My Girlfriend From Turquoise Pond Requests My Help After My Millennium Seclusio Novel - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: The Dragon Race Came Early Because of Me?
A gentle breeze blew, the white clouds moved, and the sun was warm.
Jiang Lan, who was walking on the Ninth Summit, felt that the weather today was comforting.
After leaving the mystic realm, he returned to the Ninth Summit immediately.
Initially, he had planned to use his nature Daoist spell to walk around and listen to his Junior Brothers and Sisters talk about the happenings around the Grand Desolate World.
However, he had to go back to set up his array formation.
Furthermore, he had to think of a way to resist the invasion of these demons.
Kunlun was not afraid of the Dragon Race, which meant that it was powerful.
It was definitely not afraid of the demons either.
At the same time, it was impossible for the demons to attack Kunlun directly.
The demons were still fighting the dragons. They did not have the strength to fight against Kunlun head-on, nor were they so foolish.
Therefore, all their firepower would be concentrated at the entrance of the Netherworld to launch a sneak attack.
As the only disciple of the Ninth Summit, he was definitely on their list.
Defending against the demons meant protecting himself.
“Based on the actions and words of the person in the Fifth Summit’s mystic realm, I can confirm that to the demons, killing me is far less useful than roping me in. In other words, the person behind them doesn’t really want to kill me, but wants to rope me in and make use of me.
They have a special Dharma treasure that targets the entrance to the Netherworld. However, this can’t be confirmed. Furthermore, a normal person would prepare a backup plan for themselves as long as they did something dangerous.”
And this backup plan definitely had Jiang Lan inside.
If they failed to open the entrance to the Netherworld, then as long as they obtained a breakthrough through him, it would be equivalent to succeeding halfway.
Unlike the Heavenly Human Race, the Demon Race did not care that he was the fiance of the Goddess. What they cared more about was that he could approach the entrance to the Netherworld at any time.
If he were to become one of theirs…
It would be a fatal crisis for the Netherworld Cave.
It was the same for the Ninth Summit and Kunlun.
“It would appear that I will have to be even more careful. I will have to strengthen the array formation that covers the heavenly secrets. I cannot only rely only on the maze array formation.”
Catoptric Deflection could also be used to conceal the heavenly secrets in the Netherworld Cave.
For a moment, he was shocked.
This Catoptric Deflection was truly ridiculously powerful.
What price had his master paid for him to learn such a spell?
Not long after, he returned to the courtyard. Nothing had changed here.
After watering the vegetative egg, he headed to the Netherworld Cave alone.
The array formation over there was only half-finished. Some of the array formations that should have been hidden were not hidden in time.
The place was still not secure.
“Someone had entered the formation?”
When he arrived near the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan discovered that there were traces of someone tampering with the array formation. Someone had entered and broke past the array formation.
He had just learned about the Demon Race and now he had encountered someone barging into the Netherworld Cave.
This made Jiang Lan wary.
After sensing for a while, he didn’t sense anyone in the array formation.
The person had either left or went further in.
“It should be very difficult for master to leave if he was the one who had entered it.”
Jiang Lan stepped into the array formation, wanting to see what was going on.
He was wary. There was a good chance it was his master, but he couldn’t rule out that it was an enemy of his.
When he arrived in front of the Netherworld Cave, he discovered that his array formation had been broken.
“The Catoptric Deflection is broken. The person is actually so powerful.”
This discovery shocked Jiang Lan. Although his attainments weren’t very high, it wasn’t easy to break through his Catoptric Deflection.
And the other party’s method of breaking the array formation was extraordinary.
The other party’s attainments in array formations were extremely high.
Jiang Lan didn’t discover anything after entering the Netherworld Cave.
“I have to ask Master about this.”
If it was his master, then forget it. If it wasn’t, then he would have to report this matter.
“Next time, I should add a recording Dharma treasure. As long as someone breaks past the array formation and enters the Netherworld Cave, the recording Dharma treasure will be activated.”
On the way to the peak of the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan was thinking about how to make up for the shortcomings he had discovered today.
…
“Master.”
At that moment, Mo Zhengdong was standing at the edge of the peak, looking down at the world outside, lost in thought.
Jiang Lan’s respectful voice pulled him back to reality.
“You’re back?” Mo Zhengdong turned to look at Jiang Lan, who was bowing to him.
“Perfect, I have something to tell you.”
“Master, please speak.” Jiang Lan lowered his head.
Previously, he did not know that his master wanted to tell him something. When he suddenly heard it, he was a little surprised and curious.
Every time his master said something, it was not a good thing. It went against his plan every time.
Fortunately, it had never been a big problem.
As for the matter of the array formation, there was no hurry to ask.
“It’s about the dragons.” Mo Zhengdong’s voice was calm.
“The demons have been in a war with the dragons. Recently, the dragons have gained the upper hand. Before long, the dragons will win.”
“Is it related to the Goddess?” Jiang Lan asked.
Since Master mentioned the Dragon Race, the matter definitely had something to do with Xiao Yu.
Similarly, it had something to do with him.
“Something like that.” Mo Zhengdong nodded and continued.
“Once the Dragon Race wins, they will come to Kunlun in an imposing manner. They will definitely rediscuss the matter regarding the Goddess.”
With that said, Mo Zhengdong comforted Jiang Lan.
“Don’t worry about the marriage. No one can go against it. However, there would be some other problems. And the first trouble is that someone will definitely make things difficult for you, such as challenging you.”
Jiang Lan understood what was happening. The Dragon Race was going to come to Kunlun.
They wanted to use him as a breakthrough point.
Only after defeating him would the Dragon Race have the right to say anything.
And if he won, the Dragon Race would lose their dignity once again and he would strike a blow to the Dragon Race’s arrogance.
There was Kunlun standing behind him so there was not much for him to fear.
“Master wants me to try my best to win the challenge?” Jiang Lan tried to ask.
Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan in surprise. He paused for a moment before saying.
“Although you are the most outstanding disciple of the Ninth Summit, the Dragon race will definitely not send some mediocre junior. At the very least, your opponent will be a Human Immortal who has his cultivation suppressed to the same realm as yours. I don’t think you have a chance of winning.”
Jiang Lan: “…”
Was his master doubting him?
Jiang Lan was actually confident in facing the Dragon Race because he had the Dragon Slaying Sword.
However, it was indeed still difficult for him to kill a Human Immortal who would have his cultivation suppressed.
Unless Jiang Lan did not suppress his cultivation.
However, if he did not need to suppress his cultivation, he wouldn’t even need to use the Dragon Slaying Sword.
One punch should be enough.
“Then what does Master want me to do?” Jiang Lan asked.
“Just do your best,” said Mo Zhengdong.
Jiang Lan nodded. Since that was the case, it was the best for him.
However, if he fought the Dragon Race, he would definitely be in the spotlight again.
He would not lose intentionally. He could only try his best.
There was nothing he could do about being in the spotlight. When the time came, he just had to think of a way to reduce his presence.
“When?”
“I estimate it to be within a hundred years. In fact, it should be around fifty years. That is if nothing unexpected happens again.”
“Something unexpected had happened?” Jiang Lan was curious.
“The Dragon Race managed to obtain a treasure not long ago. It should be a healing-type treasure. It suddenly increased the Dragon Race’s battle prowess. Even though it’s only a little, it’s enough to tilt the battle to their favor.”
Jiang Lan was a bit surprised when he heard this. A healing-type treasure?
The Qingyi Water Flower.
He had sold it to the Eighth Prince of the Dragon race.
In other words, he had indirectly caused trouble to himself and brought the challenge forward by fifty years?
It felt like he had smashed his own feet.
But fifty years was sufficient. In another fifty years, he would have cultivated a total of 260 years.
His surface cultivation would be at the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm, and his hidden cultivation would be near the perfected Essence Soul Realm.
It was hard to determine his true cultivation.
However, he would have to face the demons then.
He had to become a True Immortal.
