Chapter 59

"Sorry, I mistook you," Tao Wenche, who happened to be picking items at the neighboring stall, saw the commotion here and swiftly slipped between Jiang Yu, the three and that person.

"Senior sister?" Guan Xuner couldn't help sending a voice, staring at Jiang Yu who was watching that person.

Jiang Tu also sent a voice, "Cover me, I'll slip into your sleeve; this person seems a bit off."

Jiang Yu also sensed something strange; she would never mistake someone, yet her older brother, a few years senior, couldn't recognize her?

"Jiang Tu, bring the prepared Kin-Search Ruler with you."

Inside the expensive azure jade ruler she bought, a drop of her pure blood is sealed; if a close relative is within two or three li, it will flash to indicate.

While she patted her spirit-beast pouch, Jiang Tu darted into the sleeve at speed.

The person opposite continued to size up Jiang Yu, offering no response.

Instead, the person beside him spoke again: "Cultivator Tao, do you think she mistook someone?"

"Jiang junior brother, she just called you big brother, she meant Qing brother…"

Tao Wenche, hearing this, was startled and hurriedly said, "Mo, be careful with your words, my junior disciple entered the sect when he was young and has never left the sect."

He has never had any dealings with your Hehuan Sect.

The three characters "Hehuan Sect" were pronounced heavily, causing Guan Xuner and Senior Sister Gu to glance again at Jiang Yu's expression.

She slowly withdrew her delight, saying, "So you're a cultivator from the Demon Sect."

"Little sister, even within the Demon Sect you're still a cultivator.

"Our love and hate are clear, and we're stronger than some pretentious ones." The young man surnamed Mo winked at the three girls with flirtatious eyes.

Tao Wenche sent a voice to Jiang Yu, noting that the other party was a demon cultivator and could be approached privately later if needed.

Jiang Yu waited a few breaths, nodded only after Jiang Tu said they could leave, but the person she had called hesitated and spoke, "Little sister? You are Jiang Yu."

"Huh, you are Jiang Yu, the Grand Void Sect disciple who drew the broken sword from the Sword Pool." The young man surnamed Mo raised his voice slightly, instantly drawing the attention of many cultivators nearby.

"Little sister, it really is you. I, your elder brother, never expected you were still alive.

"Come, let's go to the tea pavilion and chat." The person looked somewhat excited and reached out to pat Jiang Yu's shoulder.

"It's over!"

Tao Wenche had been worried about this, but he didn't expect Jiang Yu to step back and ask, "When did you join a sect, are your parents still alive?"

"Little sister." The person pressed an empty space, "Do you think your elder brother is a Hehuan Sect disciple?"

"No." At first, Jiang Yu noticed the Kin-Search Ruler reacting but not moving, yet she subconsciously followed Jiang Tu's warning.

"Let's talk on this open ground; I want to know about your parents." Jiang Yu didn't expect that a sibling reunion would take this form.

The surprise of seeing a relative turned into fear; Jiang Tu said her elder brother might have been possessed and taken over by someone.

"Yo, is this really brother and sister? Tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Xiaoyou, a Dao Sect disciple, yet has a Demon Sect elder brother." Xue Miao, whose arrival time was unclear, stood among the crowd watching.

A few sect disciples nearby also turned to look at Jiang Yu.

Someone said, "A few years ago, many sects discovered numerous hidden Demon Sect disciples."

Immediately someone retorted, "Hmph, in our Heavenly Demon Sect we've also uncovered a few Dao Sect disciples."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Yu seized the moment when the two Demon Sect disciples faced their companions, quickly slipped out of the crowd, glanced back, and the hesitant person followed.

Tao Wenche stopped Guan Xuner and Gu Bingwen from following, saying, "Those two are at the Foundation Establishment stage; you go fetch Xia Bing and Xu Nuo."

After speaking, he chased after them; Xue Miao's eyes flickered, and he sent a voice token, bringing others to pursue.

Those who were just there for fun also hurriedly followed to see what was happening.

But as they caught up, they saw Jiang Yu on the open ground swiftly planting several formation flags; the array light flashed together: "Elder brother, speak inside the soundproof array."

"Jiang Du, is it really your sister? This can't be a trap." The young man surnamed Mo hadn't expected that even a simple conversation required an array; Dao Sect disciples are indeed scheming.

Jiang Du tightened his brow, yet said, "It really is my sister; Brother Mo, shall we go together?"

"I'll wait for you outside." Brother Mo chose not to enter the array set by the Dao cultivator.

Jiang Du merely stepped to the outside of the array gate and said, "Little sister, casting a barrier is the same."

"He doesn't dare to come in." Jiang Tu sent a voice from within his sleeve pouch.

Jiang Yu was about to speak when a booming shout rang in the air: "Stop!"

Whoosh

A shadow shot forward, colliding Jiang Du and Jiang Yu into the array together, causing a spiritual giant claw that had flashed in the air to miss.

Over here, Tao Wenche, as soon as he ran to the array, was flung away by the raised giant claw.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his sword flipped swiftly in the air, and seeing the giant claw about to strike the array, he quickly sent a message to Master Sang Zhenren.

The crowd that had followed to watch the spectacle saw the giant claw moving faster than a rabbit.

It should be known that only a Nascent Soul cultivator can condense a spiritual-force palm; life is at stake.

Nearby high-level cultivators had already sensed the anomaly; two Nascent Soul True Lords from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect floated in, raised their hands, and unleashed sword light to slash the giant claw.

"So it is Dragon King Ao Ze's arrival; I wonder why you've come here to attack our human cultivators."

"I was chasing a young one of our clan; I told you people to release it."

"Hmph, this place is also the border of my Yao Race; can the king not come?" The Dragon King withdrew his claw, and his followers arrived with his voice.

"What a coincidence?" the two Nascent Souls expressed doubt; they intended to startle the Yao Race of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, not the sea's Dragon Race.

Without discussing how the two sides negotiated, just note that Jiang Tu was inside the array.

It looked at the array board cracked by the Dragon King's giant claw and said, "Why did a severely wounded little dragon run here? Jiang Yu, you aren't hurt, are you?"

Speaking, its forelimb surged with mana, helping to push the two overturned people and the small figure with dragon horns on its head away.

Jiang Yu, supporting her dizzy head, sat up; her head, still reeling from the collision, was dizzy, but she saw her "elder brother" lying unconscious beside her, so she grabbed the main formation flag on the ground and sealed the array tightly.

Unexpectedly, "elder brother" Jiang Du suddenly opened his eyes, snatched the flag with one hand, and silently shot a dark aura at her: "What are you doing? I am your elder brother."

Jiang Yu leaned back, dodged the needle‑shaped magical device he fired, swiftly triggered her defense bracelet, and a white light shield instantly protected her.

"I'm just trying to stabilize the formation."

"It really is fake." Jiang Tu, as Jiang Yu rolled backward, flew toward "big brother" and launched a water net to entrap him.

"Big brother" dodged urgently, but did not expect Jiang Yu's formation flag to sweep, and he was instantly trapped by four beams of formation light.

"Little sister, it's a misunderstanding, I thought I was under attack.

Let me go first." I was careless; I shouldn't have stood at the formation gate entrance.

And I shouldn't have, in my muddled mind, misread the opponent's move.

But Jiang Yu not only ignored him, she kept waving the formation flag to reinforce the trap, "If it's a misunderstanding, we'll talk later."

Jiang Tu also leapt forward to cast, tightening the water net that bound them.

Jiang Du, seeing they refused to release, realized the other side was suspicious, and with a single strike from the storage altar produced a fire‑red Ruyi to smash the water net.

Boom— the Ruyi released a burst of fire, instantly burning Jiang Tu's water net.

He then accelerated his attack on one of the four formation beams, "What are you saying, that you would kill your brother the moment we meet?"

Jiang Yu gave him no idle talk; she had only intended to set a formation to test whether the other would dare enter, but she didn't expect to be slammed into the formation, ruining her gradual scheme.

And now, she gathered her spirit, needing to trap this person and ask Sang Zhenren to verify whether big brother had been possessed.

The two of them—one breaking Jiang Tu's water cage and then the formation light, the other continuously reinforcing the formation—both ignored the tiny Dragon King on the ground secretly watching.
