Chapter Forty-Two A Tremor

fe's savings. I don't need it anymore anyway, take it all!"The life savings of an eighth-rank alchemist, as you can imagine, is a truly immense fortune.Although Gingercloud was hesitant to accept it,...For errand disciples, it was impossible to leave the Wudao Sect without an order from the sect token or a decree from elders or peak masters. So when Jiang Yun's figure appeared at the entrance of the Wudao Sect mountain gate, the two guards were about to step forward to stop him, but a sudden voice in their ears made them withdraw their steps and let Jiang Yun walk out of the Wudao Sect gates.

Jiang Yun naturally didn't notice the two gatekeeper disciples' strangeness. Stepping out of the mountain gate, he kept walking along the mountain path, making a turn until he was sure no one could see him anymore. Only then did his body shake slightly, followed by a stumble and a thud as he sat down hard on the ground.

Injuries and exhaustion were commonplace for Jiang Yun, he didn't even bat an eyelid at them. The hundreds of scars covering his body were testament to that.

In the midst of Mang Mountain, familiar with the characteristics of all sorts of animals and plants, he could find herbs that healed wounds and restored strength, as well as ferocious beasts, in the shortest amount of time. So at this moment, he was panting heavily while habitually using his gaze to scan the surroundings constantly.

After scanning the area, a wry smile appeared on Jiang Yun's face. This was outside the Wudao Sect's mountain gate. Although not many people came and went here, how could there be medicinal herbs

Unable to bear the sight any longer, Jiang Yun finally lowered his head to look at himself.

The sternum and ribs were broken in half, a hole less than an inch away from the heart on the left side of the chest. The internal organs were also slightly displaced, clearly indicating internal injuries.

Such injuries would likely be life-threatening to others, but for Jiang Yun, they were nothing major and wouldn't threaten his life. It was just the continuous struggle against Fang Yu Xuan that left him feeling drained, unable to even move his fingers with ease.

Now, the most important thing for him to do was to return to Cangfeng and take some time to recuperate. However, he knew that he didn't have the luxury of rest; he had to hurry to Kuangshou Forest to find Lu Xiaoyu.

Ginger Cloud took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and pushed with all her might against the ground, trying desperately to stand up again.

Just then, a flower bloomed before his eyes. A white-haired old man appeared, his face creased with wrinkles, and a pair of cloudy eyes stared intently at him. Deep within those eyes, there was a hint of admiration.

Upon seeing this old man who had suddenly appeared before him without any warning, Jiang Yun's face showed a hint of caution. Fortunately, the old man calmly spoke, "My name is Sha Jingshan, and I am one of the elders of the Hundred Beasts Peak!"

Upon hearing the elder's voice and his self-identification, Jiang Yun immediately understood. Sha Jing Shan, it must be the Elder of Bai Shou Feng who was paying attention to Lu Xiao Yu and was preparing to accept her as his disciple!

Just now, it was this elder who, when Fang YuXian was preparing to kill himself, spoke up and pleaded for his life.

At this moment, Sha Jingshan suddenly appeared before him, causing Jian Yun's heart to skip a beat. He immediately spoke with difficulty: "Thank you for your help just now, Sha senior. But could you please go to the Tiger Pit and find Lu Xiaoyu"

Given Sha Jingshan's abilities and status, if he personally went to the Desperate Beast Forest, the chances of finding Lu Xiaoyu would be much higher than mine.

Besides, he had already intended to take Lu Xiaoyu as his disciple. Now that he knew Lu Xiaoyu was in the Beast Trap Forest, he should personally go and look for him, both out of affection and reason.

However, Sha Jing Shan shook his head and said, "I appeared before you because of your bow just now! As for finding Lu Xiao Yu, I cannot go!"

Jiang Yun was instantly stunned and asked, "Why"

The reason for this, it concerns my inquiry about the safety of the Daozong. You needn't know! However, since I have come, I naturally hope that you will go and find her. And I can also guarantee you, as long as you bring her back to the Daozong safely, I will still accept her as a disciple. But if she has already...

Sha Jingshan didn't finish his sentence, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Then this matter ends here! I won't go after Fang Ruolin, and you better not either, otherwise, next time, there probably won't be anyone to plead for you!"

Since Shan Jingshan himself couldn't go to the Beast Trap Forest to look for Lu Xiaoyu, Jiang Yun was a little confused. However, upon hearing the latter half of his words, Jiang Yun's expression sank again.

Since Sha Jing Shan's meaning is very obvious, if Lu Xiao Yu is still alive, he would take care of Lu Xiao Yu. However, if Lu Xiao Yu had an accident, then he wouldn't offend Fang Yu Xuan for a deceased miscellaneous disciple!

Sha Jing Shan obviously knew what Jiang Yun was thinking now, but he didn't explain. With a wave of his hand, he threw a jade bottle in front of Jiang Yun and said, "There are three kinds of pills here, which can help your injury and spiritual energy recover."

Sha Jing Shan continued, "I know you have some power over ferocious beasts and that you may have come from the Ten Wan Mang Mountains. However, I must remind you, the ferocious beasts within the Trapped Beast Forest are not simple either! Remember, a hundred miles is the boundary, do not venture deeper than a hundred miles into the forest!"

And, I know you'll definitely have complaints about what I did, but in the future, you will surely understand that sometimes, we are not our own masters!

After uttering those words, Shan Jingshan's figure had vanished without a trace. If not for the jade bottle still clutched in his hand, Jiang Yun would have almost doubted whether he had been dreaming.

Sha Jing Shan's words stirred something in Jiang Yun's heart, but he didn't have time to ponder them. After a moment's thought, he opened the jade bottle and saw nine pills inside, three colors with three of each.

Jiang Yun poured out three pills of different colors. Although he didn't know the name or specific effects of these pills, after smelling them slightly from his nose, he had a general idea.

Get the latest and fastest updates here...

"One pill for bone injuries, one for internal injuries, and one to restore vitality." In a low voice, Jiang Yun unhesitatingly swallowed the three pills.

Now he truly needs to recover his strength quickly, so that he can enter the Beast's Den as soon as possible and find Lu Xiaoyu.

As for whether the elixir had been tampered with by Sha JingShan, Jiang Yun wasn't worried at all. After all, with Sha JingShan's strength, if he truly wanted to deal with Jiang Yun, there would be no need for such a roundabout approach.

The medicinal pills entered his mouth, instantly transforming into three warm currents that dissipated within Jiang Yun's body. And just a short moment later, Jiang Yun leaped from the ground.

Although the herbal medicine was effective, it was impossible for Jiang Yun to fully recover in such a short time. It only restored a small amount of spiritual energy within him, allowing him to move.

Jiang Yun raced towards the Desperate Beast Forest, his mind replaying every detail of the events. His expression grew darker and gloomier with each passing moment.

Originally, Jiang Yun thought that even though Fang Ruolin had tricked Lu Xiaoyu into carrying out a mission, she just wanted to drive Lu Xiaoyu out of the sect. But now he finally understood, Fang Ruolin didn't just want to drive Lu Xiaoyu out of Wen Daozong, her true purpose was to kill him.

Lu Xiaoyu and Fang Ruolin had no feud, they were just targeted by Sha Jingshan. He saw potential in Lu Xiaoyu to replace Fang Ruolin as an inner disciple. Because of this slight issue, Fang Ruolin was willing to kill Lu Xiaoyu!

This also inevitably caused Jiang Yun to once again recall the words that Fang Yu had said to him earlier, about how all rules and regulations only applied to the weak. As long as one was strong enough, they could trample any rule underfoot.

It has to be said, these words carry immense significance for Jiang Yun.

He came from Mangshan, and within Mangshan, the customs of Mangshan were strictly adhered to by every village, even as powerful as Feng Village, they didn't dare to break them at will.

Therefore, for Jiang Yun, abiding by the rules was like an iron law, deeply engraved in his mind. However, after witnessing what Fang's siblings had done and inquiring about the attitudes of those peak masters and elders within the sect, a flicker of doubt finally arose in Jiang Yun's heart regarding the unyielding rule he had always adhered to.

"To trample rules underfoot! Could that be understood as, as long as I am powerful enough, my words become the rules, and even, I, become the rule itself!"

Jiang Yun's hands clenched into fists. His somewhat immature face showed a resolute expression, and deep within his heart, an indescribable emotion arose. It wasn't intense, but like a spark, it ignited his eyes!

Only then did Jiang Mu let out a soft sigh, but his brows remained tightly furrowed....
