Chapter 476 Nancheng
Because he was seriously injured while fighting against the might of Heaven, the patriarch of the Ye family had to immediately go into seclusion. Therefore, to express his gratitude to Jiang Liqian, before going into seclusion, he specifically instructed Ye An'an to take her to the Ye family's forbidden area to choose her favorite magic treasures, elixirs, or cultivation techniques and scriptures.
In addition, Jiang Liqian was given a large sum of spirit stones, and even Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao received some.
Jiang Liqian didn't pretend to refuse. She didn't take many magic treasures, after all, they were the foundation of a family. However, she did take a lot of elixirs and talismans, many of which were rare treasures even in the Tianqian Sect.
Without any external reasons, Jiang Liqian and the others stayed in Yecheng for several days, waiting for the Tianling Conference to end before preparing to leave.
Ye An'an was also preparing to return to the Tianqian Sect, but she had to stay for a while to tidy up the mess left after the Tianling Gathering and wait for her parents to return from outside.
After seeing Jiang Liqian and the others off at the city gate, Jiang Liqian couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Ye An'an before leaving.
Who is Ye Linglong?
"Ye Linglong?" Ye An'an looked blank. "Is she also a member of the Ye family? From a collateral branch?"
Jiang Li paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know. It's just that when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed into the Water Exchange Array that day, I saw three words appear in the spiritual light... It should be a person's name..."
She paused, suddenly remembering a portrait of a woman that had appeared in her mind when she was in the Shennong Domain.
With silver bells adorning her feet and silver rings on her wrists, she moved with a graceful and ethereal beauty, holding a jade flute capable of controlling all beasts in one hand. Upon closer inspection, her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Ye An'an, bearing four or five points of similarity.
If someone is so remarkable even from a portrait, then even if they are a collateral member of the Ye family, they should be well-known within the main family, right? So why does Ye An'an seem to have never heard of this person before?
What made Jiang Liqian feel even colder and more chilled was that she had encountered several people with such strange and unknown names.
Wan Lianzhi, Song Shimi, Ye Linglong!
What's next? Will she encounter it again?
what happened……
Seeing Jiang Liqian's hesitant expression, Ye An'an was clearly thinking about Ben Xinjing's matter. She thought about it very seriously, and realized that she had never heard of this person before.
but……
“When I was very young, before I went to the Tianqian Sect to become an apprentice, I think I heard my grandfather say that the Ye family once had a disciple with extraordinary talent who also became an apprentice of our sect’s Beast Taming Peak. My grandfather told me that I must be diligent and hardworking, and not just cause trouble all day long…”
The impression is very vague, and I don't know if it's the woman from my original state of mind.
Jiang Liqian could only listen to the unfounded and baseless rumors and let them go. Besides, she had no right to investigate the Ye family. She could only suppress her doubts for the time being and bid farewell to Ye An'an.
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao also said goodbye to her one by one.
Since they were from the same sect and would be able to meet again soon, the group did not linger and prepared to sit in the formation after leaving the city gate.
However, at this point, Jiang Liqian and her group had to part ways. They had come to participate in the Heavenly Spirit Gathering, and after it ended, they would each go their own way.
Su Yanqing was the first to say goodbye to them, and finally said "Until we meet again" before standing in the center of the magic array.
After a dazzling flash of light, his figure disappeared.
Jiang Liqian turned to look at Shi Tou: "Are you going back to Tianji Pavilion next?"
Stone's gaze swept across her face before landing on Shui Lian'er, who looked reluctant to leave. He smiled and said, "I do want to leave, but some people are going to cry. I might as well see her off kindly. Anyway, I have nothing else to do."
Upon hearing this, Qin Beiyao narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced at him.
Stone smiled broadly, completely open and honest.
Qin Beiyao's eyes darkened, and he gripped Shui Lian'er's hand tightly.
When Shui Lian'er heard that Shi Tou wouldn't be separated from them immediately, most of the reluctance in her heart dissipated, and she happily circled around Shi Tou several times.
Jiang Liqian didn't think much of it. Anyway, the group had gotten to know each other well along the way, so they immediately prepared to set off together for the South City, from where they could take the shortest and fastest teleportation array to the Tianqian Sect.
After leaving Ye City, those heading to the Tianqian Sect or cities further east will generally choose this route.
In Zhongzhou, there lies a vast forest stretching across the entire continent—the Desolate Marsh Forest. This forest begins in the easternmost desert of Zhongzhou and extends to the westernmost sea. It is teeming with countless demonic beasts and abundant with opportunities and treasures, making it a training ground for disciples of the immortal sects of Zhongzhou. Nancheng is situated right on the edge of the Desolate Marsh Forest, one of the closest cities to it, and also one of the smallest cities on the Zhongzhou continent. Its city gate faces directly towards the entrance to the Desolate Marsh Forest.
The city was not built because of the gathering of human cultivators, but rather because it was a small city that gradually formed over time due to the guarding of the entrance to the desolate forest.
In the southern part of the city, apart from a huge teleportation array firmly guarded in the center, there was nothing else. Even the city lord's mansion had to make way for it, squeezed among the houses of all sizes. If it weren't for the three words "city lord's mansion" written on the plaque, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was the city lord's mansion, and would just think it was an ordinary house.
The local people are simple and honest. Although there are few people, they are all very warm and hospitable. As soon as Jiang Liqian and her companions entered the city, many people gave them some refreshing fruits. Kind vendors also gave Shui Lian'er and Jiang Liqian each a very pretty hair ribbon.
Shui Lian'er absolutely loved this place. If it weren't for Master Hongyun's admonition, she would have stayed here for ten days or half a month before leaving.
Although they weren't in a hurry, the group went straight to the teleportation array in the city center.
Unlike the teleportation arrays in other cities, the teleportation array in the South City not only had a squad of soldiers surrounding it, but also had a very powerful defensive formation set up around the outside to protect the area.
This shows how much Nancheng values this teleportation array.
However, this makes sense, as this place was originally one of the hubs for communication between the eastern and western cities, and it was of great significance.
However, Jiang Liqian and her companions were really unlucky. Before they could even board the teleportation array, they were told that the special key to activate it was lost and they were searching for it one by one.
"When will the Spirit Key be found?" Jiang Liqian asked the guards guarding the formation.
The guard patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, it will only take one night at most. You can leave via the teleportation array tomorrow, and it won't delay your journey much."
"The Spirit Key isn't anything particularly precious, and it's usually inserted directly into the array, so why would it be lost?" Shui Lian'er didn't understand.
Losing a magical elixir or treasure would be understandable, but a spirit key is useless except for opening a teleportation array. Moreover, the process of making a spirit key is very simple, and a new one can be made in a day or two. How could such a thing be lost?
