Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Although Xuan Yin Prefecture and Tai Yu Prefecture are two adjacent prefectures, it still takes Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing quite a while to reach Cuihua Lake, located in the heart of Xuan Yin Prefecture, from near Yao Guang City.

During the time they were away from Taiyu Mansion, in order to prevent Zhuge Jingxing from being found by the Nine Dragons Gang's subordinates, Jiang Xiaochuan specially dressed him up before setting off, which was a simple disguise.

The two traveled day and night, and after more than two months, they finally arrived at a town on the border of Taiyu Prefecture.

When the two entered the town, it was already sunset.

For more than ten days, the two had been spending their time in the forests and mountains. Upon arriving in this relatively sparsely populated town, Jiang Xiaochuan decided to stay at the town's inn for a day to rest and recuperate.

Zhuge Jingxing also agreed to Jiang Xiaochuan's proposal.

The two had been extremely cautious since they set out, and thanks to Jiang Xiaochuan's exceptional perception, they managed to evade wave after wave of the Kowloon Gang's henchmen.

This period of hiding lasted for more than a month. After that, the number of people searching for Zhuge Jingxing gradually decreased until they all disappeared.

When Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing entered the inn, there were still several tables of guests inside. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they were all travelers who were passing through and preparing to stay overnight.

One of the women sitting in the corner caught Jiang Xiaochuan's attention from the moment she entered.

It wasn't that Jiang Xiaochuan was experiencing his first love and was attracted by the woman's appearance, but rather that he could sense that the woman was a man in disguise!

If it weren't for his extraordinary perception, he wouldn't have been able to discover this person's secret, because this person's appearance and temperament were almost perfectly natural.

Jiang Xiaochuan secretly admired such superb disguise skills.

As Jiang Xiaochuan was observing the woman, she also glanced at him, seemingly unintentionally.

The moment their eyes met, the woman was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded slightly at Jiang Xiaochuan.

"interesting."

Jiang Xiaochuan immediately pulled Zhuge Jingxing to sit in front of the woman's seat.

Zhuge Jingxing naturally noticed the rather ambiguous eye contact between Jiang Xiaochuan and the woman.

After the waiter left after taking their order, Zhuge Jingxing quietly asked Jiang Xiaochuan, "Brother Jiang, you wouldn't be interested in—" He glanced at the woman behind him as he spoke.

"what?!"

Jiang Xiaochuan was taken aback by Zhuge Jingxing's question, then quickly shook his head in denial, "How could that be! I don't have that kind of hobby! Don't think nonsense!"

"I don't have that hobby..."

Zhuge Jingxing repeatedly pondered Jiang Xiaochuan's words. Then, recalling the care Jiang Xiaochuan had given him along the way, as well as the fact that Jiang Xiaochuan had specially rescued him from his home and escorted him to Xuanyin Mansion from afar, a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind.

If, if Brother Jiang were to treat me... it wouldn't be impossible...

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Zhuge Jingxing was startled and immediately shook his head violently, tilting his head back to gulp down a whole cup of cold tea.

Although Jiang Xiaochuan noticed Zhuge Jingxing's strange behavior, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he listened to the quiet conversations of the diners at the next few tables.

"Have you heard about the auction held by the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce in Yaoguang City a while ago?"

"Of course I've heard! They say the final item in the auction is a top-grade pill, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Of course it's true! And the person who ultimately won the bid for this top-grade pill is someone you would never expect!"

"Who is it? Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious."

Jiang Xiaochuan, who was eavesdropping nearby, was also intrigued.

After all, the person who won the Wood Spirit Pill had 'clashed' with him several times at previous auctions.

This person was someone he both loved and hated.

The next moment, Jiang Xiaochuan heard the man say, "The one who won the bid for this top-grade pill is Ling Daochen!"

"Ling Daochen? Who is that? That name sounds so familiar."

"Ling Daochen—Ling Dao—I remember now!! You're talking about Ling Daochen, the Dao Child of Zixiao Dao Palace!!"

"That's right! It's him!"

"What?! It's actually the Daoist of Zixiao Dao Palace! I knew that name sounded so familiar! But Shenxiao Mountain is far away in Lingzhou, so how could Daoist Ling appear in our Yunzhou without a word?"

"I heard he went on a journey to seek a breakthrough opportunity. But what I want to talk about is not just that Ling Daozi won the bid for that top-grade pill, but that he later actually killed three Mountain Shaking Realm cultivators and one Golden Light Realm cultivator on the way!!"

"What did you say?!"

"This is impossible!"

"How could it be impossible! Many powerful figures witnessed that breathtaking battle firsthand! That final move, the 'Purple Cloud Thunder Control Technique,' was used in full view of everyone. How could it be faked?"

Upon hearing this, the two who had been questioning him were instantly speechless, exchanging bewildered glances, their shock palpable.

Then, the two pressed for details about the battle.

Jiang Xiaochuan, standing to the side, remembered the names 'Zixiao Dao Palace' and 'Ling Daochen'.

"Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan lost in thought, Zhuge Jingxing, who was sitting opposite him, asked him a question.

Because of the limitations of his cultivation level, Zhuge Jingxing did not hear the whispers of those people.

"It's nothing, eat up."

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head, offering no further explanation.

The food was now served, and Jiang Xiaochuan picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

But before he could even take a few bites, Jiang Xiaochuan was once again drawn to the conversation of those people.

This time, the group was no longer discussing the topic of Ling Daochen, but rather the great battle between the Zhuge family and the Nine Dragons Gang.

From the conversation, Jiang Xiaochuan learned that the great battle lasted for nearly two days, and the battlefield stretched for more than ten miles!

Within this area of ​​several miles, there is no intact place left; the mountains have collapsed, the trees have been destroyed, the earth has shattered, and the rivers have flowed backward.

All the top experts of the Zhuge family perished in this battle.

The strongest patriarch, Zhuge Ye, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Light Realm, died the most tragically. He used self-destruction to blast Tu Nian, the leader of the Nine Dragons Gang, into pieces.

Yu Lengjiao, the third dragon leader, was also dragged down by Zhuge Jin and perished together.

It can be said that although the Kowloon Gang achieved a final victory, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

However, due to the power of the Kowloon Gang, no other forces dared to stand up and confront them at this time. After the Zhuge family was destroyed, Yaoguang City was naturally occupied by the Kowloon Gang.

The group only briefly mentioned the mysterious figures in white cloaks who secretly helped the Kowloon Gang deal with the Zhuge family, saying they were rogue cultivators recruited and invited by the Great Dragon Leader in the martial arts world.

But Jiang Xiaochuan, who had fought against him, knew that the truth was clearly not so.

Given the white-cloaked man's strength and the strange techniques he used, it was clear that he was not someone a rogue cultivator could possess.

Jiang Xiaochuan wasn't particularly concerned about the specific identities of these people in white cloaks.

Anyway, the matter is over. As long as these people stop bothering him, he doesn't care who they are or what their purpose is.
