Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 30: Upon seeing Wen Zhong, Daji unleashes her fury.

His hair, fluttering in the wind, first touched the white jade bracelet, which instantly shattered into dust.

Then, the white jade bracelet suddenly pierced through his head, through the white mist, and struck the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The scene of brains splattering did not occur.

Yang Jian emerged unharmed from the white mist. He had maintained his Water Cloud Body state, which allowed him to transform into clouds at any time to evade attacks.

The reason he withstood the first blow from the Vajra Bracelet was because he calculated through his demonic eye between his eyebrows that the blow posed no threat to him, and he could also use the force to pick up the giant axe on the ground.

He wasn't feeling well at that moment either.

He did not completely avoid the sword energy, otherwise he would not have maintained the Water Cloud Form for so long.

The internal organs were now covered with countless tiny cracks.

The surface was still wreathed in wisps of cyan sword energy.

Even with the essence brought by Deng Zhong's death, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts advanced to the third stage of the sixth level.

Even with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts operating at full speed, it couldn't completely heal the injuries in his body; it could only just balance the damage from the sword energy.

To prevent him from shattering into countless pieces.

"Buzz~"

The white jade bracelet that had fallen beside Yang Jian suddenly flew up, emitting a buzzing sound, and flew back into Mo Liqing's hand.

"Yang Jian, how dare you kill Grand Tutor Wen's chief disciple!"

Mo Liqing scolded.

"Heh~"

Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Yang Jian let out a cold laugh: "The Demon General is utterly unreasonable. Does he have the right to kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill him?"

"You're quick-witted and sharp-tongued. Come with me to see Grand Tutor Wen and see how he deals with you."

Mo Liqing's rebuttal just now was merely a formality, to prevent the Deng family of Chaoge from blaming him for Deng Zhong's death later.

It was already late at night.

Wen Zhong sat in the barracks, playing with the jade seal in his hand.

He could sense that Deng Zhong was using the Qingping Sword Qi that had been bestowed upon him.

It seems that Yang Jian must be dead.

It was worth it for him to spare the cost of the sword energy bestowed upon him by his master, as he managed to spare a wisp and give it to Deng Zhong.

He planted a bewitching spell in the sword energy. As long as Deng Zhong saw Yang Jian, his killing intent would be completely unstoppable once it arose. What's even more ingenious is that Deng Zhong, under the spell, would explain his killing intent in his mind, making the other person even more convinced.

It's time for Jade Void Palace to make its move.

He couldn't help but think about it, but he wasn't very confident.

It's a pity that Yang Jian who came this time wasn't of high enough stature; it would have been better if he were a disciple of one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

As long as Yuxu Palace intervenes, the Jie Sect will inevitably unite under this external force, and his plans will naturally be successful.

He would not hesitate to risk his life for this.

"Sigh~"

Wen Zhong sighed again. The Jie Sect had become the largest sect in the prehistoric world because of its numerous disciples. Anyone who heard about the origins of the Jie Sect would be wary of it.

But this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

With more people around, things become more complicated.

With his divine eye, he could see clearly that the Jie Sect was currently like oil being poured on a raging fire; if they made a mistake, they would be burned.

The only way to change all this is through external force.

This is why he wanted to become the second Grand Tutor in the Yin-Shang dynasty.

As for the first one...

The boy named Yang Jian guessed correctly. The Jie Sect has many disciples, and their strength is high, but so far they can only live on a few islands overseas.

These numerous blessed lands and grottoes have all been occupied and enjoyed by ancient immortals, gods, and great demons.

Why can't his fellow disciples from the Jie Sect enjoy these blessed lands?

If the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect could snatch it, why couldn't the third, fourth, and fifth generation disciples of the Jie Sect, as well as many outer disciples, snatch it?

He Wenzhong then wanted to ask these ancient immortals, gods, and demons whether the blessed lands and grottoes belonged to whoever lived the longest, or whoever had the strongest fist!

The position of Grand Tutor in the Yin-Shang Dynasty!

It was just a trial balloon.

Report!

The messenger burst in, informing them of the events at the Jizhou camp and Deng Zhong's death, concluding with, "General Mo Liqing is escorting the Jizhou rebels to prison."

"Snap!"

The jade that Wen Zhong had been playing with suddenly fell to the ground. The jade was not a spiritual jade, but it was of good quality and could be considered a top-grade jade.

If it were to fall to the ground now, it would inevitably shatter into pieces.

Yang Jian! Who exactly are you? Even the sword energy of the Qingping Sword can't harm you.

The wisp of sword energy he released would surely kill even an ordinary immortal.

The messenger, thinking Wen Zhong was shocked by the news of Deng Zhong's death, hurriedly said, "Grand Tutor, please accept my condolences."

Wen Zhong snapped out of his daze, flicked his sleeve, and the shattered jade on the ground disappeared: "Pass on my military order, have my second disciple Ji Qing bring over the leaders of the Jizhou rebels."

"yes!"

After the messenger left.

Wen Zhong did not have to wait long.

The second disciple, Ji Qing, led Su Hu, Su Quanxiao, Su Daji, and Yang Jian to Wen Zhong's camp.

"Su Hu pays his respects to the Grand Tutor. Su Hu has always respected the Grand Tutor and has never had any intention of harming him. Please, Grand Tutor, see the truth."

Su Hu was overcome with grief, cursing Yuan Futong to the core in his heart, and bent down to kneel.

But he felt an invisible force supporting him from kneeling.

In the end, all he could do was bow and scrape.

Su Daji and Su Quanxiao followed suit: "Su Daji (Su Quanxiao) greets the Grand Tutor."

"Now that you have seen the Grand Tutor, why don't you bow?"

Ji Qing glared at Yang Jian. Of the four, three obediently bowed down, while Yang Jian stood upright.

If he hadn't been grateful to Yang Jian for helping him get rid of his senior brother Deng Zhong, he would have already lashed him with a whip to teach him a lesson.

Yang Jian was casually wrapped in a tattered cloth around his waist. He had survived the Water Cloud Body technique, but his clothes had been torn to shreds by the sword energy.

They could only find a rag to cover themselves temporarily.

He hadn't bowed down earlier simply because he was carrying a tattered cloth in his hand.

After tying the rag in a knot around his waist.

He finally freed his hands, clasped them together, and said, "Yang Jian greets the Grand Tutor."

Wen Zhong's brow furrowed and his eyes widened as he scanned the four people. When he saw Su Daji, he suddenly froze.

"Su Hu, you're a big, burly guy, but your daughter is a rare beauty."

Su Hu: "It is my daughter's honor to have won the favor of the Grand Tutor."

Su Daji smiled shyly: "Grand Tutor, you flatter me."

"Let this Grand Tutor take a good look at you!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Wen Zhong caused the chains binding Su Daji to loosen and fall to the ground.

"However Grand Tutor wishes to see it, this humble woman will let you see it that way."

Su Daji smiled calmly, swaying her hips as she walked gracefully, her alluring eyes fixed on Wen Zhong, her words full of provocation.

Yang Jian frowned slightly, recalling how submissive Su Daji was when she was captured, and her current flirtatious demeanor.

Could it be that Su Daji's target is Wen Zhong?

As Su Daji approached, she slowly extended her slender hand: "Grand Tutor, what would you like to see first?"

Wen Zhong was about to catch it.

Su Daji suddenly retreated, causing Wen Zhong to miss his grasp. She then smiled coquettishly behind her veil, saying, "Please, Grand Tutor, gently stroke my hand. I am quite shy right now."

Su Daji extended her hand again.

Wen Zhong did not accept the reply, but said solemnly, "No need. I have already seen clearly that you three, father and daughters, have no intention of rebelling against me."

The second disciple, Jiqing, explained, "My master has a third eye between his eyebrows, which can distinguish between the wicked and the good. If he says that you have no intention of rebelling, then you will be fine."

Su Daji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wen Zhong was not a lecherous man, otherwise she would have had to sacrifice her beauty.

It's impossible to say that Su Hu had no intention of harming him.

As for the current outcome, it is natural that her charm tricked Wen Zhong's supernatural powers.

Su Hu was still somewhat useful, but now that she's dead, it will be very inconvenient for her to do things in the future.

What troubled her was that Yang Jian had killed Wen Zhong's disciple, and even if she wanted to use her charm magic to exonerate Yang Jian, she couldn't, because charm magic wasn't omnipotent.

Wen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Ji Qing, take these three away and settle them in properly."

Su Hu repeatedly bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Grand Tutor!"

Su Quanxiao looked at Yang Jian with schadenfreude. He was disappointed that Yang Jian hadn't been killed by the two men before, and he was even more disappointed after discovering that Yang Jian had killed Deng Zhong.

His heart was at ease; Yang Jian was now certain to die.

Su Daji looked at Wen Zhong with worry in her eyes, trying to plead for Yang Jian, hoping that her charm could influence his judgment of Yang Jian: "Grand Tutor, please understand, Yang Jian had no intention of killing your beloved disciple. It was Deng Zhong who had murderous intent that forced Yang Jian to retaliate."

"No need for further words, I have my own arrangements. You may leave now."

Wen Zhong waved for them to leave. He had a slight liking for Su Daji, but that didn't change his mind.

Yang Jian knew that Su Daji was worried about his inner core, so he gave her a wink to reassure her.

In contrast, he was more worried that Su Daji would activate the Heart-Eating Curse, making his already overburdened body even worse.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thank you, dear readers.

Please continue reading.

Please, dear readers, have pity on this newbie!

I'm speechless.
