Chapter 110: Amnesia
Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief and slowly landed on the ground on his flying sword. The huge bird that had chased him for half a day was finally dead.
Now, he understood why the sect’s ships, be it warships or flying ships, had to contain so many offensive and defensive array formations.
The cultivation world was really too dangerous. If one did not have enough defensive ability to counterattack, would a large flying ship in the air simply be prey for demon beasts?
On the other side, the other disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley also landed. They did not pay much attention to the sword cultivator clone. Instead, they excitedly checked the scattered corpse of the condor.
The corpse of such ferocious demon beasts could often be dissected into many precious materials.
The feathers and beak were used for refining weapons, while the blood and powdered bone were used for refining pills. Both were quite good choices.
Furthermore, as the grade of the Golden-Winged Condor was not low, it was basically equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. These materials would definitely be sold for a considerable price in the sect.
It was not until another cloud gathered and the man who was obviously the leader appeared that the other disciples stopped their casual actions and stood behind him.
“Senior Brother, and fellow disciples of the four major sects, I’m really grateful for your help today.”
“I have yet to ask for Senior Brother and everyone’s names. If there’s a chance, I should pay you a visit in the future to thank you.”
Jiang Li walked over as well. He put away the flying sword in his hand and cupped his hands to thank the few people from the Scripture Storage Valley.
“Junior Brother, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. When we’re out, as disciples of the same faction, we should help each other. The disciples of our Scripture Storage Valley are often taken care of by the seniors of other sects. How can we stand by and do nothing when this happens?”
“My name is Chu Yunxuan. I am the direct disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley’s Daoist Wushe. They are all my junior brothers and sisters.”
“I should be a few years older than you, so I’ll shamelessly address myself as Senior Brother. Please don’t take offense.”
“It’s fate that we met. Junior Brother, can you also leave us your name?”
The man in the lead spoke eloquently. Coupled with his bearing, he indeed looked like a cool spring breeze.
However, the name Chu Yunxuan caused Jiang Li to recall something, wasn’t this the mysterious Eldest Senior Brother of the Scripture Storage Valley?
‘Wait, I remember now. The Skill Imparting Elder mentioned before that the name of the Scripture Storage Valley’s Valley Master is Daoist Wushe.’
‘I’ll remember this. In the future, if anyone asks who the master of the Scripture Storage Valley is, I will be able to answer.’
“Senior Brother Chu’s cultivation is profound. The accomplished are the most revered in the cultivation world. This is how it should be.”
“My name is Tang Yan. I am from… I am from…”
Jiang Li acted speechless as he spoke. He touched the small red sword on his chest, but he was unable to say the name of the sect no matter what.
Chu Yunxuan and the others looked at each other, not understanding what Jiang Li’s performance meant. With his outfit, was there a need to guess?
Shouldn’t he be proud to announce the name of a major sect? Why was he stammering?
However, Chu Yunxuan was indeed worthy of being Chu Yunxuan. This senior brother was indeed meticulous. When he discovered that Jiang Li was unwilling to speak about the sect, he took the initiative to interrupt Jiang Li’s conflict.
“On the other hand, shouldn’t the disciples of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak all leave the mountain in groups of five? Why is Junior Brother alone?”
Due to the strict requirements of recruiting disciples from the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, there were not many disciples. In fact, they were not even as prosperous as some small sects.
Therefore, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was famous for being protective of their disciples.
For the sake of safety, if the disciples wanted to leave the mountain, their strength would be the number one factor.
The disciples of the Five Elements Peak formed a team with the ability to use the Five Elements Sword Formation proficiently. This was also the standard.
Therefore, it was actually quite strange for the sword cultivator clone to appear here alone.
However, upon hearing this, the clone revealed a look of confusion from the bottom of his heart, as if he really did not know anything about what Chu Yunxuan said.
“Shu Mountain… Five Elements Peak…?”
The clone muttered to himself. It seemed that because of these few key words, he recalled some memory fragments and appeared a little vexed.
Jiang Li was not pretending. His acting skills were not that impressive.
It was because in order to better understand life, the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra had an ability that could unilaterally block the memories of the main body, allowing the consciousness to temporarily become independent. According to the memories and encounters of this body, it would act naturally.
This was what he had done just now, making that amnesia expression come from the bottom of his heart.
“Junior Brother, what’s wrong? If you need our help, just let us know.”
Seeing the clone’s expression, Chu Yunxuan also discovered that something was wrong.
But even if the Shu Mountain robes could be faked, the Shu Mountain flying swords could.
How could that powerful Shu Mountain Sword Technique be faked? The characteristics of the powerful Sword Heart were too obvious.
If this Tang Yan was not a Shu Mountain disciple, who could have produced a sword cultivator of this level in the Great Mountain Region?
“I… I’m fine. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Chu. I still have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”
In his memories, the sword cultivator’s clone subconsciously touched the wound on his neck. Then, as if he recalled something, he suddenly cupped his hands and bade farewell impolitely.
“Junior Brother, wait a moment. The Golden-Winged Condor usually lives together as a couple. With this male bird here, the nest and female bird should be nearby. Junior Brother should be careful.”
Chu Yunxuan still wanted to ask Jiang Li to share the materials on the Golden-Winged Condor, but Jiang Li rejected. He said that he was saved by them, so how could he share the spoils of war?
Furthermore, the Yin Burial Coffin was not here. He could not bring the best loot away, and had no interest in the insignificant body parts. It would be a hindrance if he took it, so he might as well leave it.
Before he left, Chu Yunxuan reminded him to fly at a lower altitude so as to reduce the chance of being discovered.
After a few pleasantries, Jiang Li did not stay any longer. The flying sword, Burning Rainbow, automatically unsheathed itself and allowed him to step onto the sword.
The flying sword rose into the air and flew away, but he listened to Chu Yunxuan’s suggestion. It flew close to the forest and stayed low, not flying high in the sky like a shooting star.
After the clone left, one of the disciples asked, “Senior Brother, don’t you find that Shu Mountain disciple odd?”
“It’s very strange. He’s clearly a Shu Mountain disciple. I’ve fought with them before. The feeling of the flying sword and sword technique can’t be wrong.”
“But for him, it’s as if he doesn’t remember anything about the Shu Mountain. When we talk about these issues, he can’t answer at all.”
Everyone was not stupid. Jiang Li’s strange performance was naturally seen and remembered in their hearts.
Even the outer sect disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley would know more about such general knowledge.
However, there were not so many melodramatic dramas in this era. Apart from the brain, cultivators mostly relied on their souls to memorize things. Therefore, memory loss was extremely rare, so they naturally did not think of it immediately.
“Should we not let him leave?”
A disciple suddenly came up with a dumb idea. He had long heard that Shu Mountain disciples were stronger. Now that he had met one, he wanted to give it a try.
The others immediately rolled their eyes when they heard this. This method was obviously unreliable.
“That Tang Yan can’t even remember the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, so how can he still remember our Scripture Storage Valley? If there’s a misunderstanding, it won’t be good if we get hurt or injure him!” The female cultivator calmly analyzed.
“Junior Sister is right. After all, this is the Shu Mountain’s internal affairs. It’s not good to get involved.”
“The mystic realm we are going to this time has people from Shu Mountain present. At that time, we can just tell them about it.”
Chu Yunxuan’s words were final.
After the group of people plundered and dissected the condor’s body, they all put it into Chu Yunxuan’s storage artifact.
Although a storage artifact was rare, as the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect, he was still qualified to possess it.
After taking off again, they headed in the opposite direction of the clone.
The memory loss was naturally Jiang Li’s intention. He wanted them to help spread it to the ears of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.
After all, Jiang Li did not put his consciousness into this body, but he did not want to make him become a rogue cultivator.
After returning to the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, wouldn’t it be good for him to obtain the ancient legacy and cultivation methods of Shu Mountain?
It was not impossible for Jiang Li to return to the mountain on his own.
However, if he returned to the sect, he might be suspected by Shu Mountain and run into a lot of trouble.
It was better to send out the news and get them to send someone to pick him up.
People would always have more trust in what they took the initiative to find.
Although a sudden resurrection would still arouse suspicion and probing, at that time, Tang Yan had only fallen into the water after being attacked by the Golden Core zombie demon. His death was not confirmed. It was not so hard to accept that he had survived after being washed downstream.
