Chapter 527: Poetic Justice
"Fellow Daoist Wang is out." Jiang Yue suddenly said and pointed to a place.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen also looked but he soon frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yue questioned.
"It’s been more than three hundred years."
At first, Jiang Yue didn’t understand what his lover was talking about.
However, when he thought about it, he soon realised and couldn’t help but frown.
"He shouldn’t be alive." He said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
As early as when they were in the third room, Wang Peng only had three hundred years until his next tribulation.
Since then, hundreds of years had passed and trapped in the ruin, Wang Peng undoubtedly missed his tribulation.
Logically, he should have died the moment he missed his tribulation.
"This..." Jiang Yue started and frowned.
"There is only one explanation." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue looked at the person.
"There is a time difference between the ruin and the outside world."
Hearing that, Jiang Yue immediately nodded.
Now that he thought about it, he felt this was the only explanation.
"I wonder how much time has passed." Jiang Yue wondered and looked around.
As if to answer his doubts, he saw a group of people walking towards them.
[The Zhao family is here.] He transmitted and Yu Nianzhen immediately turned about.
[This saves us the trouble of looking for them.] Yu Nianzhen said and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
[Exactly.] Jiang Yue agreed.
Although he and Yu Nianzhen benefited from entering the ruin, they didn’t like to be plotted against.
Now that the culprits had delivered themselves to their door, the two didn’t plan to let the Zhao family go.
However, at this moment, a loud roar suddenly filled the surroundings.
"Zhao family..., watch how I kill you." Someone shouted.
At the same time, an eagle puppet and a tiger puppet rushed towards the Zhao family.
"It looks like fellow Daoist Song also made it out." Jiang Yue said with a smile on his lips.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"It’s poetic justice to use the puppets we got to deal with the Zhao family." Jiang Yue said and also released his puppets.
However, he only released the eagle and tiger puppets but did not reveal the butterfly or humanoid puppets.
"I will follow your lead." Yu Nianzhen said and also released his puppets.
Seeing this, Wang Peng didn’t fall behind.
He immediately activated his puppets and eight level seven puppets rushed towards the Zhao family.
"You want to deal with our Zhao family using puppets?" Zhao Mingdu said and sneered in derision.
"Seeing as how you have survived for one hundred years; we were going to let you live. However, it seems like you don’t want your life." Zhao Mingdu said and turned to his clan.
"Kill them all." He said and quickly continued.
"Everything they have belongs to our Zhao family."
Hearing this, several dozen cultivators rushed to confront the puppets and the four cultivators.
"It’s the other way." Jiang Yue whispered with a mocking smile on his lips.
"Everything your Zhao family has belongs to us."
After that, a small war broke out.
However, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue still held back.
Instead of using their actual skills, Jiang Yue used soul attacks while Yu Nianzhen used physical attacks.
Regardless, the two were not at a disadvantage.
In no time, they killed several Zhao family members and slowly made their way to Zhao Mingdu.
"I will give you everything if you let me go." Zhao Mingdu said but Jiang Yue only snorted.
In the current situation, he and Yu Nianzhen didn’t need Zhao Mingdu’s cooperation to get everything they wanted.
All they had to do was kill the person and everything would naturally belong to them.
"Which mountain do you belong to? Our Zhao family belongs to a high-rank mountain. If you kill me, my mountain master will not let you go."
Unfortunately, such outcomes did not threaten Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue.
Instead, the two welcomed such revenge.
In their mind, such revenge was the best way to accumulate wealth.
"Before you die, we can give you a moment to message your mountain master. Otherwise, he will have a hard time finding us in the Burial Province." Jiang Yue said with a pleasant smile on his lips.
"You..." Zhao Mingdu shouted angrily.
"If you have time to scold us, you should take the moment to message your mountain master. When you are done, we will kill you."
Hearing that, Zhao Mingdu despaired.
He didn’t expect to suddenly hit an iron plate.
"Unreasonable." He shouted and tried to activate a teleportation talisman.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue.
Before his qi entered the talisman, the two attacked.
Without a chance to defend himself, Zhao Mingdu was directly killed and his body crumpled.
"Stupid." Jiang Yue snorted.
Soon after, he collected the loot and burned the body.
While he was doing that, Yu Nianzhen killed a few more opponents and then returned to Jiang Yue’s side.
"Let’s clean the battlefield and leave." The swordsman said.
"Good." Jiang Yue agreed but looked at Song Ruoqi and Wang Peng.
"Forget about them. We have dealt with most of the enemies. If they can’t deal with the remaining few, they deserve to die."
Hearing that, Jiang Yue chuckled but he agreed with his lover.
In the end, he and Yu Nianzhen were not righteous warriors.
Now that they were out of the ruin, Wang Peng and Song Ruoqi were just another duo of strangers.
After deciding, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue didn’t hesitate.
They hurriedly cleaned the battlefield and disappeared before the other two finished dealing with their opponents.
When they reappeared, the two were at the foot of a small hill.
"We are lucky." Jiang Yue said as he looked around.
"It’s not a good idea to teleport in the Burial Province." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
This time, they were lucky and teleported to a relatively peaceful place.
If they were unlucky, they may teleport into a dangerous situation.
Although they had the golden teleportation talisman, there was no guarantee they would have a chance to use it.
"Let’s look around. If it’s safe, I want to release the ancient palace and camp here." Jiang Yue suggested and Yu Nianzhen didn’t argue.
Fortunately, everything was as hoped.
After investigating for half an hour, the two didn’t discover any danger so they set up the ancient palace.
"Let’s go in quickly." Jiang Yue urged.
"What’s the hurry?"
"I want to check the inheritance." Jiang Yue said with a smile on his face.
"Azhen, what do you think is in the boxes?"
"Materials." Yu Nianzhen immediately said.
"Materials make sense." Jiang Yue nodded.
After all, they received a lot of materials to complete the tasks.
Considering that, Jiang Yue could only suppose there were a lot of puppet materials in the ruin.
Now that he received the inheritance, there was a high chance he also inherited the materials.
"Judging from what the Zhao family said, we have only been in the Burial Province for one hundred years. However, we stayed in the ruins for thousands of years and have gained a lot. I feel the need to retreat for a while. What about you?" Jiang Yue asked.
Hearing the question, Yu Nianzhen nodded with a solemn look in his eyes.
"I want to practice my swordsmanship." He said.
"Should we return to the mountain or stay in the Burial Province?"
"What do you prefer?" The swordsman asked.
"On one hand, we have gained an inheritance and a lot of resources. It makes sense to send them to the Cangxing mountain as soon as possible. Also, it’s safer to retreat in the mountain than in the Burial Province. However, I don’t want to waste time on the back and forth." Jiang Yue expressed his position.
"The ancient palace has always had an impeccable defence. We don’t need to return to the Cangxing mountain to safely retreat. As for the resources, isn’t there XiaoLan?"
"You are right. XiaoLan is a peak-level six demonic beast. Excluding us, few can deal with her in the Reincarnation world." Jiang Yue said with an excited look in his eyes.
"Let’s quickly check the inheritance."
"Good."
After that, the two settled in the sitting room of the ancient palace.
"I got twelve humanoid puppets, twelve jade scrolls, and three boxes." Jiang Yue said and removed the things from his storage ring.
"These puppets...." Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but be amazed as soon as he saw the humanoid puppets.
"They look exactly like humans." Jiang Yue proudly said and quickly continued.
"Azhen, I will contract six and you will also contract six."
"I..." Yu Nianzhen started but Jiang Yue didn’t give him a chance.
"I know you don’t need them but they are what I want to gift you. You have to accept them."
"Okay." Yu Nianzhen no longer tried to refuse.
"We can study the puppets later. For now, let’s look at the jade scrolls and boxes."
