The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

It was within Shuang Jiang’s expectation that Su Jingzhen would ask this question.

Shuang Jiang replied calmly, “I’m just going to retrieve something that belongs to me.”

Shuang Jiang’s words sparked Su Jingzhen’s curiosity even more.

He knew that after Shuang Jiang returned, she hadn’t taken any solo actions.

So, where was she going to retrieve her belongings from?

As he thought about this, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Clear Wind Mountain.

Su Jingzhen was no fool, and he was quite intelligent.

Many things only required a slight hint to understand.

From the beginning, he had felt that Shuang Jiang was connected to Clear Wind Mountain.

Could it be the thing that everyone on Clear Wind Mountain was fighting for?

Before Su Jingzhen could ask again, Shuang Jiang continued, “And now, I might have a general direction.”

As she spoke, Su Jingzhen could sense that Shuang Jiang’s tone had softened slightly.

Her words also hinted that her departure was approaching.

After understanding the implication of Shuang Jiang’s words, Su Jingzhen was taken aback for a moment.

He felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

Although he hadn’t spent much time with Shuang Jiang, he had grown accustomed to having her by his side.

No matter what he was doing, he never felt any fear, just like now, when they were in the midst of a major event.

All his confidence came from Shuang Jiang.

Su Jingzhen then asked, “MIss Shuang Jiang, did you already know about Luo Yuebai’s identity?”

Shuang Jiang nodded calmly, “That’s right. I discovered it the night he moved in next door.”

With Shuang Jiang’s cultivation, it was easy for her to gather information in this region, and no one could hide anything from her.

“You…”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes showed a hint of doubt upon hearing Shuang Jiang’s words.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Shuang Jiang asked, “Do you think there’s a difference between the demonic path and the so-called righteous path?”

This question caught Su Jingzhen off guard.

He initially wanted to say that the demonic path was brutal and evil, but then he thought again. Huayang Sect, which claimed to be a righteous sect, had done things that were far from just.

When it came to self-interest, the methods used by so-called righteous cultivators were perhaps even more ruthless than those of the demonic path.

He had seen this for himself in the past two days.

On the surface, they were all about virtue and justice, but behind the scenes, they were stabbing each other in the back.

In his opinion, Huayang Sect was nothing but a gang in Linjiang City.

And this wasn’t unique to Huayang Sect or Linjiang City.

So, in a sense, there was no difference between the demonic path and the righteous path.

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he looked at Shuang Jiang and said, “The power used is different, the style of action is different, but in essence, there’s not much of a difference. It’s all about fighting for resources to seek immortality.”

When Su Jingzhen replied in this way, Shuang Jiang’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She had originally thought that Su Jingzhen, who seemed so innocent and harmless, would despise the demonic path.

But…

Su Jingzhen didn’t expect his words to elicit such a response from Shuang Jiang.

He felt a mix of excitement and surprise in his heart.

Shuang Jiang nodded slightly, “Since there’s no essential difference, then who you side with is up to your heart.”

“I told you before, Luo Yuebai is someone you should keep a distance from. If you can’t do that, then try to become friends with him. That’s the best choice for you.”

“And now, it seems you can only choose the latter. This is just a balance I’m leaving for you. Your alchemy talent is your greatest advantage right now, but how you use it is up to you to decide in the future.”

As Shuang Jiang spoke, her tone became softer than usual.

This was also the first time she had spoken so much to Su Jingzhen at once.

In Su Jingzhen’s eyes, her words had a hint of final instructions.

As for the meaning behind Shuang Jiang’s words, Su Jingzhen quickly understood.

Balance?

This was nothing but balancing Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya.

Luo Yuebai was from the demonic path’s Evil Moon Sect, while Feng Qingya was from the neutral Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Moreover, from today’s events, it was clear that these two were not simple individuals.

And they both valued Su Jingzhen highly.

If he could perfectly navigate between the two, he wouldn’t be completely controlled by either side.

But the emotional connection he had formed with Luo Yuebai was still difficult for him to accept.

He couldn’t get past the psychological barrier.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Shuang Jiang continued, “You’re excellent, but your fatal flaw makes you pitiful.”

“If one day you can rely on your alchemy path, which is incompatible with the world, and stand before me again…”

“Then I might be able to give you a chance.”

As Shuang Jiang spoke, her tone was still unusually soft.

And for the first time, she was directly praising Su Jingzhen.

If it were the past Shuang Jiang, she probably wouldn’t believe she would say such words to someone.

It was all due to the emotional connection she had formed with Su Jingzhen over time.

And their emotional connection had already reached the level of ‘Slight Fondness’.

So some things came naturally to her.

The points changed again, directly approaching the 200 mark.

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat again.

Damn, he was just three points away from directly opening the Right Surging Spring acupoint!

At the same time, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

He knew that with Shuang Jiang’s personality, after saying these words, she would probably leave.

As the two of them conversed, the demonic cultivators had already begun to emerge from the various buildings of Huayang Sect.

They gathered once again in the square.

“Boom…”

At this moment, a loud explosion sounded.

The statue of Huayang Zhenren, which had stood in the Huayang Sect square for who knows how many years, was directly toppled by the demonic cultivators.

It shattered into four or five pieces.

The collapse of the statue proved the complete downfall of Huayang Sect’s Linjiang branch.

Luo Yuebai once again wielded his folding fan, standing in mid-air.

His gaze swept across the entire Huayang Sect square.

Then, it fell on the eight Golden Core cultivators, whose faces were still unnatural.

“We, the Evil Moon Sect, will take over Linjiang City and its surrounding hundred-mile radius from today!”

“If you or your sects have any opinions, We, the Evil Moon Sect, will personally visit you!”
