Chapter 585

"However, to dare impersonate a member of the Cangwu Jiang family within Cangwu City itself — you truly don't know whether you're alive or dead, what a massive doggish nerve!"

Hearing this, Jiang Han's brows knit tightly, and his heart grew increasingly irritated.

But at the same time, a thick wave of doubt suddenly welled up within him.

Why is the other party so certain that I am not a member of the Cangwu Jiang family?

Thinking of this, Jiang Han could not help but say, "On what grounds does Your Excellency say such a thing?"

Huang Tianqiang was so furious that he laughed instead.

He glanced around at his surroundings.

Then he extended a finger, pointing straight at Jiang Han.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he declared loudly, "Everyone says that every member of the Cangwu Jiang family — apart from those young children who cannot read — is issued a Cangwu Token!"

"Even those who marry into the Cangwu Jiang family from outside, or outside-surname retainers, are qualified to receive a Cangwu Token of their very own!"

"Yet this fellow keeps claiming he is a member of the Cangwu Jiang family, but he doesn't even possess a single Cangwu Token that could prove his identity — is that not laughable?"

Having spoken, Huang Tianqiang could not help but mock, "Just the likes of you, and you dare call yourself a member of the Cangwu Jiang family? You can't even fake it properly — stop trying to put gold on your own face!"

The moment his words fell, the surrounding onlookers instantly realized what was going on!

"That's right, I've run into members of the Cangwu Jiang family many times here in Cangwu City, but each of them had a Cangwu Token issued by the clan hanging at their waist."

"Yet on this youth, I haven't seen a single Cangwu Token at all — is that not suspicious and strange?!"

"Every clansman of the Cangwu Jiang family wears precious robes, enough to withstand at the very least a slash from a Huang Jie weapon — but his clothing is so plain, how could he possibly have any connection to the Cangwu Jiang family?"

"He's probably just some destitute, down-and-out loose cultivator. Now that he claims to be a member of the Cangwu Jiang family, he must be doing it to avoid the Huang family's accountability, choosing in his desperation to wrap himself in a tiger's skin, right?"

"Sigh, it's just a pity this youth isn't clever enough. The name of the Cangwu Jiang family is certainly handy, but a Cangwu Token isn't easy to come by — he might as well have disguised himself as a member of some Sun Wheel noble house, and he wouldn't have been exposed so quickly…"

In recent days.

As the fame of the Cangwu Jiang family grew ever greater.

More and more people, in order to take advantage and grab a bargain.

Would, within Cangwu City or in other cities, borrow the identity of the Cangwu Jiang family to swindle food and drink. At first, no one could detect whether they were genuine or fake, or dared to verify the other party's authenticity, unless sufficient evidence was obtained.

After all, if it turned out to be fake, at most one would only lose a trifling, painless bit of resources.

But if it turned out to be real, after a round of verification one would easily offend the other party, thereby earning the enmity of the Cangwu Jiang family.

Precisely because of this, these counterfeits grew ever more rampant.

However, as the Cangwu Jiang family spread the Cangwu Token widely.

The good days of these counterfeits also came to an end.

More and more cultivators came to learn that every member of the Cangwu Jiang family held a Cangwu Token.

And because the Cangwu Token could not be counterfeited, it became an important credential for distinguishing the true identity of Cangwu Jiang family clansmen!

On the other side.

Hearing Huang Tianqiang's words, Jiang Han's eyes grew thoughtful, and he felt somewhat puzzled.

A Cangwu Token? What is that?

Before I left home, I had never even heard of such a thing…

Because time was pressing, and he had left the Earth Demon Sect in a great hurry.

So he had only roughly learned about some of the major matters at home before rushing headlong to Cangwu City.

And thus had not come across any information related to the Cangwu Token.

However, this didn't really matter.

Since I have no Cangwu Token and cannot prove my identity, then I'll just leave.

Jiang Han shook his head, immediately turned around, prepared to leave, unwilling to keep entangling himself with these people.

However, he had only just lifted his right foot.

Huang Tianqiang behind him was far from pleased: "Heh, your cover blown and you still think you can leave?"

"You hurt my man — you think you can walk away?"

Having spoken, he hurriedly turned his head, looking toward the old man beside him:

"Grand-Uncle, the Huang family's face cannot be lost — I beg you to act and seize this boy!"

"It just so happens that this fellow is impersonating a member of the Cangwu Jiang family. Once we teach him a lesson, we'll drag him to the City Lord's residence and hand him over to City Lord Jiang for disposal!"
