Hiss...
At this sight, the Jiang Family cultivators and Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators present all involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.
The experts gathered from the Northern Region, Eastern Wilderness, and Western Desert had actually been wiped out just like that, without the slightest ability to resist.
This was simply too shocking!
"Northern Region Jiang Family thanks Senior for saving our lives!"
"Northern Region Heavenly Demon Sect thanks Senior for saving our lives!"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wuhui and Lian Nishang both respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord, overflowing with gratitude toward her.
"No need. I merely did this to avenge Little Xuan."
The Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord turned to look at the Jiang Family and Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators, smiling faintly as she spoke.
"Senior's great kindness shall never be forgotten! But may I ask when Senior took Xuan'er as her disciple?"
Jiang Wuhui smiled brightly as he asked respectfully.
"You are Little Xuan's father, aren't you? Your strength is not bad, to have reached this point in this Dharma-ending age where spiritual energy has dried up."
The Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord did not directly answer Jiang Wuhui's question. Instead, she praised him before asking:
"Do you know which forces those fellows who knew neither the height of heaven nor the depth of earth came from?"
"Senior, they came respectively from the Northern Region Wang Family, the Eastern Wilderness Ancestral Dragon's Nest, the Western Desert Mount Sumeru..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuhui immediately listed every force that had come to Everlasting Heaven in the Northern Region to encircle and kill Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang.
"Good. I understand."
After listening, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord nodded lightly.
Then, she turned to Jiang Xuan and said, "Little Xuan, after you settle the matters in the Northern Region, you may take my token and head to the Heavenly Evolution Sacred Land in the Eastern Wilderness yourself. The Sacred Land's Holy Lord will arrange everything for you."
After leaving behind these words, a ripple suddenly spread through the void, and the Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Senior is... going to wipe out those forces?!"
Looking at the empty void, even Jiang Wuhui was greatly startled, finding it difficult to believe.
There had been more than twenty forces in the list he had just given, and all of them were fairly major powers in the Northern Region, Eastern Wilderness, and Western Desert.
Those forces were scattered across the three great regions, separated by distances through space beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Yet that Senior was actually going to destroy every last one of them.
This was simply too horrifying!
"Father, don't worry. My master is strong—extremely strong. She can accomplish all of this alone."
At that moment, Jiang Xuan stepped forward and said to Jiang Wuhui with a smile.
"Hahaha, Xuan'er, I truly never expected you to have such a terrifying master!"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's voice, Jiang Wuhui turned around and immediately revealed an incomparably radiant smile.
"Little Xuan, we truly owe it all to your master this time. Otherwise, this old man, your father, and the entire Jiang Family might all have faced annihilation..."
Jiang Ruochen also walked over, lightly patting Jiang Xuan's shoulder as he spoke with a smile.
"Ninth Ancestor, Jiang Xuan saw everything that happened earlier. I also know that everything you did was for my sake. I will remember all of it—all of it—in my heart. I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Xuan looked at the Ninth Ancestor, Jiang Ruochen. Seeing his face, even older than before, and the deep wrinkles upon it, a wave of bitterness rose in Jiang Xuan's heart as he spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Hahaha, Little Xuan, you are the strongest prodigy the Jiang Family has ever had. If this old man's life could be exchanged for yours, then my life would have been worth it!"
Jiang Ruochen said with a heartfelt laugh.
"Ninth Ancestor, fortunately, you did not fall. Otherwise, I fear Jiang Xuan would never have been able to let it go for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Xuan said.
Everything that had happened today allowed him to feel the warmth of his Lineage, and it also made him swear in his heart that he would grow stronger.
Though he had the system, he still could not summon powerful backers in time every single time.
Just like today, the Ninth Ancestor had nearly died before his very eyes.
"Little Xuan, it is all over now. There is no need to mention it again. It is enough that you remember it in your heart."
The Ninth Ancestor chuckled softly, then looked toward Leng Lingshuang and asked with a smile:
"Little Xuan, aren't you going to introduce this young lady to us?"
At this moment, everyone in the Jiang Family looked toward Leng Lingshuang. They could not help sighing inwardly at what a beautiful girl she was, then looked expectantly at Jiang Xuan, waiting for his answer.
Among them, Jiang Wuhui appeared especially delighted, beaming as he gazed at Leng Lingshuang.
He had no objection whatsoever to having such a beautiful girl as his daughter-in-law.
"Brother Jiang Xuan..."
Leng Lingshuang also looked at Jiang Xuan expectantly, gently linking her arm through his.
At this moment, the Empress's pretty face was crimson, and she appeared exceptionally bashful.
"Ninth Ancestor, Father, everyone in the Lineage, her name is Leng Lingshuang. She is my... Dao companion!"
Jiang Xuan glanced at Leng Lingshuang and said with a smile.
"Hahaha! Excellent!"
"Splendid!!"
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's answer, everyone in the Jiang Family burst into laughter, offering their congratulations to Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang, this pair of Dao companions.
"Ling Shuang, you have finally caught on. Didn't I say Jiang Xuan was quite good? Not only is his talent outstanding and his background powerful, he is handsome too."
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's reply, Lian Nishang also smiled knowingly, happy for Leng Lingshuang.
For a heaven-favored prodigy of Jiang Xuan's status to acknowledge her identity before his clansmen meant that Jiang Xuan truly recognized Leng Lingshuang. He was not merely fooling around.
This made Lian Nishang sincerely happy that Leng Lingshuang had found her own happiness.
Brother Jiang Xuan acknowledged my identity before his clansmen! But I cultivate demonic arts... Jiang Xuan's clansmen will not reject me because of that, will they?
Leng Lingshuang was delighted inwardly, yet she was also somewhat worried.
"Ninth Ancestor, Father, everyone in the Lineage, Ling Shuang cultivates demonic arts. You will not be unable to accept that, will you?"
Seeing Leng Lingshuang like this, Jiang Xuan immediately saw through her worries. He looked toward everyone in the Jiang Family and asked.
"Of course not! What is wrong with demonic arts? Where in this world is there any distinction between righteous and demonic? So long as one does not truly commit acts that wound heaven and defy reason, what is so unusual about being a little decisive in slaughter?"
"That is right. In this world, every person who reaches the summit possesses both Buddha and demon within!"
"Exactly! Besides, do those Buddhist sect fellows who boast of delivering all living beings not also do things in the shadows that benefit only themselves? It is nothing. The demonic path is instead more honest and forthright."
In an instant, everyone in the Jiang Family spoke up one after another.
As a relatively powerful force, their views naturally were not as shallow as those of ordinary people.
Most of the time, this world was not simply black or white. It was a meticulously polished, exquisitely refined gray!
If an expert could not even see through that, then they would likely go no further.
As for people, simple kindness alone was useless.
That was a quality only the strongest of the strong could possess.
If ordinary people pursued it, the result would most likely be a brutal lesson from this world!
"See, Ling Shuang? The people of my Jiang Family are not so stubborn and pedantic. You need not worry."
Jiang Xuan said to Leng Lingshuang with a smile.
"Mm! Thank you, Uncle, Ancestor, everyone, for your understanding!"
Leng Lingshuang smiled brightly, radiating an innocent purity. At that moment, she even possessed a little of the air of a girl next door.
"Hahaha, Ling Shuang, there is no need for this. Sooner or later, we will be one family. Why speak of thanks?"
Jiang Wuhui said with a bright smile.
"Ling Shuang, this ancestor can tell that you are also an exceptionally powerful prodigy. At such a young age, you have already broken through to the Ninth Heaven of Dragon Transformation. You are perfectly matched with Little Xuan!"
The Ninth Ancestor praised Leng Lingshuang's cultivation.
"That must be the future in-law, correct? Please take care of us in the future!"
At this moment, Jiang Wuhui looked toward Lian Nishang and said with a smile. "To become in-laws with a God King is my honor!"
Lian Nishang's white hair fluttered as she cupped her hands in greeting.
Though she was Leng Lingshuang's master, eighteen years spent together day and night had long made them as close as mother and daughter.
Therefore, she had no objection whatsoever to this identity.
"Splendid!"
Jiang Wuhui laughed heartily, his hearty laughter echoing between heaven and earth.
