[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” Chapter 83 [English]

Chapter 83 Loyalty Nineteen 5

Many people held the talismans and tested whether they could ignite them with their spiritual power. One after another, the talismans in someone’s hands flickered and lit up.When people asked questions, they all replied: “I came back with 20%.”

“I am 100%…”

“Recovery is so slow!”

When they set out, they all felt that compared to the first mass grave siege thirteen years ago, this battle was definitely better and would be so tragic that it could be recorded in history.Who knows how many people there are going up the mountain, but it’s still about the same going down the mountain.This second “encirclement and suppression” can indeed be recorded in the annals of history, but not because of its tragedy, but because it is definitely the most ridiculous and inexplicable action of the Xuanmen.

Some people are grateful to have survived the disaster, while others lament the changes.Dozens of family heads gathered together, and after a brief discussion, they unanimously agreed to find a safe place to rest until their spiritual power recovered to more than 80% before returning home, so as to avoid unnecessary complications and accidents along the way.

Wei Wuxian immediately knew that the “safe place” closest to Yiling was naturally the Yunmeng Jiang clan’s territory, and asked, “So are you planning to go to Lotus Pier next?”

Lan Qiren warned: “Why are you asking this?”

Wei WuXian said, “I’m not doing anything. I’m just asking if we can go together.”

Sect Leader Yao warned: “Wei Wuxian! Although you have done a good thing today, but one code is another code, please understand that it is absolutely impossible for us to make friends with you.”

Wei Wuxian was speechless for a moment, then said: “Don’t worry, no one is forcing you to befriend me. However, we are on the same camp now. The big shot who planned to surround you today has the Yin Tiger Talisman in his hand. Have you dealt with it?”

All the family heads looked at each other.It is true that what Wei Wuxian said is true. If he is willing to join, it will be a huge help.But everyone has been shouting and killing the ancestor of Yiling for so many years, and if they are suddenly asked to cooperate with him, it will be hard to lose face.

Lan Wangji said to Lan Qiren, “Uncle, brother, is there any news right now?”

After a moment of silence, Lan Qiren said, “No.”

Wei Wuxian said: “Zewu Lord may still be controlled by Jin Guangyao, Mr. Lan, one more person and one more help. Even if you can’t trust me, at least let Hanguang Lord participate in your next plan. He is his brother.”

“…” Lan Qiren looked tired and said to Lan Wangji, “If you want to come, come.”

The remaining people immediately looked at Jiang Cheng.Among the three most prominent heads of the aristocratic families present, Lan Qiren took a stand. It didn’t matter whether Nie Huaisang took a stand or not. Now it only depends on Jiang Cheng.On the other end, Jiang Cheng was reactivating his spiritual power and testing the purple electricity. Although it was bright and dim at times, it was no longer extinguished.Jiang Cheng’s face was reflected in a purple light, looking strange and unpredictable.Everyone knew that Jiang Sect Leader, who had turned against Wei Wuxian, was the most unpleasant to see, and they thought that the relationship would probably break down.Unexpectedly, he just sneered and said, “You dare to go back to Lotus Pier?”

After throwing away this meaningless sentence, he stopped talking.Everyone was confused and couldn’t figure out whether he was agreeing or objecting, but when everyone set off, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji followed the team, and he didn’t even look at him, assuming that he neither agreed nor objected.

It was already night when everyone went down the mountain. When they returned to the town, the lights were out and everything was quiet.Everyone was physically and mentally tired and in a state of embarrassment, and even the phalanx stood crookedly and unevenly.Fortunately, I managed to work up the energy to count the number of people, and found that there were almost no discrepancies.Since most people had not recovered their spiritual power and could not wield swords, water was the fastest way to reach Lotus Pier. This team of thousands of people set off towards the dock near Yiling in the dust.However, the decision was made in a hurry, and there were not so many boats nearby at the moment. The family owners had to charter all the large and small boats at the pier, including the fishing boats, and packed them with the children of each family and sailed down the river.

More than a dozen children from aristocratic families were crowded on the same fishing boat.Almost all of these teenagers had lived well in the past, and had never been in such a dark, old, broken fishing boat with dirty fishing nets and barrels piled everywhere, smelling of fish, and creaking wooden boards.The wind was strong at night, and the ship was heaving and swaying. Several northern teenagers suffered from severe seasickness. After enduring it for a while, they finally couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed out of the cabin. They retched and slumped down on the deck, dizzy.

A young man said: “Oh my god, my stomach is shaking so much! Oh brother Sizhui, are you vomiting too? Aren’t you from Gusu? You are not from the north, why are you more seasick than me?”

Lan SiZhui waved his hand and said with a sullen face, “I…I don’t know why. I got like this on a boat when I was four or five years old…Maybe I was born like this.”

As he spoke, he felt nauseous again. He stood up holding on to the side of the ship, and was about to vomit again. Suddenly he saw a dark figure lying on the hull below the side of the ship, half of his body immersed in the river, staring straight at he.

In an instant, Lan SiZhui was so frightened that he swallowed back everything he was about to vomit.He just pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at it intently, and whispered: “Ghost…”

When Jin Ling in the cabin heard this, he rushed out with his sword and said, “Is there a ghost? Where is it? I’ll help you kill it!”

Lan SiZhui said, “It’s not a ghost, it’s a ghost general!”

All the teenagers rushed to the deck and looked in the direction Lan Sizui pointed.Sure enough, the black figure standing under the side of the ship, looking up from below, was none other than the ghost general Wen Ning.

After they got off the mass grave, Wen Ning disappeared. Unexpectedly, he boarded the fishing boat silently at this moment, and he didn’t know how long he had been there.

Although Wen Ning had fought side by side with them at the mass grave just now, there were a lot of people at that time and there were many elders around. It was late at night and they were on the water again. Wen Ning appeared for no reason and it was such a strange situation that the young people were still shocked.After staring at each other for a long time, Ouyang Zizhen shrank back, sat on the deck and said, “Why did the Ghost General come to us alone?”

One person murmured: “No wonder this ship seems to be moving slowly. It turns out that there is an extra person on board. It is so heavy.”

“He…what are you doing there?”

“It’s definitely not trying to harm us anyway, otherwise they wouldn’t be protecting us on the mass graves during the day.”

“But there is no danger now, why did he come to us again…”

“Pfft!”

“Jingyi, why are you laughing?”

Lan Jingyi said: “Look at him, lying motionless outside the boat, like a big confused turtle!”

When he said this, some people really thought it was like it. However, before he started laughing, Ouyang Zizhen exclaimed: “he’s up!”

Sure enough, Wen Ning’s body was dehydrated. He grabbed a thick hemp rope lowered from the deck with both hands and began to climb up slowly.Several teenagers dispersed suddenly, and a few timid ones ran in circles on the deck in a panic, shouting randomly: “He’s coming up, he’s coming up! The Ghost General is coming up!”

Lan Jingyi said: “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like I’ve never seen it before!”

“What should I do? Should I call someone?!”

When Wen Ning rolled over the side of the ship dripping wet and landed heavily on the deck, the entire fishing boat seemed to sway as he fell. The teenagers were extremely nervous and wanted to squeeze to the other side of the deck. Their hearts were beating wildly, but they were too embarrassed to draw their swords.Wen Ning stared at Lan SiZhui’s face and walked towards him.Lan SiZhui realized that he was coming towards him, and after calming down, Wen Ning asked he, “You, what’s your name?”

Lan SiZhui was slightly startled, then stood upright and replied, “This junior is a descendant of the Gusu Lan family, and his name is Lan Yuan.”

Wen Ning said, “Lanyuan?”

Lan SiZhui nodded.Wen Ning said, “You…do you know who gave you this name?”

The dead obviously have no look or expression, but Lan SiZhui had the illusion that Wen Ning’s eyes seemed to light up.

He also felt that Wen Ning was very excited at this moment, so excited that he even stumbled when he spoke, and even He was faintly excited, as if he was about to reveal a secret that had been sealed for many years.

Lan SiZhui replied cautiously: “The name was naturally chosen by my parents.”

Wen Ning asked, “Then, are your parents still alive?”

Lan SiZhui said, “My parents passed away when I was very young.”

A young man on the side tugged on He’s sleeve and whispered: “SiZhui, don’t talk so much, be careful of something weird.”

Wen Ning was stunned and said, “SiZhui? Is SiZhui your nickname?”

Lan SiZhui said, “Exactly.”

Wen Ning asked, “Who got it for you?”

Lan SiZhui said, “Hanguang-Jun.”

Wen Ning lowered his head and silently recited the word “Si Zhui” twice.Seeing that he was enlightened, Lan SiZhui said: “General…” He originally wanted to call him general, but he felt it was weird, so he changed his words: “Mr. Wen? What happened to my name?”

“Oh.” Wen Ning raised his head, stared at he’s face, and asked unexpectedly: “You, you look very much like a distant relative of mine…”

These words really sound like the words used by junior monks and disciples with foreign surnames who want to become relatives with the disciples of the family.The young people are becoming more and more confused and don’t know what to say.Lan SiZhui didn’t know how to answer, so he could only say, “Really, really?”

Wen Ning said, “Really!”

He tried hard to lift the muscles at the corners of his mouth, seemingly trying to force a smile.For some reason, looking at the “ghost general”‘s appearance, Lan SiZhui suddenly felt a sense of intimacy with a strong sadness in his heart, and a vague thought: He seems to have seen this face somewhere.There is a title that seems to be breaking through some obstacle.As long as he blurts out that title, many other things about he will immediately emerge, making he suddenly enlightened.

But at this moment, Lan SiZhui saw Jin Ling beside him.

Jin Ling’s face was dark and extremely ugly. The hand holding the sword was loosening and tightening, and the veins on the back of his hand were disappearing and appearing.He then remembered that the seemingly harmless ghost general Wen Ning in front of him was Jin Ling’s father-killing enemy.

Following he’s gaze, Wen Ning’s “smile” gradually disappeared. He slowly turned to Jin Ling and said, “Master Jin Rulan?”

Jin Ling said coldly: “Who is that?”

After a moment of silence, Wen Ning changed his words: “Young Master Jin Ling.”

Jin Ling stared at him, while the other teenagers stared at Jin Ling nervously, fearing that he would act impulsively.Lan SiZhui said: “Master Jin…”

Jin Ling said, “Get out of the way, it’s none of your business.”

But Lan SiZhui vaguely felt that this must be none of his business, so he stepped forward to stand in front of Jin Ling and said, “Jin Ling, put your sword away first…”

Jin Ling’s heart was already tense, his sight was blocked by he, and he couldn’t help but shouted: “Don’t stop me!”

He stretched out his hand and pushed. Lan Sizhui, who was already seasick and his soles were weak, was pushed by He and hit the side of the ship. He almost rolled over and was carried into the dark night river. Fortunately, Wen Ning lifted him up and pulled him back.A group of teenagers immediately rushed to help him: “Brother Si Zhui!”

“Mr. Lan, are you okay? Are you still fainting?”

Seeing Lan SiZhui’s face turning pale, Wen Ning became anxious and said, “Young Master Jin, come at me. Wen Ning will never resist, but… Mr. Lan Yuan…”

Lan Jingyi was angry and scolded: “Jin Ling, why are you like this! Did Si Zhui provoke you?”

“Brother Sizhui is doing this for your own good. It’s okay if you don’t appreciate it. Why are you pushing me away?”

Jin Ling originally thought that he had struck too hard, but he was also shocked. It was obvious that his peers were helping him and blaming him. This scene overlapped with countless scenes from the past.Over the years, because he had no father or mother, everyone said that he was spoiled because of no one to discipline him. He had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with. He had no close and close friends of the same age in either Jinlin Terrace or Lotus Pier.His status is obviously noble, but his situation is so embarrassing. When he was a child, there were no children from aristocratic families who liked to play with him, and when he was older, there were no children from aristocratic families who were willing to follow him.The more he thought about it, the redder his eyes became, and he suddenly said loudly: “Yes! It’s all my fault! I’m such a bad person! How about it?!”

The other teenagers were all stunned by the roar.After a moment of silence, someone was unconvinced and muttered: “What? It was obviously you who made the move first…why did you become more aggressive?”

Jin Ling said fiercely: “You control me?! Is it your turn to discipline me?!”

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were originally on a boat close to each other. At this shout, Wei Wuxian was startled in the cabin, rushed out and looked across the boat. When he saw Jin Ling raising his sword and facing the other people, he said, “What’s going on?”

As soon as he saw these two people, Lan SiZhui felt that any difficult situation could be solved easily, and he said overjoyed, “Hanguang-Jun! Senior Wei! Come here quickly!”
