Ancient Sinner
Chapter 334 A Sinner for All Time
Qingdai was not surprised by her mistress's answer.
Because of that person, far too many people in the Ji family died.
Even now, it cannot erase what happened back then.
If it weren't for Miss's strength, it's hard to say how many members of the Ji family would have survived.
Even she is in extreme danger.
While she was thinking, Himeko had already opened the new envelope.
Jiang Man wrote again so quickly; there must be something else going on.
Sure enough, Ji Meng was stunned after reading the contents of the envelope.
"What did the young master say?" Qingdai asked curiously.
She had just leaned over when the letter was delivered to her.
"Can I see it?" Qingdai asked tentatively, though she had already started to turn it on.
Ji Meng nodded: "See?"
Then Qingdai carefully examined it.
However, she was a little puzzled as to what it was. If it was something between them, the young lady wouldn't have shown it to her.
It must be something important.
But soon, she saw the array and the box.
"This is..." Qingdai frowned and said, "The Ji family's formation?"
She examined it carefully and said, "An array left behind by the old patriarch?"
"It should be." Ji Meng nodded.
Qingdai sighed, "What did the old clan chief leave behind? The young master and young lady are truly a match made in heaven. They can encounter things related to the young lady wherever they go."
Ji Meng turned to Qing Dai and said, "Why have you been talking like this lately?"
"No," Qingdai said guiltily, "I just said it as I felt."
Recently, she has been saying things she wouldn't normally say in order to make it clear to her young mistress that she and her husband are a couple.
Otherwise, if the young lady were to commit murder one day, she might not even remember her husband.
It's good to make a good impression.
At this moment, Ji Meng began to reply to the letter.
"How will Miss reply? Will she tell the young master how to break the formation?" Qingdai asked curiously.
“Telling him won’t break the formation, but we can use a little trick to let him see what’s inside the box, though he can’t take it with him,” Ji Meng said.
As she wrote, she fell into deep thought: "When was this formation set up? And why was it set up?"
Qingdai could only answer, "It should have been buried more than three hundred years ago."
Ji Meng turned to look at Qing Dai, paused for a moment, and continued writing.
More than three hundred years ago, wasn't that during his lifetime?
"What has the Bai family patriarch been doing lately?" Ji Meng asked.
"He hasn't done anything, he's either eating or attending classes." Qingdai frowned. "When does Miss think he'll make a move?"
“He has limited time, so he’s bound to do something crazy,” Ji Meng said casually.
Qingdai also thought so, and his most insane act should be to kill the young lady.
At the very least, they must both perish.
As a result, they could no longer go out.
They traded decades for hundreds of years of theirs.
"Did you ask about Young Master Ji's assessment?" Ji Meng suddenly asked.
“I asked, and the date can’t be changed,” Qingdai replied.
-
The date cannot be changed?
Jiang Man, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, looked at the envelope with a sense of helplessness.
He felt that there wasn't enough time.
The assessment is in July, but it's only May now.
There are only about two months left.
He would have to spend some time at Qingcheng Sect, and Lingyue Sect would also need some time.
It will take time to get back.
It's unlikely that there will be enough time.
Jiang Man felt rather helpless, but didn't think much of it.
As for the loss of 100,000, he wouldn't lose anything if he just didn't think about it.
Jiang Man then began to investigate how to bypass the formation and touch the box.
We need to utilize the Mountain and Sea Formation.
Fortunately, he learned it quite well, so it wasn't difficult for him to use it.
Soon, he entered the interior through a gap in the formation. Inside the formation, Jiang Man did not sense any spiritual energy.
Indeed, the power of the formation could not be sensed.
He never expected that the formation had such a place.
As Jiang Man approached the box, he felt some resistance, but Ji Meng had mentioned it in the envelope.
Therefore, they can be resolved one by one.
Finally, he stood in front of the box.
The moment he reached out to touch it, the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books were activated.
He needs to check if there's anything wrong with the box first, and he can also guess what's inside from the box's identification information.
If the box is insignificant, then what's inside is insignificant too.
If we were to bring it up in detail, then we should be careful.
Soon the book stopped at the last page.
Not worth mentioning.
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but was also somewhat disappointed.
It's not a good thing.
He hasn't improved his talent in a long time.
The cultivation of techniques at the Nascent Soul stage is relatively fast, but it's unknown how long it will take to progress further.
Jiang Man thought to himself, but he was also wary of the box.
He circulated his power and began to open the box.
Even with the slightest carelessness, they can act immediately.
The box is opened.
There were no obstacles.
The years have not caused the box to show any signs of wear and tear.
Inside was a white bead and a letter.
The letter contained the words, "To the person destined to be connected with the Ji family."
Jiang Man pondered for a moment, wondering if he was one of the destined ones.
He then picked up the envelope, opened it, and read the contents.
The handwriting is steady, and the content is very straightforward.
"I have never achieved anything great in my life. Although I have a talent for swordsmanship and even have the opportunity to acquire the sword surname, I am trapped by the word 'love' and cannot escape it."
"I'm afraid we're about to make a colossal mistake."
"The Celestial Court's order is corrupt, and the clash of ideologies will bring about a great disaster."
"That person must climb to the very top; everything points to one thing."
"A great battle is about to break out!"
"If I soften my heart and am not ruthless enough, I will become a sinner of the Ji family for all eternity."
"I hope you can activate the bead. If the bead glows, it means she is still alive."
"Help me find her and ask her if she has ever regretted it. If she has not regretted it and has brought disaster to the land, please deliver the bead to the woman surnamed Meng from the Ji family."
Jiang Man carefully examined the envelope after reading it, then frowned.
No pay?
Then who will do things for you?
Jiang Man tried, but found that he couldn't take the things with him.
I touched the beads while I was at it.
Not worth mentioning.
Jiang Man then shook his head and left the formation.
As soon as he came out, he wrote the contents of the envelope and then had the Rainbow Bird deliver it to Miss Himemu.
They're already sinners for all time, and they still won't give them spiritual resources.
Freebies from peerless geniuses?
That afternoon, Jiang Man received a reply saying that the bead came from the Celestial Court of yesteryear and was the core item among the 108 constellations.
Carrying the beads can help one concentrate and calm the mind, thus accelerating the pace of cultivation.
Although it won't have much effect on the new law, it could easily fetch a million if sold to a sect.
If you discover a new, usable bead, you can get one for free.
Jiang Man was disappointed with the Tianjian Hundred Books.
They have no sense of propriety.
Such a good thing, and they didn't even mention it.
However, Jiang Man didn't care. Since it was said to be given to a woman surnamed Meng, it must be Meng Qiewei.
You can just give it to them yourself.
This will save the beads from decades of detours.
It seems that this senior surnamed Jian also agrees.
After all, he didn't refuse.
After that, Jiang Man stopped thinking about it.
He's too busy cultivating to care about such trivial matters.
Asking if they regret it is pointless.
It would be better to continue improving one's cultivation.
After that, Jiang Man began to improve his cultivation.
He is currently in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the late stage of the Physical Body realm. He has opened all the gourds in the late stage, but none of them are full.
Once you've accumulated enough, your strength will experience another leap forward.
At that time, he will truly be a formidable opponent among those with primordial spirits.
Then, upon reaching perfection, one becomes utterly invincible.
With the Nine Stars series fully mastered and combined with powerful magic, along with Mr. Ji's mastery of power, he would be invincible.
Unless it's someone who descended from a higher realm, like Ji Meng or the patriarch of the Bai family.
But he possesses the magic of an evil god, which the Bai family patriarch can kill.
He will then go and meet with the Bai family patriarch to complete the task of listening to the wind.
After so long, not a single task has been completed. The only progress we've made is in saving Zhao Tiankuo.
I protected him twice.
Five days later.
The fat man came over and said that the initial handover was complete, and that they would begin to establish the Cloud Front Division, and then have all eligible people join the Cloud Front Division.
Ten days later, the Yunqian Division was initially established.
However, it wasn't newly built; rather, it was a converted, huge mansion.
Creating a new system is too slow; let them learn first.
The Qingcheng Sect was eager to complete its sect regulations.
In fifteen days, the handover was completed, and the Yunqian Division had already begun operations.
Each village was assigned someone to guide the cultivation practice.
People from the sect also arrived and began comprehensive training.
They also selected some people to go to the Misty Cloud Sect for further study before returning.
That day, Jiang Man and the others departed on their swords.
We must proceed to the last sect, the Lingyue Sect.
The fat man and the others saw Jiang Man off with a heavy heart.
To this day, they still don't understand what level of genius Jiang Man is.
Only the elders who have gone to the Misty Cloud Sect for further study might be able to understand it.
-
Early June.
Jiang Man and the others arrived at Lingyue Sect without incident.
From the outside, nothing looks different.
"It seems there haven't been any major changes. I wonder if the people inside have changed," Zhuo Qingcheng said.
If the people inside haven't changed, then this place will be easy to take over.
After all, the strongest person here is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Previously it was one person, now it's at most two.
"Shouldn't we investigate this secretly?" Han Meixue said.
“No need. We’ve already been to so many places, word has already leaked out,” Jiang Man said. “Besides, if someone is involved here, there’s no point in investigating. Let’s just go into the sect and see what their attitude is.”
After that, they sent a visiting card.
Not long after, the young sect leader who had been severely injured by Jiang Man reappeared.
He looked at Jiang Man and the others with some surprise.
But there was also some joy.
"An envoy?" The young sect leader stared at Jiang Man, extremely excited: "Senior, please come in quickly."
If others don't know Jiang Man, how could he not know him?
Especially when that extraordinary expert arrived later, he was also present.
His respect for Jiang Man was unparalleled.
Although he was severely injured, this incident gave him more face in the sect.
Not everyone is qualified to be defeated by someone like that.
Though defeated, he was still glorious.
"You should know that we're coming," Jiang Man asked on the way.
"We understand. Our Lingyue Sect has been waiting and has no objections," the young sect leader replied immediately.
He paused for a moment, then said with some distress, "But it's not enough for us to agree. Recently, someone came to our sect and seems to want our sect too."
"I almost resorted to force. If I hadn't mentioned that the envoy was a benefactor of the Lingyue Sect, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded."
"We never expected that he would actually be our benefactor."
The young sect leader looked at Jiang Man, and a hint of fanaticism began to appear in his eyes.
Jiang Man is powerful, but he doesn't have that much bloodlust.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have a close relationship.
And it just so happens that it was him who came this time.
What does this mean?
Their Lingyue Sect is destined for greatness; they are destined to soar to the heavens.
"Do you know who it is?" Jiang Man asked.
"It should be another powerful sect nearby." The young sect leader wasn't entirely sure either.
Other sects on the outskirts?
Jiang Man was unaware of the existence of powerful sects outside.
"The sect map shows that there is indeed a sect behind the Southern Mountains, and its strength is not weak, but it is extremely difficult to get over. In theory, there should be no trouble," Zhuo Qingcheng said.
The other party's appearance was indeed somewhat illogical.
But that's not the most important thing. Once you understand the core issue, whether other things make sense or not doesn't matter.
"What is their cultivation level?" Jiang Man asked.
“Our sect leader said that he might be in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or even the perfect Nascent Soul realm,” the young sect leader said cautiously.
Jiang Man nodded: "How many of them came?"
“Seven,” the young sect leader said.
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; there were quite a few people.
But the impact is not significant.
main hall.
The sect leader and the Grand Elder are both here.
They were somewhat worried, and as for the people from the Misty Cloud Sect, they dared not go down rashly.
Because there is a formation here.
Any action taken could be detected by those in the shadows.
It will inevitably lead to a great disaster.
Soon, the young sect leader entered the main hall, his face beaming with joy as he said, "Sect leader, elder, look who's here!"
Jiang Manfang walked in at that moment.
Both of them were taken aback when they saw Jiang Man.
Then came joy.
They were aware of Jiang Man's special nature.
While their exact strength is uncertain, being able to associate with such a formidable expert suggests they are not weak.
"Your Excellency, something has happened here. A powerful enemy is eyeing us covetously," the sect leader immediately said.
Jiang Man didn't pay attention to these things, but asked instead, "They're not here?"
"Yes, they are hiding in the shadows, saying they could appear at any moment," the sect leader quickly explained.
Jiang Man nodded.
He immediately took out the array furnace.
The area was sealed off instantly.
"What is this?" The sect leader and the others asked, puzzled.
"Don't worry about that." Jiang Man calmly looked at the two of them and said, "Do you know why I'm here this time?"
The sect leader and the others nodded.
They already knew, and had been eagerly anticipating their arrival.
In this way, Lingyue Sect would not be considered a wild ancient sect.
Rather, it is an ancient sect under the great rule of the Immortal Sect.
It is a subordinate sect of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Jiang Man nodded: "And what are your opinions?"
"We have no objections," the sect leader immediately agreed, but then added with some concern, "But what about the powerful figures in the shadows?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Man directly took out the contract: "Sign it."
The sect leader and the grand elder were both taken aback.
They signed it already?
Shouldn't we deal with those powerful figures first?
Jiang Mancai had no time to deal with those powerful figures; he needed to complete the mission first.
As for what the powerful figure wants to do next, let the others from the Misty Cloud Sect handle that.
After all, this is also a mission.
Since this is within the territory of the Misty Cloud Sect, we cannot allow them to act recklessly.
Two different things.
You'll be paid when you complete the task.
We can't just say it's unreasonable, can we?
It doesn't even qualify as self-production and self-sales.
The sect leader had some doubts, feeling that something was wrong with the rules.
But Jiang Man told him to sign, so he signed without saying a word.
