Chapter 124

"Hahaha, you don't know this, do you? This man's name is Hu Long, and he is the Sect Master of the Fallen Maple Sect!"

"Fallen Maple Sect? Wait a moment, why does that name feel so familiar?"

"Nonsense! Of course it feels familiar! Not long ago, Brother Chen's dantian was crippled—wasn't that the Fallen Maple Sect's doing?"

"What a narrow road enemies meet. I still remember how weak Brother Chen looked when he trudged back home on foot after losing his cultivation base. If it had been a few days later, Brother Chen would have died out there, and where would our Jiang family's Twin Stars fame have come from?"

"Hmph! We hadn't even gone to make trouble for them, yet the Sect Master of the Fallen Maple Sect actually dares to come to our Jiang family on his own, wanting to visit the Clan Chief—truly laughable to the extreme!"

"Looking at it this way, today is also the time to settle these old scores with the Fallen Maple Sect."

"No wonder Elder Gu caught him and brought him here—well caught!"

After learning Hu Long's identity from the mouths of the mountain-guarding disciples, all the Jiang clan members present could not help but clap and cheer.

One should know that during these past days.

Jiang Chen, who had recovered his cultivation base and leapt to become the family's prodigy, did not, on the strength of his talent and high cultivation, look down on the other clan members.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen often offered help to many clan members, instilling in everyone the ideology that Jiang family members should help one another and advance together.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen, relying on his strong personal charisma, had successfully won the admiration of many young clan members, and had already transformed into the leading figure of the Jiang family's younger generation!

Therefore, the crowd felt especially angry about Jiang Chen's dantian being crippled by the Fallen Maple Sect, and one after another stepped forward to right the wrong!

And at this moment, along with the surging emotions of the many Jiang clan members present.

Gu Xingjian had already brought Hu Long and walked to the front of the family's great hall.

He stepped through the hall's door and walked inside.

Gazing at the white-robed figure seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion ahead.

Gu Xingjian casually tossed Hu Long aside, then bowed toward Jiang Daoxuan and said: "Reporting to my lord the Clan Chief, I have already captured the Sect Master of the Fallen Maple Sect and brought him here."

Once the words fell.

Hu Long's eyes went wide, and he instantly realized that the person before him was the true master, and could not help feeling immensely uneasy.

Under his extremely nervous gaze.

Jiang Daoxuan slowly rose from the meditation cushion and turned to look.

His face was then exposed to Hu Long's line of sight.

This was a man of handsome, elegant features and an ethereal bearing, lofty and dignified like an immortal banished from the heavens.

Hu Long only glanced once, then hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him again.

Immediately after, he forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart and cautiously asked: "Jiang... Jiang Jianzong, I have come this time bearing the utmost sincerity, wishing to promote relations between our two families. May I ask what your intention was in having me brought here like this?"

Jiang Daoxuan's expression was calm, and he said casually: "Not long ago, your Fallen Maple Sect ambushed a disciple of the Qianshan Sect, shattering his dantian and causing him to be expelled from the sect."

"Quite unluckily, that disciple is precisely a member of our Jiang family."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky!
