Chapter 390: Unreasonable
When the wind ceased, a woman was standing in front of Jiang Yue, Yu Nianzhen, and Ye Lin.
Seeing this, the three grew tense and couldn’t help but take a step back.
"Senior." They called in unison.
At their call, the woman didn’t react.
She looked at them, turned to the Rong family camp, and then took a step to the edge of the dry lake.
"Leave right away." She suddenly said.
’As expected, women are the most unreasonable.’ Jiang Yue thought and sighed.
In fact, the woman was partly justified.
As core formation realm cultivators, they didn’t have a share of the ancient tomb.
However, none of them was willing to give up.
"Senior, we are disciples of the Rong family in Frozen Lake City. We are waiting for our ancestor to arrive." Rong Yu said, hoping that mention of the family’s ancestor would restrain the woman.
When the woman heard that, she sneered in derision.
She was a mid-stage nascent soul realm cultivator while the ancestor of the Rong family was only at the early stage.
In her eyes, ancestor Rong was nothing and couldn’t scare her.
However, she knew she couldn’t monopolise the tomb so she didn’t dare to be too domineering.
After all, ancestor Rong was a local snake.
If he arrived and found that she had killed his descendants, he may cooperate with others to deal with her.
Thinking of this, the woman glared at the Rong family and turned to Jiang Yue’s group.
"Senior, we are also waiting for our master." Jiang Yue said with a small smile on his lips.
"Who is your ancestor?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue didn’t want to answer.
Although he and Yu Nianzhen were in a weaker position, they had their arrogance.
If they allowed a random cultivator to take initiative of the situation, they would surely be oppressed until Yang Xu and the others arrived.
"We will introduce the senior to our ancestors when our people arrive."
At this, the woman’s eyes narrowed.
Although Jiang Yue’s words were simple, they hid a wealth of information.
From the words, the woman learned that Jiang Yue was waiting for a large group of people and among them, there was more than one nascent soul realm cultivator.
’Are they from a big force?’ She wondered.
As a casual cultivator, what she hated most were big families and forces.
She always felt that cultivators from such forces were too lucky and she couldn’t help but be jealous.
However, her hatred and jealousy were not indiscriminate.
No matter what, she didn’t dare to attract more trouble than she could handle.
Seeing the two young men who were at the peak of the core formation realm, the woman instinctively knew their background was not easy to mess with.
If she dared to mess with the descendants of a force that could cultivate such young talents, she would definitely not come to a good end.
After figuring it out, the woman snorted and turned to look at the bottom of the lake.
[I thought she would attack us.] Jiang Yue said and sighed in relief.
[I am here and senior Niu is here.] Yu Nianzhen said.
Although senior Niu rarely interfered with their lives, he would step up to help them if they encountered an unsurmountable enemy.
"XiaoYue, you need to hurry up." Yu Nianzhen reminded.
At first, they expected that the ancestor of the Rong family would be the first to arrive.
Unexpectedly, a casual cultivator found the tomb first.
"I know." Jiang Yue nodded.
He also felt a sense of urgency.
Fortunately, the person who arrived wasn’t completely unreasonable.
If a madman arrived before Yang Xu, the two would be under a lot of pressure.
As the two were talking among themselves, the woman approached them.
"Which one of you is the formation master?" She asked.
When she arrived, she noticed the incomplete formation.
From the completed bit, she knew the formation’s level was high which was one of the reasons she didn’t continue to trouble them.
"What advice does the senior have?" Jiang Yue asked, with a polite smile on his lips.
"Come with me to inspect the tomb formation." She ordered.
However, Jiang Yue was not willing.
Before he continued to study the tomb formation, he had to complete the defence formation.
Otherwise, he and Yu Nianzhen would not have a safe place to retreat in case of trouble.
"Senior, I have already studied the formation and the difficulty is not low. It cannot be broken in the short term."
"If it can’t be broken with skills; it can be broken with strength. Come with me and show me where to hit."
After saying that, the woman didn’t give Jiang Yue a chance.
Before anyone could react, she wrapped him in a layer of wind and forcibly pulled him toward the lake.
However, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen weren’t vegetarian.
Before the woman took more than a few steps, Shanjiang was already in Yu Nianzhen’s hand, and a sharp sword intent struck the wind cyclone.
"Senior, it’s impolite to do this." Jiang Yue said and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You dare to resist?" The woman roared and glared at the two.
It had been more than two thousand years since she broke through to the nascent soul realm.
During that time, she was respected everywhere and no juniors dared to resist her orders.
When she took Jiang Yue, she didn’t expect that two core formation realm juniors would dare to refuse her.
"What gives you the courage to resist?" She asked, her eyes narrowed into a straight line.
"Do you believe I won’t kill you because your family has a nascent soul realm cultivator?"
"Senior should know that a lot of cultivators will soon be gathered here." Jiang Yue started without the slightest fear in his eyes.
"Senior doesn’t care because she is strong. However, our cultivation is not high and we have to care. Before I study the formation, I must first arrange a protective formation." Jiang Yue said with a voice that brokered no arguments.
Hearing that, the woman sneered.
However, her mood lightened a little and she looked at the three.
"Before your people arrive, I will be in charge of your safety." She said.
"Senior, I am afraid I must insist on arranging the formation."
"Do you believe I can’t protect you? Do you look down on me?" She queried in a deceptively calm voice.
"The senior is a mid-stage nascent soul realm cultivator and is a top existence in our Cangxing. How can we look down on the senior?" Jiang Yue answered but he didn’t plan to compromise.
"Although the senior is powerful and can perfectly protect us, I can’t rest assured until I arrange a defence formation."
"How long do you need to arrange the formation?"
"I need three days."
"You have one day." The woman said and flew away before Jiang Yue could say more.
[XiaoYue, we have to be careful of her.] Yu Nianzhen reminded.
Although the woman compromised, Yu Nianzhen saw the murderous intent in her eyes.
At the end of the day, she was a nascent soul realm cultivator.
She couldn’t tolerate their resistance and didn’t plan to let them go.
However, she was also cautious.
From her behaviour, Yu Nianzhen suspected she wanted to wait until they entered the tomb before dealing with them.
"I know." Jiang Yue said and nodded.
After that, he led Ye Lin to continue arranging the formation while Yu Nianzhen followed behind to protect them.
"Teacher, can you arrange it in one day?" Ye Lin asked in a low voice.
His brows were creased in a frown and Jiang Yue could tell he was worried.
"Don’t worry." Jiang Yue said.
After years of studying, arranging an early-stage fifth-level formation was no longer a tedious task.
The reason Jiang Yue planned to do it in three days was because he wanted to teach Ye Lin along the way.
Unfortunately, the plans could not keep up with the changes.
With the arrival of the female cultivator, Jiang Yue had no choice but to hurry along.
"The situation should be stable for the time being." Jiang Yue said but his brows were creased in worry.
"Things will go wrong if more evil cultivators arrive before righteous and neutral cultivators." Yu Nianzhen said.
"My thoughts too."
Since the Death Flower Ascension Front was eliminated from the Cangxing world, the fight between evil and righteous cultivators resumed right away.
If more evil cultivators arrived first, the orthodox way would lose momentum.
At worst, the tomb would be directly controlled by the evil way and orthodox cultivators may not be able to get any benefits.
"Fortunately, most of the regions controlled by the evil way are in the far South of the Cangxing world. It will be a while before they get here." Jiang Yue observed and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
However, the two didn’t plan to be careless because of this.
