Chapter 405: The departed Jiang family ancestor

This spiritual pupil spell is called Chaoyang Spiritual Pupil, which was obtained by Jiang Jiazu when he killed a foundation-building bandit cultivator in the outer sea more than ten years ago.

Once this spell is used, it can see through the cultivator's breath disguise and change his appearance.

In the past ten years, he absorbed the morning sun's energy every day, constantly condensed his eyes to practice, and practiced this spiritual pupil spell.

After the Chaoyang Spiritual Pupil was used, a faint bright yellow appeared in Jiang Jiazu's eyes.

When he looked over, he clearly saw the abnormality of Jiang Zhenye, and there were actually black demonic energy surrounding him.

Especially on his face, the demonic energy had condensed to a dark color, which was quite eye-catching.

"Demon... Demon cultivator!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jiazu was greatly shocked. Even though his Tao heart was firm, he almost shouted subconsciously.

He never thought that the patriarch who usually behaved dignifiedly would be so righteous and actually a demon cultivator with a hidden identity.

If he had not known Chaoyang's extraordinary spiritual pupils and would not have been wrong, how could he have believed this result?

"What a sin!"

At this moment, Jiang Jiazu's heart was in turmoil.

He couldn't help but think of Jiang Zhenye's strange behavior in recent years. He often went into seclusion and was not seen by people. He was mysterious. I'm afraid that he had already turned to practicing magic at that time.

In addition, Jiang Zhenye's temperament has changed recently, and his emotions are unpredictable. It's like a different person. All these changes combined explain everything.

Point it out or pretend to be unaware, two choices quickly emerged in his mind.

But soon, Jiang Jiazu made a choice on the spot.

"If I reveal his identity as a demon cultivator in public, how many people in the family will believe it?"

"Doing so will only arouse the murderous intent of this demon. I'm afraid he will kill me first. How can I be his opponent?"

"For now, it's better to protect yourself. There is a purple mansion demon cultivator in the family. We don't know how many heinous crimes this demon has committed. The whole family will be implicated!"

"Before, Jiang Jingyu was blinded by greed and pushed the family into the fire pit. Now there is a purple mansion demon cultivator hiding. All the ancestors of the Jiang family, don't blame me for abandoning the family today."

Having made a decision in his heart, Jiang Jiazu secretly gritted his teeth and ignored Jiang Jingyu. He didn't bother to notify other members of the family, worried that there were demon cultivators who were also related.

He found the right opportunity to slip out of the hall, flew down Yanhuang Mountain alone, and flew all the way to Xingluo Islands, deciding to hide for a while.

While Jiang Jiazu left, the meeting was still going on in the Jiang family hall.

The Jiang family is huge, with a total of 1,002 cultivators, including two Purple Mansion cultivators and 32 foundation-building cultivators.

The main reason why there is such a large population of cultivators is that the Jiang family welcomes all outside cultivators, as long as they marry into the family or change their surnames after marrying into the Jiang family.

The Jiang family itself is the first family in the Xingsha Islands. With this reputation, it has a great appeal to the surrounding cultivators.

In recent years, the Jiang family has absorbed many cultivators to join the family and has continued to expand its scale.

But it is also because of this that the Jiang family, because 30% to 40% are not cultivators of the same clan, the family cohesion is far less than that of the Zhang family and the Chen family, which are authentic immortal families.

However, with the Purple Mansion cultivators as a force to suppress and various welfare to maintain, many cultivators will still choose to stand on the side of the Jiang family.

Unless they encounter a catastrophe of genocide, they will advance and retreat with the Jiang family on weekdays.

At this clan meeting, many cultivators had different ideas.

Cultivators from the family, such as the Jiang family ancestor, one of the Sheng generation, and two of the Jia generation, are not willing to take action against the Chen family.

They know that once such a family war breaks out, even if the Jiang family can win in the end, it will definitely hurt its vitality.

This result is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of the family, and they must be wary of the loose cultivators in the family who will rebel and take the opportunity to usurp power.

After all, among the 32 foundation-building cultivators in the family, 20 are loose cultivators.

In the past ten years, the top leaders of the Jiang family have been dedicated to promoting their own family members, and have poured resources into the direct bloodline of the Jiang family ancestor to help open up the Purple Mansion.

This approach has made several loose cultivators in the family who are at the peak of foundation building dissatisfied, thinking that the family still favors their own family members and treats them as outsiders.

The internal conflicts of the Jiang family are often caused by the cultivators of the family and the loose cultivators of other races, and it is difficult to get along harmoniously.

For this reason, the top leaders of the Jiang family have a headache about this problem, and can only issue more salaries to pacify and govern.

The Jiang family casually absorbed casual cultivators into the family and changed their names, which eventually led to the intensification of conflicts within the family and made it difficult to cure them. This made many immortal cultivation families in the Xingsha Islands take it as a warning.

This time, more than 80% of the clan members who called for war and followed Jiang Zhenye were outsiders who joined the Jiang family.

They were full of fighting spirit and wanted to suppress the Chen family to plunder resources, profit from it, and consolidate their position in the Jiang family. Those who were a little ambitious wanted to turn the tables.

If the family can't give too many benefits, then go and rob other families. This is the voice of many casual cultivators in the Jiang family.

The Jiang family has inherited the genealogy of "Zong Xian Shi Qi, Gao Teng Xiu Qi, Zhen Jia Sheng Jing, Zhong Liang Shan Wei" for more than 800 years.

Now it has developed to the Zhong character generation, and many cultivators have agreed to go to war and kill the Chen family together to boost the prestige of the Jiang family.

On this day, the morale of the Jiang family was soaring. In their opinion, the number of cultivators alone was enough to crush the Chen family.

Since the head of the family is at the peak of the Purple Mansion, such a powerful strength is no match for ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.

Not to mention Chen Xianming and Chen Qingyun who have only opened up the Purple Mansion for a few years.

Jiang Zhenye counted the family's high-level combat power and found that Jiang Jiazu had disappeared. He sent a message but received no response. He began to ask other people if they had seen Jiang Jiazu.

"I saw him in the hall just now, but I don't know where he went now."

The third elder Jiang Shengguang shook his head repeatedly, puzzled.

"Second elder, this is what happened. Why did he disappear at the critical moment? We might as well wait for him first. His cultivation is in the Purple Mansion period. As long as he participates in the battle, he will be a great help."

Several family elders also nodded, thinking that the two Purple Mansion cultivators would definitely win.

"Don't pay attention to him. It's better to leave a Purple Mansion cultivator to guard, so as not to let outsiders take advantage of the loophole."

Jiang Zhenye looked solemn and said loudly: "First, wipe out the Chen family, and then look for the second elder."

A large number of Jiang family cultivators gathered, and under the organization of Jiang Zhenye, they opened the family treasury to receive equipment and improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible.

Twelve foundation-building cultivators from the clan were left behind, and more than 400 Qi-refining cultivators were stationed in the clan land to start the island protection formation.

Jiang Zhenye waved his hand and led 20 foundation-building cultivators and 500 Qi-refining cultivators to gather at the dock, boarding ten spirit ships, each with 52 people, and headed towards Lingjian Island.

Among these cultivators who went to fight, 80% were independent cultivators, and those who stayed in Yanhuang Mountain were basically the direct descendants of the family to prevent the family from breaking out in civil strife.

Yanhuang Mountain and Lingjian Island are both located in the east of Xingsha Islands, with a distance of about 20,000 miles between them. According to the speed of a first-level spirit ship, it can be reached in two days at most.

Because the Chen family often pays attention to the dynamics of various places in Xingsha Islands, especially guarding against the Jiang family, after the Jiang family's spirit ships were deployed on a large scale, the news quickly spread in the Chen family.
