C3641 Troublesome Trouble
It was likely that they had a tacit understanding to let bygones be bygones, not mentioning each other, but taking a step back to apologize for letting go of the Great Watchtower Sect... Impossible. The Great Watchtower Sect was also one of the six major sects of Tian Lan, and its strength wasn't any weaker than the Purple Frost Sect.
Each of them had lost a great deal of face, and there were even hundreds of thousands of mortals who had died in the Giant Watchtower, as well as a Golden Core Realm expert, Shentu Yang... Why should the Titanic Crescent Sect lower their heads and apologize?
If word of this got out, would the Giant Fault Sect lose any face?
If that was the case... In the eyes of the outside world, the Titanic Crescent Sect had admitted that they were inferior to the Titanic Imperial Gate, so they had retreated in the end.
Something that should not have happened had happened. There must be something fishy going on.
Of course, it wasn't that they were stupid. It was just that the news had only been spread for a short period of time, and because of the truth that had suddenly arrived, the Titanic Crescent School had been so busy that they didn't have time to think about it.
They waited for the two of them to digest it.
Jiang Ting slowly said, "Fellow Daoists, your expressions don't seem to be fake. In fact, it doesn't make sense. Fellow Daoists, why don't you tell us about it? Was it because the Titanic Crescent Sect couldn't swallow this anger and decided to secretly count on me, or... Is there another reason?"
Indeed, something that shouldn't have happened had happened. Either the Titanic Crescent School couldn't take it anymore and wanted to plot against him, or it had something to do with something else.
The so-called apology and apology could be heard, but it couldn't be treated as real.
Xia Yang and Du Xuan looked at each other, and at the same time, they revealed some hesitation, as if it was inconvenient for them to speak.
However, they still had to say it.
After hesitating for a while, Xia Yang said softly, "Fellow Daoist, you've been missing for fifteen years. I believe you still don't know about the outside world."
"Is it related to me?" Jiang Ting narrowed his eyes.
Xia Yang's mind was in chaos, but he still nodded. "Because of the misunderstanding earlier, the old ancestor was furious and went to the Black Feather Pavilion..."
En, the information he wanted to talk about wasn't a secret. The mad doctor went to the Black Feather Pavilion and helped Jiang Ting put up a bounty.
Of course, it was not that the mad doctor thought that the Giant Imperial Sect was powerless to deal with Jiang Ting. He went to the Black Feather Pavilion to increase the bounty, and he had two goals at that time.
First, the Giant Tower Sect could not find Jiang Ting. They wanted to increase the bounty and send out more rogue cultivators to kill Jiang Ting. Maybe they could force Jiang Ting to come out.
Secondly, it was much simpler. They just wanted to express their attitude to the outside world.
Now that the truth had been revealed, the matter of the mad doctor going to Black Feather Pavilion to increase the reward had become complicated. The most troublesome thing was that when it came to Black Feather Pavilion, the mad doctor would not go to Black Feather Pavilion to cancel the bounty.
Jiang Ting was not angry. Instead, he revealed a curious expression. "How many Spirit Stone did that old ancestor increase?"
He had been on the Black Feather Pavilion's assassination list a long time ago. It was also because of this that the blood mantis had attempted to assassinate him.
Du Xuan said casually, "Five million isn't a big number."
Jiang Ting's expression froze. "Fellow Daoist, are you joking with me?"
Five million Spirit Stone?
To a Golden Core warrior, five million was not a small amount.
Previously, the Black Feather Pavilion already had a bounty on them, and now, with the addition of the reward from the Mad Doctor...
"According to the rumors in the marketplace, Fellow Daoist took over a hundred million worth of resources from the Demon Sealing Secret Realm. A mere five million is naturally nothing."
Du Xuan added, "Those who dare to attack Fellow Daoist, even if it wasn't for the old ancestor's five million, still attacked. Those who didn't dare to attack Fellow Daoist, even if the old ancestor increased the bounty on Black Feather Pavilion. They don't have the guts to do so either... It's not a big deal to Fellow Daoist. However, this matter involved the Fellow Daoist, and it had something to do with the misunderstanding from before. That's why we came here personally. Otherwise... Otherwise, we wouldn't have placed so much importance on this matter. "
Jiang Ting narrowed his eyes. "Fellow Daoists, please don't try to change the concept."
Indeed, Du Xuan's words sounded right.
But in fact, there was a huge loophole... Because of Jiang Ting's identity, the cultivation base of those who dared to kill Jiang Ting and seize his treasures would be limited to a certain range.
However, assassinations were different.
Just like the blood mantis from before. Back then, Jiang Ting was at the early stage of the Earth Realm, but the blood mantis was at the peak of the Earth Realm! The difference in cultivation base between them was not small. However, according to the tacit understanding between the six sects, the difference in cultivation base was allowed. After all, they were all at the Earth Realm.
It was fine if the news wasn't leaked, but once it was leaked, the cultivation base wouldn't be the same. With Jiang Ting's identity, the Purple Frost Sect would have sufficient strength to take revenge.
Therefore, with Jiang Ting's rich family background and the Purple Frost Sect's channels to distract people's line of sight, there wasn't a single person who really attacked because they were greedy for his family background.
But now, the assassination was different.
His life was worth so many Spirit Stone. Who knew how many assassins would attack him?
If many assassins came together... those people would not attack him. If they ignored the rules and attacked him in a group battle, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them.
Maybe some people would say that if they were really greedy, they could join the assassin force to obtain the identity of an assassin and carry out an assassination... But in reality, assassins were not robbers.
With Jiang Ting's identity, he had died in the hands of an assassin. Purple Frost Sect had no reason to take revenge on him openly. However, if his wealth was taken away, it would be to kill someone and seize his treasure.
An assassin would only take someone's life, not rob someone's house.
No one would pay attention to a nobody. Even if an assassin took away a dead person's belongings, no one would pay attention to it. However, Jiang Ting was not someone the five of them cared about.
This was Tian Lan, the chaotic and dark Tian Lan, who had rules and regulations.
Looking at Xia Yang and Jiang Ting, and seeing Jiang Ting's reaction, they felt somewhat helpless. Jiang Ting's thoughts changed too quickly.
In their opinion, if Jiang Ting did not react immediately, they could tell what had happened and leave immediately. As long as they left, even if Jiang Ting reacted afterwards, he would not be able to find trouble with them.
But now, just as they talked about it, Jiang Ting saw the problem and keenly found the loophole in their words... It was not easy to deal with.
Not long later, Du Xuan squeezed out a smile and said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist, we can't blame Old Ancestor for this matter. After all, it was just a misunderstanding. There are some conflicts between the two of us, the old ancestor. It does make sense... "
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist Du Xuan, why did you set a trap at this time? I'm just a Golden Core cultivator, how could I dare to blame Senior Mad Medic? "
Du Xuan's words sounded fine, but in fact, it was a big problem... A mere Golden Core cultivator actually dared to blame a Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator? He was afraid that he was tired of living.
The prerequisite of all the rules in Tian Lan was that no one was allowed to offend a high cultivation level at a low cultivation level.
Tian Lan, in the chaotic but orderly nature of the rules, strength was king, and the strong were respected!
Du Xuan's expression turned solemn... Very quickly, her expression returned to normal as she shook her head slightly at Xia Yang.
She had no other choice. Jiang Ting's thought process was too fast, and he could instantly sense the trap in the words... Now, she could only rely on Xia Yang, the palace master of the Sword Cry Palace.
