Chapter 240 Jiang Wei breaks through and heads to Baichuan City
at the same time.
Cen Cheng, cloaked in black, ran for nearly ten miles in one go, only stopping after he was completely away from Taiping Town.
"Damn it! Damn it! How could the Jiang family be hiding such a terrifying guy! Luckily I escaped fast enough, otherwise my fate would definitely not have been any better than Ji Feng and the others!"
Recalling the look that mysterious, powerful man in a blue robe gave him in the forest, Cen Cheng still felt lingering fear.
"We can't go back to Taiping Town anytime soon!"
Cen Cheng looked southeast. "Judging by the dates, it seems that the second young master of the Zhuge family is about to have a happy occasion. Perhaps we can go and join in the fun."
After deciding on his path, Cen Cheng immediately set off without delay, fearing that if he was even a little late, the mysterious expert would take notice of him.
……
When Jiang Yuchuan returned to Taiping Town, the sun was already setting.
Upon returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Yuchuan immediately summoned Jiang Kai via telepathy.
Jiang Kai, who was sitting in the main hall waiting for news from Jiang Yuchuan, immediately got up after hearing Jiang Yuchuan's summons. Without daring to delay for a moment, he gave a few instructions to his servants and then went straight to Jiang Yuchuan's residence.
At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. When Jiang Kai arrived, he immediately saw six gourds and a square wooden box on the stone table in front of Jiang Yuchuan.
"Greetings, Senior Jiang. May I ask why you summoned me here?"
Jiang Kai walked to the pavilion, bowed, and clasped his hands in greeting.
Although he was very curious about how the people from Jianmen Palace were doing, he didn't want to ask them directly.
"Come in and sit down."
Jiang Yuchuan looked at Jiang Kai as he walked into the pavilion and said, "The matter of Jianmen Palace has been completely settled. From now on, Jianmen Palace will no longer make things difficult for the Jiang family."
"Thank you, senior!"
Hearing this, Jiang Kai finally felt completely relieved.
Jiang Yuchuan's gaze fell on the stone table, and he said to Jiang Kai, "These six gourds contain Rejuvenating Dew Pills. The ones with red lids are twice as effective as those with blue lids. You can sell these pills to obtain more cultivation resources and improve the strength of your clansmen as soon as possible."
"The wooden box contains two types of talismans: one is the Swiftness Talisman, which can increase the user's speed; the other is the Crimson Flame Talisman, which, once activated, can unleash flames to fight enemies. There are one hundred of each type of talisman, and how to use them is entirely up to you."
At this point, Jiang Yuchuan took out a round stone plate about five inches in diameter and ten spirit stones from his pocket.
"This array plate contains a protective array, which, once activated, is strong enough to withstand the full force of a Mountain-Shaking Realm warrior."
Jiang Yuchuan then told Jiang Kai how to activate the array plate, and the ten spirit stones were specifically used to maintain the operation of the array plate.
Jiang Kai was so bombarded by Jiang Yuchuan's series of treasures that his mind went completely blank.
While Jiang Kai was slowly digesting this information, Jiang Yuchuan continued:
"I will be leaving for a while soon, and my return date is uncertain. After I leave, I want your Jiang family to send some people to Baichuan City! Taiping Town is ultimately too small and has limited resources, making it difficult for the Jiang family to develop and grow rapidly."
"You don't need to worry about the safety of the Jiang family in Baichuan City. Someone will naturally come to their aid. With their help, no force in Baichuan City will dare to find out about the Jiang family. You just need to develop peacefully within the city."
"..."
This was another message packed with information, leaving Jiang Kai momentarily speechless.
After a long pause, Jiang Kai took a deep breath, and all his unspoken words were finally condensed into four words—
"Junior understands!"
After parting ways with Jiang Yuchuan, Jiang Kai immediately sent people to summon Jiang Zhenbang and other core members of the Jiang family.
After hearing Jiang Kai relay Jiang Yuchuan's instructions, everyone in the Jiang family was extremely excited.
What kind of place is Shirakawa City? Even among the twenty-six cities of Taiyu Prefecture, it would rank among the top fifteen!
If the Jiang family can gain a foothold in Baichuan City, both their strength and status will improve rapidly in a short period of time.
Although Jiang Zhen, as the head of the family, was very excited, he was also somewhat worried when he thought that Baichuan City was under the jurisdiction of Jianmen Palace.
"Ancestor, Baichuan City is basically dominated by the Sword Gate Palace. If our Jiang family really moves into the city, will the Sword Gate Palace secretly suppress us?"
Jiang Zhenbang wasn't doubting Jiang Yuchuan's words; he was just worried that if Jianmen Palace found out that Jiang Yuchuan had gone out on business and left the Jiang family, they would have other ideas.
After all, all the honors the Jiang family has achieved so far are thanks to Jiang Yuchuan. It can be said that once Jiang Yuchuan leaves, the Jiang family will be exposed for what it truly is.
After hearing Jiang Zhenbang's words, Jiang Kai replied, "There is no need to worry about this. Since Senior Jiang said that there are experts in Baichuan City who will meet us and help us, and clear away all obstacles, then Jianmen Palace will naturally not pose any threat."
"The ancestor is right!"
Jiang Fengqing smiled and echoed, "Senior Jiang is incredibly powerful and has connections everywhere. If we do as he says, there won't be any problems!"
Jiang Zhenbang nodded, then turned to Jiang Kai and asked, "So, for this important task of stationing troops in Baichuan City, who does the Ancestor intend to send?"
He definitely can't do it.
As the current head of the Jiang family, he must remain in charge of the clan.
Jiang Kai turned his gaze to Jiang Fengqing and Jiang Chengxuan, "Fengqing, Xuan'er, the team that our Jiang family is sending into Baichuan City for the first time will be led by you two!"
Seeing the two of them initially delighted but then showing signs of concern, Jiang Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, although you two will be leading the team this time, I will have Xiao Wei accompany you secretly."
The Xiao Wei that Jiang Kai mentioned is Jiang Wei, the aunt of Jiang Zhenbang and Jiang Fengqing.
Upon hearing that Jiang Wei would also be going to Baichuan City, not only Jiang Fengqing and Jiang Chengxuan, but even Jiang Zhenbang showed a relieved expression.
"Don't worry, Ancestor, we will definitely live up to your and Senior Jiang's expectations!"
Jiang Fengqing and Jiang Chengxuan exchanged a glance and made a promise to Jiang Kai in unison.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhenbang realized something, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked Jiang Kai with considerable excitement, "Isn't Auntie in seclusion breaking through to a higher level? The Ancestor asked Auntie to go to Baichuan City with him, could it be—"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent and turned their gazes to Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai looked at everyone, nodded and smiled, "That's right. Xiao Wei will break through soon. At that time, our Jiang family will have another True Embryo Realm expert!"
"Great!"
"If we could have two True Embryo Realm experts in charge, our Jiang family's foundation would be greatly enhanced, making us no less formidable than other Bronze Realm forces!"
The series of good news filled the lobby with a joyful atmosphere.
The reason why Jiang Wei, who was in the late stage of the Returning Heaven Realm, was able to break through to the True Embryo Realm in such a short time was not only due to the crucial role played by the pills bestowed by Jiang Yuchuan, but also because of Jiang Wei's own talent and comprehension.
For the next two weeks, the Jiang family was busy expanding their territory, training their clansmen, and preparing for their journey to Baichuan City.
After some discussion, Jiang Kai, Jiang Zhenbang, and Jiang Fengqing unanimously decided to take out a portion of the pills from the six gourds and the box of spirit talismans bestowed by Jiang Yuchuan and sell them in Baichuan City in order to open up the market.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuchuan had already left the Jiang family and gone to a place he had carefully chosen to prepare for seclusion and break through his cultivation level.
Only a few people in the Jiang family knew about Jiang Yuchuan's departure, and Jiang Kai did not announce it to the outside world.
Five more days passed. Jiang Kai, who was enjoying tea in the tea room, suddenly sensed a fluctuation of energy coming from the direction of the training room. He was overjoyed and immediately got up, walked out of the tea room, and used his lightness skill to fly towards the training room.
When Jiang Kai arrived, the aura was rising steadily and soon reached a critical point.
With a deafening roar, this aura finally broke through the shackles of the Returning Heaven Realm!
The door to the training room opened with a click, and Jiang Wei's figure appeared in the blink of an eye, standing in front of Jiang Kai.
"Ancestor!"
Jiang Wei greeted Jiang Kai excitedly.
Jiang Kai nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Very good! Your breakthrough this time has done our Jiang family a great favor!"
Then, he told Jiang Wei about some things that had happened a few days ago.
After listening, Jiang Wei replied earnestly, "Don't worry, Ancestor, I know what to do!"
