Chapter 571: Ma Ling’er Severely Injured, The Former Jiang Family
In just ten breaths, the so-called Little God of Wealth, Ma Ling’er, was severely injured by the numerous villagers, barely managing to hold on.
Seeing that she was left with only a breath of life, the villagers finally stopped their assault.
The reason for such a rapid defeat was not that Ma Ling’er was weak, but rather that her enemies were too many and too strong.
Over a hundred villagers, almost all of whom had considerable cultivation levels.
Ten at the Lamp of Life Realm, ten at the Divine Realm, and ten at the Immortal Sovereign Realm.
Although the rest were weaker in cultivation, they were all quite young and could be considered geniuses.
“Is she dead? If not, why is she just lying there?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er forced herself to swallow a Dan and then shakily got up.
Looking at Ma Ling’er, who could barely stand, Chen Changsheng grinned and asked, “What do you think about the battle just now?”
“The Xiancha had its own considerations for the arrangement. Ling’er doesn’t dare to have any complaints.”
“I know you have grievances in your heart,” Chen Changsheng replied with a click of his tongue. “But that’s just how things are.”
“In the outside battle, they hit us like this, and we hit them back the same way.”
“Assuming one day you really step onto the battlefield, your elders might shield you from some experts, but they can’t cover for you completely.”
“The situation is just like just now. I held back seven experts at the Celestial Fairy Realm, but the rest you need to deal with yourself.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er raised her bloodied face and said, “Xiancha, is it always like this outside?”
“What else?”
“Why do the names of Sword God and Demon Emperor sound so resounding? It’s earned step by step.”
“In a real battlefield, no one engages in single combat with you; if they can group assault, they will, and if not, they’ll use underhanded tactics.”
“The legends you know exist because they dealt with countless group assaults and schemes, which is why they became famous.”
“I injured their people, and they don’t dare to retaliate.”
“That’s because I once made them unable to rise after being hit; they dare to be harsh with you only because you haven’t subdued them yet.”
Just then, the old man appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.
“Please!”
Seeing this, a smile curved Chen Changsheng’s lips as he said, “You’re quite perceptive; lead the way.”
Chen Changsheng followed behind the old man, with Xu Yao and others naturally hurrying to keep up.
This was because the surrounding villagers had a look that was almost savage.
……
Chen Changsheng walked slowly, but Jian Fei behind him grew increasingly uneasy.
From his years of experience mingling in the cultivation world, he sensed that something bad was likely to happen next.
“Xiancha, is there a first-rate force in the Nine Domains called the Jiang Family? Is there a relation between the two Jiang Families?”
“Of course there is a relation; they are indeed one family.”
“The two Jiang Families, one light and one dark, the Jiang Family in the Nine Domains supports me, while the Jiang Family here opposes me.”
“This method is commonly used by large forces, as they don’t put all their eggs in one basket. Regardless of how the Crimson Realm changes, the Jiang Family’s fire can always be preserved.”
“However, this place is the true ‘root’ of the Jiang Family, and to understand some situations, one naturally needs to come here for answers.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao spoke up, “Xiancha, is this Jiang Family the same as the one in the Three Thousand Continents?”
Upon this, Chen Changsheng glanced at Xu Yao and smiled, “This is indeed the Jiang Family of the Three Thousand Continents.”
“Currently, I’m in a good mood and will fill you in on the history of the Battle of Extinction.”
“The Three Thousand Continents were considered the Upper Realm, and naturally, there was a Lower Realm corresponding to it.”
“In the Lower Realm, there were three great sacred grounds—Kunlun, Yaotai, and Purple House. Huangtian Emperor’s partner was the Purple House Sacred Lord.”
“These three sacred grounds represent the powers of the major families of the Upper Realm’s Three Thousand Continents.”
“And the greatest obstacle for Huangtian Emperor back then was the Holy Sovereign Jiang Bufan of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“In the end, Huangtian Emperor bore the Heavenly Mandate, which naturally indicated Jiang Bufan’s defeat. If it weren’t for someone obstructing, I would have nearly extinguished the Purple House Sacred Ground in one breath.”
“It was because of this matter that I forged an enmity with the Jiang Family.”
“Additionally, at that time, there were four major races in the Upper Realm—the Human, Demon, Beast, and Divine clans.”
“The Beast Clan was extinguished by the Humans, Divine Clan, Demons, and me joining forces, while those that remained were integrated into the Demon Clan.”
“With the Beast Clan resolved, I still had some enemies left—specifically, the Human and Divine clans, while the Demon Clan sided with me.”
“My current ability to stand tall here proves that I won, and the Demon Clan also won.”
“After the Demon Emperor bore the Heavenly Mandate, you should have heard of that dark history where he drained the resources of the Demon Clan, and the Divine and Human clans were almost driven mad by him.”
“And then came the Battle of Extinction, which eventually shaped the current Nine Domains.”
“Through these two major upheavals, the reserves of the Human, Divine, and Demon clans were almost entirely depleted. However, over twenty thousand years ago, when the Phoenix Emperor and others first emerged, I came to clean house once again.”
“Since then, those old geezers have been thoroughly wiped out, or else how could you enjoy the blissful times you have now?”
“Gulp!”
After listening to Chen Changsheng, the three struggled to swallow.
Though he spoke casually, anyone with a bit of sense could hear the bl**d and gore behind it.
“Sir, then why are they still alive?”
Jian Fei glanced at the old man ahead.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng chuckled, “Because they are smart. Ever since I dealt with the Beast Clan, they realized the trend was irreversible.”
“So they chose to comply obediently. At that time, I was in need of hands, so I didn’t go for total annihilation, which is why I let them go.”
“During the dark period of the Demon Emperor, they even abandoned their old ways to save their skins, leaving behind some embers to lie low.”
“At present, those remaining embers formed the two Jiang Families, which are one bright and one dark.”
Just as he was saying this, the old man led Chen Changsheng to the entrance of a cave.
Looking at the cave before him, Chen Changsheng casually said, “I’ll go in to catch up; you guys wait outside.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng and the old man entered the cave.
Once the two figures had completely vanished, Jian Fei, drenched in cold sweat, said, “Run!”
Hearing this, Xu Yao asked in confusion, “Run from what?”
“Sir is setting a trap for us. If we don’t run, our fate won’t be any better.”
“What trap are you talking about? What are you saying?”
Facing Xu Yao’s words, Jian Fei cautiously surveyed the surroundings.
“My master is a Demon Cultivator; following him, I’ve seen too many dark schemes.”
“To trap someone, you must first make them lower their guard. The tone Sir just used was too gentle—there’s something wrong.”
“Moreover, there’s one situation you young ladies must not overlook; the Jiang Family fears Sir, not us three.”
“We three are under Sir’s command; if the Jiang Family doesn’t dare to touch Sir, do you think they would touch us?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ling’er’s mouth twitched, for the recent scene left a mark on her for life.
“Does the Jiang Family still dare to k*ll?”
“The Jiang Family indeed doesn’t dare to k*ll, but if a scenario like just now plays out a few more times, they’d dare.”
As soon as the words fell, numerous villagers emerged from the surroundings.
Jian Fei: “……”
It was indeed as he thought; you truly don’t take people seriously!
