Chapter 570: Jiang Shan's Shock—Three Dao Protectors!

At this moment, what Jiang Shan said was no lie—on the contrary, every word came straight from the heart!

After all, speaking of it, if not for the "Tongxuan Golden Core" bestowed by the Clan Chief.

And then letting him serve as the president of the Cangwu Merchant Guild, enjoying all manner of resources.

How could he have reached the Purple Mansion realm in such a short time?

If not for these opportunities.

Given his utterly wretched root bone and aptitude.

He probably wouldn't even have reached the Purple Mansion realm and discovered the true spirit of Taotie hidden within the Wang Xi.

He would have already been at death's door, giving up the ghost, right?

Therefore, Jiang Shan understood very well.

That having a treasure mountain all to oneself counts for nothing.

Possessing the key to open that treasure mountain—that is what matters most!

And at this moment, listening to Jiang Shan's reply.

Jiang Hongguang nodded, quite in agreement, and could not help sighing:

"The fact that our clan can welcome such a wonderful life today is indeed entirely thanks to the Clan Chief's help."

"Every clansman has received the Clan Chief's blessing...."

Because the clan's prodigies were all advancing at astonishing speed.

He had gone from being shocked at first, to adapting later, and had gradually become numb to it.

As for the tremendous changes happening to Jiang Shan, naturally he no longer found them strange.

At this moment, Jiang Shan's face showed a hint of puzzlement.

He glanced at Jiang Hongguang.

Then glanced at the people around him.

Lowering his head, he said softly: "Elder, may I ask why you've suddenly brought so many people here today?"

Jiang Hongguang's expression turned solemn: "The Clan Chief, considering that the merchant guild is developing too quickly and is very prone to personnel shortages, specially gave orders for me to come down the mountain and deliver these people to you."

"To fill the gaps, lend you a hand, and let the guild develop even faster!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shan's eyes flew wide open, thinking he must have misheard something!

"These people—all sent by the Clan Chief to help me?"

He turned his head to scan his surroundings, staring at this group of terrifyingly imposing men in black, his eyes filled with disbelief, his face likewise covered in a look of horror!

He had never imagined that what he needed would come to him just as he needed it.

He had only just been thinking of using the Cangwu Token to contact the Clan Chief to request some manpower.

He never expected that the thought had only just arisen.

And the very next moment, the Elder, bearing the Clan Chief's order, had come to his door and delivered so many people to him!

Seeing Jiang Shan looking utterly shocked.

Jiang Hongguang extended his right hand, stroked the beard on his chin, and chuckled lightly: "Could the Clan Chief's order be false?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shan relaxed as well, then hurriedly bowed in thanks.

At this moment, an immense joy welled up from deep within his heart!

Once he had these people's help, the greatest factor holding back his expansion would be completely resolved!

At least in the short term, he could now boldly and confidently expand the Cangwu Merchant Guild without worry!

However, the surprises Jiang Shan felt were far from over!

He saw Jiang Hongguang suddenly extend his right hand and wave: "Go on...."

The words had barely fallen.

When the three Sun Wheel realm emissaries, who had originally been standing behind him, suddenly flashed their bodies and, with the speed of lightning, appeared before Jiang Shan!

At the sight of this, Jiang Shan instinctively got a terrible fright.

Especially after sensing the powerful aura emanating from these three.

He was all the more astonished!

One must realize that he had now reached the Yuan Sea realm.

Yet he could still feel such an intense pressure from them.

Could these three be Star Wheel realm powerhouses, or even Moon Wheel realm?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan was startled with horror.

He never dreamed that when the Clan Chief chose to act, he would make such an earth-shattering, grand move!

One must know that Moon Wheel realm powerhouses, placed among the various major factions within Tiandou Prefecture, were figures on the level of ancestors!

And in the current Cangwu Merchant Guild.

The strongest person stationed there was merely a Star Wheel realm loose cultivator recently recruited.

Yet now, the Clan Chief had dispatched a full three of them in one go!

Jiang Shan forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "These three are?"

Jiang Hongguang smiled: "The Clan Chief does think of you, considering that developing the Cangwu Merchant Guild is no easy task and that conflicts with other factions are likely."

"Therefore these three Sun Wheel realm cultivators all take orders from you, to keep you safe!"

Once these words were spoken, it was as if a thunderbolt had crashed down with a boom!

Three... Sun Wheel realm?

Taking orders from me?

At this moment, even Jiang Shan, usually so composed, could not help but have his face change drastically, falling into immense horror!

He never could have imagined that he had still underestimated the patriarch's grand gesture!

These were three True Persons of the Sun Wheel realm!

Any one of them would be enough to sweep through all of Tiandou Prefecture!

After all, ever since the fall of the Prefect Sima Nan.

Apart from the Cangwu Jiang Clan, the strongest experts of all other factions were only at the ninth level of the Moon Wheel realm!

Now, the Patriarch had sent three over all at once — it was truly a bit frightening!

Beyond his pleasant surprise, Jiang Shan could not help feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the favor shown him.

After all, looking across the entire Cangwu Jiang Clan, he had never heard of any clansman receiving the protection of a Sun Wheel realm expert.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan felt a warmth well up within him.

Sensing the Patriarch's care, the gratitude in his heart grew ever thicker!

He immediately resolved himself: in the future he must redouble his efforts and build up the Cangwu Merchant Guild, until it was first among the Nine Nations!

Only thus could he repay even a small portion of the Patriarch's kindness!

Afterward, Jiang Shan looked toward Jiang Hongguang.

From his vantage, he could faintly make out the Patriarch's incomparably radiant, towering figure.

Bathed in sacred light, divinely majestic, inspiring awe beyond words!

Jiang Shan's spirit surged; he could not help dropping to one knee, bowing his head, and respectfully saying:

"Many thanks to the Patriarch for his favor, many thanks to the clan for its cultivation — Jiang Shan, in this life, shall surely not fail the Patriarch's great expectations!"

Jiang Hongguang nodded: "From beginning to end, the Patriarch has never misjudged anyone."

"Since he is willing to let you serve as the president of this Cangwu Merchant Guild, entrusting you with great hopes, it is naturally because he believes you must have an extraordinary side."

"I shall be waiting for the day you spread the outposts of our Cangwu Merchant Guild across the lands of the Nine Nations!"

Hearing this, a surge of intense gratitude welled up within Jiang Shan once more.

The clan had trusted him in every way, spending money and effort to help him develop the merchant guild, and even caring about his personal safety.

All the clan's higher-ups had also kept proper measure, not coming to meddle or interfere in the internal affairs of the Cangwu Merchant Guild, giving him full authority, and creating no obstacles whatsoever!

With such a sensible family behind him.

How could he possibly fail?

At this moment, Jiang Hongguang slowly rose and clapped his hands together.
