Chapter 1534 The Untamed 14
As soon as the group left Nanyue, they received news that the Wen family had sent "invitations" to hundreds of immortal families, "inviting" the younger generation of heirs to come to the Wen family to "study".
Lan Zhan frowned slightly. He had experienced this twice when he was in the Wen family. Both times, Muxi Mountain fell. The most important thing in Muxi Mountain was the Slaughtering Black Tortoise, which had the last and most important piece of Yin Iron hidden in its belly.
If you want to collect all the Yin Iron, the unknown Yin Iron fragment in the belly of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise in Muxi Mountain is the most important. You must know that after the hundreds of immortal sects joined forces to suppress Xue Chonghai, the motto left behind about Yin Iron was: Yin Iron is spiritual and can suppress all directions.
There are also two most important sentences: The energy from all directions all returns to Xuanwu.
This Xuanwu refers to the Slaughtering Xuanwu of Muxi Mountain.
But the most important thing is that the Cloud Recesses has probably been burned down by Wen Xu and his men!
Lan Zhan secretly clenched the sword in his hand and was in no mood to go to Yunmeng. He didn't even know how to tell Lan Qiren and the other elders about the disaster at Yunshen Buzhichu.
Wei Ying, on the other hand, directly stepped forward and said to Jiang Cheng, "Ah Cheng, you go back to Lotus Pier. I still have my family's business card with me. I will go to Nevernight City to check out the situation."
The other Jiang Clan elders also advised: "Yes, Young Sect Master, right now the Wen Clan is summoning the direct descendants of hundreds of immortal families to attend the school. This may be a sign that they want to take action against the hundreds of immortal families. You must not rashly go to Nevernight to take risks!"
Lan Qiren and other Lan clan elders were also very worried about the situation of the Lan clan, but Lan Qiren thought about it and decided to let Lan Zhan stay and not return to the Cloud Recesses. He went to the Lotus Pier as usual: "Wangji, the Cloud Recesses don't know what's going on right now, but the situation is getting worse. You should go to the Lotus Pier first. If something really happens in the Cloud Recesses, you can ask the Jiang clan for help in time."
Everyone in the Jiang Clan heard what Lan Qiren said. As the young patriarch, Jiang Cheng nodded to accept Lan Zhan at this time, which meant that he tacitly agreed to protect Lan Zhan's safety and to lend a helping hand if anything big really happened in the Cloud Recesses.
The elders of the Lan family left in a hurry. Jiang Cheng grabbed Wei Ying and said, "Don't worry. We will have time to go back to Lotus Pier to understand the situation. The more serious the situation is, the more we cannot make a decision easily. We should take a long-term view."
Jiang Cheng insisted, and Wei Ying had no way to oppose him, so the group quickly returned to Lotus Pier. Jiang Fengmian was not surprised that Lan Zhan followed Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying, but the news from Cloud Recesses was very bad. As a soft-hearted elder, Jiang Fengmian found it difficult to tell Lan Zhan the truth.
Yu Ziyuan had no scruples. All the children in her family were strong-willed. Lan Zhan could play with Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying. She had a hunch that this seemingly well-behaved and polite young man must be a rebel, so she said bluntly, "There's news from the Cloud Recesses that Wen Xu and his men burned down the Cloud Recesses. But since many of the disciples went out hunting at night before, perhaps the loss to the Lan family was not as great as imagined."
"Second Master Lan, I can barely be considered an elder. Since your uncle has entrusted you to our Lotus Pier, I suggest that you stay out of the spotlight and wait for news from the Wen Clan or your uncle."
What worries Yu Ziyuan the most right now is the Wen family's request for Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying to attend classes.
In response to this, Wei Ying slammed the table and said angrily: "The Wen Clan has such a big face!"
Jiang Cheng also said, "Father and mother, we will definitely not go to the Wen family's study tour. No one in the Lotus Pier will go. For the sake of face, please ask father to write a letter to Wen Ruohan and tell him that the younger generation of the Lotus Pier have gone out hunting at night and cannot be contacted for the time being. I am afraid that we will not be able to make it to the study tour."
Jiang Fengmian was still a little hesitant. Even though the Jiang family would never compromise with the Wen family, he couldn't be the first to stand up and oppose the Wen family. The best way was to try his best to delay time.
Although Yu Ziyuan felt that Jiang Fengmian's idea was very aggrieved, it was not shameful to do it for more benefits.
Lan Zhan wanted to take his leave and go back to take charge of the affairs of the city. Even though, as far as he could remember, the Cloud Recesses had been burned down twice, both times he had managed to escape danger. However, he was still worried about the safety of Lan Huan and the other elders.
Lan Zhan insisted on leaving, and Jiang Fengmian had no reason to force him to stay, but he couldn't let Lan Zhan leave Lotus Pier alone. After all, things had already got off to a good start, and if the relationship between the two families was not continuously improved in the future, then this start would be in vain.
At this time, Wei Ying stepped forward and suggested, "Why don't you, Acheng, take your men to escort Second Young Master Lan for a while? Going east to Gusu, it would be a good opportunity for you to personally investigate the current situation of the various small families within the Jiang family's sphere of influence."
Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan looked at each other, thought about it, and agreed to Wei Ying's proposal.
Wei Ying didn't mean to let Jiang Cheng go out and take risks, but he was thinking that if the Wen family couldn't drag it on any longer, he would go to the Nevernight City as a hostage in place of Jiang Cheng.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to object, Jiang Fengmian said, "Ah Cheng, your mission is not only to escort Second Young Master Lan, nor to investigate the situation in our Yunmeng territory. You must also be prepared to raise the banner of attacking the Wen Clan at any time."
At this point, Jiang Cheng had nothing to object to, so he could only remain silent and quietly go out with Lan Zhan towards Gusu.
Yunmeng is densely covered with water networks and there are many lakes of all sizes, so it is very easy to hide your whereabouts. Just like the elders went out quietly and came back quietly with Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, this time Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan went out again and failed to be noticed by anyone.
After leaving Yunmeng, Jiang Cheng asked Lan Zhan directly: "Where to go next, do you have any ideas?"
Lan Zhan said without hesitation in the direction of Qinghe: "Let's not go to Gusu, let's go directly to the direction of Qinghe!"
Jiang Cheng did not ask Lan Zhan the reason. He could feel that although Lan Zhan was a little different, his temperament had not changed much. He was still Lan Zhan Lan Wangji, the second son of the Lan family, and that was enough.
Once they left Yunmeng, they at least couldn't walk around wearing expensive clothes and holding swords, so Lan Zhan carried the Wangji Qin on his back, pretending to be a musician obsessed with music, while Jiang Cheng held a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be a scholar traveling with Lan Zhan.
Removing any suggestive patterns on their bodies, Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan wore scholar robes and square scarves on their heads, and actually deceived the Wen family's minions, and approached the Qinghe Nie family's territory very smoothly.
The Nie family of Qinghe was closer to the Wen family of Qishan, so the first to suffer was the Nie family of Qinghe, followed by the Lan family of Gusu, and then the Jiang family of Yunmeng. However, the Jin family of Lanling became the only big winner who retained its strength because of Jin Guangshan's ability to flatter and curry favor with everyone.
