Chapter 1553 The Untamed 33
How could Jin Zixuan be really brainless when he provoked Jiang Cheng all the way? He was just following Jin Guangshan's orders and wanted to frame Jiang Cheng.
The Yunmeng Jiang Clan holds all the fragments of Yin Iron. Everyone was worried that Jiang Cheng would take the position of Immortal Leader and become the second Wen Ruohan. After all, they had just experienced a great war, and everyone was really afraid of the Yin Iron.
But Jiang Cheng's performance in the Sun Shooting Campaign was too brilliant. Unless he immediately became obsessed, his influence could not be ignored. Moreover, the second son of the Lan family was always by his side, which clearly showed the close relationship between the two families.
The worst thing is that the friendship between the Lan family and the Nie family has continued for several generations. The relationship between the two families is already close. Even though the Nie family seems to have an average relationship with the Jiang family now, if the Lan family is willing to act as a middleman, then among the four great families, only the Jin family will be isolated!
So no matter whether it is to satisfy his own selfish desires or for the future development of the Jin family, Jin Guangshan cannot let Jiang Cheng sit on the position of Immortal Leader!
But the bad thing is that although Jiang Cheng has a bad temper, he never lacks sense of propriety.
He almost tolerated Jin Zixun's insults, and even when he got angry, he only broke one of Jin Zixun's fingers. Even if the thumb was gone, Jin Zixun's entire right hand would be disabled, but after all, Jin Zixun's right hand was still there. People would at most say that Jiang Cheng did it, and would not be indignant, let alone feel that one's teeth are in danger when the other is gone.
The Jin family destroyed Jin Zixun, but saw that they could not gain anything at all. Jin Guangshan wished that he could kill Jiang Cheng on the spot immediately.
It’s a pity that the fighting ability displayed by Jiang Cheng was so amazing. With Wen Ruohan’s previous experience still fresh in his mind, Jin Guangshan restrained himself well.
Nie Mingjue also expressed his attitude: "If Xichen can take on the position of Immortal Supervisor, that would be great."
"Xichen is an upright person who handles things fairly. I believe he can manage the hundreds of immortal families well."
Jiang Cheng also smiled and said, "Sect Master Nie is right. This is exactly why I recommended Zewu Jun."
Just as Lan Huan was about to say something modest, Jin Guangshan spoke in a sinister tone, "Sect Master Jiang, why don't you consider yourself? You, Sect Master Jiang, have unparalleled cultivation, and you are a hero in the Sun Shooting Campaign. You are also fair in your conduct."
Jiang Cheng said modestly: "I think I am fair in my dealings, but sometimes I do have a bad temper. I hate evil and cannot stand anything bad."
"But as the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Moreover, Lord Zewu is upright, fair, and tolerant. He is obviously more suitable for such an important position as the Immortal Supervisor."
So the position of Immortal Leader was confirmed today. Lan Zhan had told Lan Huan about it in advance, so Lan Huan no longer rejected more responsibilities.
Jin Guangshan had prepared a lot of "programs", but he no longer had the chance to perform them.
On the way back to Lotus Pier, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying quietly left the team and headed towards Yiling, while Lan Zhan followed Jiang Cheng from the beginning.
The matter of Yin Tie was of great importance. Lan Qiren had written repeatedly asking for an explanation, but was persuaded by the brothers Lan Huan and Lan Zhan. Naturally, the current situation was not explained to him.
But as an old friend who had gone night hunting with Cangse Sanren, Lan Qiren was of course very worried about Wei Ying's safety, so he sent a letter to Jiang Fengmian to inquire about Wei Ying's true situation.
Jiang Fengmian couldn't say that Wei Ying had been gifted by heaven and was about to fulfill the mission bestowed by God. He could only say that Wei Ying's situation was still good. He had refined the Yin Iron and could control the Yin Iron to stop absorbing resentment, spiritual energy or any other kind of Qi. There was no need to worry about resentment entering his body and harming his body and mind.
This made sense, so Lan Qiren could only temporarily put aside his worries about Wei Ying and Yin Tie and instead help Lan Huan to revise the Lan family rules.
Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan successfully arrived at a small town outside the Yiling Mass Burial Mounds.
Looking at the words Yicheng on the city wall, Wei Ying couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that the situation at the mass grave is getting more and more serious, otherwise this place wouldn't have been directly renamed Yicheng."
Yicheng is truly worthy of being called Yicheng. There are no bustling restaurants and few people on the streets. You can still see paper money flying in the wind, and there is absolutely no sound of children.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid that Yicheng will be completely abandoned in ten years or so."
Lan Zhan thought, although Yicheng would not be completely abandoned in ten years, it was certain that only the elderly and the weak would be living in the city by then.
We finally found an inn to stay in. The owner came over in person to warmly welcome us and answered all our questions without hesitation.
Wei Ying asked: "How do the people in this city make a living?"
The shopkeeper sighed, "In Yicheng, although most people who can leave have left because it is next to the mass grave, there are still many monks who go into the mass grave every year. Although very few monks can come out intact, this just gives most ordinary people in the city a job to survive - going in and carrying corpses."
"If you're lucky, you can wait for a monk who is looking for his relatives and friends in a month or two, and the reward can be spent for two to three years."
"But now the situation in Yicheng has become increasingly worse. If this business can be turned into a success, everyone will move away quickly. Especially in the past two years, there have been fewer monks entering the mass graves, so this business has almost stopped, so many people have left again."
Jiang Cheng had nothing to ask, but Wei Ying was curious about what else in this mass grave could have attracted the cultivators.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "For ordinary people like us, if it's not for a living, we would never go near the mass grave. But there are many monks who died there, so there must be a lot of treasures left behind. Moreover, not all monks follow the right path. Besides, even if some materials look bad, they can still be used."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but give the shopkeeper a thumbs up: "The shopkeeper is right. This simple object will never hurt anyone by itself. The only ones who can hurt people are the people holding the objects."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but blush when Jiang Cheng praised him. He waved his hands and said modestly, "No, no, I just heard it. I just think it makes sense. And I just happened to be talking about this, so I'm showing off."
The mass graves are indeed rich in resources, and some of the resources are only available in these mass graves, so Wen Ruohan had set up a number of supervisory offices in Yiling. However, after the Wen family collapsed, these supervisory offices were abandoned.
Jiang Cheng looked at the dilapidated Supervisory Office and couldn't help but say, "In the hands of the Wen Clan, this Supervisory Office is a tool to suppress the hundreds of immortal sects, but we can also turn it into a front line to help ordinary people solve their problems."
Jiang Cheng's words reminded Lan Zhan of the Supervisory Office system proposed by Meng Yao, who was renamed Jin Guangyao in his memory. He also felt that the Supervisory Office should be retained, and it would be best if it could be extended to sparsely populated areas.
