I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 636: Chapter 583: Self-Directed and Self-Acted (Alliance Leader +1)

On the city walls, Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment cultivators from various places in Guan Nanbao rushed over, standing on the walls and scanning the devastated land filled with corpses.

Some arrived late, seeing a giant rat, pitch-black and massive, on the city wall, thinking it was a demon cultivator’s spiritual pet attacking the wall, they directly attacked it.

Jixiang fearlessly opened its mouth and took a fierce breath at the golden light attacking its face, swallowing the light instantly into its stomach.

The person was shocked and struck again, the buzzing sound reverberating as the Black Armor Bee swarm fiercely charged forward, while Jixiang took the opportunity to shrink its body and scurried along the wall to escape.

There was still a lot of food on the battlefield below, it cannot be wasted, squeak~

The Black Armor Bee swarm did not really kill the person, it merely feigned a move and then turned around to fly away.

Amid the whirling sandstorm, a group of people saw Jiang Yuebai walking over slowly, behind her was a long-haired water ghost holding a green lantern in hand, its wet long hair covering its face, dripping blood, stepping over the headless corpse of a black-clothed blade master.

That person was also on the demon cultivator’s bounty list, and his head was worth quite a few spirit stones.

Everyone thought of the scene where she killed a group by herself just now, and their scalps tingled.

However, there were currently four Nascent Soul cultivators on the city walls, if Chenzhou Wanderer wanted trouble, it might not be a fight the others couldn’t handle.

”Chenzhou Wanderer, long time no see!”

A clear shout suddenly came, as a white-clothed, white-haired female cultivator with a blindfolded child appeared out of thin air outside the city gate.

The cold Chenzhou Wanderer saw the newcomer, stopped in her tracks, and exchanged a distant gaze.

”True Monarch Wangshu?”

Bai Jiuyou stood at the side, looking at Jiang Chenzhou and Jiang Wangshu, the white eyes under the white gauze almost rolled to the sky.

On the city wall, Lou Cunming’s eyes lit up upon hearing the name True Monarch Wangshu, wasn’t that the recently famous guest elder of the Zhuge family?

Lou Cunming quickly separated from the crowd and ran to the front to take a closer look.

At first glance, nothing extraordinary, not as impressive as Chenzhou Wanderer...

Cough~

The young man feigned a cough, suppressing the blush on his cheeks.

Outside the city gate, Jiang Wangshu raised a Zhuge family token to show to the people on the wall, loudly saying, ”Everyone, please remain calm, I’m here.”

After speaking, Jiang Wangshu looked at Jiang Chenzhou and said loudly, ”Chenzhou Wanderer, I know that although you are in the demon dao, you are a person of great righteousness and would never kill innocents indiscriminately, it’s just the circumstances that have forced you to this.”

Bai Jiuyou: (￢_￢)

Jiang Chenzhou turned his head with a cold snort, dismissing it.

Jiang Wangshu continued, ”Today, give me face, don’t involve the innocent, others may impersonate you to do evil, I will certainly reveal it to the public and clear your name, after all, so many people have seen it, they won’t let you bear the name of killing innocents indiscriminately.”

Jiang Chenzhou raised his head to look at the people on the city wall, Lou Cunming blushed and nodded hastily, looking as if he would definitely help clarify.

The others glanced at each other and slightly nodded as well, for if they could avoid fighting, no one wished to resort to force.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenzhou snorted, ”Fine, last time I lost to you, I admit I’m not your match...”

Bai Jiuyou: (´⊙ω⊙`)

”...But I, Chenzhou Wanderer, will never admit defeat like this, we will battle again someday! Today, I give you face, and moreover, keep this remnant soul and have a thorough soul search to see who is impersonating me to do evil, if you do nothing, I, Chenzhou Wanderer, will not let them off lightly!”

With that, Jiang Chenzhou took a soul from the Little Green Lantern and put it into a Soul Bottle, throwing it to Jiang Wangshu.

With a gust of night wind, Jiang Chenzhou vanished like smoke, along with Little Green, the black-charred version of Jixiang, and the Black Armor Bee swarm also vanished into the night.

Jiang Yuebai exhaled a long breath, tidying her sleeves before turning around, suddenly noticing Bai Jiuyou looking up at her, though blindfolded, not hiding her disdainful expression.

”Circumstances compelled it,” Jiang Yuebai transmitted to Bai Jiuyou.

Turning around, Jiang Yuebai reported her intentions to Lou Guanqing on the wall, who deactivated the array and let her onto the wall.

”Today, I was lucky to have the help of True Monarch Wangshu, Lou is greatly appreciative,” Lou Guanqing courteously said.

Jiang Yuebai generously waved it off, ”It was a trivial effort, nothing worth mentioning.”

Next to them, another Nascent Soul female cultivator of the Lou family asked, ”Is True Monarch Wangshu old acquaintances with that Chenzhou Demon Head?”

Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips and nodded, a faint, helpless sigh in her demeanor.

”We’ve met a few times, actually, she is also a pitiful person, gifted since childhood, but her aloof nature always caused her good intentions to go awry and misunderstood by others. When her sect faced calamity, everyone fled, and she was the only one who stayed to defend against the evil cultivators.”

”In the end, the evil cultivators came in full force, and she couldn’t hold on despite her efforts. A promising junior brother was also seriously injured, his path destroyed; everyone unjustly blamed her, and she entered the demon path in a fit of anger, wandering alone thereafter.”

Upon hearing it, the female cultivator sighed, ”If that’s true, she is indeed a pitiful person.”

”Did you really defeat Chenzhou Wanderer?” Lou Cunming asked curiously from beside her.

The others, recalling the ferocity of Chenzhou Wanderer, also looked at Jiang Yuebai with curiosity.

Jiang Yuebai gave a shy smile, ”Merely a narrow victory, not worth mentioning.”

Bai Jiuyou: (≖_≖)

Jiang Yuebai secretly kicked Bai Jiuyou and said to Lou Guanqing, ”Fellow Daoist Lou, would you like to see the remnant soul Chenzhou Wanderer gave me?”

Everyone was reminded of what was important and quickly invited Jiang Yuebai into the city.

After some investigation, nothing special was found in the memory of the ghost-controlling evil cultivator; these evil cultivators followed the fake Chenzhou.

But they all knew there was someone behind the fake Chenzhou, but exactly who was unknown.

In fact, without evidence, everyone understood that this group was recruited by Heavenly Star Sect to do the dirty work.

The expansion of the Heavenly Star Sect was unstoppable, and Yuquan Sect was unwilling to stand out, merely passively retaliating and retreating, causing hardship for all sects and factions in Yuping Mountain.

But they couldn’t accept Heavenly Star Sect’s way of doing things; if they defected to the Heavenly Star Sect, they would inevitably be oppressed in the future, and so, things reached an impasse.

Jiang Yuebai conveyed the intentions of the Zhuge Family’s Supreme Elder to the Lou family, if they were willing to leave, the Zhuge family could find them a place to temporarily stay in the Eight Immortals River Basin.

The Lou family expressed that they needed to discuss and consider, asking someone to first take Jiang Yuebai to the guest house to rest and to stay for a while longer.

Jiang Yuebai knew that the Lou family was worried about the fake Chenzhou returning, as taking Guan Nanbao was strategically significant for Heavenly Star Sect, and they were determined to have it.

She had defeated Chenzhou Wanderer, which made her a strong ally to the Lou family.

Jiang Yuebai had no objection to this, after all, the matter of the fake Chenzhou was not yet completely resolved, and she had to expose the person behind it to clear Jiang Chenzhou’s name.

She, Jiang Wangshu, had promised in front of everyone, as a rising star of the righteous path, how could she break her word?

The Lou family arranged a secluded courtyard rich in spiritual energy for Jiang Yuebai, and after returning, she closed the courtyard door, took out the storage bags seized earlier, and inventoried the spoils.
