After flying out of the house, Jiang Xiaochuan locked onto his target and went straight to the roof of the inn.

They ran into ten masked men dressed in black.

These ten people did not expect that their target was so perceptive, sensing their presence before they could even take action.

"Do it!"

At a command, the ten men attacked Jiang Xiaochuan simultaneously.

They were just doing their jobs for money, and it had no impact on whether the target discovered them in advance.

Jiang Xiaochuan, still seething with rage, saw the ten people make a move. He flicked his sleeve, and ten talismans emitting a dark blue light instantly appeared in front of him.

As soon as the talisman appeared, it shot out under Jiang Xiaochuan's control, heading straight for the ten men in black who were attacking.

Seeing the talismans flying towards them, the ten men in black simultaneously channeled their inner energy to launch a counterattack.

All ten brothers were at the peak of the Returning to Heaven Realm and cultivated a complete set of techniques.

With the cooperation of ten people, even a master of the True Embryo Realm can be killed!

It was precisely because they had this confidence that they didn't take Jiang Xiaochuan too seriously.

Although talisman cultivators are terrifying, that only applies to veteran talisman cultivators who have been immersed in the art of talismans for hundreds of years.

Jiang Xiaochuan, who was clearly a greenhorn and inexperienced newcomer, was not considered a threat by them.

To their surprise, the talisman Jiang Xiaochuan threw out was so resilient that it was not damaged in the slightest by their burst of true energy.

After this delay, the talisman is now almost within reach.

Even if they wanted to retaliate again, it was too late. They could only temporarily dodge and distance themselves from the talisman to avoid being injured.

Seeing the ten men in black retreating in unison, Jiang Xiaochuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Trying to run? Too late!"

The talisman suddenly shone brightly, and streams of bone-chilling cold air surged out.

The moment the cold air left the talisman, it condensed directly into giant, dark blue pythons.

The giant python was extremely fast, and in just a few breaths it caught up with the ten men in black who were retreating.

Upon sensing the chilling aura and imposing presence emanating from the giant python, they were instantly terrified.

"Damn it! We've all been fooled by that guy! This kid is no ordinary person; he's clearly playing dumb to take advantage of us!"

"He hunts geese all day long, but this time a goose pecked his eye!"

"Damn it! Even as a ghost, I won't let that guy get away with it!"

Before the angry roars and wails of despair had even ended, the ten men in black were pierced through by giant pythons formed from icy energy, frozen into ice sculptures.

Jiang Xiaochuan flicked his sleeve, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy that shattered all ten humanoid ice sculptures into pieces.

After taking care of the ten men, Jiang Xiaochuan did not return to the house, but instead looked towards the distant streets and alleys.

Cen Cheng, who was secretly observing the rooftop of the inn from the alleyway, saw that Jiang Xiaochuan had discovered him. He immediately transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the darkness, fleeing into the distance at high speed.

The previous probing had not been very effective and was no longer enough for him to determine whether Jiang Xiaochuan and Jiang Yuchuan were the same person or had an extraordinary relationship.

But one thing is certain: Jiang Xiaochuan's strength is definitely no weaker than his own!

To prevent any accidents from happening, he turned and ran away the moment he was discovered.

The instant Cen Cheng vanished into the darkness, Jiang Xiaochuan appeared in the alley.

"You run pretty fast!"

Jiang Xiaochuan had no intention of letting Cen Cheng off so easily, and immediately released his divine sense to scan the surroundings.

"Little mouse, I've found you!"

Sensing Cen Cheng's movements, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately gave chase.

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan rapidly chasing after him from behind, Cen Cheng was instantly terrified.

"How is this possible?! Even a Mountain Shaking Realm expert wouldn't be able to detect my escape technique, how could this kid discover me so easily! Could it be that he and that person from Taiping Town are really the same person?!"

As I pondered, Jiang Xiaochuan's figure was already close at hand.

With a fierce determination, Cen Cheng immediately used his own blood essence as a guide to split the shadow that had sheltered him into five, which then fled in different directions.

The shadows mixed with his own blood essence all carried his aura. He refused to believe that Jiang Xiaochuan could find his true identity so quickly this time!

"Little mouse, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Jiang Xiaochuan naturally understood Cen Cheng's intention, but he did not use his divine sense to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Instead, he made hand seals and pointed his five fingers at the fleeing shadow in mid-air.

The five streaks of spiritual energy instantly transformed into cyan-green light arrows, firmly pinning the five shadows that Cen Cheng had created to the spot.

With a piercing scream shattering the sky, the five shadows began to slowly dissipate, oozing pools of thick blood.

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded in satisfaction and turned to return to the inn.

More than half an hour passed after Jiang Xiaochuan left. From one of the pools of blood, a shadow no bigger than a palm shot out and disappeared into the distance.

After several days of continuous practice, Jiang Xiaochuan finally mastered the talisman-drawing technique and was able to successfully draw high-level talismans.

The gifts he prepared for the banquet at Zhuge's house were ten high-level fire dragon talismans and ten high-level ice breath talismans.

Although high-level talismans are not as rare as top-grade pills, they are not always available. Therefore, they are not cheap, costing at least ten low-grade spirit stones per talisman.

Although Jiang Xiaochuan felt a pang of heartache at the thought of giving away two hundred low-grade spirit stones, the feeling of heartache was immediately replaced by excitement and exhilaration when he thought about how Jiang Xiaochuan could earn spirit stones himself with his skill in drawing talismans.

After preparing the congratulatory gift, Jiang Xiaochuan, who hadn't slept for several nights, immediately lay down on the bed and had a good long sleep.

Although sleeping or not sleeping wouldn't make any difference to him, he still wanted to experience a normal person's daily routine.

Just as he doesn't need to eat any food.

After all, Jiang Yuchuan had personally experienced and gone through all of these things.

After waking up, Jiang Xiaochuan washed up again before carrying the congratulatory gift, which was wrapped in a carved wooden box, out of the inn and headed towards the Zhuge family mansion.

Before he even entered the Zhuge family mansion, Jiang Xiaochuan encountered wave after wave of people from various places who were traveling the same way as him.

As the Silver Power that controls Yaoguang City, the Zhuge family naturally attracted many people from various factions to attend the wedding banquet of their second son.

When Jiang Xiaochuan arrived at Zhuge's residence, a long queue had already formed in front of the open gates.

Some important figures who held VIP invitations naturally did not need to queue and could directly enter the mansion by presenting their different invitations.

But others could only obediently wait in line until the servants in charge of registration had registered them in turn before they could enter the mansion.

Although Jiang Xiaochuan had a personal jade pendant given to him by Zhuge Jingxing, he still chose to stand at the back of the line.

After all, a jade pendant is not an invitation and cannot prove how noble one's status is; waiting in line is the safest way.

He didn't want to cause any unpleasantness on someone else's wedding day.
