Chapter 601

Hearing this, Jiang Han recalled the purpose of his trip and immediately cupped his hands: "Clan Chief, your eyes are sharp as torches—I truly cannot hide anything from you."

"Returning to the mountain today, I have come mainly for one matter!"

The moment these words left his mouth, Jiang Chen's curiosity was immediately piqued.

He was very eager to know what matter of such great importance could have caused Jiang Han, who had been away from home for several months, to suddenly return to the mountain and come specifically to report to his uncle.

Jiang Daoxuan's gaze shifted slightly: "Speak and let me hear it."

Jiang Han quickly organized his words and said solemnly: "Clan Chief, have you ever heard of the Earth Demon Sect?"

The words fell.

Jiang Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, not knowing why the other party would suddenly bring this matter up.

Jiang Chen beside him was equally puzzled.

He could not help but say: "The name of the Earth Demon Sect is not only widely spread within the borders of our Tiandou Prefecture—even in other prefectures it is widely circulated as well. How could we not know of it?"

"Junior clansman, you suddenly mention this matter—could it be that you have been targeted by them? Do you need your elder brother's help? If it truly won't do, just speak it out and let the Clan Chief decide directly!"

"I would very much like to see how a mere little Earth Demon Sect dares to bully a person of our Cangwu Jiang Clan!"

Setting aside having the Clan Chief as his backing.

He himself was also a reincarnation of a powerhouse.

The clan's Spirit Beast Hall Master, Jiang Xiaobai, was moreover a Myriad Manifestations True Monarch of extremely powerful strength!

With these foundations as his reliance, he would not feel the slightest fear toward the Earth Demon Sect, nor would he retreat a single step!

And at this moment, as Jiang Chen's words fell.

Feeling the concern revealed in the other's words, Jiang Han could not help but feel a warmth in his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood just what it was that allowed this clansman of his to become the leading figure among the clan's younger generation, and to win the admiration and worship of countless clansmen!

It was a powerful personal charm like the rising sun, shedding grace upon all clansmen!

Such a person seemed born with the potential to become a leader!

Compared to him, Jiang Han could only feel somewhat ashamed of himself, as if cold darkness had touched warm sunlight, instinctively producing a sense of discomfort!

But upon thinking of the Earth Demon Sect's karmic ties with his own clan, he still shook his head and hurriedly cast this discomfort out of his mind.

He then hurriedly explained: "It is not so—rather, this Earth Demon Sect has an enormous connection with our Jiang Clan........."

Soon, Jiang Han told everything he knew.

The Earth Demon Sect's cult master had a blood resonance with him... the Jiang Clan branch of the Earth Demon Sect all resonated with him in the same way... he suspected that the other party and his own clan had belonged to the same family several hundred years ago.....

Later, the Earth Demon Sect's Third Protector had demanded that he return to Tiandou Prefecture and go to Cangwu City to gather intelligence on the Jiang Clan.

As Jiang Han spoke, he was also secretly watching the changes in the two men's expressions.

The Clan Chief's expression was composed, calm to a strange degree, as if he had long known of this matter.

And Jiang Chen, his clansman beside him, although appearing somewhat surprised, did not show it obviously.

It seemed that in his view, this matter was merely an ordinary trivial affair.

Hmm?

Jiang Han's brow furrowed slightly, greatly surprised.

The reactions of both men were beyond his expectations, something he had never anticipated!

At the same time, on the other side.

After hearing that the Earth Demon Sect's Jiang Clan and his own clan had likely belonged to the same family several hundred years ago.

Jiang Chen was first slightly startled, but quickly calmed down again.

After all, having learned from the Clan Chief that his own clan was an Imperial Clan, his capacity to accept things had long since far surpassed that of ordinary people!

The mere descendants of a demonic-path sect—compared to him, it clearly amounted to no great matter.

As for Jiang Daoxuan, his expression gradually became strange.

He had only just recently finished arranging the Heavenly Demon Sect people, dispatching all of them to serve under the Cangwu Commerce Guild.

And the Jiang Clan branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect was merged into the Star of Yao Branch.

Having done all this, he had not yet gone to inquire about the Earth Demon Sect's news.

He had not expected that Jiang Han, this junior clansman who had been out adventuring for several months, had already made contact with the Earth Demon Sect in advance.

What was even more coincidental was that the other's trip this time was also on orders to return home to investigate.

Ultimately letting him learn of all this.

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan could not help but sigh with emotion.

He sighed that such a fate was truly unfathomable.

"All things under heaven, everything has traces to follow—the threads of karma upon the myriad living beings, how numerous are they? For two of them to become entangled is no different than fishing a needle from the sea."

"A mere coincidence? In my view, not entirely so."

"It is likely still brought about by the clan's fortune, which allowed the people of the Earth Demon Sect to discover Han'er, thus planting the cause."

"Now that Han'er has returned to the mountain and I subdue the Earth Demon Sect, this is the effect!"

"Fortune, the Way of Cause and Effect—truly incomparably wondrous........"

Jiang Daoxuan smiled.

He then gathered his thoughts and looked at Jiang Han again.

"This is excellent, Han'er—your return to the mountain this trip has actually accomplished a great merit!"

"I had originally planned to wait a while longer before sending people to inquire about the Earth Demon Sect's news."

"But now, with your intelligence, these steps can be dispensed with."

"Simply send people to absorb them directly!"
