This young man possesses a purple spiritual root.
An extremely rare high-level spiritual root.
Not to mention Central Continent, there are only a handful in the entire Five Continents.
Jiang Huai-ren felt that he was really lucky.
Although he lost face by being beaten up by Yun Yue, he picked up this genius on his way back.
If properly nurtured, they will surely bring glory to the Jiang family in the future.
He immediately decided to take on apprentices.
But the young man became hesitant and pretentious.
To demonstrate his magnanimity, he was given a few days to consider.
They even secretly sent someone to analyze the pros and cons for him.
He could sense that the young man was a smart person, and if he was smart, he should know how to make a choice.
"I've made up my mind." The young man looked up at Jiang Huai Ren, a faint smile on his face.
Jiang Huai-ren thought he had come to his senses, and his attitude softened a bit: "I believe you will give me a satisfactory answer."
“I don’t want to,” the young man said.
"What did you say?" Jiang Huai Ren frowned, his eyes fixed on him.
“I said, I don’t want to,” the young man repeated.
"How dare you!" Jiang Huai-ren suddenly stood up, his body wreathed in black flames.
The black flames instantly set one of his maids ablaze.
The maid let out a terrified scream, but she didn't even have a chance to save herself; she was burned to ashes in just a few breaths.
"Clan leader, please calm down." Jiang Yan, the third elder of the Jiang family, hurriedly comforted him, "He is young and fearless. Let me persuade him again."
Then she looked up at the young man and said in a painstaking tone, "The clan leader is willing to accept you as a disciple. This is a great honor for you. Don't ruin your life."
The young man remained unfazed: "I have a sect I wish to join, and I will only join that sect in my life. I will not consider any others."
"Which sect? Is it stronger than my Jiang family?" Jiang Yan asked, frowning.
"How could that be! Our Jiang family is the head of the eight great families in the Central Continent, and the strongest force in the five continents." Jiang Si, the eldest son of the Jiang family, sneered.
He is Jiang Mingyue's older brother, and his talent is among the best in the Jiang family.
“Si’er is right. There is no power in this world stronger than our Jiang family,” Jiang Yan said with certainty.
“You are all so ignorant.” The young man shook his head: “Miss Bai alone is ten times, a hundred times, no, a thousand times or even ten thousand times stronger than you.”
"Which girl, Bai?" Jiang Huai-ren asked, frowning.
"Miss Bai has been kind to me. My current good fortune is entirely due to Miss Bai, so I will never allow you to disturb me," the young man said righteously.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Jiang Huai-ren narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"I was given this life by chance," the young man said calmly.
On the day the demonic centipede attacked the city, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but it was a pill from Miss Bai that saved his life.
And it helped him develop a purple spiritual root.
He was extremely grateful.
Therefore, I thought I must join the Star Moon Sect and serve it diligently in the future.
But today, he may not be able to escape it.
"I want to see if you really don't care." Jiang Huai-ren said, a wisp of black flame emerging from his fingertip and heading straight for the young man's brow.
He possesses a purple spiritual root, but has not yet begun cultivation.
Therefore, Jiang Huai-ren's attack was bound to kill him.
The young man sighed, closed his eyes, and remained calm despite facing imminent death.
Jiang Huai-ren did not actually intend to kill him.
It's just to scare them.
After all, purple spiritual roots are really rare.
If the Jiang family can obtain this child and nurture him carefully, he will surely bring glory to the Jiang family in the future.
However, before the black flames could get close, they were blocked by an invisible force and could not advance any further.
Jiang Huai-ren's expression changed drastically, and he looked around warily: "Who?"
"Clan leader, what's wrong?" Jiang Yan asked, puzzled.
"Someone helped him stop my fire." As he spoke, Jiang Huai-ren's divine sense quickly spread out, but he did not find anything unusual.
Jiang Yan also looked around warily, but found nothing unusual.
But the more this is the case, the more powerful the person who came is.
After all, they were already powerful beings at the half-step immortal realm, yet they couldn't sense the other's presence.
This only proves that the other side is far superior to them.
Jiang Yan decisively crushed the summoning talisman, then quickly stepped forward and shielded Jiang Si behind him.
This is the eldest son of the Jiang family, the grandson of the clan leader, and an outstanding member of his generation.
There is no room for error.
"Third Grandfather, what happened?" Jiang Si asked hurriedly.
"A master has arrived," Jiang Yan said warily.
"I wonder which senior has come to visit my Jiang family. Please show yourself so we can have a chat," Jiang Huai-ren said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Niu Shanming then slowly appeared.
The moon-white robe gave him an air of otherworldly elegance.
However, he suppressed his cultivation level to the peak of the ninth level of the half-step immortal realm, just a hair's breadth away from entering the immortal realm.
Jiang Huai Ren was only at the peak of the eighth level.
The higher one goes in the cultivation realm, the more difficult it becomes; even a minor level may be impossible to surpass in a lifetime.
In the entire Jiang family, only Jiang Sanzu has reached this level.
Therefore, it was enough to intimidate Jiang Huai-ren.
But it gave them a glimmer of hope, making them feel that with Jiang Sanzu around, he couldn't do anything to them.
Giving hope and then cruelly extinguishing it is even more infuriating.
Jiang Huai-ren glanced at Niu Shan-ming.
I don't recognize him, and he doesn't look familiar at all.
He had met all the figures of the Zhongzhou Ancestor's generation.
Although I was too young to speak with them, I had seen them from afar.
This senior colleague is completely unfamiliar to me.
They're probably not from Central Continent.
"This junior is ignorant and does not know your esteemed name, senior?" Jiang Huai-ren smiled.
Niu Shanming merely glanced at Jiang Huai Ren indifferently and said coldly, "You are not qualified to know my name."
Jiang Huai Ren's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "Senior, please have a seat in the hall. My third ancestor has already emerged from seclusion. He is very knowledgeable and may even be an old friend of yours."
“Jiang Laosan isn’t qualified either.” Niu Shanming said, and with a light wave of his hand, the young man landed behind him.
"What do you mean by this, senior?" Jiang Huai-ren frowned.
"Didn't you hear what he said? He originally intended to join our sect." Niu Shanming snorted, "How is your behavior any different from that of bandits?"
"May I ask which sect you are the patriarch of, senior?" Jiang Yan took a deep breath and asked.
"I'm not an ancestor, I'm just a hall master of the Star Moon Sect," Niu Shanming said slowly.
"Senior is the hall master of the Star Moon Sect?" The young man asked excitedly.
"Are you a survivor of that monster attack on the city?" Niu Shanming asked instead of answering.
“Yes.” The young man nodded: “My name is Wu Luo. I am fortunate to have this opportunity because of Miss Bai’s great kindness. I swear to join the Star Moon Sect and serve her like a dog.”
