Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1528 The Untamed 8

After getting the Yin Iron fragment from Tanzhou, the next destination is Mount Dafan.

Jiang Cheng felt that the Dafan Mountain sounded familiar, so he asked Wei Ying: "I feel like I've heard of the Dafan Mountain before, what do you think?"

Wei Ying thought about it carefully and denied it, "Ah Cheng, you must have remembered it wrongly. When did we hear about Dafan Mountain?"

Lan Zhan listened to the simple conversation between Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Yes, Jiang Cheng has known Wei Ying for more than ten years. I even heard that they slept in the same room when they were young, and only lived in separate courtyards when they grew up. The two of them are so close that they almost wear the same pair of pants. No wonder Wei Ying himself has never heard of the place called Dafan Mountain, and he can conclude that Jiang Cheng has never heard of it either.

Jiang Cheng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In order not to make Wei Ying worry, he quickly skipped the topic: "It seems that Dafan Mountain is close to the Wen Clan of Qishan. We have to be careful. Someone has been following us all the way."

In fact, on the day they left Tanzhou, everyone felt that someone was following them, so they didn't even plan to send a message to Nie Huaisang.

Wei Ying's expression suddenly turned ugly. "The Wen Clan is still haunting us. Could it be that they are using the Yin Iron fragment from Tanzhou as bait and are waiting for us to gather all of it so that they can snatch it from us?"

Jiang Cheng also became more serious, "It's not impossible for the Wen Clan to do such a thing."

Lan Zhan could only calm everyone down: "The Lan family's Soul Locking Bag can hide all traces. Perhaps the Wen family doesn't even know whether we have Yin Iron or not."

Jiang Cheng asked the waiter to prepare a few more days of food and pack them up. He lowered his voice and said to Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, "Traveling on a flying sword is a good idea, but it's a bit too high-profile for the Wen clan's owl. Why don't we follow the mortal escort team? This way, we can cover up our aura very well."

Jiang Cheng was not making this up, he just overheard a conversation between a group of escorts downstairs and roughly judged that they were going to the same place as them, so there was no problem for him to pretend to be an ordinary scholar who came out to study.

Wei Ying found it interesting and agreed without hesitation. Lan Zhan had no objection either, so Wei Ying went downstairs to negotiate with the group of escorts. Perhaps because everyone paid more, the escort leader agreed to take them all the way.

The trio followed the escort all the way to Luoyang and then separated. No matter where the escort team went, they were going west.

However, the Wen family has set up a tight net for Mount Dafan, and even many villagers at the foot of Mount Dafan have been turned into puppets. A strange flute sounded, and the villagers who were normal just now suddenly turned pale and lost their minds. They stretched out their hands to surround Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan.

A thick white fog appeared from somewhere all around them. The three men drew their swords and were about to attack, but Wen Qing suddenly appeared.

Wen Qing hurriedly pleaded: "Three young masters, please show mercy!"

"They are all innocent mortals who have no choice but to be controlled by the Wen family. There is still hope for recovery!"

That meant they couldn't just kill people indiscriminately, so Jiang Cheng could only put away his sword and signal Wei Ying to use the whip.

Jiang clan's matriarch's wife, Yu Ziyuan, brought as a dowry a top-grade magical weapon called Purple Lightning, which specialized in spiritual awareness and was extremely extraordinary.

Later, Jiang Cheng felt that the Purple Lightning could not be used by three people, so when forging the sword, he used other materials to forge two whips in imitation of the Purple Lightning, one for himself and one for Wei Ying.

Since we can't kill people, using a whip to clear the way is the most appropriate.

However, the Wen clan's owl had undergone countless transformations, and a net dropped from the sky, covering Wei Ying without him noticing. Immediately, many controlled villagers gathered around him, and Wei Ying looked somewhat inferior in comparison.

Jiang Cheng simply cleared a way for Lan Zhan to escape. He stepped on the Three Poisons and flew towards Wei Ying, bringing the net with him. The three of them retreated to a mountain temple in the mountains to take shelter temporarily.

After releasing Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng looked up at the sky and said through gritted teeth, "When the owl follows us later, we don't need to worry about the puppets on the ground, just attack the owl!"

Wei Ying nodded in response, and Lan Zhan also said: "The Lan family has a Qingxin sound, which may help the controlled villagers to sober up a little."

Jiang Cheng directly reached out and patted Lan Zhan on the shoulder, "Okay, then you should pay attention to the attacks from the ground."

The three of them hurried to eat something, as they still had time to get the Yin Iron and couldn't just escape in such a mess.

Wei Ying couldn't help but say with regret: "The three of us have swords and whips, why didn't we think of equipping bows and arrows? If we had bows and arrows at this time, how convenient it would be to deal with the owls from the sky!"

Jiang Cheng carefully checked the collection in his storage bag and found that there was indeed no bow and arrow, so he could only feel regretful.

The same went for Wei Ying. He turned over all the pots and pans, quilts, mattresses, tents, and even snacks, but there was no bow and arrow that he urgently needed.

Lan Zhan added: "I have replacement strings for the Wangji Qin here, maybe they can be used as bow strings."

Jiang Cheng was overjoyed, "That's great, I'll go cut some bamboos, a bamboo bow is much better than throwing arrows into the sky with my bare hands!"

It is certainly not difficult to make a bow with bamboo, and the owl quickly found this abandoned mountain temple. Before the three of them had time to go in and see what was going on inside, they had already set up their formation and prepared to hunt the owl.

Lan Zhan played the Heart-Clearing Sound, and Wen Qing, who followed behind her tribesmen, also used the powder she had made to make people unconscious one by one. Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying flew up on their swords, using simple bamboo bows and spiritual arrows condensed from spiritual power to hunt the owl.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying were both excellent archers. Except for the fact that they were not familiar with the crude bamboo bow at the beginning and thus wasted two spiritual arrows, even though they could not hit the target every time, they were able to achieve their goals smoothly. The three owls sent by the Wen clan this time soon died one by one in the northwest under the spiritual arrows of Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying.

Once the owl died, the innocent villagers who were controlled on the ground regained consciousness. Wen Qing just thought that she had never beaten Jiang Cheng and the other two, and revealed a big news: "The sect leader came to find Yin Tie through a young cultivator from Liyang. The other party seems to be surnamed Xue. I guess he is very likely a descendant of Xue Chonghai."

Considering that Wen Qing was investigating everywhere when she was in the Cloud Recesses, but she seemed to be passive and even deliberately exposed her purpose, and it seemed that she was not completely on the same page with the Wen family, Jiang Cheng could not help but persuade her: "Wen Ruohan used living people to refine puppets. These villagers have been controlled once, and their lifespans have been shortened. Since you don't completely obey Wen Ruohan, you must make plans early."

Wen Qing was very grateful to Jiang Cheng and the other two for showing mercy, but she could not completely obey Wen Ruohan. That was not the same thing as betraying Wen Ruohan, and she didn't have the ability to betray him.
