Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 255 The Untamed 17

Lan Zhan was always dressed neatly and properly, and only last night when he was drunk could one see some difference. Although Lan Zhan hurriedly put on his undershirt and outer coat, his clothes were still a little untidy, and his hair was a little messy, with his slightly red ears. Wei Ying was even more aggressive and wanted to tease him.

Wei Ying kept trying to get closer to talk to Lan Zhan, and although Lan Zhan liked him in his heart, he kept avoiding him because of the current environment and his own appearance. Then, when Jiang Xinxin took off her outer and inner clothes and sank into the cold spring with Jin Zixuan to heal her injuries, the two were still dodging and sticking to each other.

Lan Zhan was also a bit cunning. He knew that Wei Ying always valued Jiang Xinxin the most, so when he really couldn't avoid her, he turned around and moved closer to Jiang Xinxin. Wei Ying was reluctant to squeeze Jiang Xinxin, so he stopped playing tricks. But something unexpected happened in an instant. Wei Ying slipped and didn't notice when a small whirlpool appeared under his feet. He stepped into it and was sucked away.

Lan Zhan reached out to pull him immediately, but he only grabbed Wei Ying's sleeve and was sucked in as well. Jiang Xinxin also tried to pull Lan Zhan, just like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, and a series of people were sucked into the barrier under the cold spring.

Wei Ying was the most unlucky one, because he fell down first, so he was used as a scapegoat by Lan Zhan, Jiang Xinxin and Jin Zixuan behind him, and was pressed down three times in a row before he could get up.

Jiang Xinxin quickly helped Wei Ying up, and after seeing that he was not seriously injured, she turned around and asked Lan Zhan, "Brother Wangji, did you know that there is such a place in your Lan family?"

Lan Zhan had already looked around, and after hearing Jiang Xinxin's question, he could only answer: "It looks like we are under the cold spring. The cold air here is even colder than the cold spring. This should be the source of the cold spring."

So they went upstream against the current and walked for about half an hour before they came to a relatively flat stone chamber. Strangely, there was a stone table in the chamber, and on the table was an ancient zither that looked quite extraordinary.

What’s even more interesting is that there are actually a few white rabbits in this stone chamber, and one of the rabbits even has a headband on its forehead that is similar to the one on Lan Zhan’s.

It is true that Wei Ying is brave, but he is not stupid either. He certainly would not continue to move forward after seeing something that is obviously in the Lan style, such as a headband.

But just as everyone walked into the stone chamber, suddenly there were sounds of attacking Xue Chonghai and destroying Yin Tie. They were all direct descendants of aristocratic families, so they understood what these sounds meant.

The sound continued, and even in the air appeared an illusion of the hundreds of immortal families' crusade against Xue Chonghai. Jiang Xinxin saw the jade disk with black air in Xue Chonghai's hand, and realized that it was the so-called Yin Iron. In fact, it was a pass given to this world by the underworld. If this pass was missing, from then on this world and the underworld could only have a one-way connection. New life could be born in this world, but all life could only self-destruct after death, and there would be no afterlife.

Therefore, the cultivators in this world are becoming more and more like mortals. Even the life span of top cultivators is around 70 or 80 years old, which is twice the average life span of mortals. But in fact, the two should not be compared.

Jiang Xinxin watched the entire process of Xue Chonghai being attacked, and sighed, "Xue Chonghai has harmed all the lives in this world for his own selfish interests!"

Jin Zixuan looked at Jiang Xinxin and found this statement a bit strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Xue Chonghai did harm many cultivators with Yin Iron out of selfishness, but he didn't seem to do anything to mortals. Why do you, Ah Cheng, say that he harmed the whole world?"

Since this place is hidden, Jiang Xinxin is willing to say a little more, "This Yin Iron was originally supposed to be a jade disk. Xue Chonghai used the jade disk to absorb and utilize resentment, which made the jade disk become the ominous Yin Iron. I guess, this jade disk should not be an ordinary thing. Xue Chonghai wanted to use the modified Yin Iron to rule the hundreds of immortal sects. Not only did he suffer the backlash and die in one day, the most important thing was that the jade disk could not play its original role, so I said Xue Chonghai harmed the people of the world."

Lan Zhan was also a little confused, because Jiang Xinxin's words were really far-fetched, but Wei Ying, the son of destiny chosen by heaven to return the jade disc, easily understood Jiang Xinxin's words. He even looked in the direction of the stone platform, confirming that although there was only an ancient zither there, one of the fragments of the Yin Iron must be there.

The strings of the guqin suddenly moved, and a very sharp spiritual power rushed directly towards them. Jiang Xinxin raised her hand to block one, and then blocked several subsequent spiritual powers. However, as they got closer to the stone platform, the attack of the strings became more and more rapid.

Wei Ying saw that Lan Zhan didn’t seem to be affected by the spiritual power from the strings, and looked at the headband on the rabbit’s forehead that was jumping leisurely beside him. He quickly turned around and called out to Lan Zhan, “Lan Zhan, lend us your headband!”

Lan Zhan had already recognized that this was the string killing technique created by his ancestor Lan Yi. After hearing Wei Ying's words, he quickly took off his headband and tied up Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan's wrists. He pierced his fingertips to take a drop of blood, and then cast a spell to cover it in front of Jiang Xinxin. In this way, he could temporarily deceive the guqin and make it think that they were all descendants of the Lan family.

Sure enough, after this operation, everyone was able to approach the stone platform easily and was no longer attacked by the string killing technique. However, the Yin Iron that had just been released and had gone through a batch of PPTs finally fell on the stone table as if it could not bear the weight, and continued to emit thick Yin energy and resentment to the outside, which made people feel very ominous when looking at it.

When the Yin Iron fell to the ground and everyone was still at a loss, a woman with a headband flew out from the strings. Lan Zhan thought about it carefully, stepped forward and bowed, "Junior Lan Zhan, meet Senior Lan Yi."

Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan also hurried forward to greet them and introduce themselves. Lan Yi no longer had the energy to figure out why not all those who came here were descendants of the Lan family.

Lan Yi spoke directly, "What you have seen and heard before were the scenes of the 100 immortal families besieging Xue Chonghai. Xue Chonghai committed atrocities and attempted to use the Yin Iron to unify the world. It is said that Xue Chonghai died at the hands of the 100 immortal families, but in fact, Xue Chonghai died from the backlash of the Yin Iron. The power of the Yin Iron is unimaginable. If it weren't for Xue Chonghai's own evil, the 100 immortal families combined would not be able to defeat Xue Chonghai."

After saying that, Lan Yi turned to Jiang Xinxin and asked sincerely, "Mr. Jiang, from what you said before, you know where this Yin Iron came from, and what it is used for, right?"

Jiang Xinxin did not hide it and said directly: "Yes, the Yin Iron comes from the underworld. It is the certificate given by the underworld to this world. With this certificate, the Underworld can be connected with the six reincarnations of the underworld. After death, the creatures of this world will understand their merits and demerits in the Underworld, and then according to their own merits and demerits, the underworld will decide where to go in the next life."
