Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1540 The Untamed 20

As soon as Jiang Cheng left, Lan Zhan followed him. Meng Yao was so busy after losing a great general that he had no time to rest. It was only when Jiang Yanli came back to help share a lot of the burden that he finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Looking at Meng Yao's small body, Jiang Yanli finally understood how the Jiang family had viewed her over the years. She quickly arranged elixirs and food for Meng Yao, which made Meng Yao flattered.

Jiang Yanli thought it was nothing. "Although Ah Cheng also said that you are a guest official, the token he gave you is the badge of the deputy head of the Discipline Hall. I guess he wants you to understand our Jiang family's code of conduct and style through the Discipline Hall first, and then make specific arrangements based on your own wishes."

The name of the Discipline Hall tells us that it is a place in charge of rewards and punishments, and the status of such a place is not low even within a small family. The position of deputy hall master sounds more clear and more powerful than the deputy envoy of the Nie family of Qinghe.

Meng Yao and Jiang Yanli got along harmoniously. On the other side, Wei Ying felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan coming together. Jiang Cheng had not yet realized that he and Lan Zhan were too close in the eyes of others, even to the point of being inseparable.

Jiang Cheng was only worried about Wei Ying at this time. When they parted before, Wei Ying was still a young man full of vigor and sunshine, but now, in just half a year, he was completely covered with a layer of gloom, which was very incongruous to look at.

Jiang Cheng suppressed his anger and heartache, and directly pulled Wei Ying into the house. He closed the doors and windows in broad daylight, and set up a barrier inside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. Lan Zhan, who followed behind but was locked outside the door, almost crushed the Bichen in his hand, but there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Cheng inside the door shouted, "Wei Wuxian!"

"What on earth do you have the ability to make yourself look like this?!"

Wei Ying tried hard to hide the bitterness in his heart, but when he saw the concern in Jiang Cheng's eyes, all his efforts were in vain. He put away the corners of his mouth that he had tried hard to hold up, and tears had already slipped down.

"Acheng, I didn't know it would be like this..."

Wei Ying's heart and eyes were filled with fear at this moment, but he had no regrets. It was just that at this moment, when he thought back to that day in Lan Qiren's class, he relied on his youth and vigor to say boldly, "Spiritual energy is also qi, resentment is also qi." He really wanted to applaud his young and ignorant self at that time.

As the person involved, Wei Ying should not have noticed his own changes so quickly, but he was a very sensitive person to begin with. So when his emotions got out of control for the second time, he realized that his resentment had affected his character, so he became more afraid to see Jiang Cheng, and even deliberately blocked the news from his side to Jiang Cheng.

But he was also subconsciously looking for ways to solve the problem, but the current serious situation did not allow him to think too much, let alone stop.

And Jiang Cheng was the only person he trusted wholeheartedly, so as soon as he saw Jiang Cheng, he couldn't help but completely reveal his panic and fear.

Jiang Cheng was overwhelmed by Wei Ying's move and hurried forward to check his pulse. Sure enough, Wei Ying's body was being eroded more and more seriously by the resentment. The seal he secretly left in his sea of consciousness last time had been assimilated by the resentment for the most part. It seemed that this method was useless.

If he didn't want Wei Ying to recall those unbearable things he had seen, Jiang Cheng really wanted to ask Wei Ying what on earth he had experienced in the past six months that made him unable to even protect his sealed sea of consciousness.

Wei Ying's condition was very bad. The condition of his Dantian and his sea of consciousness was similar, both of them were mostly eroded by resentment. The worst thing was that the golden elixir in his Dantian, which was originally round and emitted light blue and light purple colors, had now turned completely black, and runes similar to those on the Yin Iron appeared on it.

Originally this situation was not complicated. He only needed to take out anything from his own space to absorb the resentment. But now his soul was sealed and all the spaces could not be opened. Only a few storage bags refined in this world could be used, but there was nothing inside that could contain the resentment.

Seeing Jiang Cheng frowning, Wei Ying had almost adjusted his mood. He cheered himself up and smiled, comforting Jiang Cheng, "Okay, Cheng, as long as I stay true to my heart, resentment or anger will not affect me."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wei Ying, but he had already thought of a solution that wasn't a solution, "Ah Xian, quickly refine the Yin Iron Sword thoroughly. As long as it recognizes you as its master, you don't have to worry about it releasing its resentment and attacking you."

"At least this way, we won't have to worry about the resentment continuing to erode your spiritual consciousness and dantian."

Wei Ying felt warmed in his heart when he heard this. Jiang Cheng really saved him!

“A Cheng——” Wei Ying couldn’t help but burst into tears again.

Jiang Cheng sternly rebuked him to quickly refine the Yin Tie Sword, so that he would at least have a chance to hold on until all the Yin Tie fragments were gathered and not be completely eroded by the resentment. He would also be able to continue cultivating his spiritual power and would not be reduced to the point where he could only use resentment to cultivate.

Refining the Yin Iron Sword is not something that can be completed in a day or two. The other Jiang disciples completed the rotation according to the original arrangement, and Wei Ying, who was supposed to go back to the rear for a short rest, was directly kept by Jiang Cheng.

However, Lan Zhan felt more and more uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Cheng going in and out with Wei Ying every day. He wished that he was the only one who was so intimate with Jiang Cheng.

But he is kind-hearted by nature, and he also has some friendship towards Wei Ying, so he can only accept his fate and run around to take care of Wei Ying's situation, especially the Qingxin Yin that he has to play every day.

Lan Zhan’s behavior was so obvious, how could Wei Ying not see it?

However, he himself could not figure out what the situation was with Jiang Cheng for the time being, so he could only let Lan Zhan do everything he could to get closer to Jiang Cheng.

The Wen Clan of Qishan was indeed a great family that wanted to unify the world. Even though they had gathered the strength of hundreds of immortal sects, it still took them two full years to finally reach the city of Qishan Nevernight.

Qishan is certainly not an ordinary hill, and its name "The City That Never Sleeps" is well-deserved. There are layers of tall, solemn and beautiful buildings on it, and the lights at night alone can actually illuminate the surrounding sky.

Wen Ruohan's cultivation has reached the top level in this world. If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, who was cheating for no reason, Wen Ruohan would have been defeated only because his character and mind were affected by the Yin Iron, and he was besieged and ambushed.

When the situation was most critical, Meng Yao gritted her teeth and proposed to go undercover in Nevernight City, but Jiang Cheng did not agree. Although the situation on the battlefield was not favorable for the alliance of the hundreds of immortal families, ever since Wei Ying refined the Yin Iron Sword, it was destined that the piece of Yin Iron fragment in Wen Ruohan's hand could never be used by him again, so he was doomed to fail.
