Chapter 157 Trampling on dignity and face, rushing to Feixian Island, what is she doing?
This courtyard covers a large area, and the towering gate is as magnificent as two hills. In the depths, in addition to the pavilions, there is also a very open ancient battle platform.
The battlefield was covered with traces of battles with swords, spears, and halberds, and there were powerful formations engraved around the platform.
On the bronze pillars that are as straight as pillars supporting the sky, powerful and ferocious beasts are tied with chains.
Each of the ferocious beasts carried a fierce aura, with scarlet eyes shrouded in a glow, and flames or thunder spewing from its mouth and nose.
Around the ancient battlefield, there are many beautiful landscapes such as green lakes and forest gardens.
On the high platform, Jiang Lan, dressed in spotless white clothes, with his hands behind his back, quietly overlooked the group of young supremes below.
Behind him, You'er stood quietly with her hands hanging down. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was just a shadow.
Ao Yin from the Dragon Clan, Kong Xuan from the Peacock Clan, Jin Ming from the Golden Crow Clan, Xiang Xiao from the Demon Ape Clan, Yuankong and the Sea God Clan, all came here to meet Jiang Lan under the arrangement of the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, no one spoke at this moment, and everyone was looking at Jiang Lan, the future master, calmly.
They are all young supreme figures who are invincible among their peers. They are arrogant and self-centered, and their strength has even entered the sixth realm of supernatural powers.
Looking at Zhongtianzhou today, there are very few young people who can be compared with them, and each of them has poured countless efforts and resources from the ethnic group behind them.
Because they were afraid of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they chose to accept the jade edict and follow Jiang Lan, but that did not mean they were willing to serve him as their master.
On the way to the imperial capital, they had discussed it and decided to temporarily serve him while secretly seeking a way to escape.
In order to make all the ethnic groups submit, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian signed corresponding agreements with them. One of the clauses in this agreement was that those who had made contributions would be rewarded, and if the contributions were sufficient, they could even make corresponding requests.
If the Prime Minister unilaterally tears up the agreement and insists on binding them for life, then they can only resist.
"You are all outstanding people, arrogant and unwilling to bow your heads. I want you to submit to me and serve me, but you are unwilling to do so."
"But I am a reasonable person and I never bully others, so I will give you a chance today."
"If anyone can withstand one of my palms, not only will I not punish you, but I will also send you back to the clan safely. In addition, I can also grant you one request."
"I wonder what you think about this?"
At this time, Jiang Lan, who seemed to have been sizing up the few people, suddenly spoke.
He smiled with interest and glanced at the five people one by one.
Upon hearing this, the five people were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed slightly. However, they were not ordinary people and did not show their emotions on their faces. They just didn't quite believe what Jiang Lan said.
Is there such a good thing? Or is he planning to rely on external things? Otherwise, why would he make such a boast?
You have to know that among the younger generation in the entire Zhongtianzhou, no one has ever dared to say this to them. It is simply arrogance to the extreme.
Or did Jiang Lan get a lot of opportunities and luck, and his cultivation level soared to the sky, so he thought that these young supremes were soft persimmons that could be squeezed at will? Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, they did not say anything, but secretly mocked Jiang Lan in their hearts, thinking that Jiang Lan was too arrogant and underestimated them.
Jiang Lan knew very well what they were thinking at the moment, so he didn't care. After all, anyone who was called the Young Supreme must have some ideas in his mind and it was impossible for him to be inferior to others easily.
It is obviously impossible to make them surrender willingly.
However, he did not have such an intention. He just wanted to find a few suitable tools who could do things for him and could be controlled.
These people have families and relatives behind them, which means they have weaknesses and leverage.
Such people are easy to be obedient and dare not betray easily.
"Are you serious, sir?"
At this time, Kong Xuan spoke. She had fair and delicate features, an oval face, hair like a waterfall, and was wearing a colorful dress. There was a kind of colorful glow in her eyes.
"Of course I take it seriously." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
Kong Xuan glanced at the people around her, but no one responded and everyone remained silent.
She was eager to try it, but now she had to hold it back, not wanting to be the first to do so.
Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.
He glanced around again and then landed on one of them.
"Ao Yin, I've heard your brother Ao Xu talk about you. You are the one with the purest bloodline in the Dragon Clan over thousands of years, and you are close to reverting to your ancestors. In the future, you may even have the hope of breaking through to the ninth realm and becoming a saint."
"So you have always been dissatisfied with following me."
"But I am open-minded and tolerant, and I don't care about your little tricks. Now I let you follow me to give you and the tribe behind you an opportunity."
"You won't have such qualifications in the future."
Ao Yin was wearing silver armor and a blood-red cloak. He had a beautiful face, porcelain-like features, skin whiter than snow, and a waterfall of silver hair tied into a ponytail. He was much taller than the others.
She has always been arrogant and unruly, looking down on others. She is extremely domineering in the eyes of her tribe members and others.
But after hearing Jiang Lan's light and casual words today, she finally understood what it meant to be far more arrogant than her.
"Mr. Jiang..." Ao Yin said coldly, with murderous intent in his brows.
Jiang Lan interrupted her and said, "Call me Master."
"you……"
"Well, I'm sorry, but today I want to see Mr. Jiang's strength and know how you can say such a thing."
Ao Yin snorted coldly, her heart boiling with anger. She understood Jiang Lan's special status and didn't dare to hurt him, so she didn't use her full strength and just extended a palm.
In an instant, her crystal-clear skin radiated a blazing glow, as if a real dragon had revived in her body, and endless power surged out, like a surging river or ocean, enough to overturn the world.
Kong Xuan, Xiang Xiao, Yuan Kong, Jin Ming and others were all watching calmly, their eyes flashing with strange colors.
Naturally, they were eager for someone to be the first to take action. Ao Yin was very powerful, there was no doubt about that, and none of them dared to say that they could definitely defeat her.
Now is a good opportunity to see Jiang Lan's purpose and reliance.
"If you don't use your full strength, you will suffer."
On the high platform, Jiang Lan saw Ao Yin slapping him with his palm, but his expression remained unchanged.
He also stretched out a hand and greeted it. It was very simple, without any fancy movements, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation of mana in his hand.
Seeing this scene, several people were stunned, and then frowned, wondering why Jiang Lan was so contemptuous? The opponent was Ao Yin, the princess of the Dragon Clan. There were not many young supreme beings in the world who could compete with her in the flesh.
Even Ao Yin didn't expect that Jiang Lan would be so casual and contemptuous. She snorted coldly and retracted some of her magic power to teach him a lesson.
But the next moment, when the two palms collided, her arm suddenly felt numb, and an extremely powerful shock came, which made her expression suddenly change. She dared not underestimate him anymore and put her strength forward again.
However, no matter how much strength she gathered, the other side seemed like an endless ocean with no end in sight, which could accommodate everything in the world.
Her power in front of him was like a stone, sinking into the deep sea, only causing a few ripples.
Ao Yin was a little bit unconvinced. Her slender and straight body seemed to have transformed into a dragon. Her silver hair was flying and her eyes were shining with golden light. The blazing light enveloped her entire body and a dragon's roar seemed to be heard in the void.
She clasped her five palms together, formed a fist, and turned it into a dragon fist, opening and closing it. Immediately, a dragon roar was heard, rumbling and deafening. The surrounding high platforms and gardens began to shake continuously, as if they were about to collapse.
Bang!!! However, facing such a powerful attack, Jiang Lan just casually brushed it away with his palm. In the bright rays of light and the deafening roar of dragons, he crushed everything and eliminated all the fluctuations.
Ao Yin's expression became solemn, and he used his skills once again. Above his head, there seemed to be a space evolving, as if a real dragon was opening its mouth, wanting to evolve into a divine form and devour everything.
However, Jiang Lan still pressed down lightly with his palm, and the real dragon spirit broke away and circled around his arm, as if guarding the ancient emperor of heaven.
Ao Yin's expression changed. She never expected that the true dragon form she evolved would be out of her control.
She let out a light cry and wanted to use other means, but she saw a huge jade-like handprint coming towards her in the dazzling golden light. The void rumbled, all the runes collapsed, and then hit her chest.
Ao Yin screamed and spurted out blood. His figure flew out and hit a bronze pillar.
It all happened very quickly, in just a few breaths. Kong Xuan and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. It was simply unbelievable.
They also never expected that Ao Yin would be easily defeated even after using so many tricks.
From beginning to end, Jiang Lan remained calm and composed, with one hand behind his back, which means that he easily suppressed and defeated Ao Yin with just one hand.
This shocked them, and at the same time, they found it difficult to accept and unbelievable. Their self-proclaimed invincible fighting spirit began to waver.
"Master Jiang... your strength is indeed unfathomable. Xiang Xiao is willing to submit to you. From today on, I will serve you as my master."
At this time, a gentle voice sounded, and Princess Xiangxiao of the Sea God clan spoke first.
She was wearing a water blue palace dress, her hair was like clouds, with a water blue hairpin inserted diagonally, her facial features were soft, her eyes were like water, and her blue pupils gave people a feeling of gentleness and indifference. She walked gracefully with elegant posture, and her skin was as white and delicate as snow lotus root, as if it was really made of water.
Xiangxiao was the first to express his surrender, which was beyond the expectations of Yuankong, Jinming and others.
"We are willing to serve you as our Lord."
But they reacted quickly and spoke out hastily, expressing their willingness to surrender and serve Jiang Lan from now on.
Only Kong Xuan went over to help Ao Yin up and fed her the healing pill.
The injury was naturally not serious, but it was indeed very embarrassing to be knocked out so easily in front of several people.
Ao Yin's face looked very unhappy, and her hands were clenched tightly, as if she still found it difficult to accept all this.
She couldn't understand how she, who had never been defeated before, could be defeated so thoroughly in front of Jiang Lan, without even the slightest ability to resist or fight back.
She could feel that Jiang Lan had not actually made a move.
If it was true as he said at the beginning, and he could withstand his palm, he would probably be seriously injured if not killed.
"Your strength is extremely strong and unfathomable. It is us who are shortsighted and stupid. I hope you can forgive us." Kong Xuan also said at this time, showing his submission.
Their strengths are all on par with each other, and if we talk about real combat power, they are probably not as good as Ao Yin.
Now that Ao Yin has been defeated, if they take action, they will be overestimating their own capabilities.
Before coming, they thought of various possibilities and felt that the purpose of the Prime Minister's Mansion was probably to hold them hostage and prevent them from growing up, so as to threaten the Prime Minister's Mansion's position of ruling over all ethnic groups.
They never considered the possibility that Jiang Lan's strength was far above theirs.
The rumors were wrong, and many of the news related to Jiang Lan were extremely different from the actual situation.
"Ao Yin is willing to serve... the young master as his master..."
Ao Yin, who had always been arrogant, had to accept this reality and lowered his head.
"This young master has always been good at distinguishing punishments. If you serve me in the future and do well, you will naturally be rewarded."
"Ao Yin, your mother was against my Prime Minister's Mansion back then, and now she is imprisoned in the Wujian Water Prison. She was originally imprisoned for another ten years. If you are honest and obedient, perhaps I will speak up and show some leniency, so that you and your daughter can be reunited earlier."
"You are quite capable, but it's a pity that you met me, so you don't have to be discouraged."
"This is Yuhan Pill, it can heal your injuries."
Jiang Lan still stood high in the sky with his hands behind his back. As he spoke, a white jade bottle was thrown down and landed in front of Ao Yin.
She stared blankly at the white jade bottle, feeling unspeakable humiliation in her heart. As a princess of the dragon race, how could she lack healing pills?
But Jiang Lan's move was intended to trample all her dignity and pride under his feet, forcing her to lower her head and bend down to pick up the jade bottle.
"What's wrong? Do you dislike this medicine?" Jiang Lan looked at her with interest.
Ao Yin gritted his teeth, lowered his head to take the white jade bottle, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, young master."
Jiang Lan chuckled and said, "This young master likes smart people."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the ancient battlefield not far away.
"This ancient battle arena was moved from another place. It can accommodate the battles between the six realms of cultivators. I also ordered people to bring those ferocious beasts from the Southern Barbarian State. They are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and have strength comparable to that of the demon kings of the six realms."
"If a cultivator of the same realm fights him, it will be very dangerous. However, now they are all restrained by the chains, which have sealed their strength."
"It just so happens that I also want to see your current strength..."
"Whoever can surrender will be given the beast by me."
Hearing this, the expressions of several people changed.
No matter what kind of force it is, those who have reached the sixth realm of cultivation are pillars of power and can hold important high positions.
Most of the elders of the immortal sects are only at this level.
Jiang Lan's move really shows how wealthy he is.
At this moment, Yuankong and Jinming became restless.
Jiang Lan is not idle. He is not sure whether these people have got those opportunities. After all, the plot timeline has been advanced a lot.
And these ferocious beasts were all carefully selected by him. They are far more powerful than ordinary ferocious beasts of the same level. If several people fight with them, they will definitely be in a tough battle.
In this way, he can also use the excuse of observation to investigate their situation and find out whether they have obtained those opportunities.
Afterwards, Yuan Kong was the first to die. Jiang Lan sat on the high platform and ordered people to untie the chains on the ferocious beasts. A great battle broke out.
As expected of Yuan Kong, he had the blood of the Chaos Demon Ape and soon fought to madness, but he had not entered the seventh realm after all and could not condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth. Facing these violent beasts, he soon seemed powerless and was defeated. He had to withdraw from the ancient battlefield.
After Yuankong, Jinming also died, but he was smart and did not engage in a head-on confrontation right away. Instead, he tried to use the blood talent of the Jinwu clan to suppress these ferocious beasts, but he also failed and retreated in style.
Afterwards, Xiangxiao and Kong Xuan also took action, but they all failed without exception.
Ferocious beasts are far more powerful than demon beasts in the same realm, because a ferocious aura occupies their minds, and they do not care about life and death, pain, have thick skin and flesh, and strong vitality. Also, because they have the blood of ancient species, they have many unique talents, and their combat power is extremely terrifying. The only flaw is that they do not have much wisdom.
Ao Yin watched coldly and did not leave on the grounds that he was injured.
Jiang Lan also roughly saw their current strength and means, but they were not stupid, and no one would use their trump cards or hidden tricks in such an occasion.
Afterwards, he arranged a mansion for them to rest, and then left.
Jiang Lan still needs to make some further preparations regarding the demonic disaster.
When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, he found his father Jiang Lintian and told him that he was going to Feixian Island.
His father once had a great enemy named Huangfu Hao, who was once the Holy Son of Taiyi Sect.
In their era, they were surrounded by a dazzling halo, and countless talented people were defeated by them.
Even the current leader of Taiyi Sect was once defeated by him.
In Huangfu Hao's hand, there is a rare treasure from heaven and earth, called the Book of Mediation and Creation. Although it is a book, it contains a complete space inside.
The two fought for their entire lives, and in the end Huangfu Hao was just one step away from being defeated by him. He then fled all the way to the Demon Abyss, where he jumped down in one fell swoop.
Today, his father sensed his aura again and suspected that Huangfu Hao survived in the depths of the Demonic Abyss with the help of the Book of Mediation.
In the past few days, his father has been considering sending experts to the Demon Abyss to investigate the matter and look for Huangfu Hao's trace.
Jiang Lan was also very surprised when he learned about this. After all, this was something that had never happened in the original plot. To be precise, it had never been mentioned.
The character Huangfu Hao has never appeared in the original plot.
But in this plot of Demon Abyss, there is a powerful person that he has to pay attention to... Tan Tai Qing, and her fiancé, the son of destiny.
That night, Jiang Lan talked with his father Jiang Lintian for a long time. Jiang Lintian told Jiang Lan everything he knew about Huangfu Hao, and handed him three talismans filled with mist, one black, one white, and one gray.
Jiang Lan could clearly feel the vast power contained in it, as if it could destroy ghosts and gods, burn mountains and boil seas.
The next day, he brought the people arranged by his father Jiang Lintian, and asked You'er to call Ao Yin, Kong Xuan and others to wait for Xia Jin's arrival at the agreed place.
Emperor Xia has already told Xia Jin that Jiang Lan will be fully responsible for this trip to the Demon Abyss to investigate the demon disaster, and Xia Jin only needs to deal with the invasion of the barbarians in Southern Wilderness State.
Nanmozhou and Nanhuangzhou are adjacent to each other, and Xia Jin's fiefdom is also there.
If you want to go to Feixian Island, it won’t take much time to go out to sea, and it’s just on the way.
Soon, a war flying boat with traces of corrosion took off from a palace complex deep in the imperial capital. Amidst the huge rumbling sound, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Xia leaned on the railing outside the palace and looked into the distance, only to look away after a moment.
Not far behind her, a woman in white stood quietly, and seemed to have withdrawn her gaze.
"This is my token of my presence in person. In Daxia, if you hold this token, it is as if I am present in person. You can use this token to monitor and handle this demonic disaster."
"The several great princes outside the Demon Abyss were all granted titles by the late emperor himself. They are only responsible for guarding the Demon Abyss and will not interfere in other matters."
"But if you have this token, they will obey your transfer."
Emperor Xia looked at the woman in white and reluctantly handed over the token on his waist.
Feixian Island is special after all. In addition to the three major guardian families, when Daxia was established, four great kings and princes were also granted titles to guard there for generations and assist the three major guardian families.
The four princes all have very special identities and statuses, and they may not necessarily obey even the imperial order.
"Is this the opportunity to work together that you gave me? You told me after he left the imperial capital?" Jiang Ruxian looked at Emperor Xia with a smile and took the token.
Emperor Xia said calmly, "Jiang Lan's mind is like a demon. If I tell you in advance, he will probably find out and then refuse this matter."
Jiang Ruxian smiled and said, "Are you afraid that he will find out that you betrayed him?"
Emperor Xia's expression remained unchanged and he did not comment.
Jiang Ruxian didn't care. She waved her jade hand and a crack appeared in the void in front of her. She moved lightly with lotus steps, accompanied by the fragrant wind, and turned into a floating light and quickly disappeared into it.
"Crossing the void as if it were nothing, with Jiang Ruxian's speed, I'm afraid he will reach Feixian Island before Jiang Lan."
"But this is also good. It solves my current urgent problem and I can focus more on the barbarians."
Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ruxian disappear, but there was still a lingering feeling of irritation and discomfort in his heart.
In fact, she and Jiang Lan are a legitimate couple.
Now, she had told another woman his whereabouts without Jiang Lan's knowledge, and had given her the token representing the emperor, giving the two of them a legitimate opportunity to work together.
What is this? "Chunlan, do you think Jiang Lan will blame me after he finds out about this?"
After thinking for a while, Emperor Xia suddenly looked at the maid Chunlan who was standing quietly with her hands hanging aside, and asked.
Chunlan was startled, then replied subconsciously, "Mr. Feng treats Your Majesty very well. He must know and will not blame Your Majesty. This is understandable."
Hearing this, Emperor Xia was stunned.
"Is he very good to me?" she asked.
This question immediately made Chunlan ask.
At least in her opinion, Jiang Lan treated Emperor Xia very well and helped her many times. Because Emperor Xia could not spare the energy to deal with the hidden dangers of demonic disasters that might erupt in the Demon Abyss, he went to Feixian Island in person.
If the demonic disaster really breaks out, I don’t know how terrible that place would be. There would be danger to one’s life and one could die at any time.
With Jiang Lan's identity, he could live a leisurely life in the imperial capital just like before.
Why take the risk?
And who was he doing this for?
