"I’m going to flush them out!"
Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "Elder Lu and his entire sect are under the surveillance of the Punishnt Hall. He Tianwei is currently occupying Pure Land Rock in place of Elder Lu. If Elder Lu gets punished again, only Sun Zheqi from his sect remains. If Sun Zheqi knows the danger and continues to proceed, he must be relying on sothing."
"And I’ve already told him about our side’s camp. If he’s relying on sothing, it must be a Divine Infant Realm Peak student or even a Virtual Refinent Realm instructor. However, he left directly, indicating he lacks support at that power level."
"This ans that the traitor within the academy is only among Elder Lu’s people. Others, whether they know about Elder Lu’s affairs or not, at least haven’t aligned with them yet!"
"Uh..."
Yun Tao and the other were stunned for a mont, looking at Jiang Chen in amazent.
This guy, how could he think of so many things from such a small matter? How is this guy’s brain wired?
Compared to him, they seed like idiots!
Yun Tao and the other exchanged glances, a trace of sha appearing in their eyes.
Standing nearby, Ouyang Ruoxue glanced at Jiang Chen, a slight curve on her lips and a flash of brilliance in her eyes.
"Let’s not worry about him, but he made a good point; we should indeed find soone familiar with the Shangluo Family to go with us."
Jiang Chen said softly.
"We have soone, already chosen, it’s Zhang Qian who was guarding the valley with Wu Hen when you arrived. His hotown is Hui City, where the Shangluo Family is located, he’s very familiar with the place."
Yun Tao nodded lightly.
"Zhang Qian? The senior in the Mid Divine Infant Realm?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Shouldn’t we also find a Virtual Refinent Realm instructor to go with us? The strongest in the Shangluo Family seems to be the Late Virtual Refinent Realm Elder Luo Master, right?"
"It’s ok, junior brother, you’re being too sensitive."
Yun Tao waved his hand with a light laugh and said, "Our missions are recorded, the Shangluo Family wouldn’t dare to act against us."
"This..."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a mont but did not persist.
...
Changlin Academy is a top force in the Mingqian Realm. Although it’s an academic power, it also has so affiliated families.
These affiliated families rely on the na of Changlin Academy to ensure they are not violated, essentially small power families.
In the Canglan Continent, any family power without a Unity Realm Stage master would seek to rely on a major power, otherwise, they might be wiped out at any ti.
The whole Canglan Continent has four types of power structures. The first belongs to the Canglan Great Emperor’s thirty-two Domain Lord’s Mansions and the subordinate offices like Prefecture Lord Mansion and Town Lord Mansion. The second is sect powers, the third is academic powers, and the fourth is family powers.
The strongest is naturally the force directly under the Canglan Great Emperor, while sect powers rival academic powers. Among the four major powers of the continent, two are sect powers, and the weakest belongs to family powers.
Although the Canglan Great Emperor unified the continent and established the thirty-two major domains and conferred the position of Domain Lord, the Domain Lords also established various Prefecture Lords, etc., a series of authorities. However, the cultivation world is full of sects, and it’s impossible to unify the managent of all forces.
In the end, the Canglan Great Emperor only issued a decree that cultivators should not recklessly kill secular people, then disappeared.
Over the years, the Canglan Great Emperor has rarely appeared, with orders from the Great Emperor often coming from Di Yuan City. It’s been a long ti since anyone has seen the Canglan Great Emperor in person!
Issues within the cultivation world are not often managed by the Domain Lord’s Mansion notified by the Canglan Great Emperor. At most, they act as diators, never involving themselves deeply in the conflicts among cultivation world powers, maintaining a detached stance.
The subordinate offices, etc., have essentially beco individual cultivation forces. As long as there are no major events in these offices and offerings are submitted on ti, the Domain Lord’s Mansion will not intervene, as the entire Canglan Continent is too vast. If every matter required the Domain Lord’s Mansions’ attention, the mighty Domain Lords would be overwheld!
This situation has fostered complicated and intertwined relationships. Families like the Shangluo are affiliated with Changlin Academy, apart from regularly contributing offerings and receiving Changlin Academy students when they arrive in Hui City, there isn’t much more.
Within the family powers of the Canglan Continent, there’s no top family representing all family powers and can only affiliate under other pinnacle powers.
Not all forces choose this path. Those that do are mid-sized family powers without Unity Realm Stage masters that are significant enough to draw top powers’ attention. Small families might beco branches or try to develop on shaky grounds.
And those families with a Unity Realm Stage master might develop independently with pride, though so still choose to affiliate with other forces. Each family makes its own choices!
At the entrance of Changlin Academy valley.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five figures darted out from the valley.
"Zhang Qian, we’re counting on you for this journey!"
Jian Wuheng said with a light smile, looking at Zhang Qian.
"Don’t worry, everyone. I am very familiar with Hui City. If there’s any way I can be of help, just let know!"
Zhang Qian spoke modestly.
He was rely an average-student without a ntor or background. His family was just a small one in Hui City, and if not for his enrollnt in Changlin Academy, they might have sought a patron to avoid exploitation!
The group’s destination this ti was Hui City in Changyun Prefecture, under the rule of the Mingqian Realm.
Changyun Prefecture is located on the eastern side of the Mingqian Realm, a dium-sized prefecture in the realm. They first needed to reach Mingyuan City to take the Teleportation Array to Changyun Prefecture.
"Let’s go, everyone be cautious on the road. Although few would dare to harm Changlin Academy students in the Mingqian Realm, we must stay vigilant."
Jian Wuheng spoke softly.
While with Zhang Qian, Yun Tao returned to his cold deanor, so Jian Wuheng beca the leader of this journey.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The five leaped into the air, heading towards Mingyuan City.
...
In the Changlin Academy elders’ quarters, within a lavishly decorated pavilion, an amputee man coldly watched a young man in front of him.
"Sun Zheqi, what do you an by this? Are you deliberately bringing up Jiang Chen to humiliate ?"
Bu Fuqi spoke coldly, eyes glinting with a sinister gaze.
"Elder Bu, I’m not entirely sure what happened two months ago, but I learned that after you left, Elder Sang and his wife went to Southern Maniac Mountain, and now you despise Jiang Chen. I’m afraid your lost arm is related to him, isn’t it?"
Sun Zheqi said with a light laugh.
