"Halt! Curfew has been imposed. Please return to your homes, or you will be punished according to Ancheng law!"
Jiang Yuan arrived at the city gate using his superb stealth skills, but he could only leave through the city gate if he destroyed the city's defense system. So even though it was already dawn, he still had to bite the bullet and leave the city.
"It's you again!"
Before Jiang Yuan even got close, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"It's you!" Jiang Yuan hadn't expected to run into Jiang Nian here and could only marvel at the wonder of fate.
"It's all because of you that I got transferred, and now I'm back here!" Jiang Nian muttered in dissatisfaction. Her gaze was deep, and a thought flashed through her mind. She transmitted her voice and said, "You're not trying to run away because you don't have the medical skills, are you?"
It was no secret that Xiao Hei had found a mysterious person to treat the Jiang family elders, and Jiang Nian, having watched Xiao Hei chase after Jiang Yuan, naturally guessed who the person who came to treat the elders was.
"Whatever you say, I'm leaving the city now anyway!" Jiang Yuan said, glancing at Jiang Nian before continuing, "I don't think I need to reveal my identity, right?"
There are fewer restrictions on leaving the city, especially at night. Many mercenaries choose to leave the city at night because this is the easiest time for wild spirit beasts to hunt. Although the danger is much higher, killing more spirit beasts means becoming stronger faster.
"Step back and submit to inspection!"
The armed soldiers stepped forward and looked at Jiang Yuan warily.
Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "Alright, let's test the power of this clone first!"
He bought two items from the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce. The first item was the Huatai Pill, which creates clones. As long as one takes this pill, the body will split into a clone that is exactly the same as the original body within half an hour. The clone will even have all the abilities of the original body, including consciousness, for up to an hour. The consciousness will only return to the original body when the clone's duration expires or the body dies.
Jiang Yuan calmly walked past the detector. This time, because Wei Yue had already woken up, all her auras were perfectly concealed, and the detector did not find anything suspicious.
"Alright!" Jiang Yuan spread his hands, appearing very cooperative.
"Show your ID card. Only those at the Heavenly Spirit Realm are allowed to leave the city at night. Everyone else must wait until dawn!" the soldier explained sternly.
Here we go again!
Jiang Yuan found this interrogation annoying, but he couldn't force his way in, so he could only show his temporary identity card along with his military rank.
"Greetings, sir!"
The guards were regular members of the Tianfu Military Region, and they all saluted upon seeing Jiang Yuan's identity.
"Relying on their fathers' spoiled ways!" Jiang Nian gritted her teeth in anger. Although she had long known that this kind of status would be different in Tianfu, she was only convinced when she saw the Tianfu troops saluting with reverence.
"Little sister, you need to be more discerning in the future. Blindly righteousness can easily lead to trouble!"
Jiang Yuan gave Jiang Nian a special reminder as he passed by on his way out of the city.
"Mind your own business! Be careful not to get carried away by a spirit beast if you go out of town at night!" Jiang Nian retorted.
"No need for you to worry about that!"
Jiang Yuan left the city without any trouble, and soon after he arrived at the Xuanmen Slope that the Holy Spirit Clan had mentioned. However, as he approached, his Death God Heart gave him a direct warning of danger.
"They set up a grand formation beforehand; it seems they really don't intend to make things easy for me!" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Fortunately, he had made preparations before coming.
"I can't believe you actually dared to come!"
Before Jiang Yuan could speak, an unparalleled aura suddenly pressed down on him, almost forcing him to his knees.
It was quite obvious who the visitor was: Wei Yue's grandfather, Wei Shitian.
"I, Qingmu, don't know what fear is!" Jiang Yuan was unusually calm. He was only sending a clone, so even if he was killed, the loss would not be significant. On the contrary, it would make it even more difficult for Wei Yue to rid herself of her inner demons.
"Where is my granddaughter?" Wei Shitian asked coldly.
"Give me what I want first, or I'm not sure if you'll ever see your precious granddaughter!" Since Jiang Yuan had come, he wasn't going to back down. So what if the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator? He would still threaten them as he saw fit.
"As expected of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, daring to be so arrogant in front of me!" Wei Shitian narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"I'll count to three. If you still haven't gotten your things, don't blame me!"
Wei Yue had previously said she would definitely help him get the ransom. Although it was impossible to determine her motives, what motives could she possibly have talking to a crazy woman about?
"three!"
"two!"
Without pausing, Jiang Yuan had already uttered the word "one" when Wei Shitian snorted coldly, and a storage ring flew over.
"call out!"
Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed the storage ring, but based on his years of experience, he knew there must be something wrong with it.
"Divine power!"
He transformed his divine energy into an arm, then blocked it before using his divine energy to open the storage ring from dozens of meters away. Just as he expected, a powerful Nascent Soul Realm soul force surged out when the storage ring opened. However, because Jiang Yuan had already separated his divine energy, the surging powerful soul force could not find a target and could only bombard the area indiscriminately.
"Trying to control me!" Jiang Yuan's body trembled, but his eyes were sharp.
If the soul power attack from the Nascent Soul Realm expert had been aimed at him, he might have already been controlled. Being controlled by a Nascent Soul Realm expert, the probability of breaking free is almost zero.
"Warning enough!" A strange light flashed in Wei Shitian's eyes. He thought he had overestimated his opponent, but he did not expect that his opponent could handle him, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, with ease. This was quite extraordinary.
