Chapter 55: The Jiang family
Chapter 55: The Jiang family
In that forest, tension enveloped the surrounding area. Flames and ice clashed violently, destroying everything around. Feng Yi charged in, preparing to attack Jiang Yun again in a fit of rage. As her power surged toward him, he merely smiled slightly, standing still, and her attack was intercepted by an invisible force, rendering her unable to move.
Suddenly, Feng Yi felt something touch her waist. She immediately used her spirit to check and realized that Jiang Yun had wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. Their faces were so close that it seemed they were about to kiss. Feng Yi was startled and quickly used a teleportation talisman to escape from Jiang Yun's embrace. She was sweating profusely, feeling shocked, embarrassed, and filled with anger.
"What do you want? It's obvious you could easily deal with me!"
Jiang Yun smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Feng Yi was taken aback and furious, nearly exploding. She prepared to use a power-boosting card to break through to the Immortal Realm and attack Jiang Yun again, but he easily dodged while restraining her. This caused Feng Yi's body to float in mid-air and fall into Jiang Yun's arms immediately. Jiang Yun smiled before kissing her without hesitation.
Feng Yi was shocked and struggled with all her might, but she couldn't escape. She bit Jiang Yun's lip immediately. Jiang Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Are those your soldiers?"
Feng Yi replied furiously, "Hmph... of course, those people are my soldiers!" and spat fire from her mouth.
Jiang Yun easily dodged and smiled slightly, waving his hand. The bodies of those soldiers gradually reconnected, with missing arms and legs reappearing, and soon they were revived. One of the soldiers spoke up in confusion.
"Wasn't I dead?"
"What is happening?"
"How did I come back to life?"
Jiang Yun smiled again, "Are you no longer angry?"
Feng Yi was still dazed. She felt shocked and said in a flat tone, "If I could have my life back, I would be very happy!"
Jiang Yun smiled again before kissing her once more. Feng Yi felt her heart racing out of rhythm. She had never been this close to any man before, and at that moment, Jiang Yun gently set her down.
Jiang Yun walked away, speaking in a teasing tone, "I hope that next time we meet, I will get to see your true form, my wife."
Feng Yi, hearing those words, shouted in anger, "Who is your wife?!"
The scene shifted to a room in the Phoenix Palace, where a girl who looked exactly like Feng Yi opened her eyes and said, "Tell everyone under our command that if they encounter Jiang Yun, they should avoid him. If anyone under our command violates this or has a problem with Jiang Yun, they can destroy their forces."
A dark shadow emerged, "Understood, my lord."
"I hope we can be good allies," Feng Yi closed her eyes again.
At a cliff, Jiang Yun stood in the midst of tranquility. He was silent and asked a question to the system, "Is she not from the same original world as me?"
The system replied coldly, [The system does not care whether one is a dimensional traveler or not, as long as they are suitable, they can own the system, regardless of gender, race, or age. But what did you put into her body when you kissed?]
Jiang Yun smiled and replied, "You don't know anything. Will she die?"
The system quickly responded, "Yes."
Jiang Yun picked up a brush, and the system displayed a message: [System temporarily disconnected. If you have any questions, you can leave a voice message at 000000.]
He didn't pay much attention and said, "Come out."
Seven men in black emerged from the shadows and knelt respectfully, "Greetings, young master."
Jiang Yun looked at them indifferently and said, "Have I ever been one? ...I don't remember at all."
The seven fell silent for a moment before politely responding, "This is the resource that the head of the family has given you, and when you return, you can request more."
Jiang Yun didn't even glance at the resources given and said, "Where to return?"
One of the men in black cautiously replied, "To the Jiang family, sir."
...
...
Jiang Yun smiled while doing something and said, "Hmm... alright... let's go."
The seven men were shocked when Jiang Yun agreed to return to the Jiang family, something they had never expected. They once thought bringing Jiang Yun back would be absolutely impossible, but in reality, they were only stalling for reinforcements.
Jiang Yun looked at them and asked calmly, "When are you leaving?"
The seven men in black responded in unison, "Right now, sir." As soon as they finished speaking, they activated a teleportation array and disappeared instantly.
Jiang Yun found himself teleported to a city. His eyes scanned the beautiful surroundings. The city was orderly, with elegant streets and buildings. It all felt so familiar. One of the men in black spoke respectfully, "This way, please."
Jiang Yun said nothing and followed in silence. Along the way, he passed a bridge over a slow-flowing river. In the center of the city was a large lake with a massive island at its center, where the Jiang family estate was located.
As Jiang Yun passed through the complex defensive formations, he felt a surge of intense immortal energy. Although the power was strong, it didn't concern him in the slightest.
"Does the Jiang family have a scripture pavilion?" Jiang Yun asked in a calm voice.
One of the men in black quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
"Take me there," Jiang Yun ordered coldly.
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "The family head wishes to see you first, sir."
Jiang Yun's eyes turned icy. "Take me to the scripture pavilion now." His voice was firmer than before, and the pressure radiating from him made the man leading the way tremble.
"My apologies, young master..." The man's words were abruptly cut off. In an instant, his body was sliced in half, so fast that Jiang Yun didn't even blink.
The remaining six men in black were stunned and furious at the sight. Jiang Yun moved swiftly, pulling the man's body toward him to extract his memories without saying a word. He searched the man's mind brutally and quickly.
Once Jiang Yun had what he needed, he tossed the lifeless body aside. The remaining men stood frozen in shock, fear and panic reflected in their eyes.
One of the men in black gritted his teeth and said, "The five of you, follow him. I will return to report to the lord."
"Understood."
After dividing their tasks, the six men quickly separated. Five of them hurried after Jiang Yun, while the other rushed back to the Jiang family head to report the situation.
The five men in black flew through a chaotic landscape. They saw collapsed buildings and members of the Jiang family injured throughout the area. Their rage burned as they increased their speed, determined to catch up with Jiang Yun.
Meanwhile, in the private chamber of the Jiang family head, when the man who had gone to report arrived, he found only a letter left on the table. The letter was written in the hand of the family head:
"I will be traveling to the Immortal Wind Continent to find my son. If you find that child, handle him as you see fit. I will return in three days."
The man in black was stunned upon reading the letter's contents. He immediately decided to head to the scripture pavilion as quickly as possible.
At the scripture pavilion, Jiang Yun had already arrived and silently stepped inside. The pavilion was filled with spiritual energy and countless scrolls, holding the accumulated knowledge of the Jiang family over many generations. An old man sat at the entrance of the pavilion, guarding it. His power was extraordinary—at the semi-immortal emperor level, a terrifying strength for ordinary people despite being low within his rank.
When the old man saw Jiang Yun, he asked curiously, "Young man, who are you? Why don't I recognize you?"
Jiang Yun didn't answer the old man's question. Instead, he began constructing formations, one after another. Time formations, sealing formations, heaven-blocking formations, and finally, thread formations—all of them executed with precision and incredible speed.
The old man watched in astonishment because most young members of the Jiang family rarely came here since their parents would provide them with techniques and skills. The old man spoke again as he looked at the formations.
"Who is this young man? He carries the blood of the Jiang family and can create formations this quickly? And such complex ones at that, especially the time formation... Fascinating."
Just then, the five men in black appeared at the entrance of the scripture pavilion, rushing and filled with fury. The old man sitting at the front asked them curiously, "Why are you here?"
One of the men in black respectfully answered, "Greetings, Elder. We are here to find this young man," he said, showing a picture of Jiang Yun to the old man.
The elder nodded. "He is inside the pavilion."
Upon hearing this, the five men hurried toward the pavilion. But before they could enter, the old man used his spiritual power to suspend them mid-air.
"You will all die if you go in now," the old man said, looking at them calmly.
The five men in black looked confused. "What do you mean?"
The old man didn't answer but instead asked, "Tell me, who is this young man, and why are you chasing him?"
