Chapter 136: Jiang Daoxuan

"I assume Yan'er has already conveyed my words to you all, so there's no need for me to repeat them."

"After this, follow Yan to have someone arrange your rooms—you may settle down here on Cangwu Mountain from now on..."

As soon as he finished speaking, every member of the branch families present immediately bowed in gratitude.

Their journey here had already made them fully aware of just how precious Cangwu Mountain truly was.

Such a dense concentration of spiritual energy—no matter how hard they searched their memories, they could find no place to rival it!

Not even a single place with one or two percent of Cangwu Mountain's spiritual energy density existed!

Originally, upon learning that the clan lord had summoned them back to the main family, they had already been filled with great excitement.

But now, only at this moment did they suddenly realize: returning to the main family was not just an opportunity—this Cangwu Mountain, which they had always overlooked, was an opportunity so immense it surpassed everyone's wildest imagination!

If we could stay here permanently, how drastically would our cultivation speed increase in the future?

At this thought, every branch family member present trembled involuntarily, their faces glowing with indescribable ecstasy!

Watching their reactions, Jiang Daoxuan smiled knowingly.

Immediately after learning from Jiang Yan of everything that had transpired within the Quantong Jiang family,

he silently memorized the name "Heihu Sect," then gestured for Jiang Yan to lead the others away.

Jiang Yan did not wish to disturb the clan lord further; after performing a deep, respectful bow, he turned and led all the branch family members out.

Yet, before they had taken even a few steps, Jiang Daoxuan's voice drifted softly behind them.

"Jiang Han, stay behind."

At these words, the branch family members froze, startled.

Their expressions filled with confusion, they all turned to look at Jiang Han beside them.

Why had the clan lord suddenly ordered Jiang Han to remain alone?

Everyone was baffled, but Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

"Could the clan lord have noticed something too?"

He had learned from his master of this younger cousin's peculiarities.

Now, for the clan lord to call Jiang Han alone—this clearly carried some odd significance.

Yet he himself harbored secrets, so he would not pry into Jiang Han's, nor did he care to.

Thus, Jiang Yan turned to the surrounding branch family members and urged, "Let Jiang Han stay here—we should go."

Hearing this, the others snapped back to reality and, fearing they might disturb the clan lord, hurriedly moved off, following Jiang Yan out of the ancestral hall.

Soon, the entire ancestral hall fell silent, empty once more.

Jiang Han stood motionless, head bowed, fists clenched tightly around his sleeves.

His heart pounded with anxiety—he had no idea why the clan lord had summoned him alone.

Just as sweat broke on his forehead and he felt utterly lost,

"No matter what dangers you face outside, never forget that the family will always be your strongest shield..."

A voice, gentle as a breeze, drifted softly into Jiang Han's ears.

Upon hearing its meaning, a thunderclap seemed to detonate deep within him, sending a shiver up his scalp.

Instantly, he snapped his head up, eyes wide, staring at the man before him, his pupils filled with disbelief!

He naturally did not believe the clan lord would say such things without reason.

Had my secret been discovered?

Jiang Han's heart jolted; he instinctively opened his mouth to voice his suspicion.

"You..."

But he had barely uttered one syllable when Jiang Daoxuan's next words cut him off.

"When traveling, if you clash with others, remember to deliver the final blow—never let them trick you with feigned death. You must also destroy the body and erase all traces to minimize your exposure. Understood?"

Thinking of the dangers hidden within the Huang Quan Devil Art, Jiang Daoxuan felt it necessary to warn this destined clan member, lest he suffer grave consequences later.

At this, listening to his clan lord's instructions, Jiang Han was utterly speechless.
