Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

—Instant kill!

These were the first two words that came to Jiang Chengxuan's mind.

He never imagined that a pet casually dispatched by the ancestor would possess such terrifying strength. Just how powerful must the ancestor himself be?

The more Jiang Chengxuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

If the Jiang family had such powerful ancestors, they shouldn't have been confined to the small town of Taiping...

"Could it be that our Jiang family is a branch of some reclusive family that was left behind?"

"Hey!"

Xiaoqing's call interrupted Jiang Chengxuan's wild imagination. "Lady Xiaoqing, what are your orders?"

After shrinking in size, Xiao Qing looked at Jiang Chengxuan, who was bowing and scraping to her with a very respectful attitude, and snorted, "I've already taken care of everything for you, so hurry up and send me to my master."

"As ordered!"

Having witnessed Xiaoqing's terrifying strength, Jiang Chengxuan dared not utter a single word of dissent. He immediately and carefully picked Xiaoqing up again and headed towards the ancestral land.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan took a step, Xiaoqing turned around and glanced at the Zhao family members who were frozen into ice sculptures behind her.

A small insect seemed to have dodged its attack and was desperately trying to escape.

However, since the person who escaped was too weak and posed no threat, Xiaoqing didn't pay much attention to him.

On the other side, when Jiang Zhenbang saw his son carrying the terrifying white snake and running straight home, he was about to call him back to ask what was going on when his ancestor Jiang Kai waved him off.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. When we get back, I think Chengxuan will explain things to us clearly."

"I will follow the instructions of the Ancestor."

Jiang Zhenbang said no more, but his gaze followed Jiang Chengxuan's back until he disappeared.

Xiaoqing had just sensed that the person who had narrowly escaped death from her attack was named Zhao Haoyu, the youngest son of Zhao Kang, the head of the Zhao family.

Zhao Haoyu was only at the mid-stage of the Strategist Realm. The reason he was able to survive Xiao Qing's breath attack was entirely because he was carrying the Zhao family's heirloom, a top-grade third-rank armor.

The armor absorbed 90% of the damage, allowing him to escape death.

Even so, he suffered considerable internal injuries, with all his meridians being eroded by the cold.

After fleeing the battlefield, Zhao Haoyu ran desperately towards the woods outside Taiping Town.

Driven by his survival instinct and filled with grief and indignation, Zhao Haoyu endured the biting cold and finally made it into the woods.

"Senior, it's all over, all over! Our Zhao family has been wiped out, and I'm the only one who escaped! Senior, please come out! Didn't you say you would support our Zhao family in taking control of Taiping Town? Please, you must avenge our Zhao family!"

Before Zhao Haoyu could finish crying out, a dark figure wearing a cloak appeared in front of him.

"Failed? How could that be? Doesn't the Jiang family only have Jiang Kai, the peak of the Returning Heaven Realm? With Zhao Taihong and Zhao Yanfeng's strength, how could they not defeat him?"

Upon seeing the familiar figure appear, Zhao Haoyu felt as if he had grasped at the last straw. He knelt down with a thud, choking back tears as he recounted the battle with the Jiang family. Finally, he repeatedly begged the man to avenge his family.

The black figure ignored Zhao Haoyu's pleas and focused all its attention on the large white snake that could grow larger at any time, speak human language, and possessed formidable strength.

"It seems to be related to that strange celestial phenomenon! Otherwise, how could such a powerful demonic beast appear in such a small town as Taiping!"

"Being able to speak human language, this giant serpent must be at least a Bone-Melting Realm demon beast with five hundred years of cultivation! It seems the Jiang family also harbors some unknown secrets..."

After deciding on his next plan and actions, the figure in black turned around and prepared to leave without even glancing at Zhao Haoyu.

Zhao Haoyu was somewhat incredulous, but with a final grit of his teeth, he lunged forward, grabbing the man's leg tightly, and said in a somewhat frantic tone:

"You can't leave! If you leave, who will avenge our Zhao family! You promised the patriarch that you would always secretly support our Zhao family!"

"ridiculous!"

The black figure snorted coldly, and with a surge of true energy, it instantly sent Zhao Haoyu flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The black-clad figure turned around again, looked at Zhao Haoyu who was lying on the ground, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion:

"Useless is useless! Since your Zhao family is no longer of any use, why should I waste my energy helping you take revenge? I was going to spare your life, but since you miss your people so much, I will grant your wish and send you down to join them!"

Without giving Zhao Haoyu time to react, she raised her hand and flicked her finger, sending a stream of true energy into Zhao Haoyu's body.

Zhao Haoyu's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

The next instant, hair-thin cracks rapidly spread down from the top of Zhao Haoyu's head.

A few breaths later, Zhao Haoyu, whose body was covered in cracks, shattered into dust under a gentle breeze and scattered with the wind.

The mysterious person who made the move had already vanished without a trace.

……

Meanwhile, at the Jiang family residence, after counting the number of people and settling the wounded, Jiang Kai, following Jiang Chengxuan's instructions, summoned all the direct descendants and high-ranking members of the Jiang family to the ancestral hall.

After everyone had arrived, Jiang Chengxuan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and recounted in detail how he had run to the ancestral land and how he had used the forbidden technique he had accidentally obtained to summon Jiang Yuchuan.

The Jiang family's senior members listened to Jiang Chengxuan's story as if it were a tale.

To be honest, if they hadn't witnessed the power of that giant white snake with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed Jiang Chengxuan's words even if they were beaten to death.

After everyone had processed the series of unbelievable events that Jiang Chengxuan had accomplished, Jiang Kai was the first to speak and ask a question:

"Chengxuan, are you sure the one you summoned is our Jiang family's ancestor, Jiang Lin?"

"Absolutely right!"

Jiang Chengxuan made a vow with his hand and looked at the portrait in the center of the wall behind him. "I was afraid that I would mistake him for someone else, so I looked at him several times. The person I summoned was exactly the same as the one in the portrait left by Ancestor Jiang Lin, except that he was much younger than him!"

"Furthermore, I summoned the ancestors of the Jiang family by using my own bloodline as a catalyst!"

Jiang Kai didn't say anything more, but his slightly furrowed brows didn't relax, clearly indicating that he didn't completely believe Jiang Chengxuan's words.

As the oldest living member of the Jiang family, his understanding of his ancestors is definitely much greater than that of Jiang Chengxuan.

Although this Ancestor Jiang Lin was the most talented and strongest member of the Jiang family since its establishment, he was not strong enough to tame a terrifying beast like that white serpent!

Most importantly, the Jiang family has never practiced any beast-taming techniques, and demonic beasts are not so easy to tame!

Therefore, he suspected that the one summoned by Jiang Chengxuan using forbidden techniques could not possibly be Jiang Lin, the ancestor of the Jiang family.

Of course, Jiang Kai will not tell anyone about his speculation for the time being.

Judging from the current situation, that person does not seem to have any hostility towards the Jiang family, otherwise they would not have stepped in to help the Jiang family avert the crisis of extermination.

However, Jiang Kai, as the patriarch of the Jiang family, could not let his guard down. He had to go and meet that person in person.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Kai changed his expression, praising Jiang Chengxuan with a smile, and then pretended to be impatient as he said:

"Chengxuan, since you are so certain that you have summoned Ancestor Jiang Lin, shouldn't you quickly lead us over to pay our respects!"
