“Husband, should we chase and get rid of them?”
To be honest, Jiang Chengxuan had also thought of this just now.
However, he decided not to in the end.
If they were to publicly kill Cao Xiuyang and the others, it would truly bring a disaster to the Jiang family.
This was no different from declaring war on the Cao Family.
Once a war broke out, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Cao family would definitely get involved.
With the Jiang family’s current foundation, fighting a war with a Nascent Soul family was seeking death.
On the other hand.
Even though after letting Cao Xiuyang and the others go back, the Cao family would still treat the Jiang family as targets to eliminate.
However, after knowing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s real strength, they wouldn’t act rashly.
At the very least, before they really figured out their background, the Cao family would not make a big move.
That was indeed the case.
When Cao Xiuyang, Cao Changlie and Cao Changqing returned to the Cao family and told the other members what had happened to them, the Cao family immediately took this matter seriously.
They clearly did not expect that a Golden Core cultivator with such powerful strength had appeared in the Cangnan Region without them knowing it.
The last person who had such strength at the late-stage Golden Core was Xuan Yang Boy hundreds of years ago.
Of course.
Xuan Yang Boy had already become the famous Perfected Lord Xuan Yang.
It had been a long time since anyone addressed him as Xuan Yang Boy.
At that time, he was almost as invincible as Jiang Chengxuan in their own realm.
Even against a False Nascent Soul, he was able to defeat or even severely injure him.
Now that someone similar to Xuan Yang Boy had appeared, many old members of the Cao family immediately recalled many bad memories.
Cao Xiuchun, who was also at the False Nascent Soul realm, said coldly,
“Everyone, I believe many of you know about Perfected Lord Xuan Yang back then, right?
Do you want to see another Perfected Lord Xuan Yang appear?”
At this point, Cao Xiuchun’s tone turned dark and carried a hint of killing intent.
“As far as I know, Jiang Chengxuan’s Dao companion, Shen Ruyan, is not an ordinary person either. She might just be as powerful as Jiang Chengxuan.
In that case, she would be the third Perfected Lord Xuan Yang.
If we give them time to grow and accumulate strength, by the time they are ready, do you think we can still restrain them?
You don’t want to sit back and watch a second Hidden Sword Palace rise, do you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of many people present changed.
Obviously, they had all thought of the consequences of that situation.
Some people, such as Cao Xiuyang, Cao Changlie, Cao Changqing, and Cao Xuanguang, revealed unconcealed killing intent in their eyes.
Cao Xiuyang said, “Brother Xiuchun is right. Back then, our Cao family took Xuan Yang boy too lightly and allowed him to grow.
Later, not only did he kill many of our clansmen, but he also firmly suppressed my Cao family.
If we let the Jiang couple grow up, it’s hard to say if the past will repeat itself.”
His words received the approval of many people present.
They felt that while the Jiang couple was still Golden Core, they should try their best to nip it in the bud.
At this moment, no one cared if Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were really the murderers.
Because no matter if they were or not, it would not affect their Cao family’s determination to eliminate them.
However, at this moment, the current head of the Cao family, Cao Changfeng, suddenly said,
“Everyone, I admit that what you just said makes sense.
But have you ever thought that there might be people behind the Jiang couple?”
These words immediately calmed some people who were excited.
That’s right.
How could people like the Jiang couple not have a backer?
It was also at this moment that the Cao family suddenly realized that they didn’t seem to know enough about the Jiang couple and the Jiang family.
At this moment, the family head, Cao Changfeng, continued,
“It’s not necessarily that I disapprove of your idea.
However, I feel that before that, we should investigate their background.
Especially since our ancestors are currently in seclusion.
If we disturb them rashly, I’m afraid we will anger them.”
In order to deal with the Jiang family in a foolproof way, they would have to ask their ancestors for help.
At this moment, their ancestors were in seclusion. Disturbing them rashly was not a good idea.
Most importantly, before asking for help, they had to have enough reason and a good understanding of their enemy.
Otherwise, if their ancestors asked them about the situation and they couldn’t give a ready answer, they would be punished.
Seeing that there was no better way, they decided to conduct a detailed investigation on the Jiang family first.
Just as the Cao family was discussing Jiang Chengxuan and his wife,
Cangnan Region, Red Gorge.
This was the place where the Zheng and Shu nations intersected. Because there was a red silk-like poisonous fog all year round, it was also called the Red Poison Gorge.
If an ordinary cultivator entered this place without a protective treasure, they would die in less than half an hour.
At this moment, in such a place, there were several cultivators wearing black cloaks and surrounded by dense demonic Qj. They were holding discs made of bones and continuously headed into the depths of the Red Gorge.
The red poisonous fog that was like willow catkins landed on their bodies and was absorbed by the white bone discs in their hands.
If one looked carefully, there seemed to be strands of blood flowing inside the white bone discs, making one shudder.
“I say, Seven Star, how much longer will it take for us to get there?
We’ve already followed you to several places.
After this, don’t tell me we have to continue to the next place.”
At this moment, in the crowd of people in black cloaks, a young man with a demonic face suddenly looked up at an old man with a green light in his eyes. His entire body emitted a sinister and evil aura.
If a cultivator from the Starlight Sect was here, or if Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were here, they would recognize him at a glance.
The old man who exuded a strange and evil aura was the former Golden Core Supreme Elder of the Starlight Sect.
Seven Star.
When he heard the demonic youth’s words, a cold smile appeared on his old face.
He turned around and nodded slightly at the demonic youth. Then, he said in a hoarse and low voice,
“Phantom Demon, don’t be anxious. We are not far from our destination.
When we reach the deepest part of this place, you will not be disappointed..”
