The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1364 - 1355: Smart or Stupid?

Within the ruins.

There is no distinction between day and night; the sky remains perpetually bright.

Those who enter the ruins can only roughly estimate the passage of time.

Under He Wuji’s training, Ye Chenfeng managed to release two dragons with the Dragon Soars Nine Heavens move, effectively doubling its power, and his mastery of Frosty Sword Intent reached the second tier level.

And at that moment, outside the Grim Mountains.

Aside from Jiang Junhua and three loose cultivators, who had already been attracted by Jiang Motian’s commotion, two black dots appeared from the left direction. These two black dots continued to approach, and about thirty seconds later, they arrived outside the Grim Mountains. freēwēbnovel.com

The two black dots were a man and a woman, with garments embroidered with a pattern of an iceberg on their chest, signifying Hanbing Sect’s emblem.

Among the two, the man was one of Hanbing Sect’s leaders, Ning Xuesong, at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, who was also the adopted son of the Sect Master of Hanbing Sect.

The woman appeared around the age of eighteen, with a refreshing and lovely appearance. She was Ning Xuening, the daughter of Hanbing Sect’s Sect Master, currently at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm in strength.

Ning Xuening originally wasn’t fond of training, which explained her slow progress in strength. However, after she imprisoned Ye Chenfeng in the Ice Holy Land, thinking he would be stuck there forever,

Ye Chenfeng not only broke through his strength within the Ice Holy Land but also tamed the Nine Nether Ice Lion. Eventually, he even comprehended the Frosty Sword Intent, something no one in Hanbing Sect had achieved, causing quite a stir in the Ice Holy Land.

Most notably, at that time, Ye Chenfeng even kissed Ning Xuening, a proud girl who had never been involved with any man, making Hu’s her first kiss stolen by Ye Chenfeng.

To make matters worse, Ye Chenfeng evolved the Ice Devouring Worms within his Dantian and left Hanbing Sect under the courteous escort of the Sect Master and others. Upon leaving, Ye Chenfeng even said things that insulted Ning Xuening’s reputation, making it known within Hanbing Sect that Ning Xuening was already associated with a man.

After this incident, Ning Xuening abandoned her previous unruly behavior and became silent and focused solely on training. At that time, she was initially at the stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm, but now she reached the late stage, progressing rapidly, though still incomparable to the prodigy Ye Chenfeng.

During this time, Ning Xuening constantly used Hanbing Sect’s information network to track Ye Chenfeng’s movements, determined not to let this shameless man escape.

Initially, her father was against Ning Xuening entering the ruins, but couldn’t resist her persistent pleading, and finally, after gifting her a defensive Magic Artifact, reluctantly agreed for her to enter the ruins.

Ning Xuening entered the ruins in hopes of finding some fortunes to enhance her strength, never imagining that Ye Chenfeng, whom she despised to her bone, was also in these ruins.

As Ning Xuesong and Ning Xuening just reached outside the Grim Mountains, three black dots appeared from the right direction. Upon closer approach, they turned out to be three women in their twenties.

These women’s garments had a moon pattern on their chest, signifying they were disciples of the Wanyue Pavilion.

The leading woman among them had an extraordinarily outstanding appearance, giving off a fairy-like feeling untouched by worldly matters. She was the strongest among them, at the middle stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, and her name was Su Bingshuan, one of the two leaders of Wanyue Pavilion.

The two women standing behind Su Bingshuan were at the Second and Third Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm respectively.

Seeing both Hanbing Sect and Wanyue Pavilion members being drawn here, especially with two Divine Thought Realm experts among them, Jiang Motian felt relieved, considering the indelible shadow left by the Sword God’s tomb previously.

As Jiang Motian was about to explain the situation to Hanbing Sect and Wanyue Pavilion members, two more shadows swiftly approached from his rear. Upon their arrival, Jiang Motian’s smile grew wider, as these two were disciples of Yinming Sect, at the Third and Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm, adding significant support to him.

Upon seeing Jiang Motian, these two Yinming Sect disciples respectfully called out, "Young Master Jiang."

One tall disciple whispered in Jiang Motian’s ear, causing Jiang Motian’s expression to keep changing. From this tall disciple’s words, he learned of the Heaven and Earth Laws within these ruins, finally understanding why Jiang Junhua’s strength improved so rapidly, while others present also had vigilant expressions, indicating Jiang Motian was the only one unaware of this ruins’ peculiarity.

The unfortunate part is that in these ruins, once strength reaches the Second Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, it gets wiped out by the Heaven and Earth Laws, otherwise, Jiang Motian would have liked to start slaughtering. Fortunately, Jiang Motian was still at the Initial Stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, giving him room to improve his strength.

However, Jiang Motian was not eager to boost his strength immediately, lest he misses greater opportunities the ruins might offer.

After waiting another half an hour without further arrivals, Jiang Motian explained his discovery of the Sword God’s tomb within the Grim Mountains, though he didn’t detail much of its dangers, merely stating that the two from the Shuis are trapped there and are likely already dead.

After briefly explaining, Jiang Motian said, "Okay, the reason I gathered you all here this time is to explore the Sword God’s tomb together. I suggest we rest separately for the day to adjust our strengths to the optimal state and see if anyone else arrives within this day."

"Of course, I believe you all know the unique law within these ruins. To avoid mutual slaughter, let’s rest separately, and gather here after a day."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Wanyue Pavilion’s Su Bingshuan, who wasn’t fond of talking, directly led her two disciples to the right, indicating Wanyue Pavilion had no objections.

Hanbing Sect’s Sect Master’s adopted son, Ning Xuesong, cupped his hands towards Jiang Motian and said, "Young Master Jiang, we have no objections either."

After finishing, Ning Xuesong led Ning Xuening towards the left.

After Wanyue Pavilion and Hanbing Sect members left, Jiang Motian instructed Jiang Junhua and three loose cultivators, saying, "You rest here outside the Grim Mountains. More people might arrive within this day still."

After cautioning Jiang Junhua and others, Jiang Motian went with two Yinming Sect disciples to find a place to rest.

Once the three major sects’ people left, Jiang Junhua, originally expressionless, suddenly turned extremely sullen. With him being the only Shui present, he knew that even if he benefited from the Sword God’s tomb, those benefits likely wouldn’t reach him.

Jiang Junhua glanced at the three loose cultivators at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm beside him, and an idea formed in his mind to use them as the advance party; if dangers really awaited at the Sword God’s tomb, he could retreat immediately.

Jiang Junhua addressed the three loose cultivators, saying, "If we go with them to the Sword God’s tomb, even if we gain treasures, they likely won’t be ours. Why not unite and explore the Sword God’s tomb first? If any danger arises, we can still retreat since to them, you three are just cannon fodder."

Upon hearing Jiang Junhua’s words, the three loose cultivators frowned, knowing he was right. While Jiang Junhua was initially at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm, together they might not lose to him.

With the tremendous potential benefits of the Sword God’s tomb before them, the three hesitated briefly before agreeing to Jiang Junhua’s proposal. After ensuring the three major sects’ people had left, they followed Jiang Junhua into the Grim Mountains.

As Jiang Junhua and his group just entered the Grim Mountains, three Divine Senses swept over the area, and Jiang Motian, having already left the Grim Mountains, curled his lips into a smile: "The fish has taken the bait, now let them scout out the Sword God’s tomb."

Jiang Junhua thought he was incredibly clever with his ploy, but was he truly wise? Or merely foolish?
