Chapter 1115: Chapter 382: Fame Throughout the Universe

It was rare for Meng Shaojie to joke with the other: "If His Highness the Crown Prince has an order, this student will naturally comply. Brother Jingtong, please go and seek the decree first."

"Aunt..." Zhang Hui turned his head to look at Zhang Wantong: "As the saying goes, a phoenix fallen to the ground is not as good as a chicken!"

Zhang Wantong, with her back to them, was flipping through the rubbings of stone inscriptions, too lazy to turn around.

Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Wantong, then at Meng Shaojie, and sighed to himself.

Meng Shaojie: "Celestial Master Lei, has he returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

Zhang Hui: "Not yet. After returning from Cangzhou, the Celestial Master went to Jingxiang."

.........

The former site of the Jingxiang Fang Clan.

Xu Duan, Ji Chuan, and others from the Mount Shu Sect were stationed outside.

The task of cleansing the ancestral land of the Fang Clan and its many branches was mainly completed by the Divine Strategy Army under Grand General Shangguan Yunbo.

Although the people from the Mount Shu Sect came, they all stayed with Xu Duan, Ji Chuan, and others on the periphery, assisting the Tang Army in holding the line without directly engaging.

In the past, the relationship between the Mount Shu Sect and the Jingxiang Fang Clan was not harmonious.

The geographical proximity of both parties was too close.

In the early years when the Mount Shu Sect was isolated, they were blocked by the Jingxiang Fang Clan when they started to expand outward.

The two sides erupted in intense friction, which took place only about thirty or forty years ago.

However, later, due to changes in the overall situation of the Great Tang, the relationship between the two sides gradually eased.

During several previous incidents involving Mount Shu, experts from the Jingxiang Fang Clan participated and assisted.

No matter what the starting point of the other party was or what they sought, the result at the time was beneficial to Mount Shu to some extent.

Therefore, even though experts from the Mount Shu Sect came this time to support Shangguan Yunbo and other Tang military officers in holding the line, they had no intention of taking direct action unless there were major changes.

As a result, there were indeed no unexpected changes.

If the ancestral land of the Fang Clan was intact, with experts like Fang Huansheng and Fang Zhu present, and the presence of the senior experts who had been in long-term seclusion, even with Shangguan Yunbo wielding the Expelling Invaders Halberd, the Tang Army would find it difficult to breach the Fang Clan’s ancestral land.

However, before Shangguan Yunbo and his group arrived, the Fang Clan’s ancestral land had already suffered a significant blow.

In the end, not only was the ancestral land destroyed, but even experts like Fang Huansheng and Fang Zhu were severely wounded due to the attack.

When Shangguan Yunbo and the others arrived, there was nothing left but a defenseless group of old, weak, sick, and injured people.

The outcome was naturally obvious.

Xu Duan and the others simply stayed on the periphery.

"Granduncle, the Snowy Region Sky Eagle has retreated, and Sect Leader Brother is returning from Chuanxi with the North Abyss Divine Spear," Ji Chuan reported to Xu Duan.

Xu Duan nodded slightly and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and turned his head to look northeast.

The approaching presence did not hide its tracks.

Soon, a black thundercloud flickering with purple light appeared on the horizon, arriving in an instant.

"It’s Celestial Master Lei!" exclaimed Qin Baisheng, a Third Heaven Elder of the Mount Shu Sect.

As the thundercloud approached and descended, Xu Duan first made a Taoist salutation:

"Nine Heavens Essence, Nine Abyss Returning to Truth, Celestial Manifestation, Xuanxiao Puhua, Dipper Mother Merging with the Void, Fuxuan Tidao, Protector of the People, Three Caves and Three Heavens Dragon and Tiger Master."

Qin Baisheng and others from the Mount Shu Sect composed themselves, tidied their attire, and followed High Merit Elder Ji Chuan in saluting the black thundercloud flickering with purple light in the same manner as Xu Duan.

The purple light dissipated, the thundercloud receded.

A tall young Taoist, clad in a nine-colored cape, wearing a Primordial Crown on his head, with a White Jade Seal hanging at his waist, appeared in front of them, descending to the ground.

"Elder Xu, Brother Ji."

Lei Jun returned the salute with calm composure, just as always.

Xu Duan looked towards the distant Jingxiang Fang Clan ancestral land: "Is there any hindrance on this side of Jingxiang?"

Lei Jun: "The Great General Shangguan personally took action, so I don’t expect any hindrance. This trip, I came to investigate the matter of Great Unity."

He did not conceal anything and briefly explained the situation.

Xu Duan and Ji Chuan exchanged glances: "This does require attention."

After chatting with them for a few moments, Lei Jun took his leave and ventured into the ancestral land of the Jingxiang Fang Clan.

Shangguan Yunbo was already waiting for Lei Jun.

The purple thundercloud descending from the sky had been witnessed by those on this side as well.

The current Jingxiang Fang Clan ancestral land was also entering the final cleanup phase.

Some of the most critical figures had already been dealt with, and Shangguan Yunbo needed only to oversee the central command from here on.

With him was also Fang Yue.

When Lei Jun arrived, the two immediately stepped forward, one cupped his fists while the other bowed:

"Nine Heavens Essence, Nine Abyss Returning to Truth, Celestial Manifestation, Xuanxiao Puhua, Dipper Mother Merging with the Void, Fuxuan Tidao, Protector of the People, Heaven-connecting Primordial Guarding Law Master."

"Great General, Sacrificial Official Fang." After Lei Jun returned the salute, he explained the relevant situation: "Regarding other things, I will not take them. However, if there are any letters, allow me to verify them to find those related to Great Unity."

Shangguan Yunbo spoke with a solemn expression: "This is a major concern, thank you for your effort, Celestial Master."

Fang Yue: "Celestial Master, please follow me. I have collected and organized the correspondence, but I am not sure which ones you need. I hope this facilitates your search."

Lei Jun: "Thank you."

After Fang Yue led him to the location, he apologized and then departed.

The Jingxiang Fang Clan had many bloodline relatives.

Even the correspondence, when gathered together, was vast as a sea.

Fang Yue had done some preliminary sorting, which made Lei Jun’s search significantly easier.

However, he was not in a hurry and instead skimmed through a large number of letters as part of the accumulation process.

In his eyes, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript quietly flowed.

.........

One of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Great Unity.

In the past, a branch of the Jingxiang Fang Clan established itself in this place, developing and thriving until today, indeed becoming a major influence, deeply rooted and flourishing.

The Fang Clan of Great Unity, with its ancestral land located in a place named Qingliang Plains, is one of the most spiritually rich and abundant places in Great Unity, with its manor-like city sprawling over a vast area.
