The next day, Jiang Chen lay on the bed, his black eyes staring at the ceiling with as face full of helplessness.
At this moment, in this originally not-so-spacious room, there were three lunatics and a large White Tiger curled up besides him and Xiao Hongyi.
The three lunatics and the tiger were squatting beside him, staring straight at him.
He placed his hand on Xiao Hongyi.
Seeing this, Jiang Lianyue hurriedly helped him return to his original position, saying, “Eldest Senior Brother, the master must not be disturbed.”
He turned his head towards Xiao Hongyi.
Qingning stepped forward and twisted his head back: “Eldest Senior Brother, Qingning thinks this position is too tiring for you.”
“Nonsense!”
Lin Mubai scolded angrily, “You two lunatics, how dare you stop Eldest Senior Brother? As Second Senior Brother, I command you to leave immediately! I will stay with Eldest Senior Brother!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai asked.“Qingning, can I eat him?”
“Eat him if he keeps shouting,” Qingning nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai’s eyes widened, staring straight at Lin Mubai.
Those expectant tiger eyes seemed to say, “Go on, why aren’t you speaking?”
Lin Mubai was speechless.
He had not yet received Jiang Chen’s forgiveness and still wanted to kill Lin Feng. He couldn’t become food for a beast!
The room fell silent once again.
“Sigh.”
With a helpless shake of his head, Jiang Chen said, “After hundreds of years, Old Ancestor is giving a sermon today. Aren’t you going to listen?”
“I’m not going,” Qingning shook her head, her smile still innocent.
“Listening to a sermon is not as good as staying by Eldest Senior Brother’s side.”
“Qingning, you can’t always cling to Eldest Senior Brother,” Jiang Lianyue said seriously.
“You need to learn to grow up. I have important matters to discuss with Eldest Senior Brother, so you should leave first.”
“Hey, Fifth Junior Sister, do you not understand your own status?”
Qingning’s little face was serious: “I am the Third Senior Sister! Don’t think you can disrespect your seniors just because you’re a lunatic!”
“Who are you calling a lunatic?” Jiang Lianyue’s eyebrows furrowed.
Jiang Lianyue immediately sneered, “Look at you. It’s not just the master who’s a lunatic, the pet is too!”
“Qingning, she insulted me! Can I eat her?” Xiaobai was enraged.
“Eat her, it’s approved,” Qingning nodded.
Seeing Xiaobai about to transform and a fierce fight about to break out, Lin Mubai quickly stepped in between them and shouted, “Do you still have any respect for me as your Second Senior Brother? If you disturb Eldest Senior Brother, I won’t care if you’re lunatics or not! I’ll chop you down without hesitation!”
“Qingning, he spoke again!” Xiaobai was thrilled.
“Then eat them both,” Qingning replied.
“Want to eat me?”
Lin Mubai’s expression darkened, and two machetes appeared in his hands: “Let’s see if I don’t chop you up first today!”
Jiang Chen’s head ached from the noise.
“Sit down, all of you! If you keep making a fuss, I’ll throw you all out!” Seeing that these lunatics were really about to fight, he lowered his voice and scolded.
At his words, the three lunatics and the tiger immediately sat up straight, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Jiang Chen realized.
These lunatics together were a complete madhouse! He must avoid this in the future! But for now, he had to drive Jiang Lianyue and Qingning away first.
Otherwise, not only would they disturb his master, but he would also be extremely irritated.
As for why he wanted to keep Lin Mubai, it was naturally because Lin Mubai would not interfere with his actions.
“Lianyue, you have the potential of an empress, and Old Ancestor’s sermon would greatly benefit you,” Jiang Chen said gently, with a look of “concern.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, are you trying to send me away?”
Jiang Lianyue’s eyes filled with tears, and she said pitifully, “Please, as long as you don’t send me away, I’ll do anything.”
“Uh…” Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Jiang Lianyue’s heart leaped with joy.
Miserably crying was something she learned from Lin Mubai, and looking pitiful was something she picked up from Qingning.
The effect was indeed good!
“Qingning…” Jiang Chen spoke again.
“Eldest Senior Brother, please don’t send Qingning away, okay?”
Qingning’s big eyes welled up as she approached Jiang Chen, “As long as you don’t send me away, Qingning will do anything…”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Qingning’s first half of the sentence was still normal, but the second half, wasn’t that Jiang Lianyue’s catchphrase?
Can madmen influence each other?
Helplessly, he could only look towards Lin Mubai,
“Eldest Senior Brother, there’s no need to say more, I understand!” Lin Mubai raised his hand to interrupt.
“Oh? You understand?” Jiang Chen was surprised.
“Absolutely!”
Lin Mubai smiled confidently, his eyebrows dancing with assurance: “As long as Eldest Senior Brother wishes, I can outdo both of them!”
“…Get out! Right now! Immediately!”
……
Jiuyan Sect, Second Peak.
After the bell tolled loudly, the people of Jiuyan Sect gathered together.
In just one day, at the summit of Second Peak, a Daoist altar had been erected, shrouded in fragrant mist, dreamlike and illusory.
In front of the altar, twelve Supreme Elders sat cross-legged in the air, with each Peak Master standing upright before the many disciples.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan had not yet appeared.
Above them, Supreme Great Elder Xiao Ting was somewhat distracted, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He had learned from the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan that Jiang Chen had given the Phoenix Essence Blood to Xiao Hongyi.
Although it couldn’t cure the madness, it could transform Xiao Hongyi into a true Phoenix body, no longer susceptible to the backlash of Phoenix blood.
Xiao Ting knew very well how precious the Phoenix Essence Blood was.
He had not expected the Jiang Family to possess such a treasure, and even less so that Jiang Chen would be willing to use it on Xiao Hongyi.
‘That young man still has some humanity,’ Xiao Ting murmured to himself.
Even so, Xiao Hongyi’s madness remained a problem.
He wanted to make another trip to the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss to snatch a few Nine Abyss Soul Embryos, but unfortunately, with his injuries not yet healed, he could only wait for now.
Lost in thought, the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan arrived floating.
Everyone stood up at once, bowed respectfully, and shouted in unison: “We welcome the Old Ancestor!”
After the greetings, the crowd was somewhat surprised.
Because the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan did not come alone, but with Li Fadu and Sect Master Gu Changqing!
‘Wasn’t the Sect Master’s cultivation sealed by the Old Ancestor and locked in the dungeon?’ everyone wondered in their hearts.
The Old Ancestor of Jiuyan had no intention of explaining.
After stroking his beard and smiling faintly, he too sat cross-legged in the air.
In an instant, his gaunt body radiated dazzling Daoist light.
The light quickly enveloped the entire Jiuyan Sect and continued to expand outward.
At the same time, a hundred-zhang-tall phantom appeared behind the Jiuyan Old Ancestor, bearing an uncanny resemblance to him.
Anyone enveloped by the Daoist light and who saw this phantom, whether they were cultivators or beasts, felt the urge to bow down in worship.
Although the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan’s eyes were slightly closed and he remained silent, his ancient and vicissitudes-filled voice automatically emerged in the minds of everyone present.
“Today, I will speak of only one Dao, which is the Heavenly Dao.”
“The Heavenly Dao blesses the good and curses the wicked, brings calamity to land. Its way is mysterious and distant, and even spirits and gods are oblivious to it.”
“Heaven gives birth to all things, this is good.”
“To give birth to all things yet set rules for them, each with a destiny, confined within heaven and earth, this is evil!”
“Destiny cannot be changed, rules cannot be broken, to change is to be reprimanded, to break is to be destroyed, this is unfair!”
“The Heavenly Dao is hypocritical, the Heavenly Dao is maliciously clever, the Heavenly Dao is unfair, the Heavenly Dao has three evils!”
As the last words fell.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Thunderclaps in a clear sky, nine purple lightning bolts descended from the heavens, striking the head of the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan.
The Old Ancestor of Jiuyan withstood the lightning with his body, his lifespan further reduced, yet his expression remained as calm as an ancient well.
He continued,
“I have probed through the good and evil of the Heavenly Dao, have seen through the truth of the world, and this truth is…”
“Our Jiuyan Sect has been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao!”
