Yang Jian was truly …
How could he not wet his shoes if he always walked by the river? He had been killing demons all this time, but he had never thought that one day, he would be regarded as a demon.
To be honest, did the demon race still have such a handsome and unrestrained person?
Shaking his head and chuckling, Yang Jian continued to taste the cup in his hand. He didn't even look at the burly general. He had already made up his mind.
Apricot City must have some inexplicable connection with Mount Mei. The blood-stained plum blossom on the flag of Apricot City might have some other hidden meaning.
After finishing his tea, Yang Jian slowly placed the teacup in front of him. The table had been smashed by the general's saber, but Yang Jian turned a blind eye to it. He slowly let go of the teacup, allowing it to float steadily in the air as if there was still a table underneath it.
Any cultivator could do this, but to be like Yang Jian, without the slightest ripple of magic power or the slightest trace of divine ability, and to do it so naturally and casually, it was truly not simple.
It was as if the table hadn't been broken, giving people a dreamy feeling.
Yang Jian was showing his identity as a cultivator. Although the burly general looked a bit rough, he wasn't an ignorant person.
Seeing this scene and comprehending its charm, the general's expression immediately changed. He looked at Yang Jian with a serious expression, his eyes shining with a cold light.
"Fellow Daoist, are you going to do evil in the city?"
As soon as the general spoke, even the way he addressed Chu Li changed. His eyes were filled with bewilderment as he secretly transmitted his voice to the experts in the city.
Yang Jian waved his hand and summoned a table out of thin air. The pile of broken wood had been moved to the side.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, General. I'm a friend, not an enemy. We're both humans, and I'm just passing by this place out of curiosity. Why don't we have a drink together? "
"I'm blind. What's your Daoist name?"
"I've been traveling for many years, but I don't have a Daoist name. My master hasn't given me one, and he's always called me by my name."
The general didn't dare to slack off. He sensed a mysterious aura in the sky surrounding the tall building, which gave him some confidence. He said, "Fellow Daoist, what's your name, and where is the immortal mountain? He said that he's passing through Mei City, but I don't know if he's going from the north to the south or from the east to the west? "
Yang Jian smiled and withdrew the Xuanqi from his body, allowing the general to sense his aura.
"My surname is Yang and my name is Jian. I'm currently living in Master's Dao venue, the Golden Aurora Cave in Jade Spring Mountain. I passed by this place from the north and saw that the demonic aura on the Plum Mountain was so strong that I was curious as to why there was a human city here, so I came to take a look. "
"Yang!"
The burly general took two steps back and stared at Yang Jian with wide eyes. Even his voice was trembling.
"Er- Er- Immortal Erlang?"
Yang Jian sighed in his heart at the influence of the Celestial Court. Everyone in the world knew of his title of Erlang Xiansheng, but they did not mention the Qingyuan Wonderful Way bestowed by the Sage.
"My apologies, my apologies!" The burly general's eyes were a little excited. At this moment, he looked at Yang Jian again. His nose and eyes were the same as the appearance of the three generations of Jade Palace's leaders that had been passed down in the Primordial World.
Why did I make a mistake just now!?!
"I did not know that you were coming, Perfected Lord. The cultivator of Plum City, Yao Gonglin, did not recognize Mount Tai. I have offended you!" The burly man bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Perfected Lord. I'll go to the City Lord's Residence to report!"
Yang Jian stood up and returned the Dao salute. Since he had the intention to befriend this place and use the troops of this city to conquer the demons of Plum Mountain, Yang Jian naturally did not dare to be arrogant.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Yang Jian smiled and said, "In this Plum City, mortals have extraordinary knowledge. I admire all the Fellow Daoists here …"
The waiter stood at the side, sweating profusely. He really wanted to find an opportunity to run over and kneel down to beg for mercy.
He had gone upstairs to report to the adults with the intention of receiving more rewards. However, he did not expect to meet a real immortal, the one that he had often heard about.
Even the adults in the General's Residence were so respectful. How could he offend such an important figure?
Fortunately, Yang Jian had been conversing with the general named Yao Gonglin. They spoke one after another, and they were so polite that they were a little polite.
And so on, and so on, and so on. After some small talk, a group of people rushed in from outside, and they were all generals in battle armor.
The leader was a middle-aged man. He looked gentle and scholarly. He had gentle eyebrows and a kind smile. Yang Jian thought that he was the City Lord of Plum City. However, that person bowed and claimed to be the Deputy City Lord of Plum City, Mei Linhan.
A total of twelve generals bowed. Yang Jian answered them one by one. Among them, he did not remember a few names.
In fact, Yang Jian only knew about the "Six Friends of Plum Mountain". He did not know who they were.
However, there was an 80% chance that they were in Plum City.
"If you don't want to move to the City Lord's Residence, why don't you go to the top floor and take a seat?" Mei Linhan said apologetically. "My City Lord has comprehended something recently and is already in seclusion to cultivate. It is indeed not appropriate for him to meet any guests now. Please don't blame him, Perfected Lord. "
"City Lord Mei, you're being too polite." Yang Jian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where I sit. I originally wanted to get to know all the heroes. The venue is secondary."
The many generals behind Mei Linhan were all happy and looked at Yang Jian eagerly.
Although they were all quite capable, they were all stuck in the corner of the Primordial World. They were not famous, let alone famous.
There were many battles there. These generals were all figures who had experienced thousands of battles. They were familiar with the battle techniques of the demon race. In Yang Jian's opinion, they were rare talents.
Yang Jian was the Marshal of the Celestial Court who was famous for killing demons. These people were brave cultivators who had fought against demons thousands of times.
It took two hands to clap. Both parties were interested in befriending each other, so they naturally chatted happily.
The doors and windows of the ninth floor were open. The interior was decorated beautifully and exquisitely. There were also many treasures and pearls as embellishments. It was very similar to the Dragon Palace, but it was still not as luxurious as the latter.
Yang Jian declined repeatedly before sitting in the guest seat. The main seat was empty. The generals were arranged according to their seniority. All of them were a little reserved, afraid that they would anger Yang Jian.
"Perfected Lord." Mei Linhan raised his wine glass. "I've often heard about the Perfected Lord getting rid of demons and protecting the Dao. I've always admired you. Unfortunately, the Perfected Lord is the bright moon in the sky. We can only look up to you and do not have the fate to get to know you. Today, I've seen the Perfected Lord's true appearance. It's really … "
"City Lord Mei, let's not be polite." Yang Jian smiled and waved his hand. "Let me tell you why I'm here first."
A short general with a full beard laughed and said, "Perfected Lord, you must be here to help us get rid of the demons! Damn it, we must get rid of all the demons and ghosts in Mei Mountain this time! "
Yang Jian sized up this general. He felt that although this guy's words were rude, he was actually a meticulous person. The moment he opened his mouth, he sealed off Yang Jian's path of retreat.
"Bo Shi!" Mei Linhan frowned and scolded, "Don't be rude in front of the Perfected Lord! What kind of hero is the Perfected Lord?! He's the bright moon in the sky, and we're just potholes on the ground! "
Yang Jian thought, 'Does this City Lord Mei like to use the' bright moon in the sky 'to humiliate people?'
Yao Gonglin smiled and said, "Perfected Lord, don't blame me. My brother is just a little muddle-headed. He doesn't really know how to talk."
"General Bo Shi is just a person," Yang Jian said calmly. He said directly, "My purpose of coming here is related to my previous conferment. That day, the Celestial Court rewarded me and ordered me to choose a place to station troops. I received the Marshal's Tiger Tally, so I can't ignore this. Therefore, I chose a place with good scenery. "
Yang Jian paused. The atmosphere at the banquet was a little heavy.
Two drops of cold sweat appeared on Mei Linhan's forehead. He said in a low voice, "Could it be that the Perfected Lord chose … chose our small border town …"
"City Lord, you misunderstood." Yang Jian smiled and waved his hand. Everyone at the banquet sighed in relief.
However, before they could finish their breath, they became nervous. This was because Yang Jian said, "I chose Mei Mountain, a place with a radius of a thousand miles."
With two clangs, the chopsticks in Mei Linhan's hand fell to the ground. He looked at Yang Jian with a stunned expression.
On the other hand, the ten or so generals at the banquet all had joyful expressions on their faces. The short and boorish man named Bo Shi was so overjoyed that he jumped up and was about to rush over and give Yang Jian a bear hug.
"Perfected Lord! Is what you said true? "
"Perfected Lord, you're coming to Mei Mountain! Hahaha! "
Those two sentences were shouted almost at the same time. The first sentence was asked by Mei Linhan, while the second sentence was shouted by Yao Gonglin. The latter directly covered the former.
Yang Jian smiled and nodded. He took in the expressions of everyone at the banquet. Other than Mei Linhan, the Deputy City Lord, there was nothing unusual about the others.
Although Mei Linhan's emotions had returned to normal in the blink of an eye, Yang Jian could clearly sense that he had a trace of … fear?
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Since I've received the reward from the Celestial Court, I naturally have to do something. Moreover, when I was choosing the camp, I heard that there are many demons in Mei Mountain. I came here with the intention of sharpening my saber and practicing martial arts. "
"Alright!" Zhang Boshi shouted and raised his cup to Yang Jian. "I thank you on behalf of my family!"
Yao Gonglin and the other generals also stood up excitedly and toasted Yang Jian. They bowed in unison.
Yao Gonglin said, "I hope that the Perfected Lord will destroy the demons of Mei Mountain as soon as possible and avenge our wives and children! We will definitely report to the City Lord. The day the Perfected Lord moves will be the day the Mei City mobilizes its troops! "
That was what Yang Jian wanted. He immediately stood up and drank a cup of wine with the generals of Mei City. His heart was filled with joy.
Zhang Boshi looked at Mei Linhan and asked in confusion, "Deputy City Lord, why aren't you drinking?"
Mei Linhan forced an ugly smile and stood up. He toasted Yang Jian and laughed dryly. "I still have to report this matter to the City Lord. Why don't you stay here for a few days? Once the City Lord comes out of seclusion, I'll report this matter."
All the generals at the banquet looked puzzled. Yang Jian took in all the details and smiled. "That's right."
"Come, let's continue drinking." Mei Linhan greeted warmly and shouted a few words outside the door. A group of beautiful young girls dressed in feathered clothes danced, and the pleasant sound of bamboo and string instruments rang out.
Yang Jian smiled and exchanged toasts with the generals. He got to know each other. There were a few people who were to his liking and they chatted.
However, Yang Jian had been observing Mei Linhan.
