Chapter Seventy-Three: Jiang Tuo's Iron Corpse

  Chu Ping concentrated her mind and looked around, only to find that a middle-aged man with a strange dress had walked over from the end of the carriage.

  He wore a black Taoist robe, which made him particularly eye-catching on the train. Moreover, he was quite emaciated and had a waxen complexion, resembling a dried-up corpse.

  "What kind of background does this person have, in broad daylight with everyone watching, he's actually wearing a Taoist robe like that? Even the respected elders of those immortal sects who revere the Tao and seek truth with all their hearts wouldn't come out like this in the middle of the day!"

  Chu Ping frowned at the sight, but didn't intervene, instead turning his head back to his own thoughts.

  It was a sweltering summer day, around noon, and the carriage was packed with people. The air inside was stiflingly hot, but when that strange man walked over, everyone in the carriage retreated, as if there was something terrifying about him.

  That person, however, was calm and composed, without any awkwardness, walking through the carriage as if no one was around. When he walked up to Chu Ping, he suddenly let out a surprised "huh".

  Although Chu Ping didn't notice, as a cultivator, his senses were sharp and he heard the sound. He scanned over with his divine sense and saw that the person's eyes flickered with an unusual glow, shining like stars, staring at Xu Jing.

  When Chu Ping used his divine sense to scan and probe, that person let out a soft "hmm" and turned his head around to stare at Chu Ping again!

  Chu Ping's extended divine sense was immediately enveloped by a layer of dark fog, and for an instant, nothing could be seen. His heart skipped a beat, his true yuan condensed, and a ball of vital energy gathered in his dantian, ready to take action as soon as the opponent made a move.

  The man in black Taoist robes, however, smiled strangely, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth like jade. Suddenly, a layer of soft white light rotated at the corner of his mouth and he easily picked up Liu Qiang sitting next to Chu Ping and sat down.

  Liu Qiang was suddenly lifted up, feeling annoyed, but seeing the man's strange attire, he had a few points of apprehension in his heart. However, relying on the fact that all the people around him were his classmates, he was about to shout loudly, but when he looked at this strange man, he only felt that the other party's eyes flashed with countless dazzling lights, and under the dizzying gaze, his consciousness was momentarily stunned, and he involuntarily revealed a smile, standing still beside him, holding onto the seat.

  The people around were shocked by this scene, but seeing Liu Qiang's smiling face, they thought the two knew each other and didn't say anything else.

  Wang Huaqiang was confused on one side, thinking to himself when Liu Qiang got to know this strange person. If he didn't know him, with his explosive temper, how could he be at a disadvantage? He must ask him carefully later.

  The strange man sat down, and Chu Ping only felt that his mind was filled with endless black fog, shrouding his senses and auditory perception. The surroundings were all boundless darkness, and his heart was in a state of panic, but he still slightly tilted his head to the side, even though he couldn't see anything.

  "With a cultivation that's not bad, golden light enveloping his body, spiritual light bursting from the top of his head, and an age of only around twenty, he's already a cultivator comparable to the Golden Dan period!" Immediately after, several voices of admiration were heard, all of which entered Chu Ping's mind.

  Chu Ping knew that he had met another superior person, and the other party was also using the method of transmitting sound into secrecy. At this time, he also transmitted his voice, "Senior is overpraising, junior is a disciple of Wuxiang Temple, I don't know how to address senior?"

  "Haha, Wusang Temple, how unfortunate! I am the evil demon and heretic in your eyes!"

  Chu Ping heard this and remained calm, neither surprised nor afraid. He replied calmly, "What does senior want to do?"

  "Don't worry, I have no interest in taking advantage of a junior like you! Seeing that you're also blind, I won't hold it against you. It's just a chance encounter on the road, and I came up to chat with you!"

  Chu Ping nodded silently, but didn't believe it one bit.

  The eccentric man saw that everyone around him was looking over here, and also saw that Xu Jing and others were all concerned, and asked Chu Ping, "Do you know this girl in a purple long dress?"

  Chu Ping saw that he was pointing at Xu Jing, and his heart skipped a beat. He said in a low voice, "This is my friend, what do you want to do?"

  "Haha, you definitely won't notice, this girl has the Ancient Divine Pulse on her body, what a waste of heaven's gift! My wife is planning to take in a female disciple recently, and I happened to run into her this time. It can't be helped, I'll have to bring her back with me. Don't you think it's a good thing?"

  "Primordial Divine Pulse?"

  Chu Ping's heart slightly stirred, although he didn't understand, but this person had an air of mystery about him, and was shrouded in a dark aura, it seemed that he wasn't a decent person either. He concentrated his mind and said, "Taking on a disciple or becoming a master is about mutual consent, it can't be forced, Senior should ask for her opinion first!"

  As soon as the words came out, a burst of laughter suddenly echoed in his mind. "Who I, Jiang Xi, want to take away is none of your business. I'm just giving you a heads up because you're still somewhat likable, don't think about intervening, or else I'll turn ruthless!"

  The man named Jiang Zuo finished speaking, opened his mouth and spat out a large cluster of black mist that enveloped the entire carriage. A strange smell spread, causing everyone's head to spin dizzily, and they couldn't help but faint.

  Jiang Xi stood up, a cluster of black fog swirling around his hand, grabbed Xu Jing who was leaning on the chair and pulled him into his sleeve, then took a step to leave!

  As swift as lightning!

  Dai Chu Ping snapped back to reality, but the other side had already completed a series of actions!

  "Leave someone behind!"

  Although he knew he was no match, how could Chu Ping just sit and watch as Xu Jing was taken away by this man! Moreover, this man acted without any scruples, and even admitted to being an evil demon, Xu Jing, such a gentle girl, fell into their hands, who knows what kind of suffering she would endure!

  Without thinking, both hands came out at the same time, and a huge Buddha's palm floated out, shining with golden light. In the center of the Buddha's palm, a dazzling sun and stars rotated ceaselessly, and rolling golden light and heat radiated out, directly slapping the Jiang Xiang!

  Golden light surged forth, instantly dispersing the dark energy within Chu Ping's divine consciousness. A vast and mighty aura accompanied the Buddha's palm, fiercely sweeping forward like a tsunami, pushing everything before it.

  Wú xiāng sì, rì lún yìn! -> Musou-ji, Nichirin!

  "Not bad for a divine ability! I'll give you a small iron corpse as a keepsake!"

  Jiang Xi's face was full of admiration, gazing at the golden light filling the entire carriage. The black air surged on his left sleeve, and a large gray light ball floated out, stretching and transforming in mid-air, instantly turning into a six-foot-tall humanoid figure!

  His entire body was dry and lifeless, without a hint of vitality, his skin gleaming with an icy sheen like gold or iron, and a faintly discernible aura of mystery emanating from him.

  "If you can subdue this iron corpse, when you have time, bring it to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains of Miao Territory to find me. At that time, I will let you see your friend!"

  In a word, Jiang Yi's voice had become faint and distant, as if it came from a very far place, obviously he had gone far away!

  The rolling sun wheel is about to crash onto the iron corpse!
