Chapter 336 Remnant Soul, Possession
What are you doing?
Seeing his two foolish sons clinging to the door frame and refusing to leave, Jiang Yuwei looked on with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Liubin said excitedly, "Dad, my sister says I have a talent for drawing talismans and can use them to enter the Dao. I want to cultivate immortality with my sister!"
Jiang Yuwei: "?"
If he remembered correctly, his family was a martial arts clan.
But cultivating immortality...
He's also a little tempted, what should he do?
If he weren't always so composed, he probably would have done something irrational by now.
"You go back first, I have something to say to Jin'er."
Jiang Liubin didn't want to leave, but he was always afraid of his father, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Jiang Liushuang didn't react as strongly as her foolish younger brother, after all... he hadn't been able to detect any talent for drawing talismans.
After all the bystanders had left, Jiang Yuwei entered the room and found it packed with people.
Oh, how could he forget? His second brother had three children, making a total of five people in the family, including himself and his wife.
Everyone was staring at him right now.
Jiang Yuwei paused for a moment before saying, "Second brother, Jin'er, come here for a moment."
Yu Zhiyi's eyes flickered slightly. Was there a result?
Xiao Qingxuan knew they had serious business to discuss, so she didn't let the father and daughter leave, but instead took her two sons with her.
Once only three people remained in the room, Jiang Yuwei revealed his findings and investigation results.
"The major forces in the martial arts world have been relatively calm these days. Although there have been occasional injuries and even deaths, such things are unavoidable in the martial arts world."
"Only Juxianzhuang."
His expression grew even more serious: "The people I sent to Juxianzhuang haven't sent back a single message."
"Moreover, Juxian Manor sent someone today to say that their young master is unable to attend the Earth Ranking Conference due to some reason."
The visitor didn't explain the reason for this "cause," so he naturally didn't press for details.
In fact, it's not uncommon for a certain force to suddenly be unable to participate in a grand event; after all, everyone has unexpected events.
If Jiang Yuwei hadn't known beforehand that the transfer was real, he wouldn't have suspected anything.
But now.
He found Juxianzhuang suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
Most importantly, after careful recollection, he discovered that Juxianzhuang was just a small force a few years ago. The Juxianzhuang master's martial arts skills were quite good, but he didn't have any good generals under his command. His parents, brothers, and even his nephews and nieces didn't have any particularly high talents.
However, starting a few years ago, the manor lord suddenly increased his internal strength and became one of the top fifty experts on the Heavenly Ranking.
After that, more and more people followed him, and Juxian Manor quickly became a well-known force in the martial arts world within a few years, occasionally even surpassing Tianyu Manor.
Most importantly.
The time when Ji Guangdai, the master of Juxian Manor, rose to fame coincided with the time when the Martial Alliance began its decline.
Moreover, it all started with him, the leader of the alliance.
That year, he had planned to go into seclusion to break through to the seventh level of the Jiang Clan's Original Heart Sutra, and he had made thorough preparations with a success rate as high as 90%.
Although it's not 100%, such a high success rate actually means the failure rate isn't very high either.
What can be done?
He failed so miserably.
Afterwards, he repeatedly reviewed the experience but couldn't find the reason.
After that, the Martial Arts Alliance was constantly embroiled in both major and minor incidents.
Either he gets injured, or his second brother suffers all sorts of misfortunes.
Even when capturing some not-so-powerful scoundrels in the martial arts world, things often go wrong.
Although most of the time things are good.
Can.
Those mishaps are really suspicious.
Jiang Yuwei suppressed his anger and said, "Moreover, Ruolan just gave me a talisman."
He took out the spatial talisman that Chen Ruolan had given him.
Jiang Yuchuan didn't react much to the matter at Juxianzhuang, since Yu Zhiyi had already revealed the information beforehand, and he knew from the beginning that Ji Guangdai was highly suspicious.
He hadn't expected Chen Ruolan to be able to produce a talisman.
To be precise, the meaning behind it was something he hadn't expected.
If the spatial talisman that Chen Ruolan took out is really useful, then it means that she must know a very powerful master.
Jiang Yuchuan quickly processed the events of the past few years in his mind, then frowned and asked, "Big brother, what do you plan to do?"
Jiang Yuwei still harbored a sliver of hope that they had simply guessed wrong.
"Why don't we go ask? What if it's a misunderstanding?"
Even if the other party really knows a metaphysics master, it doesn't necessarily mean that they were the ones who did it, right?
Yu Zhiyi suddenly asked an unrelated question: "Uncle, can I take a look at that talisman?"
Jiang Yuwei didn't think much of it and handed the talisman to her.
Yu Zhiyi examined it for a while, then smiled: "Uncle, you haven't contracted this talisman yet, have you?"
Unlike protective talismans and lightning-controlling talismans, spatial talismans require blood as a medium to establish a spiritual connection between the contracted owner and the space within the talisman. Only then can ordinary people freely access and store things.
For those who cultivate themselves, blood can be used for many things.
Jiang Yuwei immediately sensed something was off about those words, and instead of answering, he asked, "Is there something wrong with this talisman?"
Yu Zhiyi didn't mind and explained, "This talisman is indeed a space talisman. It contains one square meter of space and can be used normally after the contract is signed."
Jiang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could completely relax, Yu Zhiyi said again, "However, a wisp of remnant soul is attached to the talisman. Once Uncle drips his blood onto it, that wisp of remnant soul will bind to Uncle."
"Although it is a remnant soul, its soul power is not weak. If it binds to it, there is a very high chance that my uncle's soul will be devoured."
"In other words, once bound, it won't be long before my uncle's body becomes that remnant soul."
"And your soul will most likely become the nourishment for its spiritual cultivation."
Jiang Yuwei: "!!"
He was so shocked he couldn't speak.
Jiang Yuchuan was a bit stronger than him and quickly asked, "Is it okay if we don't bind it?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "The space talisman is only the lowest grade of talisman. The space inside is actually not stable and can be easily destroyed from the inside."
"That remnant soul must be the lingering spirit of some powerful and ferocious creature. Even if it's just a trace, it's not something that a spatial talisman of this level can imprison."
“Even if Uncle doesn’t make a contract, it will still tear through the spatial talisman and escape once it wakes up.”
"At that time, whether it is possessing my uncle's body or finding someone else to possess, it will cause incalculable consequences."
She sighed: "And I estimate that it will most likely choose my uncle. After all, my uncle is in his prime, highly skilled in martial arts, and is the leader of the martial arts alliance. There is no more suitable person to possess than you."
Jiang Yuwei shivered.
He clung to a sliver of hope: "Could it be...could you have seen wrong?"
As someone who never believed in ghosts, even though his worldview was constantly being challenged, he still found it hard to bear.
