Chapter 712: Taoist Friend Gu Jiang
While Peach Blossom City sounded great, it wasn’t tempting enough for Jiang Yun.
For Jiang Yun, the resources needed for cultivation and the poisonous gases in the air were not immediate concerns.
However, the man’s final words finally touched Jiang Yun and made him feel moved.
Of course, not just Jiang Yun, but every prisoner in Dao Prison would be moved.
Although the man didn’t say it directly, his words implied that there might be a way to escape Dao Prison hidden in Peach Blossom City.
Jiang Yun knew that such rumors were likely just hearsay and gossip.
Many people had already gone to Peach Blossom City to investigate the rumor, but they had found nothing.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!
Even if there was no smoke, Jiang Yun still wanted to visit Peach Blossom City himself.
Even if there was only a slight possibility of escaping Dao Prison, he wouldn’t miss it.
Despite being tempted, Jiang Yun didn’t immediately agree but instead asked the man, "You mentioned earlier that your family is near Peach Blossom City?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s question, the man couldn’t help but straighten his chest and proudly replied, "Yes, our family often visits Peach Blossom City!"
The man’s expression, especially his proud demeanor, showed that he was clearly very proud of his family.
The reason he is so proud is because his family is very powerful.
However, Jiang Yun felt a little doubtful in his heart.
Among the sixteen guards who died in the fire rain before, the strongest one was only a cultivator in the Tao Spiritual Realm.
This man is also the young master of the family.
Even if a family has many young masters, it should not be considered low if the other family is really powerful and only sent a few people to protect him.
Therefore, Jiang Yun knew there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that the man is lying, and his family is not as strong as he claims.
The second possibility is that his title as young master may not be accurate.
Seeing the genuine pride on the man’s face, Jiang Yun ruled out the first possibility.
"Being a young master, not being very valued within the family, interesting."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but look at the man again.
The man appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with clear eyes. Although not very handsome, the sense of superiority stemming from his powerful family showed in his every move, giving him a unique charm.
Feeling Jiang Yun’s gaze, the man suddenly slapped his head heavily, bowing with clasped hands, "I’m sorry, I still haven’t asked for the honorable sir’s name. I’m Liu Peng!"
Jiang Yun provided his fake name, "Gu Jiang! You don’t have to call me any honorific titles!"
"Well, Gu Jiang… my taoist friend, have you considered my suggestion about returning to the family with me?"
The title that Liu Peng used for Jiang Yun had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
In the world of cultivation, titles represent status and position, very important.
Although Jiang Yun had saved his life, Liu Peng noticed that Jiang Yun didn’t look much older than himself. Even if he was a bit stronger in power, it was limited. Therefore, the title of taoist friend was a kind of respect.
However, he had no idea of Jiang Yun’s true power. Even his ancestor from the family dared only to call him "taoist friend."
With Liu Peng’s strength and status, calling Jiang Yun "taoist friend" was already a kind of disrespect.
Fortunately, Jiang Yun didn’t care about these things. Besides, with a frown on his face at the moment, he was really having a hard time deciding whether to go to the Liu family.
According to his original plan, he would stay by Firebird’s side until he nurtured his Fire Tao Spirit, and then find a way to leave Dao Prison.
And now, there was a chance to leave Peach Blossom City. Although he could go there on his own, being unfamiliar with the place, going there directly might cause unnecessary trouble.
If he could go to the Liu family and enter Peach Blossom City under the Liu family’s name, it would be much more convenient.
But, if he left Firebird, where would he go to find the fireball rain in the future?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yun looked at Liu Peng and asked, "Does Peach Blossom City nearby often get attacked by fireball rain?"
Liu Peng thought Jiang Yun asked this question because he was worried about the threat of fireball rain, so he quickly explained, "Not often, only once or twice a year, and we have specific methods to resist this kind of fireball rain."
"Although the power of this fireball rain is indeed terrifying, as long as you prepare in advance, it generally won’t pose much of a threat."
Liu Peng’s response made Jiang Yun feel somewhat disappointed.
Imagine if this Liu family and Peach Blossom City were always under the cover of fireball rain, how wonderful that would be!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun asked again, "How far is your home from here?"
"It’s about ten thousand miles away. But Taoist Friend Gu, don’t worry. I will crush the Communication Stone now. It won’t take long for my family to send someone to pick me up."
In other worlds, a distance of ten thousand miles is nothing for a cultivator in the fairyland. But in this Dao Prison, where people are cautious about using spirit energy and their bodies are weaker, a distance of ten thousand miles is quite far.
"Alright, you stay inside this Reincarnation Cave, inform your family to come get you. I have some matters to attend to, so once I’m done, I will come back and give you an answer!"
"Okay!"
Liu Peng naturally didn’t ask much, and after Jiang Yun walked out of the Reincarnation Cave, his divine sense spread out and appeared directly next to the Firebird.
When Jiang Yun appeared, Firebird said without hesitation, "Let’s go!"
"Wait!" Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Lord of Fire, can we discuss one more thing?"
"What is it?"
"Do you know Peach Blossom City?"
"Yes, I do!"
"I just saved someone who invited me to his clan, which is near Peach Blossom City. Are you interested in going there with me?"
This was Jiang Yun’s idea. If Firebird agreed to enter the Liu family with him, it would be a win-win situation.
This way, he could explore the secrets of Peach Blossom City and not miss the meteor shower.
However, he also knew that getting Firebird to agree to this condition was a bit unrealistic, as Firebird preferred to avoid contact with other beings.
Therefore, he also prepared a lot of Beast Cores as bait.
However, to his surprise, after Firebird rolled its eyes a few times, it nodded and said, "It’s impossible for me to go to their family with you. But I can find a place nearby to stay. If you need to find the Fireball Rain, I will take you there!"
"But remember, don’t have less than nine Beast Cores a day!"
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Yun quickly nodded and said, "No problem, let’s wait a few days and then go to Peach Blossom City with that person."
The Fire Spirit shook its body, and all its red feathers turned black. At this moment, it looked so inconspicuous that no one would associate it with the Fire God.
"I won’t wait, I’ll go ahead to wait for you near Peach Blossom City! Give me the Beast Cores for these days in advance!"
After Jiang Yun handed enough Beast Cores to Firebird, it immediately flew up into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Watching Firebird disappear, suddenly Jiang Yun felt a sense of being deceived.
"Could it be that Firebird won’t show up again…?"
