Chapter 55: Strange Behavior
Zheng Jiang was calm and sophisticated, and in the face of Wang He's angry scolding, he only said one sentence, and Wang He no longer spoke. Zheng Jiang smiled bitterly: "Brother has a lot of misunderstandings about me, I can understand your mood at this time, but you have to give me a chance to explain! You can think about it, with your cultivation, you are definitely not my opponent, if I intentionally hurt your brother, will I tolerate you standing on this side and scolding me?"
When Wang He heard this, he immediately stopped, frowned, and stopped talking.
Zheng Jiang nodded and began to explain to him. He explained that blocking Wang Xian's sneak attack on Ma Yilong was due to his concern for Wang Xian's reputation; he explained that instigating Wang Xian to agree to fight martial arts and taking away the storage bag meant that Wang Xian would have a greater advantage; and explained that blocking Wang He's presence was that he overestimated Wang Xian's strength, and did not expect that Wang Xian, a disciple in the early stage of foundation building, would die in the hands of Ma Yilong.
After hearing this, Wang He stared at Zheng Jiang and snorted coldly: "You don't need to say anything else! If you hadn't taken Ma Yilong away, maybe I would have killed him on the spot, and I would have already avenged my cousin!
When Zheng Jiang heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you are still too young, you think things too simply, and you don't realize your brother's good intentions! Even if I don't take Ma Yilong away, Jiang Shuyuan and the others will not let you kill him! On the contrary, if they bring Ma Yilong in front of the master, Ma Yilong will not only not be punished, but may also be rewarded!" Just imagine, with his cultivation ability, he can kill your cousin, proving that he is definitely a talent worth cultivating, maybe the head of the sect will accept him as an apprentice when he is happy, if that's the case, you really have no chance of revenge!"
Wang He heard what he said, but his attitude softened significantly, and it could be seen that he agreed with what Zheng Jiang said. Wang He pondered for a moment and said softly, "Then according to Senior Brother Zheng's meaning, what should we do?"
Zheng Jiang pulled Wang He, the two walked into the cave, closed the door of the cave, Zheng Jiang said in a low voice: "I took Ma Yilong away and hid it, and personally reported the matter, just to gain the trust of the head of the house and know his attitude." In my opinion, the current attitude of the head is very resolute, and he does not allow us to kill Ma Yilong at all. If we really seek revenge in private, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves. The Wang family alone can't make the head feel enough pressure, so it's better to pull you Shangguan Long in and let him kill Ma Yilong. If it succeeds, the revenge will be avenged, and even if it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter, then the two families will put pressure on the head of the family at the same time......"
After Wang He heard these words, his heart immediately burst into joy, and his previous grievances were swept away, and he stretched out his thumb to praise Zheng Jiang, and apologized to him, admitting that he should not have misunderstood Zheng Jiang before!
Ma Yilong, who was secretly peeping, saw all this clearly and heard it clearly. Ma Yilong withdrew that part of his divine thoughts, put the female ghost insect into the spirit beast bag, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Intuition told Ma Yilong that Zheng Jiang's idea was definitely not that simple.
Ma Yilong told Qingyun Dao and Huo Wuyuan what he saw and heard, and their views were completely the same as Ma Yilong's. Zheng Jiang definitely didn't have that good intentions, and it couldn't be to help Wang He. The matter is obvious, as soon as Zheng Jiang came out of the main hall of the Chiyun Dao people, he went to find Wang He, he must be acting according to the will of the head of the Chiyun Dao people.
No one knew Chiyun's personality better than the people of Qingyun Dao, and he also knew that the Purple Cloud Sect did not have a flying order. After a little analysis, the Qingyun Dao people immediately guessed the purpose of the Chiyun Dao people. As soon as Qingyun Dao people told Huo Wuyuan and Ma Yilong about their analysis, the two of them immediately laughed!
At this time, it was not dawn outside, and just as he was acting, Ma Yilong immediately walked through the cave door.
Shangguan Long, twenty years old this year, a son of the Shangguan family in the Northern Cold Land, entered the Purple Cloud Sect three years ago with a purpose, and now he is at the peak of Qi refining. This son of a great family of cultivating immortals has always been empty-eyed, with no one in his eyes.
At this time, facing Ma Yilong, who suddenly appeared outside the cave door, Shangguan Long was extremely surprised in his heart. With Ma Yilong's background and cultivation, according to Shangguan Long's previous character, he would definitely not look at him squarely.
Today, however, it is very different. In just one day, Ma Yilong became famous in one fell swoop, and the fact that he killed Wang Xian in public had spread to every corner of the Purple Cloud Sect, and it was being exaggerated!
Ma Yilong was able to defeat Wang Xian by relying on his resourcefulness, and in terms of real strength, Ma Yilong is still far behind Wang Xian. However, now many people are exaggerating this matter, and they have already said that it was Ma Yilong who killed Wang Xian with absolute strength.
As for Ma Yilong's public taking off ~ pants for Wang Xian, it is a hot topic in the Purple Cloud Sect.
Among those outer disciples who advocate martial arts, they even passed on Ma Yilong's deceptive one-hit victory as a myth, and gave her the nickname Yin Yang Quick Swordsman. The Yin and Yang Fingers naturally had his terrifying face, and the Quick Swordsman praised him.
For such a newcomer who suddenly rose, those children of the Xiuxian family have already reached a consensus: Ma Yilong, this kid, has extraordinary strength, he is ruthless, and he doesn't care about any background at all, so it's best not to provoke this person if there is no need!
Two hours ago, Shangguan Long was still talking about Ma Yilong with several other children of the Immortal Cultivation Family, but what he didn't expect was that Ma Yilong would find him directly at this time. Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not dare to have the slightest contempt.
Shangguan Long opened the door of the cave and bowed his hand.
When Ma Yilong saw it, he returned the salute and said with a smile: "Although I have never met, I have heard of the name of Senior Brother Shangguan, and I came to see him today, and I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, I hope Senior Brother Shangguan doesn't mind!"
Shangguan Long glanced up at the sky and said with a wry smile: "I don't mind if I don't dare!, however, Senior Brother Ma suddenly came to visit at this time, and I am really uneasy in my heart! Senior Brother Ma wouldn't want to kill him, would he?"
When Ma Yilong heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Shangguan is really joking! I'm just a tenth-level Qi refining cultivator, not to mention whether I mean it or not, do you think I have the strength to kill you?"
Shangguan Long smiled, shook his head, and said, "You can't say that! Wang Xian was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and he didn't die in the hands of Senior Brother Ma just like that! I'm just a cultivator at the peak of qi refining, can I still be higher than Wang Xian?"
Ma Yilong sighed and said with a wry smile: "Since Senior Brother Shangguan is worried, I'll just say it! Wang He will come to you soon, he plans to pull Senior Brother Shangguan into the water and let you kill me, I want to know how Senior Brother Shangguan will deal with this matter?"
When Shangguan Long heard this, he was surprised. What hasn't happened yet, Ma Yilong was able to know in advance, which shows that he has special means. Based on this, Shangguan Long instantly concluded that it was not an accident that Ma Yilong was able to kill Wang Xian.
"Senior Brother Ma, don't worry!I don't like to be taken advantage of, and I will never agree to this!" Shangguan Long arched his hand and said with a serious face.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shangguan! Now that the matter has been clarified, the junior brother will leave!" Ma Yilong arched his hand and turned around to leave.
"Senior Brother Ma, slow down!"
Shangguan Long suddenly opened his mouth to stop Ma Yilong, and then turned around and entered the cave. Between breaths, Shangguan Long came out again, shook his hand and threw a spirit stone bag into Ma Yilong's hand. Ma Yilong swept it with his divine thoughts, and there were at least five hundred middle-grade spirit stones inside.
Ma Yilong smiled faintly, looked at Shangguan Long, and did not speak.
Shangguan Long smiled and arched his hand: "Senior Brother Ma has caused a big disaster now, it is better to leave the Purple Cloud Sect as soon as possible, these spirit stones will have some use! I, Shangguan Long, have never lacked spirit stones, nor have I lacked friends, and I don't want to make enemies with others!"
When Ma Yilong heard this, he nodded with a smile, didn't say a word, and turned to leave!
Shangguan Long's words are obvious, these spirit stones he gave to Ma Yilong are just to avoid enmity, not to make friends with Ma Yilong. For him, making friends with Ma Yilong is tantamount to going against the Wang family, and he is unwilling to do so. However, he also didn't want to offend Ma Yilong.
The reason why Ma Yilong did not refuse these spirit stones was also to tell Shangguan Long that he was also unwilling to make enemies with him.
In the following period of time, Ma Yilong went to visit the disciples of other Xiuxian families, although he did not visit all the children of the Xiuxian family, but several Ma Yilong, who had a good relationship with the Wang family, went. These people were also surprised by Ma Yilong's visit.
However, when Ma Yilong expressed his attitude, these people's actions were basically the same as Shangguan Long's, and the meaning they expressed was the same, neither wanting to be friends with Ma Yilong, nor wanting to offend Ma Yilong.
Before dawn, Ma Yilong returned to the cave. After this round of visits, he harvested more than 3,000 mid-rank spirit stones. Looking at these spirit stones, Ma Yilong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
When the children of the Immortal Cultivation Family gave Ma Yilong spirit stones, they all expressed the same meaning: Ma Yilong should leave the Purple Cloud Sect as soon as possible with these spirit stones, so as not to make the Wang family seek revenge on him.
In fact, Ma Yilong himself has long had this idea. Helplessly, the people of Qingyun Dao resolutely oppose it. For the Qingyun Dao people, once Ma Yilong leaves the Purple Cloud Sect, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, and he must find out if the head of the Chiyun Dao people designed to frame him before leaving. Ma Yilong also felt that what Qingyun Dao said made sense, but it was really not so easy to investigate and deal with this matter.
A day passed in a blink of an eye, and Ma Yilong didn't think of a good way, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly. In fact, Ma Yilong is not the only one who is sighing secretly, Zheng Jiang and Wang He are also sighing secretly.
During this day, Wang He visited almost all the children of the Immortal Cultivation Family. Of course, the first person he visited was Shangguan Long. However, everywhere he went, he was almost immediately rejected as soon as he opened his mouth!
With incomparable depression, Wang He told Zheng Jiang the result!
Zheng Jiang saw that his plan had failed, and he was extremely disappointed in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Jiang walked out of the cave door and decided to go to see Ma Yilong's situation first. However, when he reached the cave, he was stunned.
Suddenly there was an extra table in the cave, and there were three tablets side by side, which were engraved: Wang Xian's position, Wang He's position, and Zheng Jiang's position. In front of the three tablets, there is an incense bowl in each, and I don't know where Ma Yilong got it, at this time he was burning incense and worshipping.
Seeing Ma Yilong's strange behavior, Zheng Jiang stood on the spot in an instant, and his expression suddenly became stiff! Even if Zheng Jiang was cunning and scheming, he couldn't guess Ma Yilong's intentions at this moment!
