Chapter 136: The Zhang Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon after the two of them arrived outside, Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming, who had sensed the aura of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, appeared on Flying Jade Peak.
“Haha! Chengxuan, congratulations!”
As soon as Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they cupped their fists and congratulated them with a smile.
Clearly, they could already sense the aura of a Violet Palace Realm cultivator from Jiang Chengxuan.
This made the two of them smile from ear to ear.
Now, the Shen family had four Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and returned the greeting.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan invited Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming to a pavilion nearby,
Several cups of spiritual tea appeared in Shen Ruyan’s hand.
As such, the four of them drank spiritual tea and talked about some things over the years.
When Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming touched on the matter of the Zhang family, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “Ancestor, Brother, do you know what’s going on with the Zhang family? Why hasn’t the Zhang family expressed anything to the Shen family until now?
Could it be that they really think that our Shen family will let things go just like that?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming’s eyes darkened.
Shen Yuanlong said, “I only found out about this not long ago after investigation. The Zhang family seems to have the intention to cling to the Hong family. That’s why they had the guts to provoke us blatantly.”
“Clinging to the Hong family?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could not help but look stunned.
Was the Zhang family stupid?
No matter what, they were both old Violet Palace Realm immortal families.
Was there a need to do such a thing?
One had to know that all the old Violet Palace Realm immortal families or sects valued their independence very much.
Even the Ganyang Sect could not interfere with their internal matters.
Moreover, the Hong family could not represent the Ganyang Sect. At most, it could be considered the leading family within the Ganyang Sect.
What benefits could the Zhang family get from clinging to the Hong family?
Did they think that a Violet Palace Realm immortal family or sect like the Shen family would give them special treatment because they were a lackey of the Hong family?
Especially when personal interests were concerned.
That was absolutely impossible.
Unless the Hong family was now the de facto owner of the Ganyang sect.
“I actually couldn’t understand this at that time.”
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong continued to explain,
“However, after my careful investigation during this period of time, I finally learned a piece of news from within the Zhang family.”
‘Yes?…’
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan subconsciously focused.
Shen Yuanlong said, “Brother Zhang Baiyang, when he was breaking through to the fifth level of the Violet Palace Realm, he suffered from Qi deviation and almost died.
After that, he entered endless seclusion to recuperate.
From that moment onward, he left the entire Zhang family in charge of the head of the Zhang family at that time and asked another Supreme Elder of the Zhang family, Zhang Baishan, to assist the head of the Zhang family.
Unfortunately, Brother Baiyang has misjudged Zhang Baishan’s character.
I’ve met this person a few times in the past. The impression 1 got was that this person was ambitious but not capable.
Although he has the cultivation of the Violet Palace Realm, he doesn’t have the intelligence and the ability to control a family.
However, controlling a family seemed to be what he liked to do.
Just think about it, in the absence of Daoist Brother Baiyang, how can the head of the Zhang family, who is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, really restrain a Supreme Elder?
Moreover, that Supreme Elder is not an outsider, but a member of the Zhang family who has the same blood flowing in him.
As for what happened after that…
1 think you can imagine it even if I don’t say it.”
Indeed.
With Zhang Baishan’s character, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wouldn’t find it strange no matter what ridiculous things he did.
“Even if that’s the case, does he think that just because they’ve clung to the Hong family, they don’t need to pay the price for what they did to us back then?”
A cold smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
Previously, he was in seclusion to break through to the Violet Palace Realm, and Shen Ruyan had to guard outside his cultivation room.
As for the other two Violet Palace Realm cultivators of the Shen family, one had to guard the family base. If the other went to the Zhang family to ask for an explanation, it would probably be useless.
However, it was different now where the Shen family could mobilize at least three Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
The time was just right for them to make a move.
However, in order to be safe, Jiang Chengxuan still used the Heavenly Calculation Technique to deduce the outcome of their trip.
The result showed that there were no accidents on this trip.
Hence, Jiang Chengxuan stopped hesitating and smiled at Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming.
“Ancestor, Brother, now that I’ve broken through to the Violet Palace Realm and come out of seclusion, it’s about time for our Shen family to go to the Zhang family.
1 want to see if the Hong family that Elder Baishan relied on will come to his aid when the time comes.”
At the same time.
In the Zhang Immortal family’s base.
The newly appointed Zhang family head, Zhang Yaohai, came to the mountain peak where his ancestor, Zhang Baishan, was with a worried expression.
As for the family head who was appointed by Zhang Baiyang to be in charge of the Zhang family back then, he had disappeared for no reason a few years ago.
As for where he had gone, who could tell?
At this moment.
Zhang Yaohai waited on this mountain peak for a few days.
When he saw his ancestor, Zhang Baishan, he immediately said,
“Ancestor, the Shen Immortal Family already has three Violet Palace Realm cultivators protecting it.
Especially Shen Yuanlong. He is on the same level as Ancestor Baiyang. It’s said that not only have his injuries recovered, but he has also successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Violet Palace Realm.
Do we really not have to go to the Shen family to explain the misunderstanding back then?”
Towards the end, this new family head was already sweating profusely.
Zhang Baishan was a middle-aged man with a narrow face.
When he heard Zhang Yaohai’s words, he immediately snorted angrily.
“It’s just a small matter. What’s there to explain?
If the Shen family really cared about this matter, they would have come to the Zhang family to demand an explanation long ago.
The fact that they didn’t come meant that they definitely did not take this matter to heart.
Besides…”
At this point, a hint of smugness appeared on his face.
“Even if the Shen family really comes to demand an explanation for what happened back then, there’s nothing to worry about.
With my current relationship with the Hong family, if the Violet Palace Realm cultivators of the Shen family really dared to come, the Hong family would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
At that time, it will be us asking them for an explanation..”
