“Reporting to the Immortal, there are currently no descendants with Spiritual Roots within the Jiang Family of the Fan Realm.”
“Heh, I see you have no cultivation, so it’s normal that you can’t produce descendants with Spiritual Roots.”
Jiang Mei chuckled disdainfully, then waved her hand and said, “Alright, you may leave. We will stay in this Small World for five days. If anyone under your rule disrespects the Great Qian Dynasty, we can help you take action once for free.”
“Many thanks, Immortal.” Jiang Shiliu bowed and prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to exit the Welcoming Immortal Hall, Li Laoyu suddenly spoke.
“Young man, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. I have two questions I’d like to ask you.”
Jiang Shiliu paused, then turned around and said with a smile, “Please ask, Immortal.”
“First question, when I came ten years ago, the Emperor of the Da Qian Dynasty was still Jiang Wudao. I remember he possessed an inferior Spiritual Root and also had martial Dao cultivation.”
“Logically, he should still be alive now. How did you become this Emperor?”
“My Imperial Brother indeed had profound martial Dao cultivation, but not long after the Immortal left ten years ago, my Imperial Brother, for some unknown reason, dared to forcibly attack the Fairy of Luoyun Temple.”
“I heard that night, my Imperial Brother was about to succeed, but suddenly a mysterious person appeared, rescued the Fairy of Luoyun Temple, and severely injured my Imperial Brother.”
“Later, my Imperial Brother’s cultivation improved, and he went to Luoyun Temple again to fight that mysterious person. The two of them fought to an unknown location. I still don’t know if my Imperial Brother defeated that person, I only know that he has not returned to this day, and I have not found his remains.”
“After my Imperial Brother disappeared, since he had no descendants during his lifetime, the various court officials recommended me, a Prince, to ascend the throne.”
“Heh, a disgusting scoundrel, he deserved to die.”
After listening, Jiang Mei merely commented coldly, evidently uninterested in the power changes of the Jiang Family in the Fan Realm.
Li Laoyu was silent for a while before speaking again, “Second question, has there been any unusual activity from Luoyun Temple? Have they actively attacked or suppressed your Great Qian Dynasty?”
“Reporting to the Immortal, no. Although after my Imperial Brother’s incident, Luoyun Temple announced that they would no longer have any ties with our Great Qian Dynasty, they have not launched an attack on our Great Qian Dynasty.”
Upon hearing this, Li Laoyu said no more, merely sighing.
Jiang Shiliu bowed again to take his leave, and this time, no one stopped him, allowing him to smoothly exit the Welcoming Immortal Hall.
“Elder Li, why are you suddenly asking about Luoyun Temple? Didn’t our Jiang Family agree with them hundreds of years ago to jointly govern this Fan Realm? We gather resources, and they scout for talents, right?”
Listening to Jiang Mei’s question, Li Laoyu sighed again, and said faintly, “Hundreds of years ago, our Jiang Family’s Nascent Soul Stage powerful Cultivators were still present, so we could naturally contend with Luoyun Temple.”
“But now, our Jiang Family’s Nascent Soul Stage powerful Cultivators have been gone for a hundred years, and Luoyun Temple has repeatedly tested our Jiang Family’s various properties in the Cultivation World.”
“Although this Fan Realm Small World is resource-poor, according to the distribution method from hundreds of years ago, our Jiang Family profited more.”
“If Luoyun Temple wants to test our Jiang Family further, it is very possible for them to make an issue of the distribution in these affiliated Fan Realm Small Worlds.”
“Luoyun Temple, as a well-known Righteous Path Sect, shouldn’t be so eager, should they?”
Jiang Mei analyzed naively, “Our Jiang Family’s Nascent Soul Stage powerful Cultivator has only not taken action for the past hundred years; there’s no definite news of their demise.”
“Moreover, my Brother Jiang Yan possesses a fire-attribute Earthly Spiritual Root, with exceptional talent. He entered the Dao at eighteen, cultivated to Qi Training Middle Stage in one year, Qi Training Late Stage in two years, and Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage in four years.”
“Now, Brother Jiang Yan is only twenty-eight years old, and he is already a great Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.”
“I believe that within a hundred years, Brother Jiang Yan will definitely be able to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Stage and become a new pillar of our Jiang Family.”
Upon hearing this, Li Laoyu did not refute, only said with a weathered tone, “Jiang Yan indeed has that talent. I hope he can grow up as soon as possible.”
After the two conversed for a while, Jiang Mei saw that Li Old Tai was quite wary of Luoyun Temple, and her rebellious streak flared up, saying, “Elder Li, why don’t we make a trip to Luoyun Temple?”
Li Laoyu: “? Why would we go to Luoyun Temple? We should avoid them now.”
“Why avoid them?”
Jiang Mei, relying on her good relationship with Jiang Yan, and being accustomed to smooth sailing within the clan, said rather presumptuously, “In this Fan Realm Small World, where the upper limit is sealed, whether it’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator or a Core Formation Cultivator, their cultivation will be suppressed to the Qi Training Stage.”
“I previously reviewed past mission reports, and they stated that in this Small World, each time the Immortal-Mortal Passage opens, Luoyun Temple only sends two Cultivators to receive new Disciples.”
“And we have a total of five people on our side. Even if your cultivation, Elder Li, is suppressed by the heavens, there are still four of us at Qi Training Late Stage.”
“We are already the highest combat power in this Fan Realm, so why should we avoid them?”
“Moreover, Elder Li, you just said that Luoyun Temple has been restless recently, so we should be even less inclined to show weakness to the enemy.”
“Even if we can’t directly launch a heavy blow, isn’t it fine to give them a warning in this Small World? Anyway, the Immortal-Mortal Passage will close in five days.”
“When we return to the Cultivation World, will Luoyun Temple really start a war with our Jiang Family over such a small matter?”
Jiang Mei’s words seemed well-reasoned, but to Li Laoyu, they were utterly preposterous and nonsensical.
She wanted to scold this ignorant girl, but then she thought that the girl might resent her for scolding her and take it out on her descendants after she died.
So, she could only gently advise, “Mei’er, what’s so good about going to Luoyun Temple? You probably haven’t been to the Fan Realm before, have you? I know there are a few places with nice scenery in this Fan Realm. How about we go see the Fan Realm scenery now?”
“What kind of scenery is there to see in such a remote and poor place?”
The more Li Old Tai tried to stop her, the more Jiang Mei wanted to visit Luoyun Temple.
Although that scoundrel of the Fan Realm Jiang Family deserved to die, no matter what, he was still one of their Jiang Family members.
If Luoyun Temple dared to harm her Jiang Family members in the Fan Realm now, what would happen if they were allowed to continue unchecked?
Jiang Mei, with her astonishing thought process, increasingly felt that this was the correct reasoning.
So, disregarding Li Old Tai’s dissuasion, she forcibly ordered the three male Cultivators to go with her to “visit” Luoyun Temple.
The three male Cultivators had long since become Incarnations, so naturally, they would go wherever Jiang Mei said. Seeing this, Li Old Tai had no other choice.
In the end, she could only sigh again and follow Jiang Mei and the other three. She dared not let anything happen to Jiang Mei while they were on a mission together, all because Jiang Mei had a good relationship with that Qilin Son, Jiang Yan.
