Chapter 340
Ji Meng: You came here and want to take away the gift I gave you?
Chapter 340 Ji Meng: You want to take away the gifts you gave me as soon as you come back?
Jiang Man and others were also quite curious about He Que's records.
The other party has been unconscious for so long, and there must be a gap in the records before and after.
Normally, no one would pay attention to this gap.
But throughout the journey, He Que displayed a meticulous attitude, recording every single detail.
This made everyone curious about how he handled the blank space.
What would an accurate record look like?
How can we record things truthfully?
Jiang Man then asked about this.
The other party's response was also normal.
He said he recorded the facts truthfully without any bias.
So how exactly was it recorded?
Finally, Han Meixue pleaded and begged, pulling on He Que's sleeve and shaking it for a while, until she finally got the other party's notebook.
That's what it says above.
July 1st.
Panic gripped the shelter, and many hoped that Jiang Man, as the person in charge, could do something. But he said he needed to cultivate.
July 2nd.
The atmosphere was oppressive, and many people were finding it hard to bear. Jiang Man, as the person in charge of expanding enrollment and the manager of the shelter, turned a blind eye and continued his cultivation.
Today he even wants to knock everyone unconscious.
I questioned him about whether he was being inhumane.
Mid to late July.
The atmosphere was no longer oppressive. The mountains were shattered, and the Lingyue Sect was reduced to ruins, beginning its reconstruction. Jiang Man, as the person in charge of expanding recruitment, was still cultivating.
Probably that's it.
Han Meixue flipped through it and found large blank sections in the middle, without a single word.
"What about the middle part?" Jiang Man asked curiously, "Aren't you going to explain it?"
“An explanation might mean it wouldn’t be recorded in detail,” Zhuo Qingcheng said after a moment’s thought. “After all, recording everything requires being factual. He doesn’t even know how he fainted.”
Jiang Man nodded. So that's why he wasn't writing anything.
It was indeed a matter of fact, and everything was recorded.
Although He Que could guess who knocked him unconscious, he had no evidence.
Things that lack evidence should not be recorded.
Jiang Man then told them to continue their work, as he needed to cultivate.
He Que didn't speak, but silently opened the notebook and wrote a new line.
Jiang Man didn't care about any of that.
After everyone left, Jiang Man used the array furnace to set up a hidden method.
Then, by invoking the magic of the evil god, coordinates were left behind.
However, we need to cancel the coordinates on Mu Kong's side first.
Mu Kong's current strength is limited; he can only leave behind two coordinates, and he can only use the one from the courtyard for now.
Therefore, if he wants to use this coordinate system, he also needs to discard the coordinate system of his own courtyard.
The losses were huge.
The restrictions are also very significant, so Mu Kong needs to work harder.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Man disappeared into the shadows and headed towards the outer perimeter.
The evil god's formation still remains there, and it continues to extend.
Those array patterns, like living things, slowly and steadily spread towards the borders of the Immortal Sect's Great Order, all in order to cause destruction in a certain area.
This kind of damage requires constant monitoring and maintenance, making it an extremely costly and potentially dangerous undertaking.
If no way to restrain it is found, then we really have to cut back a bit or two to maintain the cost of this guarding.
Ren Qian was standing on a mountain peak with his men at that moment.
The mountain wind howled, fluttering their robes.
Amidst the ruins beneath their feet, pale golden array patterns spread out like a spider web, extending into the distance at a visible speed.
"It's very troublesome. I wonder if the sect has any solutions." A fairy beside her frowned as she watched the ever-spreading formation.
Ren Qian shook his head: "We have already asked the Immortal Sect for help. I don't know if the Immortal Sect has a solution. What we need to do now is to record the formation here and then clear it away."
“If it’s cleared away, it will just spread again. Won’t her power be depleted?” the fairy asked.
Ren Qian shook his head; he naturally couldn't understand what this power was all about.
Why do formations seem to extend and appear endlessly?
No matter how they destroy it, it will reappear afterward.
"Why don't we let our junior brother, who produces and sells his own products, give it a try? His method is quite similar to this," the fairy said.
Ren Qian was silent for a moment before saying, "If he had a way, he would have come long ago. The credit for this is the Spirit Source. Do you think he wouldn't want it?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent; it was indeed the case.
After that, they continued to record the formation, intending to destroy it once the record was complete.
“I’ll do it this time,” Ren Qian said, taking a deep breath. “I’ll try a different approach, which might be more effective in suppressing it.”
All they can do right now is try to suppress the regeneration rate; complete destruction is impossible.
Only people from the Immortal Sect can try.
Just as Ren Qian was circulating his spiritual power and preparing to make a move, he suddenly felt a beam of light shining down on him from behind.
The light was soft yet undeniable, like a small sun rising behind us.
In an instant, they all turned around and looked behind them.
His aura surged forth, ready to strike at any moment.
"who?"
Ren Qian unleashed his power and prepared to attack.
At that moment, they saw a figure standing behind them.
The person emanated a soft light, not dazzling, yet impossible to ignore.
The light enveloped his face, obscuring his features and revealing only a slender silhouette.
"Who are you?" Ren Qian asked in a low voice.
Their appearance was so sudden that they didn't even notice it.
His strength was impossible to assess, but his intuition told him that it was not advisable to act rashly.
The opponent could have easily launched a sneak attack, but they didn't.
The reason for not taking action is either that there are other motives or that there is no conflict of interest.
Jiang Man, who appeared at this moment, was also startled.
If all these people attack at once, he might not be able to stop them.
They are indeed very strong.
But it's all temporary.
In a few years, it will be the other way around.
In fact, he didn't want to alarm the Zhenyue Division.
But he had investigated and found that the best location for the arrangement was here.
Judging from their demeanor, they wouldn't let him get close easily.
Seeing their wary looks, Jiang Man did not answer their question.
Instead, a token appeared out of thin air.
The moment the token appeared, Ren Qian and the others' pupils contracted.
A Zhenyue Commander's plaque made entirely of jade?
They can tell whether something is real or fake using the token.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's expression changed. They simultaneously withdrew their auras of power, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Senior!"
Have people from the immortal sects arrived?
They were all a little curious, but dared not ask too many questions.
Jiang Man walked on air, heading towards the formation.
He still didn't speak.
Talking too much will damage his image as an important person.
Finally, he entered the formation.
Ren Qian and the others had no choice but to follow.
After all, this important figure didn't say they couldn't follow, and as the heads of this small area, they had no choice but to go.
However, as they entered, they became more cautious.
Take action immediately if there is any unusual activity.
Of course, we also need to observe the actions of this important figure.
It would be bad if you acted recklessly and disrupted the other party's plans.
"Senior brother, what do you think he's going to do?" the fairy asked Ren Qian telepathically.
They saw this important figure walk in without making any other moves.
Ren Qian told them not to talk nonsense and to observe first.
Jiang Man kindly reminded these people, "Something unusual will happen here. If you're going to follow, you should be prepared."
The others immediately replied respectfully, "Please rest assured, senior, we will certainly not hold you back."
Jiang Man then fell silent.
He reached a suitable spot, landed, and casually picked up a branch.
They started drawing something on the ground.
These formations must be drawn on top of the opponent's formation, so the key points of the opponent's formation must be found first.
This actually tests one's skill in formations.
Fortunately, Jiang Man was able to manage it, albeit with difficulty.
Anything more advanced wouldn't work.
Ren Qian and the others stood not far away, simply watching quietly.
But the more I looked, the more confused I became.
The lines seemed to have been drawn randomly, one stroke here and one stroke there, without any discernible pattern.
It doesn't resemble any profound method at all; it's more like a child scribbling on the ground.
But this important figure probably wouldn't draw this kind of thing for fun.
"Senior brother, what do you think his purpose is this time? Is it to understand the formation, or to mark the formation?" the fairy asked again via telepathy.
Ren Qian shook his head and transmitted his voice, "I can't be sure either, but I feel that the other party didn't just create it randomly."
Jiang Man was now completely focused on inscribing the array. As he did so, he discovered that this small array was meant to correspond to the evil god's array.
The formation, which was originally incomprehensible, began to show cracks. Gradually, the clues were found, and it became possible to understand it.
But that's still not enough.
Furthermore, Jiang Man dared not waste any time, as the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be.
All I can do is try my best to remember these things and then go back and try to understand them.
Because his mind was completely focused on drawing the array, he wasn't sure how much he could remember. To those behind him, however, each stroke of the great man's calligraphy appeared extremely casual, lacking any connection.
Much later.
Ren Qian and his companions saw the important man discard the withered branch he was holding.
The branch fell to the ground with a soft "thud".
He then stood up and formed a mudra with his hands.
Those lines that they thought were drawn randomly suddenly began to shine.
At first, it was just a faint fluorescence, like the tail light of a firefly.
But in the blink of an eye, the light intensified dramatically, and all the lines connected together, forming a complete array pattern.
Immediately afterwards, this formation, as if it were alive, rapidly merged with the evil god's formation and then covered it.
The coverage was extremely fast. Just as Ren Qian and the others were still marveling at it, a sudden roar erupted.
The once vast and powerful evil god formation began to collapse, like a tall building.
The pale golden patterns shattered one after another, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.
In particular, this collapse, like the flow of blood, rapidly spread to the surrounding area along the veins of the formation.
One after another, the evil god formations collapsed.
Ren Qian and the others watched this scene in astonishment.
This method is indeed much more convenient than theirs.
I wonder how long it can last before it disappears.
The next moment, they saw the evil god's formation begin to recombine, with new patterns emerging from the void, attempting to rebuild itself.
So fast? Ren Qian and the others were surprised again.
Soon, the formation left by the important figure re-emerged within the newly constructed formation of the opponent, and the light screen swept over like a tide.
The newly constructed formation collapsed once again.
Moreover, this change began to spread rapidly.
Every time the evil god's formation attempts to rebuild, the tiny formation precisely locates its core node and dismantles it.
Within a few breaths, the formation that they could not shake actually receded like the tide.
No matter how the other party rebuilds it, the small piece of formation left behind by the great figure is like a bone-eating worm, impossible to get rid of or eliminate.
It is rooted in the foundation of the evil god's formation, and it devours each time the opponent rebuilds.
At this moment, Ren Qian and the others were horrified to discover that the great man's casual strokes had actually solved a problem that they could not solve no matter what.
When they came to their senses, they found that the important person had already turned and left.
"The suppression time of this formation is limited, so you can't be too careless." Jiang Man stepped into the air and left without looking back.
"Senior!" Ren Qian immediately asked respectfully, "Could you please leave your name, senior?"
"Drunkenly drifting through life."
By the time the sound reached them, Jiang Man had already disappeared into the horizon.
A life of fleeting pleasures?
Ren Qian and the others immediately remembered the matter of Black Spirit Abyss.
It seems that wherever there is a powerful evil god, this important figure will appear.
I wonder if this important person has any other missions in mind when passing through here.
He didn't think that Zui Fusheng had come specifically for this purpose, otherwise he would have arrived long ago.
There's no need to wait until then.
-
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to his residence.
Fortunately, Ren Qian and his team didn't call in any higher-ups, otherwise he really would have used the coordinates to come back.
The higher-ups are too powerful; if the evil god's methods were to leave, it would be easy for them to find traces of it.
Everything that needed to be done has been done.
The problems here will gradually be resolved over time.
They can also complete their mission and return.
Sure enough, the formation was broken three days later.
Five days later, the surrounding evil god formations continued to crumble, no matter how far they extended.
The evil god remained silent; it was unknown what she was thinking.
However, the sect's side was imposing and powerful.
The suppression of evil gods excites them.
Ten days later.
Early August.
The people from the Immortal Sect finally arrived.
They were also extremely surprised by this situation.
However, they did not deny that the people were sent by the immortal sect.
The name "Zui Fusheng" was unfamiliar to them, but they did know it.
Afterwards, the immortal sects took over the entire operation, clearing away the surrounding formations and simultaneously searching for the location of the evil god.
Thorough cleaning.
All the hidden traces of minor evil spirits were eradicated.
When a great evil god offends, even a lesser evil god suffers.
After that, they went directly to a place on the Sun and Moon Immortal Path.
The same cleaning and arrests.
After cleaning up the surrounding area, they continued outwards, making sure to conceal all the aura of evil gods wherever they went.
Otherwise, it's elimination.
Along the way, they discovered some altars and formations.
It seems there's going to be a big move.
Especially those on the Sun and Moon Immortal Path.
Even more evil gods, similar to the Three Rivers Evil God, were directly captured.
When he was captured, he kept cursing the evil god of the formation.
She interrupted all our grand plans.
The people from the immortal sect ignored them and continued cleaning.
They were never free to begin with, so now that they had some free time, they naturally had to do a cleanup.
"I know some of that evil god's gathering places, I'm reporting her." Upon learning this news, the evil god of the Three Rivers in the prison cell also cursed and then reported her.
The rest is up to the people of the immortal sects to clean up.
In an instant, all the evil god's subordinates within the territory of the Misty Cloud Sect received the message.
I told you to behave yourself lately and not to stand out.
Then I need to find a way to report the evil god of the formation.
The more reports are made, the more trouble the immortal sects will cause for the other party, leaving them no time to bother with them.
Mid-August.
Jiang Man completed his mission and left Lingyue Sect.
end of August.
Jiang Man returned to the Misty Cloud Sect.
The power struggles at the top are none of their business, so as long as they complete the recruitment expansion task, they can return.
The evil god's mission has no effect on them.
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief as he entered the gates of the Misty Cloud Sect.
came back.
Safe.
He kept changing locations along the way, afraid of being ambushed.
Fortunately, we returned safely following the method and route given by Mr. Ji.
After that, Jiang Man bid farewell to Zhuo Qingcheng and the others and headed to Ji Meng's residence.
It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Hime.
Jiang Man heard the sound of a silver bell as soon as he knocked on the door.
Sure enough, the moment the door opened, Ji Meng's smiling face appeared.
"Young Master Jiang just returned?"
Jiang Man nodded.
"You're coming back to exchange the gifts you gave me for spiritual resources? The price has gone up now."
-
Fallen Cloud City.
Luo Jian walked down the street with a sigh.
He finished his training at the sect, so he had time to return to this place he had been away from for so long.
This place has changed dramatically; there are many more people here now.
He knew that they were also expanding their enrollment here.
Similarly, he knew that the person in charge of expanding recruitment here was no ordinary person.
It is said that he has an unclear and ambiguous relationship with the person in charge of expanding the Lingyue Sect.
The other party has already returned, but if there are any problems with the expansion of enrollment, it would be tantamount to offending them.
He also didn't want to offend the other party.
Then he arrived at the gate of the Luo family.
The two characters "Luo Mansion" on the lintel are still upright, and although the vermilion gate has faded somewhat, it is not dilapidated.
The stone lions in front of the gate were wiped clean, and there were no weeds growing on the steps.
There was no defeat, nor was there a sense of lifelessness.
This surprised him somewhat.
The family was much better than he had expected.
He had thought that the Luo family would have fallen into ruin by the time he left.
"I wonder how they managed to get through it," Luo Jian murmured with a sigh.
He then walked toward the gate.
Upon seeing someone approach, the two young disciples on guard immediately straightened their backs and politely bowed, saying, "Senior, this place is not open to the public."
They didn't recognize the middle-aged man in front of them. But the man's aura was calm and profound, indicating that his cultivation level was not low.
"I'm looking for your family head," Luo Jian said calmly.
If nothing unexpected happens, the head of the family should still be his eldest brother, Luo Huaili.
