My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

At this moment, everyone even began to wonder if they had heard it wrong, or if Jiang Hao was joking.

They subconsciously opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but found that their throats seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

Ling Xue's fingers trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with shock, disbelief, and even a hint of confusion.

She looked at Jiang Yan's unhurried expression, and a huge gap seemed to appear before her eyes, completely isolating them, the so-called "prodigies".

It turns out that this is the difference between heaven and earth.

She originally thought that she had already stood at the pinnacle of geniuses, was the future hope of the sect, and was the best among her peers.

But now, she realized that the so-called geniuses were nothing but a group of self-righteous frogs in the well in front of the real geniuses.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Jiang Hao couldn't help but shook his head, a wry smile on his face. "Don't look at me like that. There's no need to feel any pressure. In fact, Brother Yan and I are not the best in the clan..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Jiang Hao with disbelief in their eyes.

“No… not top-notch?!”

This is no longer a shock, this is simply earth-shattering!

Jiang Hao glanced at everyone and looked at them as if to say, "You are really surprised by what you have seen."

He then rubbed Mao Xuan's little head and said casually, "Yes, at least in our age group, there are probably only a handful of people like me and Brother Yan in the clan."

"Two palms?"

These words kept echoing in everyone's mind.

Two palms?

Listen to what others say?

At this moment, everyone felt dizzy, as if their hearts were hit by a mountain.

They can't understand or accept it!

He couldn't help but think deeply about it - if it was true as the other party said, there were as many geniuses of this level in the clan as the palm of his hand, then how terrifying would this family be?

Could it be that the family behind Jiang Hao is some hidden imperial clan?

All of a sudden, a bold idea came to everyone's mind at the same time.

Then, they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jiang Yan and Jiang Hao again, feeling extremely inferior in their hearts.

"We've all been calling ourselves geniuses for years, but we've never seen a true genius."

"Jiang Yan, Jiang Hao... people like them are the real geniuses."

"Ridiculous... Really ridiculous... Compared to them, we so-called geniuses are nothing but a bunch of jokes!"

The corners of their mouths twitched and their faces were bitter.

I don’t know where all my previous confidence and pride came from.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, "Everyone has his own path to take."

"The path of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. There is no need to compare yourself with others."

His voice was gentle, like the warm sun, slowly soothing everyone's restless hearts.

Ling Xue took a deep breath and calmed herself down a little.

He then looked at Jiang Yan and Jiang Hao, and said with a cupped hand, "Two young masters...thank you for your help today."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. Since you are Brother Hao's friends, you are my friends. It's natural for friends to help each other."

Jiang Hao hugged Mao Xuan and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, don't be so reserved. We don't have so many rules."

Everyone looked at each other again.

Although he was still shocked, he felt a little relieved after hearing the attitude of Jiang Yan and Jiang Hao.

However, the feeling of awe has long been deeply rooted in everyone's heart.

The scene they just saw will surely become an indelible memory in their lives!

..........

The flames gradually died down, and the remaining ferocious beasts had already fled.

Jiang Hao stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the wasteland engulfed in flames, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this trip really earned me a lot of points."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yan again and asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Yan, why are you here?"

Jiang Yan carried Mao Xuan back and whispered, "A few days ago, I accidentally got a piece of news about 'Strange Fire' from a senior. I was intrigued and came here to look for it."

"It's a pity that we've been following the clues for several days, but we haven't found any trace of the strange fire."

"Just now, I saw the beast tide and came to check it out, but I didn't expect to run into you..."

Jiang Hao blinked his eyes and said seriously, "Strange Fire, that's a good thing, Brother Yan, I'll help you find it."

He also knew that his brother had practiced a very strange skill that allowed him to collect all kinds of fire for his own use, which was quite domineering.

Looking at the solemn expression on my brother's face, it can be seen that the strange fire he is looking for is of a high grade, at least of the Saint grade.

Jiang Hao knew very well how important the strange fire was to his brother, so he immediately prepared to help.

Jiang Yan thought that they were all brothers, so he did not refuse politely.

He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "That senior said that she sensed the aura of the strange fire in this area back then, but due to some reasons, she didn't go deeper. She only left me a map and vague coordinates..."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm and a piece of animal skin appeared in his palm, with vague mountains and some unclear symbols outlined on it.

"I have been searching for several days according to this map, but I still haven't found any trace of the strange fire."

"I now suspect that the strange fire may have been taken away by someone else."

Jiang Hao touched his chin, looked at the map seriously, and fell into thought.

At this moment, Ling Xue on the side was suddenly stunned, frowning slightly, as if she had thought of something.

She bit her lip, her eyes flickering.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "Master Yan, is the strange fire you are looking for blue?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan turned his head and looked over. "It's Lanse. Miss, do you know the whereabouts of this strange fire?"

Ling Xue took a deep breath and said slowly, "A year ago, my eldest brother came here to train."

"At that time, he accidentally broke into a rift valley."

"There were scorching flames everywhere, it was extremely hot and made people not want to stay any longer."

"Big Brother said he vaguely saw a ball of extremely strange flame suspended at the end of the rift. It seemed to have life, dancing in the void, and the color of the flame was blue..."

"However, Big Brother didn't dare to get close."

"The temperature at the time was already making it difficult for him to maintain his protective energy. Furthermore, there was a ferocious beast that looked to be at the Saint King level entrenched there. He could only retreat in panic and never set foot there again."

"Later, when my elder brother was sharing with me the interesting stories of his training, he mentioned this matter and told me the coordinates of the rift valley. I learned about it..."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He immediately thought to himself, "So that's why. No wonder I haven't been able to find any trace of the 'Ice Phoenix Flame' despite following the clues left by Senior Bingxiao these past few days."

"At least a year ago, a ferocious beast that seemed to be at the Saint King level got there first and snatched away this strange fire."

"However, it seems that it has not yet refined the 'Ice Phoenix Flame'. It is only temporarily suppressing it and sealing it in the rift as its trump card."

At this time, Jiang Hao curled his lips and said, "Tsk, this is a bit troublesome. The Saint King... is much more difficult to deal with than the big guy I met last time."

Ling Xue's expression tightened, and she asked tentatively, "My two lords, you are not... going to that rift valley, are you?"

Jiang Yan smiled slightly: "Girl, that strange fire is very important to me, I must go."

Although his current fighting power can compete with a saint.

However, because his true cultivation level is only at the Heavenly Man Realm, it is extremely difficult for him to jump two levels and compete with the Saint King.

but.....

"As far as I know, in recent times, most of the Saint King-level beasts have gone to the core area to meet the Beast King."

As Jiang Yan's voice fell.

Jiang Hao held his chin in his hand and smiled, "That means that big guy is very likely being held in the core area... Hehe, then wouldn't that be a good opportunity for us to take advantage of it?"

"If that strange fire is really completely refined by this guy, Brother Yan, you will probably have to fight it to the death."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Indeed, this is a rare opportunity, we must not miss it."

He had something else in his mind that he hadn't said.

In the past, faced with such a situation, it would naturally be better to be cautious and not take risks easily.

But now, with Senior Qingyue backing me up, I can give it a try.

At the same time, Jiang Hao also thought of this.

The two smiled in tacit understanding, knowing each other, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Ling Xue looked confused and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Hao waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

Ling Xue sighed helplessly, but she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

Then, she looked at Jiang Yan and said with a cupped hand, "Young Master Yan, if you really want to find that strange fire, I can lead the way."

Although she was afraid, she forced herself to calm down when she thought about how Jiang Hao had saved her twice.

I know that I can never repay such a great kindness.

The only way I can do my best to help the two young masters find that rift valley is to contribute my little bit.

Later, Ling Xue saw Jiang Yan frowning slightly. Fearing that he would refuse, she continued, "Although I am weak and far inferior to the two young masters, I can't be of much help in the battle, but at least I can provide some clues and information."

"After all, our Qingqian Sect is relatively close to the Youlan Wasteland, and our understanding of the Youlan Wasteland is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you bring me with you, I will definitely be able to help you explore this place more conveniently..."

Jiang Yan looked at the beautiful yet determined girl in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It is not easy for someone who has reached the celestial realm to have such courage.

What the other party said did not make sense. He really needed some information about the Youlan Wasteland.

Thinking of this, he nodded, agreeing.

Ling Xue's expression lit up with joy, and she immediately looked at her two fellow apprentices behind her—Su Heng and Lin An.

"Su Heng, Lin An, you two should go back to the sect first."

"The road ahead is too dangerous. It's not suitable for you to follow."

Su Heng's expression changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "Senior Sister Ling, we can't leave you alone!"

Lin An also stood up and said with a firm look, "Yes, Senior Sister Ling, we came here together. How can we leave you here alone and take risks? If we want to go back, let's go back together!"

Ling Xue wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination in their eyes, she remained silent.

Knowing that he couldn't change their minds, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"You two... well, if that's the case, then follow me."

"But remember, you must follow the two gentlemen closely and don't get separated!"

Upon hearing this, Su Heng and Lin An immediately nodded frantically like chicks pecking at rice.

Jiang Yan watched the interaction between the three people, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Ling Xue bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Yan."

After saying that, he looked around again, his eyes gradually becoming firm, "However, before I leave, I still have one thing to do."

Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Ling Xue turned around, her eyes sweeping across the corpses scattered across the ground, and softly said, "These are my fellow disciples. They followed me here, but remained in this wasteland forever."

"No matter what, I must bring their ashes back to the sect. I can't let their remains lie exposed in the wilderness."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly when he heard this, "It's human nature. Go ahead."

Ling Xue nodded, and took her two junior brothers with her to collect the remains of her fellow disciples, cremating them one by one and carefully placing the ashes into specially made jade bottles.

At the same time, Jiang Yan looked at the corpses of ferocious beasts scattered all over the ground in the distance, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "It's just right, I also have some things to do."

After saying that, he walked towards the corpses of the ferocious beasts and began to extract the precious inner core of the ferocious beasts.

These inner elixirs are an important source of points, so they naturally cannot be wasted.

Jiang Hao was immediately delighted when he saw it, and jumped over, "Brother Yan, wait for me! How can I be left out of this kind of thing!"

Soon, the two brothers were busy among the corpses of the beasts.

They took out the inner cores of the ferocious beasts one by one, and even took away some rare treasures from heaven and earth.

The two men moved with skill and looked like an experienced "corpse collection" team.

Ling Xue was stunned watching from the side, and couldn't help but whisper, "These two gentlemen, aren't they too... casual?"

Su Heng and Lin An looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

..........

Day two.

Somewhere in a dense forest.

The ancient trees are towering, quiet and depressing.

But at this moment, the sound of weapons clashing and angry shouts broke the silence.

Two groups of people were fighting fiercely in the woods.

More than ten figures shuttled back and forth, sword lights and spiritual lights intertwined, and murderous intent was in the air.

On one side, the leader was a swordsman dressed in white, with a handsome face and a stern expression, and the long sword in his hand exuded a cold sword intent.

Every time the sword is swung, it will bring up a cold light, and the sword energy will be sharp, tearing the air!

He is a true disciple of the most powerful sect today - Luochen Sword Sect.

His name: Mu Changfeng.

Possessing the ninth level of cultivation in the realm of heaven and man!

On the other side, the leader was a young man in a black robe.

He has sharp eyes and a slender figure. He holds a pitch-black spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear flashes with a cold light.

The energy in his body circulated, like a reef in a strong wind, standing firm.

He was a true disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the strongest sect a hundred years ago.

His name: Zhao Wuhen.

He also possesses the ninth level of cultivation in the Heavenly Man Realm!

Luochen Sword Sect and Xuantian Dao Sect.

The two strongest sects, both old and new, are ranked among the top three forces in the Xuantian Realm today!

And now, the two sides are in a stalemate!
