Chapter 379: Encounter With Quick Escapes
The reality was just as Jiang Yun had predicted.
The big man with a full beard who recognized Jiang Yun was a disciple sent by the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to Mirage.
In the past, Jiang Yun fought two big battles against the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to help the Snow clan on North Mountain. Not only did the other demon races know about it, but also the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
However, the Ten Thousand Demons Cave always kept the details about Jiang Yun a secret.
Just like the Grand Medicine Sect, they kept it confidential. So the more than hundred disciples who came to Mirage only knew what Jiang Yun looked like, and the only description they had was four words – "Encounter, flee quickly!"
As for the Ghostly Samsara Hell, they had no idea about anything related to Jiang Yun.
Seeing the four people running further and further away, Jiang Yun could not let them escape!
Originally, he was just guessing about an alliance between the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and the other two major forces, but now that he saw and heard it with his own eyes, he was finally certain.
Since these three forces were so cruel, wanting to destroy his Seeking-Tao Sect and the Grand Medicine Sect, he no longer needed to be polite with them.
In the past, he had only suspected that these three forces were wicked, but now he knew for sure after witnessing their actions.
As Jiang Yun’s thoughts whirled in his mind, he suddenly raised his hand, and a palm-sized black shadow immediately flew out of his body and dashed towards the fleeing big man.
He took a step forward and stood in front of the other three people, saying coldly, "Did I let you go? Go back!"
While speaking, Jiang Yun waved his sleeve and a violent wave of energy gushed out, pushing the three people back several steps.
Just this move alone made the other two cultivators look shocked, indicating that Jiang Yun’s strength far exceeded theirs.
Only the man with a grimace, although aware that he was no match for Jiang Yun, remained calm and composed.
He even sneered, saying, "I have already informed my clan about you. If you kill me, you will immediately face an attack from my ghost clan!"
"Moreover, I am from the ghost clan, you cannot kill me!"
"Ghostly Samsara Hell!"
Jiang Yun said expressionlessly, "There has been a deep feud between us. Even if you don’t inform your people, I will find them one by one!"
"Also, who said I want to harm you!"
Jiang Yun’s expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of a smile as he said, "I won’t harm you because I need to conduct some small experiments on you to study something!"
The man with a calm face just a moment ago, after hearing Jiang Yun’s words, inexplicably shivered and felt a deep chill in his heart.
Without wasting more words, Jiang Yun directly punched the man, knocking him unconscious, and temporarily leaving him aside.
Jiang Yun never believed in the idea of being unkillable.
If that were true, what about the bodies of the Ghostly Samsara Hell disciples he had encountered along the way?
Furthermore, Jiang Yun wasn’t joking with him, but genuinely wanted to study him closely.
Firstly, he knew nothing about the ghost clan as a group, so although he had come across a few ghost clan bodies before, he didn’t want to tamper with the dead.
Secondly, his true purpose in studying the ghost clan was to uncover secrets about the soul body and possibly find an antidote for the Other Shore Soul Poison.
As the man with the scary face fainted, a distant scream could be heard.
Right after that, a black bat flew back from a distance and landed on Jiang Yun’s shoulder. Its two eyes, the size of soybeans, stared menacingly at the two remaining monks.
The two monks were already terrified. Now, facing the bat’s gaze, they couldn’t help but shiver.
They realized that under the bat’s stare, they couldn’t move a muscle. This could only mean that the bat was from the Sky Reaching Realm!
Of course, this was the Cold Dark-winged Bat.
Jiang Yun also looked at the two men.
Jiang Yun found the attire of the two men very unfamiliar, clearly not belonging to the five major sects or the Sea clan, but from some other minor factions.
"How did you end up with people from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?"
This was also puzzling for Jiang Yun.
Even though the Mirage was mostly occupied by the five major sects and the Sea Clan, there were also around three hundred people from other factions.
If these people are truly being recruited by places like the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, it would make things even harder for the Seeking-Tao Sect.
Hearing Jiang Yun’s question, one person bravely said, "We, we were forced to join them!"
"Forced? Bah!"
Just then, an angry voice came from the side, "When you attacked us earlier, your faces were full of excitement!"
With Lu Yourong’s support, Tang Yi slowly walked over, glaring angrily at the two of them.
Jiang Yun glanced at Tang Yi’s blood-stained body, not needing to ask any further. With a thought, the Cold Dark-winged Bat immediately turned into a black light and circled around the two cultivators.
As the Cold Dark-winged Bat returned to Jiang Yun’s shoulder, the bodies of the two men deflated like punctured balloons.
Jiang Yun’s sudden and decisive actions took even the angry Tang Yi by surprise, not expecting Jiang Yun to be so decisive.
Jiang Yun calmly said, "Regardless of whether they were forced, since they dared to attack our Seeking-Tao Sect, they must pay the price."
After standing still for a moment, Tang Yi suddenly clapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Yun, saying, "Martial Brother Jiang, you’re awesome! Sizzle!"
With that force, Tang Yi aggravated his injury, causing him to gasp in pain, while Lu Yourong couldn’t help but complain, "Be careful!"
"What’s there to be careful about? With Martial Brother Jiang here, we won’t die for sure!"
Disregarding the situation, Tang Yi thanked Martial Brother Jiang sincerely after speaking, clasping his hands together and bowing to Jiang Yun, "Thank you for saving my life!"
Lu Yourong also bowed in the same manner.
They thought they were doomed to die today, but they didn’t expect Jiang Yun to come to their rescue, allowing them to escape danger.
Jiang Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We are all fellow sect members, there’s no need to be formal."
"Tang Junior Brother, although your injury is not life-threatening, it’s still serious. You should tend to your wounds first. Otherwise, if you go alone to Yellow Springs Road, Lu, younger martial sister, will be all alone!"
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, Lu Yourong blushed immediately and couldn’t resist reaching out to lightly pinch Tang Yi, who just grinned and laughed.
Clearly, Jiang Yun heard Tang Yi confess his feelings to Lu Yourong just now.
Jiang Yun had a deep impression of Tang Yi.
When Jiang Yun first arrived at Seeking-Tao Sect and was constantly teased by Huo Yuan, it was Tang Yi who stood up and said some kind words for him.
Jiang Yun also greatly admired Tang Yi’s straightforward and generous personality.
"I will protect you while you heal!"
"Thank you, Martial Brother Jiang!"
Both of them knew it was not the time to be polite, so they sat down cross-legged and started healing with medicine.
Jiang Yun asked Cold Dark-winged Bat to guard them, while he went to the side of the man who was unconscious.
"Bai Ze, do you know about the ghost clan?"
"In this world, there is nothing I, Bai Ze, do not know. I am a knowledgeable Heavenly Demon…"
"Okay, please just say it!" Jiang Yun couldn’t stand Bai Ze boasting anymore and bluntly interrupted.
After grumbling unhappily, Bai Ze continued, "No need to look, this kid is not really part of the ghost clan, he just has a little ghostly aura!"
Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What exactly are real ghost clan members like?"
