Chapter 1234: Kong Family, Kong Meng

uld completely let go of this grudge and sit down with him like two old friends, sharing wine and stories about the past forty years.After all, they come from the same place—the Shan Hai Realm!To some...Although Gingercloud had anticipated that the Daoist Temple would dispatch people to trail him, he hadn't expected them to find him even after he had altered his appearance, suppressed his aura, and remained hidden underground for over three months.

And Ginger Cloud watched with his own eyes as the man disappeared into the darkness, and even his divine sense couldn't catch a trace of him.

This made him realize that the other party was well-versed in the laws of space, and it seemed that the Daoist Temple had anticipated his taking of the Cauldron of Emptiness, so they specially sent such a master to trail him.

However, Ginger Cloud didn't take it too seriously.

With his current strength and all his trump cards, as long as he doesn't encounter true powerhouses like those at the Dao Zun level or those with comparable human-dao fusion realms, even if he faces figures like Dao Er, he might not be able to win, but escaping would still be no difficult task.

Moreover, there is also a top-tier powerhouse, Lei Mu, by my side!

Mother Lei is now asleep. Once she awakens, with her power, only top-tier powerhouses like the Dao Zun will be able to match her.

The only thing that puzzled Jiang Yun was how the people from the Dao Temple could have found him.

"It should be that the other party followed me when I left Leiji Tian. Therefore, no matter how I changed my appearance or restrained my aura, the other party could still find me!"

To find out if my guess is right, you just need to find an opportunity to verify it!

Thinking of this, Ginger Cloud stopped paying attention and just wanted to continue meditating with his eyes closed. However, he didn't expect that Kong Xiu's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Brother, what should I call you"

Originally, Ginger Cloud wasn't going to use his real name. But since the people from the Daoist Temple kept following him, he simply stated his true name: "Ginger Cloud!"

"Kong Xiu sat down beside Jiang Yun unceremoniously and said, "Brother Jiang, although our Kong family's ship isn't slow, it still takes two or three months to reach the Jinxia Wasteland. Such a long journey must be tedious for you sitting here!"

Jiang Yun said faintly, "For cultivators like us, two or three months are just a fleeting moment!"

"That's true, I think your younger brother looks a bit unfamiliar. Are you from the Jinxia Wilderness or do you have friends there"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun immediately understood that Kong Xiu clearly had suspicions about him and deliberately came to inquire about his background.

Fortunately, Bai Ze was very familiar with the Jinxia Wasteland, so Jiang Yun effortlessly dispelled Kong Xiu's suspicions.

Even gleaned quite a bit about the Kong family from Kong Xiu himself.

It turns out that this Kong family isn't small-time either. They have ties to the Five Elements Daozong, one of the Nine Great Dao Sects. They were also among the first to make their fortune by transporting people and goods.

After so many years of accumulation, it can be considered quite successful and well-known. The reputation is also good.

However, Ginger Cloud could tell from Kong Xiu's boastful words that he was clearly troubled, especially about this journey. It seemed he lacked confidence in it.

Since the other party didn't explain, Jiang Yun was too lazy to ask. Anyway, when they reached the Tianze Realm, he would just leave on his own!

After chatting for about an hour and a half, Kong Xiu took her leave, and Jiang Yun began to close his eyes and enter meditation.

Over the past two or three months, Ginger Cloud certainly hasn't been idle. He has devoted all his energy to researching medicine, especially the Universal Alchemy Technique left by the Medicine God!

Going to the Heavenly Azure Dao Realm to fulfill Bai Ze's wish was just a small favor for Jiang Yun. What he truly cared about was the journey to the Yaodao Sect.

Although he doesn't know it yet, the higher his skill in alchemy becomes, the greater his chances of being chosen by Dan Daozi, the sect master of Yaodaozong.

Thus, the ships sailed steadily through the dimensional rift, two months passing peacefully and without incident.

Just as Jiang Yun was rejoicing that the 100 pieces of fifth-grade spirit stones were indeed worth it, Kong Xiu's booming voice rang out across the entire ship: "Fellow travelers, I apologize, but now we will be returning double your fare!"

As he spoke, a young man from the Kong family walked up to Jiang Yun's face, took out two hundred pieces of five-grade spirit stones and handed them to Jiang Yun. Then, with a face full of apology, he bowed his fist towards Jiang Yun and said: "Daoist friend, I'm sorry."

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and, instead of looking at the spirit stone in front of him, he looked at the other person and said, "What does this mean"

Inside the cabin, other passengers also voiced their confusion.

Kong Xiu shouted loudly, "That's right, just ahead is the Tianze Dao realm. Our scouts have also sent back news that the Tianze Ancestor himself is leading a team waiting for us in the boundary gap. Therefore, our master said that this time, we might not be able to safely send you all to your destination. We can only refund you double the ship fare and ask you to disembark here."

Someone asked in bewilderment, "Weren't you the opponents of Ze Aozu that day"

Kong Xiudao said, "Whether the opponent is truly strong can only be known after the fight. However, you are all our guests. Our Kong family has always been in this line of work, paying attention to reputation and cannot implicate you. So, for your safety, we can only ask you to disembark early."

Someone shouted loudly, "What on earth is going on Kong Xiu, the Kong family isn't the first time walking this road, I've never heard of such a thing happening!"

And besides, that day Ze Ancestor only wanted money. As long as you give him enough to grease the palms, wouldn't everything be fine

Kong Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Originally it was like that, but this time, our situation is a bit special..."

Before Kong Xiu could finish his words, a woman's voice suddenly rang out: “To be frank, the reason I’m here is because I was on the ship!”

Next, a tall and slender woman with long black hair like a waterfall and an ethereal beauty appeared before the crowd. She bowed deeply to everyone and said: "My name is Kong Meng, the daughter of the head of the Kong family!"

Seeing the woman appear, many people immediately looked enlightened, apparently understanding what was going on.

This Tianze Ancestor was extremely lustful, especially fond of human women.

"If there were no Miss Kong on board, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for us. But with Miss Kong here, unless we leave her behind, he will certainly not let us go."

"However, Miss Kong, since you are on the boat and know the temperament of Patriarch Tianze, you shouldn't have brought us aboard together!"

This time, Kong Xiu was the first to speak, explaining: “We were indeed wrong. We were also acting under a sense of complacency.”

Because although Ze Laozu would set up ambushes on the road every day, he rarely appeared himself. He usually sent a subordinate to collect the money and rescue the person.

But to our surprise, he showed up in person this time, so we can only ask you all to leave. We hope you understand.

Although the Kong family's actions were indeed improper, they lived up to their reputation. They not only informed everyone in advance to disembark and doubled the ship fare, effectively providing free transportation for two months.

Therefore, everyone else also stopped making things difficult for the Kong family. After accepting the spirit stones, they all stood up and said their goodbyes before leaving.

However, Ginger Cloud's gaze was fixed on Kong Meng, her brow slightly furrowed. She remained seated motionless on the deck.

Gingeryun's behavior was extremely abrupt, naturally causing the young man from the Kong family to frown and say: "Friend Daoist, if you don't get off the boat, then don't blame us when something happens."

Gingeryun, however, completely ignored the young man and continued to stare at Kongmeng. He always felt that he seemed to have seen Kongmeng before!
