Chapter 866: Chapter 764 Alliance

The heirs from the five oldest cultivation families in the world have emerged and are all aiming to make an example out of Ye Fan, almost all cultivators believe Ye Fan is doomed.

And because Ye Fan is in secluded cultivation and hasn’t responded, many cultivators are even more convinced of this point.

As Ye Fan is once again pushed to the center of turmoil, at the Jiang Family Ancestral Land, Jiang Ying has finished her secluded cultivation.

"Miss, congratulations on advancing your power further."

An old woman appeared immediately outside Jiang Ying’s secluded cultivation chamber.

She was Jiang Ying’s servant. By convention, every time Jiang Ying emerged from seclusion, she would report news about Ye Fan to her.

This time was no exception.

However—

She didn’t immediately mention Ye Fan but first congratulated Jiang Ying on coming out of seclusion.

Because, she could sense that Jiang Ying’s power improvement was not particularly significant, and she didn’t seem in a good mood.

In fact, it was true that Jiang Ying, after coming out of seclusion, looked grim-faced with furrowed brows as if someone had forcibly taken her chastity.

"Granny Wu, you are getting better at speaking!"

Unlike before, Granny Wu’s flattery fell flat, and Jiang Ying sulked before asking, "That wretched beast, any news on him lately?"

"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one would you like to hear first, Miss?" Granny Wu kept smiling, deliberately teasing.

"I’ll hear the bad news first, then the good news. I don’t want to get grumpy just after coming out of seclusion." Jiang Ying said.

"The bad news is, that little beast went to the Australia Continent to participate in a mutant beast hunt and by sheer luck, stumbled upon a Holy Land left by the Ancient Cultivation World, where he acquired some treasures and an inheritance left by an ancient strongman..."

"Alright, tell me the good news!"

Upon hearing Granny Wu’s words, Jiang Ying felt more depressed and directly interrupted, asking for the good news.

"The good news is, that little beast in Australia Continent killed many young geniuses from other alliances and was deemed a public enemy. Now, heirs from the five great ancient cultivation families have emerged, all voicing to take down that little beast!" Granny Wu said triumphantly.

"Heh, even if that little beast received inheritance and treasures left by an ancient strongman, how does it matter if heirs from the five great ancient cultivation families all want him dead?"

Upon hearing Granny Wu’s good news, Jiang Ying’s expression instantly shifted from the chill of winter to the warmth of spring, lighting up with a brilliant smile, "Poetic justice indeed!"

"Indeed, that little beast is unquestionably doomed this time!"

Granny Wu quickly agreed, then remembered something and reminded, "Oh right, Miss, the Ancestor asked you to see her after coming out of seclusion, she has something to discuss with you."

"Alright, you may leave now!"

Jiang Ying smiled and nodded, then freshened up before heading to the ancestral residence where Granny Jiang lived.

"Great-Grandmother, you were looking for me."

Entering the ancestral residence, Jiang Ying said cheerfully.

"Oh, Little Ying is so happy after coming out of seclusion, did you greatly advance your power?"

Granny Jiang asked with a smile, though knowing inside that Jiang Ying most likely learned the news from outside, specifically that Ye Fan had become a public enemy.

"Great-Grandmother, compared to advancing my power, hearing that wretched beast becoming a public enemy makes me even happier!" As expected, Jiang Ying excitedly revealed her reason.

"Sigh... you..."

Granny Jiang sighed, knowing that Ye Fan had become Jiang Ying’s heart demon—until Ye Fan dies, Jiang Ying’s heart demon won’t dissipate!

"By the way, Great-Grandmother, is there something you wanted to discuss with me?"

Jiang Ying seemed to know what Granny Jiang was about to say and quickly changed the subject.

"Heirs from other alliances and the five great ancient cultivation families have all emerged. Presumably, the Xu Family’s heir, Xu Wudao, is about to emerge as well. I plan to take you to visit the Xu Family." Granny Jiang said.

"Visit the Xu Family?" Jiang Ying looked surprised.

Although the Jiang Family hasn’t existed as long as the Xu Family, lacking the same depth, there was a time when they tried to rival the Xu Family, their relationship had not been particularly good.

Later, with the death of a Supreme Strongman from the Jiang Family, the family fell into decline, gradually withering, while the Xu Family continued to thrive.

Till today, the two families are on completely different levels!

Under such circumstances, hearing Granny Jiang mention visiting the Xu Family, how could Jiang Ying not be surprised?

"Yes, the Xu Family." Granny Jiang nodded.

"Why visit the Xu Family?" Jiang Ying asked.

"Although due to past incidents, we and the Xu Family are very distant, sometimes even opposing. But there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world." Granny Jiang said with some resignation.

"Great-Grandmother, you mean to ally with the Xu Family?" Jiang Ying’s heart stirred, guessing something but not quite daring to believe it.

"To put it nicely, it’s allying; in harsher terms, it’s seeking help; in even harsher terms, it’s seeking refuge."

Granny Jiang looked somewhat unhappy, "Now, as our Jiang Family is declining, we can’t compare to the Xu Family and have also offended Zhe Xuanji and Yan, being isolated by the entire Huaxia Cultivation World. Continuing this way is detrimental to the revival of our Jiang Family. If we could get support from the Xu Family, things would improve somewhat."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying didn’t feel embarrassed, but rather approved, "Great-Grandmother, even though this might make our Jiang Family somewhat disgraceful, I still believe your decision is correct."

"It’s good that you understand this."

Granny Jiang nodded with relief, then with some helplessness said, "Little Ying, to demonstrate our sincerity to the Xu Family, besides bringing them a precious Spiritual Medicine, I must also trouble you..."

"Trouble me in what way?" Jiang Ying asked, puzzled.

"I’ve discussed with your great-grandfather and plan to arrange an engagement between you and Xu Family’s heir, Xu Wudao," Granny Jiang revealed the mystery.

"Engagement?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying was initially stunned, but then she felt indifferent, and instead secretly delighted and excited, "Granny, I have no objections here, but will Xu Wudao agree?"

"Though you’re not as good as him, looking at the Hua Xia Cultivation World, only you can be a match for him. I suppose he won’t have any issue," Granny Jiang said.

"That’s true. Granny, when do we set off?"

Upon hearing Granny Jiang belittling her and praising Xu Wudao, Jiang Ying wasn’t angered, but instead was eager to go to the Xu Family.

"You, listen to me. It’s not wrong for a woman to rely on a strong man, but you should have some skills yourself to have status and identity in the man’s family. Remember my words."

Granny Jiang smiled bitterly. She and the Jiang Family Ancestor decided to marry Jiang Ying to Xu Wudao not only to change the unfavorable situation of Jiang Family being isolated in Hua Xia Cultivation World, but also to eliminate Jiang Ying’s heart demon.

...

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Void, Hua Xia’s First Divine Mountain, Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, Kunlun Hill, or Mount Yu.

Kunlun Mountain holds the prominent status of "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains" in Hua Xia’s cultural history. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "Ancestor of Dragon Veins" in Hua Xia.

The Xu Family Ancestral Land is located on Kunlun Mountain.

In the evening, Granny Jiang used Qi Control Flight, bringing Jiang Ying to the place where South Tibet and Qinghai meet in Kunlun Mountain.

As a strong person at the Peak of Gang Qi, Granny Jiang could clearly sense strong energy fluctuations here—caused by the operation of the Formation.

"Jiang Yurong of Jiang Family, bringing great-granddaughter Little Ying, here to visit!"

Jiang Yurong stepped on Gang Qi, holding Jiang Ying, floating in the air, and shouted.

Whoosh——

With Jiang Yurong’s voice, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around the valley below became chaotic, white mist dispersed, and a green stone path appeared in Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying’s sight.

"Welcome to Xu Family, the Family Head invites you!"

Soon, an elderly man in a grey robe appeared at the entrance of the green stone path, looking up at Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying, and bowed to Jiang Yurong.

Jiang Yurong nodded slightly as a response, then thought for a moment and did not directly fly to the Xu Family Ancestral Land, but gracefully landed with Jiang Ying, intending to enter via the green stone path.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in the grey-robed elder’s eyes, yet he remained calm and led the way silently.

At the same time, in the Xu Family Ancestral Land, the current Xu Family Head, Xu Tianqi, was conversing with the recently emerged Xu Wudao. Upon hearing Jiang Yurong’s visit request, he had the entrance’s Enchanting Soul Array removed while carefully sensing Jiang Yurong’s aura.

At this moment, sensing that Jiang Yurong was not hastening towards them, but moving slowly, he understood that Jiang Yurong was following the green stone path here. His pupils slightly enlarged, and he contemplated with a thoughtful expression and said, "Granny Jiang is lowering her stance so much, truly interesting."

"The past is not as it is now, what’s the Jiang Family now," Xu Wudao remarked dismissively.

Xu Tianqi chuckled, saying nothing further, waiting with Xu Wudao for Jiang Yurong’s visit.

A moment later, the grey-robed elder brought Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying to the Xu Family Ancestral Land, stopping at the entrance of the ancestral house, and requested, "Family Head, the guests have been brought."

"You may dismiss."

Xu Tianqi spoke as he stepped out of the ancestral house with Xu Wudao, scanning Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying, he said, "Jiang Yurong, seventy years have passed since our last meeting, I hope you’ve been well!"

"Back then, Brother Xu’s talent dominated the generation, now your achievements are as remarkable, truly enviable," Jiang Yurong said politely, then her eyes caught Xu Wudao’s gaze on Jiang Ying, examining her with great interest.

Realizing this, she sighed with relief inwardly and smiled, "Brother Xu, the person beside you must be Little Wudao, right?"

"Wudao, greet Master Jiang," Xu Tianqi indirectly responded.

"Hello, Granny Jiang."

Xu Wudao perfunctorily bowed, then looked at Jiang Ying again and asked, "Is she your great-granddaughter?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Yurong nodded, then told Jiang Ying, "Little Ying, aren’t you going to greet Master Xu and your Brother Wudao?"

Brother Wudao?

Hearing these four words, Xu Tianqi’s heart was moved, with some thoughts.

Meanwhile, Xu Wudao wore a self-assumed charming smile.

"Master Xu, Brother Wudao!" Jiang Ying showed a bashful expression as she obediently bowed and greeted.

"Little Ying, are you planning to participate in the Hidden God List competition?"

Facing the term "Brother Wudao," Xu Wudao showed an expression of pleasure, not waiting for Xu Tianqi and Jiang Yurong to say more, he asked Jiang Ying first.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying originally intended to nod in response, but suddenly felt a spark in her heart, deliberately showing a pitiful look, "Little Ying very much wants to participate in the Hidden God List competition, to witness Brother Wudao’s elegance, but doesn’t dare go."

"Oh? Why?" Xu Wudao asked.

"Little Ying is afraid of being killed by enemies..." Jiang Ying weakly replied.

"Little Ying, with your granny protecting you, who dares to kill you?" Xu Tianqi stared directly at Jiang Ying, as he sensed Jiang Ying’s little schemes.

"Master Xu, it’s Hua Xia Evil Emperor’s disciple, Ye Fan," Jiang Ying said somewhat guiltily, lowering her head.

"Little Ying sister, rest assured, with me here, let alone Hua Xia Evil Emperor’s disciple who acts like a ’monkey declaring itself king in the absence of a Tiger’ in the mountains, even the other five ancient cultivation families’ successors absolutely dare not touch a single hair of yours!"

This time, without waiting for Xu Tianqi to speak, Xu Wudao spoke up first, his tone confident and domineering!
