"Where have I seen him before? Could he be Uncle Heng's illegitimate son?" Jiang Wang blinked and teased.
"Nonsense!" Jiang Zheng exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Jiang Wang gave an embarrassed smile and apologized repeatedly.
"You're saying this person is a member of my Jiang family?" After a moment, Jiang Zheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was taken aback. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "He... should be of the same lineage as us."
"Oh?" Jiang Zheng's eyes narrowed. "Are you sure?"
“Confirmed!” Jiang Wang said.
"In that case, let's capture him first!" Jiang Zheng said after a moment's thought.
"Uncle Heng means..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang was greatly surprised.
“He is a member of the Jiang family, so there is no reason for him to escape.” Jiang Zheng’s lips curled into a cold smile as he said, “Not only that, he also crippled Jiang Yang, ruining the future of the Jiang family. His crimes are even more unforgivable, and we must not let him off lightly.”
"Grandpa Heng, isn't this too dangerous?" Jiang Wang frowned and asked worriedly.
"Hehe, my Jiang family is one of the five great families of Canglan County. Even if the Northern Underworld Dynasty invades, we can remain invincible." Jiang Zheng smiled confidently.
"The Northern Underworld Dynasty!" Jiang Wang's heart churned.
"Is this young man from the Northern Underworld Dynasty?"
“That’s right,” Jiang Zheng said. “He was an outer disciple of the Yunhai Sect, but was expelled from the sect for violating the sect rules.”
"I see." Jiang Wang suddenly realized, a chill running down his spine. "No wonder he was so fearless."
"Let's go!" Then, Jiang Zheng turned around and started walking, preparing to leave the place.
"Wait." Just then, a clear and melodious female voice rang out.
"Who?" Jiang Zheng and Jiang Wang couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.
Under their watchful eyes, a petite and delicate young girl strolled over.
She had snow-white skin, long black hair, and delicate features.
A bright smile graced her pretty face.
"It's her!" Upon seeing the girl, both Jiang Wang and Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up.
This girl was none other than the girl who had treated Jiang Wang earlier.
"What do you want to do?" Upon seeing the girl, Jiang Wang frowned slightly and stared at her warily.
Jiang Wang had already guessed that this girl's background was not simple.
Otherwise, given his father Jiang Zheng's personality, he would never have been so polite.
"You just said you were going to the Sword Cliff in the Southern Ridge to seek revenge?" The girl strolled over, raised her head, blinked her bright eyes, and ignored Jiang Wang, asking the question.
“That’s right!” Jiang Wang was very frank. He nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of pride.
"Then, how about we join forces?" the girl said.
"You'll help me?" Jiang Wang was taken aback.
"If you wish to take revenge, I am willing to lend you a hand. Moreover, your cultivation will undergo a transformation."
"Haha, great! With Uncle Heng here, the two of us working together will surely be able to suppress that beast!" Jiang Wang was overjoyed.
Since this girl dared to mention that boy, it's most likely related to him.
"In that case, let's go now!" Jiang Wang said with a smile.
Afterwards, Jiang Wang and Jiang Zheng left hand in hand.
Zifeng followed behind them.
"Young lady, why are you helping him?" Jiang Wang asked as he walked ahead.
“Because we’re friends.” The girl giggled and said, “My name is Jiang Wan’er.”
“Jiang Wan’er…” Jiang Wang murmured, then smiled and said, “Me too, my name is Jiang Wang, what’s your name?” He admired the girl and was very enthusiastic about her.
After all, this girl is a prodigy!
"My name is Zifeng!" the girl smiled sweetly.
“Zifeng?” Jiang Wang was taken aback, then said, “I’ve heard people say that this boy is an orphan who grew up in the mountains. Could it really be just a coincidence?”
"I also grew up in the mountains and fields, but my life was full of hardships," Zi Feng said with a faint smile.
"You also grew up in the mountains and fields?" Jiang Wang's eyes lit up.
He knew that this young man was probably hiding his identity.
This made him even more interested.
"Do you have any martial arts resources here?" Zi Feng asked.
“Yes, all kinds of treasures, martial arts techniques, spiritual weapons, and even pills and spirit stones,” Jiang Wang said.
"Martial arts resources?" Upon hearing this, Zi Feng's eyes flashed. He knew that he had finally achieved his goal.
"Where are the martial arts resources?" Zi Feng asked.
“This…” Jiang Wang hesitated.
“Young master, I advise you not to covet martial arts resources.” Jiang Wang, who was silent for a moment, suddenly spoke up.
"Oh?" Seeing Jiang Wang's serious expression, Zi Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you say that?"
“These martial arts resources are extremely important. Each one is worth far more than ten thousand taels of gold, or even ten million taels of silver. Even if you get them, you will hardly be able to keep them. Instead, they will bring disaster upon yourself,” Jiang Wang said.
"Oh, so where are these martial arts resources?" Zi Feng asked, squinting.
“There is a forbidden area within our manor, where there are many martial arts resources. However, you do not belong to the Jiang family. If you rashly enter there, you will most likely suffer a disaster. Therefore, you had better consider this carefully,” Jiang Wang said in a deep voice. “After all, these martial arts resources are of no benefit to you.”
"Thank you for informing me. I know what I'm doing." Zi Feng cupped his hands and said, "We won't keep you any longer. We'll take our leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing that Zifeng was so agreeable, Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle Heng, why did you let them go?"
"Hehe, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions they'll have when they encounter Bei Chen Xing Yu." Jiang Wang grinned.
...
Zi Feng strolled along, deep in thought.
"Elder Heng once said that Beichen Xingyu of the Beichen Clan is exceptionally talented and has a powerful bloodline. Among his peers, he is a heaven-defying existence. If he is allowed to grow up, he will surely become a giant. At that time, the entire power of the Northern Wilderness Region will tremble." Zi Feng sighed inwardly. He took a deep breath, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Although his bloodline was extraordinary, he was only slightly inferior to Bei Chenxingyu.
"No matter what, I can't fall behind. I must find those rare and precious materials as soon as possible to strengthen my power. Otherwise, I will never be able to surpass Beichen Xingyu." Zifeng clenched his fist.
In his view, Bei Chenxingyu was too outstanding, completely overwhelming him. If he didn't work hard to catch up, he would never have another chance to catch up.
...
Night falls at the Jiang family mansion.
“This Beichuan Kingdom has several major academies, namely Cangyun Academy, Xuanyue Academy, Lingxiao Academy, Jiuyou Academy, and the three holy lands of Tianhe Royal City. In addition, there are many ancient clans and some hermit clans living here. However, among these people, there are several royal clans that are the strongest. They rule this city and have an unparalleled foundation,” Jiang Wang said.
"Below the kings and marquises is the royal family. It is said that only the royal family has kings and marquises in charge of this realm. These kings and marquises are all people who have emerged from the hands of the emperor."
