Chapter 972

Facing Jiang Han's words, Jiang Yan smiled without speaking.

Even possessing all sorts of astonishing opportunities himself, he could still sense a feeling of danger emanating from the other party.

This was not something that could be explained away by merely dismissing it as insignificant.

However, he did not expose it.

After all, everyone has their own secrets; as long as they did not harm the clan, he did not care.

Then, Jiang Yan raised his wine cup high and clinked it against Jiang Han's.

Downing the liquor in one gulp, he casually said, "For over a year now, have you been training outside? I have never heard anyone discuss your name."

Jiang Han's eyes flickered with light as he softly replied, "Heh, I merely helped the clan complete some small tasks within my ability..."

Even though his relationship with the other party was quite good.

The matter of the Heavenly Demon Sect carried all sorts of hidden dangers.

Not to mention that he himself possessed the Huang Quan Demonic Art, a demonic inheritance that everyone had the right to execute!

Although looking across the Eastern Region, few people were now able to threaten the clan.

Yet once those Holy Lands in the Central Region learned of it, it would surely bring disaster upon the clan!

Therefore, it was best to avoid such troubles whenever possible.

After all, having fewer incidents is better than having more.

At this moment, seeing that Jiang Han was unwilling to voluntarily reveal details, Jiang Yan asked no further questions.

He refilled his wine cup and brought up another matter: "Then this time, how long do you plan to stay at home?"

Since the other party was often outside and deliberately concealed his identity.

It stood to reason that this return home would not be a long stay.

Jiang Han set down his wine cup and said in a deep voice, "Just for these few days; after the academy is established, I should be leaving..."

The establishment of the clan academy was such an important event that he naturally would not miss it.

And in order to conceal his identity, he did not appear in his original form.

Instead, he used a secret technique to disguise his appearance to how it looked before awakening the Huang Quan Demonic Body.

Fortunately, in the past, his actions were basically carried out using human-skin masks, so he had rarely shown his true face.

Therefore, as long as he did not expose his white-haired appearance and various famous methods, basically no one would recognize him.

Precisely because of this, he could confidently appear within the clan under the identity of Jiang Han.

Rather than as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, or the "Demon Lord" of the Cangling Demonic Realm!

At this, hearing Jiang Han's answer, Jiang Yan shook his head: "You are truly in a hurry; however, for the sake of the clan, you have worked hard..."

Although he was not clear on exactly what the other party was doing.

Yet over this past year, despite possessing the powerful strength to rank among the Cangwu Eight Elites, he was still willing to remain low-key and unwilling to become famous.

One could imagine just how great the other party's sacrifices had been.

"Worked hard?"

Jiang Han set down his wine cup, slightly raised his head, and gazed at the azure sky.

Feeling the gentle breeze blow past, he sniffed the fragrance of earth and green grass.

That belonged uniquely to Cangwu.

The scent uniquely belonging to "home"!

After a long silence.

Jiang Han murmured, "Where are there peaceful times? It is merely that someone is bearing the heavy burden and moving forward on their behalf..."

Before the fall of the Great Qin, everything he had done for the clan need not be mentioned for now.

After the fall of the Great Qin, he had helped "Cang Wang" Jiang Shan eliminate quite a few restless forces.

With every move resulting in the annihilation of entire sects and their whole families, his hands were stained with countless blood, provoking the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men, causing numerous powers to feel endangered!

Facing the anger of those powers and the confusion and incomprehension of his own subordinates, from beginning to end, his heart had never wavered in the slightest!

He still acted according to his own will, drawing successive curses and spittle from countless cultivators!

And everything he had done was for one single matter.

That was to become the common enemy of all noble families and sects within the Cangling Dynasty...

Only by becoming a common enemy could these forces honestly unite together, seek Jiang Shan's protection, willingly serve him, in order to resist himself!

Only by becoming a common enemy could the situation within the Cangling Dynasty become unprecedentedly stable, with no power daring to cause trouble at will!

He had always believed.

To truly unite numerous powers in the shortest time and maintain that unity for long, there was only one method.

That was to give them a sufficiently powerful common enemy!

Regarding this point, he had succeeded.
