Chapter 837 - 398: Jiang Yunxian’s Past! One of the Top Five in the World

Chapter 837: Chapter 398: Jiang Yunxian’s Past! One of the Top Five in the World

The sky was blue, and the silver-white airplane glided over Yujing City, heading towards Zhenwu Mountain.

Inside the cabin, Zhang Fan sat by the window, feeling as if his body was full of lice.

He twisted uneasily, his peripheral vision always inadvertently glancing at the back seats. The feeling was akin to sitting on pins and needles, like thorns on his back or fish bones in his throat.

To put it mildly, this journey was the most torturous for Zhang Fan.

The reason was simple: the three people seated behind him were too peculiar.

No need to elaborate on Jiang Yunxian; she wasn’t just Li Yishan’s stepmother but also one of the leaders of the Three Palaces of Wuwei Sect, the Lord of the Profound Palace.

Beside her sat two individuals, one of whom was the Elder Ape of Laojun Mountain, a top Great Demon in the world.

The other was the youngest Celestial Master from Zhongnan Mountain.

Jiang Yunxian, Ye Beichen, Cang Qingtian!

These three were actually traveling on the same flight and seated together, making the coincidence feel eerily strange.

"Young man, are your kidneys not good, moving around like that?"

Just then, Cang Qingtian’s voice came from behind, buzzing like a drum, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding passengers whose gazes fell on Zhang Fan.

"Go to the toilet if your kidneys aren’t good," Cang Qingtian added.

The passing stewardess couldn’t help but stop, glanced at Zhang Fan, causing him to blush and quickly bow his head.

"What’s wrong with you? Uneasy mind?"

Fang Changle glanced over and whispered.

"I..."

Zhang Fan hesitated to speak, but pulled out his phone, opened the message app, and composed a text.

"The one behind is the Lord of the Profound Palace!"

The message flickered before Fang Changle, and Zhang Fan quickly deleted it.

However, the simple sentence made Fang Changle’s expression drastically change.

"Lord..."

He couldn’t help but exclaim, but Zhang Fan kicked his foot down on Fang Changle’s, almost stamping through the airplane.

Fang Changle hastily silenced himself, turned to see Zhang Fan glaring fiercely at him.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhang Fan had been uneasy since he sat down.

This flight was too terrifying, too bizarre.

"Lord of the Profound Palace!"

Just then, an indifferent voice came from behind, buzzing like a drum, from Cang Qingtian’s mouth.

The simple four words sent a chill up Zhang Fan and Fang Changle’s spines.

The two exchanged a glance, seeing deep suspicion in each other’s eyes.

"Inheritance from the father, but you follow your husband. Li Cunsi has been dead for so many years, yet you took up the mantle of Lord of the Profound Palace."

Cang Qingtian leaned against the outermost seat, eyes closed, his indifferent words tinged with mockery.

"Elder Ape, you’ve stayed away from Laojun Mountain for nearly twenty years, right?"

Jiang Yunxian leaned against the window with her chin on her hand, her demeanor relaxed and casual.

Ye Beichen was seated between her and Cang Qingtian.

"I remember the last time you came down the mountain, you were hunting Zhang Lingzong."

"Hmph!"

Cang Qingtian’s eyes remained closed, letting out a cold hum: "Back then, he was merely a young fleeing rascal, defeated like a stray dog."

"Indeed."

"At that time, his Divine Techniques hadn’t formed, barely surviving the second Tribulation of Great Night." Jiang Yunxian reminisced.

"Nevertheless, Elder Ape, you failed to strangle him in the cradle, instead falling for the tricks of that old cat at Ailao Mountain."

Upon these words, Jiang Yunxian’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Hmph!"

Cang Qingtian coldly snorted: "That old thing merely relied on Ailao Mountain’s terrain. If it dared step beyond, I would not fear it."

In terms of age, that old cat was even older than him, possibly one of the oldest surviving Great Demons today.

Over time, the old cat’s Dao Practice was undeniably profound, leveraging Ailao Mountain’s unique terrain among the demons of the mountains and seas. Except for the so-called number one Demon, King Yan, none could overshadow it.

"Elder Ape, so many years of cultivation, it seems all spent on your mouth," Jiang Yunxian taunted.

"If you wish to die, just say so."

Cang Qingtian’s voice suddenly chilled, his eyes snapped open, gaze sharp as lightning.

Instantly, Zhang Fan and Fang Changle’s expressions changed drastically, feeling an invisible pressure surging from behind, towering like a mountain, and vast like a wild giant beast.

"Yunxian, you’re too close to Zhang Lingzong, too deeply influenced by him."

At that moment, Ye Beichen spoke.

"If not for him, you wouldn’t have met Li Cunsi, nor would you have left Zhenwu Mountain!"

At those words, Zhang Fan’s gaze trembled, even Fang Changle beside him showed a peculiar expression.

"Zhenwu Mountain!?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

Li Yishan’s stepmother, the esteemed Lord of the Profound Palace, was actually a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain!?

"Had it not been for him, perhaps you would have been Dao companions with Liu Nanxu, a celestial couple, a notable romance," Ye Beichen mused.

With these words, the expression on Zhang Fan’s face grew more splendid, and even Fang Changle displayed suspicion.

Liu Nanxu, the youngest Celestial Master of Zhenwu Mountain, was a figure on par with Ye Beichen, seemingly with an unclear past with the Lord of the Profound Palace.

However, as per Ye Beichen’s words, if Jiang Yunxian indeed hailed from Zhenwu Mountain, then she and Liu Nanxu should be considered senior and junior, with a hint of childhood bond.

"This circle is really..." Zhang Fan curled his lips, thought to himself.

The relationships among people are always more intricate and fascinating than imagined.
