Chapter 69: The Good Disciples Had Returned
Jiang Yun laid on the recliner, numbly listening to the peac.o.c.k’s “tutu tutu” and the jujube tree’s “rustle rustle”. This peac.o.c.k was somewhat obsessive. It ate on time every day, and the jujube tree had always been very happy to it.
This peac.o.c.k was really self-familiar. After making sure that Jiang Yun would not kill it, it wandered around Jiang Yun’s barrier in the morning. In the name of scouting the enemy, it was actually just playing around.
Jiang Yun would change the scenery in his territory according to his mood from time to time. Under the warm spring sun, a patch of snow and red plums appeared. It was totally random. Even Kong Li, who thought he was knowledgeable, had become a frog at the bottom of a well. He knew nothing about Jiang Yun’s magical imagination.
When Kong Li was pecking the jujube tree for the first time, he was afraid that Jiang Yun would be angry and pull out his last few feathers. However, in this barrier, he could only transform into a human form and could not absorb spiritual energy to heal himself, so he had to resort to this method.
In fact, if he had promised Jiang Yun that he would not turn into a giant peac.o.c.k to cause damage, or if he had said some nice words to Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun would have released his control over him. However, this peac.o.c.k really had a bad mouth.
“Hey, this b.u.t.terfly doesn’t seem to be of much use. Let me help you eat it.”
Kong Li looked at the green jade b.u.t.terfly dancing in the flowers and asked if he could eat it. The jade b.u.t.terfly paused and immediately flew up high.
“Sure, if you eat it, I’ll pluck all your fur and roast you like a pheasant. Anyway, you don’t look useful.” Jiang Yun answered calmly without taking off the fan on his face.
“Fine, I won’t eat it. Why are you scaring me?” Kong Li pursed his lips and looked away regretfully.
Jiang Yun felt that he had been angered by these few hundred-year-old brats.
However, the system had told him that Kong Li’s bloodline and ident.i.ty were very special. He could almost be considered as the top one in the Divine Ao Continent’s food chain.
As long as he could take Kong Li in as a disciple, he would be rewarded with 10,000 experience points and could even level up his skills.
Jiang Yun was shamelessly tempted. Other people would at most let him obtained doubled the reward, but Kong Li was worth a hundred times better than the others!
Was this the legendary super lucky bag? When Jiang Yun learnt about it, he was prepared to take Kong Li in, but his mind immediately cleared up.
“Although I had an invincible absolute domain, if I offended the Great Peac.o.c.k King because of this, he would immediately come and surround me. I wouldn’t be able to take him in as disciple or gain any experience, and I would most probably be arrested. Moreover, in this way, there would be no difference between me and the He family, who would do anything to strengthen themselves. In the end, they would bring about their own destruction.” Jiang Yun had gotten over it.
Even if he were to raise Kong Li like a chicken, he would still be angered by his bad mouth from time to time, effectively preventing him from having low blood pressure.
Compared to Kong Li, Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji were simply too much of a relief to him. They were both nice and obedient. Jiang Yun missed them so much.
Jiang Yun fell asleep as he thought about it.
Kong Li tilted his head and looked at the sleeping Jiang Yun. He then looked at the attic that he had never visited before. He flicked his tail and walked in with small steps.
“Master! Help! Ahhh!” Jiang Yun was woken up by a cry for help. He sat up abruptly and the fan on his face fell to the ground. The bright red sunset shone on his face.
Jiang Yun shook his head and became a little more awake. What the h.e.l.l? Who was it that screamed so miserably?
He looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji, whom he had been thinking about this morning. However, the two of them looked extremely miserable.
Yu Sisi held the blood-stained Gu Tong Immortal Sword in one hand and a black ball in the other. Her clothes were torn as she ran towards him. She was still shouting,
“Master, master, the He family head and his son are here!”
Xiong Ji had turned back into a three-meter-tall black bear. He had a black ball in his mouth as well. He ran quickly on all fours, but he still followed closely behind Yu Sisi to block the attack from behind.
As the two of them ran straight up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, the snowy mountain was straight. Jiang Yun could not see the people behind them and thought that many people had come.
He quickly removed the barrier and allowed Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji to enter.
The two of them ran to Jiang Yun breathlessly. They had used up all of their spiritual energy and had no choice but to run.
At this moment, Jiang Yun finally saw what the black ball in He Xiong Ji’s mouth was — a human head.
“…”
Jiang Yun checked the system. As expected, he had received two experience points not long ago, increasing a total of 60 experience points.
When the thoughtful system saw that the host was sleeping, it deliberately muted his voice. Jiang Yun said, “Thank you so much.”.
“Why did you guys bring the heads back?”
Jiang Yun facepalmed. He was not surprised that they had killed two people to vent their hatred, but what kind of trick was it to bring along the heads? Were they afraid that he would think that they had not done anything outside?
Or did they suddenly have such a perverted hobby?
“Master, you don’t know. These two people killed an ordinary person without cultivation at the foot of the mountain. He…”
Xiong Ji looked at Jiang Yun’s strange gaze and hurriedly spat out the human head in his mouth and explained.
“Master, we are really not perverts. Don’t look at us like that.” Yu Sisi’s heart was also very twisted.
When the two of them saw Jiang Yun, the anger and hatred in their hearts inexplicably dissipated a lot. The calm Jiang Yun had this kind of magical aura.
The two of them didn’t have time to explain further. He Cangming and He Junjie had already led the remaining six disciples to charge forward.
He Zhao didn’t tell them about the barrier at all, so they directly fell into Jiang Yun’s absolute domain.
Jiang Yun thought, “Why are you guys so eager to give away your heads? Since you’re all here, let’s have some fun together.”
Jiang Yun stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the people behind them to arrive. However, after a while, there was no one else.
Jiang Yun looked at his disciples and asked, “Where are the rest? You guys escaped so miserably. There should be a lot of pursuers, right?”
Yu Sisi rubbed her nose awkwardly and transmitted her voice to Jiang Yun’s mind, “Master, only ten people came. We killed two of them. The remaining eight people are all here.”
Xiong Ji’s gaze was also erratic. They were being chased like stray dogs by only eight people. It was indeed a little embarra.s.sing. But they really could not beat the pursuers.
Jiang Yun was silent. Was he looked down by the He family? They just sent ten people?
“How many people does the He family have in total?” Jiang Yun asked Yu Sisi expressionlessly.
“About twenty thousand people.” Yu Sisi answered honestly. The He family was one of the three major forces in Thunder City. Their disciples, business managers, and the like were not smaller than a sect.
Jiang Yun’s face darkened. He was certain that the He family looked down on him.
“You’re Jiang Yun? Hmph, you’re just putting on air” He Junjie pointed his sword at Jiang Yun. His arrogance was no less than Kong Li’s when they first met.
He Junjie and the others did not speak when they first came up. Instead, they were sizing up Jiang Yun’s absolute domain. They could only see a circular barrier with a radius of a few hundred meters. Only the three people in front of them and a few magical beasts that had gained intelligence. They were very disdainful.
Moreover, Jiang Yun and Yu Sisi had the expressions of “are you looking down on me?” on their faces after a conversation.
Therefore, He Junjie asked directly. He planned to end the battle quickly and then go back to listen to the news of He Zhao’s death.
