The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 213 Are the son-in-law and daughter putting on an act for me?
Jiang Man's voice was not loud.

But those who heard it were involuntarily stunned.

Because what he said was somewhat out of place.

Even the usually composed Meng Qiewei showed surprise, never expecting Jiang Man to say such a thing.

Qingdai lowered her head, her heart filled with emotion.

The son-in-law must be under too much pressure.

With the destiny of an unparalleled genius, such hard work is understandable.

I'm sure Miss will understand.

Old Meng looked at Jiang Man in disbelief.

Instead of thinking about how to get away when someone comes to visit, he wants to read and study?

Before Meng Qiewei could respond, Jiang Man suddenly said, "This is for Miss Ji."

As he spoke, he took out two seemingly ordinary fruits from his storage magic treasure and said, "These are new fruits I obtained, and they taste even better than the previous ones."

Meng Qiewei took the fruit and asked curiously, "Is it even tastier than before?"

Jiang Man nodded confidently.

"Has Young Master Jiang eaten it?" Meng Qie asked, gently rubbing the fruit peel with her fingertips.

Jiang Man shook his head: "I've never eaten it."

"How do you know it tastes better than before, young master?"

"I heard it from someone, but the portion was too small to eat. Miss Ji, you can try it."

Jiang Man's words were sincere and contained no lies.

Qingdai was stunned again, feeling that her son-in-law really knew how to talk.

It would be even better if the first sentence were like this.

Meng Qiewei examined the fruit in her hand and said, "Give me both?"

Jiang Man nodded: "This is the gift I promised to bring for Miss Ji."

"Let me sort through what I've obtained, and I'll give any good items to Miss Ji."

He still had that painting on him, and inside was a box.

It will surely be recorded in the Hundred Books of Heavenly Observation.

Once the record is finished, it will be of no use anymore and can be given to Meng Qiewei.

Keeping something that can be recorded around you is ultimately a hidden danger.

It's too dangerous, and unnecessary.

Unless it's a spirit sword, then I really can't bear to part with it.

After all, a good spirit sword is extremely expensive.

Upon hearing this, Meng smiled radiantly: "May I borrow the thirty-six array patterns from the Hall of Ascension?"

Jiang Man nodded solemnly: "Yes."

"No, I won't lend it to you." Meng Qiewei deliberately refused with a stern face.

Qingdai, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she heard this. "Miss, why are you like this too?"
This is clearly a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between the bride and groom.

Jiang Man was not surprised and, after a moment's thought, said, "I can pay with spiritual energy."

“It’s not a problem with the spiritual source.” Meng Qiewei gently shook her head.

"What's the problem?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled.

He felt that he lacked spiritual energy, and how could he dare to borrow things without it?
"I don't have it right now, I can only lend it to you tomorrow." Meng Qiewei's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Man was slightly taken aback.

Since using an alias, Meng Qiewei is no longer as dignified and aloof as before. Is this in line with Ji Meng's personality?
"Tomorrow is fine too," Jiang Man said.

Although missing a day of study is a loss, you can use that time to cultivate your physical body and practice visualization techniques.

If that doesn't work, then study that box.

Qingdai watched the interaction between the two silently from the side, and suddenly felt that her previous worries were unnecessary.

Moreover, after the young lady adopted the identity of Ji Meng, her personality was different from before. Was she putting on a mask or taking it off?

Then Qingdai reminded him, "Young master, the people from the immortal sect should arrive the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will be able to prove your innocence, and there shouldn't be any serious restrictions."

If the people from the Immortal Sect don't come, Jiang Man's restrictions will become very severe.

Because his innocence could never be confirmed.

Jiang Man was also somewhat concerned about this.

Even if people from the immortal sects arrive, they won't be able to find anything.

Will the restrictions on him continue?
He wasn't sure.

But Lao Huang does have some problems.

Even if the Demon Lord in the shadows tries to protect it, it means that the Zhenyue Division will gain nothing.

Then the case cannot be closed.

With the case still unresolved, I fear I will still face certain limitations.

However, as long as the restrictions aren't too strict, everything is fine.

Then Jiang Man noticed that Meng Qiewei seemed to have something to say.

But in the end, he never said it aloud.

Jiang Man found it strange.

I wanted to ask, but the other person left.

Therefore, he had no choice but to start cultivating first.

Old Meng scoffed, "There's something wrong with your ox. Once the people from the Immortal Sect arrive, you'll likely find it hard to leave."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man looked at Lao Meng with pity: "Lao Meng, is there anything you'd like to eat lately? We can have someone from your Zhao family send some over."

Eat well, drink well, and sleep well.

Don't mistreat yourself.

Old Meng stared at Jiang Man for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Will you attack me if I fall asleep?"

Jiang Man was taken aback, then chuckled, "How much do you look down on peerless geniuses? Is it too much trouble for me to hit you if you don't sleep with me?"

Old Meng was silent for a moment, then finally chose to sit in a corner to rest.

A short while later, he opened his eyes again, staring intently at Jiang Man: "Are you sure you won't make a move?"

"No." Jiang Man shook his head.

"The Zhao family will rescue me sooner or later," Old Meng said confidently.

Jiang Man remained silent upon hearing this, and said nothing more.

He knew that Lao Meng's expectations were destined to be dashed.

Zhaojia
There's no way to save him.

The people from the Immortal Sect are arriving soon; all their presence originates from Old Meng.

Hopeless.

Furthermore, he would certainly not attempt to ambush his opponent.

As a peerless genius, he doesn't need to wait for his opponent to fall asleep before he can make a move.

Jiang Man then began his cultivation.

Continue to improve the physical body.

The physical body has four levels, corresponding to the four realms of the Golden Core.

To advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, one must at least elevate both their physical body and spirit to the mid-stage.

Two days later.

Outside the sect.

The three leaders of Zhenyue Division rode their swords through the air, their robes fluttering in the wind.

Today is the day the immortal from the Immortal Gate's Mountain Guardian Division arrives.

They dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest.

Start waiting early.

"Who is it that came this time?" Youyu asked softly, letting the breeze sway her skirt.

Red Eagle pondered for a moment and said, "Logically, it should still be Immortal Chongguang, but we haven't received any specific information. They only said when he would arrive, which is different from the previous plan."

"Perhaps because this is related to the new evil god, the immortal sects are being more cautious."

"He even specifically instructed that only the Zhenyue Division personnel should be needed for the reception."

"It seems the Immortal Sect takes this matter very seriously," Xiang Tianlin said solemnly. "This way, we can determine exactly who is at fault."

"What if Jiang Man really is the problem?" You Yu asked with curiosity and a hint of amusement. "I wonder if Senior Brother Xiang will still speak up for him?"

Xiang Tianlin didn't care about the other party's provocation and simply replied calmly, "Then naturally we should do as we see fit, but if he has not colluded with the evil god, I hope we can lift the restrictions on him."

"His talent has begun to show."

“It’s too early to talk about talent when he’s at the Golden Core stage, but I don’t deny that he has a high talent for formations,” Red Eagle said.

Cultivation should be done step by step; accumulating resources can accelerate the process.

However, the method of formation is different.
If you don't know it, you basically don't know it.

Even if you spend a lot of time studying and practicing diligently, you will at most achieve some minor success.

Some things you'll never understand in your entire life.

That's why Jiang Man was able to learn the twenty-one basic array patterns in such a short time and even point out the errors in the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Exceptionally talented.

While they were still discussing it, they suddenly received a message.

The three of them said in unison, "They're here."

This is a notification from their identity token.

At this moment, Jiang Man, who was in the prison cell, suddenly opened his eyes.

He also received a notification.

People from the Immortal Sect have arrived.

The time for Lao Huang to be tested has come, but he's not sure who's coming.

Hopefully, he's not some kind of strongman.

Otherwise, there is a real danger.

At this moment, atop the mountains outside the Misty Cloud Sect, a middle-aged man soared through the air on his sword, his robes fluttering. Beside him followed a young cultivator, his expression respectful, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.

Behind them followed four people dressed in strange clothes, all wearing black hats, obscuring their faces.

However, the aura emanating from the four individuals was as deep as the sea.

Unable to detect.

“Chongguang.” The middle-aged man at the head spoke calmly, with an unquestionable air of authority.

"This junior is here." Chongguang, who was standing next to the other party, lowered his head and was extremely respectful.

Even just following along the way, he felt immense pressure.

He never dreamed that the evil god incident of the Misty Cloud Sect would alarm this important figure.

"Are we almost at the Misty Cloud Sect?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, we're almost there," Chongguang replied respectfully.

The middle-aged man's voice was deep and calm, like the stillness of an ancient well: "How much do you know about the person in charge of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

"I know a bit about them. They have all cultivated in the immortal sects and are extremely strong and capable. They can handle most of the matters related to the Misty Cloud Sect and the evil god without the immortal sects having to intervene."

“It’s much stronger than before. This time it has the aura of a new evil god, which is why it sought help from the immortal sects because it couldn’t be identified,” Chongguang replied cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent.

His calm, unchanging expression made it impossible to tell whether he was satisfied with the answer or something else.

Chongguang felt extremely oppressed.

I can't understand it; I can only guess.

The main point is that this person is one of the four elders in charge of special departments.

The supreme figure who commands the Zhenyue Division and the Dinghai Palace, is the True Man of Taihua.

Even within the entire immortal sect, his status is extremely important.

Soon, the outline of the Misty Cloud Sect appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

"Elder, we've arrived," Chongguang reported in a low voice.

Master Taihua gazed ahead, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "The Misty Cloud Sect has done quite well these past few years."

Chongguang lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to respond casually.

Just then, three streaks of light pierced through the air and arrived.

It was Red Eagle and his group.

However, when they saw who it was, they were all stunned and stood there.

There were quite a lot of people here this time.

They didn't know the one in charge.

As members of the Zhenyue Division, they knew even the person in charge of the Zhenyue Division, and as the heads of the sect, their status was not low.

But the person in front of him was a complete stranger.

Even so, they still bowed respectfully: "Greetings, esteemed seniors."

"Who is in charge?" Master Taihua asked calmly.

Red Eagle immediately stepped forward, bowed his head, and replied, "It is junior."

Master Taihua nodded slightly, his voice devoid of emotion: "Let's go, let's go to a quiet place first."

Red Eagle dared not say more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Immortal Chongguang, who had interacted with them before, was also standing quietly to the side, his posture no different from that of an ordinary follower, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

This also made them even more puzzled: who exactly was this important person?

A few moments.

The group moved to the main hall of the Zhenyue Division.

Master Taihua strolled to the main seat and calmly took his seat.

Everyone else stood with their hands at their sides, not daring to make the slightest movement.

For some reason, the three members of the Crimson Eagle Trio felt an immense sense of oppression.

It was as if the air became so stagnant and difficult to breathe whenever that person sat high on his throne.

“Chongguang.” As they pondered, Master Taihua broke the silence.

"Yes." Chongguang immediately bowed.

Master Taihua calmly looked at the other party and said, "Go and wander around to see if there is any trace of evil spirits."

"Yes," Chongguang replied respectfully.

Without hesitation, he bowed and took three steps back before turning and leaving, never once glancing at Red Eagle and the others.

He knew perfectly well that this was just an excuse for him to leave.

He could not know, much less should he know, what happened afterward.

Therefore, he can conclude that...

Master Taihua's sudden visit to the Wuyun Sect had other purposes.

After Chongguang left, Master Taihua turned his attention to the three, including Chi Ying.

In an instant, the three of them felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and they could hardly breathe.

I have absolutely no idea what this important person is trying to do.

They didn't even know who he was.

Why did they suddenly visit the Misty Cloud Sect, and what is their purpose?

What did they do wrong?
But no one told them.

The only person who could tell them, the immortal Chongguang, had been sent away.

"Da da."

Master Taihua tapped the armrest with his fingertips, each tap resonating in the hearts of everyone present.

Slow and clear.

No one knows what he's thinking.

After a long silence, the knocking stopped abruptly, and then the voice of Master Taihua rang out: "Did you apply for the 'Record of Evil Gods'?"

Upon hearing this, all three were taken aback and instinctively wanted to deny it.

Soon, Red Eagle remembered something else.

Records of Evil Gods?
They didn't apply, but Zui Fusheng probably did.

Seeing the three people's reactions, Master Taihua already understood that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Before they could answer, he shook his head slightly and said, "There's no need to answer my question."

Red Eagle and the others were stunned for a moment.

Master Taihua leaned back and said slowly, "The Record of Evil Gods is not a book in the traditional sense. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be shown to you like a book, and it is difficult to carry around."

"Furthermore, such books cannot be easily shown to others; they must be viewed in an environment free of unauthorized persons."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it lightly.

The four men in black robes standing behind him instantly moved to the four corners of the hall.

Then the four of them made hand seals and activated the formation. In an instant, the formations around them were connected, as if they were separated into an independent space.

Countless points of light coalesced within, transforming into ethereal, suspended books.

A portal of light opened within the formation, facing the three members of the Crimson Eagle faction.

They stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

"The books related to the Records of Evil Gods are presented here in the traditional book format. You three are free to consult them while I stay here," said Master Taihua.

He looked at the three stunned people and continued, "Any other questions?"

The three of them then came to their senses, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.

But in the end, he just lowered his head and said no.

Then Master Taihua told them that they could leave on their own or consult the Record of Evil Gods.

Finally, the three of them had no idea how they got out of the main hall.

But they quickly found a place to sit in the corridor.

All three sat in silence.

No one spoke.

From the very beginning, they had been waiting for the outcome of Zui Fusheng's application and considering who should be sent to the Immortal Sect to borrow the book.

They have always gone to the immortal sects to borrow books; they have never seen anyone bring the "Record of Evil Gods" directly to them.
Youyu couldn't help but look at Chiying and ask, "What's the situation now?"

Red Eagle shook his head and remained silent.

These questions are beyond his comprehension.

At first, they thought that Zui Fusheng's "waiting" was following the normal procedure.

But now it seems...
They are simply ignorant.

The significance of this word "etc." far exceeds expectations.

Now the situation has reversed again.

As long as Zui Fusheng's requests do not harm the living beings on earth, they find it difficult to refuse.

The confidence that had been built up from previous underestimation.
That's it!

the other side.

Qingdai was somewhat surprised after receiving the news.

"Who is this person?" Meng Qiewei asked calmly, taking a sip of water.

“Master Taihua,” Qingdai said.

Meng Qiewei paused slightly in her cup-holding hand: "Does the immortal sect value this so much?"

Qingdai was also puzzled: "It is indeed a bit strange. Why would Taihua come? Could it be that she came for Miss?"

"I don't know if he knows the young lady's whereabouts, but logically it shouldn't be allowed."

He is not in charge of the people on the list.

"Then what is he here for?"
"Could there really be a new evil god?"

Meng Qiewei put down her teacup and said, "Don't worry about it. Has there been any news from the clan recently?"

“Yes, they know that the son-in-law was wrongly accused of colluding with an evil god. Now someone has proposed to recall the five people to be married and cancel the marriage.” Qingdai said.
