Chapter 259: Sheng Ye and Ji Chenyuan were helpless!
Imperial Palace.
After hearing the report from the commander of the guards, Sheng Ye’s eyes widened.
“What did you say? Ji Xingyun was almost beaten to death by Li Ran!”
“That’s right.”
Commander of the guards nodded and said, “The deacons of Yin Corpse Dao were completely annihilated. Ji Xingyun was lucky enough to escape with the help of the Corpse Calming Technique.”
Sheng Ye was speechless.
Before, he was still worried that Li Ran would cause trouble. In the end, just as he entered Central City, he beaten the chief of the Yin Corpses into a serious injury.
“This guy must have come back to cause trouble!”
Sheng Ye rubbed the space between his brows. “Ji Xingyun’s brain is broken? You want to provoke this evil genius?”
Commander shook his head and said, “According to my investigation, not only did Ji Xingyun not provoke him, he was even very polite.”
Sheng Ye frowned. “Then why did Li Ran attack him?”
“It’s said that it’s because of the beast tide.”
“Beast Tide?”
Sheng Ye reacted and shook his head with a bitter smile. “This kid really holds a grudge!”
Although the beast tide incident was very bad, Yu Ye and the ancient corpses had been annihilated. It was impossible to confirm that it was related to Yin Corpse Dao.
Moreover, this was Yu Ye’s personal behavior, and Yin Corpse Dao was indeed unknown.
Originally, this matter had completely changed after a secret conversation between him and Ji Chenyuan.
In the end, Ji Xingyun bumped into Li Ran.
Sheng Ye pondered for a while and instructed, “Go inform Yin Corpse Dao. We cannot handle their grudges against Li Ran, but they cannot attack Central City. Otherwise, they will be enemies of the Sheng Clan!”
“Yes.” The commander retreated.
Sheng Ye leaned against the dragon chair with a complicated and helpless expression.
“Li Ran, you really don’t let me worry about you… I hope you can be more honest at the Immortal Ascension Assembly.” Suddenly, he sensed something and suddenly raised his head, his thick eyebrows locked tightly. “Why is she here?”
One could only see ripples appear in the air in front of them. A slender jade foot stepped through the air and stepped on the main hall.
“Protect the Emperor!”
A shout was heard in the corner of the main hall, and several shadows rushed over like lightning!
Sheng Ye said indifferently, “Stop, it’s my old friend.”
Shadow paused in the air before returning to the corner and hiding.
One could only see a woman dressed in coarse clothes standing in the main hall.
Her figure was graceful, and her face was handsome. There was a valiant air between her eyes, but her cheeks were slightly tipsy and bright red.
Just like that, a pair of jade feet stepped on the ground. It was white and cute as if it was carved out of jade, not stained with a trace of dust.
Woman shook her head. “Old friend? Do I know you very well?”
Sheng Ye’s brows twitched, “Chu Lingchuan, this is the Sheng Clan’s Imperial Palace, not your Myriad Sword Pavillion’s backyard. Next time, wait for me to invite you in advance…”
“Alright.” Chu Lingchuan impatiently dug her ears, “What a noise! Who asked your Imperial City’s grand formation to be so weak?”
Sheng Ye gritted his teeth in anger.
You couldn’t gauge your own strength. What kind of array was able to defend against an Emperor-level mighty figure?
He forcefully suppressed his anger. “Why did you come to the palace?”
Chu Lingchuan raised her head and drank, “I’m here for a meeting.”
Sheng Ye was taken aback. “What meeting?”
Chu Lingchuan’s eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot. “Of course, it’s the Immortal Ascension Assembly.”
Sheng Ye’s brows furrowed even deeper. “A mere Immortal Ascension Assembly is worth your sword head personally coming? And I remember that Yue Jianli led the team, right?”
Chu Lingchuan shook her head. “This time, I have to personally check it out. I have to find a good seedling!”
Sheng Ye was puzzled. “Yue Jianli is the best sword in the world. Her talent is almost on par with Lin Langyue. What are you not satisfied with?”
Chu Lingchuan sighed. “Lin Langyue is nothing. You have to compete with the strongest.”
“You mean Li Ran?”
Sheng Ye shook his head and smiled. “That’s genius that we haven’t seen in ten thousand years. It’s almost impossible to find someone with a talent that surpasses him.”
Although he did not like Li Ran, he had to admit that this guy’s talent was indeed the only one he had seen in his life.
Chu Lingchuan helplessly said, “I know this too, but the quality is not enough, so I can only use the quantity to collect it… Anyway, I don’t like Leng Wuyan’s arrogant appearance!”
Sheng Ye said helplessly, “What do you want?”
Chu Lingchuan stretched. “Arrange a private room for me first. When the Immortal Ascension Assembly comes, I will personally check it out!”
“A private room?” Sheng Ye’s brows twitched wildly.
Did you think this was a restaurant?
However, he understood the other party’s personality. There was no point in being angry with her. If he provoked her, she would kill him as well…
“Just Li Ran alone is enough to make this one worried. Now, a crazy woman has appeared?” Sheng Ye’s head swelled.
…….
In the far west, Yinhuai Mountain…
Mountain was not tall. It was shrouded in thick fog all year round.
Mist was not a warm mist but a light grey color, filled with a rotten smell.
There were no weeds on the mountain, only withered locust trees.
These trees were all bare. If one cut them in the middle, one could see that they were empty inside, all without a wooden heart.
A locust tree without wood was a ghost.
The dark air on the mountain was frightening.
In the depths of the fog, a huge mountain gate was hidden.
In the Devil Dao, Yin Corpse Dao…
At this moment, in the middle of the sleeping quarters, Ji Xingyun was lying on the bed with a pale face. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was unconscious.
Ji Chenyuan’s face darkened. “Is Xingyun’s injury caused by Li Ran’s?”
Deacon lowered his head and said, “I’m sure. Dozens of cultivators witnessed it with their own eyes. Li Ran injured the chief.”
“That’s not right.”
Ji Chenyuan shook his head and said, “Although Xingyun has suffered many injuries, his soul is the most severely injured. Moreover, it contains the intention of extermination… It seems to be thunder?”
“How could an early-stage distracted person have such an ability?”
Deacon said, “But it’s said that Li Ran instantly killed Yu Rui. He must be good at attacking souls.”
“Yes…” Ji Chenyuan pondered for a moment.
At this moment, a haggard-looking man beside the bed said hatefully, “No matter if it’s him or not, as long as we catch him and train into a Corpse Puppet, we’ll know everything! If you dare to harm my son’s foundation, I will definitely make him pay with his life!”
His eyes were blood-red, and his expression was sinister. His voice sounded as if it was coming from between his teeth.
Ji Chenyuan frowned even deeper.
“Don’t be impulsive. No matter what, you have to wait for the Immortal Ascension Assembly to end. Send Xingyun to the corpse ground to heal.”
Man gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
Ji Chenyuan sighed in his heart as he looked at the malevolent man.
No matter which sect they were from, no matter how their disciples were beaten to death, neither the Elder nor the Sect Master would easily attack them.
This was because as long as he intervened, his personal grudges would rise to the level of the sect.
Just like when Lin Langyue’s Dao Heart had been injured, and Yi Qinglan had issued a killing order in anger, Youlou Temple immediately declared war on the Tianshu Institute.
If it weren’t for Yi Qinglan withdrawing the decree, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ji Chenyuan didn’t care if he was an ordinary disciple, but he was his nephew who was injured.
“It’s okay for Xingyun to provoke anyone, but to provoke Li Ran…”
