Sudden Change in the Shen Immortal Family
Then, many cultivators went on stage one after another.
They wanted to exchange for different things.
Some wanted to exchange pills, some wanted to exchange Dharma artifacts, some wanted to exchange cultivation techniques, some wanted to exchange spiritual herbs, and so on.
In the end, even Qiu Yishui and Yan Junlan walked up the stage one after another.
On the other hand, because it was his first time here and his cultivation was not outstanding, Jiang Chengxuan was put in the back of the line.
When he walked on stage, the number of people present was obviously much fewer than before.
Obviously, after exchanging the items they wanted, those people left early.
Looking at the people present, Jiang Chengxuan immediately took out the Water Glazed Stone he had obtained from the demonic cultivator and said,
“This Water Glazed Stone is the main material for refining a Level 2 water-element Dharma artifact. I want to use it to exchange for two bottles of Heavenly Spiritual Dew.
Of course, if you only have one bottle, you need to give me 500 Spirit Stones.”
Seeing what Jiang Chengxuan took out, some people’s eyes lit up.
However, when they heard Jiang Chengxuan’s desired item, many people couldn’t help but frown.
It was because very few people would collect Heavenly Spiritual Dew.
Most of the people present did not have it.
However, at this moment, Wan Donglai, the host of this trade fair, smiled and said to Jiang Chengxuan,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, long time no see. I happen to have two bottles of the Heavenly Spiritual Dew.
However, if I use two bottles of Heavenly Spiritual Dew to exchange for your Water Glazed Stone, I’m afraid you have to give me some more spirit stones.”
Hearing Wan Donglai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan, who was originally a little disappointed, was immediately excited.
He immediately nodded at Wan Donglai and said, “No problem. Two bottles of Heavenly Spiritual Dew for this Water Glazed Stone. I’ll give you another 500 spirit stones.”
“Deal!”
Wan Donglai immediately took out two jade bottles from his body and handed them to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan took it and looked at it. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
When the trade between the two sides ended, it was also about time for this trade fair to end.
Qiu Yishui glanced at Jiang Chengxuan and smiled. “Fellow Daoist Jiang, I wonder if you have any plans next. Do you want to go to Sunset Sect with me?”
Hearing that, Jiang Chengxuan immediately shook his head with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Qiu, thank you for your invitation, but I still have something important to do. I have to go back first. Next time. When I have time, I’ll definitely visit your sect.”
“All right, then.”
Qiu Yishui had clearly expected Jiang Chengxuan’s rejection.
The two of them exchanged communication jade tokens and bade farewell.
Originally, Jiang Chengxuan wanted to go to the other markets under the jurisdiction of the Flowing Cloud Sect to see if there was anything worth buying.
However, at this moment, the Shen Immortal family sent him an urgent message, asking him and the other Foundation Establishment Realm elders outside to return to Splendid Jade Mountain immediately.
Upon receiving this message, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He instinctively felt that something might have happened to the Shen Immortal family.
He did not dare to delay.
After leaving the market, he immediately took out the mid-grade Level 2 Purple Flame Sword and rushed towards Splendid Jade Mountain as quickly as possible.
Two days later.
Jiang Chengxuan’s sword light landed on Spendid Jade Mountain.
In an instant, he sensed that something was wrong.
A tense atmosphere permeated the entire Splendid Jade Mountain .
What exactly was going on?
Just as Jiang Chengxuan was puzzled and confused, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Elder Jiang.”
Jiang Changxuan turned around.
Shen Ruyan, who was dressed in purple, was walking towards him from afar.
However, today, Shen Ruyan, who usually had a smile on her face, looked especially serious.
Jiang Chengxuan even saw suppressed anger in her eyes.
“Elder Ruyan.”
Jiang Chengxuan greeted her and cut to the chase, “Did something happen? Why are we summoned back so suddenly?”
“Something did happen.” Shen Ruyan nodded.
“Not long ago, demonic cultivators ambushed the Thousand Willow Market under the jurisdiction of the Shen Immortal family. At that time, Cousin Rushuang, who was in charge of guarding the market, was seriously injured. Dozens of our cultivators died there.”
“What?”
When he heard this news, Jiang Chengxuan was shocked.
He knew that the Thousand Willow Market Shen Ruyan was talking about was the largest Level 2 market under the Shen Immortal family.
It had roughly 30% of the Shen Immortal family’s assets.
Now that Shen Rushuang, a Level 2 alchemist, was seriously injured, and so many cultivators of the Shen family were killed, wouldn’t it mean that the Thousand Willow Market was already…
As if knowing what Jiang Chengxuan wanted to ask, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but nod with difficulty.
“That’s right. Thousand Willow Market has indeed suffered an unprecedented blow.
Many industries were destroyed.
If not for the Level 3 talisman left for her by our ancestor, she would probably be dead by now.
Moreover…”
At this point, Shen Ruyan took a deep breath before continuing to say to Jiang Chengxuan,
“A city with 800,000 mortals under the Shen Immortal family was also attacked by those demonic cultivators.
Unfortunately, they were not as lucky as my cousin.
The 800,000 mortals in the city and all the cultivators guarding it were killed. None of them survived.”
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but gasp.
He felt unprecedentedly suffocated.
Jiang Chengxuan could not imagine such a scene.
800,000 people were gone just like that.
This was a shock he had never felt in the past hundred years.
This was also the first time he truly felt how ruthless and vicious those demonic cultivators were.
In their eyes, those mortals were like cattles to be slaughtered at any time.
“Of course, other than the two reasons I mentioned, there’s also the most important reason why the family summoned you back…”
Shen Ruyan suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Chengxuan.
“That’s another goal those demonic cultivators are pursuing. They are in charge of killing Foundation Establishment Realm elders like you who are outside.”
