Chapter 249: Vajra Body! Terrifying to This Extent! (Part 1)
"Elder Zhang, then... then I will take my leave first..."
Seeing Zhang Kun in a state of near madness, the inner sect disciple's voice trembled as he retreated toward the entrance.
He was afraid that he would be caught in the crossfire by this "crazy bull" in the next second.
"Wait! Stop!"
A thunderous shout exploded in his ears, making his whole body tremble, and he froze in place as if hit by a binding spell.
He raised his head with difficulty, and what came into view were Zhang Kun's copper-bell-like eyes full of violence; the veins on his dark face had not yet subsided, looking exceptionally terrifying.
"From now on, I have a task for you."
Zhang Kun stared at him, roaring like a wild bull:
"Go near Tianyun Peak and keep an eye on that gray-clad old thing's movements at all times!"
"As long as there is any sign of him leaving the sect gate, come and report to me immediately!"
"Do you understand!"
He was just crazy, not stupid.
Even though he hated Jiang Ye to the bone now, he couldn't really rush to Tianyun Peak and tear this damn old thing to pieces in front of so many people.
The only way was to wait for Jiang Ye to leave the sect gate and then look for an opportunity.
Hearing this, the inner sect disciple felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, secretly sighing at how unlucky he was to have been landed with this errand.
But facing Zhang Kun's terrifying gaze that allowed no refusal, he really didn't have the guts to shake his head, and could only bite the bullet and bow in response:
"Yes... Elder Zhang. This disciple will go and do it."
Zhang Kun waved his hand impatiently, and the disciple retreated from the courtyard as if granted amnesty.
Once the disciple's footsteps disappeared outside the courtyard wall, Zhang Kun cast his gaze toward Tianyun Peak again, his thick fingers clenching until they creaked.
Six wisps of Primordial Qi...
With Liu Qingyu's foundation, as long as nothing went wrong, entering the Primordial Realm was basically a certainty.
Once she successfully broke through to the Primordial Realm, she would truly have a firm foothold in the Upper Sect, and by then, the chips he had to manipulate her would only become fewer and fewer.
This woman, he, Iron Bull, must obtain.
The more he thought, the more anxious he became; the more anxious he became, the less he could think of a way, so he simply raised his huge fist and hammered his own head several times, blow after blow, making his scalp go numb.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, a flash of light erupted in his copper-bell-like eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted into a cold, chilling arc.
"Right..."
"How could I have forgotten this!"
"If the Tianqing Sect wants to stay in the Upper Sect, they need to pass an assessment!"
As a Primordial Realm Elder of Lingniu Peak, he naturally had the qualifications to be assigned as an examiner by the sect.
By then, as long as he volunteered and personally made a move on the martial arts stage, if that woman didn't want the Tianqing Sect to be eliminated, she would have to beg him to show mercy.
And as for the price of begging him, those who know, know.
"Hahahahaha!!!!!"
Zhang Kun, who had been full of violence a second ago, suddenly threw his head back and let out a wild laugh of a conspiracy about to succeed, making the tiles on the courtyard wall hum.
He seemed to have already seen the scene where Liu Qingyu's peerlessly beautiful face had to bow before him.
His dark face was full of irrepressible excitement, and even his breathing became rapid.
Tianyun Peak, Eastern Peak.
Jiang Ye was sitting cross-legged beside the Green Flame Herb field, his body shrouded in a layer of rich heaven-and-earth energy flowing slowly like a tide, polishing the Five Elements True Qi in his body to perfection, wisp by wisp.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes, a strange look flashing in his aged eyes.
An aura capable of triggering heaven-and-earth energy was approaching, yet it held no hostility, instead stopping outside the courtyard gate, seemingly waiting patiently.
A moment later, Lu Ming carefully walked to the courtyard gate, a look of disbelief on his chubby face, and lowered his voice to report: "Elder Jiang, Elder Zhu of the Wan Liu Sect has come to visit."
"Oh? An Elder of the Wan Liu Sect..."
Jiang Ye's brows lifted, a playful look flashing in his eyes.
He had pocketed all six wisps of Primordial Qi on Tianyun Peak; this Elder Zhu should have quite a bit of resentment toward him.
Now that he had come to the door voluntarily, this was interesting.
"Bring him in."
He waved his hand to signal Lu Ming to bring the person in, and he himself slowly stood up.
Before long, Zhu Junwen stepped into this quiet courtyard under Lu Ming's guidance.
He had changed into a brand-new light blue robe, and his whole person had returned to that elegant and composed appearance.
"Zhu Junwen of the Wan Liu Sect, greets Elder Jiang."
This Primordial Realm Elder bowed politely as soon as he entered the door.
Lu Ming's eyes went wide as he watched from the side.
As expected of Elder Jiang.
Even a Primordial Realm martial artist had to be polite when seeing him.
Lu Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed and retreated tactfully, not forgetting to gently close the courtyard gate before leaving.
"Elder Zhu coming to the door personally makes Jiang feel quite surprised."
Jiang Ye reached out to make a gesture of invitation to sit, his tone flat yet carrying a hint of inexplicable playfulness.
Zhu Junwen sat down at the stone table, a look of frank, bitter laughter appearing on his elegant face, his tone without the slightest concealment:
"Elder Jiang, because of sect interests, there may have been some friction between our Wan Liu Sect and your sect before."
"However, in this battle for the Primordial Qi on Tianyun Peak, Elder Jiang's methods truly opened Zhu's eyes."
"The six wisps of Primordial Qi all belong to your sect; Zhu is convinced."
He said this quite frankly, which actually made Jiang Ye feel slightly surprised.
In fact, after Zhu Junwen went back, he had thought through the matter from beginning to end.
From the very beginning, they had underestimated the Tianqing Sect too much.
They always felt that this group of bumpkins from Yunling Prefecture would be like the Qingyun Sect back then, unable to last even a few months under their joint exclusion, let alone snatch Primordial Qi.
But the facts gave all of them a fierce slap in the face.
This Elder Jiang was able to take away six wisps of Primordial Qi from under the hands of three Primordial Realm martial artists and retreat unscathed.
This strength and these methods...
He was truly impressed.
Moreover, the Tianqing Sect seemed to have Lu Guizhou, that Law Enforcement Hall Elder, standing behind them.
Since the rise of the Tianqing Sect could no longer be curbed, rather than walking down a dead end like Cheng Yuan, it was better to lower his status early and form a good relationship.
He was completely different from a madman like Cheng Yuan who let his emotions get the better of him.
He knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
Being on good terms with the Tianqing Sect was definitely more beneficial than harmful.
As he spoke, he took out a square token from his sleeve and placed it gently on the stone table, "It is shameful to say, Elder Jiang. This should count as my first time coming to 'visit'."
"There are three thousand anonymous contribution points in this token."
"Consider it a greeting gift for my new neighbor."
Jiang Ye was slightly startled.
Was this Elder of the Wan Liu Sect actually this sensible?
Three thousand contribution points right off the bat; one had to know this was three months' salary for an Elder-level person.
Come to think of it, apart from the brief exchange on the peak because of the Primordial Qi, the two sides truly hadn't formed any deep hatred.
Since the other party was showing goodwill voluntarily, he had no need to keep people at a distance.
Moreover, contribution points were exactly what he needed right now.
Jiang Ye smiled faintly and reached out to push the token beside the tea cup; although he didn't say any polite words, his actions had already indicated his attitude. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
