Within the Canglan region, in the Shangguan Family.
“Tsk, are all your words true?” The man seated in the great hall had a questioning look in his eyes.
He was the family head of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Li.
“That’s right. I tracked Shangguan Qingyun to the Lingyun Sect and was also curious that a mere fifth-rank sect would dare to take him in,” The old man held his teacup and said in puzzlement.
It was the person who had fought with Jiang Yiming in the desert, Sima Zhen.
“However, the sect leader of Lingyun Sect is indeed skilled. His sect is clearly only a fifth-rank sect, but it has a sect protection array and a spirit gathering array. Their arrays are almost comparable to ours. I can’t see through the Lingyun Sect’s sect leader’s cultivation, but he had been able to find an
expert’s secret realm and absorb demonic energy. If I hadn’t got my hands on the demonic path treasure, I would have been defeated by him. I think that he probably has the strength of the Incarnation Realm,” Sima Zhen said as he held the Bone-devouring Sword in his hand.
Immediately, a chill was added to the hall.
“Moreover, for some unknown reason, the expert in the secret realm has become his servant. On the other hand, I do wonder how Shangguan Qingyun managed to get the attention of the Lingyun Sect’s sect leader. From what I’ve seen from the sect leader’s stance, he is willing to protect that cripple at any
cost. If we forcefully barge into his sect, I am afraid that we will not be able to gain any advantage.”
The hall was completely silent.
Even the usually arrogant Shangguan Li had sunk into deep thought.
No wonder all the killers that he had sent out had died at the sect leader’s hands.
It turned out that the other party was in the Incarnation Realm.
Those killers were probably just like ants in his eyes.
According to Sima Zhen, the other party’s sect protection array was extremely mystical. It was really not a wise move to enter the Lingyun Sect’s array and fight with them.
“Elder, you may return. Your primordial spirit must have been injured in this battle. I have already sent people to send various pills and herbs to your residence. Please rest well, Elder.”
“Then I will take my leave now.”
Watching the old man’s figure gradually moving further and further away, Shangguan Li could no longer control his emotions.
He landed a fist on the table, and the top-quality stone table was directly turned into dust.
“Bastard! Bastard! I should be the one inheriting the position of the family head! I can harm your father, and you are nothing more than an object in my hands!”
With another kick, even the main hall seemed to tremble!
“Lingyun Sect, oh, Lingyun Sect, you and I had originally no grudges. Since you want to seek death and block my path, then don’t blame me! I will definitely take Shangguan Qingyun away!”
Shangguan Li calmed down and sat back down on his chair.
A sinister smile appeared on his face.
In Lingyun Sect.
The old man was helping Jiang Yiming with cleansing his energy.
Seeing that his Master was quite satisfied, he took the opportunity to ask, “Master, allow me to ask one more thing. Is your eldest disciple surnamed Gu?”
“Hmm? My eldest disciple is indeed sumamed Gu. Why?” Although he sounded calm, when he heard the old man’s words, Jiang Yiming’s heart trembled.
Could it be that his eldest disciple was also from a prestigious family? Were there so many hidden talents in his small sect?
There didn’t seem to be a Gu Family among those top sects or families though?
“Twas merely asking casually. Master, do you really not know?”
“Don’t keep me in suspense. If you have something to say, say it.”
“Umm, I don’t have a clear memory of it. I only remember that many years ago, there was a family called the Gu Family. They were quite powerful and at their most prosperous time, they had the strength to become a first-rank force,” The old man recalled with some difficulty, “However, it seemed that
the Gu Family had many disputes with other Families back then. In the end, they were wiped out by others in a great battle. Only a small group of their people were able to escape. These people concealed their identities and changed their surname to another character. However, that was a later story, I’m
not sure of its truth either. Previously, I happened to meet a few members of the Gu Family due to some coincidences. The aura of your eldest disciple is actually quite similar to the aura of the Gu Family in my memories. Hence…”
Jiang Yiming’s entire body trembled, and the demonic energy that was being compressed and refined seemed to have signs of escaping.
His eldest disciple had yet to awaken his constitution. If he really was a descendant of the Gu Family, would he be able to awaken a constitution as well?
“Master, don’t be distracted! Guard your Dantian with your energy!” Seeing that his Master’s aura was somewhat unstable, the old man advised.
After finally refining this streak of demonic energy, Jiang Yiming hurriedly called Gu Lingfei over, “Gu Lingfei! Come over quickly!”
“Help my eldest disciple take a look?”
“Your order has been received by this humble servant.”
Gu Lingfei had a puzzled expression. However, when he thought about how his Master would definitely not harm him, he placed his wrist on the old man’s hand.
The old man closed his eyes and as he breathed, his expression became somewhat ugly.
“Strange, strange,” Opening his eyes, the old man muttered.
“What’s strange?” Jiang Yiming and Gu Lingfei were both a little anxious and hurriedly asked.
“The aura of the bloodline is clearly very similar, but there seems to be some sort of seal placed inside My Lord’s body.”
“A seal?”
“Yes, a seal. If it can be broken, My Lord should be able to awaken his constitution. But it’s strange, this seal is made using some kind of ancient method,” The old man sighed, “I’m currently not strong enough and am at my wit’s end against the seal.”
Jiang Yiming frowned. He had helped his eldest disciple circulate spiritual energy so many times, yet he had no inkling about the seal in his body?
“Master, please don’t belittle yourself. This seal is deeply buried. I only discovered it out of my experience and painstaking investigation. It has nothing to do with cultivation,” The old man guessed the doubts in Jiang Yiming’s heart and quickly said.
“Do you know about this?”
“Icame from a humble family and had nothing. I have never heard of any seal,” Gu Lingfei was telling the truth. When he was young, he only had some talent in cultivation.
He had never thought that there was a seal in his body.
“It’s alright, it’s not a bad thing. When I help you find a way to break it, your cultivation will probably improve a lot!” Jiang Yiming waved his hand, indicating to Gu Lingfei that he needn’t worry, and motioned for him to continue his cultivation.
Jiang Yiming then crossed his legs again and continued with the Energy-cleansing Technique.
“If the seal in his body can be removed, Master’s disciple might be able to obtain his constitution and have a bright future! It’s just that I’ve never seen such a strange seal before. It’s strange! So very strange!” The old man said embarrassedly, “However, Master’s other disciples are all top-notch geniuses.
As long as they focus on cultivating, they will definitely become important figures in the future!”
“Just help me cleanse my energy well.”
Jiang Yiming’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and he couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.
He quickly told the old man to shut up and not disturb his peace and quiet.
Right now, he had to hurry up and complete the mission issued by the system.
Once he obtained the sect’s secret realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about the combat strength of his sect.
He could then consider the matter of recruiting disciples and advancing the sect’s rank, which wouldn’t be too late either.
Jiang Yiming exhaled a turbid breath and a wisp of black gas emerged from his Yiming’s body.
With the help of the Supreme Celestial Demon Body and the old man, the day his spiritual energy would be fully cleansed was near..
