Chapter 1538 The Untamed 18
Jiang Cheng was not so easily fooled by Wei Ying. “I still say the same thing. Has no one tried to use resentment, ghost energy or hostility to practice in the past? Isn’t it that those cultivation methods damage the foundation and even the mind, and eventually make people become unrecognizable, or even become unforgivable, so everyone avoids resentment!”
Wei Ying smiled weakly and continued to speak his truth: "But I have accepted my destiny. I am destined to become the founder of the magic way, the ancestor of the ghost way, to open the gate to the ghost world and lead the ghosts."
Jiang Cheng turned his head away, not looking at Wei Ying who continued to pretend to be pitiful by pretending to be weak, and snorted coldly, "It sounds like a great achievement, but does it count for the pain you went through?"
Wei Ying's nose felt sore and two more tears fell.
Yes, there is still Jiang Cheng in this world who cares whether he is in pain or tired.
In the end, Jiang Cheng was unable to force Wei Ying to open his Dantian to him to take the Yin Tie Sword and the Yin Tie fragments. However, seeing that Wei Ying was able to successfully recall the sword, he felt a lot more relieved and could fly back to Lotus Pier with Wei Ying in peace.
Because Wei Ying "escaped from prison" and the Jiang clan responded promptly to the attacks by the Lan and Nie clans, the Wen clan went directly downstream and tried to repeat the burning of the Unclean World and the Cloud Recesses, and also burned down the Lotus Pier.
However, Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu had underestimated the current situation of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, and chose the wrong way to fight. They actually chose a naval battle. Hundreds of large and small wooden boats sailed downstream in a mighty manner, which looked very powerful. In fact, Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan had only followed Jiang Yanli's strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory. They only sacrificed about twenty boats and trapped the more than a hundred large and small wooden boats of the Wen Clan in a bay.
Qishan is located in the north. Even if the Wen clan could easily gather hundreds of large ships, they are not good at naval battles. This time, the Wen clan came out in a mighty force, but unexpectedly walked into a desperate situation. Wen Chao was a fool. He watched the large and small ships fighting each other, and he was hysterical and yelling and setting fires. Yu Ziyuan simply released a batch of oil.
In this battle, no one from Lotus Pier was killed, only a few disciples were accidentally burned by the fire. The Wen family's fleet could not even get close to Lotus Pier, so it can be said that they won a great victory.
However, the Jiang family cannot say that they did not suffer any losses. After all, the Lotus Pier was able to win against Wen Chao's army without any suspense, but the other small families in Yunmeng did not have such strength and luck. The Yao and Ouyang families in Yunping City successively sent people to the Lotus Pier for help. Jiang Fengmian personally led his men straight to Yunping City, but he only had time to rescue a few children of the Ouyang family who escaped from the city.
Unfortunately, only Patriarch Yao was left of the Yao clan, and almost all of their property was lost. Countless civilians in the city were killed or injured. However, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying discovered traces of Jin clan's activities in Yunping City.
The news of the Lotus Pier defense battle soon spread throughout the world. The eldest daughter Jiang Yanli, who was always rumored to have a poor appearance and poor cultivation, became the most beautiful girl in the crowd. The hundreds of immortal families did not even care about the huge threat of the Wen family, and began to send people to try to form a marriage with the Jiang family.
In response to this, Jiang Cheng said righteously: "My eldest daughter of the Jiang family is a dignified Jindan cultivator. Whether the marriage is successful or not, she is still a direct descendant of the Jiang family!"
After seeing the capabilities of the younger generations, Jiang Fengmian simply discussed with his wife Yu Ziyuan and decided that he and the elders of the clan would guard the Lotus Pier together, while the important task of conquering the Wen clan would be left to the three younger generations, Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying and Jiang Yanli.
Jiang Cheng simply took over the liaison and logistics preparation work in the bureau, and handed over other battlefield matters to Wei Ying and Jiang Yanli. Wei Ying had no opinion on this, but Jiang Yanli herself was a little hesitant, "Ah Cheng, you are the young master of my Jiang family. Judging from what my parents have said, you will take over soon. Why don't you take this opportunity to make great contributions?"
Jiang Cheng said bluntly: "Sister, my cultivation is already invincible among my peers, and the Jiang family has not suffered any losses this time. We can't be more conspicuous now. As the young master, I have to keep a low profile for a while, which is also a contribution to the Jiang family."
Wei Ying didn't expect Jiang Cheng to have thought of so much. Then he remembered the traces of Jin's activities in Yunping City. Thinking of Jin's still wavering attitude, he felt that Jiang Cheng's behavior was understandable.
Jiang Yanli hadn't thought about it that much before, but now that Jiang Cheng had pointed it out, she understood it and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to let my disciples have some good training. After all, after this, who knows how many years it will take before the grand scene of the hundreds of immortal sects uniting together can appear again."
After hearing that Jiang Cheng had taken on the job of contacting all parties and coordinating logistics, Lan Zhan withdrew from the front line and went directly to work under Jiang Cheng.
Of course Jiang Cheng would like to have an extra helper, but when he thought about Lan Zhan's thoughts about him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't feel any disgusted, after all, as a weirdo who didn't have much concept of gender in his heart, he only admitted that he could be a woman most of the time. Most of the time, when he looked at people and things other than himself, he actually only looked at beauty and personality.
No matter what, for Lan Zhan, being able to work alone with Jiang Cheng was really just an opportunity to develop feelings.
It must be said that Lan Zhan is indeed smart. Even though he is still a man of few words, it does not prevent him from making connections with everyone, and he is as capable as the manipulator Meng Yao.
The cultivators from all walks of life cannot always stay on the front line to kill the enemy. The deceased must be buried and liberated in a timely manner, their relatives need pensions, and the injured must be sent back to the rear for treatment in time. After they have recovered from their injuries, they will be assigned tasks again. Among the hundreds of immortal families, it is not only the Yunmeng Jiang family that wants to train their disciples and guest officials. Who doesn't want to gain something if there is still some power left?
Even Jin Guangshan sent his only son, Jin Zixuan, to participate in the battle and gain experience. However, Jin Zixuan had improved a lot after the broken engagement, and at least some of his bad habits had been corrected. However, the other disciples of the Jin family were not good-tempered people. If it weren't for the fact that they were also contributing to the crusade against the Wen family, Jiang Cheng would have simply kicked such a bad apple out of the team.
Especially Jin Zixuan, who actually condoned his subordinates to engage in jealousy. Jiang Cheng, who was dragged over to make the decision, was completely upset. After listening to the general situation, he could only point fingers at the troublemaker Jin Zixuan, asking him to properly handle the relationship with the female cultivators, and scolded Jin Zixuan a few words.
When Jiang Cheng returned to his residence, Lan Zhan came over to help him share the affairs. He realized that the relationship between him and Lan Zhan had become closer imperceptibly. He was a little bit unconvinced and could only complain about Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun to divert his inner embarrassment: "Jin Zixuan really lives up to his nickname of Golden Peacock. He just came down from the front line and a female cultivator came up to him to show his courtesy."
"Jin Zixuan is just a troublemaker. Does he think that the rumor that there were female cultivators vying for Jin Zixuan during the war is a good reputation? I even suspect that the boy is Jin Guangshan's illegitimate son, and he is just having an outburst to try to destroy Jin Zixuan's reputation."
Lan Zhan didn't think Jiang Cheng was hiding his discomfort, he just thought that this represented that Jiang Cheng was close to him. After all, Jiang Cheng had always been unscrupulous in talking about other people's gossip in front of him.
