I really became a king.

Chapter 342 Night at Wusheng Ridge

A few more days passed, and the imperial capital of Dali was as peaceful as ever. However, the Prince Yi's Mansion on Mount Kongtong in Luofu, a suburb of the imperial city, became bustling with people coming and going, and many dignitaries of Dali were coming in and out.

They all came to see Jiang Yi off, because tomorrow was the January deadline and Jiang Yi would be traveling to the Demon Realm in the western border.

When night fell, the entire Prince Yi's Mansion quieted down again, but it was still busy as everyone was making final preparations for the next morning.

Jiang Yi, on the contrary, became the most idle person. After strolling around Prince Yi's Mansion, he realized that he could not help with anything, so he went down Kongtong Mountain with a pair of his followers.

The Sun and Moon Terrace camp at the foot of the mountain was also brightly lit at this time, and it seemed that everyone was making final preparations for the long journey the next day.

Jiang Zhongshan, the leader of the Shan tribe, happened to be outside the camp gate at this time. When he saw Jiang Yi, he wanted to step forward, but Jiang Yi waved his hand to stop him. After the two looked at each other, Jiang Yi took his relatives and went straight to Luofu.

While walking on the road, he kept thinking about the warnings from Yinshan Mountain Master Zhu Wuyan and the other man, but he had no idea what to do.

Although it was a warning, the other party was very vague and only said two sentences.

The first sentence: You really know how to choose a place. You didn’t choose any other place, but you chose Wushengling.

Second sentence: Be careful with your precious ones and move them out of Wusheng Ridge as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it.

The entire warning consisted of just these two sentences. When Jiang Yi asked further, Zhu Wuyan gnashed his teeth:

What? I have come all the way here to give you a warning, which is already a betrayal, and you are still not satisfied?

Besides, you slept with me that day without knowing why, and you could have just walked away, but you even slept with my middle-aged lady. It’s good enough that I didn’t ask you to settle the score…

Jiang Yi laughed dryly, feeling that there was a strong sour taste in these words, but it seemed that he was passive at the beginning, right?
As for Lan Fu's mother, Lan Ying, she had an ashamed look on her face from beginning to end.

Jiang Yi didn't dare to ask any further. Although Zhu Wuyan didn't say it explicitly, he understood the meaning of the word betrayal because he knew the other party's identity as a foreign alien.

It can also be inferred from this that the person behind the plot against Dong Chengyang and his group of scholars is related to the foreign races? Thinking of this possibility, he was shocked.

According to the information he got, the foreign races had no chance of entering the Manghuang Continent, and there should be only one foreign race, Zhu Wuyan, in the entire Manghuang Continent.

Moreover, it cannot transmit any information, so naturally it cannot be controlled remotely.

But if it wasn’t the legendary alien race from the wilds, who could it be?

A secluded sect? Perhaps this is possible, but don't forget that this is in the suburbs of the imperial capital of Dali, and because of the oath, the other side's secluded masters dare not enter the range of a hundred miles of the imperial capital.

Moreover, although the secular martial arts are somewhat in decline nowadays, it has not fallen to the point where it can be approached by secular sects without being aware of it. The secular sects simply cannot hide their actions from the world.

As for the four border dynasties, it is naturally even more impossible for them to have the strength to sneak into the suburbs of the Dali imperial capital on a large scale.

After much deliberation, the possibility of those species from the wild was still the greatest. When Jiang Yi was about to test it again, Zhu Wuyan had already stood up, glanced outside the courtyard through the gate, and said: The person who can relieve your anger is here...

Then she left, and then Tuo Xiaoliu, who was wearing a slim cook's outfit, came in, making Jiang Yi wonder: I did it very secretly, how did she know?
Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Yi stopped because they had arrived at the Five Sacred Ridge.

Wushengling is actually a small hill. It is said to be an ancient tomb. However, throughout history, countless people have wanted to find out, but they could not find the so-called ancient tomb. It is just an ordinary hill.

This is all the information Jiang Yineng has obtained about the Five Sacred Ridges in the past few days. He sighed in his heart, wishing that Dong Chengyang, the living dictionary, was here at this moment. He is well-read and might have some information about the Five Sacred Ridges.

But unfortunately, although Dong Chengyang is now in Wusheng Ridge, he is in a state of meditation.

Thinking of Zhu Wuyan's warning, Jiang Yi also wanted to move Dong Chengyang and others away, but Dong Chengyang repeatedly reminded them before entering into meditation: Be sure to tell the prince that no one can approach us before we wake up from meditation!

Therefore, Jiang Yi did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, since the big man behind the scenes was so fearful, the meditation of Dong Chengyang and others this time must be not simple.

It may even open a new chapter of cultivation in the wild continent! The suggestion reminds me of the great human sage Wen Dawen in the Yinshan Realm. He destroyed his martial arts foundation and spent his entire life just for this day.
Jiang Yi knew that his guess was probably right, otherwise why didn't the mastermind take action earlier or later, but only after Dong Chengyang and others were about to enter a state of meditation?
This is most likely the reason why they don’t want to see human scholars embark on their own path of cultivation!

Standing there quietly, looking at the Five Sacred Mountains shrouded in darkness, Jiang Yi's expression became somewhat solemn, and he asked in a low voice:
"Are the nine divisions of Sun and Moon ready?"

Ding Ren took a step forward and whispered, "Your Highness, except for the Shan tribe that stayed in Kongtong to guard Prince Yi's mansion, the other eight tribes have all completed their transfer without anyone noticing."

Jiang Yi nodded. At this time, Fulong next to him said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me go in and take a look on your behalf..." The implication was that he didn't want Jiang Yi to be in danger.

Jiang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I want to see who is so powerful that dares to spy on the scholars of Dali!" After that, he walked towards the Five Sacred Ridge.

After all, he still didn't believe that anyone could openly attack the Five Sacred Ridge under the nose of the Dali Imperial Capital. What's more, the Blood-Clothed Guards and the Martial Palace had already lurked in the Five Sacred Ridge. With them there, Jiang Yi didn't think there would be any major danger.

Yinshan, Zhu Wuyan and Lan Ying finally returned to Yinshan after traveling day and night for several days.

But just after entering the mountain gate and before he could catch his breath, a piece of intelligence arrived from the imperial capital of Dali. It contained only a few short words: Prince Yi of Dali has entered the Five Sacred Ridge!
Zhu Wuyan's face changed and he said anxiously: "I've told him everything, why don't you move away and instead put yourself in danger!" Then he was about to leave the mountain gate again.

"Mountain Master, it's too late." Lan Ying reminded with a complicated expression.

Zhu Wuyan's body froze, and he said absentmindedly: "Why didn't he listen to my advice? Why did he insist on entering Wusheng Ridge?"

Then he showed regret on his face and murmured, "I shouldn't be so reserved, or maybe I really didn't understand..."

"Tonight in Wusheng Ridge, the stars are moving and the sky is burning. Why are you so stubborn..."

"You are the only man who has touched my heart in all these years. If anything happens to me, I will definitely avenge you!" A tear slid silently from the corner of her eye.
