The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared with full disdain at the crazed Pill King Gu He lying on the ground and said coldly: “It was your left hand that pointed at my master.
Today I take your arm; next time, it will be your head!”
Gu He’s face was pale, and he was also shocked by the aura on the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
He immediately widened his eyes, “This shocking intimidating power, and those purple flames…
you are…
the sixth-rank magical beast…
Amethyst Winged Lion King…”
The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly: “Since you know this king, then get lost quickly!”
Gu He’s gaze shifted to Jiang Cheng.
When the Amethyst Winged Lion King tore off his arm, this person hadn’t even blinked.
This meant he had tacitly approved of everything.
“Who exactly are you…”
“I told you, you are not qualified.
If not for the face of the Yun Lan Sect Sect Leader Yun Yun, my master would have destroyed you long ago.”
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stomped fiercely on Gu He’s face and rubbed it hard.
Gu He was so smoked he couldn’t open his eyes and could only plead with Yun Yun to help him.
“Sect Leader Yun, save me!”
Yun Yun instinctively wanted to draw her sword, but she was pressed down by a large hand.
Jiang Cheng gently ran his hand across Yun Yun’s exquisite face, clearing the peach blossom leaves from her hair, and said softly: “If you take action today, the nature of the situation will truly be different.”
“This time I give you face and didn’t kill him, but next time, I can’t guarantee I’ll have such a good temper.”
“Though I am a Confucian Sage, I am not weak; I only convince people with reason and base it on proof, not on fighting and killing.”
Yun Yun silently let go.
She blamed everything on Gu He’s own doing; she had already told him the facts.
Yet he not only didn’t listen but also repeatedly insulted the Sir.
Even if such a person died, she probably couldn’t say a word.
But no matter what, Gu He was an elder of the Yun Lan Sect and a Tier 6 alchemist.
For him to die like this in front of the Sect Leader, Yun Yun couldn’t do it.
“Mr.
Huo, could you…”
Yun Yun bit her lip, somewhat unsure how to excuse Gu He’s responsibility.
Gu He had already lost an arm; he could only use his right hand to refine pills for the rest of his life.
This was already the greatest punishment for him.
With the tacit approval in Jiang Cheng’s eyes, he kicked Gu He off the mountain with some boredom.
As for whether he lived or died, it was all up to heaven.
“Thank you, Sir.” Yun Yun bowed in gratitude.
“Miss Yun Yun, in the future, you should continue to stay here to cultivate.
Gu He will definitely inform Yun Shan about this, and Yun Shan will not let it slide just like that.
If you go back now, it will also cause unnecessary trouble.”
Jiang Cheng took a sip of hot tea, turned calmly, and walked toward his room.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King also vanished; he had to ensure these cunning people completely left Peach Forest Mountain.
Yun Yun placed her hands in front of her chest, her pitiful gaze staying on the Sir’s room.
Her whole body went soft until she sat on a stone chair.
Her flawless white legs were revealed as her robe fluttered; if Gu He had seen this, he would have definitely lost three pounds of blood from his nose.
Jiang Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, sensing the violent Dou Qi in his body, and the system’s voice sounded.
[Primary task initiated: The host is already a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
The system issues a special instruction: go to the depths of the Tager Desert to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Reward: the cultivation method that can infinitely fuse Heavenly Flames, Flame Mantra.]
A mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Cheng’s mind.
Hearing that he was being sent to the depths of the Tager Desert, his expression also froze.
He immediately widened his eyes and said with a bit of anger: “System, you’re pulling my leg!
Sending me to the Tager Desert—when you sent me there last time, do you remember I almost died there?…”
Eight years ago, when Jiang Cheng was still a Dou Wang, he received a task from the system: to gain the favor of the snake-people tribe powerhouse, Queen Medusa.
But this woman was immovable by both soft and hard methods, and he had almost died at her hands.
Now, although he was no longer afraid of Queen Medusa, there was still a psychological shadow, especially the hot weather of the Tager Desert.
If it were someone else, they would probably be unable to resist breaking up with the system.
[Please complete the task assigned by the system.
Once the task fails, the system will throw a small tantrum and will not issue any tasks to the host for three years.]
Jiang Cheng: “???”
A small tantrum…
Who doesn’t have a small tantrum!
Jiang Cheng almost couldn’t contain his emotions and cursed.
“Fine, but I won’t go to the snake-people tribe first; I have to go see an old friend.”
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, maintaining his best mood.
He couldn’t let the damn system control him!
If you tell me to go east, I’ll go west!
If you tell me to hit a dog, I’ll hit a chicken!
[Task countdown: thirty days.]
Jiang Cheng shrugged; thirty days was more than enough.
With his speed in tearing space, it shouldn’t take long to get to the depths of the Tager Desert.
“Xiao Yixian.”
As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Yixian’s gentle voice sounded from outside the door: “Sir, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Cheng opened the door and looked at Xiao Yixian, who was wearing her nightgown, and said softly:
“I am leaving here for a while.
You and Xiao Huo stay here and continue your cultivation.
If the people from the Yun Lan Sect come to your door, it’s up to your own decision whether to kill or let them stay, all according to your heart.”
“But Sister Yun Yun, she…”
At this time, Yun Yun was still looking at the small boat in a daze, completely unaware that Jiang Cheng was watching her.
“Yun Yun probably has her own thoughts; just do as I say.
If something happens, crush this jade piece, and I will sense it.”
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng took a jade piece containing his Dou Qi from his storage ring.
This jade piece could not only give him a hint but also use the Dou Qi inside to form a protective shield.
Even a Dou Zun powerhouse would have no chance of breaking it in a short time.
Xiao Yixian nodded obediently, “Mhm, I understand, Sir.
You should go quickly and don’t let your schedule be delayed.”
Jiang Cheng rubbed Xiao Yixian’s head, took another look at Yun Yun, then tore open space and stepped through.
Only after Jiang Cheng had left did Yun Yun react from her daze.
Looking at the empty mountain peak, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
As if something were missing…
Xiao Yixian walked over and gently held Yun Yun’s small hand, saying: “Sister Yun Yun, the Sir actually cares about you a bit.”
“Cares about me…” Yun Yun’s pretty face turned red, and her eyes dodged slightly as she said: “Why would he care about me…
I…
every time I make the Sir feel discouraged…”
Jiang Cheng had invited Yun Yun several times to cultivate with him, but Yun Yun was always thinking about her sect and had refused every time.
