Chapter 41: One Hundred Scouting Missions [Requesting Follow-Up Readings]
Chapter 41 – Hundred Scouting Missions [Requesting for Catch-up Readings
“Let’s go too.”
Seeing Shen Daoming leave, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but turn her head towards Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
Soon, the two of them headed in the direction of Thousand Willows Market.
When they neared the Thousand Willows Market, Jiang Chengxuan eventually couldn’t hold back and couldn’t help but look at Shen Ruyan and say:
“Elder Ruyan, can you tell me specifically about Old Ancestor Profound Dragon and Old Ancestor Illusory Dream, what kind of people are they?”
The Illusory Dream Old Ancestor that Jiang Chengxuan was referring to here was none other than Shen Mengxue.
No. Illusory Dream Fairy.
Shen Ruyan knew the reason why Jiang Chengxuan had asked this, and after hearing this, she first thought for a moment, and then this answered:
“Regarding the two Old Ancestors’ personalities, it’s not good for me as a junior to comment.
But as far as I know, they are both people who are very devoted to the clan.
I know that their greatest wish is to see our Shen Clan of Immortals, to be able to return to its heyday back then.
Unfortunately, the development of our Shen Clan of Immortals over these years ……”
Saying this, Shen Ruyan shook her head slightly before continuing:
“For Old Ancestor Yuan Long, actually I have nothing to say, but rather Old Ancestor Phantom Dream, I heard that in her early years, she practiced a technique of deducing heavenly chances, named Little Heavenly Evolutionary Technique.
With this method of deduction, Old Ancestor Illusory Dream once helped the Qianyang Sect to remove many of its great enemies, including a Jindan demonic cultivator.
Because of this, her position in the Qian Yang Sect was very special, and even the other two Jindan Taishang Elders were said to be very polite to her.
This can in no way be due to the fact that she is Bei Long Zhenzi’s Dao Couple.”
The Northern Dragon Realist that Shen Ruyan referred to here was precisely that Shen Mengxue’s Dao Couple, and one of the three major Jindan Taishang Elders of the Qianyang Sect.
His name was Zheng Beilong, and he was known as the North Dragon Realist.
“However, I’ve heard that every time Illusory Dream Ancestor she utilizes that Little Heavenly Evolutionary Technique, it drains quite a bit of her longevity.”
Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but have a look of worry appear on her face.
“It’s also because of this reason that she, who is only less than two hundred years old today, already has a head of gray hair.”
One must know that for the Violet Mansion Realm Ascendants, their lifespan could reach four hundred years.
If combined with some life-extending spirit items, even if they lived to be five hundred years old, it would not be too much of a problem.
However, Shen Mengxue, who was not even two hundred years old, already had a head full of gray hair, which was obviously the result of a serious depletion of her longevity essence.
This kind of situation, even those so-called life-extending spiritual substances, I’m afraid that they won’t have much effect on her.
“The reason why they treated you like that before.”
At this time, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but twist her head to look at Jiang Chengxuan, then slowly said:
“I’m afraid that it’s that Illusory Dream Elder Ancestor of mine, she saw something from you, including the care Elder Ancestor Profound Dragon gave you before, it should have come from the Illusory Dream Elder Ancestor’s her authorization as well.
You don’t need to worry about any of this, I can see that they are releasing their goodwill towards you, and in no way have the intention of harming you.”
While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at their destination this time, the Thousand Willows Market.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was not calm.
From Shen Ruyan’s words just now, that Illusory Dream Old Ancestor who had practiced the Lesser Heavenly Evolutionary Technique clearly saw something in himself.
That was why he was that special to himself.
What exactly did she see?
Would she discover the secret of the system in herself?
Just as this doubt flashed through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan dismissed this speculation in his heart.
If that Illusory Dream Old Ancestor, she really detected the secret on his body, then the attitude towards himself would never be like that, much less would he let himself leave the Shen Clan of Immortals again.
Although he didn’t want to speculate about the other party with that much malice, Jiang Chengxuan knew his situation.
He believed that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to be indifferent after learning about the true secret in his body.
Nowadays, it seemed that the reason why that Illusory Dream Old Ancestor had that special attitude towards himself should be because of some other reason.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but twist his head to look at Shen Ruyan beside him, just in time to meet her gaze as she looked over.
Shen Ruyan smiled faintly at him and changed the topic:
“Elder Jiang, following you and I here, how about one person is responsible for one direction, searching for those remaining devil cultivators?”
As he spoke, there were already dozens of recluse lights flying in the surrounding area.
When they got close, these people were all cultivators of the Shen Clan.
One of them, a middle-aged cultivator at the ninth level of qi refining, came forward and saluted, “Greetings to the two elders.”
Obviously, before this, these cultivators here had already been notified by the family side.
Shen Ruyan nodded at them and asked:
“How is the situation now? Have you searched for any traces of demonic cultivators?”
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head, his face a bit ugly and said:
“So far, we haven’t found any traces of demonic cultivators for the time being, it’s as if after that incident earlier, all those guys have evaporated.”
Shen Ruyan’s beautiful eyes instantly narrowed and faintly said:
“Not discovering it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
As long as they haven’t left this Pingchuan County, then there must be traces to be found.”
Saying this, Shen Ruyan turned her head to Jiang Chengxuan and said:
“Elder Jiang, you and I will each bring some people and search around here.
I just don’t believe that their gang of rats can keep hiding like that.”
Jiang Chengxuan naturally wouldn’t have any opinions on this, and nodded when he heard this.
Soon, he and Shen Ruyan each brought some people and began to search in this Thousand Willows Market.
It just so happened that the middle-aged cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining was assigned to his side.
Together with him, the number of people on Jiang Chengxuan’s side was almost twenty to thirty.
Through exchanges, Jiang Chengxuan knew that the middle-aged cultivator at the ninth level of Qi refining was named Tong Baiyuan, and was actually only a servant of a member of the Shen family.
Later on, he was tested for spiritual roots and passed the test of the Inquiring Heart Stage, which allowed him to be taught Immortal Laws.
This was something that Jiang Chengxuan had not expected.
In this regard, the Shen Clan of Immortals actually treated their own servants with this same attitude.
As long as you could pass the test of loyalty, then it wasn’t impossible to have a Shen Clan servant with a spiritual root embark on the path of cultivation.
It seemed that the Shen Clan of Immortals was able to obtain the allegiance of so many cultivators with different surnames, that was not without reason.
With these thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chengxuan then said to Tong Baiyuan and the others:
“Let’s continue to search separately, remember to work in groups of multiple people, once anything is discovered, do not act rashly, everything is based on your own safety and security.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Tong Baiyuan and the others immediately bowed and led the order.
Soon, twenty to thirty people immediately scattered.
On Jiang Chengxuan’s side, he was just like everyone else, constantly probing the surroundings with his divine sense.
But it was at this moment, within his mind, the system’s voice suddenly came.
[Ding! Achievement task released, requesting the host to complete one hundred probes of the enemy]
