Jiang Ning didn't hear the little Taoist boy's voice. He held his crutch tightly and moved forward cautiously.
The breeze blew across his face, carrying a touch of green air and the fragrance of unknown wild flowers, which was refreshing. Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and his original dull mood seemed to have improved a lot.
According to the map jade slip given by the little Taoist boy, Jiang Ning slowly explored and found that he did not go wrong.
From time to time there were Shangqing disciples passing by, some of them were still talking about him and saying unpleasant things, but Jiang Ning didn't pay attention.
"We're going up, and when we reach the top of the mountain, it should be Headmaster Wen's palace." Half an hour later, Jiang Ning stopped aside, wiped the sweat on his temples with his shoulder, and murmured.
I have lost my cultivation and my body is like that of an ordinary person. After climbing the mountain road for only half a stick of incense, I clearly feel that my body is beginning to be unable to bear it.
Jiang Ning sighed and was about to continue, but suddenly he took back his raised foot.
He felt that there seemed to be something blocking him in front of him.
Although his body was disabled and his eyesight was dim, as a cultivator, his intuition was still there. Therefore, Jiang Ning stabilized his mind and focused all his attention on his hearing, trying to use his hearing to judge what was in front of him.
"Breathe...and have a heartbeat!"
The person standing in front of me is a person!
"This junior brother..." Hearing the sound of breathing and heartbeat, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked first, "Is this the way to the headmaster's hall?"
Jiang Ning didn't think much about it and just regarded him as a disciple of the Taoist Academy.
However, the person in front of him did not answer his question. Instead, after a brief silence, he said, "Are you Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning was not surprised when the other party said his name.
Wen Fengming is the headmaster of the Taoist Academy, and his every move will be watched by everyone. Now that he has brought back a living person from the terrifying sea of life and death, it is not surprising that the disciples below know about it.
"It's me." Jiang Ning admitted his identity generously.
The man continued: "That's it, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Waiting for yourself?
Jiang Ning felt doubtful in his heart and asked, "Huh? I wonder why my junior brother is waiting for me here?"
Hearing this, the man sighed and said, "I'll give you a ride."
Jiang Ning frowned. From the other party's tone, he heard a hint of murderous intent.
The person in front of me wants to kill him!
"You want to kill me, why?" Jiang Ning didn't panic, he just asked calmly.
The headmaster of Shangqing saved him, but now his disciples want to kill him. There seems to be something fishy in this.
"Forget it, I just want you to die and understand." There was no emotion in this person's tone, and he said slowly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Si Yuenan. I am the Taoist disciple of Shangqing, and I am my disciple.
The headmaster of the Taoist Academy is the young sect of the Taoist Academy, and now I am acting as the master’s temporary headmaster.”
Si Yuenan...Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he had heard of this name before, and it was someone who was often mentioned in the mouth of the little boy.
In an instant, Jiang Ning understood.
"Si Yuenan, no need to introduce you, I know you. So, I seem to understand something. I guess coming here is not the only place to go to the master's palace. It was you who asked Zhizhi to give me a fake map to guide you.
I'm here, but you, the dignified headmaster, go to such great lengths to kill me, for what purpose?"
Before Jiang Ning lost his cultivation level, he was still in the Yangshen realm and was only one step away from the semi-immortal realm. How could such a person be a fool?
Combining the clues, he quickly figured out some of the things, but there were some things that he still hadn't figured out yet, which was why Si Yuenan wanted to kill him?
You must know that Jiang Ning has not only lost his cultivation, but also has his arms broken and his eyes blind. If he is placed in the Shangqing Taoist Temple where there are so many talented people, he cannot become a threat to anyone.
Si Yuenan raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened to Jiang Ning's words.
The blind man with a broken arm in front of him seems to be a bit extraordinary. In just a few words, he can actually guess that Zhi Zhi was lured here under his orders.
"Yes, you are indeed somewhat smart." Si Yuenan admitted generously.
As a Taoist, he has his own pride. He did it by himself, so he admits it openly. He just killed a cripple anyway, so there is nothing to worry about.
"As for why I killed you, do you really not know or do you pretend that you don't know?" However, Si Yuenan's tone became more angry in the following words.
Jiang Ning was baffled by what he heard. He really didn't know.
"Appreciate further details."
Si Yuenan's beautiful eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc, examining Jiang Ning's expression. After confirming that Jiang Ning was indeed unaware, he said, "Do you know what kind of heavy damage Shangqing Taoist Temple has suffered now because of you?"
"Master, his old man died and stayed in the Sea of Life and Death forever. And Master, in order to bring you back, the three souls and seven souls were almost scattered. Now, several restricted areas are taking the opportunity to join forces to counterattack the Jiuzhou Continent. Five
The four sects of the courtyard even came to ask for an explanation!"
"And you, Jiang Ning, are the culprit of all this!"
Si Yuenan's voice was not loud, but his suppressed anger could be heard. If he had not had other plans, when Jiang Ning appeared just now, he would have crushed every bone in his body into powder inch by inch.
When Jiang Ning heard his words, his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
The leader of the Shangqing Taoist Temple is dead, Wen Fengming was almost dispersed by others, and the restricted area joins forces to counterattack the mainland, and the Shangqing Taoist Temple is in danger...
How come I didn’t know anything about what Si Yuenan said!
"How could it be like this? Impossible, absolutely impossible. You are lying. The leader of the Shangqing Dao is a land god. How could he die..." Jiang Ning felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and he faintly
They were all a little unsteady on their feet.
As if pouring out all the grievances he had held in his heart for a long time, Si Yuenan took a long breath and said, "Tell me, shouldn't you die?"
Jiang Ning staggered, reaching out to find something nearby to help him, but there was nothing around him. After the force, he fell directly to the ground, in a miserable state.
I had been recuperating in Shangqing Taoist Temple for so long, but I didn't hear any news. If Si Yuenan hadn't said it today, I might not have noticed it when the enemy attacked.
"So, you want to use my head to appease the anger of the four sects of the Fifth Academy." Jiang Ning clenched his teeth and trembled all over.
Not fear, but anger!
I was angry that I had caused so much trouble to the four sects of the Fifth Academy, and I also hated my lack of ability for not being able to kill more old ghosts when I was in the Sea of Life and Death.
Now, they are forcing them to come to our door!
However, Si Yuenan's words made Jiang Ning freeze on the spot.
"So, your head can not only calm the anger of the five courtyards and four sects, but also calm the anger of the restricted area of life. Over the years, no one has ever been able to escape from the sea of life and death alive, but you have used despicable means to take advantage of the master.
He and his master escaped, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the sea of life and death."
"So, only if you die can the sea of life and death calm the anger."
