Chapter 145 - I’m Really Not Ready This Time
Chapter 145: I’m Really Not Ready This Time
Outside, the other people from the Eighth Peak were somewhat surprised by the sudden change.
However, they could sense the Sword Intent.
It was the Sword Intent from Jiang Lan’s wooden sword.
It was currently targeted at the demonic dragon.
Then, they sensed that the Sword Intent was becoming stronger and stronger.
They thought that there would be a collision between the two parties, but the demonic dragon suddenly escaped into the depths of the lake.
There was some unwillingness in its eyes.
The Dragon Slaying Sword was indeed unreasonable.
Those people had long studied the Dragon Slaying Sword.
But no one could learn it.
However, the Dragon Slaying Sword did indeeed have a huge advantage against dragons.
“Do you think the demonic dragon will lose if they were to fight?”
“That will depend on how you define winning.
If they really fought just now, the demonic dragon would most likely be injured only.
As for the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit, he would likely be severely injured and on the verge of death.”
“Does that mean that the demonic dragon would definitely win?”
“Senior Brother, use your brain.” A female cultivator said unhappily.
“The Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit is only at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.
At worst, the demonic dragon has the strength of a human immortal.”
Everyone was shocked by these words.
That was a sure win.
Was the Dragon Slaying Sword that terrifying?
Perhaps they should take some time out everyday to read the book and see if they could learn the Dragon Slaying Sword as well.
What if they manage to learn it too?
It wouldn’t take much time to read it every day.
They could just treat it as learning another spell.
Lu Jian looked at Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu and heaved a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, Xiao Yu would wake up first.
The Sword Intent in her hand had already dissipated.
Unfortunately, she had yet to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword.
However, she still gained quite a bit this time. For example, she had a first-hand experience with the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
It was indeed a little scary.
The old farmer was different from the others.
If the Dragon Slaying Sword were used to fight against one’s peers, one could be invincible.
Fighting against the Dragon race with the Dragon Slaying Sword was indeed a huge advantage.
Xiao Yu did not think too much about it. If she had more time, she might be able to comprehend more.
From there, she would be able to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes shortly after.
When Lu Jian saw them wake up, he planned to tell them something.
When he opened his mouth, Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu naturally saw him.
“Senior Brother.” The two greeted respectfully.
Jiang Lan naturally wouldn’t forget the proper etiquette.
Otherwise, he would easily offend others.
Xiao Yu was just being polite.
“Do you know how long you’ve been sitting by the lake?” Lu Jian asked.
Jiang Lan shook his head.
He really did not know.
But it shouldn’t be for long.
When they cultivated, their strength would circulate in their bodies.
So there was no difference between sitting for a day and sitting for a year.
The surrounding dust would also not land on their body.
Unless his strength was completely restrained and closed off.
“Tommorow is the day of the Kunlun Ceremony. You two should know what’s happening tommorow right?” Lu Jian asked.
“Ah?” Xiao Yu was shocked before Jiang Lan could even react.
She then looked at Jiang Lan in a panic.
Jiang Lan was confused.
“I’m going back.” Without another word, Xiao Yu left on her sword.
Jiang Lan opened his mouth, wanting to return the wooden sword in his hand to Xiao Yu and thank her for her help in the Heart Realm Lake.
At that time, if not for this Senior Sister of his forcing back the demonic dragon, he would more or less have been injured.
However, before he could speak, Xiao Yu had already flown into the sky.
He could only wait for the next time.
“Is Junior Brother going back to the Ninth Summit too?” Lu Jian asked Jiang Lan.
After Xiao Yu left, he could chat with Jiang Lan for a while.
“Yes, I originally wanted to thank Martial Uncle first, but now I can only trouble Senior Brother to pass on the message for me.” Jiang Lan said in a low voice.
He did not see his Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit.
He could only ask Lu Jian for help.
“Alright.” Lu Jian nodded and said.
“I have something to ask Junior Brother.”
“Senior Brother, please speak.” Jiang Lan maintained his respectful tone.
The other party was very strong and had helped him choose a Dharma treasure.
“How did Junior Brother feel when you realized that you were going to marry the Goddess?” Lu Jian asked.
He originally wanted to ask if Jiang Lan learned the Dragon Slaying Sword because of the Goddess, but he hadn’t sensed any killing intent from the Dragon Slaying Sword previously.
It must be something else.
Thus, he had chose to ask this question instead.
He was really curious.
Jiang Lan fell silent. He couldn’t answer this question.
He wasn’t sure himself.
At that time, he should have resisted, but he couldn’t refuse.
Hate Senior Sister Ao?
He definitely didn’t hate her.
Like?
He definitely didn’t like her either.
Whether this matter was good or bad for him or whether he liked it or not, he had already chosen to accept it.
Naturally, he would try to deal with the subsequent problems that came with it.
And he would not blame the person who brought the problem to him.
After all, he was currently not very strong.
Moreover, from a third party’s perspective, the Goddess was not in the least bit bad.
At the very least, Jiang Lan had not discovered any flaws in her yet.
“Alright, Junior Brother, it’s best if you return quickly.
I hope I haven’t disturbed you, Junior Brother.” Said Lu Jian softly.
Jiang Lan didn’t give him a reply and he naturally didn’t press on.
“It’s alright,” Jiang Lan replied softly.
Then, he bid farewell and left.
Lu Jian was a little surprised as he watched Jiang Lan leave.
“I can’t believe Junior Brother is so calm about the engagement ceremony with the Goddess tomorrow. I’m impressed.”
…
After returning to the Ninth Summit’s main hall, Jiang Lan finally figured out the current time.
Then, his expression turned ugly.
“He’s actually different from Martial Aunt Miao Yue…”
This was the second time Jiang Lan had heard that the Kunlun Ceremony would be on the next day.
As a result, he thought it was just a joke from his senior brother Lu Jian.
Unexpectedly…
It was true.
This was too rushed, he wasn’t mentally prepared.
Soon, Jiang Lan received his master’s call.
“How did it go?”
Mo Zhengdong asked as he looked at Jiang Lan who had arrived at the peak of the Ninth Summit.
Because today was the last day, even if Jiang Lan didn’t comprehend anything, he still had to stop his cultivation.
Hence, he didn’t know if Jiang Lan had comprehended the Dragon Slaying Sword’s True Intent.
“I have not embarrassed Master.”
Jiang Lan replied immediately.
Mo Zhengdong nodded in satisfaction.
With the Dragon Slaying Sword, his disciple would have more confidence when facing the Dragon Race.
The Dragon Race would also not dare to casually shout at his disciple.
The matter of his disciple learning the Dragon Slaying Sword was known by many people recently. The Dragon Race should have also known about it.
Of course, it was impossible for them to change their mind about the candidate for the engagement.
“Do you know what day tomorrow is?” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan with a smile.
The Kunlun Ceremony was nothing to him. What he cared about was that there would be an announcement at the ceremony.
That was the marriage between Jiang Lan and the Goddess.
Jiang Lan lowered his head, maintaining his composure.
“Master, do I need to do anything tomorrow?”
He had no experience in such matters.
If he made a mistake, it would leave an unnecessary impression on others, so he could not make a mistake. This was practically adding trouble to himself.
As long as he passed the next day peacefully, he would be in seclusion for another few decades, and the influence of the engagement would be much lower when he came out again.
The number of people paying attention to him would also have decreased.
Furthermore, under the light of the Goddess, he would appear dull and lifeless.
In another hundred years, without anyone mentioning his name, he should be able to recover to his current state.
He would not be recognized even if he went out.
This way, he wouldn’t get into trouble.
At that time, he could continue cultivating in the Ninth Summit in peace and wait until the day he became invincible.
According to his master’s condition, he would then consider whether he should go out for a tour.
If his master was old and weak, he would have to stay on the Ninth Summit and guard the Netherworld Cave.
When he thought of this, Jiang Lan felt that his master was old and should be quite lonely.
Indeed, he should take the matter of finding him a wife to heart.
“What you need to do?” Mo Zhengdong shook his head.
“There’s no need to do anything. Just follow me tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll call you and the Goddess’ names. You two just need to walk together to the main hall.
The two parties should also give you two a token and bless you two.
However, the engagement will also make you be bound by karma. Don’t be too surprised when the time comes.”
Jiang Lan naturally understood.
The marriage contract between him and Senior Sister Ao had not been casually decided.
Once it was decided, neither the dragons nor Kunlun could go back on their word.
Jiang Lan was curious as to how Senior Sister Ao thought of this.
But it was impossible for him to know.
