Chapter 163
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Huanmang came to find Jitang for breakfast.
Jitang was sleepy and said "good morning" to Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou was still leaning on the edge of the bed, staying with her all night. Their hands were still clasped together, neither of them willing to let go.
"Do I look good when I sleep?" Ji Tang smiled lazily at him.
Su Jinzhou moved closer to her, said nothing, and pointed behind him.
Ji Tang looked over and saw that the thin blanket that was supposed to cover his legs had become a cloak and was draped behind Su Jinzhou's black robe.
"...This color suits you quite well, senior brother." Jitang laughed dryly.
Su Jin Zhou Qing Well, this is the first time he heard that pink suits him.
Jitang let go of his hand first and sat up on the bed.
She performed the body-cleansing technique and pulled the person out.
Su Jinzhou pulled her back and said, "Huan Mang is outside."
Ji Tang finally reacted, "Then I'll go out first."
She removed the spiritual wall and said good morning to Huanmang outside.
"So well behaved," Huan Mang looked past her into the cave, "Su Jinzhou won't come out?"
He spoke so naturally that Ji Tang didn't know how to respond.
Huan Mang turned and left, "You just mentioned the contract-making ceremony. That Immortal Venerable must be overly excited. How can he leave obediently now?"
Ji Tang caught up with him, "Brother is really amazing, he can predict the future like a god, a god..."
"Come on, you flatter me whenever you feel guilty. Don't I know you?"
Jitang touched his nose and stopped talking.
Su Jinzhou was named by him and came out of the cave openly.
Huanmang rolled his eyes toward the sky.
The four of them gathered together for a meal. This meal was breakfast for Jitang and Su Jinzhou, and dinner for Huanmang and Huanyue.
There was a rich variety of food on the table. The light dishes were suitable for Ji Tang and Ji Tang, while the big fish and meat were prepared for Huan Mang and Huan Yue.
Ji Tang had no appetite in the morning. She had not needed to eat for a long time. She usually ate some spiritual food and fruits just to satisfy her taste buds. Now she would stop after eating two bites.
The dragon clan is different. It takes a lot of energy to transform into their original form. In addition to spiritual power, they also need food to supplement it.
Ji Tang watched his two brothers eat heartily. He was used to it and just said, "Brother, the Spring Flower Banquet is not over yet. My brother and I have to go back."
"Back so soon?" Huan Mang put down the spirit beast meat, thinking that the girl could stay in the mountains for a while longer.
Huan Mang moved his dissatisfied eyes to Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou didn't look at him. He drank his tea slowly and leisurely. Only after finishing it did he utter two words: "Taking out your anger?"
Huanmang snorted coldly.
Before he could speak, Jitang said, "Brother, you must tell me immediately when my stepmother wakes up!"
Huan Mang's attention was indeed diverted, and a smile appeared on his face. "Of course, we can get together properly then."
Huanyue spoke up at this moment, "The covenant ceremony between you and the Immortal Lord needs to be postponed for a while. When the Dragon Lord wakes up, tell her about it. She will surely be very happy."
“…” Jitang exchanged a glance with Huanyue silently.
If we talk about the most sinister person, it has to be Huanyue. She had just diverted Huanmang's attention, but his words fanned the flames again.
"Brother." This time she called Huanyue, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Huanyue smiled gently, seemingly unaware of her hint, "Hmm?"
Ji Tang simply turned the passive situation into the active one, "If you can't bear to let me go, just say it! Since both brothers are so reluctant to let me go, how about letting me stay on the mountain with you? It's a good opportunity to let me show my abilities. When he performs to your satisfaction, you can let him go down the mountain."
Huanyue: "..."
Huan Mang: "Who wants to let him stay on the mountain? Take him away quickly!"
If they left Su Jinzhou here alone, who knows how this Immortal Master would torment them.
Su Jinzhou is a very bad person. He appears to be calm and composed on the surface, but he is actually a black-hearted person. He restrains himself in front of Ji Tang. If Ji Tang is not around, no one can suppress this evildoer.
The two men who were reluctant to let Jitang go directly drove their sister and the Immortal Master away from Qingmang Yanyue Mountain.
Ji Tang just found it funny, "We have one Immortal Lord and one Nightmare Lord, yet we are still being chased down the mountain."
Su Jinzhou cut through the void, "Don't let me see them from Su Xuan Sect, or I will just throw them out of the sect."
Jitang's smile widened, "Isn't it childish?"
The two returned to Qianli Yanbo and saw Shaqi and Yebaidu sitting at the stone table drinking tea.
"Why didn't you go to the Spring Flower Banquet?" she asked.
"Come to your place and hang out," Shaqi said, drinking the tea in one gulp. He had no idea what tea tasting was. To him, as long as it quenched his thirst, it was good tea.
He rummaged through his storage ring for a moment, took out something and threw it to Ji Tang.
Ji Tang took it, opened his palm and saw that it was the mint herb candy commonly found on Haijinyunjian Island.
"I haven't eaten in a long time." It was okay if Jitang hadn't seen her, but she really missed him. She opened a piece and put it in her mouth, then asked vaguely, "Did you come here by sea dragon boat?"
Sharky glanced at her, "I have my own flying boat, why would I need to take that slow thing? I didn't buy it from the Sea Dragon Boat."
Although mint herbal candy is very common on Haijinyunjian Island, no matter how common it is, it cannot reach the waters of the sturgeon shark clan. He has to make a special trip to buy the candy.
Jitang felt warm in his heart, "Thank you very much."
Shark couldn't stand her politeness, "By the way, the Young Lord of Dengtian City and a female cultivator from the Qianjian Sect have both come to see you."
"Chu Jinhuai and Sang Niao." Jitang sat down.
"Yes, Niao Niao came to the Spring Flower Banquet this time just to pay her respects to you, Senior Sister." Gu Yan came over with a tea tray, "Senior Sister, would you like to try this tea? It was brought by Senior Ye Baidu and it's freshly brewed."
Ji Tang picked up the teacup with a smile, "What kind of tea does Yewangchuan have?"
Out of curiosity, Shaqi picked it up and tasted it.
Ye Baidu: "Tea that has been stored in the realm of the dead for forty-nine days has a strong yin energy."
"Puff!" The tea that Shark had just put into his mouth suddenly spurted out again.
Ye Baidu, who was sitting opposite him, wiped the water stains with a cold face.
Sharky waved his hands quickly, "Sorry, sorry."
Ji Tang was overjoyed. "You really believe it! Even if there really is Yin Qi, it should have dissipated after being released from Qianli Yanbo for a while. Why is there such a big reaction?"
Sharky thought so too, but still didn't want to touch the tea anymore. "This is just a subconscious reaction!"
Ye Baidu took the cup and drank it calmly, nodding slightly after finishing it, "Good tea."
Sharky looked strange.
Jitang shook his head in amusement.
*
Chu Jinhuai and Sang Niao came the next day.
Chu Jinhuai has always been the lofty young lord of Dengtian City, but once he comes in front of Jitang, he turns into a smiling fox.
When Jitang saw him, he naturally thought of the Lord of Dengtian City who was still in seclusion, "Has the Lord of Dengtian City come out of seclusion?"
Chu Jinhuai heard this and smiled slightly, "Not yet."
Even though it was a major hurdle, the Lord of Dengtian City had been in seclusion for too long.
Jitang seemed to be lost in thought.
There was a flicker of uneasiness in Chu Jinhuai's eyes. It sounded like he was explaining to Jitang, but in fact, it was more like comforting himself. "The path of cultivation has too many uncertainties. I just hope that my father can come out of seclusion smoothly."
Chu Jinhuai's emotions could not be hidden from Jitang, so she stopped talking about this topic and asked, "What brings you here this time?"
Chu Jinhuai restrained his expression, "Yanzun is still so direct."
He didn't beat around the bush. "After the Black Lord incident, although the formations throughout the cultivation world have been abandoned, leaving them standing is still disturbing. Our Ascending Heaven City has united with dozens of sects to form a formation-breaking team, intending to collaborate with the cultivators from other sects and palaces in Jiuzhou to break the formation."
"This matter has been reported to Sect Master Liu. He is very pleased and has agreed to send Suxuan Sect cultivators to join the formation-breaking team, but..."
Ji Tang guessed what he was going to say, "You want me to teach them how to break the formation?"
"Yes," Chu Jinhuai said sincerely, bowing deeply to her. "Yanzun has studied the formation set up by the black-robed lord quite a bit. If you can teach them a few things, it will surely increase the efficiency of breaking the formation and completely destroy it!"
"To be honest, we also want to do our best to help Lord Yan, but the overall formation outside the Suxuan Sect is too complicated, with restrictions that are linked together and difficult to understand. We really have no idea."
Ji Tang suddenly said, "Since you want to do your best, then please help repair the long steps outside Su Xuan Sect."
"Ah?" Chu Jinhuai was stunned. "Ah, well, that's no problem at all."
Jitang thought, her brother won’t slip again this time, right?
She didn't explain to Chu Jinhuai, but only asked: "Is there anyone who can break the formation among those who participated in the Spring Flower Banquet this time?"
Chu Jinhuai: "Yes, I also came here to break the formation this time, and I have already reached a tacit understanding with several sects and palaces."
Ji Tang raised the corner of his lips and said, "Young City Master Chu has a heart for the world, which is rare and precious. I will naturally do my part to help him."
Chu Jinhuai followed suit with a smile, "That's great! Lord Nightmare can take advantage of this Spring Flower Banquet to help us solve our doubts. Once the Spring Flower Banquet is over, I will go with all the fellow Taoists to various places in Jiuzhou to break the formation!"
"Okay, then the time will be decided by the Young City Lord. Once it's decided, come to Qianli Yanbo to find me."
Chu Jinhuai bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Nightmare. I will go and prepare for this matter first!"
Jitang watched Chu Jinhuai leave with a smile.
As soon as he left, Sang Niao, who was waiting on the side, came forward.
Jitang asked everyone to sit down and looked behind Sang Niao.
Sang Niao nodded to the people behind him, and the younger generations dared to move and saluted obediently.
Ji Tang's eyes fell on the younger generations, "They look familiar."
Sang Niao: "This is my disciple Ning Qiyao, and these two children are also disciples of my sect, Pu Yuanheng and Zhuang Cheng."
To be honest, Sang Niao and his group have some conflicts with Yan Zun.
Sang Niao was still okay, because she had the relationship with her brother Gu Yan, and the promise of Yan Zun on the magpie hairpin, so the little conflict between her and Yan Zun had long been over.
But Pu Yuanheng was not like that. He had bad intentions and made things difficult for the Nightmare Lord, who was still nine water deep at that time. He bullied her many times on Zhiyuan Mountain.
Whenever he thought of this, Pu Yuanheng couldn't sleep all night.
Not only him, but Ning Qiyao and Zhuang Cheng were not much better.
Ji Tang drawled out an "Oh," "I still have some impression of your little disciple and the little disciple who was almost scared to the point of peeing his pants, but I have no impression of this one at all."
She couldn't remember Zhuang Cheng.
Zhuang Cheng forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, nodded and bowed, and took the initiative to retreat to the back. He felt confused and didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
"It's you," Jitang looked at Pu Yuanheng, "I vaguely remember that when I was staying at the inn, I broke the furniture in someone's room, and it was you who paid for it. Oh, yes, you also paid for the accommodation that time."
Pu Yuanheng's head immediately shook like a rattle, "Then, Lord Yan Yan Yan, please don't mention those small amounts of money again!"
Ji Tang smiled and said, "It's only natural to pay back a debt. I forgot about this, but you don't think I'm refusing to pay, do you?"
"No, no, no, I dare not!" If Nightmare Lord had not mentioned it, Pu Yuanheng would have forgotten about it long ago.
I've always heard that Nightmare Lord holds a grudge. Could it be that Nightmare Lord mentioned this time to intentionally remind him of his excessive behavior at that time, and then find ways to make things difficult for him again?
Lord Nightmare is such a powerful being, he wouldn't necessarily seek revenge for any flaws, right?
His mind was working rapidly, and he was already thinking about kneeling down and begging for mercy.
However, the next second, many magic weapons appeared before his eyes.
He had never seen or even heard of these magic weapons!
But based on the rich spiritual power he felt, he knew that every magic weapon floating in the air was rare to find in the world!
Ji Tang raised his chin and said, "Pick it. This is my return to you."
"This..." Pu Yuanheng was almost drooling and his heart was pounding, but he really didn't dare to take any further action.
He looked at Sang Niao cautiously, with both help and expectation in his eyes.
Sang Niao nodded to him, "Yan Zun has said it all, choose."
With Sang Niao's words, Pu Yuanheng could no longer hold back! He looked at the magic treasure with the same look as if he saw a fairy descending to the earth. He was so greedy that he couldn't pull his eyes away.
This made Ning Qiyao and Zhuang Cheng extremely envious.
Sang Niao felt that her own sect's young disciple was somewhat embarrassing. She stopped looking at him with disdain and said respectfully, "Yanzun, the Young City Lord of Dengtian City didn't tell you the whole story just now. He joined forces with the sect and the palace for more than just breaking the formation."
Ji Tang held his chin in his hand, "Yeah, I guess. You know about the important meeting at Huanxi Garden, right?"
"I've heard something about it." Sang Niao didn't understand why Yan Zun suddenly mentioned this, but still answered.
"Chu Jinhuai had already shown his potential during that meeting. Whenever the sects and palaces had different opinions, he would act as a peacemaker, putting the safety of the cultivation world first, and letting everyone help each other and join forces to fight the enemy." Jitang said.
Sang Niao frowned, "This time he is also uniting everyone. In addition to breaking the Jiuzhou formation, he is also forming a cultivation alliance to eliminate the black-clad forces and the traitorous sects that defected to the black-clad lord."
She spoke her mind, "He's too ambitious. On the surface, he seems righteous, but what happens over time? Smaller sects will naturally look up to Dengtian City, and by then, even the larger, more established sects will have to take their cues into account."
"After the Jiuzhou formation is completely broken and the black-clad forces are wiped out, we will have to judge the contribution."
Sang Niao said bluntly, "I think we may not even have to wait until then. During this process, with Young Master Chu's maneuvering skills, we can already elevate Dengtian City to that level."
She pointed toward the sky.
There was no need to make it too clear, the two of them understood each other tacitly.
Sang Niao: "Isn't Nightmare Lord worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Ji Tang turned his gaze forward boredly. Pu Yuanheng had not yet chosen the magic weapon he liked.
"If Dengtian City gains power, then Suxuan Sect will be forced to submit. Even with you and the Immortal Venerable here, it is Sect Master Liu who is in charge of Suxuan Sect, and he will inevitably be restrained."
Sang Niao: "You're just going to let him go on like this?"
"Why not?" Ji Tang shrugged. "At least now it seems that everything he does is beneficial to the cultivation world. Since it is beneficial, there is naturally no reason to stop him."
Sang Niao wanted to say something more, "But..."
Ji Tang grabbed the air and brought back all the magic weapons floating in front of Pu Yuanheng.
Pu Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of annoyance and regret - he should have been more decisive!
Ji Tang pointed at the magic weapons and said, "I'll put these in front of Pu Yuanheng and let him choose. No matter what he chooses, as long as his purpose in using these magic weapons is to save the dying and the wounded and to be a hero, then it's fine."
Pu Yuanheng hurriedly said: "I will definitely not let Nightmare Lord down!"
"Good boy." Ji Tang smiled with narrowed eyes, then added: "But what if one day he wants to use this magic weapon to bully others?"
Pu Yuanheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he waved his hands in fear: "I won't! Absolutely not!"
Ji Tang shook her fingers slightly, and the magic weapon swayed in the air following her movements.
The top-level magic weapon turned into a light fallen leaf in her hand. Sang Niao had no doubt that as long as she clenched her five fingers, this fine treasure would be turned into debris in an instant.
Pu Yuanheng continued, "How dare I use the Nightmare Lord's magic weapon to bully others? I will definitely protect it well and uphold justice!"
Ji Tang said with a pleasant expression, "You see, he doesn't dare."
Pu Yuanheng immediately said, "Yes, yes, disciple doesn't dare!"
Having said that, is there anything else that Sang Niao doesn’t understand?
Yes, how dare Chu Jinhuai.
