He saw Ao Man and the youth looking at him.
Jiang Lan didn’t understand what Ao Man was asking.
Was he asking him if the youngster needed to fight for his own love, or if he and Xiao Yu were a match made in heaven?
“Getting stronger is always right.”
Jiang Lan’s voice slowly sounded.
The young man nodded heavily. His first goal, for now, should be to surpass his grandfather.
“Big Brother, should I lay my hands on Hongya tonight?” the young man asked Jiang Lan.
“I don’t think so.” Jiang Lan paused for a moment before continuing.
“And you may not be her match.”
The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race wasn’t weak. The youth was extremely special, but his realm didn’t seem high.
The young man left dejectedly. The conversation always ended with him being the weak party.
It seemed like the most urgent matter at hand was to advance his cultivation.
Then, he would discuss the details with Big Brother.
Jiang Lan was invited into the room by the Eighth Prince.
Just as he entered, he heard a thud.
The Eighth Prince knelt again.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll kowtow to you first.”
The Eighth Prince knelt before Jiang Lan and kowtowed.
“…”
Did innate immortals have no dignity? Why was the other party always kowtowing?
“Xiao… Senior Sister Ao is in closed-door cultivation, so she’s temporarily unable to visit you.” Jiang Lan spoke in a light voice.
The Eighth Prince expressed his understanding.
When the Eighth Prince stood up, Jiang Lan’s voice was filled with curiosity.
“You’ve been hunted for decades?”
“Yes.” Speaking of this, the Eighth Prince looked bitter.
“I don’t know why the demons are so crazy to want to kill us. It was as if they would fight with us to their death. If we hadn’t used a unique treasure, we wouldn’t have been able to escape.
Later on, after we thought that we had escaped, we were caught up for no reason. I even used a secret treasure, but I kept being discovered for no reason. I had clearly blocked the heavenly secrets.
Later on, I realized that the demons were too crazy. They actually blocked all of our exit routes. They chased us down without holding back. In the end, even several Heaven Immortals were sent to chase after us.
I was seriously injured. Uncle Ao Ye carried me from the Northern Wastelands to the Western Wastelands and ran for decades. The people in the race should have made their move. Otherwise, it would be impossible for only Heaven Immortals to keep chasing us.
Perhaps only those people knew our location. More than a year ago, I finally made it through the life-and-death trial and became a True Immortal. My injuries healed instantly. At that time, we were close to Kunlun. The Heaven Immortals didn’t dare to be too impudent and started to give up on us.
After confirming that there were no Heaven Immortals, Uncle Ao Ye collapsed. Then I took Uncle Ao Ye and started running. In the end, if not for brother-in-law…”
Ao Man did not say anything after that. In short, it was all thanks to his brother-in-law.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly. So it turned out that the foreign forces did not dare to approach Kunlun because they had many Heaven Immortals.
However, shouldn’t they have taken a gamble?
Or did they have to give up?
Jiang Lan naturally didn’t know, and neither did the Eighth Prince.
Unless he asked the person involved.
However, the higher one’s realm was, the less likely they would dare to approach Kunlun. This was certain.
“You took something important from the demons?” Jiang Lan asked.
If there was no reason to do so, the Demon Race would naturally not expend so much effort to kill Ao Man.
Being an innate immortal wasn’t enough for them to chase after him like this.
Being an innate immortal wasn’t that great.
There had to be other reasons.
“No.” Ao Man swore.
“We didn’t move at all. We heard a name and were discovered. Then, there was an endless pursuit. However, Uncle Ao Ye said that he didn’t hear it.”
“What name is it?” Jiang Lan felt that this name was perhaps the main point.
“I just feel that it’s a strange name.” The Eighth Prince thought and said.
“Yes, the name’s Imperial Lord Qiong Gou. This name is quite long and it had an aura to it. I felt touched at that time.”
Hearing this name, Jiang Lan fell silent.
Imperial Lord Xi He of the Ancient Imperial West Palace and Imperial Lord Qiong Gou of the Ancient Imperial North Palace.
Naturally, he did not believe that the two had nothing to do with each other.
In addition, he saw the Ancient Imperial Palace and even obtained a fortuitous opportunity.
Perhaps the warfare throughout the great wastelands was related to this name.
And the Eighth Prince…
He should have shared a wisp of someone else’s fortune or the demons were afraid of him spreading the name.
That was why the demons were pursuing him.
Jiang Lan had a feeling when he saw the fortuitous opportunity that was like green smoke.
If he could kill the Eighth Prince with a single punch, this thing could very well land on him.
“…”
In other words, once someone found out that he had received a fortuitous opportunity too, then…
Many people would want to kill him.
In the future, it was best not to leave the Ninth Summit.
“It’s best if you don’t say this name,” Jiang Lan reminded.
“Ah?” Ao Man looked at Jiang Lan curiously.
“Does brother-in-law know what the name means?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Lan shook his head.
“However, I heard that this person would definitely notice if you read out his name. If he is close enough, he can even see you directly and appear around you. Whether it’s real or fake is unknown. ”
It was hard to tell if it was true or not. Jiang Lan didn’t dare to try.
What if Imperial Lord Xi He really appeared beside him?
So…
It was always better to be cautious.
This Imperial Lord Qiong Gou was a demon.
It would be dangerous to say the name anywhere near the territory of the demons.
“I… I will be discovered?” Ao Man was momentarily stunned.
The moment he ran out with Ao Ye, he mentioned this name…
Ao Ye had even asked him to repeat the name again later.
It was no wonder that no matter how they escaped, they would always be discovered.
It turned out that they could not mention this name.
As soon as they said it, they would be easily discovered.
Oh no.
He had just said it again.
“There shouldn’t be much of a problem since we are under the foot of Kunlun Mountain.” Jiang Lan looked at Ao Man and said.
Looking at Ao Man’s expression, he knew that Ao Man was conflicted over saying the name again.
Jiang Lan was sure that there would be no problems because of Imperial Lord Xi He.
Kunlun was where Imperial Lord Xi He was.
It was difficult for the other party to hear their conversation.
But for safety reasons, it was better not to mention it.
Jiang Lan naturally warned Ao Man.
“Brother-in-law, can I write it?” Ao Man tried asking.
“If you’re curious, you can try.” Jiang Lan couldn’t answer this question.
He knew very little about this.
And there was a good chance he was already deep in this matter.
He saw the Ancient Imperial Palace and he also saw other scenes.
He had even heard ravings.
Naturally, no one knew what would happen next.
He could only rely on fortuitous opportunities to become stronger, and then resist the subsequent problems.
“I wouldn’t dare,” Eighth Prince said directly.
He dared not provoke the other party.
“Brother-in-law, do you think it’s safe here or in Kunlun?” Ao Man looked at Jiang Lan and asked.
“Which summit do you want to go to?” Jiang Lan asked.
“Is the Ninth Summit crowded?” Ao Man asked.
“It’s quite spacious.” Jiang Lan explained.
“The Ninth Summit contains Netherworld Aura. If you stay on it for too long, you will have to bear the risk of being invaded by your inner demons.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be a problem for True Immortals to stay for a period of time. However, if one is either seriously injured or mentally unstable, it’s easier for one to breed inner demons. ”
“Haha.” Ao Man laughed and said seriously.
“I think going to the Ninth Summit might affect your dates with my sister.. I’d better stay at the inn.”
