Chapter Fifty-Nine: Stay at My Place for a Few Days
, suddenly burst forth with a blinding flash, like starlight reflected in the sky. When it became clear in everyone's sight, it had transformed into a dragon-shaped sword light without a hilt!The blad...Time traveled back to the moment when Jiang Wang and Zhao Ruifen parted ways.
To the Mingde Hall, Jiang Wang had walked countless times. Especially all the food along this road, he knew them well, both good and bad.
This is Fenglin City, a place where he lived and cultivated for many years. As he walked through the city, there was a sense of peace and ease that was hard to find elsewhere.
Because he was too relaxed, when the figure bumped into him, he didn't have time to dodge.
No, perhaps he had tried his best to dodge, but was still hit.
This collision felt very strange, because instead of pushing each other away as they normally would under the impact, they didn't budge at all due to their different foundations. Some were knocked down while others remained completely still.
...Instead, they were stuck together.
That is to say, the collision this time produced a seemingly attractive force rather than a repulsive one.
This is too strange!

Jiang Wang looked at the man in black robes standing so close to him, and for some reason, his hairs stood on end.
He had a strong intuition that this guy was extremely dangerous, and he was definitely no match for him.
The disparity in strength was so vast that if he wanted to escape by relying on his status as a disciple of the Maple Forest Academy and alert others at this time, the other party could absolutely kill him and then leave with composure.
"Looks like he's the disciple of that guy, huh..." The man in black leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear and said, "How about you stay at your place for a few days"
Jiang Wang's body stiffened and he nodded.

"Good." The man in black robes stepped back, allowing Jiang Wang to see his face concealed beneath the hood. It was a rugged, savage face with an innate ferocity. "You are a smart person, you should know not to do foolish things."
It was only then that Jiang Wang noticed that the man's hooded black robe looked very similar to the one worn by the little fat man in Sān Shān City. At the same time, he was bald.
The bald man's gaze was dangerous, with little consideration for time.
First, Jiang Wang made it clear that he absolutely couldn't take this dangerous guy home. Neither Zhao Rucheng nor Ling He could help him; they would only drag him down. Not to mention, there was An An at home as well.
“But...I live in the Daoist Academy dormitory.” Jiang Wang swallowed nervously, not hiding his fear: “I’m an inner disciple.”
"Well, the pulse is up, but the foundation isn't laid yet. To be honest, it's a good start to a collaboration." The bald man seemed satisfied as he turned around, putting his shoulder on Jiang Wang's, walking beside him. "But I believe you have a way, right"
On the bustling street, people came and went, but no one noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Or, Jiang Wang had to work harder to appear completely normal, lest he be dealt with immediately.
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.
First, "that guy's disciple," who is "that guy" in Guangtou's mouth
...the same style of black robe as the little fat man in Sanshan City.
Jiang Wang had a bold guess—could it be Zhu Wei
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then the identity of this bald man would naturally be revealed, the heart-eating demon, Xiong Wen!
For this period of time, Zhu Wei has been relentlessly pursuing Xiong Wen, even missing the Three Cities Discourse for it. Unexpectedly, this Xiong Wen is audacious and brazen, he even snuck into Fenglin City to play a trick under the guise of darkness.
This is a cultivator of the sixth rank, Tenglong Realm, who has opened the gates of heaven and earth.
Even though he possessed the formidable Four Spirit Refining Body Technique and the Purple Qi Ascending Sword Sutra, two powerful secret techniques, to leap three ranks and defeat this opponent was simply impossible.
“There... there should be a way, but I need to think... Can I think about it” Jiang Wang wasn't the kind of genius who could plan seven steps ahead. He was trying to buy some time.
"Sure. But don't take too long. Because I don't have much patience." The bald man was very accommodating and even patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder.
The two of them walked forward like that, embracing each other tightly, like close friends.
Jiang Wang continued to analyze.
The day before yesterday was the Sancheng Lun Dao Conference, and he sensed a conflict brewing after it. He didn't delve into matters that didn't concern him. Zhao Rucheng casually mentioned that Wei Qiji was probably retaliating for the Xiao Lin Town massacre.
At this point, the only thing that was certain was that the city's defenses must have been extremely tight those two days. Yet, this bald man had managed to move about without a sound, clearly demonstrating his mastery of stealth.
Then, what reason would cause him to appear on the street and randomly approach a stranger, seeking a new hiding place
>
There's only one explanation: his previous hiding place has been exposed. Or perhaps, Zhu Wei has already realized he's taken refuge in Fenglin City!
Perhaps life is found here...
But obviously, if this bald man were really Xiongwen, he would have noticed that.
So he couldn't possibly leave anything that could remind Wei Yu of me. Playing tricks under the watchful eyes of a Tenglong Realm cultivator would be courting death.
Jiang Wang continued to think, where should he go next
He didn't dare to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion, nor did he dare to go to the academy. There was no doubt that both places were safe havens. But this bald man was by no means a fool.
What can be done
>
He absolutely cannot gauge the strength of a Heavenly Dragon Realm cultivator with his own abilities. He had already witnessed Lin Zhengren's combat power at the previous Three Cities Discussion on Dao, and this Xiong Wen was definitely strong, if not stronger.
One idea after another appears, each one being denied.
His head was a mess, he was almost desperate, but he couldn't give up.
He suddenly thought, he didn't pick up An An today. Would An An go home by herself Would she be scared
Then he thought of the young girl named Qingzhi, and the inscrutable old man surnamed Gui.
Perhaps...
He quickly discarded these thoughts, he absolutely couldn't bring danger to Jiang Anan.
But when he thought of AnAn, he found strength.
“I have a friend…” Jiang Wang said with difficulty, “But I can’t take you to where he lives now. I can’t endanger him.”
The bald man looked interested: "And then"
“He had a courtyard in his clan, which he hadn't lived in for a long time and was very quiet. No one would disturb us.” Jiang Wang added cautiously: "But the problem is, his family is quite powerful. If we're not careful, we might get into some trouble."
>
"Oh How strong" The bald man's voice held a hint of undisguised disdain. The local families of Fenglin City were, after all, simply beneath him.
"It's the Fang family, one of the three largest surnames in the local area. There might be some, with extraordinary powers. I'm not quite sure about the specifics."
The friend Jiang Wang was talking about, of course, was Fang Pengju. Looking at the entire Maple Forest City, within Jiang Wang's known range, besides the City Lord's Mansion and the Academy, the only one who could potentially cause trouble for the Heart-Devouring Demon was the three major surnames.
He had no feud with the Zhang and Wang families, but Fang Pengju held a grudge against him, and Fang Heiling had been relentlessly pursuing him. Last time, he even had a falling out with Fang Zhehou...
The most important point is that among the three surnames, he was only familiar with the Fang family and had only been to their ancestral home.
In the small courtyard within the Fang family estate that he described, Fang Pengju and he had once feasted and chatted merrily, and had also spent nights talking by candlelight.
Now, let's see if the bald men agree with this choice.
Concerning his own safety, the bald man pondered for a moment before saying, "Lead the way."
Jiang Wang's heart relaxed.
