Chapter 439.

Jiang Ran and the others came to the Qing Kingdom’s imperial capital on this trip, traveling through secluded mountainous areas, almost isolated from the world.

Rather, they did not expect that the first news they heard after coming to the Imperial Capital would be about the Demon Cult.

Previously heard Wang Li said, poetry and painting two girls, summoned all the devil religion people to the imperial capital to meet ……

Now someone else had gotten the news in advance and wanted to wipe out the people in the Demon Sect here.

Is this a traitor amongst the Demon Cult? Causing the news to leak?

Or was there another reason?

His finger lightly tapped on the desktop:

“Is there any indication in the message as to when the people in the Devil Cult will gather here?

“And where did this news come from? It concerns the Devil Cult, the relationship is significant ……”

He had just said this when he suddenly looked up at the door.

When Luo Qingyi saw his eyes, she knew that someone had come outside the door, and immediately stood up and reached out to open the door.

Sure enough, she saw Chen Mu and Zhen Cheng come jointly.

When the two saw Luo Qingyi open the door, they were also stunned, then looked at each other and smiled:

“Brother Jiang is really powerful, you knew before we even entered the door?”

“The two of you will have your things packed up? You came over to visit us?”

Jiang Ran reached out and poured a few cups of tea.

Distributing it to them.

Luo Qingyi watched his eyes, nose, mouth, and heart, thinking, “You guys dare to drink the tea poured by my son?

Chen Mu and Zhen Cheng naturally don’t know the mysterious story here, casually took it and drank it, after moistening his throat, Zhen Cheng opened his mouth:

“Something is not how to pack, however, the imperial capital these days there is a good big bustle, this does not hear after, can not wait to come over to find you.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran glanced at Luo Qingyi:

“Coincidentally, I’ve also heard an unbelievable news that I haven’t shared with the two of you yet.”

“Demon Cult?”

Zhen Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Not long ago, amongst the clan lands of the Autumn Clan, I once heard something and knew that Brother Zhen you had once done battle with the Devil Cult in Yanxu City.

“Now the Devil Cult is gathering in the Imperial Capital again ……”

Jiang Ran said thoughtfully:

“Does Brother Zhen know why the Devil Cult entered the Imperial Capital with such fanfare this time?”

“You’ve really asked the right person about this matter.”

Zhen Cheng burst out laughing:

“If you were to find someone else to ask, I guess they could only tell you that the people of the Devil Cult are treacherous, so who knows why they are here?

“But I do know …… that this trip they made was actually to save someone!”

Luo Qingyi’s heart jumped.

The Devil Cult was coming to rescue someone?

Then did his own son know or not?

As the Demon Sect’s Young Duke, he naturally knew.

Then it was obvious that this person, as of now, had not yet been rescued.

This news that Zhen Cheng knew might be extremely important to his son.

Then he heard Jiang Ran’s voice with consternation in it:

“Rescue?

“Hasn’t the Devil Cult always been a scourge to the people? Since when, would it also save people?”

“I can’t agree with that.”

Zhen Cheng shook his head:

“The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people.

“The Devil Cult isn’t purely just bad people either …… only that they pursue the Heavenly Devil’s Great Self in their hearts.

“In all things, they only recognize their own hearts, and for the world’s rituals and laws, they are completely unconcerned.

“This then becomes deviation from the scriptures.

“But in reality, there are countless kinds of hearts …… Some people are bent on evil, while others harbor good thoughts.

“On the way of their pursuit of the true heart, when they encounter people whose hearts are full of malice, that is naturally a heinous sin, and on the contrary, when they encounter the kind of heart that is good, that is also a way to help the world and save the world, and there is no limit to the amount of merit and virtue.

“Ah shucks! It’s been colored by those vultures of the Da Fan Zen Academy with a strange problem, don’t you care.”

“……”

Chen Mu had the heart to open his mouth from the side, but he didn’t dare to speak.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, said thoughtfully:

“Then I’m curious, brother Zhen, you seem to have an extremely tolerant attitude towards the Devil Cult, if you encountered someone from the Devil Cult, how would you treat them?”

“Those who can be killed, naturally it’s better to kill them.”

Zhen Cheng sighed:

“Although it is said that people are inherently good, in reality, there are more times when they are inherently evil.

“A child crushes bugs just to feel fun.

“Yanking off the feathers of a small bird and tying a string around its neck to make it obey their words and fly in the direction they want it to fly.

“When the slightest thing is not as good as it should be, violence is added to it.

“Although this is a child’s joke, none of us are that bird, so naturally we can be indifferent and stand on the sidelines.

“The Devil Cultists are like that child, whose obsession is what he wants in his heart.

“All beings, on the other hand, are the bird, and if they do not follow his direction, they will suffer a miserable end.

“Though it cannot be denied that there will be urchins who will save the wounded bird.

“But in the end, they are still a minority.

“The hearts of men are changing, and the good of today may not be the good of the day to come, and the evil of today may not be the evil of the day to come.

“We can certainly stand aside and wait for the coming day, but that bird, is it not innocent to the core?”

These words were a bit roundabout, but fortunately the people present also understood what he meant.

Luo Qingyi glanced at Jiang Ran with some concern, only to realize that Jiang Ran had actually nodded his head approvingly.

Because before he knew his identity, he also thought the same way.

Even after he had become the Young Sovereign of the Demon Sect, his views on the Demon Sect hadn’t changed much.

It was only that the view could not be changed, so it would be better to change the Devil Cult.

He had already prepared for this series of circumstances, and actually being able to have some insight like Zhen Cheng’s was already considered rare.

However, if he had told him about this Young Zun’s identity, yet he didn’t know what he would do?

Would he be just as stubborn as the Monk of Preaching Evil and the others?

Will he insist on beating them to death?

Or would he beg himself to spare his life without any bottom line, and then do something bad behind his back?

Jiang Ran felt that this Zhen Cheng was mostly the latter.

And Jiang Ran didn’t dwell much on this matter, as if he was just talking casually, then he asked:

“Then you said that the Devil Cult wants to save someone, what kind of person is this saving?”

“That I don’t know.”

Zhen Cheng shook his head:

“But I know that the person they want to save is somewhere.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran froze:

“How do you know?”

“Underestimating me aren’t you? Although I’m not a match for the Winning Divine Blade, I’m still considered an expert within the sect, okay?”

Zhen Cheng said with a bit of defiance:

“See this masked scarf in front of me? Only the senior members of the Hundred Wood Sect are able to wear it.

“The reason why that person was able to catch this great master of the Devil Cult, there is still my Hundred Wood Sect’s credit in it.

“Now that person is in the imperial capital also Yongning Temple dungeon, that dungeon, all is my hundred wood door set up the mechanism.

“Do not say that the devil sect area a few people, even if it is a hundred thousand army rushed in …… forget it, this bull will not blow.

“Anyway, it is very powerful is!

“And this news is hidden, you can’t talk nonsense.”

“That person?”

Jiang Ran’s attention seemed to always be outside of Zhen Cheng’s expectations:

“And who is that person?”

Zhen Cheng scratched his head:

“That person ah…… this person is a bit complicated.

“It involves a lot of old memories, and I don’t know how to go into detail with you.

“Moreover, I don’t want to go into detail with you.

“After all, these things have nothing to do with you, however, a lot of dignified people above the Jianghu are somewhat involved with this person.

“It’s as if my Hundred Wood Sect was also once favored by this person.

“Therefore, this time he begged us to set up an ambush to catch him, and we did so.

“Especially after realizing that the person we captured was someone from the Devil Cult, there was no hesitation.

“Further on, it was he who flirted with the battle of Yanxu City.

“The people in the devil religion really came …… This person, in my opinion, mostly has some deep hatred with the devil religion.

“Well, by the way, I don’t know his name either, it’s just a substitute for ‘Black’.”

A sudden realization appeared on Jiang Ran’s face.

In his heart, he was thinking of the letter that Shan Yu Cicada had brought himself to read.

[Three days later, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Tianye traveled to Camel Ridge with their son.]

[The entourage is escorted by the seven masters of the Devil Cult, the Master of the Questioning Heart Zai, the Master of the Hall of Seven Emotions, and the Master of the Hall of Six Lusts].

He had prepared the ‘Blood Compulsion’ of the Flute Clan in his traveling bag, and made sure that he would get it in one blow!

At that time, this person was able to know the Devil Cult’s itinerary like the back of his hand.

To write such a letter.

Now that Jun He Ya had arrived in the Green Country, he was able to pick up the opportunity to take down the old sect master.

Setting up Yanxu City and nearly breaking Tang Tianyuan and the others into pieces again.

Jun Hejia …… He is so capable!

The expression on Jiang Ran’s face was well maintained, gradually turning from dawning realization to admiration:

“So powerful!

“This person is truly good and powerful!

“The Devil Cult is a scourge to the people, yet he is able to repeatedly re-invade the Devil Cult, such a heroic person, I really want to befriend him.

“Brother Zhen, you know this person, I wonder if you can introduce me to him?”

Luo Qingyi vigorously lowered his head, fearing that his expression would be seen to be wrong.

The admiration for Jiang Ran in his heart, on the other hand, was as continuous as a torrential river.

Without realizing it, Jiang Ran was about to get what he wanted to know from Zhen Cheng’s mouth?

The problem was, while hearing so much of what he wanted to know, the expression on his own son’s face had not broken from start to finish.

This skill was enough for himself to learn for the rest of his life.

Zhen Cheng, on the other hand, laughed:

“It’s not impossible, it’s just a pity that this person has been nowhere to be found since Yanxu City.

“But I expect that he should still be in the Green Country.

“And this time, the Devil Sect has a big move, so it might attract his attention.

“When the time comes to ascend to the top, there are bound to be a lot of people to respond, and together with him to conspire great things.

“At that time I am helping brother Jiang you introduce some ……”

As he said this, he took a fine look at Jiang Ran.

The Golden Cicada and the Green Kingdom were always at war.

The purpose of Zhen Cheng following Jiang Ran was never to want to make friends with Jiang Ran.

That night, the battle between the Winning Divine Blade and himself had made Zhen Cheng realize that Jiang Ran actually had no animosity towards his group.

Otherwise, with his martial arts skills, the Qing Guo Jianghu would have already been a sea of blood.

So he wanted to know what exactly Jiang Ran was doing here?

And from the fact that he had actually sent Princess Xi Yue to the Imperial Capital, it further convinced Zhen Cheng that his purpose was by no means purely to target the Qing Kingdom.

Plus, the Winning Divine Blade had impersonated Jiang Ran to assassinate Princess Xi Yue.

The whole thing blended together made Zhen Cheng believe that there was another layer of unseen and unfathomable intrigue in the battle between the Green Country and the Golden Cicada.

To see the entire situation clearly, one could only rely on Jiang Ran.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran did not resent his presence.

The two people were to a certain extent considered to have opened the windows of the sky.

A certain consensus was reached.

As for the aspect of the Devil Cult, Zhen Cheng really hadn’t given it much thought.

Whether it was in the Golden Cicada or in the Green Country, the Devil Cult was an existence that everyone shouted at.

It was only natural that Jiang Ran would admire ‘Black’.

Jiang Ran nodded at this point:

“Then thank you, Brother Zhen.

“But I wonder, is this news about the Demon Sect accurate or not?

“And when will they gather in the Imperial Capital?”

“Judging from the current news, it should be on June 15th, at the Seven An Town outside the Imperial Capital.

“A group of people have already gathered now, intending to head out to find out just before that.”

“June 15th …… three days later?”

Jiang Ran nodded lightly:

“Talking about if there’s nothing else by then, I also intend to head to have a look.”

“With your help, the Devil Cult shall be executed!!!”

Zhen Cheng was instantly energized.

Chen Mu also nodded gently:

“Uncle Jiang is truly righteous, we will go together when the time comes.”

“Good.”

It was almost time to talk about things here, and the two of them casually chatted with Jiang Ran for a couple more sentences before leaving first.

They both had their own news channels on this side of the Imperial Capital.

They also had their own things to do.

After Jiang Ran sent the two of them away, he returned to his room, and Luo Qingyi had some worries on her face:

“My lord, the 15th of June is just around the corner.

“I think the Demon Sect has also learned of the news that these Jianghu people want to deal with them at this time.

“There’s something odd about this matter.”

Jiang Ran nodded and said to him:

“In this case, I’ll go out first and return in the evening.

“Have Wu Di make some arrangements …… around the area to prevent prying eyes.”

“Yes.”

Luo Qingyi promised, while Jiang Ran turned to leave.

He found Ye Shockfang and Ye Shockxue.

These two, as Jiang Ran’s ‘ladies’ were naturally in the same room as Jiang Ran, but they were just dealing with other things earlier.

Jiang Ran pulled them together to go out for ‘shopping’.

Walking faithfully, their eyes also lingered on the lively and prosperous places on the street.

From time to time, they bought some candies, from time to time, they looked at the jugglers, and as they walked, the trio’s gradually drifted away.

After a few more moments, they had come to the depths of the narrow alley.

Jiang Ran looked over one household at a time, and finally came before an inconspicuous wooden door and gently knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

A raspy voice asked.

“Passerby, come to ask for a bowl of water.”

Jiang Ran spoke softly, and then knocked on the door ring three more times, neither lightly nor heavily.

A moment later, the door suddenly opened, and the raspy voice said:

“Come in.”

Jiang Ran led Ye Jingfang and Ye Jingxue right through the door.

Ye Jingxue walked at the end and smoothly brought the door of the room on again.

As soon as Jiang Ran turned around, he saw a black shadow swiftly arrive in front of him.

In the next second, he reached out for a pocket, and there was already one more person in his arms.

“Brother-in-law, I missed you to death!!!”

Tang Yuyi’s voice sounded sweetly in Jiang Ran’s ears.

At the same time, she was already mentally prepared to be thrown out by Jiang Ran.

However, she didn’t want to, but Jiang Ran gently patted her back and said in a low voice:

“I miss you too ……”

Ye Jingxue’s face darkened, and she couldn’t help but make a wink at Ye Jingshuang.

However, she realized that Ye Jingshang was just looking on with a smile on her face, completely unconcerned about what Jiang Ran had said.

Ye Jingxue sighed, her sister was in deep trouble, even the immortals couldn’t save her.

Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, was also stunned, never thought that Jiang Ran would say so at this time.

On the contrary, it was the boldness of her heart that made her blush a little.

Originally, she was like a tailless bear picking at Jiang Ran, this would feel all hot and dry, so she tried to get down from him.

But her waist was tight, but Jiang Ran wouldn’t let her go:

“When did you arrive at the imperial capital?”

“Two days ago.”

Tang Yuyi said in a low voice:

“Quickly let go of me ah …… my father is still there.”

Jiang Ran looked up as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw that both Elder Tang and Tang Shiyi had already arrived in front of the door at some point.

Just looking at Jiang Ran holding a Tang Yuyi, they were a little embarrassed to move forward.

Jiang Ran smiled and let go of Tang Yuyi, letting her feet hit the ground.

Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, felt as if she was still stepping on top of a cloud, her mind was in a daze.

She subconsciously went to wrap her arms around Ye Shockfang:

“Is he …… he stimulated by something? How come he suddenly changed like a person.”

“Is it bad?”

Ye Jingshang said with a smile:

“Normally he is cold and heartless to you, now that he is a little tender, he doesn’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like …… it’s just that I’m a bit uncomfortable.”

Tang Yuyi buried her face in Ye Shockfang’s chest:

“No no no, my calm down calm down.”

Ye Jingxue pulled her aside with one hand:

“You go to your sister’s place to calm down, what’s the point of running to my sister’s place to calm down?”

“What kind of relationship do we have? Why do we need to be divided into you, me and him?”

Tang Yuyi waved her hand:

“Sharing is, sharing is.”

Ye Jingxue had a feeling that Tang Yuyi’s words weren’t innocent, but there was no evidence.

And Jiang Ran had already arrived in front of Tang Tianyuan and Tang Shixiang at this time.

Tang Tianyuan knelt on one knee:

“Subordinate refers to Young Sovereign.”

“Get up.”

Jiang Ran reached out and helped him up:

“I know the general situation from this journey, Jun Hejia set up a trap and the old sect master was trapped.

“The situation is quite a bit more complicated than expected.”

“It’s a good thing that Shixiang and the others found their subordinates, otherwise, it would be quite difficult to regroup the scattered sect members.”

Tang Tianyuan sighed softly.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, glanced at Tang Shixiang, and when the four eyes met, they felt a mutual understanding.

Although no words had been spoken, the eyes had already expressed what he wanted to say as clearly as possible.

“Young Zun, inside please.”

Tang Tianyuan extended his arm as a guide.

Jiang Ran then nodded and followed into the inner room.

The house wasn’t big, only three rooms.

It was considered to be one of the Demon Sect’s temporary contact points in the capital.

Jiang Ran had gone out for a stroll because when he entered the city, he had already discovered that the Poetry and Painting girls had left a secret contact mark.

Afterwards, he heard the news that the Demon Sect was going to gather in the Seven Peace Town.

So he followed the password and found this place.

After taking his seat at this moment, Jiang Ran also opened the door:

“What’s going on with the Seven An Town gathering?”

As the words fell, Tang Tianyuan’s father and daughter glanced at each other, and Tang Wuyi then spoke:

“This matter, we are also quite curious.

“Actually, it has nothing to do with us at all.

“The contact messages I left behind were all for them to gather in the Imperial Capital and then disperse everywhere, so that when you arrived, they could cooperate with you.

“But I didn’t expect, after arriving at the imperial capital is to hear, we want to gather in the town of seven an news ……

“There are people who deliberately spread this matter, and their motives are unknown for the time being.”
