Chapter 1530 The Untamed 10
Jiang Cheng did not want to delve into the case of the Chang family's massacre by the perpetrators, but he unexpectedly discovered that there were traces of Yin Iron, so he had to stay in the investigation for a while.
That night, the Chang family's old residence welcomed the person Jiang Cheng was waiting for - Xue Yang.
Of course, he didn't recognize Xue Yang because he had lost his memory, but there were still traces of the Yin Iron on his body, which was enough for him to help the two fellow immortals behind him to stop Xue Yang.
Xue Yang was trapped by Jiang Cheng's whip as soon as he showed up. Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen, who were chasing Xue Yang, came over to announce their names and origins: "I am Xiao Xingchen, and this is Song Zichen from Baixue Temple."
Jiang Cheng also folded his hands and nodded in greeting, "I am Jiang Cheng Jiang Wanyin from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. This is Wei Ying Wei Wuxian, a disciple of my Jiang Clan. The other one is Lan Zhan Lan Wangji from the Gusu Lan Clan."
Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen were quite familiar with the children of the five great families, and hurriedly extended their greetings, and then talked about Xue Yang: "Zichen and I saw with our own eyes that Xue Yang was very cruel to the Chang family, but when we found out, Xue Yang had already committed the crime and was about to escape."
Song Zichen also said: "This Xue Yang is very cunning and scheming. We were both rookies and were fooled by him many times. Fortunately, we have some skills and were able to see through him, so we managed to keep him."
Wei Ying smiled and said, “It seems that the Chang family is quite important to Xue Yang. He didn’t forget to come back to visit even when he was escaping.”
Jiang Cheng immediately noticed that Xue Yang's previous expression of ridicule and disdain froze for a moment. It was obvious that Wei Ying's test was correct. Maybe Xue Yang had the Yin Iron in his hand and hid it somewhere in the Chang's mansion!
Xue Yang simply ignored Wei Ying's words and mocked him, "You noble family children are all so pretentious, but you are no different from the Chang family."
Jiang Cheng was indifferent to Xue Yang's little trick, and Wei Ying was not concerned about Xue Yang's experience because of the Yin Iron incident. However, he could not help but see that Lan Zhan, Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen all believed that human nature is good. After hearing Xue Yang's angry sarcasm, they felt that there might be some other reason behind his extermination of the Chang family.
Jiang Cheng secretly exchanged a glance with Wei Ying, who immediately leaned over to him with concern: "From what you said, it seems that you have suffered a lot under the Chang family. The three of us have also heard a lot of complaints from the people in the city these past two days. Can you tell me how you have been wronged?"
Wei Ying was born with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes. If he was one point sincere, he should be at least five points in the eyes of others. So even for Xue Yang, who had been struggling in a low-level environment since childhood, seeing that a child of a noble family was actually sincerely concerned about him, his heart softened a little, especially since Wei Ying also said that they had already asked the people in the city about their evaluation of the Chang family.
Xue Yang quickly concealed the slight emotion in his heart, snorted coldly, turned his face away from Wei Ying, and then talked about his childhood experience:
"I was born a beggar in Liyang City. I was just five years old that year. When Chang Cian, the head of the Chang family, saw me begging for help on the street, he poked his head out of a very gorgeous carriage to greet me. He handed me a letter and asked me to deliver it to the Chang family. The reward was just two candies."
"That was because I was still young, how could I resist the temptation of candy? Naturally I was very happy to help run errands."
"But I didn't expect that I would be beaten up for this. Not only that, but even my little finger was crushed by Chang Ci'an and it was completely gone!"
Not to mention that Lan Zhan, Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen were unable to accept it, even Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying were able to see the whole picture and were deeply dissatisfied with Chang's giant Buddha of Liyang.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Jiang Cheng spoke up: "You are indeed completely innocent in this matter, and it is natural for you to want to take revenge on the Chang family. Even if I was there that day, I would not stop you. Meeting you may be the retribution of the Chang family."
"But you shouldn't have used the Yin Iron Line to kill people. This has caused resentment and violence here to rise to the sky. Over time, it will definitely implicate the entire city!"
"How are you different from those people from the Liyang Chang Clan?"
Xue Yang had nothing to say and just scolded Jiang Cheng for being "hypocritical".
Xiao Xingchen knew about the power of Yin Iron from his master Bao Shan San, so he hurriedly asked Xue Yang where he hid Yin Iron, which caused Xue Yang to mock him even more: "I thought you, Taoist Xiao Xingchen, were really so glorious and brilliant, but after seeing you today, I realize you are a hypocrite."
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to talk to Xue Yang, and asked Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen directly: "Do you two Taoists still remember where Xue Yang escaped from that day?"
"This Xue Yang didn't run away from the crime scene, but came back after running around. Just as Ah Xian said before, maybe he hid something as important as the Yin Iron somewhere in the Chang family mansion."
Song Zichen and Lan Zhan volunteered to stay and guard Xue Yang. Xiao Xingchen quickly took Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying to search for the place where Xue Yang escaped that day, and indeed found a piece of Yin Iron fragment in the spine beast.
After getting the things, Xue Yang was no longer a problem. Song Zichen said that he would take Xue Yang back to Baixue Temple for treatment. Jiang Cheng had no objection, but he knew that Xue Yang was cunning, so he sealed Xue Yang's meager cultivation in front of Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen. "With less cultivation, Xue Yang will be more obedient, and he will cause less trouble to the two Taoist priests along the way."
Lan Zhan, who already had three pieces of Yin Iron shards, reluctantly proposed to return to the Cloud Recesses. Jiang Cheng, however, had a different opinion. "Now that you have three pieces of Yin Iron shards, the Cloud Recesses is in danger. After all, all of Wen Ruohan's methods will be used against the Cloud Recesses. Even if you are not afraid of Wen Ruohan, you cannot sacrifice the lives of other disciples at will."
Wei Ying also agreed, "Yes, Lan Zhan, the best way right now is to find a secret place with abundant spiritual energy, gather the strength of all the masters from our two families, and reseal the three Yin Iron fragments. This may prevent the Cloud Recesses from falling into crisis."
Lan Zhan understood the reason, just like he did with Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen before, even though they both recognized their character, they would not easily say a word about warmth. Their words and actions showed that they came to Liyang unintentionally, and happened to run into the Chang family being exterminated. When they were helping to exorcise the dead, they accidentally discovered traces of the Yin Iron being used.
Although the acting may not be well done, as long as Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen believe it, it is fine. As for whether Xue Yang will doubt it, it is not important at all. Anyway, even if he is lucky enough not to die, he will only stay in Baixue Temple for the rest of his life.
Lan Zhan urgently sent a message to the Cloud Recesses, and Jiang Cheng also quickly sent a message to the Lotus Pier. The three did not dare to go anywhere else, so they agreed to go south and try their luck in Nanyue.
