I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 365

365 High-Level Meeting
The Sect Master of the Star Luo Sect, the Sect Master of the Rising Sun Sect, the Valley Master of the Phoenix King Valley…

These were all influential figures of Feng Province whom Jiang Beiran had met in the Masked Moon Sect. Now, they were the cornerstone of Feng Province’s rise. For all these people to appear here at the same time, it was obvious that Feng Province was in big trouble.

“Come, come, come. Everyone, come over here. This is the new Emperor of the Shengguo, Jiang Beiran. You old fellows should recognize him properly. Don’t forget to greet the Emperor when you see him in the future.”

As Jiang Beiran was recognizing the faces in the tent, Yin Jianghong put her arm around Jiang Beiran’s shoulder and introduced them.

After listening to Yin Jianghong’s introduction, the big shots in the tent had different reactions. Some were sizing her up, some were disdainful, and some were kind…There were also a few who revealed unhappy looks.

!!
But no matter what, this new Emperor of the Kingdom of Sheng was personally brought over by Yin Jianghong, and they couldn’t show too little respect to Yin Jianghong, so on the surface, they still said politely,”So this is the rumored new emperor. He is indeed young and promising.”

Yin Jianghong was about to speak when she heard a deep voice from outside the tent.””Of course. Why don’t you take a look at who elected this new emperor?”

The curtain of the tent was lifted and Guan Shi ‘an walked in with a smile.

“Greetings, Sect Master Guan (Old Brother)”

All the sect leaders of the righteous sects in the tent stood up and cupped their hands in greeting. Of course, Jiang Beiran was one of them.

As he saluted, Jiang Beiran was even more surprised. What kind of vicious thing was that miasma? It had actually made this madman come out of seclusion.

“Sit down, sit down. Why are you being so polite?”Guan Shi ‘an smiled and waved his hand.

After all the sect masters had taken their seats, Yin Jianghong said,””You came really fast.”

Guan Shi ‘an didn’t want to spoil him, so he retorted,”Stop being so sarcastic. The meeting hasn’t even started yet.”

Yin Jianghong did not continue to argue with Guan Shi ‘an. She walked to her seat in the middle and waved at Jiang Beiran.”Come, Bei Ran, sit here.”

Nodding, Jiang Beiran walked to Yin Jianghong’s side and sat down, followed by Guan Shian.

‘Tsk… Is he roasting me on the fire?

On the left sat the leader of the demonic sect, and on the right sat the leader of the righteous sect. Jiang Beiran, who sat in the middle of them, seemed to have become the head of the table, as if he had unified the demonic path and the righteous path.

Jiang Beiran, who didn’t want to bear such pressure at his age, quietly moved his chair back and sat behind Yin Jianghong.

In the following meeting with the big shots, Jiang Beiran more or less understood what was going on.

The miasma appeared in the wee hours of the morning, and the strong fluctuation of spirit qi immediately attracted the attention of the sect master of the Five Accumulations Sect, Feng Qirui, who was the closest to this place.

When he arrived, he found that the miasma was expanding at an extremely fast speed. Many young disciples who were also attracted by the spiritual energy fluctuations were swallowed by the miasma and never came out again.

Feng Qirui’s cultivation was at the Third Stage Mystic Emperor Realm, so his strength was definitely considered extremely powerful. However, when the miasma attacked him, he actually felt a sense of palpitation.

“Run!”

Feng Qirui followed the instructions of his heart and immediately distanced himself from the miasma without any hesitation. He only stopped to observe when the miasma slowed down and quickly came to a conclusion.

This miasma was extremely dangerous.

Before he was completely confident, Feng Qirui didn’t dare to act rashly and entered the miasma.

Encountering such a big problem, Feng Qirui didn’t have any intention of flaunting his abilities. He directly sent a letter to the Masked Moon Sect, hoping that Guan Shi ‘an would come and see just what kind of danger this miasma that made even the dignified Mystic Emperor’s heart palpitate contained.

Upon receiving the letter, Tai Yingzong immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. To be able to make a Mystic Emperor’s heart palpitate with just a glance, the miasma’s degree of danger was probably far beyond his imagination.

Thus, he decided to inform Guan Shi ‘an who was still in seclusion.

This was because he had a premonition that this would be a major event that would affect the overall situation of Feng Province. His sect master had to personally come out and preside over it.

Just as Feng Qirui was asking for help from the Sect, the Principal of the Malevolent Demon Court, Zhuang Zhi, had also arrived at the other end of the miasma. His cultivation was on par with Feng Qirui’s, and he had also felt the terror of the miasma, so he quickly made the same decision as Feng Qirui.

Send a message to the Spirit Dragon Sect!

Not long after, more experts were attracted by the powerful spiritual energy emitted by the miasma.

This was because only the birth of a treasure could cause such a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Yin Jianghong didn’t hesitate when she received the news. She went to the miasma immediately. Guan Shi ‘an, who was called out, had just arrived.

The meeting went on until noon, and Jiang Beiran had also come up with a few keywords in his mind.

The first was ‘palpitation’.

Everyone who had experienced the miasma felt their hearts palpitate, as if there was a great evil hidden in the poison.

The second was ” It’s still spreading.”

That’s right, although the miasma did not spread as fast as it had when it first appeared, it did not have any intention of stopping. It was still slowly expanding its territory.

The third was that Lan Prefecture was also affected.”

This miasma seemed to have agreed to give Lan Province and Feng Province fifty strokes of the stick. Starting from a small village by the sea, it enveloped a part of the land of the two provinces.

“Old brother, have you seen the miasma?”The Star Luo Sect’s Sect Master Xie Zhengchu looked at Guan Shi ‘an and asked.

Guan Shi ‘an nodded and replied,”I’ve seen it when I came. It’s indeed very strange.””

“Why don’t you try feeling it?” Yin Jianghong asked with a smile.

“Could it be that you’ve felt it?” Guan Shi ‘an asked directly.

“Naturally, I came to ask you because I personally touched the miasma.”

“Oh? How do you feel?”

“Answer my question first. Have you ever felt that miasma?”

“This lord does not cultivate poison or Gu, so naturally, I will not touch that evil thing. On this point, this lord admits that I am no match for Cult Master Yin.”

“Alright, it’s better if you admit it than not being me. Hahaha.”

Yin Jianghong didn’t care if Guan Shi ‘an was being sarcastic or not, as long as he admitted defeat.

Guan Shi ‘an didn’t expect that his mockery would be taken as a tonic. Although he was helpless, he could only sigh in his heart,’ This guy is really thick-skinned.’
“So, Cult Master Yin, can you tell us what exactly that miasma is?”

“It’s a gu poison, and it’s an extremely powerful gu poison.”Yin Jianghong replied.

“Gu?” A surprised exclamation came from the tent.

Gu was different from poison. If poison was said to be based on destroying the other party’s physical body, then Gu was an object that could control the mind of others.

In terms of influence, the latter was much more troublesome.

After all, poison could only kill one person, but bewitchment could bewitch thousands.

However, it was because the effect of the Gu was too terrifying, so the hundred-year-old cultivation Gu, the sect, and the evil sect were all wiped out by other famous sects and righteous sects. Why would they make a comeback now?

Seeing that her limelight had already surpassed Guan Shi ‘an, Yin Jianghong clapped her hands twice and said,””Now that we know what we are facing, let’s discuss a countermeasure together.”

For a time, the tent was silent. Not to mention in recent years, even in recent decades, they had not encountered such a thing. The method to deal with voodoo was basically at the knowledge stage, and very few people had actually implemented it.

“Since you’re not going to say anything, let me say it.”Yin Jianghong rested her chin on her hands and continued,””I believe everyone here knows that the miasma is still spreading and the situation is very tense. Otherwise, if the miasma spreads as crazily as it did at the beginning, I believe that none of you here can afford such a heavy loss.”

The group of big shots nodded one after another when they heard this, especially the sects that were closer to the miasma. Their reactions were even more sincere.

“So I have three plans. First, let the array masters think of a way to build a defensive array to stop the miasma from spreading.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiran finally understood why Yin Jianghong had called him here. It turned out that she had taken a fancy to this.

‘This old man is really making the best use of everything.’

” Second, we should first find out which realm and below the gu poison can have an effect on, and then organize people to enter the miasma to find the cause. This is an urgent task. We can’t place all our hopes on the miasma disappearing or stopping spreading.”

The big shots continued to nod after hearing this. Although the miasma had not yet reached their territory, they knew that it would be too late to regret it when the time came.

“Third, we must evacuate the civilians in the direction of the spreading of the mias. Otherwise, Feng Province will suffer a huge loss.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran took the initiative to express his stance.””Leave this to me.”

The reason why Jiang Beiran was so enthusiastic was naturally because he wanted to take on the easiest job. Although he was worried that the miasma would spread even faster, entering the miasma was a matter of life and death. Jiang Beiran still chose not to go if he could. He even dared to say a few words to those who did not dare either.

Upon hearing Jiang Beiran’s request, Yin Jianghong patted his shoulder and said,””There is no need for Your Majesty to worry about such a small matter. I have an even more important task for you.”

“Alright, there’s no way to run. He definitely wants me to go into the miasma and fight with him.”

However, the strange thing was that the system did not give him any hints. This meant that he could indeed enter the miasma safely and escape unscathed.

After hearing Yin Jianghong’s order, Guan Shi ‘an wanted to add a few words, but he heard a voice shouting from outside the tent,””The envoy of the Purple Frost Cult from Lan Prefecture requests an audience.”

“Lan Prefecture?”

Everyone in the tent was stunned, including Jiang Beiran.

“Let him in.” Yin Jianghong waved his sleeves.

“Yes, sir!”

With a reply, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a young man in a white robe walked in.

“Greetings, Sect Masters.” As soon as he entered, the white-robed young man immediately said to the surrounding big shots.

Everyone nodded in response. Yin Jianghong said,”Purple Frost Sect, what brings you here?”

“Reporting to Sect Master Yin, this junior is here to convey our wish to cooperate with the other Sect Masters in Fengzhou.”
