Chapter 6 I am Jiang Renhuang's brother
The old man kneeling in the Jiang family ancestral hall is the oldest elder of the Jiang family and also the head of the Jiang family.
Seeing the old man in hemp robe coming, Jiang clan leader stood up with a trembling cane, performed the junior salute, and showed a happy expression: "Old ancestor came out of retreat two days earlier than planned. Has he broken through the peak of Yuanying and entered the Shenhua stage?"
The old man in the hemp robe shook his head and said regretfully, "It is not easy to enter the God Transformation Realm. It's a pity for those dozen babies. The blood sacrifice didn't help my cultivation much. It seems that if I want to break through the God Transformation Realm, I can't just rely on blood sacrifice of babies. I have to find other methods."
Clan leader Jiang showed a flash of regret, and said, "Just now, a worshiper passed on a message saying that the parents of the lost child spread the news everywhere in Qingcheng, and even made a scene in front of the city lord's mansion. I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress it this time. It would be better if the ancestor tried another method. We have stolen too many babies over the years, and some people have already suspected us."
"who?"
"He is a Jindan cultivator named Yuan Wuxing. He has been trying to sneak in during our ancestor worship in recent years."
The old man in the hemp robe sneered and said indifferently: "It seems that they found that the frequency of ancestor worship and the frequency of losing children are similar. They captured a casual cultivator and used him as a blood sacrifice."
"Oh, right? Since those stupid shrews who lost their children have been causing trouble, why not catch them and perform a blood sacrifice together so that they can be reunited with their children."
"yes."
"How touching! Why don't you go down there and reunite with your parents?"
"Who?" The old man in the linen robe turned around and glared to see who had spoken rudely. At the same time, his body quickly retreated. He did not sense anyone coming.
The one who can hide from his perception is either a cultivator who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is good at concealment spells, or a Divine Transformation cultivator.
He cast several spells in succession, but they were all dispersed by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't say anything and slapped the old man in the linen robe directly onto the table where the tablets were placed. The tablets fell to the ground and half of the old man's teeth were broken.
"you!"
The old man in the linen robe was greatly surprised. He could feel that Jiang Li was at the same peak of the Nascent Soul stage as himself, but the other party's movements were so fast that he could not react.
Jiang Li has experienced so many life-and-death battles in his life that he himself cannot even count them. His combat experience is so rich that, let alone suppressing his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, even if he suppresses it to the Golden Core stage, he can still easily defeat the old man in the hemp robe.
Jiang Li still had no expression on his face and did not say a word. He fought in silence, pressing the old man in the linen robe on the table and punching him one after another, each punch heavier than the last. He even heard the system prompt sound during this process.
[Congratulations to the host for defeating Jiang Yixing, and completing the novice mission]
Jiang Li didn't feel any joy when he heard the system prompt, and he still beat Jiang Yixing with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.
He was afraid that he would use stronger force to directly kill Jiang Yixing.
The moment Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to scan the space node, he recognized the old man in the hemp robe as Jiang Yixing.
But his appearance changed, and Jiang Yixing did not recognize him as Jiang Li.
"Do you know... who I am...? I am Jiang Renhuang... Jiang Li's... brother..."
Jiang Yixing spoke intermittently, and because half of his teeth had fallen out, air was leaking from his mouth.
"Yeah!"
"Jiang Renhuang's brother!"
“What a majestic presence!”
"Emperor of Man is not as majestic as you!"
"Set up a tablet for yourself!"
"You know you deserve to die, right?"
"Or should we pretend to be dead to others?"
Jiang Li was filled with great anger. Jiang Yixing used his name to do evil things and killed countless children. This made him feel that he was also responsible for the deaths of these children.
He punched Jiang Yixing every time he said a word, and he kept punching him until Jiang Yixing was bleeding from all seven orifices and lost consciousness.
Jiang Li picked up the tablet with Jiang Yixing's name on it and snorted coldly.
"Use the power of faith in ancestor worship to dissipate the resentment of the baby in your body. How clever."
Jiang Li dragged Jiang Yixing's ankle and walked out. When Jiang Yixing went out, he knocked his head hard against the door frame, making a banging sound. The Jiang family had heard the noise in the ancestral hall a long time ago. When they saw Jiang Li appear, they all rushed to kill the thief.
Except for a few people, the Jiang family had long thought that Jiang Yixing was dead and did not recognize Jiang Yixing. Therefore, they did not avoid Jiang Yixing when attacking Jiang Li. Several attacks fell on him, but compared with Jiang Li's fists, these attacks were not painful and Jiang Yixing could not die.
Jiang Li used his free hand to block all the attacks and knocked down the person who attacked him easily.
"Senior, what are you doing..." Yuan Wuxing was following behind and was shocked by Jiang Li's actions. He dared not even think about overthrowing the Jiang family and capturing the culprit.

"Of course we have to make a big deal out of this." Jiang Li said as a matter of course.
"Make a big fuss?" Yuan Wuxing didn't understand what Jiang Li was going to do. He just felt that this Taoist master had profound magical powers and his actions were unpredictable.
"Otherwise, how can we tell how many people dare to protect the Jiang family? Are they the lord of a city, the lord of a prefecture, or someone higher up... I want to see how big a fish can be caught this time." Jiang Li smiled coldly.
It's good that Emperor Zhou didn't know about it. If he knew about Jiang Yixing's behavior and concealed it, then don't blame Jiang Li for not recognizing this friend...
Yuan Wuxing was overwhelmed by what he heard. This was going to be a big deal! "Go and call the parents of the missing child and tell them that the murderer has been found and is being tried in the City Lord's Mansion."
"yes!"
…
The Lord of Qingcheng City is named Zeng. He believes that his career has been extremely smooth, as he started out as a minor official and has been constantly noticed by nobles and promoted all the way. Now he has even taken the position of Lord of Qingcheng City, a position that many of his colleagues are trying their best to get. With the connection to the Jiang family, although he has never met His Majesty the Human Emperor directly, but with the connection to the Jiang family, isn't that equivalent to getting in touch with the Human Emperor?
You know, the former Qingcheng City Lords now hold very high positions, and the highest-ranking one is already a prefect, which makes me very envious.
City Lord Zeng was preparing to rest early as usual. It was getting close to evening, and although it was not yet time to get off work, as the city lord, no one would say anything if he left work half an hour early.
Just when he was about to take a break, his subordinates told him that there was someone outside the door who wanted the city lord to judge a major case.
City Lord Zeng was very unhappy. A major case meant that it could not be solved in a short time and his working hours would be delayed.
"Go tell the man outside that I have to go out for something and ask him to come back tomorrow."
"Sir, according to that man, he caught the murderer who stole the child. It was none other than Jiang Yixing, the deceased old man of the Jiang family. He has beaten the old man to the point of being unconscious. When the people heard about it, they came one after another. Now our door is completely blocked."
"You bastard, why didn't you tell me this earlier!" City Lord Zeng was horrified and kicked his ignorant subordinate to the ground. He quickly straightened his clothes and sat upright in the lobby.
"Who's making noise outside? Bring him up!" City Lord Zeng sat high up in the hall, his expression solemn and majestic.
Jiang Li walked into the lobby, holding Jiang Yixing like a chick. Next to him was Yuan Wuxing, who was extremely excited but trembling with fear. Behind him were a dozen crying parents, who kicked and scolded Jiang Yixing, and behind them were the crowd watching the fun.
The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulate that the decisions of local officials on cases should be made public.
At this time, City Lord Zeng hated this law very much. It was difficult for him to protect the Jiang family under the watchful eyes of the public.
