Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 386 - 191: Change and Turmoil

If it were just in the mountain, it wouldn’t be hard to find, but the key is that the Barbarians have a summoning technique that can hide them in Ghostly Land.

In the past, the group of Barbarians that invaded Yongzhou did just this, and the group that entered Zouchuan Dao through the tunnel is the same.

However, the sword hanging over all the forces in Zouchuan Dao is the tunnel through which the Barbarians invade, and it still hasn’t been found.

This matter is entrusted to the three sects—Dragon Gate, Jiufeng Mountain, and Taiyi Alliance—while the Jiang Family guards the mountain range to prevent the Barbarians from making a comeback.

After all, there is still a confirmed presence of a Third-Grade Barbarian King.

The outside world is in turmoil; in just half a year, many forces in Zouchuan Dao have been reshuffled, with flags of power changing rapidly...

This is the true face of chaotic times.

A moment later, a figure approached.

"Sect Leader, preparations are nearly complete."

It was You Chen.

Xu Guang nodded, "Let’s wait a bit longer, I have someone arranged to meet, and once we’re done, we’ll take action. No one has escaped during this time, right?"

You Chen nodded vigorously, "Sect Leader, rest assured, there aren’t many who know about Xu Chen Nian’s death in Chuanbei Prefecture. The Three Ancestors of the Jiang Family promised you that the Xu Family would be handled by our Dragon Gate. During this period, Junior Sister Gong Lingyun has been watching closely, and no core members of the Xu Family have escaped nor have they moved any assets."

Xu Chen Nian was the Dark Tower’s Young Fate Master who previously attempted to assassinate Xu Guang at a grand ceremony. His past experiences were quite extensive.

He was an undercover agent in the Buddhist Sect for thirty years, successfully retiring after founding the Xu Family in Shouyang Prefecture and expanding its branches.

No one expected that he secretly controlled such a force as the Dark Tower.

Shouyang Prefecture’s Xu Family...

Mentioning this family, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Guang’s mouth. After all, he had quite the enmity with this family. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Luckily, it can be resolved at once.

...

As evening approached.

The sunset shone upon the distant tavern, with three large characters written on it—Tianya Building. The building’s shadow was ominous, slowly moving with the light.

Surrounding shadows flooded around a few young men and women, all dressed in uniform attire, with a delicate ’Jiang’ character embroidered on their chests, displaying a proud demeanor.

The Zhou Family’s Young Master, White Jade Sect’s Young Sect Leader, Huang Family’s Third Young Master, Tian Family’s Young Clan Leader...

All are prominent figures in Shouyang Prefecture.

The gathering today is merely to celebrate the birthday of a Jiang Family clan lady, Jiang Zirong. Though she isn’t the direct descendant of the Jiang Family, her father once showed kindness to Marquis Bo Wang and treats her as his own. There’s also some gossip that Jiang Zirong is actually Marquis Bo Wang’s illegitimate child.

No matter what, Jiang Zirong’s status merits the pursuit of these forces in Shouyang Prefecture.

"The Jiang Family’s military prowess is godlike; in just over a month, they pushed back the Barbarians. Having the Jiang Family in Zouchuan Dao is truly a blessing."

"I heard Marquis Bo Wang’s accomplishments this time might surpass the current Marquis of Everlasting Victory and become the Jiang Family Leader."

No one would praise Jiang Zirong directly, as that would seem too sycophantic, but complimenting Marquis Bo Wang is just another way of acknowledging Jiang Zirong.

Everyone was sensible, aware of who the host was today.

Amidst the clattering of wine cups, only one figure seemed out of place, sitting in a corner with a stern expression.

"Zi Yun, today is Zirong’s birthday. It was her plea to the clan that allowed you to come out. Have a drink with Zirong."

A girl beside Jiang Zirong flashed a smile, looking at the girl in the corner dressed in a purple Liuxian Skirt, smiling brightly.

Her status was not low, being a relative of Jiang Zirong and her close friend.

A core figure of the gathering.

Thus, everyone’s gaze shifted to Jiang Zi Yun.

Not everything in this world remains unchanged. Last year, Jiang Bai returned to the family for official duties, bringing Jiang Zi Yun with him. But then, the elder who favored Jiang Bai attempted to break through Third Grade, explored the Void Realm, and suffered a fatal injury, passing away in three months.

Jiang Bai lost his base, and Jiang Zi Yun’s situation became equally difficult.

Jiang Zirong looked satisfied as she glanced at her cousin, smiling at Jiang Zi Yun.

She was intensely attracted to strength. Just because of some rumors about Xu Guang, she developed a deep interest in him, and then heard some rumors about Jiang Zi Yun and Xu Guang.

Moreover, both were orphaned from collateral lines and lived together for quite some time. Consequently, she was never content with Jiang Zi Yun.

She had never even met Xu Guang, yet felt Jiang Zi Yun was unworthy of him and thus developed intense envy.

She constantly wanted to overshadow Jiang Zi Yun.

"Zi Yun, won’t you give me face?"

Jiang Zirong gracefully approached Jiang Zi Yun, lifting the wine pot and pouring the wine slowly.

Jiang Zi Yun kept silent, merely watching Jiang Zirong, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

This gaze drove Jiang Zirong mad with frustration, again with the disdainful look.

"If you drink this pot, I can plead to my cousin and let you see your Ghost Hound."

Jiang Zirong’s expression suddenly turned cold.

Many in the Jiang Family were already discontent with her, and coupled with the failure and death of their elder during breakthrough, Marquis Bo Wang, who already had some conflicts with her father, directly imprisoned Little Mink at Demon Refining Peak.

Tian Family’s Young Clan Leader Tian Chuanfeng heard Jiang Zirong’s mention of the name, his expression subtly changed.

Though the Tian Family is in Shouyang Prefecture, his elder brother, now the strongest among the young Tian Family generation, is a disciple at Dragon Gate’s First Tribulation Institute, valued by Zuo Chun, with a chance to become the head of the institute.

He greatly appreciated his elder brother, who had great talent yet gave up the position of the Tian Family leader to go to Dragon Gate.

If memory serves, Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader seems to have quite a few rumors with Jiang Zi Yun.
