Chapter 793

This time, I was entrusted by the Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Wang Xiaoxin, as well as by the Ancestor's decree.

Thus, I have come to Da Qin to guard the Jiang family of Cangwu, preventing other factions from suppressing them and disrupting Jiang Zhiwei's cultivation.

After all, this girl Jiang Zhiwei is a junior the Ancestor holds in the highest regard.

Indeed, without exaggeration, her cultivation path is entirely modeled after that of a successor—the next Sect Master!

Such an important disciple's family naturally requires careful care.

Logically speaking, with his strength, in this tiny corner of the world, he is more than enough to crush all threats!

But now it seems, there may be some complications.

Hu Guang'an's eyes grew thoughtful.

He suddenly realized that this journey to the Cangwu Jiang family might not be as smooth as he had imagined.

"Sigh, I hope I'm just overthinking things…"

Hu Guang'an shook his head and instantly cast all chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Immediately, he activated his teleportation technique, preparing to fly toward the direction of the Cangwu Jiang family at even greater speed!

Since he had already found the Nine Kingdoms map in the sect's scripture library, locating Mount Cangwu was no longer difficult.

As for the map's timeliness, there was no need to worry.

After all, these factions almost every hundred years send disciples to various regions to observe and map the land.

Not long after.

Zi Xuan Cave Heaven.

Zi Xuan City, Governor's Mansion.

A young man with a resolute face sat in meditation here.

He wore a black-and-red battle armor, crowned with a red hairpin, his long hair tied into a tail.

Before him lay a spear, entirely black, its haft carved with a coiled black dragon, its tassel crimson as blood, its blade triple-edged and unnervingly sharp; when sunlight struck it, the glare radiated with terrifying majesty!

Jiang Ming gazed at the spear before him as if it were his own child.

"Dragon's Courage Spear—a Saintly Weapon's power—truly lives up to its name…"

This spear was named: Dragon's Courage.

It was recently bestowed upon him by the Clan Lord, in recognition of his service guarding Zi Xuan Cave Heaven!

Along with it came the Heaven-Class battle armor he now wore.

With the enhancement of these two powerful magic treasures, plus the perfected spear intent he had recently comprehended, his strength had surged once more!

Moreover, Jiang Ming had a faint premonition: the opportunity to comprehend the Spear Heart and ascend to the rank of Spear King would come within these few months.

"Spear King realm? In the past, that was a distant term."

"But now, it is within reach—the mystery of the Spear Heart is truly something to look forward to…"

Just as Jiang Ming sighed in contemplation,

A heavy footstep sounded outside the door.

Jiang Ming heard the noise and turned at once.

Before him stood a muscular young man.

Thick black hair, eyebrows like swords, naturally commanding authority!

This man was none other than Zi Xuan City's Deputy Governor, Jiang Xuanji!

Jiang Ming nodded, assuming the man had come as usual to report duties.

But this time, it was different.

After bowing, Jiang Xuanji immediately stated his purpose: "My Lord, I wish to temporarily leave Zi Xuan Cave Heaven—please grant permission!"

Within Zi Xuan Cave Heaven, all conduct must follow the orders of the Guardian.

Even the Seven Line Masters and Elder Council from outside may not interfere!

Of course, Clan Lord Jiang Daoxuan is an exception.

For among all Jiang clan members,

The principle that the Clan Lord stands above all is deeply ingrained—no one dares question or alter it!

Hearing Jiang Xuanji's request, Jiang Ming felt a flicker of confusion.

He was not reluctant to let his deputy leave; he was merely curious.

After all, the man had just returned from an outside journey several days ago.

How soon now? To leave again? If there was no trickery, who would believe it?

Thinking this, Jiang Ming frowned and asked: "What is your purpose in leaving this time?"

Jiang Xuanji understood that his recent departures had indeed been too frequent.

But this time, he had an absolute necessity to leave!!

Considering they were family, and that Jiang Ming was his superior, he chose not to conceal the truth and spoke directly:

"My Lord, I leave for my wife!"

My wife?

Wait!

Jiang Ming was stunned: "I recall you're still unmarried, aren't you?"

Jiang Xuanji scratched his head, embarrassed but determined to get permission, he laid out his recent experience in full.

As Jiang Ming gradually learned the full story, his expression grew increasingly strange.

All of this began with Jiang Xuanji's last departure from Zi Xuan Cave Heaven.

After leaving Mount Cangwu, he encountered an accident: several practitioners from the Hehuan Sect had cornered a severely wounded young woman, intending to seize her on the spot as a cultivation consort.

Seeing this scene, how could he, who prided himself on righting wrongs and drawing his blade to help, bring himself to stand by and do nothing?

Moreover, the Hehuan Sect was notorious within the territory of Great Qin, a target everyone was eager to punish, so he felt not the slightest burden in his heart.

Thus, he immediately chose to act, slaying this group of Hehuan Sect cultivators and rescuing the woman in distress.
