Chapter 150 - Alright, He’s Dead
Chapter 150: Alright, He’s Dead
They walked down the Kunlun Main Hall.
Jiang Lan looked at Ao Longyu.
She should be returning to the Jade Pool.
The Goddess couldn’t leave the Jade Pool for too long, so she, who had been out for a day, should return.
“Senior Sister wants to return to the Jade Pool?”
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
Ao Longyu merely nodded in response to Jiang Lan’s question.
She didn’t wait for Jiang Lan to speak again. She quickly took out a blue pearl and handed it over.
At this moment, she lowered her head and said in an unperturbed voice.
“I’m returning this to you.”
Bead? Jiang Lan found that it looked familiar.
When he received the bead, Ao Longyu raised her head slightly to glance at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan naturally saw Ao Longyu as well. At this moment, he could sense some complicated emotions in Ao Longyu’s eyes.
Then, he saw the other party’s gaze dodging his.
“I’m going back.”
Ao Longyu left on her sword.
She didn’t give Jiang Lan any time to react.
Watching Ao Longyu leave on her sword, Jiang Lan was surprised.
The gentleness when she lowered her head was like the shyness of a lotus flower that couldn’t stand the cool wind.
These words appeared in his mind.
“What did she give me to make her like that?”
Surprised, Jiang Lan examined the bead, and then he somewhat understood.
No wonder she said that she was returning it to him.
This was the bathing scene he gave Xiao Yu previously.
Finally, he placed the bead properly.
It was already different from the first time he obtained this bead.
This bead was no longer a simple transaction item.
After he could no longer see Ao Longyu’s figure, Jiang Lan walked towards the Ninth Summit.
Walking at night could keep him awake and give him some time to think.
From the very beginning, he had thought that Ao Longyu would be cold and indifferent, or perhaps even look down on him.
But he realized that wasn’t the case. The other party had accepted the marriage and didn’t hate him.
He had thought that was it.
However, the other party had just given him the recording Dharma treasure.
This made him feel that the other party wanted to develop their releationship in a better direction.
This engagement, even if he had the strength to destroy it in the future, he would not be able to do so.
He didn’t think too much about it. For now, there was nothing else he needed to do. He would go back into seclusion and approach the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.
Then, he would go out to seek the opportunity to become an immortal.
When it was his time, he would then allow his cultivation on the surface to rise to that of an immortal.
However, when he walked to the forest near the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan felt that something was amiss.
He looked back and frowned.
“There was a fluctuation coming from the array formation just now?”
Without any hesitation, he quickened his pace and returned to the Ninth Summit as soon as possible.
He wanted to use his sword, but his target was too tricky.
Although he wasn’t sure why there was a fluctuation in the array formation, this forest was huge and it was easy for something to happen.
After walking for a while, Jiang Lan noticed two people approaching him.
Two rather disheveled men.
“No, they’re going to catch up.”
“I have to think of a way to leave Kunlun.”
They were a little flustered, but as soon as they spoke, they realized that someone was standing in front of them.
This sudden discovery shocked them, but they soon discovered that the person standing was an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
On closer look, it was a celebrity.
“Jiang Lan of the Ninth Summit? A toad that is out of Ao Longyu’s league?”
The two of them locked onto Jiang Lan.
“Two late-stage Essence Souls. Are they being pursued? And it’s not just one person?”
Seeing these two people, Jiang Lan had a guess.
However, these two people were wearing Kunlun clothes. Were they spies or traitors?
Or did they come in under the pretense of being someone else?
Then who were chasing them?
He had seen many spies, and they were all killed by him.
“Hmph, we’re in luck today. This person is very important to Kunlun. Capture him as a hostage.” As he spoke, a man headed towards Jiang Lan. He didn’t release all his late-stage Essence Soul strength.
A mere early-stage Essence Soul cultivator was nothing to them.
“You should be blamed for being weak and famous.”
The man approached, not giving Jiang Lan any time to react.
Capturing this person was equivalent to capturing the hope of survival.
The other person didn’t look at his companion who was grabbing Jiang Lan. Instead, he looked around vigilantly.
He was afraid that someone would catch up to him.
Huang Jie paid no attention to the battle behind him.
There was nothing interesting about an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator fighting a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
It would be over in the blink of an eye.
“Are you done? I feel like they’re getting closer.” Huang Jie didn’t hear any sounds and hence decided to ask his companion.
They had no time to waste.
“Done.” Jiang Lan’s voice sounded from behind him.
Calm and cold.
This unfamiliar voice made Huang Jie, who was vigilant of his surroundings, feel his scalp tingle.
He immediately looked behind him.
At this moment, he saw Jiang Lan standing not far away, as well as his companion who only had half a body.
Blood mist could be seen falling to the ground.
There was fear in his eyes.
But he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
“How did this happen?”
It was impossible for an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator to kill a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
And he hadn’t heard any loud noises.
His companion had been killed very silently.
“He was weak and had underestimated his enemy, so he died.” Jiang Lan looked down at the corpse, then raised his head to look at Huang Jie and said coldly.
“Now it’s your turn.”
“Acting all mysterious. You just have a good Dharma treasure.
As a political pawn of Kunlun, it’s only right that you have some powerful Dharma treasures on you.
But do you think you’re the only one who has it? ”
Huang Jie suppressed all the fear and uneasiness in his heart. He immediately used his Dharma treasure to attack Jiang Lan.
He only had one choice.
He would capture him and use him as a hostage to escape Kunlun.
His attack was very fast, and his strength was fully mobilized.
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t take down an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
Even if he had to die in the end, he had to make Kunlun regret it.
In just a few breaths’ time, he had already arrived in front of Jiang Lan. The other party didn’t show any signs of defense.
He felt like he was about to succeed.
However, just when he thought that everything was under control…
A fist appeared.
The fist landed directly on his Dharma treasure, causing it to shatter into pieces. Then, the fist landed on his arm, which instantly shattered into a bloody mist.
Huang Jie was in disbelief.
Then, he felt the punch land on his body.
Boom!!
A crisp sound rang out.
Huang Jie then saw himself turn into a bloody mist.
His consciousness began to dissipate.
“How… how is this possible?”
He finally understood how his companion died, and he also understood that the other party did not use any Dharma treasures at all.
But he did not understand why this person was so strong.
He could actually kill a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator with a single punch.
Bang!
Huang Jie’s remaining body collapsed weakly to the ground.
The blood mist dispersed in the air.
When Jiang Lan saw all of this, he activated his One Leaf Vision before disappearing on the spot.
“I have to change my route.”
There were definitely many people in this forest, so he had to be careful.
Jiang Lan changed to walking on a main road this time and walked normally. It was a little far from the Ninth Summit, but no one would dare to make a move on the main road.
Around there.
It was hard to say if there were experts above the Essence Soul Realm in the forest.
If there were some powerful immortals inside engaging in a fight, it would be a bit dangerous for him. However, on the main road, he didn’t have to worry about them.
Even though the road to the Ninth Summit was rather deserted, the outline of the road was still there.
However, not long after, he realized that these people were too daring. They actually dared to fight on the main road.
