Chapter 192 Blinded by the secrets, Ge Qixing's ability, someone wants Xiao Teng dead more than him
"Then what about this jade pendant?"
"Although I don't know what Jiang Lan means, he definitely has bad intentions. If I throw away this jade pendant, he will definitely notice it. He will know that I have something to hide and will start to suspect me..."
"But if I carry this jade pendant with me, he might be able to track me down."
"This guy is really flawless in what he does." Ye Ming's face was gloomy.
"You were really scared by that guy. You have been suspicious from the beginning. Who in this world doesn't have some secrets? Just wear the jade pendant on your body openly. If he knows that you are Ye Ming, you may be able to use this jade pendant to plot against him later." The old ghost said with a smile.
Ye Ming nodded. After all, his current identity was just an ordinary disciple of Chen Sect. Standing up for Ling Zhuyun on the street today was already a bit reckless and impulsive.
He didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark.
He had suffered such a loss when he was in the capital of Daxia, so he has become more cautious now.
He had already heard about Jiang Lan's strength even though he was far away in Chen Sect in Nanmozhou.
From the beginning, he knew that Jiang Lan was very secretive. Even the old ghost, who always had a sharp eye, called him a natural saint.
Now that Jiang Lan has displayed such terrifying skills in front of the world, Ye Ming thinks it is completely normal.
"Seventh realm. Even if I break through the seventh realm, I'm afraid I won't be a match for this guy."
“But if I can obtain the complete Seven Stars Origin, and use the old ghost’s secret method to refine and shape my body of ten thousand stars, then my strength will change by leaps and bounds. With the ten thousand stars in the sky as my image, my every move will reflect the power of the stars, and any star lord will be nothing more than me.”
"Moreover, the inheritance that Senior Brother Jiang Chen gave me also requires the Ten Thousand Stars Body to practice. The Ten Thousand Stars Flying Immortal Technique is the most powerful offensive technique created by the gods. In terms of power, no immortal sect in Zhongtianzhou today can compare..."
Ye Ming left Chen Sect this time also for the Origin of the Seven Stars.
In his opinion, as long as he could create the Body of Ten Thousand Stars and successfully condense the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, he would have the cultivation strength to compete with Jiang Lan.
At that time, there would be no need to hide like a rat in a sewer.
He could only watch Jiang Lan and Ling Zhuyun chatting and laughing, while he could only clench his fists and pretend to be indifferent.
"The inheritance of the Blood Fairy Cult must have fallen into Jiang Lan's hands. Whether it was the Secret Realm of True Lord Zixia or the chaos of the Southern Hunting Exercise in the Imperial Capital, he was present..."
"Being framed by him like this, one day, he will pay the price."
The banquet held tonight was a great success for both the guests and the hosts.
After personally seeing Jiang Lan off, Jiang Yuheng returned to the restaurant's side room with a smile.
He dismissed all his disciples and sat quietly in the room for a while, as if thinking about something, and then took out an ancient bronze mirror.
As several magical powers penetrated into the mirror, the rays of light on the blurry mirror surface dispersed, and then the mist surged, and a middle-aged man in silk casual clothes and with his hair casually tied up appeared in it.
"Father……"
Jiang Yuheng showed respect on his face.
The person in the picture is Song Shuxu, the current leader of the Chen Sect and also Jiang Yuheng’s biological father.
"Did something happen?" Song Shuxu seemed to be flipping through something in the Chen Sect's Sutra Library, holding an ancient scroll in one hand, and asked casually.
Jiang Yuheng took his mother's surname. His mother was the granddaughter of the founder of the Chen Sect, and his father was just a son-in-law.
"It is like this, Father..."
Jiang Yuheng recounted what happened when he met Jiang Lan during the day. He wanted to use Jiang Lan's relationship to get close to the Taiyi Sect.
Moreover, in his opinion, Jiang Lan has such a high level of cultivation strength at such a young age, and his future is limitless. Maybe he can even surpass Li Sheng in the future and lead the Taiyi Sect to even greater glory.
Only people like this are worth associating with.
What surprised Jiang Yuheng was that when he mentioned Jiang Lan, a look of surprise appeared on his father's face, and he even put down the ancient scroll in his hand.
"Jiang Lan showed up in Anqiu City, and you met him, and even had a good chat with him?" Song Shuxu's face darkened.
Jiang Yuheng was puzzled and a little surprised. Why did his father not look happy?
"Oh no." Song Shuxu frowned and asked, "Is Ye Yun with you?"
Jiang Yuheng nodded, and then talked about how "Ye Yun" stepped forward today and planned to be a hero to save the beauty.
Song Shuxu looked like he had a headache and said, "This is a big trouble. What you fear is bound to happen. Don't have too much contact with Jiang Lan. He is a very dangerous person. Also, don't have any contact with him. Just keep a proper distance from him without offending him."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuheng was even more surprised and puzzled.
Why is this? Chen Zong had no contact with Jiang Lan before, could it be that there is a grudge between "Ye Yun" and Jiang Lan?
Song Shuxu seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "This is the meaning and instruction of the ancestor. There is a deep connection between Jiang Lan and the Blood Immortal Sect. However, you must not make this matter public, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster of killing."
He knew very well about the origin of "Ye Yun". The founder Jiang Chen had taken the initiative to find him and mentioned to him that Ye Ming was framed and had to come to Chen Sect to escape.
It’s just because this matter is so important that only he and the founder Jiang Chen know about it in the Chen Sect. He has not told his other sons.
Now that Jiang Yuheng had actually come into contact with Jiang Lan, Song Shuxu had to tell him about it. He knew his son's character very well. He was very arrogant and looked down on everyone. If he didn't make it clear, he probably wouldn't take it too seriously.
"What?"
Jiang Yuheng's whole body trembled, and shock and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
If this was said by someone else, he might still be skeptical, but this person was his father.
"How is it possible..."
He murmured, thinking of Jiang Lan's detached expression during the day, and his every move exuding an otherworldly air.
Who would have thought that he was related to the Blood Fairy Cult? Who would believe this?
If it was true, how deep was that guy hiding? Soon, there was no picture on the other side of the ancient mirror. Song Shuxu seemed to feel that the matter was of great importance, and hurriedly left the Sutra Library.
Jiang Yuheng took a long time to recover.
"If what my father said is true, then if you think about it from another angle, isn't this a handle?" He narrowed his eyes.
In the following days, Anqiu City became more and more lively, and disciples and elders from various major sects could be seen appearing almost every day.
After Jiang Lan came here, many young geniuses came here to visit.
Many of them wanted to follow him, and many also came to personally see the true appearance of the current Saint of Taiyi Sect and express their admiration.
The talented disciples from other states also held similar ideas, but no one dared to speak out.
Especially many geniuses in Dongyuan Prefecture are even more afraid of Jiang Lan.
The Blood-Clothed Young Master of the Xue Family, whose real name is Xue Wuwang, is a well-known genius in Dongyuan Prefecture. It is almost impossible to find an rival among his peers. He is extremely arrogant and powerful, and basically no one dares to mess with him.
But who would have thought that he would die tragically in Anqiu City just a few days after arriving in Zhongtian Province. Even his protector knelt down in shame that day and then blew himself up.
Jiang Lan's strength has been deeply rooted in people's hearts through the spread of various news in the past few days.
However, Jiang Lan did not receive any visitors for several days. However, a sharp-eyed cultivator saw from afar a graceful figure and a beautiful dance in the tallest pavilion in Anqiu City.
Jiang Lan was sitting cross-legged there, his white clothes as white as snow. Opposite him, Ling Zhuyun, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi Sect, had her face covered with a white veil. With her slender hands, she played the zither for him. The sound of the zither was lingering, beautiful and moving, like the sound of nature.
Many monks passing by felt their hearts rippling with joy and couldn't help but indulge in it.
The reputation of the Saint Son of Taiyi Sect for his romanticism has spread far and wide in the past few days, making all the talented monks envious.
During these few days, strange phenomena were reported from the Qingpu Mountains, thousands of miles away from Anqiu City.
Some monks noticed that among the endless mountains, there were several majestic peaks that were particularly prominent. At night, they shone with pure white light. However, if the distance was a little far, they would be hazy and unclear.
Only from a close distance can one feel the unusualness of those peaks. The mountains are dazzling, and every ancient tree seems to be carved from jade. Above the sky, it seems that there are stars all over the sky sinking and falling.
Strands of star power pulled the object down, covering the mountains.
When the news spread, it quickly caused a huge sensation, and countless monks rushed there at the first opportunity. However, such a strange phenomenon could not be seen every night.
For the next few days, there was no movement there, which made the monks who rushed there wonder if the previous news was wrong and someone was deliberately confusing them. In Anqiu City, a large number of monks also rushed there, but they all returned empty-handed. Some people did not give up and waited there.
A few days later, similar news came from other areas. Likewise, some mountains were glowing, attracting the starlight from the sky to descend, like fairy jade sinking, dazzling and astonishing.
Later, some Feng Shui masters who were proficient in finding dragons and caves went to investigate. Using many secret techniques to infer, they found out the exact location of the Star Skeleton Secret Realm, which was not in the current time and space.
These starlights are just the star power that escaped from the secret realm. Perhaps someone has already found the secret realm and got there first.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.
Many people were unwilling to accept that with such a big event and attracting so many people, the Star Skeleton Secret Realm had already been reached by someone else?
In other words, the Seven Star Origin in the Star Skeleton Secret Realm may have been obtained by someone?
The Taoist forces in other major states were also extremely shocked by the news.
Some families who were good at deduction couldn't even believe it. According to their deduction, even if the Star Skeleton Secret Realm was to appear, it would still take some time. It wouldn't happen that quickly.
What is going on here?
Many doubts and puzzles filled everyone's mind. In the Qingpu Mountains, countless cultivators emerged in a short period of time. They were all unwilling to give up and wanted to find out the truth of the news.
But no one knows where the entrance to the Star Skeleton Secret Realm is.
On the contrary, every night, the Qingpu Mountains seem to be shrouded in a hazy starlight, extremely dim and blurred, and the many stars in the sky also shine, casting endless starlight.
"It seems that something unexpected has happened. The secret of this Star Skeleton Secret Realm has been tampered with artificially."
"This person has extraordinary means. He bought time for Xiao Teng by his own strength."
In the inn, the old ghost turned into a hazy black light, floating in the air, and said with some emotion.
Ye Ming's face was gloomy and uncertain. He had been waiting for the opening of the Star Skeleton Secret Realm, but who would have thought that he would wait for such a result.
"Who in this world has such ability? Is it a saint?" he asked unwillingly.
The old ghost pondered, "It's not a saint, but it's very likely that it's Ge Qixing, the current national teacher of Daxia. If it were in the past, he would be considered a man of great significance and should not be underestimated. It's not surprising that he has such means."
Ye Ming looked at him in astonishment and said, "Ge Qixing, is that Xiao Teng's master? But how did he do all this?"
"Ge Qixing should have inherited the ancient Star Sect. He has some kind of treasure in his hand. With the power of the treasure, it is not surprising that he can achieve this level." The old ghost said thoughtfully.
"hateful……"
Ye Ming clenched his fists suddenly, feeling somewhat unwilling.
“People are not stupid. Someone will always think of this. However, there is no evidence for this matter, so we can only pretend that we have suffered a loss in silence. The origin of the Seven Stars belongs to those who are destined to have it. Ge Qixing has such means. That is his ability.” The old ghost sighed.
Seeing Ye Ming silent, he laughed again and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. Getting the Seven Star Origin right now is nothing. Instead, you will become the target of public criticism and be coveted by various Taoist forces. This represents a future saint. Even if Taiyi Sect gets it, they have to be careful to hide it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's eyes suddenly gleamed, and he said, "I'm afraid Xiao Teng will be targeted by many forces in the future. The Great Xia Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles. Emperor Xia may not be able to protect him."
"I just don't know if Ge Qixing has this ability..."
The old ghost laughed and said, "The young man is teachable. Jiang Lan has been staying in Anqiu City for several days without paying any attention to the Star Skeleton Secret Realm. I'm afraid he anticipated this result. Rather than becoming the target of public criticism, it's better for him to hide in the dark and plan slowly."
"This guy certainly doesn't seem to have come for the Star Skeleton Secret Realm these days..." Ye Ming thought of Jiang Lan's movements these days, listening to music in brothels, drinking and having fun, with even Ling Zhuyun by his side, playing the piano and music for him, looking so leisurely.
He felt a strong sense of jealousy and resentment in his heart.
"Xiao Teng..."
"He probably thinks I'm a member of the Blood Fairy Cult now, and that I approached him in the imperial capital just to use him. Now that we've become enemies, don't blame me for being unfair."
That night, Ye Ming used his own means to secretly spread the news and revealed Xiao Teng's existence.
The next day, many similar rumors circulated in Anqiu City, causing everyone to start paying attention to this genius with a star body.
The major sects reacted quickly as well. After learning that the secret of the Qingpu Mountains might have been obscured, they began searching for clues through their spies, hoping to find out if there were any people who had appeared near the Qingpu Mountains half a month ago.
After such a thorough search, they soon found some clues. Some cultivators had seen Fairy Miaoyin from the Goddess Palace roaming around here. Before that, for some unknown reason, she had been hunted by Xiao Teng and had luckily escaped with her life...
As one of the most eye-catching geniuses in Daxia today, Xiao Teng's every move naturally attracts attention.
After some inquiries from those who were interested, many Taoist forces discovered that there had been no news about him for more than half a month.
Combined with the information we got today, the person who entered the Star Skeleton Secret Realm in advance is most likely him...
For a time, Xiao Teng became the target of public criticism, arousing public outrage.
Various Taoist forces also took this opportunity to express their views, believing that the Great Xia Zhenbei Palace was immoral and would not embezzle the Star Skeleton Secret Realm, and asked them to quickly inform them of the Star Skeleton Secret Realm and its entrance.
King Xiao He of Zhenbei was the first to speak out, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him. He didn't know where his son was, let alone where the entrance to the Star Skeleton Secret Realm was.
He only has the seventh realm of cultivation, and has no ability to conceal the secrets of heaven and play tricks on the various Taoist forces.
Prince Zhenbei immediately distanced himself from the matter, and then the blame naturally fell on Emperor Xia.
After all, Daxia is a place full of hidden talents and has a profound foundation, and Xiao Teng is highly regarded by Emperor Xia...
During this period, Daxia also sent people among the people to search for and investigate the origin of the Seven Stars.
Emperor Xia, who was far away in the imperial capital, never expected that he would be blamed for no reason, and was naturally very angry.
If she could get the Seven Star Origin, she would take the blame, but now she hadn't even seen what the Seven Star Origin looked like, so she naturally didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. She then asked the female official to clarify that the matter had nothing to do with her.
Upon learning this, Jiang Lan couldn't help but smile. The fight for the Seven Star Origin was much more intense than he had expected.
"But they are deliberately directing the blame towards Xiao Teng so soon..."
"It seems like this guy wants Xiao Teng to die first more than I do."
He naturally guessed who was spreading the news behind the scenes. He had originally planned to wait for Xiao Teng to show up before taking action, but now someone was more anxious than him.
Jiang Lan had never been interested in the Seven Star Origin from the beginning to the end, otherwise he would not have let Fa Miaoyin go so easily when he was in the imperial capital.
"Since Ye Ming, you are so anxious about the Seven Star Origin, I will also give you a good news."
The next day, news about the inheritor of the Yuheng Origin among the Seven Star Origins spread in Anqiu City, and the sensation it caused was far greater than that of yesterday.
No one knew who spread the news, but with Xiao Teng's news before, someone quickly went to verify the authenticity of the news.
The restaurant and inn where Ye Ming, Jiang Yuheng, Xia Jin and others were temporarily staying was surrounded by many cultivators that day.
Jiang Yuheng never thought that his secret would be exposed like this. Apart from him, the only person who knew about this was his father Song Shuxu.
He knew that this matter was of great importance, so he had kept it hidden all along and never performed it in front of others.
Ye Ming was no less shocked and surprised than Jiang Yuheng, and his heart couldn't help but become secretly excited and hot.
"Chen Sect? From which remote corner of the world is this sect? I've never heard of it."
"Whether you are the inheritor of Yuheng's origin or not, we will know once we catch you and search you."
Several cultivators had a sinister demonic aura about them, with bone banners hanging from their waists and purple gold bells in their hands, staring at Jiang Yuheng and the others.
The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in colorful green clothes. He had a feminine and pale face, but was very powerful. He came from the Taoist True Demon Sect in Dongyuan Prefecture.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the demonic fog surged, making the void buzz, trying to catch the few people.
"This is too much!"
Jiang Yuheng had never been humiliated like this since he was born, so he immediately chose to take action.
Without any suspense, a great war broke out. These cultivators of the True Demon Sect were all very powerful. The middle-aged man in the lead was a powerful man who had entered the seventh realm for many years and had reached the late stage of the Dharma Realm.
Jiang Yuheng is a little younger, and although they are both in the seventh realm, his magic power is far less profound than that of the other. The two of them fought back and forth, but neither of them could defeat the other in a short while.
On the other hand, the other disciples of Chen Sect were seriously injured, and even Xia Jin was unable to take care of himself.
The battle here had already alarmed the other cultivators in Anqiu City. Among the onlookers, many people also stared at Jiang Yuheng. The news that came out this morning said that this person possessed the origin of Yuheng.
At the moment, many people had fiery eyes, and there were many people who were secretly coveting it.
Jiang Yuheng knew that the situation was urgent. If he was targeted today, with more people around him, it would be even more difficult for him to escape.
Regardless of whether he has the Yuheng origin or not, he must be careful when walking in Zhongtianzhou from today onwards.
"Who is so despicable..."
He cursed in his heart, and couldn't figure out why his secret was exposed. Could it be that something went wrong with his father? Boom! ! The next moment, the sky trembled. Even in broad daylight, one could see the stars gathering in the sky, like rays of divine light falling one after another, covering a vast expanse.
A huge and bright phantom of a star floated above Jiang Yuheng's head, heavy and majestic, covered in starlight, like a mountain.
His face was furious, and he controlled the power of the stars to attack the enemy. Then, with an astonishing and huge momentum, he tore open the void and escaped with the people of Chen Sect.
The cultivators who reacted were shocked and uproarious. The news that the inheritor of Yuheng's origin had appeared in the world quickly spread to all directions, causing an uproar.
In Anqiu City, many people chased after him that day, their hearts filled with excitement.
Many people were also surprised. Who spread this news? The appearance of the inheritor of Yuheng's origin, in a way, also attracted more attention from the world and diverted a lot of attention from Xiao Teng.
Xiao Teng is currently missing, but right in front of him is a living inheritor of the Seven Star Origin...
In Anqiu City, Jiang Lan sat and watched the flowers bloom and fall, the clouds roll and unroll, without making any moves, and seemed to be unconcerned about the current development of the situation.
After Ling Zhuyun stayed in the city for a few days, she left with her fellow apprentice sisters.
And he still waits.
"What are you doing, sir?"
"The outside world is about to go haywire, but he's not in a hurry at all..."
Xiangxiao, Kong Xuan and others were all very surprised.
