C3669 A Scholarly Middle-aged Man
The true form of the beggar, the refined middle-aged man, he was currently transmitting a message from a distance... No one knew how he had done it, but it seemed as if there were no fluctuations of magical energy at all. However, no one could see the screen of light, and no one could hear a single sound.
If Jiang Ting was here, and if he could see the screen of light... he would definitely realize that the person in the screen of light was his cheap master, Daoist Fresh Breeze!
The scholarly middle-aged man was still talking to Daoist Fresh Breeze.
A long time later.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That kid is quite smart... Indeed, among us, we don't believe in coincidence. Back then, when the Devil Ridge was about to be burned to ashes, a Demonic Beast just happened to enter the realm. The commander was the fiend race, so there must be some relation within this. "
Half a year's time was endless.
It turned out that not long ago, Jiang Ting had sent a message to Daoist Qing Feng. He had told Daoist Qing Feng that Devil Ridge had been breached by the six sects. However, at the critical moment, the Demonic Beast had come ashore, causing the Black Feather Pavilion to... In order to stop the Demonic Beast, the Autumn Water Pavilion and the Demon Refining Pavilion immediately retreated.
The Sacred Sun Clan had suddenly collaborated with the devilish cultivators, causing the Devil Ridge that was about to be breached to once again stubbornly remain.
Jiang Ting suspected that the devils who led the Demonic Beast ashore might have some sort of connection with the devilish cultivators... Otherwise, why would the Demonic Beast not come ashore earlier or later, instead coming ashore just as the Devil Ridge was about to be breached?
He told this guess to Daoist Fresh Breeze... while Daoist Fresh Breeze passed this news to this middle-aged man.
"What do you think?" Daoist Fresh Breeze also smiled at the middle-aged man's smile.
The middle-aged man's face became mystical.
After a long time, he shook his head. "If Jiang Ting said those words when he withdrew from Demon Ridge, it might be a reward. But now... Ah, when the sea monsters surrounded Stone City, the six sects have already guessed whether the Demon Ridge is related to the Demonic Beast coming ashore. Isn't that so?"
No one was a fool... It had been many years since the Devil Ridge had been besieged. The six sects of Tian Lan had already guessed it. Even the six sects had sent spies to investigate. However, they had not come to a definite conclusion for the time being.
The phantom image of Taoist Qing Feng revealed a headache and rubbed his temples tiredly. However, he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh. "Tell him that what you said was false, and that it's true that you're testing him... Since I'm in Demon Suppression City, his safety is no longer a concern."
Taoist Qing Feng's message was not meant to tell him... His message was actually just a primer. The real reason was that he wanted to test the middle-aged man's attitude.
The middle-aged man's identity wasn't simple either.
He was a member of the Purple Frost Sect... Perhaps not many people in the Purple Frost Sect knew the middle-aged man, but he was indeed a member of the Purple Frost Sect. He was an expert who had been away for many years, and now, because of the matter of the Demon Race, he had specially come to the Demon City.
"What will happen to you?" Daoist Qingfeng's head no longer hurt, and he was no longer tired.
"I told you before that he didn't go against the rules of the Purple Frost Sect. He is a member of the Purple Frost Sect."
After he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly. "He is the only one the demons want to kill the most. Only he can lure the demons out of the Demonic Beast's camp. If not for that, the bait would not have been him."
"Then I am relieved... He had sent a message not long ago. Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon. " Daoist Qing Feng's expression relaxed.
The middle-aged man was just about to speak when his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked towards the horizon... A stream of light came from the northeast, descending about thirty miles away from the Demon Suppression City.
Not long later, he retracted his gaze. "He's here... What's the progress of the Wind Listening Hall's clues regarding the Heaven Prodigy Roll?"
He wasn't asking about the existence of the Heaven Prodigy Roll. He was asking about who had created the Heaven Prodigy Roll back then... Something as flashy as the Heaven Prodigy Roll shouldn't exist to the six sects of the Tian Lan Continent.
However, now that it had appeared, it was inconvenient for the six sects of the Endless Sky to ban it.... Even if they did, it would only circulate in secret. Therefore, the six sects had no choice but to seize control of the Heaven Chosen Ranking.
The six sects of the Endless Sky were sometimes very generous, and sometimes, they would seek revenge for the smallest grievance!
The person who had created the Prodigy Roll was no different from angering the six sects. Although many years had passed, spies from the six sects were still investigating the matter, trying to find out who had led the Prodigy Roll all those years ago.
However, they had not been able to find too many clues.
A few years ago, a spy from the Surveillance Hall had accidentally found some clues.
Daoist Fresh Breeze thought for a while and shook his head.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed... there was no progress and he could just deny it.
After hesitating for a while, he shook his head. What was the meaning of this? No progress? No progress?
Question?
No... Although the middle-aged man's cultivation was much stronger than Qing Feng's, he didn't need to deal with the trivial matters of the Purple Frost Sect. Since Qing Feng didn't say anything, there was a reason why he didn't say anything.
If he needed to do something, he would do it. If not... he would be happy to be free and at ease.
"No matter what, he is also a member of the Purple Frost Sect. I will go and take a look at his temperament." As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man waved his hand and cut off the message.
The screen of light dispersed.
The middle-aged man's figure also disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the beggar, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes and looked not far away. On the other side, Jiang Ting had already appeared at the entrance of City Lord's Mansion.
He was preparing to enter.
Half a breath later.
The beggar's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable surprise. He saw Jiang Ting, who was standing at the door, suddenly turn his head and look at him at lightning speed.
Obviously, Jiang Ting had noticed his gaze.
Another half a breath later.
Jiang Ting said something to the two guards at the entrance of City Lord's Mansion. Then, with a light tap of his feet, with a leap, he jumped onto the street and stood half a zhang away from the beggar.
The beggar's eyes flashed and he unhappily muttered, "I've never seen a beggar before..."
On the other side.
Jiang Ting frowned slightly. A foul smell assailed his nostrils.
He was sure that this beggar, who had a cultivation base, had not taken a bath or washed his clothes for at least twenty years! If not, there would not be such a strong stench.
When he was at the entrance of City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly felt as if something was on his back, as if someone was sizing him up. Without hesitation, he turned his head and saw the beggar.
The words he and the guards just said were actually to ask the beggar. The guard told him that the beggar had not been here for long. He had been staying in the Demon City ever since he had arrived, and had never left the city. He had even fought with the Demonic Beast.
And now...
After observing for a while, Jiang Ting took half a step back. "Greetings, senior. This junior has just arrived and offended senior because of my ignorance. Please forgive me, senior."
The beggar was startled.
After a long time, he revealed an interested expression. "How did you see that?"
Jiang Ting's cultivation base was at the peak of the Earth Realm... and his Heavenly Realm cultivation base was only at the fourth level.
Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.
Golden Core, Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms. Even if the early stage of the Human Realm encountered someone at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, they would still be considered the same.
Jiang Ting, who was at the peak of the Earth Realm, was qualified enough for him to call him senior. In Tian Lan, only the Nascent Soul Formation was possible.2
