Chapter 85: What Trouble Did He Stir Up?

"What did you say? Jie'er died?!"

Hearing Shangguan Cangwu's words, Shangguan Jiuyou's expression instantly lost its composure!

Shangguan Jie is far more than just the young master of the Shangguan Family!!

Simply because his mother's origin and identity are both extraordinarily remarkable!

The Boundless Immortal Realm is divided into four major regions: the Eastern Heaven Domain, Southern Heaven Domain, Western Heaven Domain, and Northern Heaven Domain!!

Each heavenly domain's range is immensely vast.

The Azure Expanse Continent is merely a continent within the Southern Heaven Domain of the Boundless Immortal Realm!!

Yet the entire Southern Heaven Domain is boundlessly vast, its starry expanse immense, and has been controlled since ancient times by the Three Supreme Clans!

They are the Ling Sky Clan, the Cang Sky Clan, and the Mu Sky Clan!

These three clans are all super existences with a peak Immortal King Realm overseer, truly mighty behemoths!

Each clan controls one domain, standing in a tripartite balance, and countless beings dare not defy them!

And Shangguan Jie's mother is the daughter of an elder of the Cang Sky Clan, one of the Three Supreme Clans, named Cang Lingjiao, whose status is transcendent!

Cang Lingjiao came to the Azure Expanse Continent's Spirit Ruins Heavenly Forbidden for training over twenty thousand years ago, met Shangguan Cangwu, they secretly developed affection, and after a night of wind and rain... Shangguan Jie was born!

Only afterward did Shangguan Cangwu learn of Cang Lingjiao's identity!

Cang Lingjiao's background is transcendent, while the Shangguan Family is merely a minor power within the Azure Expanse Continent.

Thus, Cang Lingjiao's father naturally refused to accept Shangguan Cangwu and his son Shangguan Jie!

Therefore, after giving birth to Shangguan Jie, Cang Lingjiao left him in the Azure Expanse Continent to be cared for and raised by Shangguan Cangwu!

And she would annually provide the Shangguan Family with an immensely abundant cultivation resource!

Thus, over twenty thousand years, the Shangguan Family rose in one fell swoop to become the hegemon of the Azure Expanse Continent.

Although Cang Lingjiao is not by Shangguan Jie's side, she dotes on him with deep affection, basically setting aside time each year to accompany him.

Whatever Shangguan Jie needs, she strives to fulfill, treating him as the treasure in her palm.

Shangguan Jie also became the top prodigy of the Azure Expanse Continent thanks to the abundant cultivation resources his mother bestows each year!!

But now, the treasure in Cang Lingjiao's palm, Shangguan Jie, has been killed by someone!!

Upon hearing this news, Shangguan Jiuyou felt both rage and a pounding heart!

Cang Lingjiao is indeed an extremely willful and domineering woman!

If she were to learn that her son Shangguan Jie was killed...

What would happen then?

I fear the entire Shangguan Family would have to bear her wrath!

I give you the Shangguan Family so many cultivation resources each year, yet you can't even protect my son properly!!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Jiuyou took a deep breath!

No wonder Shangguan Cangwu caused such a commotion!

Shangguan Jiuyou grabbed Shangguan Cangwu's hand and anxiously asked: "When did this happen? Who killed Jie'er? Where?"

Shangguan Cangwu opened his palm, and the image of a white-clad youth projected forth:

"Elder Ancestor, it's this white-clad youth, at the Spirit Ruins Heavenly Forbidden; at that time there were also three members of the Situ Family present!"

"One of them is Situ Wenyan's daughter, Situ Qingqing."

"But I don't know whether Situ Qingqing is allied with that white-clad youth!"

Shangguan Jiuyou's expression turned icy cold, his face resolute: "Regardless of whether they are allies, I'd rather mistakenly kill a thousand than let one escape!"

"After all, when Jie'er died, Situ Wenyan's daughter was nearby."

"Situ Wenyan's daughter likely knows some information about this white-clad youth; even a tiny bit would help."

"We'll directly move against Situ Star, then force Situ Wenyan to call his daughter back, and interrogate her one by one!"

"Furthermore, immediately issue a bounty order for this white-clad youth!"

"Anyone who can provide the white-clad youth's location information will be rewarded fifty million Immortal Stones by my Situ Family!"

"Anyone who can injure this white-clad youth will receive one hundred million Immortal Stones!"

"If anyone can kill this white-clad youth, my Situ Family will give him half of our fortune, one billion Immortal Stones!"

"Under such a massive bounty, on the Azure Expanse Continent, this white-clad youth will have no foothold!"

"As soon as there is any news of that white-clad youth, come inform me immediately; I will personally rush over to exterminate that white-clad brat!!"

Having spoken, Shangguan Jiuyou's body erupted with a mighty aura!

Shangguan Cangwu nodded: "Yes, Elder Ancestor!!"

Saying this, Shangguan Cangwu swept his gaze over the more than two hundred Immortal Lord Realm experts in the hall, reissuing the order:

"Shangguan Que, take a hundred Immortal Lords to surround all exits of Flowing Light Star, and along the way issue bounty orders!"

"Shangguan Long, you also summon the over fifty Immortal Lords stationed around Shangguan Star, add them to the previous hundred Immortal Lords, making a total of one hundred fifty Immortal Lords, and directly attack Situ Star!"

"Furthermore, all members of the Shangguan Family, whether abroad or at home, whether on duty or idle, must go search for the whereabouts of that white-clad youth!"

"Yes! Family Head!"

Shangguan Que and Shangguan Long said in unison.

"Go!" Shangguan Cangwu waved his hand!

Immediately afterward, the more than two hundred Immortal Lord Realm experts in the hall turned into streams of light and departed!

After everyone had left, Shangguan Jiuyou looked at Shangguan Cangwu and asked: "Has Lingjiao heard the news of Jie'er's death?"

"Elder Ancestor, I haven't dared to tell her yet." Shangguan Cangwu shook his head and sighed:

"Better to first kill that white-clad youth to avenge Jie'er, then tell her!"

"By then, perhaps her anger will have subsided somewhat!"

Shangguan Cangwu also understood; if he let Cangling Jiao know that Shangguan Jie had died, Cangling Jiao would surely come rushing over in fury!

If things go badly, the whole Shangguan Clan and he would likely be implicated!!

After all, Shangguan Cangwu is the head of the Shangguan Clan; although he would certainly feel terrible about his son's death, he does not want Cangling Jiao's anger to affect the Shangguan Clan.

"Mmm, thinking like that is naturally the best." Shangguan Jiuyou patted Shangguan Cangwu's shoulder: "Let's go, we shouldn't idle; let's go check out the Flowing Light Star Spirit Ruins Heavenly Forbidden, and we don't even know if that white-clad youth has left Flowing Light Star!"

……

Just as the Shangguan Clan was urgently offering a bounty for Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had already been respectfully guided into the main hall of the Situ residence by Situ Zhaohai and two others.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng sat beside the crystal table, and Situ Qingqing personally poured tea for him.

Situ Zhaohai personally went to summon the clan leader of the Situ family, Situ Wen yuan!

Soon after, Situ Zhaohai entered accompanied by a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man wore a scholar's robe and headscarf, bore a smile, and his every gesture was refined and genteel.

This person was the clan leader of the Situ family, Situ Wen yuan.

"Situ Clan Leader Situ Wen yuan greets you, Senior." Situ Wen yuan walked up to Li Zhangsheng and, facing the seated Li Zhangsheng sipping tea, performed a respectful salute!

When he arrived, Situ Zhaohai had already recounted Li Zhangsheng's deeds to Situ Wen yuan.

After hearing Li Zhangsheng's deeds and learning his purpose for coming to the Situ residence, Situ Wen yuan was naturally both astonished and delighted!

For someone of such stature, Situ Wen yuan certainly dared not be negligent.

"Please sit, I heard you know some news about my disciple Fang Han?" Li Zhangsheng idly played with a time-type supreme treasure purple clay pot, calmly:

"Tell me what you know, and this purple clay pot will be a gift to your Situ family."

"Yes, Senior!" Situ Wen yuan still wore a smile, clasped his hands in salute, sat opposite Li Zhangsheng, and asked: "May I ask your esteemed surname, Senior?"

"Li!" Li Zhangsheng said, taking a sip of tea.

"Ah, it's Senior Li." Situ Wen yuan watched Li Zhangsheng finish his tea, then refilled his cup:

"I never expected that fellow Daoist Fang Han would have a senior like you as his master; no wonder our Situ clan tried every way to recruit him back then, yet he remained unmoved!"

"Not long ago I went to Lingxiao Star to attend a conference, and I indeed heard some matters concerning fellow Daoist Fang Han!"

"However, the matter is quite involved, so I have instructed clan members not to discuss fellow Daoist Fang Han; I hope you will forgive me, Senior."

"It's nothing!" Li Zhangsheng's face remained calm: "That kid probably stirred up trouble again; go on, tell me what major mischief he's caused this time!"

Situ Wen yuan cautiously glanced around, then casually laid down a soundproof barrier.

Having done all that, Situ Wen yuan then said: "I've only heard rumors; I don't know if they're true or false."

"I heard from a longtime friend that fellow Daoist Fang Han has been involved with a concubine of the Ling Heavenly Clan's clan leader, who is at the peak of the Immortal King Realm..."

Pfft—

Upon hearing those words, the tea Li Zhangsheng had just taken into his mouth sprayed out directly.
