114 Part 1
Chapter 114
The fact that Jiang Tianxing was hiding Jiang Ying indicated a kind of protection. As long as he possessed a demonic core, it meant a huge threat to both righteous and demon cultivators.
Xu Ziyan believed that with Jiang Tianxing’s wisdom, it was not difficult to see that it would be the safest way to let Jiang Ying follow them. After all, the Jiang family was still too small. Once Jiang Ying got exposed, there was no way to protect him with only the power of the Jiang family.
And it’s actually the reality as well. The soundproof cover soon opened. Jiang Tianxing announced with a plain expression that thanks to his outstanding performance in the battle just now, “Jiang Ping” would follow Xu Zirong and become his attendant cultivator for five years.
The so-called attendant cultivator was actually the guard of a cultivator. He’d have to make a contract with his master. Before the attendant died, no one could threaten the safety of his master. This was a setting equivalent to a deed, and it seemed to be very unfair to Jiang Ping.
However, there were many young disciples who were envious of Jiang Ping. After all, the attendant cultivator had to follow his master, so all the pills and resources he required for cultivation would be provided by his master as well.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, there would be limited benefits of becoming their attendant cultivator. However, Xu Zirong was a direct disciple of a cultivator of nascent soul. In his capacity, the attendant cultivator would obtain massive resources. With the talents of the Xu brothers, it would be a great idea to follow them and he’d only have to give five years of his life.
The rest of the Jiang family were envious of the luck of Jiang Ping, but Jiang Tianxing was shocked at how Xu Ziyan discovered Jiang Ying, or…how Jiang Ying caught up with Xu Ziyan.
As for Jiang Ying, Jiang Tingxing always felt full of contradictions. As the head of the Jiang family, the fact that Jiang Ying possessed a demonic core would be a legitimate reason to get killed. However, as his father, how could Jiang Tingxing do that to his son?
Since he was unable to give up on him, nor to train him upright, Jiang Tianxing felt extremely painful. Fortunately, although Jiang Ying had two souls and that he had been imprisoned all his life, he’d never had any resentment. Apparently, he had no emotional attachment to the Jiang family either. It might be a good way to keep his son now that Jiang Ying was going to follow the Xu brothers.
Recruiting the attendant cultivator, Jiang Ying, was just one of the small parts in this battle. Soon, the monsters launched a third siege.
This time, the attack was led by a huge black rhino. The skin on its body faintly exuded a metallic light, and there was a faint black light on the rhinoceros horns on its nose.
“Concentrate the attack!” Jiang Tianxing spotted this huge monster at a glance. He felt a heavy sense of depression and crisis on its body.
The cultivators on the city wall began to focus their attack on the black rhino. Colorful attack spells hit on its skin, but they didn’t even leave a small wound.
Jiang Tianxing’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his arms high. At once, a group of cultivators in the early stage of Qi condensation stood at the forefront of the city wall, releasing their spells downward.
When facing their spells, the iron rhino dared not move. Black light flashed on its body, and the metallic light on its skin shone even more. The little blue bird that had been staying on the tip of his horn flicked its wings suddenly. And it released a sharp cry.
Hum——
All the cultivators ranking in the low and middle levels were shaken by this sonic attack and they lost contact with the spiritual power in their body. Although it was only a short time, the spells attacked the cultivators after losing control. Half of the cultivators snorted and there’s blood spilling out from the corners of their mouth.
Those cultivators at the stage of Qi condensation were at the center of the blue bird’s attack, and suddenly, six out of ten cultivators were injured.
Although they were not severely injured by this backlash, there were overwhelming consequences.
Just as the blue bird screamed, the iron rhinoceros cleverly seized the opportunity to speed up again. Its heavy body slammed against the city gate, causing the entire tower to tremble, and the defensive array even flickered and it almost collapsed.
“Be careful!” Jiang Tianxing never expected that there would be such a huge impact of this iron rhinoceros. It almost broke through the city gate with just one blow, and when he was worried about whether the defensive array could withstand the next blow, a figure suddenly appeared. That figure appeared on the edge of the city gate, there’s a red glow in his hand and it slashed towards the city gate.
“Huh!” An old lady in gray clothes holding a leading cane snorted coldly, and she slammed the cane to the ground.
A wave visible to the naked eye undulated from the ground and quickly extended to the bottom of the city gate.
“Hey, it’s too late!” The person laughed wildly, and he wanted to run. From the laughter, it was clearly elder Qi of the Jiang family.
The old woman sneered coldly and raised the crutch in her hand. A small black shadow shot out from her crutch, and it was shot into elder Qi’s body.
Elder Qi was shocked. This time, as he wanted to succeed, he cooperated with the iron rhinoceros to attack the city gate. Before the attack, he had already prepared to be besieged by the cultivators, that’s why he’d prepared at least three defensive arrays. As long as he could hold on for a few seconds, he could then activate the Thousand Miles Teleportation to escape smoothly, but he didn’t expect that he could not even defend himself against the old woman. Although there weren’t any major effects after the black shadow entered his body, it’s easy to know that once that old woman acted, there wouldn’t be zero harm.
114 Part 2
While the old woman in grey clothes was chasing after elder Qi, Xu Ziyan paid more attention to whether the city gate was damaged. Once the city gate was broken through, more than three times of the cultivators would die if they wanted to drive the monsters out. Although there were many arrays set in the city early in the morning, those couldn’t stop the monsters from slaughtering the civilians.
“Roar!”
The old woman knocked on the crutch, and the ripples produced moved extremely fast. They even reached the city gate earlier than the red light. After the ripples on the ground flashed, a huge spiritual tiger emerged from the ground, it opened its mouth and let out a loud roar, a blue light spouted from its mouth, just blocking the red light.
The power of that red light was so powerful that the cyan light in the spiritual tiger’s mouth was quickly weakened, but the tiger was not alone in the fight – it was only delayed for a moment, and Xu Ziyan’s Thunder Spirit Arrow and Xu Zirong’s blood vine had already been released, they got entangled with that red light.
The spiritual tiger was very clever. When it saw that the red light was knocked out by Xu Ziyan’s thunder spirit arrow, and was entangled by Xu Zirong’s blood vine, it decisively withdrew the cyan light in its mouth. This kind of cyan light was its natural instinct, although it was powerful, it caused a huge consumption of power too, so it had to save some when it still could…
Under Xu Ziyan’s continuous attacks with his Thunder Spirit arrows, the red light soon got dispersed. At the other end of the battlefield, Elder Qi had fallen to the ground, and there was a big hole broken through his brain, the bloody stuff in it all fell out. A small snake with the size of a thin thumb was in his head.
When Xu Ziyan saw the little snake, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Although it was a small one, it could cause bigger damage than those monsters at the later stage of Qi condensation.
The old woman waved her hand coldly, and the little snake turned into a black shadow and merged into the old woman’s body.
The crowd standing around the old woman all walked away. Elder Qi’s miserable body was still lying on the ground. They had a heartfelt fear of the little snake.
The old woman did not move, she walked slowly to the city gate and sat down, and the spiritual tiger also obediently squatted beside her. After the scene just now, everyone understood that if anyone wanted to destroy the city gate, they must first deal with the old woman.
The attack of the iron rhino also brought a huge crisis to the West City Gate. If Jiang Tianxing did not let the old woman squat down there early in the morning, the monsters had already rushed in through the city gate.
When thinking of this, Jiang Tianxing felt a little scared. Elder Qi was the guest of the Jiang family. If he was a traitor, it would also mean that the Jiang family would be destroyed once the west city gate was broken through. If they also found out Jiang Ying who’s hiding, the Jiang family would be seen as having an evil deal with the demon cultivators and it would be the end of the family.
The more he thought about it, the more fortunate Jiang Tianxing felt. He immediately regarded Xu Ziyan as his lucky star. If Xu Ziyan hadn’t told him about elder Qi having something strange and reminded him, half of the residents in Wuti City might have died already.
His face went pale, when he was staring at elder Qi’s corpse, he really wished to slash him again and again, but after thinking about it, he suddenly looked back at Jiang Tianye.
Most of the people in Jiang family were shocked at elder Qi’s attack, including Jiang Tianye. He looked at elder Qi’s corpse dumbfounded, as if he couldn’t believe that elder Qi had colluded with demon cultivators.
Jiang Tianxing looked at Jiang Tianye coldly. Jiang Tianye recovered from the shock and saw that his elder brother was looking at him skeptically.
He only felt that his brain buzzed and almost exploded. Although he had always disliked this half-brother, and he even tried to take him off from the position of patriarch several times in secret, he would never collude with the demonic cultivators.
Their father died in the hands of demon cultivators in the far west. No matter how ambitious he was, he’d never cooperate with those who killed his father!
Jiang Tianye’s face was getting red, the blue veins on his forehead almost burst out and his eyes looked bloody. It seemed that Jiang Tianxing had just stabbed him in the chest.
Jiang Tianxing squinted slightly, as he seemed to be relieved with the reactions of Jiang Tianye. In the end, it’s his own brother, even if they weren’t born by the same mother, they’d lived together for so many years and there was still some bonding. Jiang Tianxing knew about Jiang Tianye’s ambitions, but he had the confidence to completely suppress them, and that’s why he never cared about Jiang Tianye’s trivial actions.
This time, someone in the Jiang family colluded with demon cultivators, as elder Qi was Jiang Tianye’s loyal attendant, Jiang Tianxing once wondered if his younger brother had ever participated in this matter. Fortunately, Jiang Tianye seemed to have proven the contrary.
After taking a long, meaningful look at Jiang Tianye, Jiang Tianxing retracted his gaze. Jiang Tianye was so pissed off that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, yet he couldn’t show his emotions. Since Qi was once his follower, it was normal for him to be suspected.
