Chapter 1315 Senior Members of the Ye Family
As Jiang Xiaochuan spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept across the dark, dense forest around him.
Lan Qin's confidence likely stemmed from the instructions of the mysterious master of the Four Directions Pavilion.
Even... the original poster himself secretly sneaked into this place?
"No need to look, it's just me."
Since she wanted to win him over, Lan Qin had nothing to hide about her current situation, so she simply told Jiang Xiaochuan everything.
It turns out that Sifanglou was originally a stronghold for reclusive forces to push into the secular world, equivalent to an outpost for entering the secular world.
While the spiritual energy within the secluded world is abundant, with the increasing number of cultivators, the limited spiritual energy has long been insufficient to meet the demand.
As a result, many reclusive powerful clans are eager to expand their influence into the secular world, plunder its resources and territory, and fill the gap in their seclusion.
The reclusive Ye family has an elder who frequently travels between the secluded world and the secular world.
He knew that the secluded world and the secular world were two completely different worlds.
If a reclusive force were to forcefully invade, it would inevitably cause a devastating impact on the stable order of Chinese society, and could even lead to a complete collapse, implicating countless innocent people.
Therefore, even though most of the reclusive families had already approved the plan.
Despite the opposition, this senior member of the Ye family bravely shouldered all the pressure and secretly instructed Lan Qin to infiltrate the mortal world.
On the surface, it is to observe the movements of various forces, but in reality, it is to secretly contend with the four landlords.
To prevent him from accelerating his infiltration of secular influence and to delay the opportunity for a full-scale invasion by the reclusive world.
However, nowadays, the restlessness among the various reclusive families is becoming increasingly intense. Even though this senior member of the Ye family has superb medical skills and has accumulated a lot of goodwill over the years, he has reached the point where he can no longer hold on alone.
Lan Qin and the Lord of the Four Directions have also broken off all ties, to the point of no return.
Just then, Sifanglou discovered that the Jiang family's secret treasure was hidden deep in Qianyan Mountain, and as a loyal follower of the Ye family's predecessors...
Lan Qin must obtain the secret treasure before Jiang Zhenyue to increase her leverage in the fight against him.
She already possessed awakened bloodline power, and if she could swallow the secret treasure, she would have the opportunity to awaken a rare dual bloodline.
Such talent is extremely rare, even among the most exceptional individuals living in seclusion.
Only then will she have the strength to directly restrain the four landlords, reduce the pressure on the Ye family elders, and perhaps truly fulfill their wish to protect worldly peace.
"Having lived in this secular world for so long, I've come to see through it all."
Lan Qin's tone softened, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, "Although there are mundane troubles and hardships here, it is much more peaceful than the days of fighting and killing in the secluded world, where people are filled with fear and anxiety."
She used to follow with passion, but now she truly wants to do something practical to protect this peace and stability.
After listening to Lan Qin's story, Jiang Xiaochuan was momentarily stunned.
He had long suspected that Sifanglou was related to seclusion, but he never imagined there was such a complex entanglement behind it.
What really stirred his heart was the "senior of the Ye family" that Lan Qin mentioned.
Whether it's medical skills, temperament, or mysterious strength, all these qualities perfectly match those of Ye Chen, whom he had once encountered.
Even now, the thought of Ye Chen's unfathomable cultivation level still sends shivers down Jiang Xiaochuan's spine.
But at this moment, another thought overwhelmed all doubts: a cool and beautiful figure lingered in his mind, impossible to shake off.
Jiang Xiaochuan composed himself and spoke with exceptional seriousness:
"I'd like to ask, among you reclusive people, is there a family with the surname You?"
Lan Qin was stunned, clearly not expecting Jiang Xiaochuan's focus to be on this.
She thought about it carefully for a moment and nodded:
"There is one, but it's just an insignificant little family with no background."
"The recent fierce competition for resources among the reclusive sects has led to the You family being swallowed up and wiped out by a powerful clan."
She has always believed in the supremacy of strength since she lived in seclusion. In the past, when spiritual energy could still be barely distributed, even small families without bloodline power would be exiled.
Nowadays, in order to expand their power and seize cultivation resources, it has become commonplace for small families to be slaughtered and swallowed up.
Those in the tribe either died in battle or became vassal slaves.
She was already used to such cruel scenes.
Fortunately, although the Lan family is not a top-tier clan in the secluded world, they are still relatively safe thanks to the protection of the Ye family's predecessors.
Things are different now. This time, she has come at great risk not only to take down the Four Directions Lord.
He also hoped to seize this opportunity to obtain a secret treasure and awaken his dual bloodlines.
If they succeed, even without external protection, the Lan family can gain a foothold in the secluded world and even dominate a region.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan's heart sank to the bottom.
The existence of the You family in seclusion, and You Ji's skillful use of her bloodline power, are sufficient proof that You Ji is a member of the You family.
She left without saying goodbye, presumably to return to the You family.
Jiang Xiaochuan dared not think any further.
In his confused state, he seemed to have done something unforgivable to You Ji, which has always been a knot in his heart.
Now that the You family has been destroyed, could You Ji have also met with misfortune?
"Why are you in a daze?"
Seeing his dazed expression, Lan Qin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She would never have revealed her hidden secrets to outsiders unless she was desperate.
But Jiang Xiaochuan's appearance suggests that he doesn't care about the cooperation at all.
"Do you know anything else about the You family?"
Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyes and asked with utmost seriousness, "When exactly were they wiped out? Were any survivors left?"
Lan Qin became increasingly puzzled, but did not press for details about her private life. She answered truthfully, "About a month ago, it was swallowed up by the reclusive Ling family, along with several other small families in the surrounding area."
"I didn't pay much attention to the specific details."
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's face growing increasingly grim, Lan Qin rolled her eyes and added:
"But don't worry, once I've dealt with things here, I'll have the family investigate the details of the You family's massacre. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"Thank you."
Jiang Xiaochuan thanked her in a low voice, knowing full well what Lan Qin meant, and could only refocus his attention on the immediate crisis.
Lan Qin stared intently at him: "Young Master Jiang, after saying so much, you should give me an answer."
"If this plan succeeds, I will definitely become the new owner of Sifanglou. At that time, it will be easy to settle your grievances with the Huangfu family."
Jiang Xiaochuan met her gaze. "According to what you said, you are all alone now."
"You should know that the Jiang family's secret treasure is of utmost importance to Jiang Zhenyue, and the people around him must be experts."
"For the two of us to try to snatch food from under his nose is tantamount to courting death."
"In my opinion, you should return to the secluded world as soon as possible, find that senior member of the Ye family to discuss countermeasures, and make a long-term plan. This would be a more prudent approach."
