System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The Second Elder naturally sensed the approaching reinforcements, and his resolve hardened once more.

Chen Xuan merely smiled meaningfully at this, looking at the Second Elder with a somewhat pitiful gaze.

"With your simple-minded and physically strong personality, you are completely unsuitable for getting involved in the power struggles between high-level people. You'll be played to death without even knowing how you died."

Chen Xuan's words were inexplicable, but to the Second Elder, they were like a direct insult.

He roared and vowed to teach Chen Xuan a lesson.

Bai Li really wanted to stomp on the Second Elder's face, but then she heard her master Chen Xuan's voice.

"No, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. He is, after all, a high-ranking member of the Jiang family. Even though he is now a prisoner, he can still represent the Jiang family's hegemony."

"Oh, okay." Bai Li nodded, still a little confused.

Not long after the words were spoken, dozens of powerful auras of the Primordial Realm cultivators arrived in the sky above the main gate of Jiangshan City.

The one leading the group was none other than Jiang Tianxiao, the patriarch of the Jiang clan, and to his left was none other than the sixth brother, Jiang Ming.

The remaining seven or eight people were mostly elderly, and these were clearly the core decision-making leaders of the Jiang family.

"presumptuous!"

When the three elders saw the disheveled Second Elder Jiang Xiong at Bai Li's feet, they also unleashed their power and stepped forward to rebuke him sternly.

Chen Xuan naturally noticed the three as well. "Oh? So these three are from the Second Elder's faction?"

"Jiang Ming deliberately created an information gap this time so that I could take this opportunity to severely suppress the opposing faction."

Although Jiang Tianxiao had met Chen Xuan before, he should know that this was in broad daylight, and in front of countless eyes from caravans, clansmen, and others in the city below.

Jiang Tianxiao naturally had to protect the face of the Jiang clan's overlord.

However, he merely gave Chen Xuan a cold snort.

The time has come, and Jiang Ming, as the mastermind, must step forward to smooth things over for Chen Xuan.

"Please don't be angry, everyone. Brother Chen Xuan had absolutely no intention of humiliating my Jiang family. It's all my fault. I should have sent someone to personally inform the Second Elder about the deal with Brother Chen Xuan."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he stared blankly at the Second Elder at Bai Li's feet and said, "However, I never expected that the Second Elder would not only ignore the high-level meeting I advocated, but also unexpectedly clash with Brother Chen Xuan. This is all a misunderstanding, and the reason lies with me."

Jiang Ming is a smooth liar. Sure enough, none of those who hold real power within a local tyrant are good people.

Having offered a way to smooth things over, Chen Xuan naturally followed suit and spoke up in response to Jiang Ming's words.

Chen Xuan's face was gloomy as he scanned the group of core members of the Jiang clan in front of him. With a wave of his hand, a brocade pouch appeared in his hand.

He said with some anger, "I came here today to pay tribute and discuss a deal with the Jiang family, but I didn't expect to be suppressed and insulted by the core members of the Jiang family before I even entered the city?"

wow——

A spell was cast into the storage pouch, and instantly streams of golden spiritual grains, like golden water, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The grains of rice, brimming with spiritual energy, were plump and glowing with a fluorescent light. Even members of the Jiang clan, who were at the Innate Realm, knew that the treasure in Chen Xuan's hands was extraordinary, let alone those at the Opening Mansion Realm.

At this moment, everyone in the Jiang clan was focused on the Linggu River. Wherever the river flowed, their eyes followed. Apart from a few high-ranking members who knew the real details, the rest were mostly in a state of shock.

Seeing that it was about time, Chen Xuan put all the flying spirit grains back into his brocade pouch.

He coldly surveyed the Jiang family and shouted, "Since the Jiang family doesn't value the treasures I brought, then this transaction is off!"

Chen Xuan's words were actually full of loopholes, but the spirit grain generated by the top-grade spirit field and the top-grade spirit gathering array was too eye-catching. So when they heard that Chen Xuan wanted to end the transaction, they couldn't sit still.
