Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Self-Destruct Again?
From the wooden house, countless Heart Race People flew out.
Everyone was shocked by the scene.
"Wow, what’s going on?"
"Has this place become an Immortal Realm?"
"The Spiritual Qi is so dense, I can’t even absorb it all."
"It’s unbelievable, did the Clan Leader do this?"
"It must be, right..."
The sky was filled with countless people cheering excitedly.
Jiang Cheng glanced and noticed that the Heart Division was predominantly women, accounting for about seventy percent.
Immediately, those who speculated it was the Clan Leader’s doing were proven wrong.
"What happened?"
A beautiful woman who appeared over thirty flew out from the central wooden hall, followed by a group of experts.
"Clan Leader!"
"Greetings to the Clan Leader!"
"Was it not your doing?"
"No."
The beautiful woman extended her Divine Thought, scanning the surroundings, but could find nothing unusual, except Jiang Cheng, an outsider.
Lan Ti quickly sent a secret message.
"She is Clan Leader Qing Suo of the Heart Division, Ascending to Saint Ninth Layer, don’t provoke her."
Her heart was now wrapped in sweetness, indescribably blissful.
You all are still curious, not knowing this is something ’my man’ prepared just for me.
Before Qing Suo could arrive, a cold shout rang out from behind.
"Clan Leader Qing Suo, you still say Lan Ti is not here?"
"Hmph, you Mingxin Sacred Land need to explain this!"
"Trouble, those following the Clan Leader are from the Silence Sacred Land."
Lan Ti wanted to hide, but it was already too late.
Qing Suo could only lead a large group over.
The Silence Sacred Land had come to demand a person, and she had used the excuse that Lan Ti had not returned, hiding her in the forbidden area of the back mountain.
She intended to protect her, indeed.
Unexpectedly, she was still discovered.
"Lan Ti, you killed Yu Liang and Han Huayuan, two Saint Heirs, a crime punishable by death!"
"Clan Leader Qing Suo, what do you have to say now?"
Jiang Cheng scanned the three with Insight, seeing through their Realms clearly.
All were Daoist Palace Ninth Layer, not even reaching Ascending to Saint.
Daring to question in front of an Ascending to Saint Ninth Layer was indeed a spectacle.
Yet, Qing Suo didn’t flare up.
She just kept a calm face, frowning.
"The matter of Lan Ti killing those two Saint Heirs is quite strange. With her Power, how could she accomplish it?"
"This matter must be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
The Silence Sacred Land’s black-bearded Elder sneered coldly: "We went to suppress the rebellion because of the news of Lan Ti creating chaos in Qianxing Dynasty!"
"Afterwards, both Saint Heirs were dead, yet she stands here alive!"
"Clan Leader Qing Suo, we have shown great respect to your Mingxin Sacred Land, but this concerns the reputation of our Silence Sacred Land, there is no room for negotiation."
Brother Cheng almost wanted to laugh, you call this respect?
Well, I’d like to see how you act when disrespectful.
Some among the Heart Division people were indignant, wanting to say something, like the two women who led the way earlier.
But they had no say before the Clan Leader and Elders.
Others were indifferent, unconcerned as it didn’t affect them.
After all, Lan Ti wasn’t from their Heart Division, no need to protect her.
"Sirs, there is no concrete evidence for this matter, concluding it now is premature."
Qing Suo still argued reasonably.
This made Jiang Cheng shake his head secretly.
Some things can’t be solved by reasoning.
He was about to step forward but suddenly saw one of the Saint Heirs from Silence Sacred Land burst into laughter.
"You want evidence?"
"I forgot to tell you, actually an True Spirit Consciousness of our Great Elder, Venerable Mirror Ring was also at Qianxing Dynasty at that time, he witnessed the entire process!"
"What?"
Qing Suo was startled, and the rest of the Heart Division were also surprised, whispering.
"Mirror Ring was present at the time?"
"How did Lan Ti survive then?"
"Yes, with him there, how could the two Saint Heirs be killed?"
"Invite the True Spirit Consciousness of the Great Elder!"
With that, the three from Silence Sacred Land formed a circle.
One Saint Heir took out a transparent orb-like Treasure and tossed it into the air.
The three simultaneously activated their Daoist Palaces, the Treasure hung in the air, radiating light.
A wisp of smoke rose.
A phantom silhouette appeared above the smoke, it was Venerable Mirror Ring.
"Greetings, Great Elder!"
The three knelt simultaneously.
Even Qing Suo and the Heart Division Elders quickly greeted.
"Venerable Mirror Ring, you are here as well."
"Long time no see."
"Such a small matter, no need for you to personally intervene, Venerable."
Lan Ti wasn’t wrong, though Heart Division was stronger than Silence Sacred Land, outside the Nine Great Sacred Lands, with Saint Tiers backing, they lived cautiously in the Thousand Spirit Domain.
Venerable Mirror Ring snorted coldly.
"If I don’t show up, you might sneakily send Lan Ti away..."
Before Qing Suo and the others could continue ’reasoning’, they saw Venerable Mirror Ring’s expression change suddenly.
"You, you’re here too!"
His gaze shot straight at Jiang Cheng, intending to pierce him with a thousand wounds.
The battle in the Imperial Palace last time was his greatest shame of a lifetime.
As a dignified Ascending to Saint Venerable, rolling around because of a single word.
Honestly, if Yu Liang and Han Huayuan hadn’t died, he would have killed them himself upon returning to keep his disgrace from being witnessed.
This matter had become Mirror Ring Venerable’s Heart Demon, as long as it exists, he could not advance his Realm any further.
He pursued Lan Ti relentlessly to prevent her from ever seeing the sun again.
As for the instigator Jiang Cheng...
How could he let him off?
He longed day and night to feast on his flesh and peel his skin.
But, he didn’t know Jiang Cheng, having no clue who he was.
The Thousand Spirit Domain is vast and finding him wasn’t easy.
Unexpectedly, they met today by chance.
"You still dare appear!"
"Good, good! Very good!"
He activated the orb-like Treasure slowly drifting over, his Ascending to Saint Realm aura congealing, sealing the space around him.
Jiang Cheng felt he could no longer mobilize a bit of Spiritual Qi.
Ascending to Saint Realm can already form its own Domain, where the Rules differ greatly from the outside.
At this Realm, everything below Ascending to Saint is just an ant.
Even though this was only a True Spirit Consciousness, it could bring all Daoist Palace Ninth Layers to ruin.
"Lan Ti, leave him quickly."
"Venerable Mirror Ring, hold your hand, there must be a misunderstanding..."
Ready to act, Qing Suo and the others panicked.
They still hoped to resolve the matter peacefully, at least to protect Lan Ti.
What worried them more, Lan Ti didn’t escape, but drew her sword and stood closer to Jiang Cheng.
Brother Cheng was also very surprised, was this woman so righteous?
But girl, I don’t need it.
As long as I die once and resurrect, this old man can be beaten easily. What’s there to fear?
He stood out with a smile.
"What, you want to roll around again?"
He was deliberately taunting, knowing where Mirror Ring Venerable’s scars were and picking at them.
Originally seething with a drive to act, Mirror Ring Venerable suddenly halted.
He realized a serious issue—could he kill him?
Killing was a must, but this True Spirit Consciousness might not suffice.
If he managed to roll things over again this time...
With tens of thousands of Heart Division spectators around, the humiliating scene would be exposed.
Couldn’t bear the humiliation!
Bang!
In full view, the old man’s True Spirit Consciousness decisively self-destructed once more.
