Dragon Vein Martial God

Jiang Ting raised his head and looked at Ling Ling with a strange expression. When Chai Ying was taken away, he had crippled Ling Ling's cultivation base as a punishment, but who would have thought that... Currently, Ling Ling's cultivation base had not only recovered, but had also improved. She had reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.    

    

Mu Wan, who was still at the foot of the mountain, had even cultivated to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment... It was unknown whether these two people would be able to break through to the Golden Core stage.    

    

Jiang Ting didn't say anything, and Ling Ling didn't dare to say anything. She could only bow and stand outside the bamboo garden.    

    

After a short while.    

    

Jiang Ting withdrew his thoughts. "During the ten years I've been in seclusion, how has the situation in Tian Lan changed?"    

    

His voice was not loud, but very gentle.    

    

If it was the first time she saw Jiang Ting, Ling Ling would definitely think that Jiang Ting's character was very gentle and friendly... However, after Jiang Ting entered Maple Leaf Peak, it was always her and Twilight Night who guarded it.    

    

She also didn't forget that previously, Jiang Ting didn't hesitate to cripple two levels of his cultivation as punishment!    

    

If it wasn't for her talent, she would still be able to guard Maple Leaf Peak... Guarding Maple Leaf Peak, although she could not casually leave during normal days, it was still very easy for her.    

    

As long as she stayed at the entrance of the mountain and stayed in the grand formation... If the foot of the mountain was treated as a cave, she could say that she didn't have any mission and only needed to focus on her cultivation.    

    

With all these, she recovered her cultivation. She also knew that Jiang Ting's gentleness was just a facade.    

    

Without angering Jiang Ting, Jiang Ting seemed to be very easy to talk to.    

    

But if she provoked Jiang Ting... she would definitely punish her if she did!    

    

Ling Ling did not dare to delay in her thoughts. She hurriedly said, "Elder, in these ten years, the weather in the Endless Sky has changed. Countless major events have occurred. May I know which aspect you are asking about?"    

    

" Oh?" Jiang Ting's eyes lit up.    

    

Before he went into seclusion, it seemed like nothing major had happened.    

    

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting said slowly, "Let's talk about the Devil Ridge. The situation had changed. It seemed like the extermination of the Devil Ridge had not gone smoothly. Could it be that the Devil Ridge still existed and the devil cultivators were still active in the Tian Lan Continent? "    

    

"Yes."    

    

Ling Ling paused for a moment before standing straight and saying respectfully, "Elder, there's something you don't know. After you went into closed door cultivation for about five years, because the Autumn Water Pavilion, Black Feather Pavilion, and the Demon Refining Pavilion's numerous Golden Core Realm seniors left, the matter of besieging the Devil Ridge has fallen into an impasse."    

    

Jiang Ting's interest was instantly aroused. "The three pavilions left, why is that?"    

    

Ling Ling hurriedly replied, "Replying to Elder..."    

    

Following her reply, Jiang Ting found out that the Tian Lan was really lively during these ten years.    

    

Ten years ago, not long after he went into seclusion, the Demonic Beast in Stone City suddenly had some unusual movements, and the distance of entering the hundred mile river became even more frequent.    

    

Because of the many movements in Stone City, the three pavilions that were connected to Stone City had all sent their disciples to investigate.    

    

Facts proved that the three pavilions sending disciples to investigate was not in vain... Not long after, the Demonic Beast suddenly began to plan and attack the Hundred Mile Great River's grand formation.    

    

The Demonic Beast rebelled! Countless Demonic Beast appeared outside the grand formation. Stone City was in imminent danger. Countless Golden Core Demonic Beast gathered, and there were even many Nascent Transformation Demonic Beast that appeared outside the great river, at the edge of the sea.    

    

Because of this, the three who were still participating in the siege of Demon Ridge hurriedly called back their people. They ignored Demon Ridge and instead gathered their experts to head to Stone City.    

    

The three of them were prepared to negotiate with the Demonic Beast to avoid a fight that had no objections... After all, even if the Human Clan were to enter the ocean, it would be impossible for them to survive in the ocean.    

    

The same principle applied to the Demonic Beast. The Demonic Beast in the ocean liked to swim in the water, and didn't like to roam on the ground.    

    

This was also the reason why Stone City existed. It was also the reason why the Demonic Beast almost did not attack Stone City.    

    

In the end, they did not expect that they would not be able to negotiate at all. The Demonic Beast's violent attacks... Each attack was fiercer than the last... Helpless, the three pavilions no longer cared about Demon Ridge. In fact, there were even quite a few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the three pavilions who had come out of nowhere to guard Stone City.    

    

This suppression had lasted until now... That's right. Until now, until Jiang Ting came out of seclusion, the Demonic Beast tide was still erupting on Stone City's side. From time to time, Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beast would lead the beast tide to cross the hundred mile river and attack Stone City.    

    

Why did the Demonic Beast suddenly attack... No one knew, at least, ordinary people didn't know.    

    

Speaking of which, let's talk about the Devil Ridge.    

    

Originally, even if the three pavilions withdrew, the remaining Sacred Sun Clan, the Purple Frost Sect and the Giant Fault Sect would still be sufficient to destroy the Devil Ridge.    

    

However, what was unexpected was that... when the six sects of the Endless Sky confirmed that the Demonic Beast would not withdraw for a short period of time, and that the Three Gates would not be able to spare any manpower for a short period of time, the Sacred Sun Clan suddenly chose to support the Devil Ridge.    

    

Having obtained the support of the Sacred Sun Clan... Now, only the Giant Pylon Sect and the Purple Frost Sect were left, naturally unable to successfully kill Devil Ridge. They could only fall into a deadlock.    

    

Ling Ling did not know the specifics, but she had heard that due to the changes of the Sacred Sun Clan, there had been a secret discussion between the higher echelons of the Devil Dao and the other two sects.    

    

After the secret meeting, the experts above the foundation establishment stage of the Purple Frost Sect had all withdrawn from the Devil Ridge and returned to their respective sects, with most of them having left for the Foundation Establishment Qi Refinement stage as well.    

    

While there was still fighting over the Devil Ridge, the flames of war were still very low, with the highest being only at the Foundation Establishment stage... It was said that the four sects had already reached an agreement, but Ling Ling was not clear on the specifics.    

    

Apart from that, the most lively ones in Tian Lan were those who had been exposed and had obtained a huge harvest in the Demon Slayer City.    

    

En, after Jiang Ting had gone into seclusion for almost a year, the portrait had spread to more than half of Tian Lan... There were often people who were killed.    

    

There were also people who seized resources and were hunted down by others. According to the news that came today, it was said that the first group of people, En, the first group of people who obtained treasures in the Demon-slaying City. It was said that there were less than twenty of them who were still alive.    

    

The rest were all dead... However, the turmoil did not reduce.    

    

After all, those people did not have a grudge against those who entered the Demon Slayer City. Instead, it was for the treasures and resources... When they were dead, the treasures and resources were still there.    

    

In short, the Tian Lan was in chaos right now.    

    

In the past, Tian Lan would never make a move in the marketplace.    

    

However, the current Tian Lan market wasn't safe either, and there would often be fights breaking out in the market... In the past, countless people had tacitly agreed to treat the marketplace as a safe zone, but now, it was no longer possible.    

    

As for the clans that ruled the marketplace to maintain order... if they couldn't do it, then Golden Core cultivators would take action at every turn. How could the small clans and powers put an end to this?    

    

It was also because of this that countless people in Tian Lan knew that there were actually so many Golden Core cultivators in Tian Lan... It was said that in the past ten years, more than a hundred Golden Core cultivators had died.    

    

In the bamboo garden.    

    

Jiang Ting stopped drinking, and his expression became strange... Tian Lan was in chaos now.    

    

Ling Ling respectfully said from outside the bamboo garden, "Elder, junior's cultivation is limited, so I don't know much. This is almost all the information disciple knows."    

    

This also put an end to the report.    

    

Jiang Ting pondered for a moment. He tilted his head. "Is there any news about me?"    

    

"This..."    

    

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Ling spoke uncertainly, "There is indeed some information, but..."
