Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 832 - 70: Reunion with Madam Jiang

Chapter 832 -70: Reunion with Madam Jiang

Wei Dongliu naturally wouldn’t be inappropriate to the extent of eavesdropping on another sect’s meeting.

He found an excuse and slipped away to rest in a nearby side room.

After a long while, Wen Yang came in to notify him that Honored White Bone was available to meet with him.

Wei Dongliu slightly adjusted his clothes, and then followed Wen Yang to Honored White Bone’s residence.

Among the three major direct lineages of the Intercepting Cult, the residence of Blood Sea Ancestor was the coldest, spending all day freezing under the icy snow-covered rocks;

The residence of the carefree patriarch was the most luxurious, with a specially built palace at the top of the great mountain, filled everywhere with soft and delicate cushions.

The residence of Honored White Bone seemed very simple, and if not for Wen Yang leading the way personally, Wei Dongliu might have mistaken it for a room where ordinary servants lived.

“What business do you have with me?” Honored White Bone chuckled with a joyful smile.

Wei Dongliu took out a letter from Blood Sea Ancestor and handed it over.

Seeing Wei Dongliu’s solemnity, Honored White Bone also became serious, took the letter, read it for a moment, and frowned, saying:

“This object… although peculiar, if paired with Tai Yin Sword Master, it will surely become a great threat.”

Wei Dongliu showed no expression. Blood Sea Ancestor had already mentioned this conclusion once, what’s the point of repeating it?

Fortunately, Honored White Bone quickly realized something: since Blood Sea Ancestor chose to send Wei Dongliu over instead of using Flying Sword Messaging, he must have felt a sense of urgency.

Thus, he spoke with Wei Dongliu:

“Our intelligence network on our side has gleaned that there’s indeed some activity going on over at Shushan.”

“Combining the contents of the letter from Blood Sea, we can currently deduce that they are searching for a secret realm called ‘Cloud Dream Marsh’.”

“Cloud Dream Marsh?” Wei Dongliu asked in surprise.

“Cloud Dream Marsh was originally a cluster of lakes in the plains to the north of ancient Jingzhou,” Wen Yang explained, “In the ancient era, it was said that the area was densely dotted with stars and crisscrossed by a network of waterways, which is why it was also known as ‘Marsh Country’.”

“But in the late ancient times, all these lakes disappeared, turning into vast low-lying plains… Everyone believes that a powerful entity must have taken action, excavating this entire marsh country and relocated it into their own secret realm.”

“Heh,” Honored White Bone also sighed, “You see, from ancient times to early antiquity, to modern times, why has the overall power of the Cultivation Realm continued to decline? It is because too many exceptional Cultivation Techniques have been kept secret and, as a result, their lineages lost due to accidents; too many Magic Artifacts and Elixirs have been hoarded away in secret, hidden in secret realms, never to be found again.”

“Without Cultivation Techniques, without Magic Artifacts, how can we expect any development? In my opinion, if we went back to the era of the great war between the Human Race and Demon Race, it would be uncertain whether the Human Race could even achieve victory…”

Wei Dongliu did not respond, inwardly snickering: There’s no need for the predecessor to worry, the Demon Race of the Eastern Emperor Realm is even more of a mess than their ancestors, currently caught up in their own joyous infighting!

“Master.” Wen Yang suddenly interjected, “We should discuss the important matters, let’s not dwell on irrelevant topics.”

“Alright, alright.” Honored White Bone actually nodded earnestly when spoken to like this by his disciple, showing his excessive indulgence towards Wen Yang, “Continue, please.”

“As for the Cloud Dream Marsh secret realm, let’s temporarily refer to it as such. Originally, it was speculated to possibly exist solely due to unexplained changes in the terrain.” Wen Yang continued, “However, based on recent movements from Shushan, they must have obtained some evidence that we don’t have, confirming the existence of this secret realm.”

“As for the location of the entrance to the secret realm, how to open it, and what treasures lie within, since Shushan has kept strict secrecy, this too remains unclear. However…”

At this point, Wen Yang paused for a moment, and Wei Dongliu immediately understood and took over the conversation, saying:

“However, if Shushan is going on an expedition to the secret realm, the Tai Yin Sword Master and Jiao Xiao True Person will inevitably be included.”

“As long as we closely monitor the movements of these two people, we can naturally follow the clues and find that Marsh Country.”

“Precisely.” Wen Yang said with a smile to the Honored White Bone, “Master, look, what kind of person is Alliance Leader Wei? Where does he need me to explain the plan in detail? Just a little clue from me, and he’s already able to guess it almost completely right.”

The Honored White Bone chuckled and said:

“The main purpose of this operation in the Marsh Country is to prevent Shushan from acquiring treasures. Only second to that is for us to take the treasures for ourselves.”

“Originally, the Nether Ghost Path only planned to contend with Shushan by ourselves, but since the intelligence from the Mortal Life Path indicates that Shushan’s trip this time is for the sake of the Tai Yin Sword Master, they will certainly go all out.”

“In light of this, the Six Paths must also cooperate with sincerity, and bring forth our elite forces.”

“Alliance Leader Wei, you led everyone last time against Kunlun and your performance was there for all to see. This time, let’s continue with you in command, how about that?”

Wen Yang stood by with a light smile, seemingly without any small moodiness about being stripped of command—after all, if the Nether Ghost Path had gone to battle alone, given her status as the disciple of the Honored White Bone, she would almost certainly have been selected as the leader.

It’s just that in her heart, no matter whether in terms of strength, talent or character, Wei Dongliu is more fit to be the team leader than she is.

Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment and said:

“I dare not decline. But still, I must first report to the Ancestor.”

“Go ahead.” The Honored White Bone gestured dismissively.

Wei Dongliu bid farewell to the two and left Mount Beimang, flying towards the direction of the great Mount Dapan in the East Sea.

No sooner had he entered the sea area than he saw a distant fog of murderous intent surging forth. Who else could it be but Jiang Lian, Madam Jiang, who had traveled thousands of miles?

Jiang Lian had come all the way from the far reaches of the East Sea, already filled with sorrow, resentment, bitterness, and impatience. Upon seeing Wei Dongliu near the sea area of Mount Dapan, she immediately drove her Demonic Techniques at full force and rushed over.

Aiyin and Aile watched from behind, thinking that this male pet really couldn’t handle it. Encountering Sister Li An when she’s in the worst mood, he’s probably going to be devoured alive, right?

Then they saw Jiang Lian rush into Wei Dongliu’s arms, like a swallow returning to the forest, and began to whine and act coquettishly, leaving the two Heavenly Demons completely stunned.

After all, it was his own wife with whom he was intimately familiar; although Wei Dongliu was quite dissatisfied with her abandoning the Sect affairs to head out. Still, he comforted her with kind words, and then he started asking what had happened.

Jiang Lian sobbed and whined, telling him roughly what had transpired.

Wei Dongliu immediately had a clear understanding in his heart, realizing that his wife was worried about him and followed him, only to be discovered by the Hell Path’s Elder Luo, who deliberately adjusted the Teleportation Array, sending her far away.

However…

On careful consideration, this was somewhat strange.

Logically speaking, if the Hell Path is as sly as a rabbit with many bolt holes, then every entrance should be a secret.

Although I would be emotionally reluctant for such an incident to happen, if I were the Sect Leader of the Hell Path, and encountered someone like Jiang Lian who dared to pry into our affairs, I would have sent her directly to a trap to silence her—not merely to the outskirts of the East Sea. That’s truly bizarre.

It felt as if there was a sentiment of “can’t be dealt with, can only be driven far away”…
