Chapter 240 He never wanted to be a yellow-haired man. He could learn if he didn't know how to do it.
Ever since Jiang Lan showed up in Nie'er City, his whereabouts have been completely exposed to the world, and several groups of people have come to visit him.
However, among them, only a few people with special identities successfully met him.
However, after the banquet, Zhou Ming and other cultivators from the Kaiming Star Domain expressed their willingness to surrender and follow without hesitation. Even the immortal sects behind them were ready to surrender to and rely on Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan is also considering how to slowly infiltrate his power into the four-sided star field. With the forces behind Zhou Ming and others as nails, he can drive them straight in, which will actually facilitate his subsequent plans.
So he didn't refuse.
Many forces from outside the domain have been trying to find backers during this period. Many people feel that sooner or later a war will break out between the various star fields outside the domain and the land of Kyushu.
During this period, the changes in the world became increasingly clear and obvious. The cultivators and creatures in many areas of Kyushu could clearly feel that the ground beneath their feet was shaking slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred. The earth was rising, the mountains were shaking, and the territory was expanding in a tiny arc.
As such changes intensify, some life stars outside the domain may be pulled in by the mysterious power and eventually become part of the land of Kyushu.
"I hope Saint Jiang Lan will forgive me for visiting you so late at night."
What surprised Jiang Lan a little was that Han Jing, whom he had met once in the private room of Yingxian Tower during the day, came to visit him alone at his temporary residence at night after separating from Nie Zhaoyi.
"Is there something that can't be said during the day? Why do you have to come here so late at night?" Jiang Lan sat steadily in the pavilion, warming his tea and sipping it slowly.
Han Jing was still dressed as a Taoist priestess as she had been during the day, with her long hair tied up in a jade crown and a few strands of black hair hanging down from her ears, making her look very capable and straightforward.
"I know that Saint Jiang Lan is a straightforward person, but with Zhao Yi around during the day, some things are really not suitable to be discussed."
Han Jing has a fair face and bright features, especially a pair of bright eyes that appear very outstanding and seem to be shining even at night.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Lan smiled and looked at Han Jing with a scrutinizing look.
"Let's make a deal. I want Saint Jiang Lan to help me. I can help you control the Yingzhao Dojo." Han Jing was also very direct. He stared at Jiang Lan seriously without saying too much nonsense.
Jiang Lan held the tea, took a sip, and said nothing.
Han Jing is a smart person and can see his purpose. However, since it is a transaction, it can be negotiated. Jiang Lan herself does not have much impression of her, and she is also an insignificant little character in the original plot.
Her cultivation level was only at the sixth realm, yet she boasted that she could help him control the Yingzhao Dojo. If she wasn't too arrogant and stupid, then she must have some confidence.
“The Four Directions Star Regions are ready to take action against the Nine Provinces, but isn’t the Taiyi Sect also ready to take action against the Four Directions Star Regions? Once the Four Directions Star Regions are conquered by the Taiyi Sect, then the surrounding ancient stars of life will also surrender one by one.”
"With Saint Son Jiang Lan's courage and vision, he must be able to see it clearly." Han Jing said again.
"It's the first time I've heard someone talk to me like this. It's really interesting."
"You don't need to test me. I do have some plans for the Four Directions Star Region." Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Just tell me what you can do for me. There's no need to waste words when making a deal with a smart person."
"I have a special identity in the Yingzhao Dojo, and I have come into contact with many secrets. I believe that Saint Son Jiang Lan should know that there is a Yingzhao remains in the Yingzhao Dojo. In order to condense the Yingzhao marrow and blood from this remains, the Yingzhao Dojo searches for boys and girls with suitable physiques every five years as sacrifices to the Yingzhao remains in order to quell its resentment and anger, thereby avoiding backlash." Han Jing said, and when he mentioned this, there was deep hatred in his eyes, and his jade hands were clenched until they turned white.
In Jiang Lan's impression, Yingzhao Dojo does have this tradition, which is also related to the inheritance of Yingzhao Dojo.
Only the heroic marrow and blood can assist in practice and break through to a higher level.
"Because of this, you want to destroy Yingzhao Dojo?"
Jiang Lan was a little surprised. Just now under his gaze, Han Jing's luck was ordinary, but after he finished talking about this, there was obviously an unknown and powerful luck brewing on his body.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Could it be that she is also involved with someone of great luck?
"That's right, the purpose of my joining the Yingzhao Dojo is to destroy it one day." Han Jing gritted his teeth, very frankly and directly, without hiding anything.
"During the day, you didn't seem to have such hatred towards Yingzhao Dojo."
"At night, you changed your tone. Are you trying to fool me like a fool?" Jiang Lan put down the teacup, his face calm and composed. He just waved his hand lightly, and Han Jing felt herself flying towards Jiang Lan uncontrollably. However, she did not resist. Her whole body seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, floating in the air.
"I dare not fool Saint Son Jiang Lan. I came to the North Sea this time on the orders of my master to investigate the situation in the land of Jiuzhou. If there is no reason, how dare I show hatred to my master?" Han Jing's face was pale and he tried his best to explain.
Jiang Lan gave her the feeling that he was far more terrifying than the strong men in her sect. This invincible power under the saint was probably enough to sweep across a star field.
"Then I'll believe you this time."
Jiang Lan naturally knew that Han Jing would not dare to lie in front of him. With his current cultivation level, he could tell at a glance whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
He just didn't like smart-ass people.
As he gently lowered his hand, Han Jing was able to fall from the air, gasping for breath. There was still fear and dread in his eyes, but more of a certainty and passion.
She was sure that she had not chosen the wrong person. With Jiang Lan's power and cultivation, he could really do what she had always wanted to do.
"When I return to Yingzhao Dojo, I will discuss this matter in detail with the sect and let them believe that Saint Jiang Lan is willing to cooperate with Yingzhao Dojo. With me mediating, Saint Jiang Lan can do what he wants without any worries. The most important heritage of Yingzhao Dojo is the Yingzhao remains. I will find a way to steal it for Saint Jiang Lan..."
Han Jing whispered, talking about her next plan.
"It seems like you already have a plan in mind."
Jiang Lan stared at Han Jing, paying attention to the changes in her luck, and then waved his hand, motioning her to come over.
Seeing this, Han Jing hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
"Because of whose death do you hate Yingzhao Dojo so much..." Jiang Lan asked casually.
"I was born on a life star called Huaiyun Star in the Yingzhao Star Region. My family is considered a big family on Huaiyun Star. I have a fiancé who I grew up with. We love each other and have a deep relationship. We agreed to get married after the coming-of-age ceremony. But on the day of the wedding, an old Taoist from the Yingzhao Dojo suddenly broke in and forcibly took my fiancé away..."
"I originally thought that he was practicing in the Yingzhao Dojo, but when I later joined the Yingzhao Dojo and wanted to look for him, I learned that he had a special physique and had been sacrificed to the Yingzhao remains many years ago..." Han Jing lowered his head and explained in a calm tone.
"The fiancé who disappeared for many years and is suspected to be dead?" Jiang Lan roughly guessed it after hearing this.
Yingzhao's remains contain rich vitality. If heaven helps him, even if he is doomed to death, a ray of life can be created for him.
It seems that the good fortune that suddenly emerged in Han Jing might have come from her fiancé?
Jiang Lan couldn't help but shake his head slightly in his heart. He never wanted to be a yellow-haired man. It was just that the way this luck emerged every time was always strange, and it was often some women related to the son of luck.
"Although it has been many years, I will never forgive Yingzhao Dojo. I can pay any price to destroy it." Han Jing's eyes flashed with deep hatred.
"Pay any price? If your fiancé, who you have already married, knew that you did this, would he agree?" Jiang Lan smiled faintly, thinking of Han Jing's slightly strange behavior in the private room during the day. Thinking about it this way, it actually made sense.
"After he knows this, he should be able to understand me. Isn't the reason I did this just to help him get revenge?"
"Besides, he couldn't possibly know."
Han Jing shook his head and said softly, "During the day, I specifically learned about some of your hobbies and preferences, Saint Jiang Lan. Although my fiancé and I have a deep relationship and have been married, we have never been husband and wife. He has always been humble and gentle, and he is polite to me and has never made any advances. In fact, I should be the same as Miss Su Qinghan from the Su family in Yuyi City, Zhongtian Province."
Jiang Lan was holding the tea and was about to take a sip, but when he heard these words, his movements stopped right there.
Is this the way his habit of being in front of the world has become now?
Did Han Jing even investigate Su Qinghan's affairs? Or did he come prepared?
"Miss Han Jing really has a deep misunderstanding of me."
Jiang Lan put down the tea, sighed softly, and then asked, "Don't you feel sorry for your fiancé when you say this? Don't you love him very much?"
"I know, that's why I do this. I can pay any price to avenge him." Han Jing said seriously.
Jiang Lan nodded. Since people said so, he would not pretend to be a gentleman.
In fact, he also wanted to know how the son of luck, who had never appeared in the original plot, would appear.
"Squat down and take off the jade crown..." Jiang Lan said.
Han Jing was slightly startled, but still squatted down obediently and took off the jade lotus crown. Suddenly, her dark black hair was freed from its restraint and poured down like a waterfall, shining with a crystal luster even in the night.
Jiang Lan reached out and gently stroked the beautiful black hair, and seemed to sigh, "Have you thought it through?"
Han Jing had already guessed what he meant, bit her lower lip, and said resolutely, "I've thought about it, but I may not be able to do it."
"No, you can learn slowly." Jiang Lan smiled.
…
The next day, Jiang Lan led Kong Xuan, Yuan Kong and others to the Shi Ling clan's territory according to yesterday's plan, intending to visit the Stone Saint who had survived for a long time.
Naturally, the Stone Spirit Clan did not welcome him.
However, Jiang Lan came here this time in the name of Li Ran. No matter how much Shi Sheng didn't want to see him, it was impossible for him to politely refuse the kindness of another saint.
In the world today, the only saint known to the world, besides him, is Li Ran from the Taiyi Sect.
If the news of the discord between the two saints spreads, it will have a negative impact on the situation in the entire Kyushu land and cause all parties to panic again.
When visiting Shi Sheng, Jiang Lan met Shi Tian again. Compared with his appearance on the street yesterday, Shi Tian seemed much calmer and more stable.
After all, he is a natural saint, and there is a real saint around him who teaches him all the time. Every setback and hardship is a growth for him.
"I appreciate Li Sheng's kindness. On the day when the Immortal Dao Alliance is established, I will definitely go to congratulate you. However, the Shiling Clan lives in the depths of the North Sea and is used to being idle and lazy. I'm afraid they are not used to joining the Immortal Dao Alliance. I'm worried that they will cause a lot of trouble."
The Stone Saint is not good-looking, and looks like an ordinary old man with a yellow and dark face, but he exudes a heavy and long-lasting aura like Hou Tu.
The place where he stands is like a pure land of paradise, making people feel peaceful, calm, and comfortable.
"Senior, you are joking. Everyone knows that the Stone Spirit Clan is close to nature and loves peace. How could they cause trouble? The Immortal Dao Alliance is the cornerstone for coordinating the world's immortal gates, establishing order, and maintaining the peace of all people. If Senior Stone Saint joins, this cornerstone will be more solid and unbreakable." Jiang Lan said with a little regret.
"I am too old to handle such an important task. Let Li Sheng do it."
"This North Sea is the most suitable place for me to recuperate and practice meditation. I may not be able to get used to living in other places." Shi Sheng smiled and waved his hand.
Shi Tian, who was standing behind him, behaved calmly from beginning to end, as if he had forgotten about the humiliation he suffered from Jiang Lan yesterday.
"In that case, I won't say any more."
Jiang Lan also smiled slightly, and then his eyes seemed to intentionally or unintentionally sweep over Shi Tian behind him, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave first, and I have to go to the capital of Nie Er country next."
"I had a very pleasant conversation with Princess Zhaoyi yesterday. We hit it off right away and liked each other very much. Today I have to visit her adoptive father and discuss some important matters, so I won't stay long."
Upon hearing this, Shi Sheng frowned inadvertently.
Shi Tian behind him could no longer maintain his previous calm expression. His eyes suddenly became cold and he stared at Jiang Lan closely. He became inexplicably nervous.
Yesterday, he had learned from his grandfather Shi Sheng some stories about the relationship between him and the Princess of Nie Er Kingdom.
After last night's hard recollection, those distant and vague memories slowly emerged and became clear.
