Chapter 87: What a Tragic Death (Please Subscribe)
Just as Chen Yi was gearing up to deliver a grand gift to Ye Lin, news about the Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom covering Longevity Bridge quickly reached the Jiangnan Prefecture.
The entire Jiangnan Prefecture was stirred by the news.
The Jiangnan Prefecture Governor Cheng Gongming immediately ordered messages to be sent in all directions.
Not only were messages sent to the Xuanjia Army stationed near Jiangnan Prefecture, but also through urgent channels to the court.
The main focus was to directly contact Left Minister Xie Jing and report the matter.
It was a landscape painting scroll, on the mountain there was a figure the size of a finger outlined with ink.
When Cheng Gongming covered the painting with his Vast Energy, he saw the figure move slightly, then its face turned from looking at the landscape to face him.
The expression was vivid, as if it were a real person.
"Gongming, what is so urgent?"
"Sir, a group of Evil Demons have come to Jiangnan Prefecture, intending to seize the Array Eye that you previously arranged—the corpse of the Drought Demon."
"I am not sure how much impact it would have on Jiangnan Prefecture if the array were to fail?"
Jiangnan Prefecture Governor Cheng Gongming is a disciple of Xie Jing, saying that he was personally promoted by Xie Jing is no exaggeration.
Thus, facing this Left Minister of the court, he spoke much more directly than other external officials.
"There's no impact."
The person in the painting revealed a smile, his voice was clear and youthful, more akin to a middle-aged scholar.
"You need not worry about the array, just focus on capturing those Evil Demons."
"Thank you, sir."
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Gongming saw that the person in the painting lost its spirit, and the head turned back to look at the mountains and waters.
He had a plan in mind, without further hesitation, he ordered to prepare horses, as he intended to oversee the battle personally.
The chaos caused by Evil Demons could either be minor or severe.
Previously, he thought of relying mainly on the Night Watch Department to nip these Evil Demons in the bud. Now, he could only try to salvage the situation.
Not mentioning Cheng Gongming's arrangements, at this moment, many more people in Jiangnan Prefecture city were heading to Longevity Bridge.
Some went to watch the battle, some thought about the great justice of chivalry, while others wondered if they could gain some benefits.
Inside the Youlai Inn.
Li Song noticed the commotion outside and had someone open a window. He had two rocking chairs brought over and watched the distant scene with the old physician next to him.
"How about it? I told you that the commotion outside the city would only get bigger and bigger, and there will inevitably be many Jianghu Guests needing medical attention later."
"Old Li, I've advised you long ago, don't just stay in your house studying medical books all day, occasionally look at the world too."
"Even if your medical skills are exquisite, aren't they used to save people? How can you manage your clinic if you don't come out and watch such big battles?"
The elderly man beside him had white hair and beard, his face didn't show age, radiant and rosy, his skin plump.
He squinted at Li Song and huffed: "Do you think everyone is like you, falling into the trap of money? After all, you are known in the Martial World, don't be so mercenary."
"If it were in the past, during such close battles, you would have been the first to charge forward. How come you are regressing as you age now?"
Li Song sipped his tea and said leisurely:
"What you say isn't right, there's a time for everything. I've retired from the Martial World already, why bother with these annoying matters? Isn't that going against the purpose of my retirement?"
"Besides, there are many rising talents in the Martial World at that place, I have great confidence in them against those Evil Demons."
"Oh? Tell me, who are these people?"
Li Song chuckled softly, recalling the several Sect Disciples who had recently visited the shop, feeling sentimental in his mind.
Great waves sift the sand, every generation produces talented individuals.
"Don't keep people in suspense," the old physician, irritated and glaring, said: "Be careful I might head back now and you won't earn a single bit."
"Look at you, why the hurry?"
Li Song took out two beautifully covered books from his bosom and handed them over.
"Here you go, the rising talents of the Martial World are all in here."
Of course, there were also many not listed in it.
For example, that young man from the Grand Void Sect – a Sword Cultivator who dares to draw his sword against a Fourth Grade Realm Great Cultivator, just thinking about it is terrifying.
...
Not mentioning the reactions inside Jiangnan Prefecture, in front of Chen Yi and Jiang Yunni, Ye Lin was already somewhat anxious.
Particularly upon seeing the Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom appearing around Longevity Bridge, his heart was even more infuriated, wishing he could thoroughly scold Xin Kehai.
He couldn't understand.
Joyful Buddha Le Lei was only a Body Cultivation practitioner, how could he occupy Xin Kehai's attention within the Heavenly Net Formation, making him neglectful of others.
"Xin Kehai, why haven't you included me in the Heavenly Net Formation?"
While Ye Lin was maneuvering the Yin Yang Blade to strike at Evil Bone Zhu Gang, he also drew the longsword from his waist, struggling to block his punches.
However, his Sword Dao was only at the Small Success Realm, not having realized his own Sword Intent, even with strong True Yuan, the power of his Sword Qi was limited.
He simply couldn't pose a threat to Zhu Gang, an Evil Demon of Body Cultivation.
"Yuhua Immortal Sect is nothing special."
Zhu Gang merely used one hand to face the incoming curved blades, charging straight towards Ye Lin, and could still block his Sword Qi with his other hand.
This showed how easily he was handling the battle against Ye Lin.
"Sect Leader Ye Ningxiu's son of Yuhua Immortal Sect, ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly Pride List, truly is a pushover."
Ye Lin clenched his teeth, a glimmer of loathing flashed across his delicate and beautiful face.
The thing he hated most in his life was others mentioning his father.
Often, they would dismiss all his efforts with just such a simple sentence.
It seemed like the entire world only remembered his father Ye Ningxiu and only knew about Sect Leader Ye of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
"Shut up!"
Ye Lin roared, as Spiritual Acupoints manifested around his body, his True Yuan flowing like luminescence throughout his limbs.
"Guiding the Immortal Essence, merging Heaven and Man!"
