Chapter 1541 The Untamed 21
As a large family that has preserved most of its manpower like the Lanling Jin Clan, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan will of course make great efforts in the siege of Nevernight City this time, so Jiang Cheng made direct arrangements: "Ah Xian and Ah Jie will take Hall Master Meng with them, and I will follow behind to help you."
Wei Ying knew that his greatest advantage was to contain Wen Ruohan and prevent him from using the Yin Iron to control those puppets to hurt people, but this trick couldn't be done in front of people, so the main force was still Jiang Yanli and Meng Yao. He patted Meng Yao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Master Meng, are you ready for the fight?"
Meng Yao is now a completely changed person. He smiled confidently and said, "You make it sound like I am only doing things behind the scenes. I have also killed many minions of the Wen Clan!"
Jiang Yanli watched the two of them playing tricks with a smile. When she looked at Jiang Cheng, she hesitated for a moment, but still made her request in a low voice: "Ah Cheng, do you still remember Miss Wen Qing and Master Wen Ning?"
"Of course I remember." Jiang Cheng nodded heavily. How could he forget Wen Qing and Wen Ning?
Even Wei Ying stopped joking with Meng Yao and agreed, “When I went to the Wen Clan to study, many of us were secretly looked after by Miss Wen Qing and Master Wen Ning. Even the Yiling Supervisory Office was easily breached thanks to them.”
Meng Yao immediately understood what Jiang Yanli meant, and said with a smile: "Miss, there is no need to mention this matter specifically. As far as I know, Miss Wen Qing and Master Wen Ning are not from the Wen Clan of Qishan. Although they are distant relatives of Wen Ruohan, they have lived in Dafan Mountain for generations and are only good at medicine. They did not help Wen Ruohan do evil, but secretly helped a lot of immortal families."
Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying also nodded in agreement with Meng Yao's words, especially Jiang Cheng, who said frankly: "I have already planned this matter, and have secretly contacted Miss Wen Qing and Master Wen Ning. They will prepare in advance the medical books and pulse records accumulated by the Dafan Mountain lineage for generations. I have even relocated many of the old, weak, and disabled people in the clan to other places."
Wei Ying couldn't help but raise his fist and punch Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, "Okay, Cheng, you still have such foresight."
Jiang Yanli was also happy now, "I also found out that Miss Wen Qing did nothing evil, and I also know that they have helped Ah Xian out many times, so I can't bear for their family to be regarded as Wen Ruohan's accomplices by outsiders."
On the other hand, Lan Zhan returned to the Lan clan's residence and was also talking to his brother Lan Huan about the Wen Qing lineage. Just as Jiang Yanli did not want to regard the Wen Qing lineage as Wen Ruohan's accomplices, Lan Zhan knew early on that Jiang Cheng would definitely save the Wen Qing lineage, so this time he also persuaded his brother and the clan elders in advance.
Lan Huan himself is a person who knows how to repay kindness. His distinction between gratitude and resentment is clearly different from Nie Mingjue's stubbornness and willingness to only believe what he sees. He even didn't care about Wen Qing's many attempts at probing him in the back mountain of Cloud Recesses.
However, they didn't know that Jiang Cheng not only arranged for people to relocate the old, weak and sick members of Wen Qing's lineage, but also set his sights on Wen Ruohan's private vault and various Wen family classics.
In fact, attacking Nevernight City was not that difficult. After all, the two sides had reached this point, and the disciples and guests of the Wen family had a lot of ideas, which naturally made it convenient for people with ulterior motives like Jiang Cheng.
There are more than one person who has the same idea as Jiang Cheng, but the most important one is Jin Guangshan.
Jin Guangshan is a scheming and greedy person. He only made a clear choice of side when the Wen family showed signs of decline. If Wen Ruohan had not gone against the trend and captured many people to make puppets, the Nevernight City would probably have been taken advantage of by Jin Guangshan.
There were other small families who were best at keeping a low profile and were not much inferior to Jin Guangshan in their approach. However, although they were tempted and had arranged actions, they did not have the endless supply of talents under Jin Guangshan's command, nor could they find another way like the Jiang family. Therefore, almost all the people they sent out were killed as sacrifices before they could be captured by Wen Ruohan and refined into puppets.
Outside the main hall on the top of the Nevernight Mountain, Wei Ying had already hidden himself, ready to seize control of the puppet from Wen Ruohan at any time. Jiang Yanli and Meng Yao were now leading the Jiang Clan's team, while Lan Zhan had been looking for Jiang Cheng from the beginning.
As for Jiang Cheng, he followed Wei Ying to protect his safety.
The most difficult things right now are the waves of puppets that never stop and don't feel any pain. Although these things are afraid of fire and can be completely burned to death by fire, the poisonous gas they release can easily infect a large number of living people, turning them into ready-made zombies or new puppets.
Even if one is scratched by these puppets, the corpse poison will quickly spread from the wound to the heart meridian, eventually turning the person into a zombie or a puppet.
So if this is not a good thing, Wen Ruohan’s puppet army will be inexhaustible!
Fortunately, if this thing's hands and feet were cut off, it would just lie on the ground and wriggle continuously, and would no longer pose a threat to people. Therefore, Jiang's disciples took the lead in tacitly cooperating in pairs to kill the enemies and made great military exploits. Later, Lan's and Nie's disciples followed suit. Only Jin's disciples, who were always in charge of logistics, did not need to show up on the battlefield, but would just follow behind everyone to take advantage.
Nie Mingjue didn't notice Jin's behavior, and even when Nie Huaisang told him about it, he didn't care; Lan Huan didn't care at all; Jiang Cheng was kind enough to remember it for Jin Guangshan.
Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying watched the cultivators below continue to fight with the puppets and win or lose, and quickly reminded Wei Ying who had already refined the Yin Iron Sword into a black jade flute: "Keep calm, the ones you are sending out now are all puppets, and it's a bit difficult because the place is small and it's not easy to use them. When you really reach the top of the mountain, you will have the chance to help."
Wei Ying's eyes were red as he finally responded, "Yes, I understand. I will wait until Wen Ruohan summons the evil corpse before I take action."
The resentment and negative energy emitted by the puppets slowly enveloped the entire Nevernight City. Jiang Cheng had already prepared a countermeasure for this. Every disciple of the Jiang family had taken the right elixir in advance, and they also carried a lot of talismans and elixirs to deal with various situations. The preparation was extremely sufficient.
Of course, the Lan and Nie families also received Jiang Cheng's reminder. Even Meng Yao spread the news to other large and small families, and raised a batch of herbs in advance and distributed them. It can be said that he was extremely thoughtful.
Hundreds of immortal families gradually approached the top of the mountain. Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng were also on high alert. At this moment, the only one who took the lead was Nie Mingjue. He actually broke through Wen Ruohan's heavy army of ferocious corpses and approached the central hall directly, which made Jiang Cheng secretly sweat for him.
Wen Ruohan's cultivation level and identity as the Immortal Supervisor are enough to explain all the problems. Especially now that he has probably refined the piece of Yin Iron fragment in his hand and created a large number of evil corpses, he will be even more difficult to deal with.
So Nie Mingjue flew backwards after a while. If it weren’t for his pretty good cultivation, he would probably have been unable to stand steadily.
