That's What Villains Are Like

"The Demon Saint is dead, and there is going to be a big earthquake in Dongyuan Province..."

"All the immortal sects in Dongyuan Prefecture have joined forces to prevent Jiang Lan, the saint of Taiyi Sect, from crossing the tribulation. This matter will be liquidated by Taiyi Sect. Now all the ethnic groups in Dongyuan Prefecture are in danger."

"Without the Demon Saint, Dongyuan Prefecture will have to be controlled by the Taiyi Sect. Haven't you seen that many orthodox traditions in Zhongtian Prefecture have been destroyed in the past few days?"

"Yes, even the Yi Jian Sect and the Dao Dao Ancient Sect were disbanded. The thousands of years of ancient immortal sects collapsed overnight. This is the result of being on the wrong team."

"Well, I heard that Taiyi Sect will unite all the immortal sects to establish the Immortal Alliance. Sage Li Ran will be the first alliance leader and preside over the overall situation. I just don't know if it will be good for us casual cultivators."

"Don't think about it. How can we low-level monks take advantage of it? This Immortal Alliance was probably formed to annex Dongyuan State."

Three full days have passed since the shocking melee outside the capital of Daxia ended, but the various aftermaths that followed are still fermenting, and the various sensations caused are still triggering heated discussions and reactions in all areas. .

At this time, in Zhongtian Prefecture, a small town, in a tavern by the window, several casual practitioners were sitting together, drinking and chatting about various major events that had happened recently.

A young man in a white robe sat here quietly, with some side dishes placed in front of him to go with wine, while listening to the various comments coming from around him, his face remained calm.

In front of him, there were several men who were dressed casually and looked like casual cultivators.

"The Demon Saint is actually dead..."

"This is something I never expected. I felt that something was weird at the time and had already warned him, but he refused to listen and insisted on taking action."

"This Taiyi Sect's Li Sheng is more ruthless and ambitious than the original Taiyi Sect's founder, but Jiang Lan is by no means a light-hearted person. He uses his own body as a decoy. This kind of courage is not something that everyone can achieve. "

The young man in white robe took a sip of wine, his face was dull, but there was a hint of helplessness deep in his eyes.

Once the Demon Saint dies, Dongyuan Prefecture will inevitably be in chaos. Now, even without Tai Yimen taking action, Dongyuan Prefecture is already in civil strife.

Zhenwu Kingdom, without the ancient Emperor Zhenwu, was attacked by various forces and suffered heavy losses. Many strongholds and mineral veins were robbed.

In this melee, the other Immortal Sect Holy Lands, such as the Yinxu Holy Land, the Wangyue Ancient Sect, and the Chongming Demon Sect, suffered heavy losses. In the past few days, they have been preparing to deal with the next attack from the Taiyi Sect. Everyone Feeling in danger, many elders and disciples have secretly taken away the sect's secrets and fled.

He had already foreseen the coming situation.

The Taiyi Sect is too sharp, so you can only avoid it, not attack it.

The woman in white who appeared in the battle this time was even more incredible in strength. She was definitely in the realm of a saint.

Her position is irrelevant. Judging from the ambiguous relationship between her and Jiang Lan, if a war breaks out, she will definitely side with Jiang Lan.

In other words, Taiyi Sect already has two saint-level beings in charge.

Such a grand occasion is unprecedented and has never happened before.

Therefore, the Taiyi Sect took advantage of the situation and announced that it would establish an Immortal Alliance to coordinate all the Immortal Sects in Kyushu.

This is the general trend of the world, and no one can stop it. Places such as Xiling Prefecture, Nanhuang Prefecture, Nanmo Prefecture, Beihai Land, etc. can only choose to wait and see what happens, not daring to confront Taiyi Sect.

"Jiang Lan has broken into the eighth realm. Judging from the power of this disaster, it is probably difficult to find an opponent among the saints."

"I have hunted geese all my life, but I never thought that I would be pecked in the eye by a wild goose. Then Ye Ming is probably the scapegoat and scapegoat he pushed out..."

The young man in white robe was Xue Wuchen. His eyes were gloomy, but he could only endure it and did not dare to go to Jiang Lan to settle the score.

He has kept a low profile in the past few days, unlike before when he continued to blatantly send people to intercept and kill the geniuses with special physiques that he needed in Zhongtian State.

There is no saint in the Blood Immortal Sect, and when it was in its heyday, it did not dare to compete with the current Taiyi Sect.

Not to mention that his cultivation level has not been restored, and he is currently only at the seventh level.

This was because he was practicing the Blood Forbidden Code, and had been sending people to intercept and kill various geniuses, absorb their essence and blood, and refine them for his own use.

He simply couldn't figure out how Jiang Lan practiced and how he could be faster than him.

According to Xue Wuchen's own estimation, even if he condenses the Holy Spirit Embryo and wants to break through to the Eighth Realm, it will take at least a year and a half. This will still mean that he will undergo great changes in the world and all kinds of blessings will appear. circumstances that are included in the calculation.

If there is no great change in the world, even if he is given three years, he may not be able to break into the Eighth Realm.

Among ordinary monks, who didn’t rely on hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation to reach the bridge-robbing realm?

Jiang Lan is simply a monster and a freak that cannot be treated by common sense. Even the classics dare not record it like this.

"Even if I don't offend him, I'm afraid he already knows about my existence."

"Back in Dongyuan Prefecture, we shouldn't have let Song Youwei go..." Xue Wuchen looked gloomy, but facing the current situation, he could only sigh in his heart.

Jiang Lan has become a hero, and it is impossible to deal with him just by relying on his own strength.

"Only by uniting vertically and horizontally, and uniting all parties, can we have a chance of survival..." Xue Wuchen fell into thought and began to consider who he could unite with.

At the same time, in the imperial capital of Daxia, in the backyard of the palace, there was a quiet house with high walls, green tiles, and willow trees.

Jiang Lan wore a plain white coat and sat quietly on the bed. In front of him were a tea table, teapot and other tea sets made of sandalwood. The fragrance of tea filled the air and was refreshing.

His lower body was wrapped in a thick silk quilt, and a small stove was lit beside him. The charcoal fire crackled in the middle, emitting warm heat.

Beside him, a quiet aura lingered, accompanied by bursts of pleasant fragrance. Li Mengning sat cross-legged in silence, with silky black hair hanging down to her waist. Her slender and soft hands were closed, covering one of his hands, and would stretch out from time to time. A delicate little hand was warmed by the small stove, and then it was withdrawn, trying to bring the heat to him, over and over again, tirelessly.

Jiang Lan's black hair was held up simply and casually, his clothes were as plain as snow, and his complexion was also very plain, as if there was no color left.

"It's going to snow soon, and it's already winter in a blink of an eye..."

He said softly, listening to the sound of snow falling outside the window.

"Is it cold..." Li Mengning asked quietly from the side.

"I am a powerful person in the eighth realm now, how can I be cold?" Jiang Lan smiled.

"But your hands are very cold." Li Mengning stared at him.

"That's because your hands are too warm..."

With a gentle smile on her lips, Jiang Lan stretched out her other hand and pinched her fair face full of collagen. Li Mengning's head shrank slightly, as if she was afraid of the cold.

"This hand must also be covered..."

Then, she quickly snatched his hand back and covered it in her small and slender palm.

This room is not big, but it is filled with all kinds of delicious fragrances, like a cluster of flowers, and it is so beautiful.

Seeing such intimate behavior between Li Mengning and Jiang Lan, someone soon made a dissatisfied sound from their noses, and then led several palace maids away.

"Is this the backlash of the failure of the last Earth Tribulation?" Tantai Qing glanced at the departing Emperor Xia, frowning.

After the war ended that day, Jiang Lan fell into a coma after returning to the imperial capital, and did not wake up until this morning.

During this period, Li Sheng also came to see it, and various imperial doctors of Daxia, including Jiang Lan's old friend, Xiao Yingyue, the supreme elder of Yaowang Valley, also came to see it, and they all thought that this was because Jiang Lan was at the end of the Tribulation of the Earth. The backlash suffered during the calamity.

At present, the symptoms are not obvious, and they only show chills and blood loss. For an eighth-level monk, this is simply unbelievable.

The eight realms of great power can burn mountains and boil seas with just a single movement of their hands and feet, possessing all kinds of incredible power.

Chills, unless they are infected by some kind of law of heaven and earth, cannot be cured by means...

"There is always a price to pay for everything. Compared with this backlash, I think the gain this time is actually greater." Jiang Lan looked casual and didn't seem to care much.

Tantai Qing stared at him closely, as if to make sure he was fooling people again, but even Li Sheng had checked it, so there shouldn't be anything fake.

"Anyway, you are now invincible to the saints. I am worried about what you will do..." She also hopes that Jiang Lan will become the Supreme in the future, or even surpass the Supreme. In this way, her road to the Holy Realm will be smoother. .

"Invincible under the saint?"

Jiang Lan smiled, but did not comment on this statement.

Tantai Qing did not stay any longer. There were still many people here, and it was not convenient to say many things directly to Jiang Lan.

"Then Jiang Lan, you have a good rest."

Ling Zhuyun, the saint of the Yaochi Sect, was also here. Her bright eyes paused on Li Mengning's face for a moment, then she whispered, and then followed Tantai Qing and left here.

This time, various immortal sects and sects in Dongyuan Prefecture came to block the way, and there were many forces assisting Taiyi Sect. Among them were the Yaochi Sect, Qingxu Sect, Shengyi Sect, Goddess Palace and other immortal sects and sects.

After the formation of the Immortal Alliance, the status and power of these Immortal Sects will also increase.

Next, the Immortal Sect headed by Etaiyi Sect will unite with Yaochi Sect, Qingxu Sect and other forces to recruit the Eastern Expedition Army to attack Dongyuan Prefecture.

As a saint of the Yaochi Sect, Ling Zhuyun still has many things to do.

"Three days seems not enough..."

After Ling Zhuyun and the other girls left, Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Hearing this, Li Mengning glanced sideways at him with some confusion.

"I mean, three days is not enough to calm down the consequences of this matter." Jiang Lan smiled and explained.

"You need to have a good rest..." Li Mengning nodded and warned seriously.

"You should go and have a good rest. You are the only one who is stupid and waits for me to wake up by the bed without eating or drinking." Jiang Lan held her two Rouyi in his hands with his backhand.

"I am a monk, I don't need to eat or drink..." Li Mengning explained seriously.

"Monks are also made of flesh and blood, and they should rest when they should." Jiang Lan said warmly.

Li Mengning nodded, but thought of something, hesitated a little, and whispered, "Jiang Rushian, she hasn't left yet..."

"I know that only she and I can resolve the matter between her and me, and no one else can interfere," Jiang Lan said.

Jiang Ruxian would appear when he was going through the tribulation, which was always what he expected.

Even if there is no Jiang Rushian, the Demon Saint of Dongyuan Province will definitely die as long as he dares to show up. Jiang Rushian can only be said to be his last insurance when planning this game.

In short, the current result is just as he expected, the nine states are unified and the world is peaceful, at least on the surface it is like this.

After this incident, Hulongshan in Daxia no longer dared to show up, and the other major states could only lie dormant.

The situation in Kyushu has become clear and everything is under control.

Jiang Lan also successfully broke into the Eighth Realm and entered the ranks of powerful people. In a true sense, he could walk across the land of Kyushu.

As for the failure of the last stage of the Earth Tribulation, he actually did it deliberately, and he could clearly see the gains and losses involved.

If all the cause and effect were cut off in the last calamity, it would mean that he planned to completely break up with Jiang Rushian.

But this has never been Jiang Lan's original intention. He is not a good person. He is interested in both luck and people. A sharp knife will not hurt the flesh, but a dull knife will hurt the heart.

"At the eighth level, the strength has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes."

"The Path and Fruit of Fate, the Path and Fruit of Year, and the Path and Fruit of World have also drawn many benefits."

"I have more confidence to plan the next four-dimensional star field."

After Li Mengning left, Jiang Lan carefully sorted out the benefits obtained this time. Not to mention the changes in cultivation strength, the increase in luck alone was unimaginable before.

During this Eighth Realm Heavenly Tribulation, his power and reputation reached an unprecedented peak.

In such a general trend of heaven and earth, we can naturally gain more support from people's hearts and luck.

Not long after Li Mengning left, a figure silently appeared in the house.

Jiang Lan was adding coal to the small red clay stove. This figure came in, took the tongs from his hand, and then slowly added pieces of coal into it, feeling the warmth emanating from it. A faint smile appeared on her flawless and perfect face.

"Your symptoms of chills should be caused by the erosion of the rules of heaven and earth into your body. If you find the true essence of Yangyan and refine the Yangyan energy, you should be able to use this part of the rules of heaven and earth for your own use." Jiang Ruxian Standing quietly, he spoke softly.

"This is just a small problem, it has no impact on me." Jiang Lan picked up the teapot and poured the teacup in front of him.

"Ever since I left Feixian Island, I wanted to look for Meng Ze, because beside Meng Ze, there grows the Asking Heart Flower, which has nine petals and can be used to detect true feelings..." Jiang Ruxian said softly.

"Then have you found it?" Jiang Lan asked.

Jiang Ruxian shook his head and said, "No, I returned to the land of Jiuzhou again. I thought you didn't want to see me, so I didn't come to see you."

Jiang Lan chuckled and said, "In the end you came anyway."

"I didn't know you and Li Ran set up this trap..." Jiang Rushian explained.

"It actually doesn't make much sense to say this. You don't have to think that my failure to survive the disaster is because of you, and you don't have to feel guilty about it."

"I really couldn't do anything to you during the Earthly Tribulation, because I never hated you at that time..." Jiang Lan waved his hand, and then handed the cup of tea in front of her.

Jiang Ruxian did not take the tea, but just looked at him, her eyes trembling slightly, and then she gently pursed her lips.

"I understand." She said softly.

"I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. Although I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, your appearance this time blocked the Demon Saint and shattered his weapon, which really helped me a lot."

"I will return this favor to you." Jiang Lan said calmly.

"Do you want to distinguish it so clearly?" Jiang Rushian asked.

"I don't like to owe favors." Jiang Lan's eyes remained calm and unruffled.

"All right……"

Jiang Ruxian does not expect that Jiang Lan and her will "resolve their old feud" and get back on good terms because of this incident.

Although she did not find Questioning Heart Flower, experiencing this earthly calamity allowed her to see clearly Jiang Lan's true intentions.

At least now Jiang Lan is not as disgusted and resistant to her as before.

"You have a good rest, I won't disturb you anymore."

Jiang Ruxian left the room quietly, and when he reappeared, he was already in a palace not far away.

"Jiang Rushian, what are you doing here?"

Emperor Xia was meditating on the bed, trying to calm his somewhat irritable mind.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall, and her phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, with a cold light shining in them.

Jiang Ruxian stared at Emperor Xia. Although his eyes were calm, Emperor Xia couldn't help but feel nervous and wary when he thought of her ability to crush the holy weapons.

"It seems that the method I left on you is still effective." Jiang Rushian said calmly.

It was okay not to listen to this, but when he heard this, Emperor Xia immediately became angry. He clenched his silver teeth, and endless dragon energy sprayed around her. He floated around her in an instant, like golden dragons protecting his body, looking mighty and domineering. Extremely.

However, Jiang Ruxian just looked at her and suppressed her from moving. Even Xia Yujian beside her made a clanging sound and was suppressed and fell to the ground.

"What do you want to do to me?" Although Emperor Xia's momentum was suppressed, he refused to show weakness and looked at Jiang Rushian coldly.

"Didn't you always want me to help you untie it?" Jiang Rushian said calmly.

Emperor Xia said coldly, "This is a humiliation I have never experienced before. Sooner or later, I will pay you back in full."

"As you wish."

Jiang Ruxian's tone seemed very casual and he didn't really care.

Just by raising his hand, Emperor Xia felt that the invisible chains on his body broke with a snap, and seemed to turn into invisible powder, scattering into the air.

After doing all this, Jiang Rushian ignored Emperor Xia's surprised, confused and angry eyes and walked out of the palace.

"Jiang Rushian, what do you mean?" Emperor Xia asked coldly.

"It's impossible for me to kill all the women around him. Instead of making him unhappy, it's better to be calm and direct."

"As the Emperor of Xia, you probably don't want to be surrounded by a group of warblers around your married husband, right?" The moment Jiang Rushian stepped out of the palace door, she seemed to smile lightly.

There are some issues today, I need to sort them out later.
