Chapter 539.
The small courtyard was quite quiet for a while.
Apart from Zhou Ye who was writing furiously, everyone was silent.
The people of the Tong family looked at Zhou Ye, who was lying on the ground writing the secret book, and then looked at Jiang Ran, who was sitting there, and their hearts could not help but be filled with emotions.
I thought that Zhou Ye was a rising star in the Jianghu Lake, his sword skill was high, his behavior was open and honest, and he was not afraid of the Thousand Forge Hall, nor was he afraid of the Devil’s Cult.
But I did not expect, just life and death crisis has not yet fallen, nature does not show.
Really want to die when, but than that thousand forging hall face black man, not much stronger.
Tong Yanlin was even more complex in his eyes.
Jiang Ran’s gaze swept over these people of the Tong family one by one, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.
The tip of his finger lightly tapped on the desktop:
“Tong He Sheng.”
Tong He Sheng was instantly jolted.
It was his turn?
He looked up at Jiang Ran:
“What do you want, Devil Father ……?”
Originally, he wanted to say something tough, but when the words came out of his mouth, he couldn’t get tough.
“What does this father want, it has to be seen, do you want to die, or do you want to live.”
Jiang Ran spoke softly, his tone even less ferocious.
“…… If living is worse than dying, it’s better to die dry.”
Tong He Sheng sneered.
Jiang Ran immediately nodded:
“This point this honored one agrees with.
“So, if you want to live, you can definitely live a good life as well.
“If you want to die, you must also die a very dry death.”
“Then, what do you say about wanting to live?”
Jiang Ran smiled at his words:
“Do this father a small favor, and the same this father can also do you a small favor.
“At the very least, during this period, any trouble that Thousand Forge Hall comes looking for, this father can help you block it.”
Tong He Sheng’s eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned:
“Then what favor does Demon Elder want to have me do for you?”
“Very simple.”
Jiang Ran said, “My father has something to do in the Li Kingdom, so I’d like to ask all of you from the Tong Clan to escort me. Lest there are too many people and you encounter some more ungrateful ones, setting off some unnecessary bloodshed.”
Tong He Sheng’s face sank, then said in a grave tone:
“What exactly do you …… Demon Dignity want to do in the territory of my Li Kingdom?”
“It’s not to kill your Emperor anyway.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“Nor is it to deal with your Jianghu …… If I have to say, probably, it’s for self-preservation.”
“Self-preservation?”
Tong He Sheng felt that this was a slip of the tongue.
Although the Golden Cicada because of this demonic religion, has already suffered from the back of the enemy.
But to say that this move could really eradicate the Demon Sect, that was something that no one would believe.
After all, there was no reason why the Demon Cult would definitely coexist with the Golden Cicada.
The move of the four countries, saying that it was for the purpose of eradicating the Demon Sect, was actually nothing more than an excuse.
They wanted to use this to take down the Golden Cicada and divide and conquer it.
Then came the Green Country.
The Emperor of Qing has just died, and the new Emperor has just ascended to the throne, his foundation is still unstable.
They encountered this kind of chaos.
As long as the Golden Cicada is defeated, the next moment, Li Guo Zhao Guo and Autumn Leaves, will target the Qing Dynasty.
Qing will not be able to resist.
When the Green Kingdom is destroyed, it will be the state of the three kingdoms.
But what does this have to do with the Demon Sect?
No matter which way you look at it, you can’t talk about letting the Demon Lord protect himself.
Tong He Sheng didn’t believe Jiang Ran’s words, but he couldn’t refute them to his face.
While he was struggling with what to say, the young man from the Tong Clan said in a cold voice:
“The Demon Dignitary really is a believer, and he can open his mouth to tell any lie.
“Just like when you lied to Zhou Ye just now, didn’t you not change your face?
“Nowadays, who knows, how much of this is true or false?”
“Well, that’s true.”
As Jiang Ran spoke, he reached out and suddenly wiped his hand on his face.
As if the water was raising waves, his face instantly turned into the face of that young man from the Tong Clan:
“Actually, this honored one doesn’t have to necessarily ask for your help.
“Anyway, with a face like this, who would be able to recognize my father’s identity?”
That young man from the Tong Clan’s face suddenly changed drastically:
“You …… you ……”
Jiang Ran stared at his face and smiled faintly:
“And yet, I don’t know that if my father wore this face and went to burn, kill, rape and pillage.
“This son of the Tong family, what do you think?
“I’m afraid that even if today is killed by my father in this hut.
“This reputation also has to be left behind for ten thousand years.”
“…… Outrageous, hall demon father, how, how you act can be so despicable and shameless?”
This young man from the Tong Clan’s back teeth were almost clenched.
Jiang Ran laughed heartily as he watched him get angry:
“This father likes to be despicable and shameless, what can you do about it?”
His young man from the Tong family was still about to speak when Tong He Sheng suddenly pressed down on his wrist:
“The demonic father is highly skilled, we are no match.
“Regardless of the outcome today, we will have to be kneaded by you at will.
“Therefore, we are willing to do this small favor for Demon Lord.
“We only hope that Demon Lord can keep his word. ……”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“In the end, it’s the old master, who’s not much stronger than this unseasonably young scion.”
Speaking here, he glanced at Su Qing:
“Divine Doctor Su, a few more cups of tea.”
Su Qing froze and was speechless for a while……. He only felt that when this person was posing as a dude, he called out to people.
After resuming his identity as a Demon Venerable, it was even more of a call for displeasure.
However, seeing as he saved his daughter’s life, it doesn’t matter if it’s cool or not, even if it’s to be a cow or a horse, what can be done about it? Or willingly run for him.
At that moment, Su Qing turned around and went to serve a few more cups of tea.
Jiang Ran added some spices to them one by one.
To Tong He Sheng and the others, he said:
“Please.”
Tong He Sheng stepped forward and picked up the tea cups:
“To the Demon Lord.”
After saying that, he drank it all in one go.
“Grandfather …….”
The young man from the Tong family and Tong Yanlin opened their mouths at the same time.
However, at this moment, it was useless to say anything else, as the saying goes, people are the chopping board of a sword and I am the meat of a fish, nothing more than that.
Then they had to go forward one by one, and will receive the tea.
Young people come together to sulk, Tong He Sheng is not to see anything different.
And this time, Zhou Ye has also come to the front, handing over a few pieces of paper in his hand:
“Your Holiness, please take a look.”
Jiang Ran casually took it over and read it at a glance, his fingertips gently tapped on the desktop, and suddenly smiled:
“I thought that you would only give half of it, leaving half as blackmail so that you could exchange it for your own life.
“But I didn’t expect you to be a little more forthcoming than my Holiness had imagined, that you would actually give the entire Eight Difficulties Sword Technique?”
“Your Holiness is invincible, although the Eight Difficulties Sword Technique is powerful, it’s just icing on the cake, not a blessing in the snow.
“Leaving half of it behind is only thought to be clever, yet it might offend His Holiness.
“What’s more, today to see Your Holiness divine power, originally let my heart to be convinced, hate can’t immediately come to join.
“Naturally when no reservation.”
Zhou Ye was energized.
Tong Yanlin heard here some can’t listen, can’t help but spit:
“Shameless ……”
Zhou Ye looked back at her and shook his head with a smile:
“I can’t agree with Lin’er’s words.
“As the saying goes, those who know what’s good for them are good at what they do, so how can it be considered shameless?
“Didn’t you guys drink that cup of tea as well?”
“That is ……”
Tong Yanlin had the intention to retort, but he really couldn’t say anything.
Sighing:
“From today onwards, you must not speak to me again.”
“Lin’er, you don’t understand …… but I don’t blame you, you will understand me in the future.”
Zhou Ye sighed softly.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled:
“Zhou Ye, you’re very good.
“This secret book isn’t a fake, this honored one is very satisfied.
“In addition, your attitude towards women is also very pleasing to this Honored One.
“Why would a great man not have a wife? When the world is all in my father’s hands, whatever kind of beauty you want, my father will oblige.”
Zhou Ye’s eyes lit up, and he immediately flung himself to his knees, kowtowing one head to the ground:
“Many thanks, Demon Elder!!!”
“Alright, get up.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“The poison I gave you, no need to take the antidote now.
“For the first year, you won’t feel anything.
“It will only kick in the second year.
“You only need to find my father and seek medicine with him before today next year.
“In addition …… although your sword skill is good, your internal energy is really too shallow …… which is not good.”
Saying this, he lifted his pen and wrote twenty three phrases on a paper and threw it to Zhou Ye:
“This is my Demon Sect’s Divine Skill, without the need to kill anyone to practice, you can draw internal energy at an extremely fast rate.
“However, this method cannot be held for …… long and practiced for a year at most.
“It is just right, after one year, you come to find my father, my father give you the antidote at the same time, will give you a new internal strength mastery.
“I expect that with this one year of internal kung fu as a foundation, by then you will definitely soar, and within three years you will be ranked among the top!”
Zhou Ye’s eyes flickered with essence, and he took this secret book over as if it was a treasure:
“Many thanks, Your Holiness, my subordinate will die in return!”
“Only those who are alive can work for this honored one, so there is no need for ten thousand deaths.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
“Now that you happen to have this Esteemed One to protect you, you immediately start practicing this feat.”
“Huh?”
Zhou Ye froze and looked up at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:
“How? Don’t dare to practice? Think that my father has tampered with this secret book?”
“…… Subordinate doesn’t dare.”
Zhou Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath:
“Subordinate, subordinate this will be practiced, just do not know this martial art, what is the name?”
“[Eight Side Storm Meeting Central State].”
Jiang Ran casually said a name, and incidentally gave back an explanation:
“The eight directions of rain and wind are the qi of heaven and earth, and Zhongzhou is the sea of qi and dantian.
“If the eight directions come to meet, how can the internal power not rise?”
Zhou Ye nodded his head repeatedly, not daring to ask any further questions, so he stepped to the side and slowly practiced his qigong.
As he lifted his qi in accordance with the decision of the heart, he really realized that the world is like an ocean, he was immersed in this ocean, flowing water from the meridian wandering, layers and layers of endless.
The wonderful taste of it, one can’t help but laugh wildly to the sky.
However, in the blink of an eye, it has been carried a small circumference, the internal force suddenly increased by two percent.
When he opened his eyes, Zhou Ye’s eyes emanated a refined aura:
“It really is exquisite …… although it cannot be held for a long time, only for a year.
“But this year, if I work hard, maybe without three years, I can be ranked at the top of the Jianghu Lake!!!”
He checked again and found that the meridians in his body were normal and his qi and blood had not changed in the slightest.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and stood up to thank Jiang Ran profusely.
Jiang Ran gently waved his hand at this:
“You can leave, go do what you originally wanted to do. There’s no need to report back to this father if there’s nothing going on.”
“This ……”
Zhou Ye froze, not expecting Jiang Ran to really let himself go so easily.
“Yes.”
He promised in a panic, but between turning around, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but hook up:
“Devil Duke …… Devil Duke!
“When there is a day, to tell you to know that if you don’t kill me today, just how big of a mistake you have made!!!”
At first the footsteps were slow, in the twinkling of an eye they were fast, and with another flash, they had disappeared.
Jiang Ran put his hand on the cooler, looked at it twice, and smiled slightly:
“Where is the Underworld King?”
“My subordinate is here.”
“Make an early preparation, spread the news all over the world, and say that the Eight Difficulties Sword Technique has come out of nowhere to suppress the jianghu.
“There’s no need to say who this sword technique was obtained by …… they will find it.”
Jiang Ran said softly.
Hearing this, Tong Yanlin couldn’t help but speak:
“Demon father, you’ll get him killed!!!”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Hasn’t Miss Tong heard a word?”
“What words?”
Tong Yanlin gritted her teeth, only feeling that nothing good could come out of Jiang Ran’s mouth.
“A precious sword sharpens from sharpening.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“He will eventually shake the jianghu and save the building from falling.
“In the end, help the Li Kingdom repel the Thousand Forge Hall.
“Achieving a period of jianghu myth.
“Only, when that moment comes, he will also be like a shooting star falling …… out of existence.”
“Discontinue to exist ……”
Tong Yanlin froze, turned around and wanted to chase out.
However, the steps had just taken a step, but then stopped.
Unsure if he should go or not.
Instead, Tang Yuyi’s voice came from his ears:
“Tsk tsk, didn’t even look back at you when you left.
“It’s really just, I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch ……”
Tong Yanlin gave Tang Yuyi a hard look.
Tang Yuyi not only didn’t avoid her eyes, but also gave her a slight smile:
“Do you think it’s apt?”
“……”
Tong Yanlin didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The moment she wanted to chase after him, all she thought about was Zhou Ye’s goodness.
But when she thought of Zhou Ye kneeling in front of Jiang Ran, groveling, she instantly felt sick.
Those so-called good, is not also all his calculation?
Has he ever given his heart?
Then why must he be sincere?
“In fact, if you want to know whether he’s sincere or not, wait until he becomes famous and then go to his side to take a look, won’t you know?”
Tang Yuyi was watching the fun:
“My brother-in-law is true to his word, if you guys do us a small favor, your lives won’t need to be worried.
“At that time you naturally still have the opportunity to meet again, just that will …… be whether he is your Zhoulang, or someone else s Zhoulang, it can be difficult to say.”
Tong Yanlin was silent for a moment at his words, and suddenly smiled:
“And what does this have to do with me?”
He just looked back at Jiang Ran, but was unsure:
“How did the demonic father assert that he would fall like a shooting star?”
Jiang Ran gazed at the Eight Difficulties Sword Technique in his hand, and after pondering for a while, suddenly a nameless fire started, and the entire piece of paper burst into flames.
Su Qing froze:
“It just burned?”
“Fake.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Although not all of them are fake, it is expected that there are some minor key deviations.
“As a result, it is plausible, and more likely to make their own sword law in the cracks, and thus subject to others.
“So ah, this sword technique, it’s best not to practice it.”
Speaking here, he glanced at the Frost Snow duo:
“However, the stone of its mountain can attack jade.
“Although he changed the details, the overall intention is extraordinary.
“When I turn back to the road, I’ll organize it and see if I can incorporate these things into the Jade Haze Sword Technique.
“So that I can tell your sword techniques to go to the next level.”
Ye Shocking Frost and Ye Shocking Snow nodded their heads in succession.
It was only at this point that Jiang Ran looked at Tong Yanlin and smiled faintly:
“Miss Tong is curious? But what reasoning does this father have to explain to you?
“To put it bluntly, all of you in the Tong family, from top to bottom, are now all prisoners of my father.
“Therefore, this father advised the girl, it’s better to be more decent.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know in order to live a long, long life.”
Tong Yanlin heard the words immediately only feel a breath directly blocked in the throat, finally closed his eyes, hard to swallow back.
Jiang Ran smiled at this and did not say much.
He naturally wouldn’t tell Tong Yanlin that the martial art he taught wasn’t the Eight Sides of the Storm will be Zhongzhou at all.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t such a martial arts name.
It was just that it was a sword technique that Tang Yuyi had once performed when she impersonated Li Tianxin.
It didn’t even have anything to do with internal martial arts.
The reason why it was able to accumulate internal energy in a short period of time.
Instead, it was at the cost of consuming lives.
This martial art was discovered by Jiang Ran within the forbidden pavilion of the Demon Sect, and was called [Soul Drawing Lamp], using the soul as a guide, and injecting the life to light the lamp.
When practicing it, one would gain great pleasure, making one unable to stop.
This is a devil who likes to enjoy the people in the religion, created out of self-indulgence.
During the process, one will not experience the slightest difficulty, but on the contrary, one’s internal strength will surge and one’s body will be well circulated.
But …… the time of cultivation cannot exceed three months.
In fact, for every month of cultivation, one must rest for a year, thus conserving oneself.
But, after truly practicing this martial art, one will be attracted by the overwhelming comfort of it to the point of becoming obsessed.
The person who created this martial art died under it.
Although he gained great internal strength in a short period of time, he eventually died of exhaustion.
At that time, the Devil Sect was still unaware of the hidden dangers of this martial art.
It wasn’t until another disciple died because of this martial art that the power was realized.
Since the past to the present, there has not been any person who can continuously practice this skill for one year.
All of them died on the way.
However, Zhou Ye seems to have been lucky enough to obtain the Eight Difficulties Sword Technique.
In case he gets any more powerful means to neutralize this martial art, it may not be impossible.
So it was still necessary to keep an extra eye on it.
And instead of letting himself alone keep an eye on it, it would be better to let the entire Jianghu keep an eye on it.
After waiting for him to go out from this small courtyard and utilize the Eight Difficulties Sword Technique, a sword technique, he would never have peace again.
“Thousand Forge Hall’s invasion of the Leaving Country will not be a whim.
“I’m only afraid that it’s a game of chess that the Zhaoguo is playing for the future, and behind the Zhaoguo is hiding Jun Heya.
“But whatever he wants, then he must always be denied.
“This is not today’s top priority ……
“The Thousand Forge Hall will then let Zhou Ye go for a head start.”
After Jiang Ran did a bit of reckoning of these things in his mind, he looked at the color of the sky and laughed:
“The hour is not early …… The things that should be done are also done, we should also depart.”
Looking back at Su Qing:
“You guys also have to move a home.”
