Chapter 565: Chapter 310: It’s Time for Temptation

After discussing with the Old Yellow Ox for a long time, Jiang Man still couldn’t figure out who exactly had attacked him.

But one thing was certain: the mainstream consensus of the Bai family was definitely not to kill him. Of course, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that those people had lost their minds and simply wanted him dead.

The main issue was that the Bai Family Ancestor had a grudge against Meng Qiewei. If the enmity was deep enough, there was a chance they might try to kill him. Or perhaps the Bai Family Ancestor had reached the end of his lifespan, while Meng Qiewei could still advance further. Therefore, ruining her now was his last chance.

"So the scope of suspects has actually widened?" Jiang Man said rather helplessly.

The Old Yellow Ox chewed on some grass, unbothered.

Jiang Man shook his head helplessly. Thinking too much was useless for him right now. It would be better to do what Ting Fengyin suggested: ask the Bai Family Ancestor when killing him. He might just get some answers.

Afterward, Jiang Man asked about Mu Kong’s situation, wanting to see if Old Huang had any better solutions.

The final answer was no.

Once an Evil God was captured, escaping became exceedingly difficult, let alone roaming freely across different regions. Furthermore, the Immortal Sect was only relatively friendly toward dead Evil Gods. In their eyes, only a dead Evil God was a low-threat Evil God. Any others were universally deemed major threats.

Being able to use a Secret Skill to separate a portion of the other party’s Divine Thought was already incredibly difficult. Jiang Man wasn’t surprised by this. After all, Ting Fengyin was more skilled in this area.

Next, Jiang Man asked about ancient Evil Gods who were proficient in Arrays.

"You can ask the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit to inquire about that. Because of the Immortal Dao Coordinate, there will definitely be some Evil Gods contacting her, either openly or in secret," the Old Yellow Ox said.

Jiang Man nodded and said curiously, "I wonder if Mr. Ji has received any greetings from the Evil Gods."

He had already sold the information. Now, it was just a matter of when they would approach Ji Hao. This wouldn’t be easy, as Ji Hao was a favored genius from the Immortal Sect. Those people would naturally have their reservations. It would take them some time before they dared to get close.

The next step was to condense an avatar for Mu Kong. He needed to get him out first before anything else.

First came the materials. Only three materials were needed in total:

One: the blood and flesh of an Evil God, or a substitute like the blood and flesh of a beast king from an Evil God Secret Realm.

Two: a Stone of Mountains and Rivers, or a substitute like a Millennium Water Spirit Jade.

Three: the aura of the specific Evil God.

The first was for shaping the avatar. The second served as a restraint and a vessel for habitation. The third was to establish a connection with the target.

Besides the materials, an Array was required to fuse these items together: the Divine Thought Reincarnation Array.

Setting up the Array was actually the easy part; operating it was what would be difficult. It required precise control, otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.

As for the materials... Jiang Man looked at the Old Yellow Ox.

The Old Yellow Ox, still chewing grass, met his gaze.

"Senior, I’m counting on you."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Old Yellow Ox finally asked, "Do you have the second material?"

Jiang Man was taken aback. He didn’t even know what a Stone of Mountains and Rivers was, so he figured it wouldn’t be easy to obtain. However, a Millennium Water Spirit Jade should be something he could buy.

"You can’t buy it. This jade is exclusively used by the Zhenyue Bureau," the Old Yellow Ox said.

Jiang Man froze again. He took out Zui Fusheng’s Token. "This one?"

Old Huang looked at the Token and fell silent.

"It seems the Evil God is meant to be contained in here," Jiang Man said, looking at the Token.

Now, he wasn’t lacking anything except the blood and flesh. After badgering him for half the day, he finally managed to scrape a tiny bit of blood and flesh from Old Huang. All that was left was researching the Array.

Jiang Man spent three days before he successfully completed his study of the Array.

During these three days, the three Ji family members had already learned of Jiang Man’s return, but they didn’t bring up the matter of supervising his Cultivation again. Instead, it was Jiang Man who asked if they had been cultivating diligently lately.

The three fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Afterward, Jiang Man announced that he was going to continue working hard on his Cultivation.

"We know you’re cultivating. You don’t have to say it every day," Ji Linglong said.

"Ji Meng isn’t this hardworking. Do you want to go and talk to her about it?" Ji Chenfeng suggested.

"I’m not going," Jiang Man shook his head. He felt that Miss Ji Meng’s Cultivation was already very high, so she didn’t need to push herself this hard.

Ji Shoumo said, "Starting in September, there will be more practical combat sessions. You need to be careful; Bai Qiufeng and his group might try to suppress your confidence. By the way, why was your mission so long this time?"

"I ran into some trouble, but it wasn’t a big deal," Jiang Man said casually.

It seemed the news from over there hadn’t trickled down yet. Although it would eventually make its way here, people who weren’t paying attention probably still wouldn’t know. Overall, it was just a simple disturbance, so it really wouldn’t spread too widely.

"Did the people who went with you attack you?" Ji Linglong asked.

Jiang Man shook his head. "No."

"But other people attacked me, and they still want to kill me," Jiang Man thought to himself. However, he didn’t voice it out. Even if they knew anything, it probably wouldn’t be clear.

Hearing this, the three were surprised. Nobody attacked him? Logically speaking, there should have been at least a minor conflict.

After pondering for a moment, they decided not to dwell on it. Instead, they began setting up Arrays and left once they were finished.

They had realized that supervising his Cultivation in person was nowhere near as effective as just setting up an Array. Not only that, but it also gave them time to cultivate themselves, sparing them the sight of watching Jiang Man cultivate and rapidly improve. Witnessing that was an easy way to develop a Heart Demon.

Even now, whenever they slacked off in their Cultivation, they could feel their Heart Demons stirring restlessly. This guy was toxic. When other people worked hard and pulled all-nighters to cultivate, they felt nothing watching them. But the fact that Jiang Man could improve after just a short burst of effort gave them an inexplicable sense of urgency. It made them easily anxious.

Meanwhile, the three Bai family members, who were secretly observing the three Ji family members, also felt the pressure—because these three people, whose Cultivation levels were roughly similar to theirs, were actually working this diligently.
