Chapter 119: Must Kill Them All!
(An extra update for the big boss who tipped "Quick Transmigration to Singing in a Refreshing Novel" for being mighty and fierce!)
"I... seem to have killed a woman."
Si Yuyan frowned deeply.
"Huh?"
Jiang Xun was also a bit dazed upon hearing this.
Killed a woman?
Tang Ying?
That doesn't seem very likely.
Not to mention that Tang Ying wasn't at the Great Vehicle Stage two thousand years ago, even now she probably shouldn't be at the Great Vehicle Stage.
Moreover, Jun Tianling and Tang Ying supposedly had a relationship later on, so it definitely couldn't be Tang Ying.
But it was quite bizarre that Tang Ying had previously asked Zhong Lingqing to kill anyone who came looking for her.
Can these two points be connected?
"What did that woman look like? Do you remember anything else?" Jiang Xun continued to ask.
"How should I describe it? That woman had small eyes, slightly thick eyebrows, almost no bridge to her nose, a small mouth, was a bit chubby, wore a white dress, and oh, she had a purple flute tucked at her waist."
Si Yuyan recalled.
Hearing this, Jiang Xun could basically confirm that the woman was definitely not Tang Ying. First of all, if it were Tang Ying, Si Yuyan would certainly have recognized her. Furthermore... it sounded like this woman wasn't very good-looking, and Jun Tianling's taste shouldn't be that poor.
"I didn't recall anything else."
Si Yuyan subsequently added.
Actually, she did recall some other things, mostly about the love and affection between her and Tang Ying, but she certainly wouldn't tell Jiang Xun about that!
It's just that she didn't know that if she had said she was in a romantic relationship with Tang Ying, Jiang Xun's head would be even more of a mess.
Because logically speaking, Si Yuyan already had her own physical body afterward and didn't need to stay inside the Soul Suppressing Sword.
Since she wasn't in the Soul Suppressing Sword, and the Soul Suppressing Sword that Jun Tianling carried with him didn't contain Si Yuyan, then how did Si Yuyan know the details of the romance between Jun Tianling and Tang Ying?
Unless she really was Si Yuyan.
But that didn't make sense either; Jiang Xun had faced Jun Tianling and Si Yuyan in person, so it was impossible for him to have misidentified them!
During the conversation, Jiang Xun had already caught up to Zhong Lingqing and Yin Ningyu using his Crimson Wings. To avoid flying past them, Jiang Xun retracted the Crimson Wings.
Sensing movement behind them, Zhong Lingqing and Yin Ningyu immediately turned around, but they didn't react for a moment upon seeing that somewhat unfamiliar face.
Zhong Lingqing had even drawn her sword.
"Sister, stop! It's one of our own!"
Jiang Xun shouted in a hurry. Just as he finished speaking, Zhong Lingqing's sword was already pressed against his throat.
Fast, it was simply too fast!
"Jiang Xun!" It was Yin Ningyu who recognized Jiang Xun first, and she was instantly stunned: "What's your situation? How come you are...?"
Yin Ningyu came before Jiang Xun, the joy in her eyes impossible to hide; this old man had become much younger.
"Jiang Xun?" Zhong Lingqing was also taken aback, slowly retracting her sword.
"I've been focusing on cultivation for two days, and my body has recovered a bit," Jiang Xun laughed.
"That's great, you look like you're about to break through," Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun with a happy face.
"Let's attend to business first," Jiang Xun gently patted Yin Ningyu's head: "On the way here, I thought about it; I could send a message to Cang Xingling of the Canghe Dynasty to see if she can help."
"No, no, no," Yin Ningyu waved her hands quickly: "The Canghe Dynasty owes you a Soul Returning Pill, which extended the Canghe Dynasty's lifespan by a thousand years and perhaps even saved the future of the Canghe Dynasty. They owe you too much; it cannot be used in this kind of place."
"What are you saying?" Jiang Xun patted Yin Ningyu's bottom: "What matter could be bigger than your matter? Today, this Chen Mo won't be able to escape."
"Jiang Xun..." Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun with a moved expression upon hearing this.
"... Ahem, although I hate to interrupt your lovey-dovey moment, since you have this connection and are willing to use it, wouldn't it be better to just have the Canghe Dynasty send over a Human Pill of the Void Refinement Realm? That way, you wouldn't have to risk being targeted by the Baiyun Sect."
Zhong Lingqing gave a dry cough and said.
"And while you're at it, ask for a Human Pill of the Integration Realm..."
She subsequently added.
The so-called Human Pill refers to when someone possessing a Supreme Position is captured without being killed.
When one's own side needs a Supreme Position, they then have their own people kill this person and take their Supreme Position.
"That won't do," Jiang Xun shook his head: "Asking them not to let the Pingchuan Third Prince interfere is a small matter of a single sentence; the favor is completely not repaid. But if you want a Human Pill of the Void Refinement or Integration Realm, that is a completely different story."
"Hey, why do I feel like something is strange?" Yin Ningyu frowned upon hearing this: "Did I... waste my emotions?"
"I knew you wouldn't let the Canghe Dynasty repay such a massive favor so easily," Zhong Lingqing rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun, saying with a knowing look.
Jiang Xun smiled without saying much, then sent a message to Cang Xingling.
This Communication Jade Tube of Cang Xingling's was truly unique.
The entire Jade Tube was golden in color. This kind of Jade Tube was not only exclusive, but the speed of transmission was very fast—it was instantaneous.
In other words, as Jiang Xun spoke here, she could hear it immediately on her end.
To put it plainly, it was a mobile phone.
But this kind of thing wasn't something just anyone could use.
Firstly, only members of the imperial family could craft such Jade Tubes. Secondly, one of the parties communicating must have imperial blood; otherwise, Spirit Energy could not be transmitted, and having any number of Golden Message Jade Tubes would be useless.
"The Pingchuan King's Third Prince? Cangxinghe, that guy isn't very easy to talk to."
Cang Xingling replied.
The meaning of these words was: I can help you with this matter, but if you want me to help for free, that won't do!
Perhaps the Canghe Dynasty owes you, but I, Cang Xingling, don't owe you anything. The Soul Returning Pill was something you exchanged with me for Zhang Yuan; that was a trade.
"Just consider it a return for that Supreme Mahayana Pill I gave you," Jiang Xun laughed.
"... Then you wait a moment," Cang Xingling replied after a moment of thought; she really had nothing to say about this Supreme Mahayana Pill, as it was an extra, meant for making friends, after all.
"I'll wait for your good news. Just make sure he doesn't interfere, and don't expose our identities," Jiang Xun nodded.
"Got it, got it. You really have some nerve, hijacking a ship of our Canghe Dynasty," Cang Xingling rolled her eyes.
The reason Cang Xingling hesitated was because this was a ship of the Canghe Dynasty; if the ship were intercepted and people from the Baiyun Sect died, Cang Xingling would have to waste her breath convincing the Canghe Dynasty not to intervene in this matter and to suppress it.
This was the most troublesome part.
Afterwards, Cang Xingling cut the connection and went to contact Cangxinghe.
The three of them continued to follow the airship, and it wasn't long before Cang Xingling replied; Cangxinghe had already left the airship and told them to do as they pleased, but they had to kill everyone on the entire airship and do it cleanly.
Otherwise, if word got out that the Canghe Dynasty's ship guards ignored the ship running off, the Canghe Dynasty wouldn't be able to continue their airship business.
"This..." Hearing that everyone had to be killed, Yin Ningyu hesitated again.
"Leave the others to me," Jiang Xun patted Yin Ningyu's shoulder gently to comfort her; he was a proper demonic cultivator, after all, and he wouldn't care about the lives of these people.
