Chapter 160

Tianshui City, Jiang family, one of the three major cultivation families in this city.

At the moment, the Jiang family was filled with constant noise because the family twins, who were hailed as the family's hope, had been missing for half a month.

"I said long ago that we should have found a powerful master for Qi'er and Lin'er early on and sent them into a large sect to practice. You insisted on keeping them in the family, and now look, an accident has happened!"

In the Jiang family hall, a middle-aged man scolded a woman loudly. The woman was crying incessantly: "How would I know it would turn out like this? I wanted them to stay at home, wasn't it to cultivate more of their sense of belonging?"

"Sending them to a sect at such a young age to worship others as masters—who would recognize you as the Jiang family then? How would they remember their parents? I'm afraid they would only have the sect and their master in their eyes, and not you as a father and the family."

"Besides, this was something you agreed to at the time, and now it's all my fault."

"It's too late to say anything now. I only hope they are just playing and haven't returned. If they were targeted by the Yinshi Sect... the family has been searching for so long... where on earth did they go?" The Jiang family head clenched his fists. The Jiang family twin constitution had never been made public and had been hidden, but the Yinshi Sect had secret arts for probing special constitutions. If they encountered Yinshi Sect cultivators, that would be troublesome.

"Family Head, Family Head, the Young Master and Young Miss are back." Just as the Jiang family head and his wife were anxious, suddenly, the voice of a family guard came from outside, and the two flew out instantly.

At the same time, under Lin Jing's escort, Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin, the two twins, stood inside the family gate with trembling hearts. They didn't expect that after being caught by the Yinshi Sect, they could actually return to the family.

"Could it be that he is really a good person..."

"Watch your mouth. With his strength, even destroying the Jiang family would be easy. You must not talk too much when the time comes."

"For the sake of the family's safety, we two must not talk nonsense."

"Qi'er, Lin'er!!!" Just as the twins were still terrified, the Jiang family head and his wife immediately arrived outside and flew directly to the twins, observing them eagerly.

Both were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, which was actually not low. Lin Jing withdrew his gaze.

"Father... Mother..." The Jiang twins' eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, the Jiang couple also turned their attention to Lin Jing. Without waiting for them to ask, Lin Jing said:

"The two of them were abducted by the Yinshi Sect and coincidentally saved by me. Bringing them back this time is to let them report that they are safe at home. Next, I will take them away from here to practice outside."

"What?!" Hearing that their children were indeed abducted by the Yinshi Sect, the two were shocked. However, the two did not fully believe the words of Lin Jing, this young cultivator who appeared to be at the Qi Condensation stage.

Jiang Lin said: "Father, Mother, what this Senior said is true. It was he who saved my brother and me. We have already promised Senior that we will follow him to practice. Please rest assured, Father and Mother, Senior is very powerful; even Golden Core stages are no match for him!"

"Gol..." The Jiang family head was just about to say something when suddenly, Lin Jing frowned and looked in one direction. At the same time, deep within the Jiang family, an old man had countless ice dregs appear on his hair. The old man opened his eyes in shock: "Qi Condensation stage? Absolutely impossible. I only probed him with my spiritual sense, and my spiritual sense felt as if it had fallen into an extreme cold land, almost being frozen. This person's strength is absolutely no less than mine!"

Hum!

The old man appeared outside in an instant. He looked at Lin Jing and immediately cupped his fists: "I have met fellow Daoist. Many thanks to fellow Daoist for saving the Jiang family twins. May I ask fellow Daoist's name."

Lin Jing looked at the old man and pondered for a moment. Since he had already decided to take away their family's disciples, and he was not a human trafficker, it was better to leave a name so that the other party could feel more at ease.

He took out a Demon-Slaying Division token and said: "Demon-Slaying Division, Lin Jing. Besides that... I have another identity..."

"Lin Jing?" Suddenly, the Jiang family head was startled. He looked at Lin Jing carefully. After matching his cultivation and age with the name in his memory, he said incredulously: "Could it be that you are the thirty-second on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Lin Jing of the Beast-Controlling Sect!"

"Oh? You know me?"

The Jiang family ancestor also looked at the family head.

"I know, I know. Eleventh layer of Qi Condensation, breaking the extreme realm of Qi Condensation together with your pet beast—who in the world doesn't know you." The Jiang family head had a look of shock. Originally, he didn't quite believe that Lin Jing had saved the twins from the Yinshi Sect, but now that he knew Lin Jing's identity, he immediately understood that Lin Jing completely had this strength.

"Thirty-second on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Beast-Controlling Sect??" At the same time, the Jiang twins were also stunned. Wasn't he a demonic cultivator of the Gu God Sect?

"Then I want to take Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin away. I wonder, Family Head Jiang..."

"This is their good fortune." The Jiang family head immediately said: "I have long wanted to find a large sect for them to join. Now that they can be favored by Young Master Lin, it is absolutely their good fortune."

"That's right." Knowing Lin Jing's identity, the Jiang family ancestor didn't say anything either. This Lin Jing gave him a very terrifying feeling. Just a Qi Condensation cultivator was already like this; Lin Jing must have stronger protectors behind him. Following such a Heaven's Pride would only have benefits and no harm for the Jiang family disciples.

The Jiang twins were a bit confused, not expecting their parents and ancestor to send them out so readily.

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said: "Since that is the case, then it is decided. I am in a hurry to continue my journey, so I won't stay long in the Jiang family. Since the Jiang family already knows they are safe, I will take them on the road."

The Jiang family members didn't expect Lin Jing to be in such a hurry. The Jiang family ancestor gave a hint to the Jiang family head, and Jiang Qianren immediately understood. He took out a storage bag and said: "I haven't thanked you for your life-saving grace to Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin. This is a thank-you gift for you; please accept it."

"There is no need for a thank-you gift." Lin Jing pulled the storage bag over and threw it to Jiang Lin, saying: "Just treat it as their cultivation resources."

Having said that, he looked at Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin. These twin containers were the best thank-you gift...

Having collected two containers for nurturing child Gu, Lin Jing was finally going back to the academy this time. Having been out for so long, his luxurious cave dwelling had been left empty, and he didn't know how many spirit stones he had wasted.

Next, he would go into seclusion in the academy to consolidate his gains from this trip. He still remembered Mr. Cao saying that in two years, the Heavenly Mystery Tower would invite Heaven's Prides to hold the Battle of Heaven's Prides and re-rank the Heaven's Pride Human Ranking.

In order for the Long Li to have enough Hidden Dragon Luck to perfectly transform into a dragon, Lin Jing had to seize this opportunity to win first place on the Heaven's Pride Human Ranking and reap enough prestige.

After he left the Jiang family, he knocked out the two twins. When he planned to take them back to the Ancient Domain, he took out the current Heaven's Pride Human Ranking and took another look.

Third on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Yan Xiangbei. Disciple of the Immortal Refining Valley in the Fire Domain, genius of artifact refining, once broke the extreme realm of Qi Condensation, possesses the Innate Weapon-Holding Body, currently at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, can drive high-level magic treasures across levels, and has the record of slaying a Golden Core.

Second on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Mo Qianyi, disciple of the Divine Mechanism Villa in the Profound Domain, possesses the Innate Exquisite Body, once broke the extreme realm of Qi Condensation, currently at the late Foundation Establishment stage, genius of mechanism arts, destroyed many demon core great demons with mechanism grand arrays.

First on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Chen Zhong, disciple of the Spirit Dao Sect in the Dao Domain, once broke the extreme realm of Qi Condensation, currently at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, Innate Dao Body, amazing comprehension, realized the spell origin of the basic spell Gravity Technique... Lin Jing looked at it. If he wanted to take first place on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, these three would be his biggest threats.
