Second Master Jiang's Excitement

"Second Master, this is an urgent distress signal! We must get there immediately!"

Outside the young clan leader's residence, a trusted aide saw the signal in the sky and quickly spoke to Second Master Jiang beside him.

"Snort!"

Second Master Jiang snorted coldly, "The eldest brother is lucky today, but he's delusional to think he can escape being expelled like this. Come with me!"

He dared not delay for even a moment. An emergency call for help was no joke. If the city gates were suddenly breached, his position would be in jeopardy, and even taking over the leadership would be of no use.

At the city gate, the captain of the guard looked at the carriage with undiminished worry. If Lord Changsun were to die in front of them, he would be implicated. He wondered what Lord Changsun was thinking, rushing to his death.

If you want to die, fine, but why at the city gate? Couldn't you have gone somewhere else?

Inside the carriage, Jiang Yan sensed something was wrong after giving a pill to his sixth concubine and the Little Thirteen. A terrifying aura surged towards him, and when he looked at the source, he saw that his fingers were infected with the plague.

"I never imagined this plague was so terrible. No wonder Grandpa and the High Priest drove them both out of the city, leaving them to fend for themselves in Red Maple Valley."

After muttering a sentence, Jiang Yan immediately activated the spiritual power within his body. When the spiritual power touched the plague aura, the plague on his fingertips stopped spreading and was suppressed by the spiritual power.

However, suppression alone is not enough. If these plagues cannot be completely eradicated, they will spread again once his spiritual energy is exhausted.

His instinctive reaction was to cut his finger and then expel the plague from his body.

But Jiang Yan quickly dismissed the idea; he wanted to see if he could completely purify the plague with his spiritual power.

A divine light emanated from Jiang Yan's body. He had awakened the Jade Purity Divine Physique while he was at the Dao-Seeking Sect. In his master's words, the Jade Purity Divine Light could neutralize all toxins and plagues in the world, so he decided to try it out on this plague first.

Sure enough, as his Jade Purity Divine Physique was activated, the plague on his hand vanished without a trace.

Under the protection of the Jade Purity Divine Light, the aunt and the Little Thirteen's complexions visibly improved.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan's lips curled up slightly: I have finally found a way to break the plague, and the crisis of the Heavenly Fire Tribe can be easily resolved.

He continued to urge the divine light, intending to heal Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen as soon as possible. As his divine light spread, the entire carriage was enveloped in it.

The group of people who had been kneeling beside the carriage were all stunned by what they saw.

The captain of the guard muttered, "What... what kind of light is this?"

Just as he was still in shock, the city gates opened, and with a rumbling sound of footsteps, Second Master Jiang led his army out of the city. When they saw the carriage shrouded in divine light, they were stunned.

For some reason, Second Master Jiang felt a strange sensation as he looked at the unusual carriage.

He addressed the kneeling captain of the guard, "Hu Huo, why did you send the signal?"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard quickly stood up and said, "Reporting to General Changsun, he entered the carriage carrying people with the plague. I dared not conceal this and immediately sent word to the officials in the city."

Such a good thing! Second Master Jiang never expected to encounter such a wonderful thing when he led his troops to the city gate.

Compared to his elder brother, his nephew Jiang Yan was his real rival to become the clan leader. His previous expulsion of his elder brother's family was merely an attempt to deliver a heavy blow to Jiang Yan. If Jiang Yan lost his family, what would he have to fight against him?

But now it's all useless; it's a foregone conclusion that Jiang Yan has contracted the disease.

It seems that Lord Fire God is on my side, Jiang Lie's side.

At the same time, several figures flew to the city wall. They saw Second Master Jiang leading a large army at the city gate. One of the priests asked, "A-Lie, what exactly happened?"

When Second Master Jiang saw the person asking the question, the smile on his lips was even harder to suppress than AK's. He forced a smile and said, "Reporting to Third Uncle, Little Yan ignored the city guards' objections and got into Sixth Sister-in-law and Little Thirteen's carriage without permission. He has probably already contracted the plague."

Is this really true?

The second priest stared at the divine light emanating from the carriage, his brow furrowed. He had only ever seen such light on the Shaman God; why was it appearing on this carriage?

Could it be that A-Yan has received the inheritance of the Shaman God?

Seeing that his third uncle remained silent, Second Master Jiang continued, "Third Uncle, although A-Yan is the future chieftain of our Heavenly Fire Tribe, he has now contracted the plague. I suggest we burn the carriage on the spot to avoid any negative impact on our Heavenly Fire Tribe."

Before the second priest could speak, Jiang Yan's imposing voice rang out from inside the carriage. "Second Uncle, who told you I've contracted the plague?"

The voice carried the pressure of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, making even Second Master Jiang, a Spirit Condensation expert, wary. How could this kid become so powerful in just three years since leaving home?

This child must not be allowed to live, otherwise I will be no match for him in the future!

"A-Yan, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's voice, the second priest's face instantly lit up with joy, and he turned his gaze toward the carriage.

"Third Grandfather, please wait a moment. I am treating Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen. The plague will be dispelled from their bodies in less than half an hour."

Jiang Yan's voice suddenly became very gentle and respectful, completely different from his previous confrontation with Second Master Jiang, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

"You!"

Second Master Jiang knew perfectly well that this kid was deliberately targeting him, but with Third Uncle here, he couldn't do anything about it.

The second priest said, "Very well, I will give you half an hour, but I must inform the high priest and your grandfather about this matter."

"Promise."

After Jiang Yan responded, he continued treating Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen. In his opinion, it wouldn't take half an hour at all, but he wanted to further confirm the effect of his divine light and the efficacy of the medicine, so he asked for a little more time.

As time passed, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Fire Tribe, as well as Jiang Yan's father, the frail young clan leader, appeared on the city wall.

After hearing the second priest's account, each of them wore a different expression. The young clan leader, however, clenched his teeth, thinking to himself, "A-Yan, you're foolish! Why did you do such a ridiculous thing? It's one thing for an aunt and a sister to die, but why did you have to throw your own life away? Without you, how will our family survive?"

The clan chief and the high priest stared intently at the divine light, and after a while, the two began to communicate with each other using their divine senses.

"High Priest, do you see divine light emanating from that chariot?"

"That's right, it is indeed divine light. The only difference is that the divine light on the carriage is completely different from the divine light we've seen before. I wonder which Shaman God's legacy A-Yan received?"

"As long as it's not the Water God's legacy, that's fine. If it's the Water God's inheritance, we won't be able to protect A-Yan either."

As the two were exchanging thoughts, the divine light on the carriage dissipated.

All eyes immediately focused on the carriage. With a creak, the carriage door opened, and Jiang Yan, holding his sister's hand and helping his aunt, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, and the young clan leader exclaimed with ecstatic joy, "Little Thirteen is cured! Little Thirteen has really been cured! Father, the plague in our Heavenly Fire Tribe can be cured!"

No one knew Little Thirteen's condition better than him. When he sent Little Thirteen out of the manor earlier, Little Thirteen was already unconscious. He couldn't even walk, let alone breathe. Now he appeared in front of him safe and sound. He didn't need to guess to know that Jiang Yan had succeeded!

Those around him belatedly came to their senses after hearing the young clan leader's exclamations and cheers.

If what the young clan leader said is true, then they all won't have to worry about the plague, and their families won't have to be driven to Red Maple Valley.

The clan chief, with a stern expression, interrupted his son and asked, "A-Shuo, is what you say true?"

The young clan leader hurriedly said, "Your son would never dare to deceive you, Father. Please investigate thoroughly."

"Um."

The chieftain scanned Little Thirteen with his divine sense and then said, "The plague on Little Thirteen has indeed been cleared. It seems that my Heavenly Fire Tribe has found a way to eradicate the plague."

Upon hearing this, cheers erupted throughout the city gate area.

"Fire, fire, fire!"

Second Master Jiang was completely dumbfounded by what he saw. He never expected that the situation would turn around so suddenly when he had victory in his grasp. Even the soldiers behind him were cheering for Jiang Yan.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he steeled himself and said, "Father, you can't just believe my elder brother's side of the story. We didn't even see A-Yan cure the plague with our own eyes, so how can we be sure he really has a way to cure it?"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Jiang Yan...
