Chapter 867 -429: Depletion and Gain, Enhancement of Capabilities!_1
Outside Jade Lake.
Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he saw all three of them nodding in agreement.
The reason he made this request
was to prevent the leak of information.
There were still many cultivators in this place.
Once they left, if they wanted to return to the outside world through the South Heaven Gate,
they would inevitably encounter Nine Nether, who was guarding the South Heaven Gate.
Once they fell into the hands of Nine Nether, the news of what happened here would inevitably leak.
At that time, many variables could arise.
Being prepared and being unprepared are two different states.
If Nine Nether was unaware of what happened here, no matter how important she considered him, it would be difficult for her to avoid underestimating him.
That’s just human nature; it’s something that can’t be avoided.
As a mighty demon saint of the Fifth Heaven, how could she possibly pay much attention to a cultivator who, in her eyes, was at most in the Realm of the Cave?
And moreover,
if Nine Nether knew what had happened here, knowing that both Diting and Yuan Tuo, two demon saints of the Three Heavens, had fallen at his hands,
not to mention the earlier Eagle Wing, Fu Shan, and Ba Tuo had also fallen to him,
and that he had effortlessly defeated them, leaving them powerless to retaliate,
knowing all this,
she might make different choices.
That would be to give up on killing him here, to retreat directly from the South Heaven Gate, to avoid him and stay far away!
Not to engage with him here.
Once she chose to leave this side of the world, there would be nothing he could do about her.
It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Yuan made this request, asking them all to stay here for a day.
In this way, he could also assimilate the gains he had just made.
For every increase in power, the odds of victory against Nine Nether would rise by one point.
A demon saint of the Fifth Heaven, even if she could only use a tenth of her power here,
should not be underestimated!
To be on the safe side,
after his gains were fully assimilated, his capabilities would be multiple times stronger than they are now, and his chances of winning would increase several fold.
By then, whatever the final outcome,
whether he could keep her here or not,
he would have done his best.
As for whether these people here would cooperate with him?
Since Nie Yuan and the other two Third-Level Venerables agreed to his request, there was no need to worry.
Strong Ones naturally have their pride.
Especially those who have proven themselves to become Saints, they would not easily break their promises and tarnish their spiritual paths at this point in their journey.
So Jiang Yuan was not the least bit concerned about this.
Jiang Yuan then cupped his hands towards Nie Yuan and the other two saints and said, “Then, I shall thank Daoist Brother and the two Dao Friends.”
….
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yuan approached Ye Chanxi.
By this time, he had gathered all of the Demon Tribe’s physical bodies into his bag.
These Demon King bodies were each a great medicine for the human body, extremely beneficial for Jiang Yuan.
Naturally, he would not waste these great bodily medicines!
Ye Chanxi also nodded and quickly followed Jiang Yuan’s lead.
The two of them headed for Jade Lake once more.
As they approached, the four golden-armored holy soldiers once again kneeled on one knee in unison to salute.
Everyone watched quietly as Jiang Yuan and Ye Chanxi gradually disappeared into Jade Lake.
As the figures of the two vanished completely into the Immortal Mist, everyone’s heart sighed with relief.
Zhu Yan even showed a relieved expression.
He then spoke to Qing Ling, “Fairy Qing Ling, were both Fu Shan and Ba Tuo, these two demon saints, also taken down by Jiang Yuan?”
Qing Ling slowly withdrew her gaze from Jade Lake and then slowly nodded her head in response to Zhu Yan.
“That’s right!”
“And what about Kong Ming?” Zhu Yan asked again.
Qing Ling nodded again, then slowly shook her head.
“He should have been killed by Jiang Yuan as well, since the purple-gold bowl he just brought out is one I recognize—it’s the Taoist holy weapon of Kong Ming.”
“However, I did not witness that moment myself, nor did I ask Jiang Yuan, so I can’t be totally certain.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan heaved a long sigh.
“This youngster really doesn’t hold back when he strikes!”
“Not leaving a single one!” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“I think it’s very likely that Kong Ming, too, was killed by this youngster!”
“Nie Brother, what do you think?”
Zhu Yan posed this last question to Nie Yuan.
Nie Yuan could only smile wryly and said, “I have no idea! Why don’t you go ask him yourself?”
Hearing this, Zhu Yan immediately shook his head repeatedly.
“Forget it! With this youngster being so ruthless, I’m too lazy to satisfy my own curiosity and go provoking him.”
“It’s not up to me to pursue this matter anyway, let the Minor Thunder Temple handle it themselves!”
At this point, Zhu Yan’s face showed a hint of musing.
“I wonder if the Minor Thunder Temple would be willing to offend Jiang Yuan over Kong Ming’s death?”
“After all, Jiang Yuan is only in his twenties, and reaching this level at such an age, even the ancient sages didn’t have many who could compare with him.”
“Just give Jiang Yuan some more time, and once he comes into his own, even in the current world environment, the likelihood that Jiang Yuan will enter the Pinnacle of the Human Path is very high.”
“Would they really want to offend such a limitless heaven genius?”
At this moment, Qing Ling also shook her head slightly.
“I think the people at Minor Thunder Temple will feign ignorance!”
“After all, pursuing Jiang Yuan would inevitably offend him and with the protection of Dugu Bo, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.”
“They’re unlikely to do something that has no benefit and only harms!”
Hearing this, Nie Yuan nodded slightly.
“I think so too.”
…
Elsewhere.
Jiang Yuan, leading Ye Chanxi, was walking inside Jade Lake.
On both sides, the water in the pool was as smooth as a mirror.
A layer of mist, thin as gossamer, lingered on the water’s surface.
The surroundings were filled with red dawn Cloud Mist and auspicious vapors.
