Chapter 371: Chapter 256: The Second Roulette

Jiang Taicang has always felt quite wistful about his past and present life.

Once upon a time, he was a small figure adrift in the current, having gone through many hardships; his strength was too weak, leaving him unable to control his own destiny.

This life continued until that day arrived, perhaps people eventually get their chance to shine, Jiang Taicang accidentally obtained a powerful artifact.

From that moment, the destiny of his life began to be rewritten.

...

Placed the green bead well within the large furnace, according to Shangguan Lan, this pill has not yet been fully refined, and is still lacking in some fire.

Qin Yuesheng planned to pressure him, intending to have him lead the way to find Jiang Taicang.

"The Sect Leader’s strength is unfathomable, out of goodwill, I advise you to leave as soon as possible while you still can," Shangguan Lan pleaded.

"Enough with the talk, just lead the way," Qin Yuesheng picked up the large furnace, planning to take it along.

Seeing his warning unheeded, Shangguan Lan recalled his previous attempt with two others to control Qin Yuesheng’s soul, failing miserably and getting countered by him, realizing his audacity from skill, remained silent.

"The Sect Leader should be in the rear mountain of the sect, cultivating secret techniques near the old Sect Leader’s body. He always does so during nights when the moon is bright," Shangguan Lan explained, preparing to lead Qin Yuesheng to the rear mountain.

Yet upon stepping out of the small building, Qin Yuesheng’s eyes suddenly narrowed, as if predicting, he gazed towards the rear mountain.

Under the moonlight, a figure dashed forward, his robe fluttered in the night sky, an aura of evil almost tangible.

"He’s coming, he’s coming." Shangguan Lan, with a face of horror, couldn’t help but speak.

Qin Yuesheng placed the furnace on the ground, standing still, staring intently at the person.

This was a youth with hair as black as a waterfall, pale complexion, his black robe like someone from the Demon Sect, his build slightly slender.

An ivory-handled short staff hung at his waist, eerie green flames flickering in the eye sockets, enhancing his ominous presence.

"Hmm!" Jiang Taicang lacked Qin Yuesheng’s Biluo Eye and was facing away from the moonlight, only upon landing did he notice Qin Yuesheng and Shangguan Lan.

Seeing the large furnace at Qin Yuesheng’s feet, his expression suddenly changed.

This item was an extremely crucial step in his plan, must not be lost.

The night wind blew. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The two were separated by several yards, gazing at each other.

Although both Qin Yuesheng and Jiang Taicang were from Cyan Yang City and had once clashed, he had never known the opponent’s identity. Adding to this, since Jiang Taicang left Cyan Yang City after the Qin family was wiped out by ’Celestial Demon Shen Lang,’ Qin Yuesheng could hardly recognize him.

"Demon Sect members are really in Jiangnan again." Qin Yuesheng mused.

While the martial world has crooks, villains, and murderous demons, this sinister attire has always been emblematic of the Demon Sect, so Qin Yuesheng instinctively categorized Jiang Taicang as someone from the Demon Sect.

Jiang Taicang, since leaving Cyan Yang City, press forward according to the opportunities and elements from his record, reaping substantial advantages.

Oddly enough, ever since leaving Cyan Yang City, he never encountered deviations in the opportunities he aimed for, puzzled by this.

Borrowing the moonlight, Jiang Taicang finally recognized Qin Yuesheng’s appearance, he was immediately shocked, utterly incredulous: "How could it be you! How could a waste like you possibly be here!"

Qin Yuesheng frowned, this Demon Sect villain had a vile mouth, first calling him a waste.

With a cold snort, Qin Yuesheng immediately flung out a Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman, covering the area where Jiang Taicang stood.

Seeing these icy blue fragments, Jiang Taicang’s expression once more shifted drastically: "As long as he kills the Gold and Silver Pavilion’s Wang Tao for the Tai Sui Alliance’s He Hua, he will offer up the Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman, but how did this waste manage that! Unbelievable."

Jiang Taicang mumbled as if speaking madness, incomprehensible to outsiders, but Qin Yuesheng’s face showed surprise.

How does he know about this?

Jiang Taicang was well-acquainted with the vast potential opportunities and encounters surrounding Cyan Yang City, and the Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman was in his acquisition plan.

But as his familiar matters underwent significant changes, he quickly departed Cyan Yang City, seeking fortune elsewhere.

In doing so, acquiring the Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman was naturally delayed.

Now seeing Qin Yuesheng using it, Jiang Taicang was astonished, for in his memory, this Qin family youth was an undeniable waste.

Moreover, importantly, this guy should have long been dead, how was he alive before him now.

He reached for the ivory staff, shaking it repeatedly, revealing dense green mist spewing from the staff tip, wrapping all the Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talismans, instantly turning them into icy water falling on the ground.

"This technique, yet another demonstration of magic." Qin Yuesheng had encountered opponents using magic before, knowing magic to be more unpredictable and deadly compared to martial arts.

To deal with such individuals, swift victory was key, ensuring their magic’s full force was not unleashed.

He directly leaped forward, drawing the Celestial Demon’s Evil Blade, taking the initiative.

Seeing this evil weapon, Jiang Taicang was instantly furious: "So it was you that night!"
