Chapter 257

From beginning to end, the only one in the Jiang family who could make him feel true reverence was the White-Clothed Sword Marquis Jiang Daoxuan.

Could a minor figure like Jiang's Grand Elder, with no notable reputation, deserve the wait of a Star Wheel True Person like him?

He was just about to speak out and rebuke them.

But then he remembered the terrifying nature of the White-Clothed Sword Marquis and his many horrific deeds.

In the end, reverence outweighed anger.

He could only reluctantly lower his head and agree.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Hu humiliated, Zhang Cang smiled faintly, enjoying the spectacle.

Zhao Hu, self-assured in his Star Wheel cultivation base and backed by Sima Nan,

had always been arrogant and tyrannical, regarding no one from the great clans or sects with respect.

Most people, wary of Sima Nan, dared not offend him lightly.

So this scene was truly rare to see.

Not long after.

Jiang Hongguang, busy handling clan affairs, received a report from a clansman.

Upon hearing that Qingshan Sect and the Prefect had sent emissaries to visit,

he understood the gravity of the matter and immediately set off down the mountain.

Upon reaching the Shanmen, he formally met the three of them.

Jiang Hongguang first took out the Binding Spirit Great Array's token, recorded Xu Gu's aura, allowing him to be immune to the cultivation suppression effect.

After completing this, he exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone.

During this time, because Jiang Hongguang possessed Yuanhai Realm cultivation base and deliberately suppressed his aura,

Zhao Hu and Zhang Cang failed to detect that the old man before them carried the Lei Lingti.

The conversation ended quickly; Jiang Hongguang immediately walked ahead, leading the three up the mountain toward the clan's grand hall.

Along the way,

Zhao Hu and Zhang Cang secretly probed with their spiritual senses.

Both wanted to see what marvels the Jiang family possessed that could produce a prodigy like Jiang Daoxuan!

Under their scrutiny, they indeed discovered many things.

Although they rarely saw any cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm,

Jiang clan members of the Primordial and Postnatal Realms were everywhere, their numbers reaching an astonishing scale!

So astonishing that they encountered a Postnatal or Primordial clan member every few steps!

If one excluded the numbers of top-tier combatants,

this absurdly immense clan foundation already surpassed many Moon Wheel sects with millennia of heritage!

"This Jiang family truly is blessed with outstanding people and fertile land..."

Zhang Cang couldn't help but sigh.

The sheer number of Postnatal and Primordial Realm clan members,

even his own Qingshan Sect could not match—it fell far short.

Only in numbers above the Purple Mansion Realm could it barely hold a slight advantage.

Yet Qingshan Sect had developed for over three thousand years!

How many years had this Cangwu Jiang family even existed? How could it possess such an unbelievable clan foundation?!

What startled him even more was,

under his spiritual sense probe, he was stunned to discover that the bone age of these people generally did not exceed thirty!

This point was even more terrifying—almost inconceivable, unimaginable!!

On the other side,

Zhao Hu also keenly sensed the extraordinary nature of these Jiang clan members.

His expression had grown unusually grave; deep within his pupils lay an intense, overwhelming shock!

Recalling the Jiang family's development records he had just read in the Wudan City archives,

he couldn't help but inwardly marvel:

Truly worthy of a clan that once claimed a Moon Wheel ancestor.

Even if it declined further, with its bloodline and heritage, it could still rise again.

Not to mention the birth of a prodigy like the White-Clothed Sword Marquis.

This Jiang family truly proves: when one man attains the Dao, even dogs and chickens ascend to heaven!
