Chapter 823

A clash between two Sons of Destiny?

Truly something to look forward to...

Jiang Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

What he looked forward to was not merely the clash, but the reward behind it.

After all, the previous two encounters with Sons of Destiny from other factions had triggered system quests, yielding generous rewards.

So what about this time?

Thinking of this, Jiang Daoxuan glanced at Hu Guang'an and said casually, "I am already aware of this matter. I will arrange for some clansmen to go take a look when the time comes."

Although this trial would surely attract the attention and curiosity of numerous Heaven-Man-level factions.

It still wasn't worth his personally making the trip.

Hu Guang'an cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Chief Jiang. When the time comes, my sect will naturally send people ahead to receive your clansmen and escort them over. I guarantee there will be no delay."

After speaking, his voice suddenly dropped considerably: "Speaking of which, there is one more matter here. However, it was not entrusted by the Sect Master, but by the Old Ancestor..."

Jiang Daoxuan grew interested: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Hu Guang'an steadied his mind and said in a low voice, "Before leaving the mountain, the Old Ancestor secretly found me and said that girl Zhiwei had been mentioning you in front of him, saying how remarkable you are, a peerless great hero of the world, saying that even compared to you, the Old Ancestor himself is far inferior."

At this point, he subconsciously glanced at the other's reaction.

Upon finding the other's expression unchanged, with no reaction whatsoever, he continued, "So the Old Ancestor became curious and specially instructed me to inform you: once the Sword Trial journey ends, he will personally come to Cangwu Mountain for a visit, wishing to share tea and discuss the sword with you..."

After speaking, his heart once again became immensely complicated.

How could he fail to see the Old Ancestor's little scheme of loving the house and the crow along with it?

Wasn't it simply seizing this chance to come to Cangwu and offer some guidance to Chief Jiang?

But Chief Jiang, who possessed the supreme attainments of a Sword King and was in no way inferior to the Old Ancestor — where would he still need anyone's guidance?

A sword Dao powerhouse of such a realm — looking across the entire Imperial Dynasty, not a single person should have the qualifications to instruct him!

At this moment, compared to Hu Guang'an's tangled thoughts, Jiang Daoxuan did not think so much.

He nodded and said in an exceedingly calm tone, "The name of the Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor, I have long heard of it. Since Zhiwei studies at the Heavenly Sword Sect and has received much care from him, as her elder, by every right of sentiment and reason, I ought to meet him."

Seeing his task complete, Hu Guang'an immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But very soon he grew troubled again.

Since Chief Jiang was already so powerful, and the Cangwu Jiang Clan clearly no longer needed his protection.

Then should he leave, or should he stay?

Jiang Daoxuan saw his difficulty at a glance: "Below Cangwu Mountain, there is a city of our clan. Commerce there is flourishing, and the forces of the Nine Kingdoms have often sent people to trade. In terms of scale, although it cannot rival the great cities of the Imperial Dynasty, it is still a decent place. If Fellow Daoist has interest, you may go there to rest."

The moment his words fell, Hu Guang'an hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "I understand. Thank you for your trouble, Chief Jiang."

Able to obey the Sect Master's command and stay in Great Qin, yet not needing to worry about staying on Cangwu Mountain too close to Chief Jiang and feeling immense pressure.

Then temporarily going to Cangwu City to rest for a period was undoubtedly the best choice at present.

Afterwards, Hu Guang'an did not dare linger. After a brief farewell, he immediately departed, heading toward Cangwu City at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the other's figure vanish from sight, Jiang Daoxuan leisurely withdrew his gaze. Then with a single thought, his right foot stepped out, and in an instant, he pierced through space and arrived within the vast Bai Yu Dao Arena!

He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began devoting all his energy to cultivation.

The pressing matter at hand was still to raise his own cultivation base and realm.

Only invincible strength could erase all risks and allow himself and his clan to endure for all eternity!
