Chapter 290: Unrighteousness
Bai Lan did not go to Banyuepo to keep the appointment on the date agreed in the letter, but went straight down the mountain and found the Cheng family's residence in the city.
Beside her was Ning Yan, the eldest disciple of the Qingxia Sect's leader.
Three days later, Ning Yan's injuries had mostly healed, so Bai Lan found an excuse to take her out of the sect. It was not until he took Ning Yan to Hongyan City outside Qingxia Sect that Bai Lan told Ning Yan the purpose of this trip.
Ning Yan originally thought that Bai Lan was taking her to the market town, which could be considered a small relaxation after the crisis.
But I didn't expect that she was trying to threaten me... As expected, nothing this woman wanted to do was easy.
Ning Yan was about to step back, but Bai Lan grabbed her wrist tightly. She choked and couldn't help but whispered, "Isn't it too unrighteous to come to someone's house and ask for their ancestral skills?"
Bai Lan raised his eyebrows: "I am helping them. You should know that Cheng Tianfeng has already made a vow to his inner demon. If his Cheng family does not give me the ancestral skills, Cheng Tianfeng will not be able to break through the foundation-building stage in this life!"
The reason seemed reasonable, but Ning Yan already had some guesses about how Cheng Tianfeng made the oath to satisfy his inner demon.
"......But between us, one is the righteous leader of Qingyuan Sect, and the other is the eldest senior sister of Qingxia Sect. Doing such a thing would ruin our reputation." Ning Yan said hesitantly.
Ning Yan, who was once forced to become an evil cultivator, now cares about building a reputation.
"In that case, I will go to obtain the skills in a different identity..."
Ning Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, in fact, we can disguise our identities, which will not expose our identities and is also safer..."
Bai Lan smiled slightly. She had no intention of taking Ning Yan to do such a thing. This would really ruin Master Qingxia's impression.
After all, she had worked so hard to improve Master Qingxia's favor.
He silently pulled Ning Yan to the corner outside the Cheng family's courtyard wall, then raised his hand and made a gesture, setting up a soundproof barrier on the spot.
Under Ning Yan's puzzled gaze, Bai Lan took out two iris masks and two sets of black robes and handed one of them to Ning Yan.
Ning Yan was shocked: "Wait, is this the logo of Tianji Pavilion!?"
Everyone in the world of cultivation knows about the unique iris pattern of Tianji Pavilion.
Ning Yan never thought that Bai Lan would be connected with the killer from Tianji Pavilion. How could these two contradictory identities of Tianji Pavilion killer and Qingyuan Sect disciple appear on one person?
“Make a vow to your inner demon that you will not reveal my identity as the Young Master, otherwise I will not allow you to practice martial arts in the future.” Bai Lan pointed his gun at Ning Yan.
Before Ning Yan could react, the tip of the Soul-Breaking Spear in Bai Lan's hand was already within reach, pointing directly at her neck.
Ning Yan was startled at first, and then she realized that there was not a trace of spiritual power on the gun.
This gun would definitely kill a mortal, but it posed no threat to a cultivator. Bai Lan seemed to be teasing her.
After a long silence, she used her fingertips to push away the Soul-Breaking Spear that Bai Lan had placed on her neck.
"Given the relationship between you and me, how could I do anything that would harm you?"
Ning Yan shook her head helplessly, and finally made a vow under Bai Lan's gaze.
Bai Lan smiled: "Of course I believe Yan'er...but now, I have to ask you to be the personal maid of the half-Japanese Young Master, to support me, a young master without any support."
Ning Yan was silent.
She believed that it would not be difficult for Bai Lan to join the Tianji Pavilion with his means, but wasn't the identity of the Young Master of the Tianji Pavilion a bit exaggerated?
But after all, she had a Nascent Soul backer behind her, so she was silent for a moment when she heard that. Ning Yan still had some confidence in provoking a member of the Cheng family whose highest cultivation level was only a Jindan cultivator.
Faced with the two options of ruining the reputation of Qingxia Sect's eldest sister and temporarily serving as Bai Lan's personal maid, she decisively chose the latter.
"Okay, I'll be a maid." Ning Yan nodded, put on a mask, put on a black robe, and then stood behind Bai Lan.
After putting on two magical weapons that blocked spiritual consciousness, Ning Yan had concealed her face and figure, making it completely difficult to identify her identity.
Bai Lan nodded slightly, and then looked to the other side: "Cannon Fodder Master, come out."
A system in a black robe slowly appeared, speaking in an old tone, like an elderly man: "Young Pavilion Master, what can I do for you?"
“This senior is…” Ning Yan was startled, but her tone was very cautious, because she had no way of detecting the cultivation level of the person in front of her. Could it be that he was another master in the Jindan stage?
"He is from Tianji Pavilion, my bodyguard."
The system raised its head forty-five degrees and said in a deep voice: "I am the Cannon Fodder True Lord."
Ning Yan's pupils shrank.
True Lord? Could he be a powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage?
The system still stood there with its hands behind its back, not saying a word.
One is a guard with unfathomable cultivation, and the other is a personal maid with a soft voice. Having both of them is in line with the appearance of the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion.
A certain True Lord gave the title readily, but the younger generations of other people's families either had high-level cultivators to protect them or had all-strength attack talismans to preserve themselves. Even a young master of the magic path like Lan Ning had an old woman in the Jindan stage to accompany him for protection.
As for her, she had nothing except the Purple Sky True Fire.
Now that she wants to use the identity of Tianji Pavilion, she has to create the event herself.
After everything was ready, Bai Lan turned to probe her spiritual sense into the Cheng family's courtyard wall. The expected formation obstacle did not appear, and her spiritual sense actually went straight through the wall.
"You are more familiar with Hongyan City. What's the situation of the Cheng family? There is not even a defensive magic circle outside?" Bai Lan turned his head in surprise.
She originally wanted to show off her skills, take out Qinghe Zhenren's full-strength attack talisman, break the high-level defensive formation outside the Cheng family in one fell swoop, and blow out the Cheng family's Jindan stage cultivator.
Only in this way can the young pavilion master show his status.
However, she did not expect that her spiritual consciousness could actually penetrate directly into the formation without any obstruction.
Ning Yan smiled: "The Cheng family naturally has a defensive formation, but if there is no invasion by foreign enemies, this formation will not be activated on weekdays. After all, there is a sixth-level large-scale defensive formation outside Hongyan City to resist the invasion of demons, and the formation inside the city does not need to be activated."
Except for wealthy big forces like Wanbao Tower, third-rate forces like the Cheng and Li families would not activate defensive magic arrays all the time.
Because it consumes too many spirit stones.
A sixth-level magic array would require hundreds of spirit stones a day to maintain its operation, and formations above the seventh level would require even more spirit stones. After all, the spirit stones saved in a day would be enough for the cultivation of Qi Refining disciples in more than a dozen families.
Unless, like the five major sects, they set up the formation on a large spiritual vein, the formation can operate smoothly without investing any spiritual stones.
After listening to Ning Yan's explanation, Bai Lan finally understood and nodded.
"No wonder the third-rate small forces in the cultivation world are easily wiped out. They have no awareness of defense against annihilation at all."
No wonder the Cheng family would offend Long Aotian, this family is too easy to destroy.
"Although the Cheng family is weak, if you want to get away with it after obtaining the skills, you still need to make more plans..."
Before Ning Yan finished her words, she saw Bai Lan pinching a talisman with one hand and leaping into the Cheng family's courtyard wall.
Cannon Fodder followed closely behind, floating into the courtyard wall in a strange flying posture.
