Chapter 92 The Most Ordinary People in the City
Tang Kun, the master of Tangjiabao, was seriously ill and in a coma, and knew nothing about this.
Tang Kun's lifelong wish was to find a good husband for his granddaughter Xuejian, and that man was none other than Xu Changqing, the eldest disciple of Mount Shu.
Xuejian knew her grandfather's feelings, so she had always secretly admired Changqing.
Ling Tian overheard her confessing her feelings to Chang Qing. He originally wanted to help her get married, but unexpectedly, Xue Jian was humiliated in public and was resolutely rejected by her.
When he realized that Xuejian's only request was to fulfill her grandfather's last wish, he felt even more guilty and uneasy. So he made a new teapot lid for her as a token of his gratitude.
Upon arriving at the gates of Tangjiabao, intending to seek an explanation from Xuejian, he was met with sarcasm and refused entry by her personal maid, Xiaoyi.
Meanwhile, the problem of poisonous people in Yuzhou City became increasingly serious.
According to Wen Xuan, a drug addict who was once treated by him:
The newly appeared poisonous people in the city have green eyes and are far more ferocious and terrifying than the previously captured red-eyed poisonous people.
Even the antidote meticulously developed by Tangjiabao was completely ineffective against them.
The "Five Poison Beasts," the only legendary creature in the world said to be able to neutralize all poisons, still exists only in vague and ethereal tales.
Left with no other choice, they had to use the most destructive treasure in the world—the "Extinction Fire".
In the end, Ling Tian and Xue Jian were trapped in the intricate maze of Tangjiabao.
In their despair, they encountered a strange creature that resembled a potato.
Following the strange creature's guidance, the two finally escaped, but Ling Tian was accidentally poisoned along the way.
Xuejian then gave the last remaining dose of the antidote to her elderly grandfather.
Ling Tian's teeth were gradually changing, showing signs of turning into a "poisonous person".
At that moment, the potato-like creature transformed into a stunningly beautiful elven girl to everyone's astonishment.
Everyone then realized that she was the legendary beast that had been passed down for thousands of years—the Five Poison Beast.
With the power of the Five Poisonous Beasts, the scourge of poisonous people that swept through Yuzhou City was finally quelled.
After the matter was completed, Xu Changqing quietly told Xuejian before leaving:
"The person you are destined for is Ling Tian, the one you constantly bicker with, yet who will stay by your side through thick and thin."
Meanwhile, Xu Changqing returned to Mount Shu, only to find the sect in chaos—the Demon Locking Tower had been forcibly broken open.
All the demons and monsters imprisoned in the tower escaped, and the aura of the Evil Sword Immortal also began to stir.
Under the instruction of Master Qingwei, he was once again ordered to descend the mountain to find the man on whom high hopes were placed—Ling Tian.
Ling Tian, having assisted Xue Jian in quelling the internal strife and drug problem in Tangjiabao, has been promoted to the new manager of Yong'an Pawnshop.
At this moment, he was leaning back in the bamboo chair of Yong'an Pawnshop, whistling leisurely.
Suddenly, a series of crisp footsteps approached from afar.
A domineering figure stepped across the threshold, his long, blood-red hair burning like flames.
Those sharp eyes fell on Ling Tian, who was sitting comfortably on the recliner, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted, forming a meaningful arc.
Shushan.
Inside the Wuji Pavilion.
Master Qingwei, accompanied by four elders, summoned Chang Yin and Xu Changqing, who had returned in haste.
Upon entering the hall, Xu Changqing spoke with a solemn expression:
"Sect Leader, the Demon-Locking Tower has stood for ten thousand years, suppressing countless demons and evil spirits. It is the foundation of our Shu Mountain."
"When the disciples returned this time, they found the tower destroyed, the formation collapsed, and demons and ghosts running rampant."
"Could it be... that a great upheaval is about to occur in the demon realm and the ghost realm?"
Qingwei smiled faintly, her tone composed:
"It was not the work of demons or ghosts."
"It was the Demon Lord Chonglou who personally came to Mount Shu, broke down the tower, and took the Demon Sword."
"Demon Lord Chonglou!?"
Xu Changqing and Chang Yin both gasped in shock.
Even Xu Changqing, who was usually quiet and reserved, was moved at this moment.
"The Demon Realm has never interfered in the conflicts of the Human Realm, but now the Demon Lord has personally arrived and destroyed my heavy defenses... Could it be...?"
Chang Yin frowned, looking worried.
Although Mount Shu is the number one sect in the cultivation world, with a prestigious reputation.
But if they were to truly contend with the demon realm, it would be like ants trying to shake a mountain.
Once war breaks out, Shushan has little chance of winning.
Qingwei chuckled softly, waved his whisk, and said:
"If the demon realm truly descends, no one can stop it."
"However, you need not worry. Chonglou has come here only for the Demon Sword, and has no intention of fighting."
"As for the escaped demons, the elders of the Primordial Spirit realm will take care of them."
After speaking, Qingwei turned her gaze to Xu Changqing, her tone suddenly becoming solemn:
"But you, on the other hand, have a crucial task at hand."
Noticing the sudden change in the sect leader's expression, Xu Changqing immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression stern:
"This disciple will certainly do my utmost!"
"Um."
Qingwei nodded slightly, then revealed a gentle smile:
"I want you to bring Ling Tian back to Mount Shu."
"That good-for-nothing brat?"
Before Xu Changqing could respond, Chang Yin blurted out in astonishment:
"This disciple has searched through all the records of the Six Realms and found that this person has accomplished nothing in the human realm and has repeatedly committed mistakes."
"His talent is mediocre, and his character is nothing special either."
Xu Changqing was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Brother Ling... truly possesses extraordinary abilities."
"But I still have doubts in my heart: what is the connection between this matter and Brother Ling Tian?"
Qingwei stared intently at Xu Changqing, her gaze deep and unfathomable, with a hint of cold stars flickering in her eyes.
"This young friend Ling Tian... is definitely not as ordinary as he appears on the surface."
"When the time is right, everything will be revealed."
"Now, everyone go and do what they need to do."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, both Xu Changqing and Chang Yin were startled, their faces showing surprise and doubt.
However, the two did not ask any further questions, bowed respectfully, and quickly withdrew.
It's not just them.
Upon hearing these words, countless living beings across the land of China were deeply moved, their hearts surging with emotion.
"Looking for Ling Tian!"
"Even Qingwei, the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, is personally paying attention to Ling Tian?"
"Could it be that Ling Tian is not as ordinary as he appears?"
"How is that possible? Judging from his past behavior, he is clearly just an ordinary person from the streets."
"That's right, whether it's acting spoiled and throwing a tantrum, or panicking and losing control in the face of trouble, it all seems natural and not at all like an act."
"What exactly is the reason? What secrets lie behind it?"
"The mysterious man in black had already predicted that he would be the key figure to save the world in three hundred days."
"Now, even the Lord of Mount Shu is looking at him differently."
"What exactly makes Ling Tian so extraordinary?"
"Is he deliberately concealing his true form... or does his true form contain some extraordinary secret?"
"And that woman named Xuejian."
"If I had only slightly doubted before that she wasn't the goddess Xi Yao, now I'm almost certain—she is definitely not Xi Yao!"
"Those actions and words are simply not something a holy maiden from the divine realm could do."
"Indeed, the mere threat of poisonous people is nothing to the goddess Xi Yao, given her abilities."
"If Xuejian is not Xiyao, why does she look exactly like her?"
"Ling Tian, who is not the Divine General Fei Peng, looks exactly like Fei Peng."
"Xuejian, who is not the goddess Xiyao, is like a mirror image of Xiyao."
"Such a coincidence, could it be that there was some connection between us in the dark?"
no doubt.
In the eyes of all living beings in the Nine Provinces, there was not a trace of transcendence in Ling Tian.
If he hadn't once been ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, probably no one would have given him a second glance.
But now, such a young man, who seems to be hanging around the streets and doing nothing,
Surprisingly, this attracted the attention of a mysterious man in black, and was even personally mentioned and valued by the head of the Shu Mountain Sect.
