Jin Ling sat up at once, shouting, "Uncle!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes swept over, responding coldly, "You wish! Now you're calling me uncle-why did you run so fast earlier?!"
After he finished, he turned the direction of his gaze either intentionally or not towards Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi. Before the pairs of eyes could meet, Su She had already steadied himself with his sword, Nanping, and lunged at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng hadn't even attacked when a string of dog barks sounded. Fairy charged into the temple like a flying fish and threw itself straight at Su She.
Hearing the dog, Wei WuXian immediately felt his hair rise. He shrunk back into Lan WangJi's arms, half-dead with fright, "Lan Zhan!"
Lan WangJi had already embraced him without needing any reminder, replying, "I am here!"
Wei WuXian, "Hug me!"
Lan WangJi, "I am hugging you!"
Wei WuXian, again, "Hug me tight!"
Lan WangJi, also, "I am hugging you tight!"
Even without the view, just listening to the voices was enough to make Jiang Cheng's facial muscles twitch. He originally wanted to look that way, but now he gained complete control over his neck. Right this moment, from behind the palace rushed a couple of monks and cultivators, attacking with their swords. Jiang Cheng laughed coldly before he raised his right hand, painting a brilliant streak of purple amid the Guanyin Temple. Any who was struck by the purple were sent flying backwards, yet he still held the umbrella steadily in his hand. Only when everyone in the palace lay in disorder on the ground, jerking and quivering as if they were still being shocked, Jiang Cheng finally closed his umbrella. On the other hand, Su She yelled in anger, trying to tackle the dog.
Jin Ling yelled from the side, "Fairy! Watch out! Fairy, bite him! Bite his hand!"
Lan XiChen called out, "Sect Leader Jiang, be careful of the guqin!"
Before he even finished, notes of the guqin sounded from behind the Guanyin Temple. However, back on Burial Mound, Jiang Cheng had already suffered quite a lot because of the dark melody. He was naturally more than alert. The moment the first note echoed, he kicked the ground, using the tip of his foot to bring up a sword that a cultivator dropped. With his left hand, he tossed away the paper umbrella and grabbed the sword, and with his right he unsheathed Sandu from his waist. With a sword in each hand, he slashed them against each other with force.
The two blades scraped, letting out an extremely harsh noise that overcame Jin GuangYao's guqin.
It was quite the effective method! But there was only one shortcoming-the sound was just too painful to hear! It was so painful that it felt as if one's ears would be pierced through by the terrible noise. And to Lan XiChen and Lan WangJi who grew up in the GusuLan Sect, it was even more unbearable. Both of the two frowned slightly. However, Lan WangJi was in the middle of doing his job, hugging Wei WuXian, and was unable to cover his ears. And so, as Wei WuXian trembled, listening to the dog barks, he reached out and covered Lan WangJi's ears for him.
With a hardened face, Jiang Cheng continued to create the nasty noise with the two swords in his hands as he approached the back of the palace. But before he even reached the place, Jin GuangYao walked out on his own, covering his ears, "Sect Leader Jiang, I must admit my defeat against such a power move."
Jiang Cheng swung Zidian towards Jin GuangYao, who dodged out of the way, "Sect Leader Jiang! How did you get here?"
Jiang Cheng refused to talk to him. Jin GuangYao's spiritual energy wasn't as high as his, so he didn't dare face him directly. He could only dodge nimbly, again and again, remaining composed as his subordinates attacked Jiang Cheng, "Did you chase after A-Ling when he was running around? Fairy must've led the way for you as well. Well, I was the one who gave it to him, after all, but it gives me no face or whatsoever."
