“That sounds like my fault then.” Bai Jing gave Jiang Wen a charming glare, her white lotus-like arms about to wrap around his shoulders.
But at this moment, a branch grew out and lashed fiercely at Bai Jing's arm.
“Ouch! That hurts so much!” Bai Jing covered her arm, glaring at the branch with annoyance. She then looked at Jiang Wen, her voice filled with complaint. “Look at your little wife, she can't stand even a little jealousy. I didn't even do anything, yet she treats me like this.”
The branch swayed, and then Ziyun's indifferent voice came: “Serves you right.”
She didn't say much more to Bai Jing, angering Bai Jing to the point of screaming.
“Just an old tree, come out and battle me for three hundred rounds!”
Jiang Wen couldn't help but rub his forehead as he watched Bai Jing and Ziyun bickering. He didn't expect these two demons to be so incompatible, and he secretly regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn't have brought Bai Jing, any fox would have been fine.
Seeing the situation developing in the wrong direction, Jiang Wen could only step in to stop them: “Stop bickering, we are still in the Imperial City. There are many people here, and who knows which saint is watching.”
Hearing this, Ziyun retracted her branch. Bai Jing also restrained her temper, and then looked at Jiang Wen with a smile: “My lord, now that we have arrived in the Imperial City, what are your plans?”
“The situation in the Imperial City is a bit complicated, you probably know that.” Jiang Wen sighed.
“Is my lord talking about the people from the God-Worshipping Society?” Bai Jing jumped off the table and walked to Jiang Wen's side, asking. “If it's the God-Worshipping Society, it's not so bad, I have a way to deal with them.”
Bai Jing naturally knew about the God-Worshipping Society, after all, Chi Yao was one of the high-ranking members of the God-Worshipping Society. She had suffered a lot at Chi Yao's hands, and she didn't have a good impression of the God-Worshipping Society. Now that the God-Worshipping Society has appeared in the Imperial City again, she is naturally willing to take revenge.
“L-Lord… Who is this person? This little one doesn't recognize him…” Chang Nian stammered in response, and the other party's voice became more and more fierce.
“Someone saw him yesterday, how dare you say you don't have him here!”
Just as the fierce man was about to hit Chang Nian, he heard the sound of the door opening.
Jiang Wen stood at the door, calmly looking at the person who came to inquire: “I am the traveler who moved in yesterday, are you here to find me?”
When the man saw Jiang Wen, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Several people holding weapons behind him surged in, staring at him.
“It's you, that's right.”
“May I ask who you are? And what do you want from me?” Jiang Wen asked.
“This granddaddy is a protector of the Tiger Hall of the God-Worshipping Society, and I have come here today specifically to take you in for questioning!” The man shook his scabbard and grinned at Jiang Wen. “I hope you don't refuse to appreciate our kindness, lest you hurt our harmony.”
“I wonder why the God-Worshipping Society wants to take me?” Jiang Wen asked again.
“Did you see the affairs of the God-Worshipping Society at Qingwu Wharf yesterday?”
“Yes.” Jiang Wen nodded.
“Those brothers of mine went crazy or died. Only two survived. The Immortal Master in the society said that my brothers were hit by evil magic, and there must be a demon performing the spell. Since you were watching yesterday, you are also a suspect.” The man said, then stood in front of Jiang Wen and looked at him. “Come with us first, whether you are guilty or not will be decided after interrogation.”
“Without evidence, how can you take me for questioning?” Jiang Wen replied calmly. “Besides, I'm not the only one who saw it, are you going to arrest all the onlookers?”
“Naturally, we won't do that. But the society has its own treasure, which can see through falsehoods. You watched for a long time yesterday and left at just the right time, so naturally we have to take you in for questioning.”
“……” Jiang Wen stared at the man, he didn't expect the God-Worshipping Society to have such a magic weapon. It seems that he was too careless in handling things at that time, leaving some traces.
Thinking about these things, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Next time I handle things, I have to mess up the cause and effect first.
Then, before the man could speak, he said: “Then I will go with you.”
“Sir?!” Chang Nian hurriedly called out to Jiang Wen.
“Don't worry, I'll be back soon.” Jiang Wen smiled calmly.
Without paying attention to what Chang Nian was saying, he followed behind the people of the God-Worshipping Society and left.
Jiang Wen was not nervous at all about going to the banquet alone. He was within reach of becoming a saint.
In the vast Imperial City, even a saint couldn't stop him, let alone the people of the God-Worshipping Society.
Now that he has the opportunity to see the altar of the God-Worshipping Society, it is also a good thing.
The people of the God-Worshipping Society pushed Jiang Wen into a carriage and pulled down the black curtain to block his view. With a rumbling sound, the carriage sped along the avenue of the Imperial City.
After an unknown amount of time, when the sound of people became sparse, the carriage stopped.
The people of the God-Worshipping Society called Jiang Wen to get out of the car, and then he saw the headquarters of the God-Worshipping Society in the Imperial City.
This headquarters was indeed not small, located on the outskirts of the Imperial City.
Surrounded by wilderness, with mountains shielding it. There were guards patrolling everywhere, and a large number of government officials guarding it.
Without exception, every item was inspected carefully!
This place was far away from the populated areas of the Imperial City, and it was impossible to tell what place it was.
“Hurry up.”
The God-Worshipping Society pushed him, but Jiang Wen was neither slow nor fast.
Crossing a mountain pass and looking into the distance, he saw a tall pavilion appearing.
This pavilion complex covered a large area and had a magnificent aura.
Among them, there were several tall statues of gods, each of which was extraordinary.
Many carriages came and went, and the guards of the God-Worshipping Society needed to check them carefully. When their group passed through the checkpoint, the guard looked at Jiang Wen with curiosity.
After passing through three gates and entering the altar, he saw countless servants working. The followers of the God-Worshipping Society supervised the work, and anyone who was lazy would be beaten.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wen became even more disgusted with the God-Worshipping Society.
After they passed through three doors, they finally entered the underground.
Passing through a long and narrow tunnel, he saw an underground cave appearing.
This cave was inlaid with huge luminous pearls, each of which was priceless.
In the center of the cave were eleven thousand-handed statues of gods, and several monks in yellow robes stood under the statues.
Jiang Wen's divine sense swept over and found that the cultivation of the monks in the cave was not very high.
The strongest was the old man standing in the middle of the group, who was already in the realm of flourishing life fire.
The rest were only lighting lamps, looking a bit weak and unable to withstand the wind.
“Hall Master, this disciple has brought the prisoner.”
Hearing this, the old man raised his head and looked over. His eyes swept over Jiang Wen like sharp swords, as if he wanted to see through him.
“Good, you can go down. I have some words to ask him.”
“Yes!”
The God-Worshipping Society disciples left, and Jiang Wen stood in place, surveying the cave. The old man walked slowly and stood in front of Jiang Wen, staring at him.
“We meet again, Abbot Jiang.”
