“This junior is unable to make the decision.”
Jiang Lan stood up apologetically.
He could not agree. If he did, his life would be in danger.
In the past, after much consideration, he might have agreed.
But now…
Agreeing to it would expose his uniqueness, and he might not even be able to return.
He was worth more than the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince had two fortuitous opportunities, and he…
He had a complete Deity Position.
“It looks like Kunlun has been protecting you well.” Ran Jing smiled and did not mind Jiang Lan’s reply.
She seemed to be just asking casually.
After chatting for a while more, Jiang Lan and Ao Longyu left.
Ran Jing watched them leave before shaking her head.
“Are they really just puppets?”
“Ao Man was born as an innate immortal. He is proud and arrogant. He does not respect others but neither does he humiliate others. For him to call someone brother-in-law so sincerely means that he must not be an ordinary person. This trip to the Dragon Race is an opportunity for him. The dragon race won’t hurt him. He should understand.”
Besides, she had already made up her mind to stay. Kunlun would not be worried.
Just now, if Jiang Lan asked any more questions, she would use the excuse of accompanying the Goddess to stay.
She would return when Jiang Lan returned.
But…
The other party’s reply made her speechless.
…
Jiang Lan and Ao Longyu headed towards the Ninth Summit.
They walked shoulder to shoulder.
Jiang Lan turned to look at Ao Longyu and noticed that his Senior Sister’s eyes were calm and her face was as cold as ever.
It was impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.
A moment later, Ao Longyu stopped.
Jiang Lan was confused as well.
“Junior Brother.” Ao Longyu turned to look at Jiang Lan.
At this moment, Ao Longyu had a normal appearance. Her figure was graceful, and her peerless appearance was elegant and cold.
“What does Senior Sister want to say?” Jiang Lan asked.
“Junior Brother, are you not going to hold my hands?” Ao Longyu placed her hand in front of Jiang Lan.
“…”
“Should I tie a rope?” Jiang Lan thought.
However, he still reached out his hand, grabbing Senior Sister Ao’s hand. It was extremely soft.
“Senior Sister didn’t say much just now.”
“Yes, but that’s because Junior Brother stole the limelight.”
“If Senior Sister turned smaller, you could have snatched it back.”
“That’s because I deliberately let Junior Brother steal the limelight.”
…
When Xiao Yu returned to the Jade Pool, it was already the next evening.
Seeing her mother had affected her quite a bit.
She had hoped that her mother would be as easy to get along with as her brother, but…
Her hopes were dashed.
Last night, Jiang Lan meditated for a while. When he woke up, he saw that Xiao Yu’s eyes were red.
The last time he saw Xiao Yu’s red eyes was when she knew that she was engaged to him.
Because Xiao Yu was trying to endure it, he could only close his eyes and pretend to continue cultivating.
Xiao Yu sat beside him.
…
Returning to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan opened the Goddess Diagram.
After confirming that there were no problems, he decided to start cultivating.
These few days, he had been familiarizing himself with his new realm.
Three days later.
A sound came from outside.
Something had happened in the Kunlun Main Hall.
“Witchcloud Gathering?”
Probably not.
After that, Jiang Lan didn’t care about it and continued cultivating.
There had been a lot of things happening recently, and he didn’t have much time.
His main focus was on his Power of Nine Bulls. He was familiar with it, and so was his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.
Just as he closed his eyes, his master’s message flew into the Netherworld Cave again.
He knew he had to be more or less involved in what was going on out there.
“Cleaning out intruders?”
Jiang Lan was surprised.
There were intruders in Kunlun?
Soon, he figured out who it was.
There were many Underground Devils lurking around Kunlun.
They had even planned on attacking personal disciples.
“Is Master making me treat them as training targets?”
Jiang Lan stood up and left with the vegetative egg.
According to his master, it was rare to have enemies.
He could give it a try.
Was it rare?
He met enemies often.
In the past three hundred years, he had encountered fights more than ten times.
Come to think of it, it happened once every thirty to forty years.
It was indeed rare.
…
Kunlun Main Hall.
Jiang Lan stood in a corner and looked at the people gathered here as if he was looking at the stone tablet in the middle.
“What do you think is on the stele?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him.
Jiang Lan turned around and saw that his two Junior Brothers were conversing with each other and not talking to him.
They were two Golden Cores.
“I heard it’s the battle record ranking. The Devil Race has infiltrated the mountains around Kunlun. This seems to be based on every individual’s battle record.”
“How does it calculate one’s battle record?”
Jiang Lan was also a bit confused. Did one have to bring back the enemies’ heads?
If that was the case, it was nothing.
He was afraid that there might be some kind of array formation where it counted every single one he killed.
Then…
That would not be good for him.
At this moment, Jiang Lan heard some bad news.
“I don’t know. It seems to be a stone stele prepared by the Fifth Summit. We’ll know the details when we go up and take a look.”
Jiang Lan watched as the two Golden Core Junior Brothers headed forward.
He followed.
He knew a lot about array formations, but he didn’t dare to casually alter them.
Soon, he understood the rules. It recorded one’s battle records like a recording Dharma treasure.
It was just a simplified version of it.
It would record every corpse.
After which, it would calculate one’s total results.
This way, there wouldn’t be any problems and it would not affect him.
It was just that this time, there were rankings of individual accomplishments and achievements of various summits.
The individual result didn’t matter. But for the achievements of the various summits…
He was the only one in the Ninth Summit, and his personal strength represented the strength of a summit.
With his current cultivation, if he were to be an average joe, he would not be criticized or paid attention to.
It was good to appear slightly above average.
After receiving the recording Dharma treasure, Jiang Lan planned to head out to look for the Underground Devils.
Outside Kunlun, Jiang Lan was thinking about which direction to go.
“Junior Brother, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
Jiang Lan heard someone approaching.
He turned around and saw that it was a young man. He was indeed hitting on him.
“Senior Brother, you look familiar too.” Jiang Lan lowered his head and greeted him.
This Senior Brother was indeed familiar. He was at the perfected Void Refinement Realm.
It was as if he could transcend the tribulation and become an immortal at any time.
“First Summit’s Ji Jiang.” Ji Jiang said with a smile.
“Ninth Summit’s Jiang Lan.” Jiang Lan had already remembered who the other party was.
The Senior Brother who had led the way to proceed backward in the Kunlun Temple.
He had a perfected Void Refinement cultivation back then and had yet to advance to the Human Immortal Realm. He was probably suppressing it and waiting for the best opportunity.
“It’s an honor to meet you.” Ji Jiang looked at Jiang Lan with envy.
Who wouldn’t be envious of someone who had been distributed a Dao companion by the sect?
“Right, Junior Brother is looking for the Underground Devil Race, right?” Ji Jiang smiled and asked.
“Do you want to listen to Senior Brother’s suggestions?”
“Many thanks for Senior Brother’s guidance.” Jiang Lan humbly asked for guidance.
Regardless of whether it was his Senior Brothers or Sisters, he always treated them with respect.
This way, he would not offend others, nor would he make enemies for no reason.
It was the same for his Junior Sisters and Brothers. He did not know if they had any secrets like him.
However, he still had to be on his guard.
“The Underground Devil Race likes to hide in the shadows, so we might run into them in the forest. But their most likely hiding place should be underground. Especially under a cave.” Ji Jiang looked at Jiang Lan and said.
“Therefore, it’s best to find a few strong ones or follow some strong Senior Brothers and sisters to surround a cave.”
After chatting for a while, Jiang Lan sent Senior Brother Ji Jiang off.
This Senior Brother’s view was very unique.
Woods, ponds, caves, and especially underground caves, were the easiest to find.
So…
He would not go to these places.
They were too dangerous.
