Chapter 132: Number Two Under the Heavens, Mountain Spirit Snake
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“The Emperor is doing well. Just like the era name, he is indeed benevolent and cares about the people. However, in recent years, he has insisted on inheriting the deceased emperor’s will to expand his territory. I wonder if the war will affect the lives of the people in Great Jing.”
The waiter lamented. That was also what most people in the capital thought.
They sat on the resources of the 72 states and lived happily. Naturally, they hoped that the dynasty would be peaceful and there would be fewer wars.
Even though they were dissatisfied with the Emperor’s war, no one denied his achievements.
For the commoners to discuss it like this, it was enough to show the Emperor’s benevolence. If it were Jing Taizong, he would have been beheaded for speaking ill of the emperor.
“The will of the previous emperor? Isn’t Emperor Jing Wen a fatuous ruler who likes to enjoy life?” Jiang Luo asked in surprise.
The waiter was even more surprised and said, “Dear customer, what Emperor Jing Wen? The previous emperor was Jing Taizong. The era of Qianwu has long passed. It is now the 8th year of the Rende Era.”
8th year of the Rende Era…
Jiang Luo froze as if he had been struck by lightning, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
The waiter was frightened and hastily retreated, closing the door at the same time.
Jiang Luo walked to the table and sat down. He placed his right hand on the table and clenched his fist as he tried to restrain his emotions.
He originally thought that he did not care about this kinship, but when he really heard that his father had passed away, his heart was still in chaos.
He could not tell if it was sadness or anger.
“How can you die so early… Can’t you wait for me, your son? Or have you forgotten about me…”
Jiang Luo muttered to himself, and his lips began to turn pale.
He had specially calculated his age, fearing that Jiang Ziyu would not live past a hundred years old. He did not expect him to die so early.
At that moment, Jiang Luo felt unprecedented loneliness.
The Four Seas Sage was dead, and so was his father. He really had no family in this world. Who would remember him?
Jiang Luo looked at the palace with a complicated expression.
Soon, he made a decision.
At night, he would go to the palace to see the current emperor.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and looked at Bai Qi in the medicinal cauldron before looking at the capital.
“The aura of the Universe realm. Why are there so many Universe realm experts these days…”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. He secretly looked forward to it and hoped that the other party was here to challenge him.
How powerful was the Universe realm? It was impossible for them to be here for a vacation.
However, the aura of this Universe realm expert was somewhat erratic, far inferior to the Sword God.
Jiang Changsheng also discovered Jiang Luo’s reincarnation mark. This kid was right beside that Universe realm expert. Could that Universe realm expert be the Evil Lord?
The Sword God did not notice the Evil Lord’s arrival. He stood in front of the
medicinal cauldron, concerned about Jiang Jian’s condition while Ping’an joined in the fun.
After staying on the mountain for a long time, the Sword God had great appreciation for Jiang Jian. He felt that they had the same temper, so he treated Jiang Jian as his grandson. He was also worried that something would happen to Jiang Jian. Of course, he was more looking forward to Jiang Jian’s future. He believed that as long as Jiang Jian continued to grow, he would certainly become the number one in the world!
No, second in the world.
Jiang Changsheng was not worried about Jiang Jian. That kid had a low-grade Eye of the Great Dao, so how could he die so easily?
Night gradually fell.
Jiang Changsheng was teaching Bai Qi to circulate her energy when he suddenly sensed something. He looked at the palace and narrowed his eyes.
Why did this kid enter the palace?
Jiang Changsheng began to pay attention to the situation in the palace. After all, Jiang Luo had grown up in Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, so he did not have a deep relationship with his siblings. In fact, he could even be said to be a
stranger. Coupled with the fact that he had been wandering with the Evil Lord for many years, he was worried that Jiang Luo would harm his brothers. If that was the case, then he would have no choice but to take action.
Of course, he did not want to kill Jiang Luo. Instead, he would lock him up on the mountain and teach him a lesson. After all, Jiang Luo’s life was indeed tough, and it was easy for him to go astray.
Within the palace.
Jiang Luo moved forward quickly. He noticed that even though the palace was heavily guarded, there were not many experts.
“You’re too lax as an emperor. Aren’t you afraid that an enemy will kill you in the middle of the night?”
Jiang Luo was secretly disdainful and dissatisfied with the Emperor.
He fumbled all the way and finally found the imperial study.
It was said that the Emperor was diligent in politics, so he should not have fallen asleep yet. As expected, the oil lamp in the imperial study was still lit, and there were many eunuchs and White-robed Guards gathered outside the door.
He carefully came to the window of the imperial study. It was unknown as to what martial arts technique he was using, but it used that technique to turn into the same color as the wall.
He quietly stuck his head out and looked through the window. Inside, Jiang Xiu was facing him and reviewing the memorials.
Jiang Luo was in a trance as he looked at the side profile that was identical to his own.
The Emperor was indeed him.
Jiang Xiu was obviously exhausted as he yawned continuously. His eyes were also tired. He poured out a pill from the bottle on the table and consumed it. Then, he patted his face and continued to review the memorials.
There were many memorials piled up on the table and on the ground.
When he saw how diligent Jiang Xiu was, the dissatisfaction in Jiang Luo’s heart gradually faded.
Right at this moment!
Jiang Luo suddenly leaped up and saw the God of Thieves descending from the sky and landing in front of the window sill with a dagger in his hand.
The God of Thieves turned his head and looked at Jiang Luo who had landed on the wall. He asked in a deep voice, “How dare you trespass the palace? Are you courting death?”
Jiang Xiu was alarmed and immediately stood up to go to the window sill.
Jiang Luo’s back was facing the moon, so others could not see his face. However, Jiang Luo could see Jiang Xiu’s face.
They were twins, but Jiang Luo had never seen Jiang Xiu since they were born.
They were supposed to be best brothers, but right now, they were like strangers.
Jiang Luo felt inexplicably upset about this.
A large number of White-robed Guards rushed over and spread out in all directions, surrounding Jiang Luo. There were even White-robed Guards on the roof of the palace.
Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Luo and his heartstrings inexplicably trembled. For some reason, he felt that the other party was not an assassin. He immediately said, “Capture him and don’t hurt him.”
The God of Thieves immediately rushed to Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo directly leaped into the night sky and looked down at everyone.
A True God!
Everyone’s heart sank.
Jiang Luo looked at Jiang Xiu for a while before he turned around and left. There were no True Gods in the palace to stop him.
In front of the window sill, Jiang Xiu’s expression became complicated as he muttered, “Is that you…”
To be able to leave the palace safely, that person must be from the Jiang Family. After all, his grandfather did not take action.
The only True God of the Jiang Family was Jiang Jian, but it was impossible for Jiang Jian to peek at him late at night.
No, there was another person.
A forgotten member of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Changsheng watched Jiang Luo leave the palace. Seeing that Jiang Luo did not hurt anyone, he roughly understood the kid’s thoughts.
rlow silly.
The moon set and the sun rose.
However, Jiang Luo did not sleep the entire night.
Until the Evil Lord came to him and asked if he wanted to go to Longqi Temple together.
Jiang Luo was also very interested in the Dao Ancestor. He tore off a piece of cloth and tied it to his forehead to cover up his birthmark. Then, he disguised himself and followed the Evil Lord to Longqi Temple.
When the master and disciple arrived at Martial Peak, they lined up to ascend the mountain. Jiang Luo was shocked when he saw the lively atmosphere and the long queue of devotees.
“With so many people going up the mountain, does Longqi Temple still care about incense money?”
Jiang Luo muttered. He could not understand.
This was the holy land of Great Jing.
The Evil Lord smiled and said, “The Dao Ancestor’s actions are unpredictable.” The master and disciple went up the mountain.
An hour later, they arrived at the entrance. The Evil Lord did not challenge the Dao Ancestor. Instead, he queued up to buy incense.
At that moment, an old man came from the mountain gate with a broom in his hand. He walked all the way to the Evil Lord and Jiang Luo before his gaze landed on Jiang Luo. “The Dao Ancestor wants to see you. Follow me.”
The Evil Lord narrowed his eyes. He realized that he could not see through this person.
The Sword God also glanced at the Evil Lord. His intuition told him that the other party was also in the Universe realm.
Jiang Luo was stunned and subconsciously looked at the Evil Lord.
The Evil Lord smiled and said, “Go ahead, I’ll take a walk myself.”
Jiang Luo took a deep breath and immediately followed the Sword God into the temple.
The surrounding visitors were in an uproar, and the disciples looked at Jiang Luo in surprise.
Who was this person that could obtain a personal audience from the Dao Ancestor?
Along the way, Jiang Luo was very nervous. The Dao Ancestor’s reputation was too resounding. Even his master did not dare to confront him head-on. How could he not be nervous when he was so frightened by the other party that they fled to Tianhai?
“Why does he want to see me?”
“Did he see through my disguise?”
“Or is it because I snuck into the palace last night?”
When Jiang Luo thought of last night, he suddenly felt afraid. He was too rash. How could the Emperor be relaxed about his security? He was completely relying on the Dao Ancestor to be fearless.
The Sword God had his back facing him and was also secretly puzzled. He did not understand why the Dao Ancestor wanted to see this kid and not that Universe realm expert.
The two of them did not speak along the way. They left Martial Peak and crossed the overpass to arrive at Longqi Mountain.
As soon as they entered Longqi Mountain, the celestial mist filled the air, making Jiang Luo even more nervous. The visibility here was very low.
All of a sudden, he caught a glimpse of a huge beast surging in the immortal mist. It was definitely not a hallucination. He even felt something staring at him, making his hair stand on end.
“Don’t worry, the Mountain Spirit Snake is curious about you. It has a gentle personality and will not hurt you.”
The Sword God’s voice floated over, making Jiang Luo even more curious.
Mountain Spirit Snake?
How strong?
After a while, they finally arrived at Jiang Changsheng’s courtyard.
“It hurts!”
As soon as Jiang Luo arrived, he heard Bai Qi’s screams. After he entered the courtyard, he saw two medicinal cauldrons. A man sat in the cauldron, and a burly man that looked like a monster was guarding the cauldron. There was also a white dog in another cauldron. It was pressed down by a young Daoist with an otherworldly temperament, looking like it could not break free.
Jiang Luo’s gaze fell on the young Daoist.
He was stunned. Even though they were both men, he felt that Jiang Changsheng was good-looking. This was a kind of appearance that exceeded ordinary people’s imagination, and it was the same with his temperament.
After the Sword God entered the courtyard, he began to sweep the floor and ignored Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo felt uneasy and did not know what to do.
Jiang Changsheng did not look at him, but his voice floated over. “Stinky brat, why aren’t you coming? Do you have to be invited by Grandmaster?”
Hearing Jiang Changsheng call him a stinky brat, Jiang Luo was shocked and inexplicably felt a lump in his throat.
It turned out that there was someone in this world who still remembered him.
Jiang Jian opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Luo in confusion. Bai Qi also forgot about the pain and turned to look at Jiang Luo.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Luo took a deep breath and bowed to Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng turned his head and smiled. “Jian’er, this is your second brother, Jiang Luo.”
Jiang Jian widened his eyes and immediately stood up. The potion splattered on the ground and he cried out in pleasant surprise, “Second Brother, you’re finally back! I wanted to go to Xiansheng Grotto-heaven to avenge you, but I hadn’t reached the Golden Body realm and the Grandmaster won’t allow me to go down the mountain.”
Hearing this, Jiang Luo’s mood became even more complicated as he looked at Jiang Jian in disbelief.
He did not know Jiang Jian, but he knew that the other party was his biological brother. He was touched and ashamed that the other party had been worried about him.
Jiang Luo looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked, “How did you know what happened to me?”
