Chapter 101
Jiujun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed to Su Jinzhou, "Immortal Venerable, I don't know what my brother did wrong. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"
She lowered her head and winked at Huan Mang, who was helpless and said, "Alright, what are you doing right after we meet?"
Ji Tang's soul tail fell behind Su Jinzhou and shook.
Su Jinzhou then waved his hand to disperse the ice that had covered a thousand miles, and ice cubes fell down.
The sharpness in Jiuxiao's eagle eyes suddenly diminished. It was true that he was in the fusion stage, but the person standing in front of him was the Immortal Venerable Bian Jing who was already in the tribulation stage. No matter how powerful his aura or how sharp his eyes were, they had to be restrained.
Su Jinzhou lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at him: "You should be more careful when you look at people with those eyes."
He bowed and said, "Yes, Immortal Venerable."
The dragon clan is arrogant by nature, and Jiuxiao is the best among them. However, no matter how arrogant he is, he has to shrink his head in the face of strength.
He quickly went through his mind and found no memory related to "Nine Water Depths". It was as if this person appeared out of thin air.
Who could have thought that someone as arrogant as Huan Mang would actually recognize a young cultivator who was only in the enlightenment period as his sister, not to mention the obvious protective behavior of the Immortal Venerable.
It's really puzzling.
Even after everyone had sat down around the table, he still couldn't figure it out.
Huanmang took the initiative to take on the task of making tea. As soon as the tea was brewed, he poured it for Jiujun first, then for Jitang, then for Sujinzhou, and finally for Jiuxiao.
Jiuxiao could tell the status of the people at this table in Huanmang's heart from the order in which tea was poured.
According to the rules, Huanmang should pour tea for the Immortal Lord first.
However, he and Su Jinzhou have a special relationship. Since Jiujun is before Su Jinzhou, Su Jinzhou will not feel dissatisfied.
Half of his relationship with Su Jinzhou was due to Yan Zun, who was the bond that held them together. The other half was due to their long-standing interactions, so it was understandable that they were close.
This is also the reason why Huanmang doesn't care about the rules.
But after Jiujun, Huanmang skipped Su Jinzhou and himself and went straight to pour tea for his newly recognized sister, which made him think deeply.
What kind of sister could be ranked before Su Jinzhou?
Just as Jiuxiao was about to investigate further, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
The Thousand Miles of Ice that Immortal Venerable Bian Jing had just given him seemed to still have some effect, reminding him to be careful with his eyes all the time.
Jiuyun looked at Jitang curiously, "How deep is Jiushui?"
Jitang nodded slightly in response.
She seemed to be chatting casually, "How did you and Brother Huanmang know each other?"
In fact, it is also an eavesdropping.
It would be a real headache if Jiuyun was still as naive as she was when she was a child after thousands of years.
She was much gentler than his brother, and her eyes were clear and gentle, so the question was not annoying.
Ji Tang: "I met my brother near Jiu Ming Yuan."
Jiujun turned to Huanmang and said, "You went to Jiumingyuan, why didn't you take me with you?"
Huan Mang said, "I went there and came back the same day. I went there for the remaining soul in my mother's body. I will tell you the details later."
Jiujun: "Okay, but have you found a way?"
Huan Mang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Yes, the residual soul in mother's body has been taken out."
Jiujun was very surprised, "Really? That's great! I'm going to go see my mother later!"
Huan Mang's eyes softened considerably, "Okay."
Ji Tang watched the two of them interacting silently for a while, then winked at Su Jinzhou.
Her brother, who has a bit of rough features, is a tough guy with a soft heart when it comes to emotions.
Jiujun asked Jitang again, "Why did my sister go to Jiumingyuan?"
This question is simple. Ji Tang said: "I am from the Nightmare Clan."
Jiujun immediately understood why Huanmang took her in as his sister.
As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog, Huanmang thought of Jitang through her.
Jiujun whispered to Huanmang, "Since you have acknowledged this girl, we must treat her well. Don't just treat her as Jitang's substitute."
Huan Mang was at a loss for words, "That doesn't make any sense. No way."
He tapped the table with his fingers. "Let's get down to business. I estimate that the Young City Lord of Dengtian City will be here soon. Jiuxiao, you can stay with me for the time being. When he arrives, we will be able to deal with him better."
Jiu Xiao said coldly, "What good is there in being with someone who's only concerned with power and scheming?"
This sentence is similar to what Jitang said.
She smiled, attracting Jiuxiao's attention.
Huan Mang: "Putting everything else aside, he already has more information about his identity as the Young Master of Dengtian City than we do. We should share what we have. Who said we want to be with him?"
Jiu Xiao, "Without sufficient benefits and interests, how much information can he tell you? You have a big head, but a small brain. If you really go against him, he will strip you of your underwear in just a few words, and you may not be able to get a single word out of him."
"Rude!" Huanmang slammed the table. "I'm not alone. Don't I still have you?!"
Jiu Xiao sneered: "Can I do it?"
Jitang: ...
You don't have to be so honest.
Huan Mang pointed at Ji Tang and Su Jin Zhou, "And my sister and Su Jin Zhou, what do you have to worry about?!"
This time Jiu Xiao didn't say anything.
Ji Tang was happy in his heart, but his expression was still serious. "The deeper he investigated, the more he realized that the person behind the black-clothed believers was difficult to deal with."
Her soul power had been exploring outside, and now it was attached to Su Jinzhou. "Has the Lord of Dengtian City come out of seclusion?"
Su Jinzhou replied: "No."
She continued, "The Lord of Dengtian City has been in seclusion for so long, most likely facing a life-or-death situation. Without the Lord to keep him in check, even if Chu Jinhuai finds more masters, they can only fight against the Fusion Stage, but can they fight against the Void Stage or the Great Perfection Stage? Not to mention the Tribulation Stage."
"That's why he came to us on his own initiative. He needs your strength."
Jiuxiao's brows furrowed like a small mountain, "Who is the person behind the black-clothed believer? Why is he talking about the Tribulation Period?" After he said that, he quickly glanced at Su Jinzhou.
Ji Tang couldn't answer this question in his current identity, so Su Jinzhou continued, "We don't know the details of that person yet, but his cultivation is profound and should not be underestimated."
Jiu Xiao was surprised: "Even the Immortal Venerable finds this difficult?"
The mastermind behind this was able to severely injure Ji Tang with just one clone, and Su Jinzhou would not be his opponent.
He said truthfully, "It's not a difficult problem, but it's hard for me to win against him."
The color on Jiuxiao's face disappeared completely with these words.
"What do you mean, even someone in the Tribulation Crossing Stage wouldn't stand a chance against him?"
Su Jinzhou nodded, "It's very likely."
Jiu Xiao looked blankly: "...Then who in this world can beat him?"
His unintentional words were taken to heart by Jitang.
She concentrated her thoughts and her expression became more and more solemn.
Su Jinzhou followed her spiritual power and asked, "What did you think of?"
Ji Tang didn't dare to express his guess for a moment.
Su Jinzhou waited for her patiently.
Ji Tang organized her words several times before saying, "Brother, we are the ones who have mastered the highest principles of the cultivation world. Who could be the one who can't even defeat us?" She strained her lips, "Didn't that immortal soul-binding orb already tell us about it?"
Su Jinzhou stared at her, "You mean the fairyland?"
Jitang nodded.
The matter was of great importance, so Ji Tang only dared to tell his guess to Su Jinzhou.
Once this news gets out, it will definitely cause an unprecedented huge wave in the world of cultivation, and the entire world of cultivation will never have peace again.
Ji Tang: "This is what our ancestors passed down. Cultivators who ascend to become immortals are not allowed to return to the world of cultivation except through reincarnation."
She expressed her doubts, "Could that clone I fought with be the clone of a certain immortal in the immortal world? Because he couldn't return to the cultivation world, he found a way to send his clone here. This would explain why I was no match for that clone!"
Su Jinzhou said, "Qiu Runfang said that the Soul-Binding Orb is the token used by the 'Master' to determine their location and communicate with them." He suggested, "Why don't we start investigating this magic weapon? Perhaps we can find a way to find his location."
Jitang thought it was feasible and nodded again.
At this moment, Huan Mang was wondering, "If Chu Jinhuai comes, will he directly form an alliance with us?"
"Yes." Ji Tang raised his eyes.
Jiu Xiao: "Are you so sure?" He had many doubts about Ji Tang, but Huan Mang and Su Jinzhou didn't want to introduce her any further, so he had no choice even though he was anxious.
Ji Tang: "Alliance is worthless to him. As long as there is a benefit, he will form an alliance with anyone. What matters is whether he can get what he wants from you. If he thinks you are not worth it, then the alliance is just a casual talk. If you expect him to pay anything at that time, it will be impossible."
After she finished speaking, she smiled like a good student, "Xianzun, is that what you said?"
Su Jinzhou smiled indulgently.
Jiu Xiao frowned. "Our goals are very clear. First, we want to get more information about the Black-Cloaked Followers from him, and second, we want to join forces to deal with the person behind the scenes. Although we have the same goal, what if he withdraws midway?"
Su Jinzhou said flatly: "Absolutely impossible."
A thousand years ago, the Nightmare Clan fought against various sects of cultivation. The cultivator sent by Chu Jinhuai to help Ji Tang withdrew halfway, and the cooperation came to an abrupt end at the most important moment. He put Ji Tang in trouble, and Su Jinzhou never forgot this incident.
If he does the same this time, Su Jinzhou will take his life directly.
If he dares to withdraw, he will be stripped of his skin and bones.
A dark light flashed in Su Jinzhou's eyes, and the familiar feeling came from his wrist again.
It seemed like countless insects appeared on the wrist, their legs buried deep under the flesh, crawling up the arm bit by bit.
With each surge, his flesh was a whirlwind of ice and fire. Biting cold and searing heat alternated, rolling heavily over his skin, constantly pulling at him. It was as if many hands reached out from hell, yanking him deeper into the abyss, forcing him to succumb to his inner demons, preferably immediately.
Ji Tang was the first to notice his abnormality, and then noticed his half-covered and half-exposed arm.
She placed her hand on his wrist, and just as her soul power was about to flow in, it was gently pushed back by an even more vast soul power.
Su Jinzhou's voice appeared in the sea of consciousness, "I'll come."
Ji Tang was worried. She kept staring at Su Jinzhou's wrist until the black lines retreated from the cuffs and finally disappeared from his skin.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, negative emotions are most likely to cause the inner demon to explode. Don't think too much."
Su Jinzhou turned his wrist, turning the passive position into active one, and nodded on the back of Jitang's hand, "Okay."
On the other hand, Jiuxiao felt relieved after hearing that he had Su Jinzhou.
After all, what's the point of ascending to Tiancheng?
The Immortal Lord is in their camp. Not to mention taking on a city by himself, even taking on the entire world of cultivation is not a difficult task.
Only then did he calm down and concentrate on drinking tea.
