Was This Ancestor Really Their Own Ancestor?

Jiang Clan.

Upon returning, Jiang Tao immediately summoned the entire Jiang Family.

In the blink of an eye, figures appeared on the field.

The next moment, someone spoke up.

"Judging from the expression on your face, this matter must have gone very smoothly."

Jiang Tao nodded and said.

"That Li Baimei is really something. Not only did he successfully win Yang Kaizhi's favor, but he also probably spent the longest time in prison so far. Later, Yang Kaizhi even took him out for a stroll."

"Judging from his weak appearance, he must really like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tao raised his hand and took out the wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect.

Almost everyone present immediately focused their attention on the wooden plaque, and their expressions changed accordingly.

Someone remarked with emotion.

"It seems this Land of Contemplation is still useful."

"It's a pity we didn't discover Yang Kaizhi's unique qualities before, otherwise we could have repeatedly used Li Baimei."

Someone nearby overheard this and couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure enough, once you get a benefit, you'll want it again. Well, at least we found this place on our last try."

Others spoke up:

"With this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect in hand, although we had previously incurred the wrath of the Tai Clan, they will surely be wary of us if they find out about this matter. The trouble with the Tai Clan can be temporarily put aside."

Some people had a sharp edge in their eyes, looking outwards.

"With the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, we don't need to worry about many troubles. We can even compete more effectively for some resources and opportunities."

In an instant, everyone reacted in different ways.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out and said.

"Speaking of which, we really should thank that little guy."

Upon hearing this voice, the discussion among the crowd paused slightly. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, they saw that Jiang Tong had appeared on the field at some point.

"What the ancestor said is true."

Someone then echoed Jiang Tong's words, saying:

"If this little guy hadn't been causing all that trouble on that Emperor Road, he really wouldn't have discovered that Li Baimei had something about him that suited Yang Kaizhi's taste."

Many people present nodded in agreement with this statement.

They hadn't noticed anything special about Li Baimei before.

The Emperor Road wasn't like this before; it wouldn't be so idle as to deliberately turn the people in these Land of Contemplation into near-mortals and then stimulate them with electric current in the water.

"So, what do you mean, Ancestor?"

At this moment, someone spoke up, and everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Tong again.

Jiang Tong smiled and said.

"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. We have already benefited, so naturally we need to give something back."

As he spoke, Jiang Tong his hand lightly, and the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect that Jiang Tao was holding appeared in his hand the next moment.

Upon seeing this, everyone's gazes sharpened slightly.

Some people even asked the question immediately.

"Ancestor, you're not going to give this little wooden plaque to that little guy, are you?"

Many people remained silent, but they all seemed to want to say something but held back.

What is the value of this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect?

Although that little guy might really be someone who has been reincarnated and cultivated again, so far he hasn't shown enough value.

Although there is the story of Li Baimei, it feels more like a coincidence overall.

Honestly, it's absolutely not worth it to give this little guy the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect right now.

Jiang Tong waved his hand dismissively, then said...

"When doing things, you have to show some attitude. How can things be accomplished without attitude? Besides, even if I give it away, as long as the world knows that my Jiang Clan obtained the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, even if I present a fake one, how could they possibly believe it's fake?"

The person who had just spoken opened his mouth, looked at Jiang Tong, and for a moment didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and say...

"Ancestor, your thinking is far too audacious."

Then, another voice offered advice.

"Ancestor, while what you said makes sense, if a real crisis arises, this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect will be our Jiang Clan's only support. If we end up with just a fake one, that would be troublesome again."

Jiang Tong smiled and said.

"If one only thinks about relying on external things and external forces, it will definitely hinder one's ambition. Without ambition, troubles will only increase."

Upon hearing this, several people in the crowd exchanged glances, their eyes filled with growing suspicion.

Is this really their ancestor? According to records, Ancestor Jiang Tong was very fond of clinging to powerful figures, because it's good to have a big tree to lean on.

At this moment, Jiang Tong waved his hand and said.

"Alright, alright, stop with the complicated meaning."

"The threat from the Tai Clan has temporarily subsided. Soon, it will be time to deal with the matter of the World in the Painting. Now that we've established this connection with the Huaxia Sect, it's time to go there and reap the rewards."

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but glance at the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect that Jiang Tong holding in his hand, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Ancestor, you wouldn't be planning to give him the spot to enter the World in the Painting as well, would you?"

Upon hearing this, many people present were visibly unsettled. Although it wasn't the best way to put it, why did they feel that this patriarch was somewhat biased towards outsiders?

As expected, the next moment Jiang Tong's expression changed, and he said.

"You've reminded me. When I go give him the plaque later, I'll also ask him if he has any thoughts or interest in this World in the Painting. If he intends to participate, giving him a spot wouldn't be a problem. But this is still undecided. I'll go there first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tong's figure disappeared from the scene, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long silence, everyone looked at each other, a similar thought emerging in the minds of many, but no one dared to voice it.

Is this ancestor truly their ancestor, their biological ancestor?

The Five Symbols Sect, located on Hidden Origin Peak.

Jiang Tong's figure appeared on Hidden Origin Peak.

Lu Changzhi sensed something and his figure blurred as he appeared in front of Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong looked Lu Changzhi up and down, then nodded and said.

"Not bad, not slow at all. Considering the time, it's about right."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he asked.

"What the ancestor said is quite right. Is there something waiting for me?"

Jiang Tong nodded and said.

"You can think of the World in the Painting as a secret realm."

"It contains a cultivation environment and resources that even powerful clans like the Jiang Clan and the Tai Clan cannot ignore."

"If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
