Chapter 1567 The Untamed 47
Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying had a big fight and they hadn't spoken to each other for more than three days, or even seen each other.
Jiang Yanli quickly found the two parties involved to inquire about the situation. Wei Ying certainly couldn't tell Jiang Yanli, who was as close as a sister to him, that he had chosen a difficult path that Jiang Cheng didn't want him to take, and had let Jiang Cheng down.
It is even more impossible to say that part of his motivation was for the possibility of Jiang Cheng ascending to immortality, so he only said that he annoyed Jiang Cheng and let Jiang Cheng down, without saying the specific reason at all.
Seeing that she could not get any useful information from Wei Ying, Jiang Yanli turned to find Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng also couldn't tell Jiang Yanli that Wei Ying was no longer able to cultivate spiritual power, and could only cultivate with Yin energy, resentment, and hostility, and that destiny required him to communicate with the underworld. If he was lucky, he could become a Yin God, but if he was unlucky, he could only wait and see what his next life would be like.
However, he couldn't say nothing to Jiang Yanli, so he just talked about the resentment. "Ah Xian once had resentment in his body. I tried my best to help him get rid of it, but I didn't expect that now he would only care about sacrificing himself and start cultivating resentment all over again."
Jiang Yanli couldn't help but gasp after hearing this.
There are indeed people who use resentment to cultivate, and there was even a ready-made example two years ago - Wen Ruohan.
But Jiang Yanli didn't believe that Wen Ruohan's fate wouldn't serve as a warning to someone as smart and understanding as Wei Ying. Combined with Jiang Cheng's mention of "sacrifice," she had a lot of guesses. "So, was Ah Xian trying to completely suppress the Yin Iron, or was there some other reason?"
Jiang Cheng was speechless, and only vowed in his heart again to make this world look bad.
However, since Wei Ying had encountered such a big problem, it was not convenient for him to visit the Cloud Recesses. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had not yet agreed with Lan Huan on the specific time for the visit.
Lan Zhan didn't feel wronged, but Jiang Cheng felt somewhat guilty. Lan Zhan felt that there was nothing wrong in letting Jiang Cheng think more about him, so he accepted this "grievance".
However, the Jin family still had the intention to destroy the Jiang family. Jin Guangshan even instructed people to spread rumors secretly, saying that the Yunmeng Jiang family allowed their disciple Wei Ying to use Yin Iron for cultivation, and wanted to follow Wen Ruohan's path to unify the world.
Not many people believed these rumors at first, but the Jin family had bribed people from the Lan family. So when a disciple of the Lan family told the news that all the Yin Iron had been taken away by the Jiang family, those who didn't believe it at first began to panic.
Jin Guangshan bypassed the Immortal Supervisor and directly gathered people in Qiongqi Road, asking the Jiang family to give an answer that would satisfy the people of the world. In particular, they asked the Jiang family to hand over the Yin Iron and hand it over to other capable families for safekeeping, and to punish Wei Ying who fell into the ghost path.
Everyone in the Jiang family was worried. Jiang Cheng had not yet thought of a way to fight back. Wei Ying stood up righteously and said that he could break away from the Jiang family and become independent in order to preserve the reputation of the Jiang family.
Jiang Cheng was so angry that he slapped Wei Ying in the face. "I am the Patriarch of Lotus Pier and the head of the Jiang family. In Yunmeng, how dare you give me orders?!"
Jiang Cheng turned to the room full of elders and hall masters and said, "Jin Guangshan has evil ambitions. He's targeting our Yunmeng Jiang Clan simply because they're so powerful. He's also eyeing the position of Immortal Overlord, so of course he wants to eliminate us, the troublemakers."
"The Yin Iron is a matter of great importance. I'm not afraid to tell you all that, while it does have the wonderful ability to absorb and store various Qi, it's ultimately just a token of communication with the underworld. Wei Ying has also received a revelation from the Heavenly Dao that he will be the great benefactor who will carry the Yin Iron to communicate with the underworld in the future."
"Not to mention that Wei Ying is a disciple of my Lotus Pier, just considering such a great merit, it is impossible for the Lotus Pier not to get a share of the profits and instead push it to others."
After all, Jiang Cheng's prestige was high enough, and everyone in the Lotus Pier was easily appeased. They all unanimously decided to teach the Jin family a lesson, and turned around to go out and complete the work of identifying the sects in the Yunmeng area.
Lan Zhan offered a suggestion: "Since Wei Ying will definitely be the one to communicate with the underworld, why don't we ignore Jin's little tricks and directly help Wei Ying complete this task?"
Wei Ying was finally able to speak, clapping his hands in agreement: "This is good, this is good!"
"I suggest we choose the Yiling mass grave as the location. This way, perhaps the negative energy and resentment within the mass grave can be completely purified!"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and objected directly: "Communicating with the underworld is no small matter. God knows what price Wei Ying will have to pay for it."
"I haven't officially become a Taoist couple yet, and there's no sign of the child. There's no rush to send Wei Ying to the mass grave."
Wei Ying still smiled: "That's okay, it's pretty much the same as our original plan."
Thinking of Jin Guangshan, who was becoming increasingly unconcealed about his attitude, Wei Ying couldn't help but have a sinister look on his face. "But Jin Guangshan is coming with such force, I'm afraid he won't give us that much time."
Jiang Cheng was waiting for news from Jinlingtai's spies. He wouldn't act rashly until he had enough information. "Jin Guangshan has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. We have the Yin Iron in our hands, and we can't possibly hand it over. So, the best thing to do is to make Jin Guangshan quiet down."
Meng Yao, who had hurried back from Yiling, came up with a plan after learning the details. "Why don't we first expose the origins of Qin Su, the only daughter of Sect Master Qin? This way, not only will Jin Guangshan's character be questioned, but his influence will also be weakened. He probably won't have time to look for trouble with us."
Before the news of Miss Qin Su's life story spread, Mr. Lan Qiren of the Cloud Recesses came forward to vouch for Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng, saying that the Yin Iron was purified before his eyes and no longer absorbed resentment and hostility, but only spiritual energy. It was no longer an evil thing, but a rare immortal weapon.
Lan Qiren was very honored, so Jiang Cheng decided to go to the Cloud Recesses in person to express his gratitude and to formally visit Lan Zhan's parents.
Wei Ying was still implicated by the Yin Iron, so he could only stay in the Lotus Pier with regret. When Jiang Cheng entered the Cloud Recesses with gifts, the news that Qin Su, the only lady of the Qin clan leader's family and Jin Guangshan's right-hand man, was actually Jin Guangshan's illegitimate daughter spread throughout the hundreds of immortal families.
The spies in Jinlintai also brought back to Lianhuawu the news that the Jin family had run an underground arena for who knows how many generations. By the way, they also got evidence that Jin Guangshan was sheltering Xue Yang, secretly imitating Yin Iron, and even using living people to experiment with the imitation Yin Iron.
In Lan Zhan's humble residence in the Cloud Recesses, Jiang Cheng received the news that Jiang had secretly sent to him. He couldn't help but snort coldly and began to imagine Jin Guangshan's death.
Lan Zhan was also worried about the Jiang family's situation, even though Jiang Cheng didn't seem worried at all. He was even in the mood to visit the Lan family's elders to discuss their marriage.
