Chapter 1137 - 905: All Because of Shi Hu (2)
So it grasped the Communication Stone, pondering how to casually reveal earth-shattering news.
On the other side, Jiang Yuan felt a bit uneasy after his reminders, "Do you think you can handle it?"
After thinking it over, he ultimately decided to entrust the task of beating up others to Yan Xuan.
Firstly, its strength is formidable and its temper is fierce, holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle no one dares mess with it; secondly, the most important thing—it’s the only contract pet that can be managed at any time via collar.
No matter where he is, he can directly control it through the collar, preventing it from wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle freely.
The only concern was that Yan Xuan’s strength might be too much, he had to make sure it holds back, even if it’s a light beating, don’t beat anyone half to death.
"Thank you, master, for believing in me, I promise to complete the task perfectly!" Yan Xuan excitedly grasped the Demon-Subduing Pestle, its feathers on its head fluffed up, saying to itself finally it’s my turn to use this Supreme Divine Artifact to hit others, hahaha!
Thinking back to when it was still in the adjustment period with its master, it got hit quite a bit by this pestle.
But after the beatings, as its temper subsided, it gradually realized its master had a point, slowly following the guidance towards the right path.
Therefore, it had both fear and respect for the Demon-Subduing Pestle, after weighing the pestle in its claws, it chuckled, "Having been beaten quite a few times before, I roughly know how to judge, just practice with Du Li, soon I can master the skill, master can rest assured!"
Jiang Yuan nodded and went on to remind Hu Zhile a few times, then transported to Yunmeng Mountain.
Who knows how long it will take to rescue Shi Hu and claim that Ghost Realm. But he wanted to seize this opportunity for Yan Xuan to practice more, then once this matter is over, when exploring the Void, it can help He Miancun, Du Li dispel Heart Demons at home.
Even if he goes to the Void for a month or two, he doesn’t need to rush back.
"This place is Lord’s residence—Yunmeng Mountain Holy Land, who comes here?" Just after landing, he heard a loud voice asking, and then two guards in armor holding long spears emerged from a whirlwind.
Glancing at the system’s identification details, indeed, they were Sang Lishan’s subordinates.
But being able to transport to the grassland closest to Yunmeng Mountain, clearly the distance to mountains is still far, only vaguely seeing the snowy peaks of the range in the twilight.
"My last name is Jiang, introduced by Miss Sang Qi, here to visit Lord Sang." Jiang Yuan handed over the waist badge Miss Qi had given him.
This was still when leading Hou Ze to promote Fire Stones, for convenience, Miss Qi had given this, now it proves useful.
One guard took the badge and checked its authenticity, then saluted, "Please Daoist You wait here, I will report."
After waiting for about one and a half hours, the guard returned, handed back the badge, and gestured a "please", "Recently there are important matters at the Lord’s Mansion, all restrictions are open, so sword flight is not allowed, please Daoist You walk to the mansion with me."
No wonder it took so long, turns out they have to walk such a distance!
Jiang Yuan obliged, following the guard leisurely towards the East, the closer they got to the Lord’s Mansion, the more he could feel the tense, oppressive atmosphere.
Along the way, groups of Demon Cultivators with serious expressions hurriedly moved, who knows what they were up to, they disappeared after exchanging glances.
From afar, seeing the massive mansion located at the foot of the mountain, although brightly lit, there were few people in sight, highlighting the hurrying groups on the vast grassland even more.
"I heard from Miss Qi earlier about the Mid-Autumn Festival preparation, busy as can be. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, did they open the restrictions at Lord’s Mansion for this reason, prohibiting flight?" He casually asked, though pondering the scene had no festive atmosphere, could it be that the White Tiger trespassed into the Ghost Realm causing trouble?
The guard replied emotionlessly, "I’m not aware of the reason. But indeed, quite a few Mountain Masters have been invited in recent days, Daoist You will know upon arriving at the mansion."
Mid-Autumn is usually for family reunions, Miss Qi had mentioned how everyone in the family regularly has affairs to attend to, it’s usually just once a year they can gather for a family feast.
If it’s a family feast, why invite other Mountain Masters?
Carrying these doubts, Jiang Yuan followed the guard straight to the Lord’s Mansion, and at the gate, two differently dressed guards exchanged duties, then he followed another guard from the mansion into the vast palatial areas.
What sword flight could achieve in just over ten minutes, had to be walked with two legs nearly two hours to finally reach the destination—the flower hall amidst the palace gardens.
"I have long heard of Daoist You’s great reputation, seeing you today certainly lives up to the name." A young man in a scarlet robe stepped forward, introduced himself, "My name is Sang Chuanlu, Xiao Qi’s fourth brother.
Heard from Xiao Qi that Daoist You excels in Alchemy Technique and is passionate about Shennong’s methods, the Spirit Fruit cultivated is of superb quality, endlessly delicious; the Elixirs produced are all Upper Grade, truly a dragon among men."
He bore some resemblance to Sang Lishan and Miss Qi, but his somewhat feminine demeanor lent a slightly soft quality to it, his cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, quite strong.
Jiang Yuan returned the courtesy, exchanged pleasantries, took a seat, and inquired, "Asking Miss Qi about some matters some time ago, yet no response, assumed she was busy with Mid-Autumn Festival. Visiting the Lord’s Mansion today hoping to discuss important matters with Lord Sang, might there be a possibility?"
"Unfortunately, my eldest brother is overwhelmed, he had me come over to oversee things at the Lord’s Mansion." Sang Chuanlu smiled while offering aromatic tea, shook his head saying, "My little sister isn’t busy with the festival neglecting to reply, she’s also been commandeered by my eldest brother, hasn’t been seen for almost two months now.
