Chapter 9

Everyone felt at the same moment an overwhelming, suffocating pressure!

The pressure came swiftly and vanished just as quickly, reclaimed by Jiang Daoxuan in an instant.

When the Jiang family members around them regained their senses, the courtyard erupted like boiling water.

"Has the clan leader broken through to the Purple Mansion realm?"

"Hahaha! Our Jiang family now has a Purple Mansion cultivator to stand guard! Who dares to bully us now?"

"Fortune has finally turned—truly, our ancestors watch over us! At this moment of clan peril, a second Purple Mansion cultivator has arisen after centuries!"

"Now, the city governor is an imperial court official and won't interfere in clan disputes. But the Tang family's ancestral elder is ancient and near death—now, who can stand against our Jiang family's might?!"

For a moment, the entire courtyard rang with the joyful laughter of Jiang family youths.

It wasn't that they lacked composure—this was the Purple Mansion realm we're talking about!

Even though the Jiang family has stood in Wudan City for centuries, not one ancestor before had ever reached this realm.

A cultivator of this realm, if he went to the mighty Qianshan Sect, could be appointed Elder and entrusted with great responsibilities!

Even joining the imperial court, he could seize heavy authority and become lord of a distant city!

Such a powerful being has arisen again in our Jiang family—how could they not be exhilarated?

Even the usually composed Grand Elder could no longer maintain his calm, trembling with excitement.

His lips parted slightly as he murmured, "Fortune has finally turned—truly, fortune has finally turned..."

Under the fiery, reverent gazes of the crowd.

Jiang Daoxuan's expression remained unchanged; he simply pulled out a jet-black elixir from his person and handed it to the Grand Elder.

"All these years of toil have destabilized your foundation—take this Solidify-Origin Elixir and consume it..."
