Chapter 73 A Friend
Above the clouds, the flying boat was not moving very fast.
Many sects in the world are heading to Nanhai Creek. They are neither the first nor the last batch, so they are not in a hurry, which gives them enough time to rest as they have just come out of Lingdu.
But Jiang Yu had something on his mind, he couldn't calm down to rest, he couldn't muster the energy to practice, and even when he forced himself to read some books to pass the time, he couldn't concentrate.
She felt that she needed to be alone for some time, but at the same time she was bored with this space where she was all alone. After lying on her back on the bed and emptying her mind for a while, she suddenly stood up and decided to go to the railing to get some fresh air.
Although it was called wind, it wasn't that strong. There was a barrier above the flying boat, so she could only feel a slight breeze while standing by the railing. But for someone who was in a bad mood, something was better than nothing.
Jiang Yu stood at the railing and tried to look down, but no matter how good the eyesight of a cultivator was, she could only see some cities except for the green and blue patches under the white clouds.
She looked up at the sky again, and in a trance, the sky seemed to be right in front of her, but when she reached out to touch it, she only encountered nothingness.
Jiang Yu blinked, his vision became clear again, he silently withdrew his outstretched hand, and sighed softly.
I don’t know whether those legendary ascended gods really live above the sky.
"Miss Jiang."
A shadow fell on her side and a familiar voice was heard, forcing Jiang Yu to put all his thoughts aside and return to his usual cheerful self.
She hadn't seen Jun Mo for two days. He changed into black clothes and took off the silver hair crown on his head and replaced it with a black headband. The white Cangyu jade pendant hanging around his waist became the only bright color.
Jiang Yu tilted his head to look at him and said jokingly, "Although black looks different on you, Mr. Jun, I think you look better in light-colored clothes."
"Black is more resistant to dirt and more convenient." Jun Mo smiled nonchalantly, lowered his eyes to look at his own black outfit, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yu's red and gold outfit for a few more times: "Miss Jiang, you look good in any color."
Jiang Yu snorted twice and turned his head back: "Of course, I will definitely wear all the colors in the world in the future."
Jun Mo smiled silently, took a half step forward and stood beside her, followed her line of sight and fell on a point in the void, and suddenly asked: "I heard that Jing Mo came out?"
Jiang Yu paused, said "hmm", and asked casually: "Did Wei Xu and the others tell you?"
She was not surprised that he knew about it. Firstly, Jing Mo's awakening was a big deal, and they had no intention of keeping it secret. Secondly, Jun Mo was in the City Lord's Mansion, and anyone who had entered the secret room at the time could find out something by asking them.
According to her father, whether Jing Mo comes out is just a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, Jun Mo shook his head and said, "My master told me through a message."
"Your master?" Jiang Yu was a little surprised, "So soon?"
Although it is difficult to stop people from talking, almost no one in Lingdu has gone out of the city in the past few days, so the news cannot get out. Even if the news is spread after they leave, it should not be so fast.
She thought about it and managed to come up with a possibility: "Has your master gone to Lingdu?"
Jun Mo shook his head again: "If Master went to Lingdu, I wouldn't have to shamelessly take the Sun Moon Immortal Sect's flying boat."
"They encountered an evil demon on their way to Nanhai Creek, and learned from the evil demon that their master had come out." He paused for a moment, and continued, "He also threatened that their master would unify the three realms in a short time."
"Not only that." Jun Mo smiled and glanced at her profile. "Miss Jiang, you are now famous all over the world." Jiang Yu glanced at him and barely got his mind off the news that Jing Mo had broken the seal. He replied casually, "Among all the immortals, aren't there many who know my name?"
Whether it was her identity as a demon princess that she used to make a high-profile appearance at the beginning, or the bizarre incident of her later transformation from Cangwu's daughter to Song Hui's daughter, it was enough for many gossip lovers to investigate her name.
"This time it's not because of whose daughter the girl is." He said, "The girl became famous because she and her fellow clan members exposed Wen Ren Huai's true identity and protected the safety of the people in the city."
Jiang Yu smiled lightly and said nothing, but his heart sank.
News that shouldn't have spread so quickly was spread so quickly, it was nothing but someone secretly fanning the flames; a simple task could make her famous, it was nothing but someone was helping her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jun Mo lowered his head and smiled, then stood with her at the fence for a while, thinking about life.
"If one day you suddenly find out that you won't live long--" Jun Mo suddenly said.
Jiang Yu was caught off guard by this sentence, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly came to his senses and turned to look at him: "Who will not live long?"
Her eyes were fixed on his brows, afraid to miss any expression on his face.
Does he know?
Jiang Yu's heart was beating like thunder. Although they had no intention of hiding the fact that Jing Mo had broken the seal, they had no plans to announce the matter of the savior.
Jun Mo seemed to not understand Jiang Yu's big reaction. He smiled awkwardly and said, "When I first came down the mountain, I met a friend, a man. Some time ago, a doctor told him that he didn't have much time left. He was a little scared, so he didn't tell anyone—"
Didn't tell anyone?
Jiang Yu snorted and laughed.
Jun Mo seemed to have noticed this as well, and quickly explained, "I only saw his letter after I recovered from my injury. He said he didn't know what to do, so..."
His voice weakened, his expression was sincere, and the sadness between his brows did not seem fake. Jiang Yu frowned: "Why is there not much time left?"
Jun Mo was silent for a moment, and under Jiang Yu's urging gaze, he slowly said: "It's a blood formation."
Blood array?
Something familiar again.
Jiang Yu frowned even deeper, almost thinking that Jun Mo was testing her after knowing about the savior.
Jun Mo carefully glanced at her expression and saw that she was frowning, so he quickly added: "But he is an extremely upright cultivator who supports good and punishes evil, and eliminates violence. The reason why he used the blood formation was because he was surrounded by evil spirits and there was a village of villagers behind him, so he had to draw the formation with blood."
His tone was still sincere, but Jiang Yu was skeptical about his statement. Although she had been down the mountain for a short time, she knew very well that an upright cultivator would never use something like the blood formation easily.
The blood formation has always been associated with evil practitioners. It is more of a transaction than a formation. Through this formation, a semi-forced transaction is made with the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who gets something will pay an unimaginable price.
The most precious thing in the world is life, so most of the formations drawn by evil cultivators are infused with evil energy. They use people's lives and resentment before death as bargaining chips to ask for things from the Heavenly Dao. In order to appease these resentments, the Heavenly Dao usually has to satisfy their demands.
This kind of formation has a high possibility of backlash and requires a huge price to be paid. It is not allowed to be learned in the immortal sect. People in the immortal sect can usually only recognize it but do not understand the tricks behind it. If they try to operate it, they will suffer backlash if they are not careful.
