"Captain Jiang, I heard that you became Xu Xing's protector?"
Jiang Yun frowned at Zhang Cheng's voice transmission, but then relaxed. It had been a few days, so it was normal for the Zhang family's collateral branch to get the news.
"Yes, any news?"
Now Zhang Cheng had become Jiang Yun's source of information within the collateral branch. He immediately knew that some information might implicate him. Jiang Yun had just sent a message, thought about it, and sent another.
"Wait for me at Zuixianlou."
After Jiang Yun sent it, he changed his route, gave up the idea of ​​returning to the offering hall, and moved to Zuixianglou.
"Captain Jiang, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Jiang Yun was already in the inner city when he sent the message. He quickly arrived at Zuixianlou and booked a private room on the second floor to wait for Zhang Cheng. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Cheng arrived, exhausted.
"Sit down, how are you these past few days?"
Jiang Yun casually pointed to the empty seat opposite, picked up the teacup, took a sip and asked:
"Oh, don't mention it. I'm too busy. Zhang Ping signed up for the Fuhui and has been busy with his own affairs recently. Our branch of the clan is already sparsely populated. I have made countless trips to find a teacher for him!"
Zhang Cheng complained after taking a sip of tea. His words also told Jiang Yun that if Jiang Yun hadn't just casually ordered Zhang Ping to get first place in the Fuhui, why would he be so concerned?
"Zhang Ping has become rich, don't you have a share?" Jiang Yun said casually, knowing who the other party was, and then continued to ask:
"Tell me, what's the matter."
Zhang Cheng then told Jiang Yun all the information he had obtained.
After hearing this, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and then said:
"So, this Zhang Feifan is difficult to deal with?" This was the first time Jiang Yun had heard this name. Aren't double names only given to direct descendants?
Zhang Cheng saw Jiang Yun's doubts and quickly explained:
"This cousin lost both his parents when he was young and lived with his uncle. His uncle is a Jindan cultivator. So strictly speaking, he can be considered a collateral branch. And in order to participate in the Talisman Meeting, he has changed his name back to his original name, Zhang Fan."
Jiang Yun immediately understood. It seemed the conflict between the side branch and the Worship Hall was essentially a struggle between the entire Zhang family and the Worship Hall. And behind all of this was the struggle between True Lord Xuanyang and True Lord Miaoyin.
"Captain Jiang, the other party is so aggressive, how are you going to respond?"
Zhang Cheng looked at Jiang Yun with a slightly anxious look. He was tightly bound to the other party. Jiang Yun glanced at Zhang Cheng and said nothing.
I just learned from the other party that this seed player from the side branch usually practices in the sect and has received personal instruction from the sect's talisman master. He is Xu Xing's true rival.
The other party arrived in Ziyang City, intending to participate in the Ziyang Talisman Meeting as a member of the Zhang family's side branch. They had specifically sought out an extremely powerful protector within the sect. Shortly after their arrival, they planned to convene a meeting to dispel the clouds within the side branch. While the public announcement was meant to clear the clouds and reveal the sun, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a reaction to Jiang Yun's actions against the Zhang family's side branch a few years ago.
"Did they come here without visiting Ziyang Mountain?" Jiang Yun drank his spiritual tea, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question. Zhang Chen understood immediately and replied immediately:
"I haven't heard of it. Everyone in the Zhang family knows that the man on Ziyang Mountain doesn't get along well with the Ziyang Sect. It was after this man came that the bloody fight between the Worship Hall and the side branches was changed to a fighting talisman."
After hearing this, Jiang Yun felt relieved. As long as there were no Jindan cultivators coming here, he was not afraid.
After getting the information he wanted from Zhang Cheng, Jiang Yun did not go to the shop to look for the second-level beast soul. He went straight back to the offering hall and found Lin Chengsi who was instructing Xu Xingfu.
"Where did you get a second-level soul beast?" Lin Chengsi didn't expect Jiang Yun to ask this. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Under normal circumstances, you'd have to wait a while, but in a few days, Yunluo will be hunting, and there will be a batch of beast souls. However, I can't guarantee the quantity and quality."
Jiang Yun nodded after hearing this, and thought, "One is enough for one." Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Jiang Yun was about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Chengsi.
"What do you think of the actions of the Zhang family's side branch?"
It seemed Lin Chengsi had also heard about the Cloud-Driving Conference. Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head. His approach was to not prepare for anything, not respond, not fight. He would just wait patiently until the day of the Fuhui.
"They want to use you to integrate their side branches and expand their influence in Ziyang City. And I've heard that in three days, this Zhang Fan from the sect will face your former rival, Zhang Ping, in front of the city gate square. Then, they'll hold a Cloud-clearing Conference in the square."
Lin Chengsi looked at Jiang Yun with some curiosity and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Fan is promoting Jiang Yun as an enemy to consolidate the entire branch." Normally, internal talisman duels are rarely publicized, but this time, the other party openly and openly competed. On the one hand, this shows his strong confidence in his own talisman skills. On the other hand, it's to prove to others that if Jiang Yun can do it, Zhang Fan can do it too, and even better.
"Haha, little kids? Let them have fun!" Jiang Yun had just advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and was in high spirits. His system panel could free him from the pain of bottlenecks. Although it took 100 chronological points to break through the bottleneck, it was already much stronger than other cultivators who were suffering from bottlenecks.
Three days later, Ziyang City finally felt bustling again. After the previous demonic cultivator rebellion, many cultivators had left the city. However, after the Ziyang Sect successfully restored the city's protective formation and defeated the Jindan demonic cultivator who had disrupted it, many cultivators gradually returned to the city.
