“Let’s go too.”
After Shen Daoming left, Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
Soon, the two of them headed in the direction of Thousand Willow Market.
As they approached the Thousand Willow Market, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but look at Shen Ruyan.
“Elder Ruyan, can you tell me in detail what kind of people Ancestor Yuanlong and Ancestor Mengxue are?”
Shen Ruyan knew why Jiang Chengxuan asked this. She thought for a moment before answering,
…..
“As a junior, 1 can’t comment on the two ancestors’ character.
However, as far as 1 know, they care deeply about the family.
1 know that their greatest wish is to see the Shen Immortal family return to its former glory.
Unfortunately, the development of the Shen Immortal family over the years…”
At this point, Shen Ruyan shook her head with a sigh and continued,
“Actually, 1 don’t have much to say about Ancestor Yuanlong. On the other hand, 1 heard that Ancestor Mengxue cultivated a divination technique in her early years. It’s called the Heavenly Secret Calculation Technique.
With this calculation method, Ancestor Mengxue has helped the Ganyang Sect eliminate many great enemies, including a Golden Core demonic cultivator.
It’s also because of this that her status in the Ganyang Sect is very special. Even the other two Golden Core Supreme Elders are said to be very respectful to her.
This is definitely not only because she is the Dao Companion of Immortal Pelong.”
The Immortal Pelong Shen Ruyan was referring to was Shen Mengxue’s Dao companion and one of the three Golden Core Supreme Elders of the Ganyang Sect.
His name was Zheng Pelong, and he was known as Immortal Pelong.
“However, I heard that every time Ancestor Mengxue uses that calculation technique, it will consume a lot of her lifespan.”
Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look worried.
“It’s also because of this that she, who is less than 200 years old, already has a head full of white hair.”
One had to know that the lifespan of Violet Palace Realm cultivators could reach 400 years.
With some life-extending spiritual items, it would not be a problem for them to live to 500 years old.
However, Shen Mengxue was not even 200 years old, but she already had a head full of white hair. This was obviously because her lifespan had been severely depleted.
In such a situation, even those life-prolonging spiritual items would probably not be of much help to her.
“The reason why they treated you like that.”
At this moment, Shen Ruyan looked deeply into Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes and say slowly,
“I’m afraid Ancestor Mengxue has seen something on you. Ancestor Yuanlong was probably asked to take care of you by Ancestor Mengxue.
You don’t have to worry too much. I can tell that they’re expressing goodwill to you and have no intention of harming you.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at their destination, Thousand Willow Market.
However, Jiang Chengxuan had a hard time calming himself down.
From Shen Ruyan’s words just now, it was obvious that Ancestor Mengxue, who cultivated Heavenly Secret Calculation Technique, saw something on him.
That was why she treated him differently.
What exactly had she seen?
Did she discover that he had the help of a cheat system?
As soon as this possibility appeared, Jiang Chengxuan denied it.
If Ancestor Mengxue really discovered this secret, her attitude towards him would definitely not be so nice. She would not let him leave the Shen Immortal family so easily.
Although he did not want to think badly of people, Jiang Chengxuan knew how greedy people could be.
He believed that no one could resist the temptation to snatch away the system from him.
From the looks of it, there should be some other reason why Ancestor Mengxue had such a special attitude towards him.
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan turned to look at Shen Ruyan beside him and made eye contact.
Shen Ruyan smiled at him and changed the topic.
“Elder Jiang, how about you and I split up here to search for the remaining demonic cultivators and gather later?”
As she spoke, dozens of streaks of light flew over.
When they approached, it turned out that these people were all cultivators of the Shen Immortal family.
A middle-aged cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm stepped forward and bowed. “Greetings, Elders.”
Clearly, before this, these cultivators had already been informed by the family of their arrival.
Shen Ruyan nodded at them and asked,
“How’s the situation now? Did you find any traces of demonic cultivators?”
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head and said with a troubled expression,
“So far, we haven’t found any demonic cultivators. It’s as if those people have all disappeared after that incident.”
Shen Ruyan narrowed her beautiful eyes and said flatly,
“Just because you can’t find them doesn’t mean that they are gone.
As long as they are still in Flat Land County, they will leave traces.”
With that, she turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Elder Jiang, let’s each bring some people to search the surroundings.
I don’t believe that those rats can keep hiding like that.”
Jiang Chengxuan had no objections to this idea. He immediately nodded.
Soon, he and Shen Ruyan each brought some people and began to search the Thousand Willow Market.
Coincidentally, the middle-aged cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm was assigned to his team
Including him, there were about twenty to thirty people in Jiang Chengxuan’s team.
After getting to know each other briefly, Jiang Chengxuan learned that this middle-aged cultivator was called Tong Baiyuan. He was actually originally a servant of the Shen family.
Later on, his Spiritual Root was tested and he passed the test on the Conscience Platform. Only then was he taught the Immortal Technique.
This was something Jiang Chengxuan did not expect.
As long as you could pass the test, it was not impossible to be a cultivator of the Shen Immortal family even if you were just a servant.
It now made sense why the Shen Immortal family could obtain so many loyal cultivators.
Pulling back his wandering mind, Jiang Chengxuan said to Tong Baiyuan and the others,
“Everyone, continue searching separately. Remember to split into groups. Once you find anything, don’t act rashly. Your safety is the most important.”
Receiving the order, Tong Baiyuan and the others immediately bowed and nodded.
Soon, dozens of people dispersed.
On Jiang Chengxuan’s side, like everyone else, he kept using his divine sense to investigate his surroundings.
However, at this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! An achievement mission has been issued. Host, please complete a hundred investigations of the enemy.] [Current Progress: 1%]
