The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 288 The Last Lesson

The prison cell in the law enforcement hall.

Jiang Man returned to his cell.

I just had a long chat with Tingfengyin.

However, it was all just casual conversation, nothing substantial.

Previously, I could get some information, but this time, because I encountered fewer issues, I didn't know what to ask.

If I absolutely have to say...

That is, they learned the names of the Sun and Moon Immortals and their strength.

In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between the Bai family patriarch and Meng Qiewei.

Because if you kill the wrong person, that person will really die.

Now all that remains is to await specific news from the Bai family patriarch.

Once we get the news, we need to remind Master Taihua to leave as soon as possible.

Once caught in this vortex, even those in high positions of power will find it difficult to escape their fate.

The people on the list wield enormous influence.

Killing their clones is too serious a crime.

Especially when the other party follows the rules, while the immortal sect commits murder in private, thus breaking the rules themselves.

In addition, Tingfengyin reminded me several times that it would be best to achieve a double kill, and then Zuifusheng would perish. This was the best option.

This was also to avoid the subsequent impact.

During this time, Jiang Man informed Tingfengyin of the Ji family's arrangements.

The other party was quite surprised, wondering what the Ji family was up to.

Furthermore, let Jiang Man observe Ji Meng carefully, as she might really be a fake Meng Qiewei.

Jiang Man was puzzled. Was Meng Qiewei really that difficult to get along with?

Jiang Man recalled the other person's cold demeanor; indeed, they were not easy to get along with.

This is completely different from what happened to Miss Himemu.

I don't know which one is the real Meng Qiewei.

Before returning, he also handed over the Boundless Calamity Stone to the other party, asking them to help seal it.

This time, Jiang Man was sealed for twenty years.

It suddenly felt much safer.

"Old Huang," Jiang Man called out to the old ox.

The other party did not react.

It looks like we'll have to wait two days.

Two days later.

Jiang Man withdrew from his cultivation and saw the old ox grazing on grass, ignoring the talking celestial dog.

"Brother Niu, isn't the sky outside very blue?"

"How delicious is the food outside?"

"Is the air outside sweet?"

"Old Huang, why do you always do this?" Jiang Man asked.

"You think that guy is easy to talk to? That's because there's nothing worth his effort," the old ox replied casually.

Jiang Man nodded: "That's true, I also felt terrified when he made a move."

There are always some side effects.

He couldn't withstand those side effects either.

However, he was quite curious: "Do you think there's any way to confirm that the Bai family patriarch is indeed the Bai family patriarch?"

He then expressed his concerns.

"Killed the wrong person?" Old Ox nodded. "That is indeed a possibility, but once you see him and fight him, you shouldn't have that feeling."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Why?"

“Their temperaments are completely different,” the old ox said.

Jiang was puzzled.

Listening to the Wind didn't mention this either.

“That’s because in that person’s eyes, everyone is the same,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man understood the blind spots of the strong.

After that, he didn't think much of it and waited patiently.

Waiting for news to arrive, and also waiting to enter the inner gate.

Having stayed at the outer gate for so long, it's time to go in.

Despite the potential for numerous troubles and dangers, he was a peerless genius.

Naturally, one must overcome all obstacles.

Famous throughout the world.

By the way, let the Ji family see just how dazzling this fake son-in-law really is.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to shine the light on the Ji family ahead of time.

August 15th.

Jiang Man and the others were still asked to leave the Hall of Enforcement.

“Tomorrow is the grand competition between the first, second, and third academies. Junior brother is about to enter the inner sect, so it's not suitable for him to stay here,” Ren Qian said.

Jiang Man was quite curious: "I want to meet Senior Sister Yu."

He wanted to ask if there was any more Spiritual Resources to receive after entering the inner sect.

Six thousand a month is a lot of spiritual resources.

After all, there are now many places with flowers and spirits.

“She’s currently in seclusion for a promotion, so it will probably take her some more time,” Ren Qian replied.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Ren Qian nodded.

Jiang Man asked in surprise, "Does it really take this long to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Ren Qian remained silent for a moment, and finally said only, "Junior brother, be careful on the road."

Jiang Man left with the old ox and the celestial dog with regret.

The old ox remained silent, while the celestial dog was extremely excited.

It gazes at the majestic sky and breathes in the free air.

Enjoy the beauty of the outside world.

Old Meng was right; the outside world was indeed beautiful and free.

"Master, where are we going now?" the Tengu asked excitedly.

It will travel to every corner, feel the magnificence of the earth, and experience the changes in human culture.

It was thrown into the yard in just a moment.

Jiang Man said, "I'm going to check on the small courtyard. You all stay here and guard the house."

After saying that, he flew away on his sword and headed towards the courtyard of Yunxia Peak.

The old ox lowered its head and ate grass.

The tengu looked around excitedly.

Whenever I see something, I have to ask the old ox what it is.

The old ox would occasionally reply with a single sentence.

They did not pay attention to all of it.

But the tengu didn't care; it had too many problems and had encountered too many things.

Can't take care of anything else.

After a long period of excitement, it finally saw everything here.

It patted its belly; it was a little hungry.

He immediately went to the old ox and asked, "Brother Ox, what delicious food are we going to eat?"

The old ox glanced at the other party and pointed to the spiritual herbs on the ground.

Tengu asked in confusion, "Eat this?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Tengu's eyes immediately lit up: "This must be delicious food!"

He excitedly took a bite as he spoke.

Then, after chewing a few times, he spat it out: "Brother Niu, is this edible?"

"You'll get used to it," the old ox said calmly.

Tengu paused for a moment, then asked, "So what are we having for dinner tonight?"

The old ox glanced at the medicinal herb.

"What about tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?" Tengu asked again.

Before the old ox could finish asking, "When will we finish eating all the spiritual herbs in the yard?", the celestial dog interrupted him.

Tengu exclaimed excitedly, "So we can eat delicious food now?"

The old ox was silent for a moment before saying, "Then we'll go hungry."

Jiang Man arrived at the First Hospital. Yan Yiqiu already knew that he had been released from prison today.

Therefore, the class time was specially postponed.

Waiting for Jiang Man to arrive.

Sure enough, Jiang Man appeared at the door shortly afterward.

Seeing everyone present, Jiang Man asked curiously, "Is everyone here today?"

"It's the last day for the outer sect, so everyone is naturally present," Yan Yiqiu said.

As Jiang Man entered, he subconsciously took out his notebook, waiting for An Rong and Cao Cheng to speak. At that moment, the two saw Jiang Man staring at them with the notebook in hand, and instantly felt offended.

Seeing that they had no desire to speak, Jiang Man could only sit down in his seat with a sense of resentment.

After he sat down, Mr. Yan finally spoke: "Tomorrow is the grand competition between the First, Second and Third Academies. This is your best chance. Those who can participate need to give it their all."

Don't think there will be another chance later.

"If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another one like it."

"I may never be able to enter the inner sect in my entire life."

"You have an advantage, but that advantage will diminish year by year."

"This year is the year with the biggest advantage."

"We must not let our guard down."

After saying this, Mr. Yan looked at Zhuo Bufan and the others and said, "You will also be entering the inner sect in September. The courtyard has also been decided. It may be quite special, and the competition will be much stronger than in the outer sect."

"This kind of competition cannot be countered by staying up all night."

"You need to understand this point, and you need to understand what kind of difficult environment you are facing."

"There won't be many people who can help you then."

After saying all that, she turned her gaze to Jiang Man: "Jiang Man, your situation is the most special. You should understand yourself what kind of predicament you will face after entering the inner sect."

"Sometimes when you encounter a strong enemy, you should avoid their sharp edge."

In the past, Jiang Man would have said, "I will avoid his sharp edge," but times have changed.

The people who came this time were not of the same age.

We have no choice but to avoid it.

Mr. Yan gave a lot more details, and no one refuted them.

After she had finished speaking, she looked down at everyone and sighed, saying, "I have seen all your hard work over the past nine years, but after you leave here, you will have a wider world to explore."

"It will be almost impossible for us to get together again in the future."

"But there's no need to be too sad."

"We are all in the same sect."

"It won't be like Yun Qiansi, where leaving today might be the last time they see each other."

After a long while, Yan Yiqiu looked at everyone and said, "I won't say any more. You all need to prepare for tomorrow's competition, so go back as soon as possible."

"Leaving this door doesn't mean closing your way, but rather opening a new door."

"Of course, these nine years will definitely be interesting years in your future memories."

Mr. Yan then asked everyone to leave.

Zhao Yaoyao looked at Mr. Yan with some reluctance and asked, "Mr. Yan, when can we receive your guidance again?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yan left with a displeased expression.

Zhao Yaoyao was taken aback upon seeing this.

What's going on here?
Wei Beichuan kindly reminded him, "Mr. Yan has been promoted."

Zhao Yaoyao was puzzled.

“Mr. Yan was exceptionally promoted to the inner sect as a teaching assistant, and he's in charge of us,” Wei Beichuan said.

Zhao Yaoyao was stunned, somewhat surprised.

This is the first time I've learned that someone with a Golden Core cultivation level can become an inner disciple and teach.

An Rong asked curiously, "How did Mr. Yan get in?"

"I heard it was forced," Lin Qingshan said.

Jiang Man hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Since Mr. Yan has also entered the inner sect, I can tell her about the evil god.

Then tell her to go to the Enforcement Hall.

It saves me the trouble of making the trip myself.

"How many people are in the inner courtyard?" Jiang Man asked.

“Currently, besides you, there are eight people in our courtyard, and three more are going to join us, making a total of eleven people,” Zhuo Bufan said.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "Three more people are joining our courtyard?"

Zhuo Bufan nodded: "Wei Ran and Wang Yan from Taoyuan Peak, and Fang Yong from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Yunxia Peak."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; they were all coming into his own courtyard.

After going around in circles, Young Master Fang actually caught up with us.

This was the first person in the courtyard to catch up with him.

Young Master Fang is indeed no ordinary person.

It means that the profits from the report haven't been divided yet, and they don't know when they'll come looking for them.

During their casual conversation with Zhuo Bufan, they received some news.

“It seems that other people have been assigned to our courtyard,” Zhao Yaoyao said.

The others asked with considerable curiosity, "Who is it?"

“Ji Meng, Xiao Qing,” Zhao Yaoyao said.

Everyone was puzzled, wondering who this was.
Zhao Yaoyao then received another message.

"Three more have arrived."

"Ji Shoumo, Ji Linglong, Ji Chenfeng."

Everyone was astonished; they were all surnamed Ji?
How is this going?

Not long after, Zhao Yaoyao received another message.

"Here we go again, Bai Qiufeng, Bai Ming, Bai Long."

This time, they all share the surname Bai.

For a moment, everyone felt confused.

I don't understand this situation.

"You need to be careful," Jiang Man kindly reminded them.

"Be careful of what?" Cao Cheng asked curiously.

“Yes, they’re all Golden Core cultivators, so who’s afraid of who?” An Rong chimed in.

Jiang Man kindly reminded them: "They might not be Golden Core cultivators. These six people are most likely at least in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

What level of cultivation?
Is the inner courtyard really this chaotic?

-

A bustling metropolis.

As Tantai Xue walked along the road, she said with some emotion, "Senior, do you think this news is credible?"

"Ji Hao?" Tantai Xiaotian's voice echoed in Tantai Xue's mind.

Tantai Xue nodded.

She had already given up hope on Linghua Xianling's subordinates.

What kind of spiritual source cannot be received, and what kind of spiritual source is received slowly?

All these messy things demonstrate how utterly useless they are.

A motley crew, unable to even collect a million spirit resources.

However, the envoy from the other side was extremely powerful.

His methods were extraordinary.

Even she had to give way.

But she knew that urging her was pointless, so she waited numbly.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

The other party actually thought they were being sincere and told us where the items were in advance.

At first, she thought it was only targeting certain people.

However, the other party confidently gave a name.

They'll still use the methods of an evil god.

That is, to inform them through the spirit of Linghua.

This person is Ji Hao of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Have you heard of this Ji Hao, senior?" Tantai Xue asked.

“I haven’t heard much about him, but he should be from the Ji family,” Tantai Xiaotian said.

"Is the Ji family very powerful?" Tantai Xue suddenly asked.

“Very impressive. The Ji family has a long history. Even before the era of the Immortal Sect, the Ji family had a place. They are still just as powerful now. However, it’s not that scary just because they have the surname Ji.” Tantai Xiaotian said.

"Does the Ji family have other surnames?" Tantai Xue asked curiously.

"Yes, but very few people can change their surname," Tantai Xiaotian said.

"Is Ji Hao qualified?" Tantai Xue asked.

"It's hard to say, since we don't know much about him. But the Ji family's influence isn't in the Misty Cloud Sect, so their information is reliable," Tantai Xiaotian said.

"I have a question: can the Spirit Flower Fairy itself pinpoint who is possessing something?" Tantai Xue asked.

"No, the time hasn't come yet," Tantai Xiaotian said.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Xue said, "That must be news about the Linghua Envoy. Who exactly is he, and how can he be so well-informed? I think we should investigate him. It seems that many of Linghua Immortal's subordinates know the true identity of their envoy."

"Let's go to the Misty Cloud Sect and make contact with Ji Hao. As long as I get close to him, I can confirm whether the item is on him or not," Tantai Xiaotian said.

Tantai Xue nodded: "Okay, that's perfect. I have a legitimate reason to enter. As long as I don't come into contact with Linghua Xianling's subordinates, I think the world hasn't changed."

Her interactions with Linghua Xianling's subordinates over the past few years have made her question the meaning of life.
