Chapter 447.

The line of Yongning Temple came to an end here.

Although from the beginning, to the end it was different from what Jiang Ran thought.

But being able to retrieve the old sect master was not a bad thing after all.

As for the unconscious monks in Yongning Temple, Jiang Ran didn’t hit them hard.

After all, he hadn’t come here to kill anyone.

The dead ones were killed by the aftershocks of the fight, and Jiang Ran felt that he couldn’t blame himself for this.

After all, it was that group of old monks who were unforgiving and had to find their own hands.

As a result, the monks in Yongning Temple were killed by the aftershocks of their fights, and those old monks had to pay at least half of the blame.

Other than that, the biggest gain of this trip was the Demon King.

On the way back, Jiang Ran carried the old sect master on his back and led Tang Yuyi, with the bruised and swollen Duo Demon Underworld King right behind them.

He still had the same impetuous expression, looking at everyone as if they were ants.

There was a great sense of contrast with his bruised and swollen face.

When they returned to Tang Tianyuan and their temporary residence silently, it was almost dawn.

Jiang Ran had just shown up when Tang Shixiang had already walked out from the middle of the room.

First, she glanced at Jiang Ran, and when she saw that he was relaxed and calm, she let go of her heart, then she looked at the old sect master behind him, and followed with a sigh of relief.

Finally, when her gaze landed on that Duo Demon Underworld King, her expression was slightly grave.

But since he was able to follow Jiang Ran and was even brought here by Jiang Ran, he shouldn’t be an outsider.

Then she came to Jiang Ran’s front:

“It’s almost dawn, this night didn’t seem to go too well?”

If it had gone well, it would have already been time to come back.

Jiang Ran nodded gently:

“It’s true that I’ve encountered some things …… that I can say slowly.

“Let me introduce you …… This is the Duo Demon Underworld King.”

Tang Shixiang froze, never expecting to hear this legendary figure here.

The Dodo Demon Underworld King, on the other hand, looked curiously at Tang Shixue.

Scratching his head, he said:

“What kind of martial arts did you girl practice? Heart Demon Thoughts? It should be partially ……

“Yet it’s not complete.

“It’s a bit like that martial art that Young Zun previously performed.

“Hmm …… not right not right.”

The Demon Ferrying Underworld King specialized in the Demon Entry Sutra, and when ordinary people faced him, they would often be able to see through his inner self with a single glance.

However, Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi, one practiced the Heart Demon Thought and the other practiced the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, and he couldn’t see through any of them.

Now that he saw this Tang Shixiang, with his eyes slightly deeper, he felt as if he was in a sea of fire and purgatory.

He couldn’t help but change his face drastically, and took two steps back one after another before looking at Tang Shixiang in disbelief:

“This feeling, this king has only been found on a person s body …… No, I should say that it is the body of a corpse.

“Could it be that what you’re practicing is the First Sorrow of the Ancient World?

“Is the brain broken? How could you go and cultivate this martial art?

“Listen to this king’s advice, this martial art cannot be practiced, don’t go back to practicing it while you’re still alive.”

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Ran again and shook his head repeatedly:

“It is said that the First Sorrow of the Ancient World possesses the power of long life and long sight after it is cultivated, but I advise you not to believe it.

“You are indeed worthy of being the young reverend of my sect, this girl has an unusual relationship with you at a glance, and you can’t even bear to let her help you live forever?”

“The …… Underworld King misunderstood.”

Tang Shixiang spoke faintly:

“First, the First Sorrow of the Ancient World is not impossible to cultivate successfully.

“I’ve already practiced it.

“Secondly, the person who made me cultivate the First Sorrow of the Ten Thousand Ancients wasn’t Shaozun, but myself.

“Also, this matter has nothing to do with the Underworld King, so I advise the Underworld King not to meddle in it.”

“……”

The Transdemon Underworld King couldn’t care less about the disrespect in Tang Shixue’s words, and said with disbelief:

“Practiced? You’ve practiced the First Sorrow of the Ten Thousand Ancients? Then wouldn’t you be the first person in all ages?”

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ran as if he wanted to seek confirmation.

Jiang Ran then gently nodded:

“She has indeed practiced it.”

The Transdemon Underworld King’s brows tightened as he suddenly said to Jiang Ran:

“Let me borrow a step to speak?”

“Have something to say.”

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:

“Among those present, the one I trust the least is you. Everyone else, it doesn’t matter about secrets.”

“…… Well well well.”

The Transdemon Underworld King almost laughed in exasperation:

“Alright, that being the case, then I’ll make it clear.

“The matter of cultivating into the First Sorrow of the Ten Thousand Ancient Worlds, I advise you not to make a big deal out of it.

“The First Sorrow of the Ancients has been recognized by many as an immortality pill.

“If it is known that your little daughter-in-law has practiced this martial art, this group of people will definitely come over to look for her in a heartless manner, capture her, and eat her alive.

“They would want to use the flesh and blood of the First Sorrow of the Ancients to achieve immortality,” he said.

“Or, if you want to live forever, you can also try and eat her?”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

“Where did such words come from?”

“It was said by the one who created the First Sorrow of the Ancient World himself.”

The Transdemon Underworld King bristled:

“But the number of people who know about it is limited …… so it hasn’t been widely publicized.

“But Jun He Ya should also know about this matter.”

Jiang Ran looked at Tang Shixiang with a somewhat grave expression.

Tang Shixi, on the other hand, smiled:

“Don’t worry is all.”

Whether or not one could live forever was not important at times, what mattered was whether or not one would fight for such a chance when it was right in front of them.

Many people in this world held the attitude that it was better to believe in something than nothing.

In the event that this matter was really widely publicized, Tang Shixie would indeed be in danger.

Even if Tang Shixie’s martial arts skills were high, with this group of people attacking in an endless stream, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t be in danger.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly:

“Then thank you for reminding the Underworld King.”

As the words fell, Jiang Ran was seen transporting his fingers as if they were flying, and the Dodo Demon Underworld King was stunned, and just as he was about to dodge, he felt a sudden dizziness in his mind.

Although it was only a short moment.

But also let him lose the first opportunity.

By the time he came back to his senses, his entire body had been nailed in place, unable to move.

He burst into a rage for a moment:

“What are you guys trying to do?”

“Nothing, just wanting to let the Underworld King know that you’re not trusted by us for the time being, so you need our people to look after you more.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“The Underworld King’s martial arts skills are world-class, I will specially formulate medicine that is suitable for the Underworld King, and at that time, the Underworld King won’t need to be this stiff, and will be able to move around freely.”

“…… You are outrageous!”

The Transdemon Underworld King was unruly, where could he accept Jiang Ran’s approach?

However, he was about to resist when he realized that Jiang Ran had clenched his fist.

After a moment of silence, the Dodo Demon Underworld King sighed:

“This king isn’t afraid of you, but you are after all a Young Zun, I can’t just ignore your words.

“That’s just it, just do as you say.”

As soon as these words came out, a laugh sounded out quite out of place.

The crowd followed the sound to see that Tang Tianyuan was standing not far away.

The Dodo Demon Underworld King raised his head to take a look, and his face darkened even further:

“Bad luck, I didn’t read the yellow calendar when I went out, and I actually encountered a dog.”

“The sight of the Underworld King being so defeated is truly rare.”

Tang Tianyuan laughed and came to the front, kneeling on one knee in front of Jiang Ran:

“My subordinate has met Young Sovereign.”

“Get up.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“It’s this hour and you’re still not resting?”

“There are guests in the house, so I have to fulfill my duties as a host, but I didn’t expect it to be the King of the Underworld arriving.

“The King of the Underworld has met Young Honored One?”

As he said this, he specifically glanced at the bruise on the Duo Demon Underworld King’s face.

He was ultimately different from Jiang Ran and the others, and knew the Duo Demon Underworld King extremely well, the two could be said to be from the same era.

Naturally, he knew his temperament and persona.

Even more so, he knew what he would do after meeting Jiang Ran.

Then it wouldn’t be hard to tell where this injury on his face came from.

It was just that this old man was so bad that after asking, he didn’t give the Duo Demon Underworld King time to answer and turned his head to look at the old Sect Leader, his face appearing worried:

“Old sect master this is?”

“Poisoned.”

Tang Yuyi said:

“The internal energy is gone for now, we have to let brother-in-law give it a look.”

“Then let’s stop talking outside and go in first.”

Tang Tianyuan took the lead, while Jiang Ran had another Transdemon Underworld in his hand.

After waiting until they reached the room, Jiang Ran placed the old sect master on the bed, letting the Duo Demon Underworld King pestle at one side.

Tang Tianyuan and the others all surrounded before the bed, Jiang Ran reached out and took the old sect master’s wrist, and after a moment, his brows knitted slightly:

“This poison …… if there is nothing, nothingness.

“It’s not good to solve ah.”

He said, ordering Tang Wuyi to fetch a small knife.

Jiang Ran borrowed the fire of the oil lamp to cauterize the blade of the knife, then gently slashed a knife along the old sect master’s wrist.

He also fetched a small porcelain bottle to catch some blood.

Only then did he bandage up the old sect master and said:

“This poison of his is a bit odd, I’m afraid I have to go back and find someone to study it.”

“I am not poisoned ……”

The old sect master’s voice rang out at this time.

When the crowd heard this, they immediately looked at the old man, and saw him slowly open his eyes, then rubbed his face:

“All there?

“It’s a bit humiliating to miss this time ……

“Ran’er ……”

Jiang Ran froze for a moment before reacting to being called, and hesitantly agreed.

Just then, he saw a bitter smile spread across the old sect master’s face:

“I am your grandfather.”

“……”

If this was a different person, Jiang Ran would have definitely beaten him full of peach blossoms, but at this moment, he couldn’t say anything other than silently nodding his head.

What people said was the truth.

“It’s just that, for a while, you won’t be able to accept it.”

He said and reluctantly wanted to sit up.

Jiang Ran then reached out to assist him.

Then he heard the old sect master say:

“Within the Tiger Wei Pass, Jun Heya shot and injured someone.

“I recognized his martial arts and showed up to stop him.

“After that we exchanged blows all the way to the Green Country, the two of us in one breath.

“But I didn’t realize that he had already made arrangements before that.

“I was poisoned by the Flute Clan’s parasites.

“And just like that, I was captured by him.”

“The Flute Clan’s compulsion?”

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

He looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand again.

The compulsion poison was treacherous and vicious, and there was naturally no benefit to being hit.

Among the various types of teachings the old drunkard had given Jiang Ran, he was most serious about compulsion.

He was also worried that when Jiang Ran walked the rivers and lakes in the future, he would encounter people from the Flute Clan and unknowingly fall into their tricks.

Therefore, Jiang Ran also had very deep attainments and research in the art of compulsion.

But the main focus was still how to prevent and detoxify the poison.

However, he was now completely at a loss as to what the old sect master had been poisoned by the parasites.

The old sect master nodded and looked at Jiang Ran:

“Your trip here is obviously for Jun He Ya.

“You need to be careful, there is an old crone by his side, holding a nine-sectioned snake staff in her hand, and her hand of compulsion is out of this world, extraordinary.

“If you encounter one, you need to strike first.

“On top of that, Jun He Ya’s side has several experts, none of whom are unusual.

“It’s just that I didn’t figure out what exactly these people were before he sent me to Yongning Temple.”

Jiang Ran nodded slightly:

“I know.

“It’s just that this person is extremely deep in hiding, first single-handedly directing the war between the Green Kingdom and the Golden Cicada, and now dragging Autumn Leaf into the fray.

“Although I feel that he should be in the Green Country right now.

“Yet I always feel …… that all the chaos in front of me is not what he wants.

“What he wants, should be hidden in the deeper depths, these …… are just the necessary conditions for him to travel to his true purpose.”

“Necessary conditions ……”

The old sect master was silent for a moment and said softly:

“Where is your master?”

“Ran away.”

Jiang Ran smacked his lips:

“When I meet him next time, I’ll break his legs first before anything else.”

“You should have done that a long time ago.”

The old sect master was unexpectedly very favorable.

Jiang Ran froze:

“I thought you guys were friends?”

“…… You would be friends with someone who steals a woman from your son?”

The old bishop rolled one eye.

Jiang Ran was dumbfounded, then laughed:

“I don’t have a son yet.”

“Give birth.”

The old sect master was instantly a bit angry:

“Your daughter-in-law has found you a good one, but you’re trying your best.

“It’s always possible to hold two in three years, right?

“Early birth, how long has the Young Zun building been deserted …… should also have a new master to live in.

“By then the holy maiden will also have to be selected again ……

“If this time, I’m not dead yet, and I can still tease my heavy grandchildren.”

A remark that directly caused Tang Shiyi to make a big red face.

Tang Yuyi instead looked at Jiang Ran with glowing eyes:

“I think what the old sect master said makes sense.”

“Alright, go back and give birth.”

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes and glanced at Tang Wuyi.

Tang Yuyi was stunned, and immediately also turned red, no longer daring to chime in.

In her heart, she was still wondering, ever since she reunited with Jiang Ran, she felt that Jiang Ran had changed.

In the past, he was sultry, but now he’s purely a Ming Sao.

And the aggressiveness is so strong!

In the past, at this time, he would only tell himself not to fool around.

Definitely wouldn’t respond like this.

For his part, the old sect master nodded repeatedly:

“You all said yes ah, don’t go back on your words.”

Tang Tianyuan was torn for a long time and couldn’t help but speak:

“A kiss always has to be made ……”

The Duo Demon Underworld King, who had been watching with cold eyes, couldn’t listen any longer.

What kind of Devil Sect meeting was this?

Those who didn’t know thought it was a neighborhood aunt gossiping here.

If it is spread out, does the Demon Sect still want to lose its face?

Couldn’t help but open his mouth and say:

“You guys enough ah ……”

The crowd nodded their heads, saying enough is enough, then Jiang Ran said:

“I still have things to do today, so I will leave first.

“This Underworld King will stay here for the time being, and I’ll trouble Elder Tang to help look after him.

“If you don’t listen, beat him if you need to, don’t be polite at all.”

“Yes, my subordinate obeys Young Lord’s imperial orders.”

Tang Tianyuan clasped his fists with a straight face.

It was only then that the Dodo Demon Underworld King realized the gravity of the matter and hurriedly said:

“Young Zun, wait, this Tang Tianyuan is loyal to your father, he naturally holds a grudge against me, if you give him the old man, I’m afraid that when I come back, I won’t even be able to see a piece of my intact corpse.”

Jiang Ran looked at Tang Tianyuan with some surprise at his words.

Tang Tianyuan hurriedly shook his head:

“Young Zun don’t listen to his nonsense, without Young Zun’s orders, how would I dare to act recklessly.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“First point, don’t get killed.

“Second point, he has to be able to talk.

“After all, he’s also a member of our Demon Sect, so a small punishment is fine, but forget about the excessive ones.”

“Yes.”

Tang Tianyuan immediately understood.

The Dodo Demon Underworld King froze, then became furious:

“Outrageous, surnamed Jiang, I didn’t come back with you to suffer this strange shame.

“You …… you have the ability to release me, you and I will fight three hundred rounds again!!!”

“Inexplicable, win all win, who still need to fight with you for three hundred rounds ……”

Jiang Ran shook his head, carried his hands behind his back and left the room with Tang Yuyi.

The two of them skipped back to the inn.

Jiang Ran’s side had just rolled the window in when he heard Ye Shockfang speak in a low voice:

“What person?”

“It’s me.”

Jiang Ran opened his mouth, and only then did Ye Jingfang exhale, pushing Ye Jingxue, who was sleeping like a good dead pig beside him:

“Wake up, big brother Jiang is back.”

“Don’t make a fuss …… I’m sleeping …… He’ll come back if he comes back ……”

Saying that, he rolled over and continued to sleep with his butt facing Ye Jingxue.

Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth and came to sit in front of the table:

“She is increasingly not treating me as an outsider.”

“It’s also quite good.”

Ye Jingshang came and sat down in front of Jiang Ran:

“Why this hour?”

She had the same thought as Tang Shixiang, if things had gone well, she would have returned long ago.

Jiang Ran then told the matter so and so.

When she waited to hear Jiang Ran finish, Ye Jingshuang’s face was grave:

“Surprisingly there is this kind of change, Yongning Temple underground is a Jianghu Heavenly Prison ……

“There is also the Transitional Demon Underworld King imprisoned himself for twenty years …… Jun He Yuya looking for him out of the mountain, what exactly is the matter for?”

Jiang Ran shook his head:

“Today’s hour is not enough, have to come back first, later I will go to find him to ask a clear.”

“Good.”

Ye Jingshang nodded.

Jiang Ran glanced at her and pulled over her hand:

“Didn’t sleep well all night?”

“Always worrying blindly.”

Ye Jingfang let out a bitter smile:

“Knowing that your martial arts skills are world-class and won’t be in any danger, but I always can’t help but think nonsense ……”

“Normal.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“People have lost their hands and horses have lost their hooves, who dares to say that they are always victorious and undefeated?

“Well, I’m back now, no need to worry, sleep.”

“I want you to hold me for a while.”

Ye Jingfang rarely burrowed into Jiang Ran’s embrace, Jiang Ran smiled dumbly, still wanting to say a few words to her, but then he realized that just as her head was placed on his shoulder, her person had already fallen asleep.

After pondering for a moment, he picked Ye Jingshuang up and came to the bed.

He removed the boots on one foot, and then kicked Ye Jingxue a little further in.

Just like this, holding Ye Jingfang and sitting diagonally on the bed, he also closed his eyes and dozed off.

This night was speechless up to this point, and on the turn of the day, the entire imperial capital was completely blown up.

“Yongning Temple was razed to the ground overnight!”

“Underground even dug a good many layers, inside a lot of monks and some long-famous jianghu masters.”

“What jianghu masters?

“Simply a group of notorious jianghu scum, imprisoned under the Yongning Temple ……”

All kinds of discussions were abuzz.

As for Zhen Cheng, after hearing this, his entire body was dumbfounded.

He had just told Jiang Ran that that person was imprisoned under the Yongning Temple …… Yongning Temple was razed to the ground.

Is this …… a coincidence?
