeing Ji Chen defending her like this, Jiang Jiu felt a little strange.
Ji Chen's unconditional support and protection for her gave Jiang Jiu the confidence to overcome her social anxiety and say these words.
Then Jiang Jiu drew the route to the cave and gave it to them.
It's just that her drawing was too abstract. She could see that the Great Elder's expression twisted for a moment after he took the map.
Jiang Jiu was also a little embarrassed. She really didn't mean it.
She has been ugly at drawing since she was a child, the kind that can make art teachers cry. Even the most ordinary simple drawings can be made very funny by her.
...
By the time Jiang Jiu left the sect hall, the moonlight was already hanging on the branches outside.
The main peak shrouded in mist is truly like a fairyland. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the palace. No wonder people in the world are seeking immortality.
The sects in the world of cultivation are so beautiful. I wonder what kind of life the gods in the nine heavens lead.
Jiang Jiu usually stays at Qingyun Peak. After traveling through time, she once again faced human nature at such close range, and she was in a very bad mood.
He had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery, but just sighed.
"well."
This is also the reason why she is socially anxious. She hates flattery and intrigue.
After being cheated a few times, I became isolated and just wanted to live happily every day.
She now has Ji Chen, the head of the sect, to protect her. How miserable would those disciples be if they met a treacherous master?
Jiang Jiu did not immediately go back to the guest hall to ask the waiter for a room.
Instead, take a walk around the main peak to relieve your emo mood.
The pebbled road was covered with faint silver flakes, and Jiang Jiu unknowingly approached the edge of a pond.
The sparkling water under the moonlight is breathtakingly beautiful.
It would look better if there wasn't a dragon's tail inside to spoil the view.
Jiang Jiu looked at the green tail with a complicated expression. A dragon had sneaked into the Juetian Sect, and it went without saying who it belonged to.
