Chapter 1,242: Out of Place

wn, it was completely certain that this Jiao Gu was intentionally targeting himself.Then Jiao Gu continued, "However, the higher the price you offer, the more peculiar this thing must be, and the more..."By the way, what's the name of your Kong family's young master"

As her voice rang out, a figure slowly began to emerge in Jiang Yun's mind!

A man in black, his figure always straight as a pine tree!

Although more than forty years have passed, Jiang Yun still clearly remembers the first man he met when he first arrived at the Wenda Sect's mountain gate, the one who gave him a sense of danger!

That man, just like me, was a new recruit to the Wendaomen.

Not only was he at the top of all the tests arranged by the Wen Dao Sect, but he also kept his true cultivation level hidden from beginning to end.

Even at the very end, when Jiang Yun last met him, he didn't know how powerful he truly was.

This man is a fellow disciple of Jiang Yun. His name is...

At this time, Kong Meng had already spoken: “My older brother, his name is, Kong Wushang!”

unharmed, Kong is unharmed!

When Jiang Yun first saw Kong Meng, he felt a sense of familiarity because Kong Meng's appearance bore some resemblance to Wushang.

However, Jiang Yun couldn't have imagined that his fellow disciple from the Shanhai Realm, who was unharmed, would coincidentally resemble Miss Kong of the Kong family. That's why he couldn't think of it for a moment.

For Wushang, Jiang Yun had a deep impression. Besides Wushang's strength being the absolute strongest among all the disciples who entered the Asking Dao Sect that year, it was also because Wushang was proficient in the Five Elements magical arts!

Once upon a time, there was a competition between the Lunhui sect and the Wendao sect that was unknown to their disciples. Ginger Cloud wasn't qualified to participate, but he was fortunate enough to witness the entire competition.

In that competition, his unscathed opponent was Feng Wuji!

Although he was ultimately defeated, his mastery of the Five Elements Arts shocked everyone.

Especially the move "Five Elements Transforming into Dao" left Dongfang Bo utterly speechless in admiration.

Because that means, Wushang has already found his own path.

...At that time, Ginger Cloud had only just begun his path of cultivation...

However, it was precisely because he remembered the Five Elements Transformation Dao so vividly that when Jiang Yun saw Kong Benchu performing the Ten Thousand Fires Transformation Dao, he finally remembered the name Wu Shang.

Wu Xing Hua Dao, is the process of condensing objects from the Five Elements into a spinning wheel;

While Wan Huo Hua Dao is about condensing flames into a disc.

These two methods are very similar.

With Jiang Yun's current strength and insight, he could naturally see that the two magical techniques were actually derived from the same source.

Or, they all originate from the Five Elements Taoist sect!

Therefore, this finally allowed Jiang Yun to be certain that there must be a relationship between Wu Shang and the Kong family!

During the time of the Shan Hai Realm, Jiang Yun never bothered to inquire about Wushang's origins or show any curiosity. However, he knew that Wushang always acted as if he were detached from the world, out of sync with everyone else. His personality was extremely solitary and aloof, lacking any friends whatsoever.

Now, Jiang Yun finally understood the reason. It was because Wushang wasn't from the Shan Hai Realm at all.

He should have entered the Shanhai Realm and joined the Wenda Sect after leaving the Wu Xing Dao Zong that year.

Knowing the relationship between Wushang and the Kong family, Jiang Yun couldn't believe it. He was here, not only learning about Wushang's true origins but also meeting Wushang's relatives.

Of course, for the Kong family, he would definitely lend a helping hand.

Because Ginger Cloud cares a lot about the term "same sect."

Moreover, he also learned from Gui Li that back then in the underworld, Wu Shang would even risk facing Gui Li and Fang Yu Xuan alone just to seek revenge against him.

Just because of these two points, Ginger Cloud wouldn't stand idly by regarding the Kong Family's affairs.

It's a pity that since their parting in the Netherworld, Jiang Yun has never seen Wu Shang again.

I don't know if he entered the chaotic and desolate realm like I did, nor do I know if he is still alive.

However, Jiang Yun would rather believe that no matter whether it was Wushang, Tang Yi, or Lu Yourong and the others, they must still be alive and well!

After hearing Jiang Yun's account, Kong Benchu and all the members of the Kong family were filled with astonishment.

Although they didn't know where Wu Shang went, they never expected that he would go to another world and join a branch of one of the Nine Great Sects.

If it hadn't been confirmed that Ji Yun entered the Wudao Sect and left the Wu Xing Dao Sect around the same time, then they wouldn't believe Jiang Yun's words.

After a long while, Kong Benchu finally woke up as if from a dream and said, “But, but at that time, Wu Shang had only just entered the Five Elements Dao Sect. Even if his talent was outstanding, it would be absolutely impossible for him to cultivate to the Tianyou Realm and be able to stand in the realm of gaps!”

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Although Wushang concealed his strength, it's impossible for him to reach the Heavenly Protector Realm. So his entry into the Shanhai Realm must have been an accident..."

"Either way, there must be some hidden secret within it that is unknown to everyone."

"Speaking of this, Ginger Yun glanced at Kong Benchu and said: “However, your Kong family, wouldn’t you have any idea why Wu Shang would leave without a word”

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's question, Kong Benchu did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he transmitted his voice and said: "Since Daoist Jiang and Wu Shang are fellow disciples, then you are not really an outsider to my Kong family. So I will tell you the truth. Of course we have thought about it, and we even suspect that Wu Shang was harmed by his master at the Five Elements Dao Sect!"

A cold light flashed in Ginger Cloud's eyes as she said, "Why would you have such doubts"

Because his master's previous disciples had all died in mysterious accidents, Wu Shang was taken in by him when he joined the Wuxing Daozong.

Ginger Yun shook her head. Although it was possible, it could also just be a coincidence. After all, as cultivators, there were life-threatening dangers at all times.

"Since you have doubts, didn't you try to find out the truth"

"It's impossible to find the truth!"

Kǒng Běnchǔ smiled wryly and shook his head. "Master Wú Shāng is highly respected within the Five Elements Taoist Sect, and he's a powerful cultivator at the Tianren Wu Jie realm."

Even if he admitted with his own mouth that he killed Mushan, we didn't have the guts to go after him for revenge.

Jiang Yun nodded in understanding and said, "Perhaps, one day, Wushang will appear before us again. By then, everything will be clear!"

……

The True Element Realm, a world located on the only path leading to the Yaodao Sect, is where Jiang Yun and Kong Benchu now find themselves.

Kōng Mèng stretched out his finger, pointing towards the clearly visible city in front of them. He smiled and said: "Brother Jiāng, that's Zhēn Yuán City. My Kǒng family's shop is located within the city. Once we enter, we can directly return to the Kǒng family through the teleportation array."

Since she learned that Jiang Yun and her older brother were from the same sect, Kong Meng naturally changed how she addressed him. She would often pester Jiang Yun with questions about her brother, whether there was something important or not.

Jiang Yun could tell that her relationship with Wu Shang was actually very good, so she answered all his questions. Back and forth they went, until now Jiang Yun simply treated Kong Meng as a younger sister.

After more than half a month of traveling, their group finally arrived at this Zhenyuan Dao realm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally safe.

However, just as everyone had already seen the city gates of Zhenyuan City, Kong Benchu's face suddenly darkened, and a flame suddenly rose from his body, intertwining into a huge fire net that enveloped everyone.

Then, two deafening booms echoed as two massive boulders crashed down upon the fire net!
