By the time these men were awoken, Jiang Ning would have already been able to find the Longevity Pond easily and they would be able to attain immortality.
Everyone got into their hibernation pods and entered into deep sleep.
"I didn't expect them to agree to it," sighed Liu Chuandao. He was really surprised.
Every single person here was one of the best fighters of that time.
Even though they weren't as powerful as Jiang Ning or Mr Lang, they were still virtually unstoppable. Yet they had all listened to Jiang Ning and chose to remain in deep sleep.
If Jiang Ning really wanted to harm them, then they were now literally just waiting for Jiang Ning to kill them in their sleep.
But of course, Liu Chuandao knew that Jiang Ning would never do that.
Jiang Ning was someone who was a man of his word and did everything he promised. This was the feeling he got from the first time he met Jiang Ning.
For some unknown reason, he simply believed in Jiang Ning. He still had no idea why.
"You will watch over them here, and don't let anybody know about their existence. This area will be off limits to everyone else except yourself. Do not let anybody in the sect know about them," instructed Jiang Ning.
'TH see to that." Liu Chuandao nodded.
After giving those instructions, Jiang Ning left through the mountain gate.
Meanwhile.
After a very long period of time, Mr Lang was in a frenzied state as he finally smashed through all the chains in the passageway.
BAM!
He kicked the last chain to pieces and hopped out from the passageway. He had no idea how much time had passed.
His hair was a mess and insanity colored his eyes.
"Jiang Ning!!" he roared. "So you've seen through me?!"
Jiang Ning had used this to stall for time. Jiang Ning knew that he would definitely walk into the passageway, so he purposely made it such that he would be stuck for a long time inside. He had no idea where Jiang Ning had gone or what he had done during this time.
He still had no inkling.
This bastard!
Mr Lang finally realized that despite making so many calculations and reading so many people's hearts, he had never understood what Jiang Ning was thinking about. Worse still, Jiang Ning had seen right through him instead.
He had lost this fight very badly.
Mr Lang went back to Qingshan Sect to find that the mountain gate was shut fast. The members of Qingshan Sect were all guarding the gate with a formation, so he couldn't get out. Was Jiang Ning trying to trap him within the mountain gate?
Just like how Broken Soldier had trapped him inside back then?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Mr Lang laughed manically to
himself. He was furious and indignant, but he continued to
remain calm. He had weathered so many storms and was used to this. He wouldn't allow himself todose all rationality.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, do you really think you've won? Did you think you wouldn't go looking for the pond just because you don't want to? Your biggest weakness is your sentimentalism! There's nothing that will solve that!" said Mr Lang as he laughed loudly. He was in no hurry.
He returned to the northern region, raised the Triple Lifetime Bronze Coffin up from the bottom of the lake and lay back inside the coffin with a gleeful look on his face.
"I'll be waiting for you. You will definitely end up looking forthat pond. When that happens, it'll be your turn to beg me."
The coffin lid creaked as it slowly shut itself and sank back into the lake. The surface of the lake soon became calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ning had already returned to Donghai.
Everything was peaceful again.
Mr Lang was stuck inside the mountain gate and wasn't able to make any trouble for the moment. If he tried to fight his way out of the mountain gate, he would definitely regret it. Jiang Ning was sure of that, and Mr Lang was definitely even surer.
At the Lin family bungalow.
Jiang Ning came back to the sound of merry laughter.
Peter Pan was squatting on the floor as he looked at Jiang Yao in the pram as he tried to make funny faces at her to amuse her.
"Doesn't Master look like a monkey? Don't you think I look like one?"
He playfully made monkey noises as he pretended to be a monkey, making Jiang Yao gurgle and laugh. Peter Pan immediately jumped up.
"My wonderful disciple! You're such a good girl! You look so pretty when you smile!" He laughed loudly and excitedly. "And now, I'll be a tiger!"
