C3671 He Couldn't Wait?
If it was Golden Core cultivators outside of the six sects, it would be fine. However, Ye Yan was not a rogue cultivator from a small power. Instead, she came from Autumn Water Pavilion, which was not weaker than the Purple Frost Sect. He could not afford to offend her.
Golden Core cultivators were not allowed to look directly at Soul Transformation cultivators.
In the depths of the hall.
Ye Yan didn't know what Jiang Ting was thinking, and she spoke with a slightly cold voice, "According to the Purple Frost Sect's information, it was almost the latest time for you to arrive four months ago. Why have you only arrived at the Demon Suppression City now?"
Indeed, if it wasn't for Jiang Ting intentionally slowing down along the way, he would have arrived at the Demon Suppression City a long time ago.
Jiang Ting's expression didn't change. "I encountered some small incidents along the way, so I had no choice but to waste some time."
"So that's how it is."
Ye Yan nodded and did not pursue the matter. After pondering for a while, she said, "An hour ago, the spies sent news that seven thousand miles outside the city... After discovering the traces of a small portion of Demonic Beast, this sovereign hesitated to hand it over to someone. Since you've arrived, you'll lead the team to clear it out. "
Her question was just a casual question.
There was no crime of dereliction of time in the Demon Suppression City... Furthermore, Jiang Ting had not offended her. As an elder of the Internal Sect and the old ancestor of Autumn Water Pavilion, it was not convenient for him to punish her.
Jiang Ting raised his head again. "When are we leaving?"
Indeed, it was the bait. He had just arrived and the mission had come.
It was unknown whether the so-called clearing mission was the bait mission or not. If that was the case, how could the Demon Suppression City be so impatient?
Ye Yan pondered for a moment before answering, "The city has begun to assemble troops... Three days later, you will lead them there."
Three days?
Time was really short.
"Alright." Jiang Ting did not refuse.
A strange look appeared in Ye Yan's eyes. With Jiang Ting's reputation, she didn't believe that Jiang Ting really didn't know anything. How could he still be so calm even though he knew some of the insider information?
However, the strange look disappeared in an instant.
He returned to his calm state. "Since that's the case, let's go down. Alright... If something unexpected were to happen... There was no need to fear the grand formation in the city. When the city was built, the Purple Frost Sect had put in a lot of effort. The profound techniques of the Purple Frost Sect were engraved in the formation, and the identity token of a Golden Core junior of the Purple Frost Sect... It can be used as a command medallion to enter and exit the formation. "
Probably because of Jiang Ting's calmness, Ye Yan didn't know what to think. It was rare for her to take the initiative to tell Jiang Ting some secrets that weren't considered to be a secret.
"Junior understands." Jiang Ting nodded slightly, then turned around and left.
Ye Yan didn't mind, she slowly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Outside the main hall.
After leaving the main hall, Jiang Ting's footsteps paused again and he turned around, "City Lord, from your words, three days later, the small portion of Demonic Beast that appeared will not be left alone by this junior. As for the others, where will this junior meet up with the others?"
"Eastern side of City Lord's Mansion, Demon Execution Palace." Ye Yan's emotionless voice rang out.
Demon Execution Palace... A name filled with killing intent.
East side?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ting turned around and left quickly.
In the main hall.
Ye Yan, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes again. There was a slight surprise in her eyes... She was thinking. Jiang Ting had almost forgotten to ask about the meeting place just now. He had done it on purpose. Or was it because he knew that he was bait and felt ill at ease, that he had almost forgotten about it?
After a while, she shook her head and stopped thinking... Jiang Ting was not a member of the Autumn Water Pavilion. He had nothing to do with the Autumn Water Pavilion, so there was no need to think about it.
...
Outside the City Lord's Mansion.
After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, the crowds in the outside world were bustling with killing intent once again. Compared to the silence in the City Lord's Mansion, it was like two completely different worlds.
Jiang Ting stopped for a while and walked towards the east.
Not long after, he left the range of the walls of the City Lord's Mansion. He also saw the so-called Demon Execution Palace.
It was a large hall built outside the City Lord's Mansion.
It wasn't luxurious.
The entire hall was black and solemn. The words "Demon Execution Palace" were clearly not written by an ordinary person. Instead, it was a formation that had merged with the three words Demon Execution Palace.
No matter who it was, upon seeing those three words, their hearts would surge for no reason, and a hint of fighting spirit would arise within them.
"You're here? Afraid?" A low voice suddenly sounded beside Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting, who was still looking at the Demon Execution Palace, paused for a moment, then turned his head with lightning speed. A middle-aged man who looked like a refined and refined man was now beside him, less than a foot away from him.
There was no aura leaking out of his body. He used his Divine Sense to scan his body, but he did not find anything. Only his eyes could see the existence of the middle-aged man.
Most importantly, this middle-aged man was exactly the same as the beggar on the street.
Although the beggar was dirty, his hair was disheveled, and it was difficult to see his appearance clearly... After all, he had come into close contact with the beggar earlier, so he was naturally able to discern the beggar's true appearance.
Moreover, compared to the beggar, the aura of the middle-aged man in front of him did not leak out in the slightest, and he was completely unable to sense it... He had previously guessed that the beggar was just a clone or perhaps an incarnation.
Now, it seemed that it was indeed a test... The beggar's true body was most likely this middle-aged man.
That beggar was merely an incarnation. That was why he had noticed the beggar's gaze. If it was the real middle-aged man... If the middle-aged man had not suddenly opened his mouth, he would probably not have discovered it at all.
Currently, he was already at the peak of the Earth Realm. He was unable to sense anything at all... The middle-aged man was not only at the Nascent Transformation Stage, he was definitely not an ordinary Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator.
Even amongst Nascent Transformation Stage cultivators, perhaps he was an outstanding figure.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ting instantly suppressed his thoughts. "Greetings, Senior."
The middle aged man revealed a gentle smile. "You haven't answered me... Are you afraid?"
Jiang Ting shook his head. "Afraid... Junior doesn't know where senior's words came from."
He did not deny it, nor did he admit it.
The scholarly middle-aged man continued to smile. "I just heard that Ye Yan wanted you to remove the Demonic Beast that was approaching... You almost forgot to ask where your teammates are. And who was it? It was obvious that he was afraid and uneasy. That's why you lack consideration and contemplation. "
He smiled very seriously and gently... but he seemed to have lost the taste of laughter.
" It was just that I thought of a side character for a moment, so I was a bit lacking in thought. " Jiang Ting did not explain in detail.
After that, he bowed and said, "Junior will be leaving in three days. Time is urgent, and I'm afraid I have no time to communicate with senior... Junior will take his leave, please forgive me."
After saying that, Jiang Ting turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and laughed. "You really want to leave?"
Jiang Ting heard this and turned his head again, revealing a serious and respectful expression. "The elder of the Internal Sect of the Purple Frost Sect, Jiang Ting, greets the old ancestor."
The middle-aged man smiled even more. "It seems that this noble one is lacking in consideration."
From Jiang Ting's words and his serious tone, he could tell that Jiang Ting already knew that he was the Nascent Soul Stage old ancestor of the Purple Frost Sect.
As for how to differentiate them, it was actually quite simple.
Before this, Jiang Ting had actually almost forgotten to ask where he should meet up with the others, and only after he left the hall did he remember to ask Ye Yan.
This matter was nothing.
To others, it didn't matter whether Jiang Ting was afraid or had other motives. After all, it was just a small matter, but...
