74: The second senior brother of Jiange——Jiang Yang!
“Oh? A Soul Transformation Late Stage? And a Core Formation Realm?”
“How did you survive and get here?”
Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Lingxi looked around vigilantly.
Then, Zhou Lingxi saw a young man walk out from the forest ahead.
Jiang Yang looked at the vigilant Zhou Lingxi and waved his hand helplessly.
“Little girl, there’s no need to look at me so warily. We are all unfortunate people trapped on this Barren Island, unable to leave.”
After Zhou Lingxi used her Immortal Eyes to confirm that Jiang Yang was not a Weird Insects, she immediately felt a sense of relief, and the expression on her face relaxed.
Jiang Yang keenly caught this detail.
“Oh?”
“Little girl, why did you suddenly stop being afraid of me?”
Zhou Lingxi walked to your side and calmly replied.
“You are Human Race, so naturally, I am not afraid!”
After hearing Zhou Lingxi’s explanation, a strange glint flashed in Jiang Yang’s eyes.
“You can tell I’m Human Race?”
“Do you have a special Physique?”
This time, it was Zhou Lingxi’s turn to look at Jiang Yang in surprise. She hadn't expected him to deduce that she had a special Physique from such a minor detail.
Zhou Lingxi did not respond to Jiang Yang, but silently guarded your side.
At this moment, Jiang Yang also seemed to sense the situation.
“Who is he to you?”
Zhou Lingxi did not respond.
“I see his condition is not optimistic. He was injured by the Gang Wind in the Endless Sea to this extent. If he doesn’t enter a Secret Realm in time to recuperate…”
Jiang Yang stopped here, his tone shifted, and the expression on his face changed dramatically.
“He will soon be taken by Weird Insects through Possession. If I were you, I would send him on his way now, lest he be stabbed in the back by his closest person.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingxi’s face turned very ugly.
Since you brought her out of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, she also knew these secrets.
But she had just heard you say that she would be your Protector.
In Zhou Lingxi’s opinion, your request for her to be your Protector meant you had a way to resolve your injuries.
Zhou Lingxi resolutely told Jiang Yang that you would be fine.
Jiang Yang sighed helplessly at this.
“Alright, since you’re so stubborn, then good luck. If he really gets taken by Weird Insects through Possession, don’t stop me from killing him.”
After Jiang Yang threw out these words, he turned and left the beach, entering the forest.
Meanwhile, Zhou Lingxi silently guarded your side.
A month passed in a flash.
Zhou Lingxi saw Jiang Yang emerge from the forest again.
Jiang Yang looked at you in surprise, a hint of shock on his face.
“Oh? This Little Junior Brother’s injuries are actually getting better, and…”
Zhou Lingxi saw Jiang Yang circling you a few times and frowned, saying.
“What are you doing?”
“Strange! Strange!”
“This Little Junior Brother actually shows signs of Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm.”
Jiang Yang told Zhou Lingxi not to worry; he wouldn't attack you.
Half a year later, you successfully refined all the Qi and Blood from the Wanmo Sect and Fenglei Sect, successfully achieving Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm Early Stage.
When you slowly opened your eyes, what greeted you was a face both unfamiliar and familiar.
“You are?”
At this moment, seeing you awaken, Zhou Lingxi immediately ran to your side, embraced you, and burst into tears.
“Brother Su, you’re finally awake! This person kept saying you might be taken by Weird Insects through Possession, and I was so scared!”
Upon hearing this, you stroked Zhou Lingxi’s head, comforting her.
Once Zhou Lingxi’s emotions stabilized, you turned your gaze to Jiang Yang.
The more you looked at Jiang Yang’s face, the more you felt you had seen that face somewhere before.
Jiang Yang, seeing you staring at him, suddenly felt a bit flustered.
“Little Junior Brother… do we know each other?”
At this moment, your mind was constantly searching for information about the person in front of you.
Soon after, your eyes widened, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on your face.
“Second Senior Brother! It’s you! It’s actually you!”
You remembered, the person in front of you was indeed the Second Senior Brother of the Sword Pavilion.
When you first entered the Sword Pavilion, Lin Tian had shown you portraits of all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.
Because there was so little information about the Second Senior Brother, you hadn't paid much attention to him.
This is why you didn't recognize him immediately when you first saw him.
“Me? Second Senior Brother?”
Upon hearing this address, Jiang Yang seemed to fall into some memories.
“You are from the Sword Pavilion?”
Subsequently, you told Jiang Yang about your entry into the Sword Pavilion and the recent news of the Sword Pavilion's destruction.
Upon hearing these things, Jiang Yang’s face showed a hint of sadness.
“I didn’t expect that so much would happen to the Sword Pavilion during the twenty years I was trapped on this isolated island.”
“I didn’t expect even Great Senior Sister to have already…”
Jiang Yang stopped here, a pained expression appearing on his face.
In his view, Zi You was one of the strongest forces against the Weird Insects.
Jiang Yang hadn't expected Zi You to die prematurely because of a Human Race traitor. This was simply a tragedy for the Human Race.
You suddenly noticed that you had not successfully left the Endless Sea, but had fallen onto a Barren Island.
You began to ask Jiang Yang how to leave this Barren Island and return to the Canglan Realm.
Jiang Yang looked at you and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't leave here.
“Outside the isolated island is nothing but endless Gang Wind. We can’t see the way back at all, and we’d be killed by the Gang Wind before long.”
Jiang Yang knew your thoughts, but even he, a Body Integration Realm Cultivator, couldn't return to Youzhou, let alone you, a Void Refining Early Stage.
Jiang Yang told you that he was also being hunted by Weird Insects in Zhongzhou.
Forced to enter the Endless Sea, he miraculously entered this Barren Island and survived.
“It’s a pity that Great Senior Sister’s Great Void Art is too difficult to Cultivate; otherwise…”
Jiang Yang’s words stopped abruptly there, and he didn't continue.
Now that Zi You had fallen, there was no one left in the world who could take them out.
Upon hearing this, your eyes immediately lit up.
“Wait, Senior Brother Jiang, what did you just say? Great Void Art?”
Jiang Yang sighed and explained.
“That’s right, the only hope to get out of here now is the Great Void Art.”
“But the Great Void Art is too profound; it’s very difficult to Cultivate without the Bloodline of Great Senior Sister’s Family.”
At this moment, Zhou Lingxi, who was beside you, looked at you excitedly and said.
“Brother Su, I remember you seem to know the Great Void Art! We can leave here now!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang was filled with shock, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at you.
“Little Junior Brother, you know the Great Void Art?”
“I’m talking about the complete Great Void Art, not the incomplete version like Sixth Junior Brother’s!”
