Chapter 209: Jiang Die Breaks Free (Part Three)

“Ah!”

A scream escaped Jiang Die’s lips.

Jiang Die had finally broken free from the seal; no matter how powerful a seal, it would weaken with the fall of its user.

Besides, Jiang Ding Tian had yet to reach the realm where one can perish but the Dao remains eternal.

Blood covered her body.

Exhausted.

Jiang Die knelt on the ground, bracing herself with her hands, trembling uncontrollably.

Recovery, she needed to recover.

But she dared not recover in this place, for she had no idea when Jiang Ding Tian would return.

If he came back and she hadn’t escaped yet, she would have no hope of getting away.

Mustering her spirit, Jiang Die tapped a few times on her battered body, unleashing all her potential in that moment.

She didn’t feel the pain, and her combat strength was restored to its optimum state.

However, this method would undoubtedly have severe side effects later on.

But Jiang Die couldn’t care less about herself.

She slipped out of the secret chamber, her aura weakened to the extreme. Just as she emerged, she heard those piercing screams.

Exclamations came one after another.

“Elder!”

“Family Head!”

The wailing voices were filled with despair.

Jiang Die?

Originally planning to leave directly, Jiang Die paused, her expression shifting between gloom and brightness.

What was happening?

Why such painful sounds?

Furthermore, apart from the screams, there was not a single strong presence in the entire Jiang Family.

Something was very wrong with the Jiang Family right now.

Jiang Die gritted her teeth and cautiously made her way towards the source of the cries.

The door to the ancestral hall swung open.

Jiang Die’s pupils suddenly constricted.

All the young members of the Jiang Family were weeping in front of the ancestral hall, unable to accept this reality, and for a moment, they didn’t even realize Jiang Die was there.

The soul lanterns went out?

All extinguished?

A look of wild joy appeared on Jiang Die’s face, but halfway through, she suddenly recalled that this group seemed to have perished at Lu Ye’s hands, and her smile faded.

Forget it, not worth thinking about.

First, to loot the Jiang Family treasury!

Jiang Die quietly left, entering the Jiang Family treasury. To her surprise, at least three Return to One Realm experts were supposed to guard it, and now there wasn’t a single shadow around.

Many treasures were indeed protected by formations, but Jiang Die broke all the formations she could and took everything she could carry, then rushed into the Alchemy Pavilion, gathering all the resources she needed.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a massive rumble echoed.

A Return to One Realm expert cloaked in black mist had appeared, attacking the Jiang Family’s great formation.

One could only say his reaction speed was notably quick; learning of the Jiang Family’s fallen experts, he thought to loot them immediately.

However, the formation had already activated.

The defensive formation of the Jiang Family was not so easily breached.

Even he, a Return to One Realm expert, would need a long time to break through with all his might.

“Damn it, that was quick!”

The Return to One Realm expert cursed angrily.

But this did not deter him from continuing to bombard the formation. Given that there were no experts in the Jiang Family, he was curious to see how long the formation could hold out.

The younger generation of the Jiang Family, hearing the rumbling, could not afford to grieve. They wiped their tears and rushed towards the formation’s base to ensure its integrity.

They were aware: the coming test for the Jiang Family was upon them. Their chance of survival rested on how long this formation could endure. The longer it held, the greater their chances of not being entirely annihilated.

The Jiang Family had allies.

Eternal Order Sect and the Wang Family were both allies of the Jiang Family. Although all the strong fighters from the Jiang Family in the Third Heaven were gone, in the Fourth Heaven, Fifth Heaven, and so on, the three factions supported each other.

The Jiang Family in the Third Heaven faced calamity, and the other two factions wouldn’t just stand by; otherwise, it would be unacceptable in the Fourth Heaven.

Jiang Die’s expression darkened.

A Return to One Realm expert?

Then her hopes of escaping might just shatter.

Did the others in the Jiang Family really not know she was imprisoned by Jiang Ding Tian?

Did they know? Did it even matter? Because within the formation, she was the strongest.

Besides, her understanding of the formation was definitely deeper than anyone else’s. If she helped the Jiang Family survive this disaster, the position of Family Head would still be hers.

At that time, all of the Jiang Family’s resources would be rightfully hers to use!

First, recovery!

Jiang Die sat cross-legged, popping a precious alchemical pill into her mouth to begin healing her injuries.

Almost just two minutes later, a second Return to One Realm expert, clad in red and indistinct in form, arrived. The two Return to One Realm experts exchanged glances.

Without any communication, they tacitly refrained from attacking each other and continued their furious assault on the formation. With both Return to One Realm fighters joining forces, the Jiang Family’s great formation began to ripple.

In this world, there were plenty of clever people.

At this moment, Lu Ye was on his way.

The attacks continued.

Soon, a third Return to One Realm expert appeared.

“You dare attack the Jiang Family now? Don’t you fear that when you reach the Fourth Heaven, the Jiang Family will settle the score with you?” Jiang Tianxin shouted in anger.

No one paid her any mind.

They had come this far; how could they not consider the possibility of repercussions?

Still, settling scores would require finding out who had acted first.

Once they broke the formation, would the Jiang Family still have any survivors?

Of course not!

Therefore, today, the Jiang Family must be eradicated!

The fifth and sixth Return to One Realm experts appeared.

They sought to eliminate the Jiang Family before the Eternal Order Sect and the Wang Family could react.

Of course, it was possible that one or more of these six Return to One Realm experts were from the Eternal Order Sect or the Wang Family.

Everyone was hiding their identities; who could really say for sure what kind of monsters were lurking?

Cracks began to appear in the foundations of the formation.

The younger generation of the Jiang Family had no idea what to do.

Despair shrouded their hearts.

Was the Jiang Family really going to be utterly destroyed today?

“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die! I could become a top expert in the future; I could achieve the Great Emperor Dao!”

Someone broke down, crying out.

Hmm… actually, only those who were led by Lu Ye could really say they wanted to become a Great Emperor.

“From now on, everyone listen to me!”

Jiang Die finally appeared, speaking loudly.

Numerous gazes turned toward her.

“The first thing we need to do is replace the formation foundations. I’ve found a new formation foundation in the Formation Pavilion; fill it with Spirit Stones and change it out!”

“Immediately. If you don’t want to die, everyone get moving!”

“Second, contact the Fourth Heaven at once, have the upper realm reach out to the Eternal Order Sect and Wang Family, demanding that the Third Heaven’s Eternal Order Sect and Wang Family come to our rescue!”

“Third, awaken the ancestral artifact!”

“Jiang Tianxin, immediately take thirty elite members to replace the foundation. You’re in charge of the entire replacement process—can you do that?” Jiang Die asked, her voice powerful and commanding.

Jiang Tianxin’s lips moved.

She understood this was a moment of life and death.

“Yes!”

“Good!”

“Jiang Qingyun, you go contact the upper realm. You know how to get in touch, right?”

“I don’t know…”

“Go to the ancestral hall and light the Heavenly Incense; three sticks can connect to the upper realm!”

“Everyone else, follow me to summon the ancestral artifact!”

Everything was going smoothly.
