That Chen Feng Could Not Possibly Have an Immortal's Treasure!

"Aunt!" Jiang Chen hurried over to Jiang Hong and bowed.

To Jiang Chen, his aunt was their Lineage's greatest backer. As long as she was there, not many people in the Yue Kingdom would dare lay a hand on the Jiang Household.

He would also have to rely on his aunt, who held a post in the imperial capital, in the future.

"There's a lot going on in the imperial capital. I only found time to come back today. Tell me, what was so urgent that you called me back?" Jiang Hong stroked Jiang Chen's head and smiled.

Jiang Yaotian had not told Jiang Hong what it was about in his letter, also to keep the matter secret.

Jiang Yaotian said in a grave voice, "We've discovered someone who may possess an immortal's treasure!"

At those words, the smile vanished from Jiang Hong's face, replaced by a serious expression.

"Big Brother, tell me everything."

Jiang Hong flashed over and sat down beside Jiang Yaotian. She was so fast that the Xiantian martial artists present could not see her movements at all.

The members of the Jiang Household could not help feeling proud.

With a Transformation Realm expert like Jiang Hong among them, the Jiang Household could continue to flourish.

Jiang Yaotian then told her about Chen Feng.

After hearing Jiang Yaotian's account, Jiang Hong did not speak immediately. Instead, she tapped her fingers lightly on the table as she thought.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Jiang Hong to speak.

"Big Brother, you haven't investigated Chen Feng's background thoroughly enough," Jiang Hong said.

Jiang Yaotian replied helplessly, "This is as much as I could find out. He founded the Xingfeng Sect on Hengduan Mountain three months ago, mainly engaging in mining and trade. As for anything before that, I couldn't find a thing."

Jiang Hong nodded slightly. "I'll send a letter to the imperial capital and ask the people there to investigate."

The Jiang Household's intelligence capabilities were lacking, so it was only natural that they could not find out. The imperial family's intelligence capabilities, however, were among the best in the entire Yue Kingdom.

The imperial family had spies in nearly every corner of the Yue Kingdom. Investigating Chen Feng of Hengduan Mountain would be no difficult task.

Jiang Yaotian then asked, "Sister Hong, you hold a post in the imperial capital and have seen far more than we have. Do you think Chen Feng really has an immortal's treasure?"

Jiang Hong gave a scornful laugh. "Big Brother, Chen Feng definitely doesn't have an immortal's treasure."

Everyone was astonished. None of them had expected Jiang Hong to give such a decisive answer.

Jiang Hong continued, "Although I've never met an immortal, I have learned a few things about them."

"An immortal's treasure requires Spiritual Qi to activate. Without Spiritual Qi, even if an immortal's treasure fell into the hands of a mortal or a martial artist, it would be completely useless."

"And only immortal cultivators at the Qi Refining stage can condense Spiritual Qi."

"In the entire Yue Kingdom, the only Qi Refining immortal cultivator I know of is the previous-generation patriarch of the Yue Kingdom. No one knows how many years he's spent in seclusion."

Jiang Yaotian and the others looked shocked. It was the first time they had heard about the realms of immortal cultivators.

"In that case, Chen Feng really doesn't have an immortal's treasure." Jiang Yaotian was somewhat disappointed.

The other members of the Jiang Household looked just as disappointed.

They had mobilized the strength of their entire household and even called Jiang Hong back, all because they wanted to obtain an immortal's treasure and help the Jiang Household rise.

Now that they knew Chen Feng could not possibly have an immortal's treasure, they were naturally deeply disappointed.

Only an immortal cultivator could activate an immortal's treasure, and in the entire Yue Kingdom, there was probably only the patriarch Jiang Hong had mentioned.

Chen Feng must have used some other means to kill Jiang Xiao and He Sandao.

Jiang Hong continued, "Although Chen Feng doesn't have an immortal's treasure, he probably has other secrets. Since I'm already here, I'll deal with him while I'm at it and see what secrets he has."

Jiang Chen spoke up. "Aunt, I've already gathered our people. We can make our move at any time!"

Jiang Chen could hardly wait to storm the Xingfeng Sect and make Chen Feng kneel before him and beg for mercy. He had not forgotten Chen Feng's attitude a few days ago, which had greatly displeased him.

Jiang Hong shook her head and said:

"There's no hurry. I'll send a secret letter shortly. We'll make our move after word comes back from the imperial capital."

Jiang Hong was cautious as well. Although Chen Feng could not possibly have an immortal's treasure, there was no guarantee he did not have some backing. They still needed to investigate him carefully.

Jiang Chen bowed at once. "I'll follow your orders, Aunt."

Although Jiang Chen wanted to attack the Xingfeng Sect right away, his aunt had spoken, so he could only wait a little longer and let Chen Feng live a while more.

Jiang Yaotian suddenly said, "Sister Hong, is there any hope of our Jiang Household entering the imperial capital?"

Although Liuyang Town was the largest of the towns in the surrounding area, it was still far inferior to the imperial capital.

Moreover, Liuyang Town was close to several great mountain ranges and lay on the Yue Kingdom's border. If war broke out, the Jiang Household would be in danger.

Jiang Hong said, "Big Brother, the Jiang Household can stay in Liuyang Town. Even if it entered the imperial capital, it would only be a minor household. I'm merely a commander of the Forbidden Martial Guard. I'm not enough to protect the Jiang Household and help it establish a foothold in the imperial capital!"

Jiang Yaotian was unwilling to accept it.

"Sister Hong, you're already a Transformation Realm expert. Can't you protect our Jiang Household?"

Their Jiang Household had stayed in a small place like this for hundreds of years.

No one knew that the Jiang Household had once been a major household in the Jiang Kingdom. But after the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed by the Yue Kingdom, the Jiang Household had fallen into decline.

Jiang Yaotian had always longed to restore the Lineage.

Jiang Hong smiled bitterly. "Big Brother, although the Transformation Realm is the limit for mortals, there are stronger and weaker experts even within that realm. In the imperial capital alone, I know of more than a dozen Transformation Realm experts."

"I'm nothing to speak of in the imperial capital. If our Jiang Household established itself there, the other forces would be sure to suppress it."

Hearing that, Jiang Yaotian sighed. "If only our Jiang Household could produce an immortal cultivator!"

Jiang Hong gave a self-deprecating smile at his words. An immortal cultivator-even she could only dream of such a thing.

Even in the Yue Kingdom's imperial family, only the previous-generation patriarch was at the Qi Refining stage. None of the other members of the imperial family had the aptitude for immortal cultivation. One could imagine how difficult the path of immortal cultivation was.

"I'll go send the secret letter first. A reply from the imperial capital should arrive tomorrow. We'll make our move then."

Jiang Hong then left the main hall. She did not want to delay too long either; she had taken leave to return to her Lineage this time.

The Yue Kingdom used a special kind of feathered beast to deliver letters. These birds could travel a thousand li in a day, and many major forces kept them as a means of delivering messages.

The Yue Kingdom's imperial capital was about six hundred li from Liuyang Town. Only a bird could carry a letter back within a day.

Chen Feng appeared in Jack's office. After teaching Wang Hu and the others how to use firearms, he had returned to the modern world.

Chen Feng opened the door to the room. Two gang underlings were guarding the entrance.

Both underlings looked respectful when they saw Chen Feng appear.

"Lord God!"

Chen Feng paid no attention to how the two underlings addressed him and instead asked, "Has Jack returned?"

Chen Feng did not want to stay in Eagle Sauce Country too long. He needed to deliver the painting to Xingfeng Mining soon. Otherwise, production would remain at a standstill, and how would they reach an output of twenty thousand tons?

"The boss came back a long time ago, but you've been in the room the whole time, and he didn't dare disturb you. So he told us to guard the door. I'll notify him right away."

One of the underlings immediately took out his phone and began notifying him.
