The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 188 Dreamy and Subtle: Special Inspector?
Ji Hao harbored doubts about matters within the clan.

But I didn't pay much attention to it.

None of the clan elders are kind-hearted, so there shouldn't be any problems with these people coming out.

As long as the person is fine, then it doesn't matter.

As for whether anyone wants to use this incident to their advantage, that depends on the elders in the clan.

Secondly, other forces are unlikely to use much force against someone who has just advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The Golden Core stage is far too weak; there's no need to compete for it.

The biggest worry is that someone will sabotage them and prevent them from completing this task.

Or give Jiang Man'an something completely fictitious.

But with him here, none of these are problems.

But we have to guard against it.

especially.
He examined the envelope in his hand.

The immortal sect sent a special inspector. This person did not need to show his face, report to anyone, or give a detailed explanation.

This is very subtle.

Because nobody knows who he actually works for.

And who do they favor?

Strength and personality are both unknown.

"It's a pity I'm not in Zhenyue Division, otherwise I could have investigated a bit more."

"Hopefully, this isn't just for a marriage alliance with the Ji family."

But a certain coincidence forced him to be on guard.

This Misty Cloud Sect is indeed somewhat strange.

This wasn't the place he originally chose.

It is indeed due to the destiny of an unparalleled genius.

They arrived, but I couldn't sense any presence from them.

He was even afraid that the other person was already dead.

If the young lady's secret is touched, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Despite the villagers' curiosity, when it really came down to it, they were all incredibly hesitant.

Because you might actually die.

It's alright now; we've shifted our attention to Jiang Man.

Make the marriage alliance a big deal.

Pay less attention to those destined for unparalleled genius.

No one will rush you.

of course.

He can continue to stay here.

In addition, he did want to check Jiang Man again.

This person is quite extraordinary.

Of course, he didn't want anything to be found during the examination.

Ji Hao stood atop the mountain peak, working on the map ahead, seemingly searching for something.

-

the other side.

The Ji family's flying magical artifacts swiftly traversed the endless mountains.

This place is desolate and devoid of any spiritual energy.

It belongs to a no-go zone for life.

There is absolutely no possibility of surpassing it with ordinary cultivation levels.

To enter or exit, one must pay a considerable price.

After entering the desolate mountain range, Qingdai, who was placed at the back, whispered, "Miss, we're really out! The immortal sect didn't react at all."

The Ji family's flying magical artifact is a giant disc.

There are five powerful individuals controlling the magical artifact, along with five guards who are on high alert regarding their surroundings.

Besides these ten people.

There were seven people above the magic weapon.

The one leading them was Ji Shuying.

She wore a white veil, her black hair cascading down her back, tied up with a simple jade hairpin.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, exuding a cool and aloof air.

She sat there cross-legged, silently circulating her internal energy.

Behind her was a woman with short, ear-length hair.

Ji Zhixia had bright and lively phoenix eyes, and her spirit was high as she looked around. She kept wiping her dagger the whole way.

The five people who followed them fell behind.

Two of them were from collateral relatives and brought maids with them.

Ji Rou.

The only young lady without a maid had her hair simply tied up, her lips naturally red and her eyebrows naturally dark. Her temperament was as clean as a piece of fine Xuan paper, and her demeanor exuded a scholarly air that made people want to protect her.

The first woman, accompanied by her maid, was Ji Suyue. Her long hair was tied high in a neat ponytail, and she wore no makeup. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her features were bright and striking, with her sword-like eyebrows adding to her heroic air.

Her maid stared at her mistress, seemingly afraid that she might do something wrong and incur the family's displeasure.

the last one.

Her skin was like ice and snow, translucent and untouched by dust. Her black hair was braided into countless fine braids, adorned with silver bells, and the ends of her hair carried a strand of purple.

He had deep-set eyes and a red flower pattern on his forehead.

Her lips were bright red, and her smile carried a captivating allure that blended innocence and wickedness.

This person is known as Ji Meng, but in reality, she is a clone of Meng Qiewei's power.

“Miss, you smile a lot now, and the wind chimes ring when you walk. Although you are not lively, you are not aloof either. You are innocent with a touch of wickedness, especially the pattern on your forehead because of an injury you suffered when you were young. It suits you best.” Qingdai said softly.

Meng Qie calmly looked down at the desolation below.

"More than three hundred years ago, the Endless Mountains were completely destroyed and have not been able to recover to this day."

"The immortal sects have focused most of their energy on the outside world; otherwise, who knows how many people would have died," Qingdai remarked with a sigh.

"The time was too short," Meng Qiewei said.

Three hundred years is nothing to them.

But for outsiders, it was the most difficult period of their lives.

How long this period will last is unknown.

The people of the Immortal Sect have been working hard on these things.

Once the immortal sects have free time, the people on the list will be much more obedient than they are now.

Qingdai understood this principle, which is why her mistress was planning to come out at this time.

Otherwise, it will be even more difficult later on.

After a pause, Qingdai whispered, "Miss, do you think the immortal sects might do something to you?"

"Any news?" Meng Qiewei asked.

"I heard that the Immortal Sect has issued an appointment: Special Inspector of the Zhenyue Division. Only the code name is known; everything else is a mystery."

"However, after investigation, this person should have been sent to the Misty Cloud Sect," Qingdai said worriedly. "We just happened to be going to the Misty Cloud Sect as well. Could this be a countermeasure by the immortal sects?"

Meng Qiewei was slightly surprised: "The immortal sects reacted so quickly?"

“Indeed, the immortal sects didn’t send anyone this time; they just issued the order. The people must have been found in advance. It was too fast, as if it had been arranged beforehand,” Qingdai said.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring the silver bells at the ends of Meng Qiewei's hair, and their clear sounds rang out.

Only then did she ask, "What if the immortal sects target me?"

Qingdai pondered for a moment and said, "To monitor Miss?"

"What's the use of surveillance?" Meng asked with a slight smile.

"What will they do?"

"What do you say?"

Qingdai was taken aback and immediately thought of what she had been worried about at the beginning.

If the young lady secretly kills him, he will have to return to his clan.

Therefore, the best way for the immortal sect to eliminate the danger is to send the young lady back.

Of all the methods, killing is the fastest.

She was somewhat shocked, then asked, "Does anyone dare?"

Meng Qiewei did not speak.

Does anyone dare?

There must be.

But they are definitely not from the immortal sects.

She wasn't worried; she could just wait and see what the other party would do.

"If such a thing were to happen, how many people in the Immortal Sect would dare to issue such an order?" Meng Qie asked suddenly.

After a moment's thought, Qingdai quickly identified three people.

But none of them seem quite right.

She couldn't guess.

"Then there's no need to guess, just play it by ear," Meng Qiewei said casually.

She then asked if there were any other discoveries.

"The Immortal Sect has appointed a special inspector, and other forces also seem to be curious about the Mist Cloud Sect. Some have already sent people out, but there are also rumors that the awakening of the demon race may trigger some supreme treasures," Qingdai said.

Meng Qiewei didn't pay too much attention to it.

Seeing that her mistress didn't care, Qingdai didn't think too much about it, but she still didn't know whether her mistress came out for the sake of her son-in-law.

In addition, she also had to find time to deal with the elders in the clan.

To avoid them discovering that the young lady has gone out.

really interesting.

Now all that's missing is the son-in-law.

However, we could first follow the clan's prodigy and go see Jiang Man.

Being so highly sought after by geniuses must mean there's something special about it.

It won't be too boring.

I just hope he doesn't take a fancy to that girl, otherwise...
I don't know how I'll die.

evening.

Jiang Man sat on the high platform and looked down for the entire day.

After losing sixth place, he discovered that the Luo family was actually number one this year.

After the worst comes the best.

The year he was there, the Luo family was almost on its last legs.

It's still possible to have a first place now.

Their luck wasn't bad.

I just don't know who the other person is to Luo Xuan.

The assessment had already ended, and the students had all left.

Jiang Man remained seated on the high platform, awaiting the final results. As long as he remained, no one around him could leave.

Especially the middle-aged men from the past.

He gripped his wrist, stood quietly, puzzled.

Why was I defeated so easily when we were both Golden Core cultivators?

His elixir had been refined over many years.

Even if the opponent is a third-level Core Formation cultivator, there shouldn't be such a large gap.

But he never actually fought against anyone from the Third Law.

The specifics are unclear. But we have no choice but to endure it now.

The Golden Core cultivator before us has a very impressive reputation.

He didn't even dare to enter the inner gate, making him feel that he was all talk and no action.

Would a true prodigy waste time lingering in the outer sect?
At this moment, Jiang Man sensed a reaction from the identity token inside his storage magic item.

The appointment has been made?
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised.

But instead of checking, he finished what he was doing first.

The rankings were then sent to Jiang Man.

"Have you seen it?" Jiang Man asked the dean.

"Not yet checked," the dean replied immediately.

Jiang Man nodded.

He immediately began to examine it.

First in Yunqian Division, Jingchen Tower, Luo Hu.

Second in Yunqian Division, Baililou, Li Mo.

Third in Yunqian Division, Baililou, Fang Jinwu.

Fourth in the Yunqian Division, at Jianyue Tower, Cheng Huo.

Fifth in the Yunqian Division, at Jianyue Tower, Zhao Tiankuo.

When Jiang Man saw the fifth place, he squinted, and then looked at the sixth place.

Sixth in the Yunqian Division, Jingchen Tower, Yang Fan.

Upon seeing the other person, Jiang Man carefully checked their scores.

I discovered that the other person's spiritual level was low.

"Bring Yang Fan's books over," Jiang Man said.

Upon hearing this, the dean dared not hesitate.

The book was soon in Jiang Man's hands.

After a quick check, I discovered that the other party was deliberately suppressing their cultivation level.

Jiang Man then stopped asking questions.

Since it was he who pressed it, it has nothing to do with him.

If the dean falsified the information and deliberately made the ranking inaccurate.

That has something to do with him.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Jiang has no choice but to take our young master with him. Why did you go through all that trouble just now?" the middle-aged man said smugly in a low voice.

Jiang Man glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye, then gently moved his hand.

Snapped!
He slapped the other person across the air and calmly said, "I didn't ask you to speak."

Anger flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Xianzhang has quite the air of authority."

Jiang Man felt this person was really annoying. He had spent 50,000 yuan to save face, didn't he know to back off?
The Zhao family really doesn't know how to hire people.

Jiang Man kept looking back after that.

I read up to number 103, Chang Qin.

"Not bad," Jiang Man thought to himself.

Then I glanced at number 105.

They are all about the same.

Then he looked at the dean and said, "Tomorrow I will take the top five away, and then one hundred more will follow."

"In addition to those recruited, at least thirty more will be placed in the next batch, and Yunqian Division will be responsible for arranging their livelihoods."

He then handed over a letter: "This is the legal document for this arrangement. The person in charge of the assessment next year will come to review it. In addition, I have already obtained last year's materials. They passed the review before, but there are some shortcomings that you need to improve as soon as possible."

"Understood," the dean replied immediately.

“There are no superfluous verbal laws, but the cultivation and enlightenment in villages needs to be taken seriously. The review process in this area is very strict, as are the qualifications for becoming a teacher,” Jiang Man said.

Nothing else happened after that.

Jiang Man has done what he was supposed to do.

I can return to the sect to report tomorrow.

Afterwards, Jiang Man met with Song Qing.

Say goodbye and tell the other person not to waste their time.

You need to stay up all night to practice.

So he went back to cultivate.

Song Qing also returned to his dormitory, ready to cultivate diligently.

In addition, he had already learned that the youngest sister of the Chang family had been admitted to a sect.

He thought the other party would come over and share the good news with him.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

I suppose they have other things to do.

"What are you waiting for?" Uncle Tong asked curiously.

He was very grateful to Song Qing.

If it weren't for Song Qing, he probably wouldn't be doing well either.

Song Qing shook his head: "No."

“Although I may not be being polite, I know what you’re thinking,” the young guard who had returned to rest said. “That girl is different now. She’s joined a sect, and she’s worlds apart from us guards.”

What is a guard?
To put it bluntly, they were servants.

"They are different from sect disciples."

"Although you know important people, you are not related to them."

"You'll never get out of here in your entire life."

"You two are from two different worlds."

After he finished speaking, he regretted it somewhat.

Straightforward and outspoken.

If they retaliate, we're doomed.

"I was just saying it casually. Maybe I'm a bad person and I'm wrong, which is normal," the young guard said immediately.

Song Qing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not what you think."

“I told you I was wrong,” the young guard said immediately.

Uncle Tong patted Song Qing on the shoulder and said, "Actually, you're not bad off. With your friend's help, you should be able to do very well in Yunqian Division."

"Not really," Song Qing shook his head.

Jiang Man just told him that he had just offended some family.

Yun Qian Si probably wouldn't dare to give him too much preferential treatment.

I'm worried about being accidentally hurt by the other party.

Knowing someone like that is certainly beneficial.

But the downsides are definitely obvious as well.

But he didn't care.

He's already living a good life.

Finally, he began cultivating absentmindedly.

But no one came looking for him until late at night.

-

Before dawn, Jiang Man arrived at the entrance of Yunqian Division and began to wait.

I came early to use the Greatsword Technique.

Finally, the opportunity has arrived.

This wasn't necessary before.

He sat on the sword, feeling the greatsword.

This way, we can know how fast we should go and prevent damage to the spirit sword.

Last night he looked at the identity token and found that it required an array.

He hadn't studied it, so he didn't waste time researching it; he would wait until he got back to find Lao Huang.

He saw Song Qing very early in the morning.

"You came to see me off?" Jiang Man asked.

Song Qing nodded.

However, he/she is not in very good spirits.

Jiang Man asked, "Something on your mind?"

Song Qing was surprised: "How come Young Master Jiang can always tell?"

"Perhaps I am an unparalleled genius," Jiang Man said.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

"It's not really a worry, it's just that my roommate said something that made me feel weird," Song Qing said, somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Man wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he instantly flew on his sword and took Song Qing to buy two steamed buns.

One per person.

Meat buns, that's too extravagant.

If he hadn't become a Golden Core Ancestor, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to give it up.

Then Song Qingcai spoke up, "Then let me tell you?"

"Go ahead and say it," Jiang Man said, savoring the meat bun.

Only with meat can Song Qing tell his story; it's truly expensive.

“Actually, yesterday I thought…” Song Qing briefly explained his situation.

He had thought that the youngest sister of the Chang family would come and tell him the good news that the other party had entered the sect.

But the other party did not come.

He didn't think it was a big deal.

But others felt that from that moment on, the two were worlds apart.

Don't have any unrealistic ideas.

Jiang Man forgot to eat his meat buns and then asked, "Do you have such unrealistic ideas?"

Song Qing fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Man was shocked: "Does Lao Chang know about this?"

“That’s not it,” Song Qing said immediately. “I don’t have any particular thoughts, I just feel something’s off.”

"I've seen her details. Did you borrow her spiritual energy?" Jiang Man asked.

Song Qing shook his head.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. No?
"It's for him," Song Qing said, catching his breath. Then he immediately explained, "Old Chang took good care of me when he was a guard, so it's only right that I take care of his sister."

"It's to repay a debt of gratitude."

Jiang Man was silent for a moment before saying, "Lend me your savings later, and there will be interest."

Then Jiang Man patted Song Qing on the shoulder and said, "Eat some steamed buns, don't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing was taken aback.

He suddenly understood.

Jiang Man wanted to tell him that although the meat buns looked and smelled delicious, they were just buns at heart, and he shouldn't be fooled by their appearance.

The steamed buns will eventually be finished; don't be attached to possessing them. Eating them is the most enjoyable thing.

But eventually, the steamed buns will all be eaten.

Eat the steamed bun, and learn to let go.

“I understand,” Song Qing said immediately.

Jiang Man was taken aback. What do you know?

People influenced by women tend to overthink and often glean some philosophical insights about life.
