The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 257 I have a bold idea
Jiang Man came out of the prison cell and thought about many possibilities.

For example, the Ye siblings avoided him like the plague, they secretly plotted against him, and they verbally abused him.

He never expected that the other party would give him a spiritual source as soon as he came out, and it was a huge sum of 80,000 yuan.

Logically, their group should also be targeted.

Although they are not from the Misty Cloud Sect, being part of the Misty Cloud Sect makes it impossible for them to remain unaffected.

Therefore, it's understandable that they might do something.

Jiang Man felt the spiritual energy in his hand, then took out 30,000 and returned it to the other party.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingtian frowned.

If the other party refuses to accept the 30,000, that's not a good thing.

Before he could even speak, Jiang Man said, "Mr. Ye thinks highly of me, and Senior Brother Ye also gave me a chance. We are good friends."

"It's a bit unreasonable to betray a good friend like this."

Several people were confused.

What are you talking about?
Who are your good friends?

"Besides, because of me, you all gained the qualification to enter the Immortal Sect Competition. This is a favor, and the other party only offered you 50,000 to betray me. How can you do that?" Jiang Man said seriously.

Ye Jingtian frowned and stared at Jiang Man, asking, "Then what should I do?"

"You betrayed me, which is a breach of faith, an abandonment of a good friend, and an offense against a peerless genius. Isn't Wuwan underestimating you too much?" Jiang Man suddenly asked.

Ye Jingtian and the others felt that Jiang Man had been saying nonsensical things from the very beginning.

Ye Jingtian followed up with, "So?"

“So,” Jiang Man looked at the group and said seriously, “I need to pay more. You betrayed me and I am heartbroken. Naturally, I need more spiritual energy.”

"Of course, you will do a good enough job to ensure that the location is in place in real time, and may even enable me to learn secret techniques so that I can report the information myself."

"As for how they did it, they don't need to worry about that."

In an instant, Ye Jingtian was stunned.

Jiang Manyisi's intentions are quite obvious.

He can provide the secret technique location himself, but the other party needs to add spiritual energy.

And he has to ask for it.

He doesn't need the 30,000, but he definitely needs to get back more spiritual energy.

Finally, Ye Jingtian nodded: "I understand, wait for me a moment."

After that, Ye Jingtian left with his men.

On the way, Mo Xin asked with some concern, "Are we really going to ask for the spiritual source?"

"There's nothing we can do," Ye Jingtian said.

Mo Xin whispered, "Trying not to offend either side often means offending both sides. Things are rarely as easy as you might think, especially when one side is such a shameless person."

Ye Jingtian nodded: "I know, but I never believe that it's possible to offend neither side."

“Take the spiritual source here, and give us the location there.”

"It seems like a good thing, but they can all turn on you."

"What I need to do is stall for time. As long as we stall until the end, we can leave the Misty Cloud Sect smoothly."

“Actually, since we’re not from the Misty Cloud Sect, they need to think twice before deciding what to do to us,” the monk said.

Ye Jingtian shook his head and said, "We can't stop a peak master from doing whatever he wants. Although the probability of him targeting us is almost zero, and even if he does something, it wouldn't be enough to make him go so far as to do something drastic."

"But as soon as we get involved in some inexplicable incident, he can lock us up for investigation."

“They did nothing but investigate, but this investigation took three months, so we were detained for three months.”

"Then after the investigation is cleared up, they're released. Do you have any other options?"

"So what we need to do now is not to offend either side, but if it turns into offending both sides, that's what will happen after we get out."

"At that time, we left the Misty Cloud Sect as soon as possible."

"Then everything will be completely stable."

"Besides, Xiaoshuang will be leaving today, otherwise we might not be able to leave smoothly either."

The others remained silent.

They never expected that coming here would inexplicably offend a peak master.

Jiang Man's behavior even included trying to get spiritual energy from the other party.

“One is the background itself, and the other is probably a huge background. It’s really uncomfortable for us outsiders to be caught in the middle.” Mo Xin said with a lot of helplessness.

But there are also benefits.

That means they all have a chance to enter the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

-

Jiang Man stood still and waited.

The other party is still being somewhat conservative.

Surprisingly, they didn't just sell him off openly.

If I had known the other party would give me spiritual energy, I should have contacted Fang Shao to talk to him.

They'll definitely be able to sell themselves for a good price.

fifty thousand?

That's incredibly disrespectful.

Fang Shao sold himself as a fool and still made over ten thousand.

Jiang Man naturally agreed to the secret method.

These people don't come looking for me; I have to go looking for them myself.

As an unparalleled genius, how could one possibly adopt a passive defense?

Naturally, we should take the initiative.

The glory of the gods will shine equally upon them.

However, I need to improve my cultivation level as soon as possible.

I was lucky yesterday; after eating all the fruits, I successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage.

However, in order to learn the methods of advancement, he did not properly hone his cultivation level.

The control was not adequate.

but.
All rivers flow into the sea, their flow never ceasing.

His immense power could completely compensate for his lack of magical abilities, allowing him to sweep aside opponents of the same level.

In this state, it is entirely possible to attempt to give birth to a primordial spirit.

The promotion method isn't difficult; he's already learned almost all of it.

All that's left is to practice for a day or two when needed.

Having already exhausted all his spiritual energy, he had no further thoughts.

But now at least 100,000 has been earned.

You can definitely buy the Chaoyuan Taiyin Pill to enhance your cultivation level with the fourth gourd.

One costs 3,300, and with a 5% discount, it's a little over 3,100.

One hundred thousand can buy about thirty-two.

In fact, Song Qing secretly sent 20,000 coins, but he used them all to buy materials for the formation.

Because Ren Qian brought him a solution to counter Ling Hua, namely, an array.

Therefore, he needs to be prepared.

Since Lingyuan was treated so readily, he would naturally have to have her awaken Linghua.

It must be said that there is so much to learn, and this amount of time is simply not enough.

Now in October, he is studying at the Second Academy.

They never had time to go back and visit.

Soon, Ye Jingtian and the others returned.

They brought back 120,000 spiritual resources.

Jiang Man was quite moved; it was 20,000 more than he had expected.

Those are thirty-eight Taiyin Pills.

I'm still quite a ways off from promotion, but I'm forced to make a breakthrough.

"Their requirements are that you must learn the secret technique yourself and keep sending messages out. In addition, you must not know the true use of the secret technique," Ye Jingtian said.

They are actually offending people right now.

Because Jiang Man knew that once an ambush was set up...

Then the enemy will definitely know after they set up the ambush, and once they come out, they may not be able to leave.

Doing this kind of thing is much more dangerous than expected.

Furthermore, Jiang Manruo needed time to prepare, but they had to keep telling him her location.

If we interrupt their preparations, they will likely do something in return.

So what we need to fight for is time.

Once the Immortal Clan Grand Competition ends, the first thing to do is escape, and everything will be fine.

"Wait for me." Jiang Man immediately went into the Enforcement Hall to buy the pills.

Then he found Ye Jingtian and the others and said, "It's ready."

Ye Jingtian didn't care and said, "The Immortal Sect Competition has a Golden Core area and a Primordial Spirit area."

"When you first enter, you'll be automatically separated. What we need to do is see if we can get what we want. After that, we'll meet at the boundary and compete for rankings."

"The current information is that the lowest cultivation level is the late Golden Core stage, and the highest is the late Nascent Soul stage, which is a very large range."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Man and continued, "Qin Wen, who contacted me, is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In addition, there is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in his team."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; there was actually a later version.

That's impossible to fight.

No matter how fast he advances, he can't possibly advance to the later stage.

It seems there's a lot of trouble ahead.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Can we go in now?" Jiang Man didn't ask any further questions.

Ye Jingtian checked the time and felt it was about time.

He immediately said, "It's ready. Take out your tokens and activate them to go in. Also, the three of you should be a team, so be extremely careful."

Jiang Man looked at the monk and the girl beside him.

They both reached the Golden Core stage.

They were originally supposed to be eliminated, but because of Jiang Man, they qualified for the competition.

"They've already learned the secret technique; they'll let you know once you're inside," Ye Jingtian reminded him.

Jiang Man nodded, then said, "Once they go in, they have to listen to me."

The monk frowned, but didn't say anything more.

If Jiang Man runs away as soon as they enter, they will actually be in more trouble.

Parting ways is even more unrealistic.

Because there's no way to communicate location, you can't refuse to go with him.

Finally, he nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The girl replied, "I will listen to my master."

Ye Jingtian nodded.

Then the token's resonant power enveloped them, and their figures began to disappear.

This is a teleportation array; it will send people directly inside.

If you don't go in voluntarily, the token will take you in at the last minute.

the other side.

Qin Wen looked at a man holding a long sword and said, "Yin Qin will cooperate with you to weigh the number one disciple of the outer sect."

The man with the knife said coldly, "I'm afraid I'll kill him."

"Hold back a little, just enough to keep him alive," Qin Wen said calmly. "Then I'll go over there. I think he should understand that, being in the outer sect, he doesn't know that the inner sect is not as peaceful as the outer sect."

The woman holding the jade flute said softly, "May I help?"

Qin Wen looked at the other person and said, "Do whatever you want, even distract him, just keep him here until I get there."

"I suppose Ye Jingtian and the others won't refuse to give us a seat."

“If they want to leave peacefully, they can’t just take the spiritual source and not do anything about it.”

"What if Ye Jingtian's men make a move?" the man holding the long sword asked.

"You decide what to do. If they don't make a move, don't worry about them. If they do, you decide," Qin Wen said.

Upon hearing this, the man holding the long sword nodded slightly: "Alright, I'll teach the number one disciple of the outer sect a lesson first."

Qin Wen cautioned, "Don't approach this with a playful attitude; you'll easily suffer losses. Those who manage to get a spot are never simple."

"You're relying on his youth."

"Such people are prone to erupting in desperate situations."

The man with the knife nodded slightly: "I understand."

Then Qin Wen looked at the woman holding the jade flute and said, "Junior Sister Yin, keep an eye on things. There can't be any accidents."

After making the decision, the group entered the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

-

Ji family.

Ji Wuye personally summoned three juniors who were participating in the Immortal Sect Competition.

Two men and one woman.

The leader was a sword-wielding man whose primordial spirit had reached perfection.

"This time you need to find a man named Jiang Man, a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, whose cultivation level should be Golden Core," Ji Wuye continued, looking at them. "You don't need to fight him at first; just use formations and various spells to trap him."

"If we're going to take action, only you can do it."

As he spoke, Ji Wuye pointed to the only woman and said, "You are at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so you can test his strength."

"You need to control your strength. I heard that the opponent is only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

The woman said respectfully, "Elder, rest assured, I will fight him at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. If he can last thirty moves against me, then he will win."

The leading man from the Ji family said, "Can't we attack first and then trap them?"

"Either is fine, use whichever you think is more suitable." Ji Wuye nodded.

He then gave some more instructions, saying, "You can set off now. While testing him, don't forget your own opportunity."

The three nodded.

Finally, it disappeared from the spot.

They didn't pay much attention to the people from the sect.

He was a prodigy nurtured by the Ji family.

Their abilities far surpass those of ordinary people their age.

Even the most outstanding talents from various sects cannot compare to them.

Whether it's a formation or a direct confrontation.

They didn't take Jiang Man seriously.

It was just something that happened by chance.

All they had to do was try to seize an opportunity within the system.

There are plenty of good things at the competition.

Especially special techniques.

It's outrageously powerful.

They may be at the same level, but the combat power they display is completely different.

Only by reaching that level can one be called a prodigy.

Watching the three leave.

Ji Wuye sighed heavily: "There have been quite a few things happening lately."

At that moment, two people walked in from outside, a man and a woman.

The man looked to be in his forties, while the woman appeared younger, but still looked to be in her thirties.

"How many things has the Bai family done?" Ji Wuye asked slowly as he sat down.

In an instant, his imposing aura pressed down like a mountain.

"The Bai family patriarch has emerged from seclusion, but strangely, he seems to have escaped using a clone through some means," the middle-aged man said, frowning. "We don't yet know his purpose, but the Bai family main branch is already putting pressure on us."

"It seems they're forcing us to take action against them."

"Or perhaps they're forcing the young lady to take action."

"His behavior is rather puzzling," the woman said, frowning. "He's gone out in a separate location, yet he's forcing the young lady to take action. Why is that?"

The middle-aged man tried to guess: "Could it be that he's deliberately letting the young lady know that he's gone out in a different way, but she's still being locked up here?"

Upon hearing this, the other two were startled.

That's really quite malicious.

"In addition, the Bai family is also targeting the new prodigy, and the marriage partners that the new prodigy values ​​are the first to be affected."

"Since the opponent has entered the Immortal Sect Competition, the Bai family will likely make a move as well," the middle-aged man said.

Ji Wuye frowned.

The Ji family's situation is complicated, and he really doesn't want to clash with the Bai family.

The young lady is also in danger.

In case the other party gets angry and attacks directly.

That day, everything collapsed.

The Ji family is doomed.

"This Jiang Man is indeed quite unlucky. What was the name of the woman he married?" Ji Wuye asked.

“Ji Meng is from a remote collateral branch of the family, but so far the two of them have only been in contact and she is not yet a real marriage prospect,” the middle-aged man said.

"Given such a complicated situation, is there anyone who would want to go and take her place in the arranged marriage?" Ji Wuye asked.

“There are still some. They think that Xin Tianjiao’s judgment is probably not wrong, but Xin Tianjiao’s recent actions have made many people dissatisfied. They are saying, where did he go to find a son-in-law?” the middle-aged man said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let's put all that aside for now. If the Bai family patriarch really wants to provoke the young lady, we need to find a way to prevent her from being provoked."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly added, "I have a somewhat immature but also audacious idea."

The two were quite curious about what he was thinking.

"I can't say for now. I need to consider it for a while, then discuss it with Miss Qingdai, and then get the eldest young lady's approval," Ji Wuye said. "You all continue to observe. Let the Bai family be for now, and don't let them fight."

"We'll have to see what the young lady thinks."
