Chapter 846

Ding Xuan came to his senses.

He looked at his family, an involuntary smile touching the corners of his mouth: "A great joy."

"After lying low for so long, this father can finally do something truly useful for the Clan Leader, my lord..."

He had long wished to serve the Jiang family directly.

Yet, forced by circumstances, he could only act against his heart, openly serving the Great Qin imperial court as the Prefect of Tiandou Prefecture.

But now, with news arriving from Clan Head Jiang Shan, he instantly understood that his opportunity had finally come.

Once the Great Qin was overturned, he would no longer need to perform such acts against his conscience; he could serve the Jiang family openly and righteously.

Moreover, relying on his merits, he was certain to rise steadily through the ranks.

And the position of Prefect was by no means his final destination!

Thinking of this, he dared not delay; he immediately turned, walked to his study, picked up brush and paper, and began writing a letter.

The letter's content was to summon those Prefects with whom he shared deep ties to gather in Wudan City.

As for the purpose, to prevent accidents, it was not stated explicitly within the letter.

As various parties responded one after another.

A corner of Jiang Shan's grand plan was finally revealed.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

On this day, Hu Guang'an, an Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had stayed in Cangwu City for a long time, suddenly brought a middle-aged man and stepped onto Cangwu Mountain.

With instructions from the clan's high echelons, the clansmen guarding the mountain did not block them.

Hu Guang'an entered smoothly.

Knowing that Clan Head Jiang had handed over affairs to the Council of Elders.

He went to the Elder Hall at the first opportunity.

After meeting the First Elder, Jiang Hongguang.

Hu Guang'an immediately cupped his fists and stated his purpose: "Our Ancestral Master is leading Zhiwei on a sword trial tour of the various sects; it has now reached the final stage. In three days, they will arrive at the Heart Sword Sect."

Speaking to this point, his voice paused slightly.

He immediately signaled with his eyes to the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man understood at once and immediately looked at Jiang Hongguang.

Although he himself possessed a cultivation base at the Primordial Spirit realm, far surpassing the other.

Yet in his heart, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

One must know that since the earth-shattering event from two months ago spread, all powers throughout the Moonlight Hua Empire dared not underestimate the Cangwu Jiang family in the least.

Jiang Family Clan Head Jiang Daoxuan, by his own strength, suppressed numerous Primordial Spirit experts!

Furthermore, during that time, he displayed terrifying attainments seemingly at the level of a perfected Sword King!

His physical body was so strong he could bare-handedly block a heaven-tier magic treasure, making him seem like a body-refining cultivator at the Heavenly Man level!

Such a terrifying existence, were he to go to the Moonlight Hua Empire, would certainly rank among the supreme experts!

Although it was unknown why he would willingly dwell in a remote corner, staying within the tiny Great Qin Dynasty.

There was no doubt that in the eyes of these cultivators, this Jiang Family Clan Head had become even more mysterious and unfathomable, absolutely not to be offended!

Recalling all this, the middle-aged man lowered his voice and spoke politely: "Greetings, Daoist friend."

"I am Ji Chang, an Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect; on this occasion, by order of our Sect Master, I have come specifically to your honored land to escort the selected observers to the Heart Sword Sect. May I ask, Daoist friend, has your noble clan chosen its observers?"

Jiang Hongguang stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "They were chosen long ago; allow me to notify them."

Ji Chang's eyes flickered, his face full of curiosity.

He wondered which talents the Cangwu Jiang family would send to depart with him this time.

He had already learned much important intelligence from his old friend Hu Guang'an in advance.

Among it were the deeds of the Cangwu Eight Elites.

Only now did he learn that his clan's little ancestor was actually not the Jiang family's strongest genius, but merely one of these Cangwu Eight Elites.

And Jiang Chen, the peerless monster fought over by various Heavenly Man-level powers to join their sects, was also one of them.

Seeing one spot reveals the whole leopard.

From Jiang Zhiwei and Jiang Chen, he realized just how high the value of these Cangwu Eight Elites truly was!

Precisely because of this, a strong sense of anticipation secretly arose in Ji Chang's heart.

He wondered which of the Cangwu Eight Elites the Jiang family would send to leave with him.

If these few felt quite good about his own sect and chose to stay after the sword trial ended to train in their Heavenly Sword Sect, that would truly be a tremendous blessing!

Just as Ji Chang was still immersed in fantasies of a bright future.

Jiang Hongguang beside him had already taken out the Cangwu Token, opened it, and quickly found a clan group named "Sword Trial Observers."

Including himself, there were six people in total.

Jiang Hongguang did not choose to send messages one by one.

Instead, he clicked on everyone's avatar, copied the clan number, and notified all members with one button, telling them to hurry to the Elder Hall to assemble.

At the family plaza.

A young man wearing a green long robe was lying on the ground taking a nap.

Sensing a strange vibration from the token at his waist, he slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

Yawning, he picked up the Cangwu Token to check the message.

Seeing it was a message from the First Elder, the sleepiness in the young man's eyes vanished completely, becoming incredibly sharp.

"Has it finally come? The Moonlight Hua Empire is truly something to look forward to..."

The young man swayed as he rose and walked toward the Elder Hall.

His name is Jiang Beiye; he bears the legacy of the ancient sect "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect" and is also one of the Eight Elites of Cangwu.

At the residence of the Tianquan lineage.

Within a certain courtyard.

A cool breeze blew gently, and yellow leaves drifted down.

A middle-aged man with a refined demeanor leaned his back against an old, withered tree.

Clutched against his chest was a short wooden sword that appeared exceedingly crude.

In his hand, he held the Cangwu Token.

Gazing at the message within.

The middle-aged man's expression grew exceedingly complex, his brows knit with lingering sorrow.

His name is Jiang Daoping, an elder of the Tianquan lineage.

And besides this identity, he is also Jiang Zhi's... father.
