Chapter 1235 – Entering the City of Misfortunes
In the courtyard, An Zheng, Chen Shaobai, Du Shoushou, and Da Da Ye sat around the stone table in a circle. The delicacies placed on the table were already being eaten by Chen Shaobai alone by eighty percent of them. What surprised Du Shoushou was that Da Da Ye sat down obediently and did not even take a bite.
“Are you having a bad appetite today?”
Du Shoushou subconsciously asked.
Dada Ye seriously replied, “I can endure it, but the main thing is that I’m not as pitiful as him.”
Chen Shaobai paused his hand that was stuffing food into his mouth, grief welled up within: “Thinking about me, Chen Shaobai, there actually came a day that I am pitied by someone else … But then again, if you were living the life I led a while ago, you wouldn’t be much better off than me. ”
When he thought of that tragic life, tears welled up in his eyes. “You all don’t know how abnormal that old fellow is!”
Du Shoushou: “Looking at your body and bones, it doesn’t seem to be able to do anything to you.”
Chen Shaobai glared at Du Shoushou: Mental torture!
Du Shoushou: “Oh, that’s nothing. It’s not physical torture.”
Chen Shaobai wanted to spit the thing in his mouth onto Du Shoushou’s body, but after thinking about it, he became unwilling.
“All these reclusive great cultivators have rather strange temperaments.”
An Zheng patted Chen Shaobai’s shoulder: “Look how good you are, your personality is more plain and simple than before. I remember that in the past, your food was a little inelegant, but you didn’t even eat it. I was staring at a fly that landed on the plate, Du Shoushou used his chopsticks to pick up the fly and rolled it into a vegetable leaf.
Chen Shaobai: “...”
Da Da Ye saw Chen Shaobai’s expression and laughed out loud. “They’re lying to you!”
Chen Shaobai let out a long sigh. “That’s good.”
Da Da Ye shook his two beautiful fingers. “Two.”
Chen Shaobai’s stomach churned as he ran to the side to vomit.
Du Shoushou said with a serious face: “Seems like that white-bearded old man is not that strict. If he is really that crazy, eating flies would be considered a better life.”
Chen Shaobai retched back, and fiercely glared at Da Da Ye. Ta Ta Ye said with a bit of grievance: “Why are you staring at me, there’s always someone who owes you debts …”
Chen Shaobai scoffed, “Why do I have to look at this? It is as if you are already sitting beside me as the mistress of this small courtyard.”
His wild face flushed red as he hid behind An Zheng.
Du Shoushou waved his hand: “Let’s talk about the practical things. When that old fellow said that An Zheng had suffered a bloodbath, he didn’t seem like he was joking. Although he did make a joke out of it later on, An Zheng and I could tell that he wanted to remind An Zheng of something. ”
Chen Shaobai sat up straight, and said with a solemn face: “Even though that old fellow is an abnormal person, he cooks in a big pot all day long for me … However, he did have true ability. Even now, I still don’t know his true identity, but I can tell that he seems to have some deep feelings for the Yancheng. He was still crying even before we reached the Yancheng. This person’s power is unfathomable and his ability to foresee is strong. He said that An Zheng told me about the blood light disaster before he … ”
He looked at An Zheng: “He said … Your fate is here. He also said, “Before, you went with the wind, but now, your luck is too good to be reasonable.” So, when your life is in danger, you will definitely be incomparably savage and cruel. ”
An Zheng said, “Fate tribulation? is it like when I was in the Mount Cang Man in my previous life? ”
Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai looked at each other, a little worried. Da Da Ye had already grabbed onto An Zheng’s clothes from behind, and was clenching his fists tightly.
“It’s nothing, no matter how dangerous it is, it’s just another Mount Cang Man. Furthermore, the current me is no longer the same as I was then. ”
He stood up and said, “I’ve already prepared everything that I can. I’ve thought of everything that I can think of. Thus, there was no need to worry. What was to come would eventually come, it was finally here … there’s no need to run away. ”
Du Shoushou laughed: “I’ll do it the same way.”
An Zheng said: “Compared to what my life is about, I am more worried about the people that came from the Da Xi era, it seems... Everyone will be drawn into the Martial Arts Conference not long after, and that convention might be everyone’s life. ”
At this point, the topic of conversation seemed to become heavy.
At the same time, a team appeared outside the Yancheng. The unusual thing was that this team did not come from the official road, but from the sky. There were about a dozen people, and all of them were riding high ranked demon beasts. The young man leading them had even reached a high level demon beast. It was a Six-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger. These people didn’t seem to be that old. The one leading them looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. The oldest among his men was only around 30 years old. The youngest one looked to be around 17 or 18 years old.
These cultivators were riding demon beasts as they swooped down from the sky. They were originally planning to charge directly into the city, but the guards on the city walls immediately reacted and all of the defensive weapons were turned towards them. The young man in the lead gestured, and the team landed outside the city gate.
The soldier at the gate asked, “Where did you come from? What are you doing in the city?”
A cute girl sat on the back of a Nine-Eyed Linglong Panther and replied with a smile, “We are cultivators from the Immortal Palace who came to train in the Mortal Realm. We have decided to rest here tonight for no other reason.”
Her words were polite, and did not have the domineering and fierce attitude of those from the immortal palace. The soldier at the city gate entrance acknowledged, “As long as you have no problems reporting this, Yancheng welcomes you.”
Another young cultivator who was riding a flying horse harrumphed, “Yancheng welcomes us … Could it be that if Yancheng does not welcome us, we will not be able to enter? ”
The young man in the lead glared at him, then smiled apologetically at the city guards. “I’m sorry, but my little brother haough temper. My name is Cheng Yisha, and this is my sister, Cheng Yanyun, and that’s my younger brother, Cheng Yanyun. The three of us came to the Mortal Realm to train under the orders of the elders of the family. We won’t disturb the order of the Mortal Realm.
The city guards earnestly registered for them, and then pointed towards the inside of the city gate. “Follow the main road. Luo Yi’s Lane Inn, which is around seven to eight hundred meters in length, is the biggest inn in Yancheng. After all of you have settled down, I will have to trouble you to send someone to the Yancheng to guard the yamen and report to them. ”
“Alright.”
Cheng Yisha cupped his fist and led the team through the city gate.
The soldiers on the bracelet looked at each other, and one of them said in a low voice, “Since these people from the immortal palace are so polite, something must be wrong. Immediately report it to the sect head, no matter what, I feel that these people are not friendly.”
“Yes.”
Someone quickly ran out towards the direction of the Bai Sheng Academy.
At the Loyal Lane Inn, Cheng Yisha and the others had reserved the entire second floor for the demonic beasts in the backyard. After hearing that the guests were all from the immortal palace, the other guests all checked out of their rooms. After hearing this, Cheng Yisha even specially sent people to find the owner of the inn, leaving behind a piece of Essence Crystal as compensation for disturbing the other guests and the inn’s losses. The owner did not dare to ask for anything, so the man left the Essence Crystal behind.
“Big brother, we are as polite as we are to some mortals.”
Cheng Yanyun was a chubby young man witeight of around 1.7m and a weight of at least 170m. He didn’t seem to understand why his elder brother maintained such a polite attitude towards everyone. In his eyes, mortals were mortals, Immortals were Immortals, and the hierarchy was strict. There was no need for immortals like them, who had descended from the immortal realms, to be so courteous to mortals.
“Where are we from?”
Cheng Yisha was a very gentle looking young man, with a slightly similar temperament to the First Senior Brother of the Congealed Eyes Pavilion, An Caichen. He had a faint scholarly air about him, and his sword-like eyebrows gave him a somewhat heroic air.
“Back then, didn’t all of the people in the Immortal Palace leave from here?”
Cheng Yisha put down the book in his hand, “Maybe the education we received from the very beginning was that we were a level higher than mortals. There was no need to care about the life or death of mortals. But we can’t do without our own thoughts, so why create this contradiction, and what good will it do us if it is created? ”
Cheng Yanyun somewhat angrily said, “Why are you thinking so much about a group of lowly mortals?”
Cheng Yisha shook his head with a smile, as if he didn’t want to explain anything.
“Big brother, have you considered what Cheng Luoxian said?”
The cute female Xiu Cheng Yan Ying looked at Cheng Yisha and asked, “If what she said is true, then although he is just a child of our Cheng Family’s outer division, at any rate, it concerns our Cheng Family’s face. We cannot let this matter rest.”
Cheng Yisha said, “Why else would we come? It’s just that you’re a little too impatient, you can’t listen to just one side of the story. You guys have seen that woman, Cheng Luoxian. Her eyes twinkled when she spoke, but she didn’t seem to be telling the truth. It is true that her brother died, and that An Zheng killed him. However, what she is thinking is not that the honor of the clan is inviolable, but that she wants to use us as blades. ”
Cheng Yisha paused for a moment before continuing, “Of course I won’t let those who touch the Cheng Family’s glory go. But I am not happy to be used as a knife. ”
Cheng Yanyun waved his hand, “That’s hard to say. First, kill An Zheng, then bring Cheng Luo Xian back to the clan and deal with him according to family rules.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“The Cheng family has always been under the control of Immortal Emperor Xuan-Yuan, and now that they are under the control of the Green Lotus Immortal Emperor, the Divine Court is suppressing the Immortal Teacher’s Estate in the mortal world. If we do not take this seriously, there iigh chance that the Cheng family will be implicated.”
He picked up the book and said, “Go back and rest. This matter is not urgent, we will investigate it properly.” Other than that, tell the people who went out to investigate not to have any conflicts with the people of Yancheng, and to lower your stance a little. ”
Cheng Yan Ying nodded: “We will remember everything big brother said.”
Cheng Yanyun didn’t seem to mind. “I just don’t understand why you’re being so careful, it’s just that it’s within the mortal world … …” For someone as timid as you, what can you possibly do? ”
He stood up and walked out, “I’m going back to sleep, I’m too lazy to think about this.”
After he left, Cheng Yisha looked at Cheng Yanying and said, “Keep an eye on Third Brother for me, don’t let him go out and cause trouble, during times like this …” The conflict between the Immortal Teacher’s Estate and Immortal Emperor Xuan-Yuan is one between the powers of the Immortal Emperor Xuan-Yuan and the Immortal Emperor Qing Lian. I will first go and meet An Zheng myself … In any case, if I want to kill someone, I will do it myself. ”
He closed his eyes and frowned.
“I don’t really care about a An Zheng. What I’m worried about is if an even bigger person comes out.”
