Chapter 194: The Shameless Grandfather and Grandson
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing wanted to use his breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Sheng to make Hun Tiandi wary.
This indeed had an effect; when Hun Tiandi planned to wipe out the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans, he had to take Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing—or rather, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan—as an uncertain factor into consideration.
Because he knew that once this variable was ignored, his plan might very well fall short at the last moment.
A Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan possessing a Nine-Star Dou Sheng was enough to make him take it seriously.
Hun Tiandi sat in a dark, secret chamber, surrounded by ancient and mysterious runes that flickered with a ghostly green light, reflecting in his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss.
He closed his eyes in contemplation, replaying Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's past actions in his mind, and suddenly realized that they, the people of the Dou Di clans, had all suffered losses at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's hands.
Whether it was the Bodhi Ancient Tree or the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, these two great opportunities had been monopolized by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing alone.
Although their Soul Clan and other clans had sent people to snatch them, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had always managed to escape unscathed.
What made Hun Tiandi feel the most angry and helpless was Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's operation from two years ago.
Two years ago, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing used schemes to either trick or seize a total of five Exotic Fires from their Dou Di clans.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had indeed played the four great Dou Di clans, including their Soul Clan, in the palm of his hand.
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was like a cunning fox, moving with ease in the jungle, while they had become the clumsy bear being played in circles.
These various behaviors of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing all exposed him as an ambitious overlord—courageous, resourceful, ambitious, deep in strategy, and unscrupulous for the sake of profit.
This was Hun Tiandi's evaluation of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.
He regretted that he had realized it too late, allowing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing to become a force to be reckoned with.
Hun Tiandi swore that if he were given another chance, he would personally take action, at any cost, to nip Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing in the bud before he could rise.
However, reality was always cruel. Time would not flow backward, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was not someone he could solve just because he wanted to.
Today's Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing not only had broken through to Nine-Star Dou Sheng but also had the full support of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan...
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Hun Tiandi had no doubt that if the Soul Clan suffered heavy losses from wiping out the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing would not hesitate to emerge as that oriole.
Hun Tiandi only felt a headache!
To wipe out the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans without suffering heavy injuries himself—how easy was that to say?
What Hun Tiandi considered was only whether he would be heavily injured by Gu Yuan's desperate counterattack; as long as he could wipe out the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans and collect the eight pieces of Ancient Jade, Hun Tiandi wouldn't particularly care about the life or death of others in the Soul Clan.
As long as he wasn't heavily injured, he, at the late-stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, was not afraid of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing at the early-stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
The news Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing released was only that he had broken through to Nine-Star Dou Sheng, not that he was at the late-stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Hun Tiandi only regarded Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing as being at the early-stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng and didn't think about the mid-stage, and the other clans were the same.
After the news of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Sheng was released, the Taixu Ancient Dragons stopped sealing the island and allowed their clansmen to go out.
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had been in seclusion for two years, and Dragon Island had been sealed for two years as well.
During those two years, they hadn't obtained any resources from the outside world, relying entirely on their inventory.
Fortunately, the Taixu Ancient Dragons were born with the ability to find treasures and had stored up quite a few cultivation resources.
The consumption of an entire clan was immense, and recently, things had become tight.
If they didn't go out to find cultivation resources, the improvement of the clansmen couldn't be guaranteed.
Therefore, after Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing came out of seclusion, the upper echelons of the Taixu Ancient Dragons discussed and decided to stop sealing the island and let the clansmen out.
Let them go out and use the Taixu Ancient Dragons' unique treasure-finding ability to collect the resources they needed.
One day, the Ancient Clan and the Yan Clan sent people to the Beast Domain, saying they wanted to exchange for Gu Xun'er and the other two.
The reason they said "exchange" was because they knew that without giving him some benefits, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing wouldn't release them.
They were already prepared to use some resources to exchange for the three of them.
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing refused directly, stating that he had been assassinated by Gu Xun'er back in the Jia Ma Empire, an event that had left him with a great shadow, so he certainly couldn't release her so easily.
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing brought up that old story.
Guba, the person sent by the Ancient Clan, said: "Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, we are not even asking you to return the inheritance Exotic Fires; as long as you release those three, isn't that enough? Don't go too far!"
They were only sent to deliver a message, so they weren't afraid of being killed by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.
"What inheritance Exotic Fires? Why haven't I seen them?" Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing played the rogue directly.
Guba was about to be angered to death.
At this time, Yan Jiang, the person from the Yan Clan, asked: "You say you captured Gu Xun'er because she assassinated you?"
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't know what he meant, but he still nodded.
"Then these two from my Yan Clan didn't make a move against you, right? Our Yan Clan didn't offend you, right? Then why did you capture them?"
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing thought to himself, "Good fellow, so you were waiting for me here."
How was he supposed to answer that?
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was in a bit of a bind because he really had no grudge with the Yan Clan.
"Since they didn't make a move against you, please release those two," Yan Jiang said.
Yan Jiang quietly transmitted his voice to Guba: "Get back whoever we can."
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing still refused: "No."
"Could it be that what you just said was only an excuse? Is this the demeanor of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse?" Yan Jiang was silver-tongued.
Just as Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was thinking about what reason to use, a voice came.
"Who says the Yan Clan didn't offend us!" The person who arrived was Jiang Cheng.
Yan Jiang: "Where did our Yan Clan offend you?"
Jiang Cheng: "Back then, your Yan Clan's Elder Yan Ge mocked me for not having a Dou Di bloodline, and even mocked that no one in our Jiang family could break through to high-level Dou Sheng. This left me with a great shadow, causing me to be unable to break through until now. Doesn't this count as an offense?"
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's eyes lit up: "That's right, your Yan Clan's Yan Ge left my grandfather with such a big shadow, it certainly can't be left at that, which is why I captured those two."
Yan Jiang:?? You can't break through yourself, and you blame our Elder Yan Ge??
Guba:?? This works too?
"Hurry up and leave, there's no talking about releasing people!"
Yan Jiang and Guba had no choice but to flick their sleeves and leave.
After Yan Jiang and Guba returned, they recounted the conversation word for word.
Everyone in the Yan Clan and the Ancient Clan felt that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was shameless.
Gu Xun'er didn't even succeed in the assassination, and he could still bring it up as a reason.
Jiang Cheng's reason was even more outrageous.
But you can't break through because your talent isn't enough; what does that have to do with us? And you say it's because we mocked you for not having a Dou Di bloodline that you were left with a shadow!
They felt that this grandfather and grandson were simply shameless scoundrels.
They had also figured it out: Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had no intention of releasing anyone at all.
"Clan Leader, what should we do?"
"Yeah, we can't just let the Young Clan Leader be locked up there forever, right?"
