Jiang Lan took out the medicinal pill and showed it to A Si, whose eyes widened. "Can one Wuji Zijing exchange for so many medicinal pills? I instantly feel like it was worth it even if I was beaten half to death."
The crowd burst into laughter. "You kid, it wouldn't be worth it if you were beaten to death."
"If I were beaten to death, but could protect the Wuji Zijing and exchange it for so many medicinal pills, it would still be worth it!" A Si's face was that of a greedy merchant. "We are desperately in need of medicinal pills. Jiang Ge, you were injured by Chi Yuan last time, and you couldn't even properly heal. With so many medicinal pills, we won't have to worry about having no medicine for injuries for a while."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Your injuries have just healed, you need to rest well." Jiang Lan patted A Si's shoulder, signaling him to rest.
"Wait, Jiang Ge, the Chi clan failed to snatch the Wuji Zijing, and they will definitely bring their clansmen to cause trouble at Zhongzhou Street..."
"They have already been here."
"Damn it, I knew these despicable people wouldn't give up. Jiang Ge, was anyone injured?"
"No." Jiang Lan signaled A Si not to worry. "They didn't cause any trouble and left directly."
"How is that possible? Chi Yuan is not someone to be trifled with. Jiang Ge, don't lie to me, were any more fellow disciples injured?"
"No one was injured. Chi Yuan and his group were scared away by a newly arrived junior disciple."
"A newcomer arrived? So powerful, they could scare away Chi Yuan?" A Si didn't believe it. Chi Yuan was at the early stage of Nascent Soul. How could he be easily scared away by a newcomer?
"It's true. The new junior disciple, Nangong, has already reached the perfection of Nascent Soul realm."
"Such a powerful individual, why hasn't she gone to Futu City?"
"Fortunately, she hasn't gone to Futu City yet, otherwise, we would be in great trouble today." Another person chimed in. "You have no idea how arrogant junior disciple Nangong was when she arrived. Senior Brother Li was unhappy and provoked her, and she directly suppressed him to the ground with her pressure, leaving him unable to move."
"Shut up!" Li Jiu glared at the speaker. He had initially thought Xiao Man was just a boastful scoundrel, but he hadn't expected her to possess such formidable abilities.
"How old is this junior disciple?"
"In her early forties."
"A peak expert at the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, my heavens, she can rival the demonic lord Xiao Qin."
Jiang Lan's expression flickered. Yes, she could indeed rival Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin was also a peak expert in her thirties or forties, but Xiao Qin would never dare to come to the Holy Land of the Divine Race!
"You're overthinking it. Xiao Qin is an enemy of the Divine Race. Does she want to die? How could she come to the Holy Land of the Divine Race? No matter how powerful she is, she's just one person. Here, there are nearly a hundred powerful experts at the Nascent Soul stage. One punch from any of them could kill her."
"That's true." Everyone sighed. "However, with junior disciple Nangong staying here, it benefits us greatly. It's a shame, but with her cultivation, she will likely be summoned by the Divine Lord very soon and enter Futu City."
"Once junior disciple Nangong leaves, the Chi clan will likely come to trouble us again." For a moment, worry appeared on everyone's faces. If only they had a Nascent Soul expert to guard them, then the people of the Divine Race wouldn't dare to bully them so casually. Su Dan Novel Network
"When will we have a Nascent Soul expert to guard us?"
"Even if we had a Nascent Soul expert, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stay," someone interjected. "After all, entering Futu City is the dream of everyone."
A heavy weight pressed down on everyone's hearts. Although they banded together for warmth, it couldn't change the fact that they were oppressed by the Divine Race.
"Alright, A Si barely managed to keep his life. Stop being so dejected." Jiang Lan said. "Go and rest, everyone. Don't worry too much. The cart will find its way when it reaches the mountain."
"Jiang Ge, can we ask junior disciple Nangong to stay?" Li Jiu asked abruptly. "If she stays, no one in this inner city will dare to cause us trouble."
Jiang Lan didn't answer, as he was also unsure. Even if Xiao Man wanted to stay, if the Divine Lord didn't allow it, she could do nothing. This matter was beyond their control, neither of them could decide.
"We'll discuss it tomorrow. Go and rest, everyone." After Jiang Lan left, he looked towards Xiao Man's residence. Once Xiao Man left, Chi Yuan would definitely come to cause trouble. Before that, he had to become stronger as quickly as possible and couldn't always rely on others!
Chi Yuan walked out of Zhongzhou Street and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. That newcomer gave him immense pressure. Her cultivation was extremely high. If they had dared to make a move, they might not have been able to leave Zhongzhou Street today.
"Boss Chi, what's wrong with you today?" the man who was ordered to apologize asked, puzzled.
"Idiot, that newcomer alone could wipe us all out." Chi Yuan looked back at Zhongzhou Street. "Go and investigate the background of that newcomer. With such high cultivation, she won't be staying in the inner city for long and will soon enter Futu City. Once that newcomer enters Futu City, we'll settle the score with them slowly."
"Boss Chi, we severely injured that human brat. Will Jiang Lan take the Wuji Zijing to the Holy Temple for life-saving medicine?" the man hesitated. "If Jiang Lan exchanges the Wuji Zijing for medicine, won't we have worked for nothing?"
"Send people to guard Zhongzhou Street. Anyone from Zhongzhou Street who comes out, stop them. The Wuji Zijing can only be ours," Chi Yuan said coldly. "Move far away to fight, don't alert that newcomer."
"What if that newcomer comes out to exchange for medicine?"
"What can we do? Nothing! Can you beat him?" Chi Yuan said irritably. "If that newcomer comes out to exchange for medicine, we can only accept our fate, but we'll find a way to get it back later!"
"Yes, Boss Chi."
The Chi clan people waited outside for three days and saw no one from Zhongzhou Street emerge. They couldn't help but feel suspicious. It was said that Jiang Lan valued brotherhood the most. His brother was beaten to death, yet he didn't come out for revenge or to exchange for medicine. Could it be that for a Wuji Zijing, he was willing to watch his brother die?
"All for show. I knew it, Jiang Lan is just a hypocrite." The man on stakeout was so angry he cursed loudly, even spitting. He cursed his bad luck.
Moments later, a subordinate nudged him. "Brother, is that person the mortal we beat within an inch of his life that day?"
The man followed his subordinate's gaze and indeed saw the person who had been severely injured and almost died last time, now jumping around alive and well. Not only was he out, but he looked as if nothing had happened. It had only been three days, and with such severe injuries, it was impossible to recover so quickly without miraculous medicine!
The man rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong. But it was still that person, lively and laughing.
