Just as the various Old Ancestors of the Fan Family were discussing matters from the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, a Fan Family member suddenly rushed into the main hall.
That Disciple bowed deeply to Fan Wuji and respectfully said, “Clan Chief, a Disciple claiming to be from Taiwei Star Palace wishes to see you.”
“Taiwei Star Palace?”
Fan Wuji’s eyebrows slightly raised, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
The Old Ancestors present also looked at each other, a strange expression appearing in their eyes.
In their impression, Taiwei Star Palace was a Great Dao Lineage in the Central Province of the Ancient Immortal Domain, located in a remote area, and usually had no interaction with the Fan Family.
This Sect was situated in a secluded corner, always detached and rarely involved in power struggles, and would certainly not easily send people to the Eastern Barren.
They were completely unrelated.
“Did he state his purpose?” Fan Wuji’s tone was unhurried, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
The Disciple hesitated for a moment, as if he felt the content he was about to speak was too absurd, and his voice lowered, saying, “He said… he came to fulfill the marriage engagement with Young Miss, and wishes to meet Young Miss.”
“What!?”
After a brief silence, there was a burst of exclamations, startling all the Old Ancestors in the hall.
An Old Ancestor of the Fan Family, who was of extremely high seniority, frowned deeply upon hearing this.
He was Fan He, the Second Ancestor of the Fan Family.
He pondered for a moment and said, “I know about this matter, it’s just that the timing is not quite right… But a visitor is a guest, take him to the guest room and entertain him well.”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards him, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became solemn.
Fan He slowly nodded, sighed, and explained, “This matter is a long story, but the current situation is delicate. This person’s sudden appearance, I don’t know if it’s purely to fulfill the agreement, or if he has other motives.”
“I’ll go meet that young man first.”
Fan He nodded, his figure flickered, turning into a wisp of golden rainbow and flying out.
Only the Old Ancestors remained in the hall, conversing in low voices, their expressions solemn… In the Fan Family’s guest hall.
Incense smoke curled, and the tea aroma was faint.
Jiang Ye sat quietly in front of the couch, his fingertips turning a bamboo slip, his gaze fixed on it, yet his Divine Thought wandered for thousands of miles.
In his hand was the latest secret report sent by the Jiang Clan’s secret envoy, detailing the recent anomalies in the Ancient Immortal Domain and the secret schemes of the Myriad Heavenly Daotong.
Qing Xuan stood beside him, dressed in plain clothes, attentively pouring tea for Jiang Ye while softly reporting:
“Young Master, just half a month ago, when the Haotian Sword Sect from the Myriad Domains of the Heavens dispatched Cultivators to search the Ancient Immortal Domain, they unexpectedly discovered a hidden underground world located at the edge of the Ancient Immortal Domain’s jurisdiction…”
“According to their investigation, a Dragon Vein of extremely high quality was actually hidden there, and beneath that Dragon Vein, a trace of extremely pure Immortal Spirit Qi was also detected. That Qi must undoubtedly be innate immortal liquid…”
Hong Yan also added, “It is said that the underground world is filled with countless powerful and ancient Restriction formations, and logically, it should be extremely tightly sealed…”
“But even so, so much Immortal Spirit Qi can still overflow, which is enough to show that beneath that Dragon Vein, there must be a large amount of innate immortal liquid hidden, and its quantity is probably far beyond our imagination.”
He quietly put down the bamboo slip, his voice carrying a hint of playfulness: “Qing Xuan, has this news been leaked?”
Qing Xuan gently nodded and said, “Although the Haotian Sword Sect has kept a tight lid on it, many people saw this matter at the time, and coupled with the fact that many top-tier Daotong of the Heavens have spies infiltrating, including our Jiang Clan, this matter is now escalating…”
“Now, many Daotong are aware of this matter, and even several Supreme have personally visited the Ancient Immortal Domain to investigate openly and secretly.”
“Some high-level officials of top Daotong have even voiced calls…”
“The Ancient Immortal Court established the Hidden Killers Pavilion, stirring up conflicts between the Daotong of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, and therefore, the Ancient Immortal Court should be jointly suppressed…”
“This matter has even alarmed the Empress…”
Speaking of this, she took out another jade slip and handed it over: “This was personally written by the Empress. Please take a look, Young Master.”
Qing Xuan softly reported beside Jiang Ye, taking out the jade slip and handing it to Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye’s expression was truly a mix of crying and laughter.
He had initially slandered the Ancient Immortal Domain for having innate immortal liquid appear, thinking there would be no follow-up.
But he never expected…
You really have it!?
Damn it, those old dogs of the Ancient Immortal Court actually fooled him with Azure Radiance Divine Liquid back then.
This matter could not be let go.
Jiang Ye also harbored covetous thoughts and immediately said, “This matter is causing such a stir, I’m afraid the Ancient Immortal Domain will be devoured by wolves until not even a speck remains this time.”
Judging from the current attitude of the Various Great Dao Lineages, they will certainly unite to act against the Ancient Immortal Court; it’s only a matter of time.
Because what is still uncertain is…
The Ancient Immortal Court, holding these innate immortal liquid, must have corresponding arrangements. If they are pushed too hard, they might prefer to be shattered like jade rather than remain intact, and directly destroy it, which is also possible.
So, no large-scale actions have been taken yet.
However, they have already begun to plan and scheme, dispatching many powerhouses to the Ancient Immortal Domain to investigate this matter, eyeing it like a tiger.
Jiang Ye slowly opened the jade slip sent by his mother. With a slight activation, a Divine Thought appeared in his mind.
It contained only a brief but powerful sentence:
“My Jiang Clan wants ninety-nine percent of this innate immortal liquid!”
Brief and powerful.
As expected of his mother, overbearing and direct.
Jiang Ye was somewhat amused.
“Mother’s meaning is very clear: she wants me to figure out how to deal with this myself, preferably by acquiring it secretly…”
“This might be a bit unrealistic…”
“But if I can’t do it, she’s probably going to take action forcefully.”
Jiang Ye shook his head helplessly.
In these past days, he had also continuously received news from within the Clan. Many powerhouses from within the Clan were continuously rushing towards the Ancient Immortal Domain, ready to be dispatched by him at any time.
After all, innate immortal liquid was simply too important.
Even if it was just a single drop, if it fell on an ordinary spiritual plant, it could cultivate Immortal Rank herbs within a few days.
Not to mention, innate immortal liquid also possessed Heaven-Defying effects such as healing hidden ailments within a powerful Cultivator’s body and extending life… Its value was simply unimaginable.
Qing Xuan said from the side, “Young Master, many forces have already entered that underground world, and even Supreme powerhouses have investigated it. The Ancient Immortal Court did not dare to obstruct them, but no one has found the entrance yet…”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye pondered for a moment and said, “Qing Xuan, send people to closely monitor the movements in the underground world. Once there is any disturbance, notify me immediately.”
He could probably guess as well.
The Ancient Immortal Court’s emphasis on innate immortal liquid was absolutely extraordinary; they must have made preparations in advance for this matter.
In a short period, it was unlikely that anyone would achieve any Breakthrough progress.
Jiang Ye’s gaze slightly deepened.
Such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity that could cause countless forces to contend for it, if there was a Protagonist of Destiny… the plot would become very classic… perhaps he could be used as a treasure-hunting rat?
At this moment, Jiang Ye was increasingly eager to find this Ye Qingyun.
【Ding! Discovered Protagonist of Destiny… Ye Qingyun…】
【Sixty-eight years old, True King Realm Fifth Layer…】
…【Remaining Luck Value: 80000 / 80000】
“Oh? Big leek?”
Jiang Ye’s mouth curved slightly upwards, and he muttered to himself, “It’s really like someone sending a pillow when you’re sleepy, isn’t it?”
