I Want to Challenge the Immortal Great Emperor to a One-on-One Fight!
"The Immortal Great Emperor is Lin Ye!"
"Lin Ye was once my second steward, and the creator of the Jiang Clan's Night Guard!"
Inside the grotto.
Jiang Wuji's face was extremely ugly as he paced back and forth.
With the exposure of this Diary by the Immortal Great Emperor, he has completely lost face.
Besides.
Jiang Wuji then thought of an even more terrifying possibility and whispered:
"Last time, Ye Xi knew everything about our actions, so I suspected there was a traitor among us!"
"Could it be...?"
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, "This traitor is from my Jiang Clan?"
Currently, this seems to be the most likely possibility!
Jiang Wuji ashamed and angry, feeling deeply ashamed. Didn't this just confirm the evaluation of him in the Diary?
Ambitious but incompetent, utterly foolish.
They always talk about being in control of everything, but in reality, they can't control a single thing.
Jiang Wuji was arrogant and always looked down on others.
He was only now discovering that even his own family harbored spies, a discovery that dealt him a severe blow.
However, regardless of the circumstances.
The most important thing now is to face the facts.
"If things continue like this, the Jiang Clan is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the An Clan!"
Jiang Wuji a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm.
Then he slowly walked out of the cave.
Fifteen minutes later, in an ancient pavilion within the Jiang Clan Territory.
All members of the Jiang Clan above the Body Integration Stage, as well as some absolute core retainers and guest elders, gathered here.
There were several dozen people, lined up in two rows.
Everyone wore solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
They are all deeply intertwined with the Jiang Clan; their fates are intertwined. If the Jiang Clan falls, they will all die together.
Now, the Jiang Clan's great ship has been forced into a corner by the storm...
"Call--"
Jiang Wuji, with his silver hair, stood at the head of the table, his expression now calm, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
"I'm sure everyone has read the Diary!"
"The Immortal Great Emperor's scheme is quite clever; he wants to use this mudslinging method to smear and defame me!"
Jiang Wuji's tone turned serious as he spoke, "However, I'm sure everyone knows who I am!"
"For thousands of years, under my rule, the Jiang Clan has flourished, rivaling any super sect or top Holy Land!"
Many people's eyes flickered, and they nodded repeatedly.
One of them, a tall, fierce-looking middle-aged man, stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"Our ancestor is the sky of our Jiang Clan! He is the soul of the Jiang Clan, leading the clan to create one glorious achievement after another!"
"I, Chu Jiang, swear that I will forever follow Ancestor Wuji. Anyone who dares to speak ill of Ancestor Wuji will be the first to object, as commanded by my Night Guard!"
As Chu Jiang spoke, his tall frame suddenly knelt down.
He kowtowed to Jiang Wuji utmost piety, prostrating himself on the ground.
This scene made it impossible for the others present to remain silent any longer, and they all expressed their opinions!
"Indeed! Ancestor Wuji's contributions to the family are evident to all!"
"The Immortal Great Emperor's conspiracy will not succeed. No one in the world believes in Ancestor Wuji, but I do!"
"Let him write whatever he wants, we just won't believe it!"
"Support the Ancestor!"
"I never imagined that the Immortal Great Emperor would be so despicable, resorting to such underhanded tactics."
Chu Jiang suddenly sprang to his feet, roaring, "Find the Immortal Great Emperor! I want to fight him one-on-one!"
The once noisy hall fell silent.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
All eyes were fixed on Chu Jiang, their faces twitching as they burst into laughter.
"Cough!"
Jiang Wuji couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand, saying, "Commander Chu is very kind, I'm very pleased. Please stand aside for now!"
Chu Jiang immediately walked to the side and stood still.
It's like a dog that only obeys orders; if its master tells it to go east, it won't dare to go west.
Jiang Wuji watched this scene, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
His complexion softened somewhat.
He thought to himself, "Although Lin Ye is a spy and the creator of the Night Guard, the Night Guard is still under my control!"
"No one could be the spy, it couldn't be him!"
Chu Jiang was promoted by Jiang Wuji.
He is also one of the people he trusts most at present; otherwise, an outsider would absolutely not be able to take on the role of commander of the Jiang Clan's elite forces.
What Jiang Wuji valued most was undoubtedly his loyalty.
Silence returned to the main hall.
Jiang Wuji's expression turned serious again, and he said, "I have called you all here today to announce something very important!"
"There might still be spies within our Jiang Clan. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
These words made the atmosphere even more somber.
Jiang Wuji continued, "You must thoroughly investigate your respective subordinates!"
"At the same time, Chu Jiang is in charge of a thorough investigation and must find out all suspicious individuals."
Jiang Wuji gritted his teeth, his killing intent surging. "I'd rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Chu Jiang, who had been standing firmly to one side, immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Ancestor is wise! Chu Jiang will certainly live up to this great responsibility!"
"Okay, follow me!"
Jiang Wuji waved his hand and instructed, "Everyone else, go back and make your own arrangements."
The two arrived at the cave where Jiang Wuji lived.
This place is rich in spiritual energy, with all sorts of rare and exotic herbs growing here, and the various palaces and pavilions are exquisitely beautiful.
Jiang Wuji and looked at Chu Jiang, saying, "Could there be spies among the Night Guard?"
Chu Jiang frowned and replied, "I'm not sure. I will investigate thoroughly. However, over the years, everyone who has joined the Night Guard has been screened by their family, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Um."
Jiang Wuji pondered for a moment, nodded, and then asked, "What are your thoughts on that Diary?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang immediately became furious.
"The Immortal Great Emperor' is pure slander. Putting aside everything else, I, Chu Jiang, have always been upright and incorruptible, and I hate sycophants and flatterers more than anything else..."
"Yet the patriarch still promoted me to commander of the Night Guard!"
As Chu Jiang spoke, he angrily shouted, "It's clear that the Diary is pure fabrication! Our ancestor was wise beyond compare; this is a fact known to all!"
Jiang Wuji finally let out a smile and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Jiang continued, "Rumors stop with the wise. I believe that even now, the situation is still under the control of our ancestor!"
"What Immortal Great Emperor, Great Emperor Nicholas, or Great Emperor Zhitong? Before our ancestor, they are nothing but ants!"
"The light of a firefly dares to rival the brilliance of the sun and moon?"
Jiang Wuji felt refreshed and invigorated, and nodded, saying, "Well said, but such words smack of flattery!"
"Don't say this in front of outsiders anymore!"
Chu Jiang looked unconvinced and said aggrievedly, "Ancestor, but what I said is all true!"
Jiang Wuji's smile deepened, slightly tipsy, as he comforted him, "People are foolish; not everyone has your level of understanding."
He wanted to say a few more words, but his expression suddenly changed, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now!"
Without saying a word, Chu Jiang immediately took his leave respectfully and disappeared at the entrance of the cave a moment later.
Jiang Wuji's expression gradually turned serious.
In a flash, he arrived at a secret chamber deep within the cave.
The luminous beads embedded in the wall lit up.
This was a small, secret room. After Jiang Wuji arrived, ripples quickly spread through the space, and more figures appeared.
These figures were all shrouded in cloaks, their faces obscured.
However, the looks in their eyes were filled with extreme shock.
This secret room was carefully equipped with a teleportation array to facilitate communication between Jiang Wuji and others.
"You all sensed it?"
From beneath the cloak, the voice of an old woman rang out.
They both nodded to each other, then looked at Jiang Wuji.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wuji a deep breath and then, in full view of everyone, took out a scroll.
Then it slowly unfolds, slightly yellowed, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Jiang Wuji a deep breath nervously.
This means that a new decree from the Immortal Court has been delivered; they have waited so long, and it has finally arrived.
On the scroll, characters began to appear.
"The Great Emperors of the Lower Realms have rebelled and wreaked havoc on the common people. The Immortal Gate will open soon, and all Great Emperors will ascend immediately!"
"Those who defy will be punished by Heaven, and will be utterly destroyed!"
After reading the contents, Jiang Wuji and the others gasped in shock.
Immediately, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy!
"Hahaha!"
"Heaven is helping us! Heaven is helping us! It must be the robbery of the Desolate Mountain Imperial Prison that has angered the Immortal Court!"
Jiang Wuji laughed heartily, his expression ferocious as he said, "At that time, we won't need to lift a finger."
"Yuan Ruoyu and the others are about to ascend to the Immortal Realm; there will be no more great dangers."
"If they refuse to ascend, it would be a slap in the face to the Immortal Realm. The Four Venerables will take action to eliminate them!"
The others were also very happy; they hadn't expected the Gate of the Immortal Realm to open at this time.
Jiang Wuji's eyes, and he added, "When the Ascension Glow fades, we might be able to find the location of the Immortal Great Emperor..."
"Since he's unwilling to ascend, let's send him to be nourishment. The Venerable Heavenly Punishment has been craving it for a long time."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.
If we could take this opportunity to eliminate the Immortal Great Emperor, that would be ideal, but last time, the Immortal Great Emperor completely ignored the Ascension Glow.
That was three thousand years ago!
So much time has passed, who knows just how powerful he has become?
