Chapter 469: Chapter 57 the Jiang family God Travels, Flesh and Blood Sacrifice

Knock, knock, knock!

Xie Yunnan’s heart was pounding fiercely, and she seemed to vaguely hear her great-grandmother’s voice.

She was just ordered to investigate the Jiang family. It just so happened that the younger generation of the Jiang family had an annoying person constantly sending her letters.

They had only met once at a minor meeting hosted by a core disciple of a Daoist Sect, yet the other party had persistently sent her letters for over a decade.

Initially, she replied out of politeness, but later she stopped responding.

Now that she needed to investigate the Jiang family, Xie Yunnan reached out to gather information.

But she was definitely not here to cause a rebellion!

Sitting in the main seat in front of her was Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, the current leading Venerable, Sovereign of the Human Race, and the sole direct disciple of Qingcang Immortal.

On the left was True Martial Demon Cleansing Venerate, the God Slayer of the Daoist Sect, whose fierce reputation was enough to terrify the world. Recently, he had gone to Buddha State and destroyed several major Buddhist Sects.

On the right should be Jade Buddha Heavenly Venerate, the leader of the Buddhist Sect’s Hinayana faction, rumored to be the reincarnation of the Buddha Ancestor.

Not long ago, a seemingly ordinary Buddha Meeting turned out to be the most mysterious one in millennia. No matter how outsiders inquired, all the great powers present at the time kept silent about it.

Xie Yunnan wasn’t present at that time; she could only rely on various rumors she gathered to know a little.

For instance, Yuqing Heavenly Venerate and Chi Venerable joined forces to ascend Sumeru Mountain and ultimately brought Jade Buddha Heavenly Venerate back.

But why were these great beings here?

"Oh right, the Jiang family matter was ordered by Chi Venerable.

Since the True Martial Palace hasn’t made an announcement, it must be a covert visit, not to be exposed."

Xie Yunnan’s thoughts raced, and she quickly turned to the people around her, commanding, "These are my elders. Leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Jiang widened his eyes but wasn’t foolish. He quickly changed his expression and laughed heartily, saying, "I have offended you just now. Please, forgive me, seniors. I will not disturb your meal any longer."

Who was Xie Yunnan?

The direct disciple of Sword Master, the top rank of the Tianxuan Conference, the number one of the younger generation.

So young yet the Inspector of the True Martial Palace, responsible for patrolling the world and enforcing Daoist laws. Even her own elder must treat her with respect.

And the elders of this immortal, how high must their cultivation be?

At least of True Monarch Rank or even Mahayana Realm.

As he spoke, he hurriedly turned to leave.

"Wait."

A voice came, and Young Master Jiang’s heart nearly stopped.

He had just insulted one of them; was he going to die here?

Gu Wen said, "You are a descendant of the Jiang family. I just have some questions for you."

As soon as these words fell, Xie Yunnan pulled him back, signaling the other idle youths to leave.

The crowd scattered immediately, wishing they had more legs to run faster.

These idle youths were unlearned, not foolish; their vision was much broader than ordinary folk. Knowing Xie Yunnan’s identity and the value of her elders’ status, they departed.

The door closed, and there were two more guests.

Young Master Jiang lowered his head, soaked in sweat, not daring to make any move.

"You, girl, are really like a brick; wherever needed, that’s where you’re moved."

Gu Wen smiled archly. Standing nearly two meters tall, Xie Yunnan, the young lady, scratched her head a bit embarrassedly.

"Contributing to the welfare of the people is my duty."

She had spent some time with Gu Wen, so she wasn’t that restrained.

Chi Yu Zi said, "Perhaps you’re eyeing the position of Senior Lady, joining True Martial Palace early to accumulate your resume for future promotions."

Xie Yunnan’s face stiffened.

Sword Sect had held a closed-door meeting once, where past Sword Masters, renowned Sword Dao Masters within the sect, and unheard-of recluses gathered.

She was also present, and she had the lowest cultivation and seniority among them. It was only because of her Innate Sword Bone that she was given such preferential treatment.

Many strong individuals of the Sword Sect discussed that future cultivation would no longer be about constant fighting and killing; Broken Sword Mountain would have to change to achieve better development in the new era.

True Martial Palace was the top priority for the Sword Sect, where it could train its disciples without affecting their Sword Dao cultivation and expand its power.

Thus, Xie Yunnan was arranged into True Martial Palace. She held more reverence than aspiration for the position of True Martial Demon Cleansing Venerate.

Chi Venerable was, aside from her master, the person she respected the most.

Xie Yunnan opened her mouth to explain, but before she could, Chi Yu Zi waved his hand, saying openly, "No need to be so tense; this is also arranged by your master and me."

Gu Wen curiously asked, "What arrangement?"

"Previously, when my longevity was near its end, that guy Xiao Yunyi came to me, saying he wanted the position of True Martial Venerate for his disciple."

Chi Yu Zi answered while serving Gu Wen a bowl of Nine Transition Golden Core stewed pig’s trotters.

"I didn’t think much and agreed since I was about to die anyway. Of course, it’s still valid; as long as you can have strength comparable to the Taoist Realm, I’ll give you the position."

Gu Wen understood well; it was like how elite families had a hold on power, top sects controlled the Venerable positions.

The odds of top sects producing strong individuals were a thousand times that of small sects.

Even those grassroots who encountered serendipity were unavoidably legacies of some major sect and likely to return to it in the future.

The Human Race governed the world with sects, respecting cultivators.

This was an unchangeable reality.

Xie Yunnan no longer hesitated, adjusting her posture and said, "I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Thud.

Young Master Jiang fainted.

Only one thought was left in his mind: it’s over.

He had just called True Martial Demon Cleansing Venerate a dwarf and even threatened him.
