#32 - Chapter 032 Someone wants to dig up Jiang Shang’s grave

As dawn approached, Jiang Ning exited the secret chamber, preparing to return to the ancestral land.

Just as he stepped out, he encountered Sun Yuchan, her tall figure accentuated by white, long boots that highlighted her impressive long legs.

It was hard to believe that this tall beauty with such stunning long legs was the daughter of a dwarf who barely reached a meter in height.

"Sect Master."

Sun Yuchan greeted him respectfully.

Her height was only slightly shorter than Jiang Ning's, who stood at around 1.8 meters.

"Here are my compiled cultivation insights. Take them."

Sun Yuchan was currently one of his trusted aides, but her strength was still too weak.

Jiang Ning planned to boost her power in a short amount of time.

Otherwise, if anything happened in the future, he would have to take action himself. What was the point of establishing the Heavenly Gate then?

The purpose of the Heavenly Gate was to solve problems and handle matters for him, not to become a source of trouble.

"Thank you, Sect Master," Sun Yuchan said, deeply moved as she accepted the cultivation insights.

She vowed to cultivate diligently.

Jiang Ning then departed.

He had just returned to the ancestral land when he ran into the returning Twin Fiends.

"Master, the Lin family has been exterminated."

"Mm," Jiang Ning nodded, asking, "Were the Lin family's treasures brought back?"

The Twin Fiends froze, then shook their heads.

They only enjoyed killing and apparently lacked the awareness to seize treasures.

Jiang Ning did not blame them, so he said, "Remember for next time: kill and loot treasures."

The gains from Yan Wang had ignited a fervor in Jiang Ning's heart.

Killing and looting treasures was indeed the fastest way to make money.

"Yes, Master, we will remember," the Twin Fiends said, engraving the concept of killing and looting treasures deeply into their souls.

In the future, when they killed, they would take the victim's treasures.

Afterward, Jiang Ning dismissed them.

He returned to the bamboo house.

Little Li and the little fox were fast asleep, thanks to Jiang Ning's efforts.

"There's still half an hour until dawn. I'll sleep for a while."

Although Jiang Ning had achieved considerable cultivation, he had not yet transcended into sainthood. He still needed a short nap each day to restore his energy.

Just as he lay down on the bed, the little fox seemed to sense something and burrowed directly into his arms.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "This little fellow's affection for me is growing deeper and deeper."

Jiang Ning had gradually come to accept the little fox as his family.

...

The next day.

The news that the Lin family had been brutally exterminated overnight spread throughout Great Xia.

Looking at the hellish scene in the Lin residence, those who came to see couldn't help but vomit.

It was too cruel, too bloody.

Everyone was terrified, wondering who had done it.

Even the Great Xia Dynasty dispatched the Yinglong Guards (similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard) to investigate the Lin family's extermination.

The chief commander personally set out.

Sensing the powerful baleful aura in the surroundings, his expression drastically changed.

With his extensive knowledge, he finally realized something.

"Twin Fiend Puppetry, the Demonic Sect!"

Therefore, he dared not investigate further.

To be able to cultivate the Twin Fiend Puppetry technique, one had to be at least a Demonic Saint of the Demonic Sect.

Involving a Demonic Saint was something Great Xia simply couldn't handle.

He had no choice but to report the matter to the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

The Lin family's extermination had a tremendous impact on Great Xia.

Panic spread, and everyone was on edge.

Even a large family like the Lin family had been exterminated, and in such a gruesome manner.

How could people not be afraid?

...

The instigator of the Lin family's extermination, Jiang Ning, was unaffected.

During the day, he still went to the Stone Tablet Forest to wipe the stone tablets, taking the opportunity to comprehend the inheritances within.

The Stone Tablet Forest was like an ocean, and even if Jiang Ning had thousands of years, he wouldn't be able to comprehend it all.

After all, this was the accumulation of the Jiang family over hundreds of thousands of years.

At night, Jiang Ning went to the Heavenly Gate stronghold to create his second avatar.

Thus, another month quickly passed.

Jiang Ning successfully broke through to the sixth level of the Heaven-Man Realm.

And his second avatar was successfully completed.

Looking at the person in front of him, who was identical to himself, Jiang Ning was extremely satisfied.

"Receive!"

A ray of light enveloped the second avatar and then flew into Jiang Ning's divine sea.

"With a second avatar, I now have an extra life."

The corners of Jiang Ning's mouth curved up in a smile.

Even many Great Emperors couldn't create a second avatar, yet he, a mere Heaven-Man cultivator, possessed one.

He was probably the first person below the Saint realm in the Xuanhuang World to have a second avatar.

Of course, due to limited resources, the materials used to create it weren't top-tier, so the second avatar's talent wasn't particularly high.

However, Jiang Ning didn't intend for the second avatar to be powerful.

It was merely to be his substitute, his second life.

It was enough for his main body to be strong.

Afterward, Jiang Ning left the secret chamber.

Sun Yuchan diligently guarded the entrance, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Not bad, you've already cultivated to the fifth level of the Wu Ju Realm."

Jiang Ning praised.

Sun Yuchan's talent could definitely be considered heaven-defying.

Unfortunately, the Gate of Life and Death had long declined and couldn't provide her with many resources.

Otherwise, she would have become famous throughout the Xuanhuang World like Wang Youning.

"It's all thanks to the Sect Master's reward of the Demon Saint's flesh and cultivation insights that Yuchan has made such great progress," Sun Yuchan replied.

"Work hard, and you will surely have a place in the Xuanhuang World in the future," Jiang Ning said, gently patting her fragrant shoulder in encouragement.

The Heavenly Gate currently only had the Great Xia branch and was severely lacking in talent.

Talents like Sun Yuchan could naturally be nurtured and entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Sun Yuchan's face flushed slightly, and she quickly nodded, feeling a little hot all over.

Jiang Ning, as an earthling, didn't place much importance on the separation of men and women.

However, Sun Yuchan, as a native of the Xuanhuang World, had the principle of not giving or receiving things intimately ingrained in her bones.

A different kind of feeling suddenly arose in her heart, entangling her and making her face and ears turn red.

...

Ancestral Land.

On this night, it was raining torrentially, exceptionally dark, and one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

In the rain, four figures sneaked into the ancestral land under the cover of darkness.

Raindrops continued to fall, but they couldn't wet the four people's clothes at all.

"Jiang Shang, that old bastard, is finally dead, hahaha, what great news."

A burly man's triumphant laughter rang out.

"That old bastard killed our third brother back then, forcing us to flee Great Xia. This hatred is irreconcilable."

A voice full of hatred rang out.

These four were the Northern Border Five Fiends, each of them a Heaven-Man Realm expert.

The strongest, the eldest, had a fourth-level Heaven-Man Realm cultivation.

Back then, they had committed evil deeds everywhere within Great Xia.

Jiang Shang had taken action, fighting five against one, killing the third brother, and severely injuring the other four fiends, who fled Great Xia, not daring to enter again.

"Although we can't personally take revenge, even if he's dead, we can't let him rest in peace. We must dig up his corpse and torture it severely to avenge our third brother."

"Yes, even if he's dead, we must scatter his bones and ashes to relieve the hatred in our hearts."

"The Jiang family has a Saint. If we do this... won't it bring about a calamity?"

"Jiang Shang's son, Jiang Yu, is also a Quasi-Saint."

A worried voice rang out.

"Jiang Shang has a bad relationship with his son. Back then, he personally ruined his son's love. He won't take action."

"As for the Jiang family's Saint... how could he easily take action in such a trivial matter, after hiding for so many years?"

"Besides, as long as we are careful and sneak into the tomb forest to steal Jiang Shang's corpse, no one will know. A Saint is also a person, not an all-knowing God."

The eldest said.

The Jiang family's ancestral land only had heavily guarded Stone Tablet Forest and Prison Forest.

There was no one guarding the rest.

"Alright, let's quietly go steal Jiang Shang's corpse."

The Northern Border Four Fiends headed towards the tomb forest.

They thought they were being discreet and no one had discovered them.

But they didn't know that Jiang Ning, who was cultivating outside, had heard their conversation.

PS: It's been thundering all the time, I'll post one chapter first, and see about the second chapter later. If it really doesn't work, I'll make it up during the day.
