Chapter 455.
The Heavenly Devil’s Great Freedom was a concept.
A kind of yearning that does not set any shackles in the heart, to do as one pleases, to be free and unrestrained.
The so-called devil is in the heart, that is, there will always be people who are not willing to live according to the rules and regulations of this world.
As long as there are people who still aspire to this, the Devil Cult will never disappear.
When the power of the Devil Sect is weakened, it may be broken by the strongest masters of the time, and it will be torn apart.
But this is only temporary.
There was no one that could truly erase the Demon Sect from this world.
Chu Yuniang saw this point.
And after observing Jiang Ran for some time, she realized that instead of fighting against the Demon Sect with that kind of obsession and not being able to stop the Demon Sect from spreading, it would be better to take advantage of Jiang Ran’s time as the Demon Sect’s Demon Lord and stay by Jiang Ran’s side.
Try to change the Demon Sect from Jiang Ran.
Again, this was something that Jiang Ran had done.
So, to a certain extent, the two of them weren’t actually enemies.
Whether or not this was a once-and-for-all solution she didn’t know, but compared to using force to break up the Demon Sect once again, the former was undoubtedly much easier.
Loud drums didn’t need heavy hammers, and talking to smart people didn’t need to be so troublesome.
Jiang Ran understood what Chu Yuniang meant, while Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran:
“So, what exactly do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to do to them?”
Jiang Ran rubbed his chin and said:
“You want to join the Demon Sect, this is only not easy.
“Although my Demon Sect is compatible, it’s still a bit too much to let Chu Nanfeng’s descendant join …… it.
“Also …… I know what you want to do.
“But don’t be too naive in everything. Just from what I have learned so far …… the two words Devil Cult some times tend to mean fear, sin, and some people just because you are involved with these two words, even if you have done nothing, you must die.”
“You’re talking about the Three Monks of Evil Abstinence?”
Chu Yuniang sighed softly, the death of those three monks, she had long guessed that it was Jiang Ran’s hand.
These words were also considered a corroboration.
Jiang Ran poured a cup of tea and said softly:
“So, tomorrow is not destined to be too peaceful.
“Some people will have to die after all, otherwise, it won’t achieve the effect I want.
“If you want to help them, don’t think that I can accept you ……
“Also, just to remind you, what you said tonight has forced yourself onto the tightrope of a ten thousand foot cliff.
“I can call you into a dilemma if I want to.
“It is never wise to put yourself in such a situation.”
Chu Yuniang fell into silence.
The moment words like she wanted to join the Devil Sect were uttered, Jiang Ran indeed had ways to deal with her.
She could casually ask for a certificate of surrender, and then announce to the world that Chu Nanfeng’s descendant had joined the devil’s sect.
Chu Yuniang this life, will no longer have the opportunity to stand on the side of the righteousness, on Jiang Ran to draw the sword against …… her from now on also not allowed in the righteousness.
She could only walk down one path until she was black.
If she fails, in the centuries to come, whenever someone mentions Chu Nanfeng, they will pull out this unworthy descendant of theirs and scold them.
This was all a fact that was right in front of his eyes.
“So, you can see that I am determined.”
Chu Yuniang took a deep breath:
“This matter, you can carefully consider …… if you and I won’t be too far apart in our thoughts, I’m willing to take a step back.”
Jiang Ran gazed at Chu Yuniang and smiled dumbly:
“Just worry, you can’t help yourself in the end when it comes to your body, you can only retreat again and again.”
“If it really falls into this situation, then it can only be considered that I, knowledge of people is not clear ……”
Chu Yuniang’s attitude did not change.
Jiang Ran’s fingertips lightly tapped on the desktop, then stood up:
“I’ll give this matter some thought, likewise, you think more about it.
“Well, since your martial arts have been restored, there’s no need to continue restricting it, Miss Chu just do whatever you want.”
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the room and directly walked out.
Chu Yuniang watched his back disappear from view before she gently exhaled.
This action tonight wasn’t just a good deal of determination, it likewise bore a huge risk.
She didn’t dare to guarantee that Jiang Ran would directly kill himself without a second thought when he realized that he had recovered his martial arts.
Although Jiang Ran himself would say that he was greedy for flowers and lustful.
Initially, Chu Yuniang also often had this type of crisis awareness …… for fear that Jiang Ran would do something to her.
But after experiencing such a long time.
She could be sure that even if Jiang Ran’s greed for flowers was true, when he wanted to destroy flowers, he definitely wouldn’t have a single moment of hesitation.
Therefore, Chu Yuniang simply could not guarantee that she would be safe and sound.
The good thing was that nowadays she was still alive.
And also smoothly took a step forward ……
She wanted to take a path that was very different from that of her predecessors, and now she didn’t know whether it was right or wrong.
But facing someone like Jiang Ran, this would have been her only way.
After closing her eyes and stabilizing her mind a little, she closed the door to her room.
Only then was the night completely peaceful.
……
……
The next day, Zhen Cheng got up early in the morning.
Although he didn’t know when the people from the Demon Sect would arrive today, he should naturally arrive a little earlier if he could.
Therefore, after climbing up and straightening up a little, he went to find Jiang Ran.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he didn’t see Jiang Ran first, he saw Tian Miao Miao squatting on the ground and washing her face.
His footsteps suddenly became very light ……
The time he spent with Tian Miaomiao yesterday wasn’t long, but this girl gave him a deep impression.
He really didn’t want to disturb her if it wasn’t necessary.
At the same time there was another thing that was also recognized by Zhen Cheng …… that is, Jiang Ran’s side, there is no one who is easy to deal with.
Structure he did not lighten his footsteps okay, this footsteps lightened, in turn, was discovered by Tian Miaomiao.
Glancing back at him, he burst out laughing:
“Wooden face, you’re here!”
“……”
Zhen Cheng said with a dark face:
“Girl, my name is Zhen Cheng.”
“You’re not Wooden Face?”
Tian Miao Miao felt puzzled.
“…… Yes.”
Zhen Cheng was unable to refute that half of his face was made of wood:
“But my name is Zhen Cheng.”
“Then your face is still wood.”
Tian Miaomiao instantly put her heart down:
“Wooden face, you’re here!”
How come you have to greet her all over again?
Zhen Cheng decided not to waste words with her here:
“Where’s your son?”
“Your son is in his room.”
She reached out and pointed.
Subconsciously, Zhen Cheng was about to head over to Jiang Ran’s room, then he heard Tian Miao Miao say:
“Madam is also there.”
Without even thinking, Zhen Cheng hurriedly took two steps back.
Then he clasped his fists and said:
“Brother Jiang, Zhen Cheng pays a visit.”
“Come in, the door is unlocked and the clothes are all neatly dressed.”
Jiang Ran’s voice came from inside the house.
Zhen Cheng froze, feeling as if the tone was a bit strange, but without thinking much, he pushed open the door of the room and went in.
Sure enough, he saw that Jiang Ran was sitting on the bed, with one hand wrapped around Ye Jingshuang and one hand wrapped around Ye Jingxue, and was talking about something right next to Ye Jingxue’s ear.
Giving Ye Jingxue a blush as he spoke.
Zhen Cheng hated that he could not dig his own eyes.
This early in the morning, what kind of things have been seen?
“Sit.”
Jiang Ran seemed to be fine, reaching out to let Zhen Cheng sit down first.
Zhen Cheng was about to obediently sit down, but suddenly reacted:
“What are you sitting for? Time waits for no one, we have to hurry and set off.
“The Devil Cult will arrive at some point, it will be too late if we go late.”
“…… line line line.”
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“That is, then let’s go, right, breakfast eaten?”
“Didn’t eat ……”
“Then a moment to eat some.”
“Good.”
Zhen Cheng felt that this conversation was bizarre as if he was chatting with his neighbor’s second brother, where was half the wave of ambushing a demonic sect?
But Jiang Ran said to go and moved quickly.
He directly asked Tian Miao Miao to find Luo Qing Yi, and soon the group was fully loaded and ready to go.
Jiang Ran, Ye Shockfrost, Ye Shockxue, the Eldest Princess, Luo Qingyi, Princess Xiyue, including Liu Mucheng, all the people and so on were all present.
Zhen Cheng glanced twice and felt as if there was someone missing.
Recently, Jiang Ran seemed to have a little girl by his side, and he didn’t know what kind of person she was, but he couldn’t be bothered to inquire about the girl’s family.
This will but did not see ……
But it wasn’t worth thinking much about.
Maybe it was just a passerby?
Immediately, he called up Chen Mu and the other disciples of the Xuanji Academy, and the group went out the door.
There was a large tavern in this Qi’an Town.
The restaurant quoted the name of the town, and it was called Seven An Building.
The Seven An Building spanned across two parts of the street and was connected by a wooden cloister.
Standing on top of the cloister, one could see the largest street in Seven An Town, as well as the two entrances in front and back of Seven An Town at a glance.
It could be said that standing here, one could have the Seven An Town in their view.
Nowadays, in the cloister, there were already people.
Although the second floor was overcrowded, no one went forward to fight for that position.
Zhen Cheng explained to Jiang Ran:
“This person is the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Baili.
“His family’s mastery can enhance his ears and eyesight, and with him here, he will be able to detect the slightest breeze in the two portals in the first place.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
And just as he nodded, that Xiao Baili seemed to have heard them and glanced towards them.
Jiang Ran immediately grinned at him.
Xiao Baili wasn’t interested in this worthless smile, and after glancing at it with some disgust, he resumed sitting there without saying a word as if he were an old monk.
“It’s still quite high and cold.”
Jiang Ran laughed at Zhen Cheng.
Zhen Cheng also smiled:
“That’s …… true, the four great families all have their own pride.”
“Then doesn’t the pride of the Autumn Family lie in a lineage?”
Jiang Ran said casually.
“……”
Zhen Cheng cried and laughed:
“The Autumn Family’s [Thousand Autumn Leader] is also an unparalleled mastery …… Thousand Autumn Leader is only passed down to the family head, otherwise, the Autumn Second Duke wouldn’t have to go out of his way to do this.”
And speaking of the Autumn Family, Jiang Ran had already seen Bai Lu and Jin Ge.
Bai Lu and Jin Ge had also seen Jiang Ran at that moment.
Immediately, they stood up and wanted to invite him to sit with them.
Jiang Ran waved his hand and told them to sit down first, he had other arrangements on his side.
The arrangement wasn’t particularly good, there wasn’t even a window seat.
However, the table wasn’t small, so everyone was able to sit down, surprisingly all of them were able to sit down.
Of course, this is also because Chen Mu of the Xuanji Academy took his own senior brothers and sisters and went to make peace with the people of the Xuanji Academy first, otherwise, it would be impossible to sit down.
Jiang Ran asked Zhen Cheng:
“You’re not going to find the people from the Hundred Wood Sect?”
“I’m in a supreme position, if their group of juniors don’t come to me, how can there be a reason for me to go to them?”
“Awesome awesome.”
Jiang Ran stuck out his thumbs, then looked for Little Brother Two.
Although this was a place where a group of Jianghu heroes gathered, ready to fight to the death against the Demon Sect.
But in the end, it was still a restaurant.
It was so full early in the morning, but if all of them came over to occupy a table and drink a cup of water, then the owner of the restaurant would have to cry to death.
Jiang Ran found Little Brother Junior, and in the blink of an eye, he asked for a large table of food and wine.
“Anyway, it’s still early and everyone hasn’t eaten anything, so let’s eat and watch.”
Zhen Cheng naturally had no opinion.
As a course of wine and dishes was served, the crowd began to move their chopsticks.
Jiang Ran looked around from time to time as Zhen Cheng explained to him what the status of these people were.
In one corner of the restaurant, a few big monks sitting on the floor naturally needed no introduction.
It was the senior monks of the Da Fan Zen Academy.
The four great families, except for the Xiao family’s Xiao Baili, everyone else was also in this courtyard, each finding a seat by the window.
For their part, most of the people from the Six Sects were in the opposite building.
There were also some who were the scattered people of the Jianghu.
There were always some experts in the Jianghu who were neither among the six sects nor from the two courtyards and four families, yet they were able to create a great name.
For example, the master of the Winning Divine Blade, the Rong Divine Blade Win White Eyebrows, was such a person.
In addition to him, there are also some good fighters who have made a name for themselves in the jianghu.
In addition to the six gates, two courtyards, and four great clans in today’s arena, the most notable ones were two people.
One was an old man with white eyebrows.
This person is dressed in white, white beard and white eyebrows, holding a wooden staff in his hand, floating as if the old gods had descended to earth.
This person is called Tao Gong Tao Shan Weng.
It is said that the martial arts training and its amazing.
Zhen Cheng told Jiang Ran, don’t look at the name of the peach good Weng and good, people also look good, when young is a not very good Lord.
Carrying a peach wood staff, he dared to go to the six gates to block the door and challenge the six gates’ experts.
Often beaten by the six gates to hold his head.
But after being beaten today, he still dared to go tomorrow.
Over and over again, his martial arts skills became more and more powerful.
At his peak, he faced the two masters of the six gates alone, and surprisingly did not lose.
Although this is not to say that his martial arts must be above the two gate masters, after all, martial arts fighting, can affect the final victory or defeat of the elements is too much.
But after this battle, his reputation also rocketed upwards.
And as he grew older, his temperament became softer and softer.
Nowadays, because of his smiling face, he is very much loved by the younger generation in the Jianghu.
As for the other person, it was Shang Wuming who sat next to Bai Lu.
This person is also a legend.
Zhen Cheng told Jiang Ran, this person since childhood family is not good, although the nature of good martial arts, and extraordinary qualifications, but seek to learn no door.
Either he encountered fraudsters, or he had evil intentions.
So much so that at the age of twenty or so, martial arts is still only skin deep.
Not even a decent sword.
Then suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in the jianghu, but three years ago.
Reappeared in the jianghu Shang Wuming, has not been and is not in the past years of the nameless person.
Although his sword is still like a joke, but also in no one dares to laugh at him.
The people who laughed at him have all been defeated under the long sword that looks like a joke.
It is rumored that this person between three years, the size of the battle experience eighty-six games, from the street gangsters, to the jianghu celebrities, from the killers, to the dead soldiers …… dangerous to the extreme battle at least thirty, but never had a defeat.
Above that long sword that looks like a joke, it is stained with the blood of all kinds of characters.
Of course, it was unknown if this person’s martial arts could surpass the four great families’ patriarchs, the six gates’ masters, one presiding officer of the two courtyards, and one head of the courtyards.
They didn’t have much chance to fight each other either.
“With these two here today, that mostly won’t be bad ……”
Zhen Cheng gently stroked his chin:
“Although the Devil Sect has many experts, but we here, it may not be worse.”
Jiang Ran, however, suddenly smiled at this moment:
“Brother Zhen, do you think that what came today is really the Devil Cult?”
The moment these words came out, not only Zhen Cheng, but also the people at the surrounding tables, looked at him at the same time.
Zhen Cheng froze:
“What does Brother Jiang mean by this?”
“Jiang Ran can be the Winning Divine Blade, and the Devil Cult may not really be the Devil Cult either. ……
“Your country’s jianghu is stormy and always unpredictable in terms of what’s true and what’s false,” he said.
“Who can lift the clouds and fog and get to see the real thing?”
Jiang Ran poured himself a glass of wine but didn’t drink it; instead, he used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of lamb rib, dipped it in the spices, and ate it with relish.
Zhen Cheng frowned as he watched:
“Eating lamb early in the morning, you’re not afraid of catching fire?”
Hearing Zhen Cheng say this, the people at the side table instantly became a bit unable to hold back:
“What does this brother mean by that?
“You’ve seen that Jiang Ran villainous thief?”
The sweat on Zhen Cheng’s head came out in a flash.
Shouting Jiang Ran’s name in front of Jiang Ran’s face.
Why is there always this kind of person who wants to live longer?
Jiang Ran wasn’t angry and said with a smile:
“I’ve seen it, but unfortunately, it’s a fake.
“According to his own words, he’s actually the disciple of the former Rong Shen Blade, Winning White Eyebrows, Winning Divine Blade.
“Posing as Jiang Ran to assassinate Princess Xi Yue of the Autumn Leaves Ancient Kingdom.
“It’s just to plant evidence to frame her. ……
“Of course, let’s put aside whether the latter is true or not.
“But the former, however, is a thousand times true.”
The people in the arena looked at each other for a moment.
One person was seen standing up and asked in a deep voice:
“Little brother, is this statement true? Do you have any supporting evidence?”
Jiang Ran glanced at him, the one who spoke was the head of the Ye Family, Zhen Cheng had introduced this person as Ye Xuan.
Immediately, he smiled:
“What kind of corroboration does Ye Family Lord want?”
“Corroboration that can prove that what you say is true.”
Jiang Ran said after a moment of contemplation:
“Then if I say that I once encountered the Winning Divine Blade, assassinated Princess Xi Yue, and made a move to save Princess Xi Yue, would Family Lord Ye be willing to believe it?”
“…… How do I prove it?”
“Does a human witness count?”
“Human witnesses …… naturally count, but it also depends on what kind of person?”
“Him.”
Jiang Ran reached out and pointed at Zhen Cheng, then looked back at the few monks of the Da Fan Zen Academy who had their eyes on their noses, noses on their mouths, and mouths on their hearts:
“In addition, the Great Brahma Zen Monastery’s Master Cessation Delusion was also present in the room at the time,” he said.
“If you can’t trust this Zhen Cheng who is full of credulous words, you can also ask the monks of the Da Fan Zen Academy who were present whether what I said was false or true?”
