Chapter 114: Huang Quan Devil Art, Jiang Han

Numerous doubts left Jiang Hongyang, the head of the branch family, utterly baffled no matter how hard he racked his brain.

Seeing the confusion on the other's face, Jiang Yan no longer hid anything and immediately told him the full details of his origins and the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing that the main family had already relocated from Wudan City to Cangwu Mountain, and that Clan Leader Jiang Daoxuan intended to recall them all.

Every Jiang family disciple was deeply shaken, their pupils filled with disbelief.

After all, from Jiang Yan's mouth they had already learned what terrifying might the current Cangwu Jiang family possessed!

A Purple Mansion realm cultivator? Heh, before their own Clan Leader Jiang Daoxuan, that would be nothing more than a foe he could destroy with a casual wave of his hand.

Even a cultivator as powerful as the Primordial Sea realm still could not withstand a single strike from the Clan Leader, and could only fall on the spot in regret!

Therefore, upon learning that this Clan Leader wished to summon them back to settle at Cangwu Mountain.

Their very first thought was that they must still be trapped in some sweet dream, unable to wake.

It was no wonder they would think this way.

One moment they were facing the threat of the Purple Mansion faction Black Tiger Sect, and the next someone stepped forward to tell them that behind them stood a Primordial Sea realm cultivator as immensely powerful as the Clan Leader, who could shelter everyone!

With developments this fantastical, how could anyone possibly choose to believe it completely at first glance?

Later, after receiving Jiang Yan's repeated confirmations, they finally accepted this utterly fantastical yet heart-stirring truth!

"Although I know it's true, I still find it hard to believe that one day we could return to the main family and receive the Clan Leader's protection."

"Ain't that the truth? Who could have imagined that after several hundred years, our Jiang clan could give birth to such an astonishing figure! You must know that is the Primordial Sea realm! Even that ancestor of the main family back then was only at the Purple Mansion realm."

"At a time when the clan was battered by storms, he entered closed-door cultivation at the peak of the Innate realm for six years, broke through both the Purple Mansion and Primordial Sea realms in succession, mastered the true meaning of the sword, and took his place among the Sword Sect—such earth-shaking feats have already surpassed the ancestors and reached a height unseen by any in history!"

"Hahaha! I can hardly wait to head to Cangwu Mountain. Once I have the Clan Leader's protection, I would like to see who would still dare to bully us at will!"

The many Jiang family members present had been suppressed by reality for far too long.

But after learning everything about the main family and about Clan Leader Jiang Daoxuan, the long-suppressed weight in their hearts burst open at once, and they instantly felt enlightened and exhilarated!

Watching the crowd sink into joy, Jiang Yan pointed at the corpse of Cao Bo not far away and said to Jiang Hongyang, "Tell me, what is this about?"

Seeing this family prodigy bring up the matter, Jiang Hongyang gave a soft sigh: "It is because some time ago, Wanrou took Han'er out and happened to run into this Cao Bo by chance..."

As Jiang Hongyang recounted, Jiang Yan gradually came to understand the whole affair.

Then, thinking of Gao Wanrou and Jiang Han, who were staying at the Gao family, his gaze shifted slightly and he said softly.

"The Clan Leader once said that this time he wants us to bring every single member of the branch family back to Cangwu Mountain without missing a single one. Since that is so, send someone to lead the way and take me to visit the Gao family so we can bring the mother and son back."

"They carry Jiang family blood, yet living in someone else's house for so long is hardly proper. They still need to come along with us to Cangwu Mountain."

Jiang Hongyang nodded.

He understood the gravity of the matter and immediately gave orders for the clansmen to pack their belongings, then personally led Jiang Yan away toward the Gao family.

Not long after.

The Gao family compound.

A group of young Gao family disciples, led by an elder, had gathered in the courtyard to practice their fists.

All of this was taken in completely by a pair of brown eyes.

The owner of those eyes was a black-haired youth in coarse linen clothes, thin of frame.

He watched the moves the crowd threw, and a hint of realization flickered in his eyes.

Just as he was halfway through secretly learning, a Gao family member in splendid robes suddenly walked past nearby.

Sensing the movement, the youth immediately snapped out of his absorbed state, hurriedly lowered his head, gripped his broom with both hands, and earnestly swept up the withered yellow leaves scattered on the ground.

Seeing this, the Gao family member, who had only walked partway, jeered casually: "Oh my, isn't this Jiang family young master Jiang Han, the one who refuses to take our Gao family name? How did he end up so down and out?"

The mocking laughter rang out, but Jiang Han paid it no heed at all.

The reason was that he had long since grown completely used to it.

Ever since he had moved to this extremely clannish Gao family with his mother Gao Wanrou.

Jiang Han, who had refused the elder's suggestion to change his name to Gao Han, had instantly become an outsider isolated by every member of the Gao family!

Especially after some time ago, when the mother who had raised him passed away suddenly from exhaustion and accumulated illness.

His situation within the Gao family grew ever more dire.

He had even fallen so low as to have to do chores meant for servants just to receive rations and barely keep himself alive.

"However, this state of affairs will soon come to an end."

Jiang Han clenched both fists tightly, his blood and qi surging within him—he had clearly already reached the Bone-Forging realm!

You must know that before, his aptitude had been so poor that his cultivation speed lagged far behind that of ordinary people.

So after years of training, he had only reached the ninth layer of the Blood Condensation realm.

But all of that changed dramatically, beginning from that night three days ago!

Jiang Han gently closed his eyes, and a treasure chart radiating yellow light instantly surfaced in his mind.

This item was a supreme treasure he had chanced upon that night, called the "Yellow Springs Demon Chart"!

According to the information left within the Yellow Springs Demon Chart.

Jiang Yan had already learned that it was a supreme inheritance treasure left behind by the ancient great emperor "Yellow Springs Emperor," possessing many marvelous abilities that he would need to uncover step by step!

And over these past days, relying on his exceptional comprehension, he had become the one to master from the Yellow Springs Chart a powerful cultivation method called the Yellow Springs Demonic Art!

So long as he performed the Yellow Springs Demonic Art, he could devour others' essence, qi, and spirit to nourish himself and raise his realm and cultivation.

However, each devouring required a certain amount of time to digest, and only after digestion was complete could he begin the next devouring.

It was precisely by relying on this method that he had resolved the problem of his poor aptitude, thereby achieving an overtake and breaking through rapidly!
