Chapter 449: The Son of Jiang Zhongming, the Devil Demon Sword Is Abnormal!

Yet not everything during that time went as desired.

One matter that particularly angered him was this:

Among the high-ranking elders who had gone out on missions back then, besides himself, there was also the Third Guardian, who possessed Foundation Establishment Level One cultivation base!

When the two sides met, both chose to fight fiercely over the inheritance of the Devil Demon Sect!

In that great battle of the Ten Thousand Forms Realm, he seized the Devil Demon Sword, while the other seized the Devil Demon Armor.

Afterwards, the Devil Demon Sect split, giving rise to the Earth Devil Sect, led by the Third Guardian!

Because the Devil Demon Armor also requires the Jiang family's bloodline to activate.

Thus, when the other departed, he did not merely take away numerous resources, but also took a portion of the Jiang clan members with him.

Over the ensuing centuries,

The other, like himself, had continuously sought the whereabouts of the Devil Demon Token.

During this time, conflicts arose repeatedly.

Because both sects cultivated the same cultivation art.

This caused both sides to know each other's weaknesses, so when they clashed, deadly techniques flew constantly, each move aimed at killing the opponent, resulting in heavy losses on both sides!

Thinking of all this, the Chief Guardian could not help but feel rage surge within him!

"But this situation will soon come to an end."

"Once I gain control of the Devil Demon Token and obtain the Life Soul Stone, Third Brother, no matter how skilled you are, you will ultimately become nothing more than a pet dog before me!"

The Chief Guardian curled his lips into a cold smile.

If he obtained the Devil Demon Token,

He could unite both sects and become the true master of the Devil Demon Sect!

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

Immediately, he rose impatiently from his wooden chair and walked toward the door.

He must reach the Cangwu Jiang Clan before Gu Zheng does.

If he arrives too late and Gu Zheng wipes out the Cangwu Jiang Clan,

His hard-won new lead will be lost!

When the Chief Guardian stepped outside,

He halted, turned, and looked at the several Purple Mansion-level guards and the Ocean Cultivation-level guard captain at the door.

"I need to go out. Before I return, you must guard the Sect Master tightly and prevent him from wandering about."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The guards tightened their expressions and hastily bowed: "Yes, Master!"

Seeing this, the Chief Guardian waved his sleeve and departed with peace of mind.

Not long after,

A woman, carrying an infant, passed the guards' inspection, was confirmed safe, and was allowed to enter the room.

She gazed at Jiang Zhongming seated on the wooden chair.

Seeing his face clouded with gloom, she felt great confusion.

Her husband had an exceptionally stable heart, and for years, few things had caused him to wear such an expression.

"Husband, what has happened?"

Seeing his wife and child approach, Jiang Zhongming's expression softened slightly.

He rose slowly and walked before the mother and child.

Gazing at the infant in the swaddling clothes, eyes closed, still asleep,

His eyes filled with deep affection.

Immediately, the clouds of worry on his face dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Jiang Zhongming, fearing he might wake the child, whispered softly: "Nothing serious, Xue'er. But why did you suddenly bring Gang'er here?"

Seeing her husband unwilling to elaborate, Qin Xue respected his wishes and did not press further.

Instead, she followed his lead and said:

"Today I took Gang'er to the ancestral home, but unexpectedly, while I wasn't watching, he crawled up to the Devil Demon Sword and reached out to touch it."

"The Devil Demon Sword's sharp aura is immensely fierce—how could Gang'er possibly withstand it?"

"Fortunately, Gang'er is blessed with great fortune and did not perish, but he fell into a coma and has not awakened since—that's why I came to you to find out why..."

The Devil Demon Sword normally requires the Jiang family's blood qi to nourish it.

Thus, unless something major occurs, it is stored in the ancestral home.

At this moment, hearing these words, Jiang Zhongming's expression changed drastically!

The Devil Demon Sword is a Heaven-grade spiritual sword, peerless in power—even unactivated, it still contains traces of sharp aura.

If one possesses cultivation, one can naturally neutralize this sharp aura.

But our child has not yet begun to cultivate; his weak blood qi—how could he possibly endure it unscathed?

Even if he miraculously survived, his body must already be riddled with damage, harming his foundation!

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongming instantly felt panic.

He quickly extended both hands, pressing them against his son's chest, carefully channeling true qi through the meridians to examine his internal condition.

Time passed slowly.

Qin Xue's expression grew increasingly tense.

She was deeply worried about her son's well-being.

Yet at this moment, Jiang Zhongming's face grew increasingly strange.

"Strange... Gang'er's qi and blood flow smoothly; there's no injury, his constitution is perfectly normal..."

At these words, Qin Xue was instantly confused: "If there's no injury, then why hasn't Gang'er woken up?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Zhongming was momentarily stumped.

Yes, if there's nothing wrong, why has he fallen into a deep sleep and failed to awaken?

Could it be that his soul has been injured?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongming was suddenly startled.

He had only this one son—if such a great disaster had befallen him, what could he do?

Should he wait for the Grand Protector to return, and have him treat his own son?

Just as Jiang Zhongming's thoughts churned and he felt at a loss...

He suddenly, unintentionally, noticed a tiny red mark on his son's palm.
