Chapter 126: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From then on, all the demonic cultivators who caused trouble here died.
After Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan put away the storage bags of Gu Ling and the others, Shen Baifei and Xiong Wandao rushed over.
The two of them were still in disbelief.
They did not expect that a Violet Palace Realm demonic cultivator and five demonic cultivators above the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm would actually die in the hands of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan just like that.
“Ruyan, Chengxuan, your current cultivation…?”
Shen Baifei couldn’t help but ask.
Even though he already knew that she had broken through to the Violet Palace Realm.
However, at this moment, he still wanted to hear the answer for himself.
And Jiang Chengxuan.
Facing two late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm demonic cultivators, not only did Jiang Chengxuan easily deal with them, but he also broke the other party’s Dharma artifact barehanded.
This strength was clearly not supposed to come out of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
“Yes.”
At this moment, Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded at Shen Baifei.
“That’s right. My cultivation is currently at the Violet Palace Realm.”
Hearing the answer from Shen Ruyan, Shen Baifei and Xiong Wandao both smiled with a look of joy on their faces.
Shen Baifei was so excited that he nodded repeatedly and said, “Good, good, good. Our Shen family finally has another Violet Palace Realm cultivator!”
As he spoke, he and Xiong Wandao turned their gazes to Jiang Chengxuan expectantly.
However, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and shook his head at them. “Third Uncle, Brother Xiong, don’t look at me like that. 1 haven’t broken through to the Violet Palace Realm.”
“Uh…”
Shen Baifei and Xiong Wandao looked a little embarrassed.
Indeed.
How could it be so easy to break through to the Violet Palace Realm?
In decades, the Shen family only managed to see a new Violet Palace Realm cultivator like Shen Ruyan.
However, they weren’t to blame.
What Jiang Chengxuan had displayed just now had indeed exceeded the strength of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
It was no wonder that they had that thought.
“Alright, Third Uncle, let’s go back first.”
Shen Ruyan said with a smile.
“By the way, tell us about the Shen family’s situation in the past few years and the current situation.”
Hearing Shen Ruyan mention this, the joy on Shen Baifei and Xiong Wandao’s faces faded a little.
They nodded at her and returned to the Splendid Jade Mountain together.
After a while.
The four of them returned to the Splendid Jade Mountain.
During this period, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also learned about the Shen family’s situation.
To be honest, the Shen family had not been doing well in the past few years.
While Shen Mengxue was still around, everything was still within acceptable range.
When the news of Shen Mengxue’s death spread, the Shen family’s situation took a turn for the worse.
Not only were they ostracized and neglected by many sects and families, but even the Zhang family took advantage of the situation to kick them when they were down.
This was also what Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not expect the most.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wouldn’t be surprised if some families and sects that were close to the Hong family would target the Shen family and join forces to ostracize them.
In fact, it was within their expectations.
However, the fact that a family like the Zhang family was also involved in this made them feel disappointed.
After all, this was a family that had fought side by side with the Shen family for hundreds of years.
But in the end…
At this moment.
In the reception hall of the Shen family.
A smart-looking man in luxurious clothes was looking at Shen Rushuang with a smile.
Behind this person were several cultivators wearing the clothes of the Zhang Immortal family.
They spoke one after another.
“Elder Rushuang, our Elder Yaozu is already very sincere.
Think about the current situation of the White Jade Market.
If the situation continues, not to mention profits, even maintaining the daily operations of the market will be a huge problem, right?”
“So, you’re here to fish in troubled waters? To kick us when we are down?”
Shen Rushuang said coldly.
Hearing her words, the man in luxurious clothes, who was called Elder Yaozu by the Zhang family cultivators, immediately smiled and shook his head.
“Elder Rushuang, you can’t put it that way.
Instead of leaving the market empty, you might as well cooperate with our Zhang family.
That way, it will be beneficial both to your Shen family and our Zhang family. It’s killing two birds with one stone. Why not?”
“Cooperate?”
Shen Rushuang could not help but sneer.
“Cooperate by giving you 50% of the Shen family’s share in the White Jade Market?
Does your Ancestor Baiyang know about this?”
Hearing Shen Rushuang suddenly mention their ancestor, Zhang Baiyang, the expressions of the Zhang family cultivators present changed.
Zhang Yaozu’s expression darkened.
“Elder Rushuang, you don’t have to worry about this.
Without the approval of our ancestor, we wouldn’t be doing this.
You should think about my suggestion carefully. Otherwise, the Shen family can forget about having the other 50% share.”
“What 50% share? Tell me about it.”
At this moment, a few people suddenly walked in from outside the reception hall.
They were Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Shen Baifei, and Xiong Wandao, who had just returned to the Splendid Jade Mountain.
“Ruyan, Chengxuan, you’re back!”
When she saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Rushuang’s face.
“Yes, Cousin Rushuang, long time no see.”
The couple smiled and nodded at Shen Rushuang.
Then, the two of them looked at Zhang Yaozu and the others.
Shen Ruyan said indifferently, “You’re Zhang Yaozu of the Zhang family, right? I know you. Relying on the power of your Zhang family, you have done plenty of nasty things.
Why? Are you targeting my Shen family today?”
As she spoke, she ignored Zhang Yaozu and turned around to look at Shen Rushuang.
“Cousin Rushuang, why don’t you tell me in detail what happened?”
