Chapter 843: The Jiang Clan... Defying Heaven?

She really wanted to say, "The ignorant fear nothing—do you truly not know how powerful a Celestial-grade faction is?"

But the words reached her lips, and, mindful of Jiang Xuanji's face, she finally held them back.

Jiang Shan noticed this and instantly understood that the other party still found it hard to set their mind at ease.

He expressed his understanding of this.

After all, having lived in the Jade Purity Sect for many years, the image of the Jade Purity Sect's might had long since sunk deep into people's hearts.

To overturn such a mindset would by no means be accomplished in a day.

So Jiang Shan advised, "Miss, since you have come to Cangwu, just rest and recuperate in peace. There is no need to worry about other matters for now. Just stay here a few days—use your eyes to look, use your heart to feel—and I believe you will know that what we say is not false....."

Although Bai Bingyun still could not quite understand where everyone's confidence came from, she did not argue further.

She knew the other party was right.

Her own understanding of the Jiang clan of Cangwu was still far too shallow.

Then, during this period, she would carefully take it all in.

She would see what marvels this Jiang clan of Cangwu truly possessed, and whether the clan chief everyone spoke of truly wielded such earth-shattering might!

Seeing that Bai Bingyun no longer intended to leave, Jiang Xuanji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he looked toward Jiang Shan and asked, curious, "I wonder what brings the Guild Leader here today?"

Jiang Shan's expression grew solemn.

He did not choose to answer the question at once.

Instead, he first glanced at Jiang Ming beside him.

Seeing the other's nod of assent, he then opened his mouth and laid out the purpose of his visit.

To overthrow Great Qin..... establish a new dynasty..... and have himself appointed commander of an army.....

Gradually, Jiang Xuanji's brows drew tight, a look of inner struggle crossing his face.

He lifted his head slightly, his gaze settling on Jiang Ming and Jiang Shan.

His eyes swept over them, and he found it hard to make up his mind.

After all, he had served under both of them, and the bonds between them ran deep.

But his trials were already enough, and life in Purple Mysterious Grotto-Heaven was, in the end, far too mundane.

And such days were, in the end, not what he wanted.....

Jiang Ming, reading Jiang Xuanji's inner struggle, suddenly spoke up: "After several months of development, Purple Mysterious Grotto-Heaven has now gotten on track and is stable. Cousin Xuanji, you possess great talent and harbor vast ambitions. I cannot, out of selfish motives, stand in the way of your future. If you wish to go, then go."

"As for Purple Mysterious City, you need not worry. When the time comes, I will apply to the Elder Council to find a clansman to take over your post. If you miss the place, you may come back to visit whenever you wish....."

At this point, his voice paused briefly: "As for your sister-in-law, she may temporarily remain here in Purple Mysterious Grotto-Heaven."

"The City Lord's Manor has no shortage of empty rooms. If you do not mind, she may stay there for now and rest peacefully while carrying the child."
