Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1558 The Untamed 38

The next morning, Jiang Cheng, with dark circles under his eyes, suggested going out to rest. "...We can't keep going like this. The consequences of exhaustion in this mass grave are very serious. At the very least, resentment will enter your body, and at worst, your foundation will be damaged. It's even possible that you'll be trapped by the ghostly energy here."

Lan Zhan immediately agreed: "We should also change the direction of investigation."

Even though Wei Ying had slept all night, he was still sleep deprived due to constant nightmares, so he could only agree, and the three of them urgently retreated to the periphery.

But what no one expected was that although the journey in was smooth, it became very difficult to leave.

There was no telling how many lonely and resentful ghosts were buried in this mass grave. Perhaps the three of them had leaked their vitality at some point, and the lonely and resentful ghosts who had not yet completely lost their minds had noticed the movement, and they rushed over one after another, stirring up the resentment and hostility in the mass grave.

Wei Ying, who was easily influenced, was hounded by resentment, hostility and evil spirits because of the Yin Iron. He didn't know what went wrong. The isolation talismans that Jiang Cheng drew with his own blood were of little use. So when he cut his finger for the third time to draw the talisman again, Wei Ying grabbed the back of his hand.

Wei Ying secretly adjusted his already somewhat disordered breathing and directly rejected Jiang Cheng's spell: "Ah Cheng, getting injured in this mass grave is not a good thing. We still need your help to get us out."

Lan Zhan also took the time to advise: "A Cheng, blood and energy will only arouse the ferocity of these evil spirits. Moreover, the loss of blood and energy will directly affect physical strength. If you are not careful, it will be dangerous."

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to give up his previous idea, stop and use his spiritual power to heal the shallow wound on his fingertips to prove his innocence.

In this mass grave, swordsmanship is actually the most useless skill. Instead, the whips in Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying's hands that are specifically used to whip spiritual consciousness are more useful.

The three of them fought back to back, their physical strength declining rapidly, and their spiritual energy depleting rapidly. Especially in this mass grave, there was no chance to replenish spiritual energy. Wei Ying gritted his teeth and suggested, "Now it seems that I am the one who is holding them back."

"Acheng, give your Qingshuang to Lan Zhan, and I'll give you my Bailu. I'll try using the White Jade Flute to see if I can control these evil spirits!"

Qingshuang and Bailu are both whips made based on the top-grade immortal artifact Zidian that Madam Jiang Yu Ziyuan brought as a dowry. Although they are half as powerful as Zidian, their ability to focus on spiritual consciousness is very useful in this mass grave.

But after all, Qingshuang and Bailu both own first-grade immortal artifacts. If someone else were here, there would probably be no chance to exchange them.

Jiang Cheng handed the Qingshuang in his hand to Lan Zhan without hesitation, and took the Bailu handed over by Wei Ying. Together with Lan Zhan, they protected Wei Ying in the middle.

Wei Ying took out the white jade flute that had been purified last night and played the sound of clearing the heart.

The Qingxinyin played by the white jade flute is indeed useful, but not that easy to use. However, it did relieve a lot of pressure on Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan took advantage of the gap between this wave of attacks to teach Wei Ying "Xihua", a song he had recently written, which is more useful than Qingxinyin.

The three of them fought all the way as they rushed out. They did not relax even when they saw green trees and red flowers. They did not relax even when they came to the outskirts of the mass grave. Even though there was less resentment and negative energy in these places and the sun could still be seen in the sky, the overly thick resentment and hostility covered the sky and could block the scorching sun, providing a lot of convenience for evil spirits.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and directly pulled Wei Ying and Lan Zhan to use his three poisons. He used the last bit of his spiritual power to activate the three poisons, and finally got rid of the evil spirits and resentment behind him that kept howling.

But as soon as he let out this breath, the Three Poisons had the power to descend steadily on their own, but it couldn't stop Jiang Cheng from going limp and almost falling to the ground in embarrassment.

Wei Ying had already fallen directly behind Jiang Cheng and had been unconscious for a while due to exhaustion. Lan Zhan was still trying hard not to fall asleep, purely because he was too worried about Jiang Cheng and was holding on.

Jiang Cheng helped the two of them sit under a big tree. He used up his last bit of strength to set up a formation to protect everyone's safety, and then fell asleep.

When Jiang Cheng woke up, he saw two Jiang Clan disciples. Before he could say anything, the two young men excitedly called out to the Sect Master, "The Sect Master is finally awake!"

"My two brothers have prepared some food. Would you like to have some to eat first?"

Jiang Cheng looked at his own disheveled state. When he stood up, he found that his hands and feet were still a little weak. He asked casually, "Why are you here? Are there more disciples from the Lotus Pier out hunting at night?"

The disciple who had spoken earlier quickly explained, "No, Sect Master. It was the Immortal Supervisor who suggested setting up an inspection station around the Yiling Mass Graves. Our Jiang Clan and the Gusu Lan Clan were tasked with investigating. My junior fellow apprentice and I happened to walk over here early this morning and saw the Sect Master, Senior Brother, and Han Guang-Jun unconscious, so we came over to protect them."

Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He hadn't expected Lan Huan to move so quickly. Seeing his two junior fellow apprentices standing eagerly in front of a newly erected tent, looking at him attentively, he didn't hesitate. "Let's get another tent to accommodate your senior brother and Han Guang-jun. I need to wash up first."

"No problem~"

Jiang's storage bags are a product that is more popular and more precious than pearls, so of course their disciples must be equipped with them. However, the storage bags worn by ordinary disciples are not very spacious, only two or three cubic meters, but they can hold almost all items related to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The two disciples quickly set up another tent. Jiang Cheng provided two sleeping bags and settled Wei Ying and Lan Zhan one by one. Only then did he have time to go next door to wash up. When he came out, the two junior brothers had already prepared a table of food, and Jiang Cheng enjoyed it without hesitation.

After dinner, Jiang Cheng needed some time to recover his spiritual power. They had eaten up all the spiritual power-replenishing pills on the way out, and now he was too embarrassed to ask his two junior brothers for help, so he could only recover through cultivation.

When Jiang Cheng woke up from his meditation, he realized that the three of them came from outside Yiling City, which was roughly east and west of Yicheng.

With the help of his two junior brothers, Jiang Cheng took Lan Zhan with him, and Wei Ying was taken by his two junior brothers, and they all returned to the inn where the Jiang disciples were temporarily staying in Yiling City.

The person who led the team this time was Meng Yao, and Jiang Yanli stayed behind in the Lotus Pier. Meng Yao was always very thoughtful. Seeing that Jiang Cheng looked like his spiritual power had been exhausted and had not yet fully recovered, she quickly offered him a few bottles of Yuan Dan to replenish his spiritual power. She also arranged for someone to go to the inn where the Lan family disciples lived to inform them of Lan Zhan's current situation, and arranged for the Lan family disciples to come and take care of him.
