Chapter 158: Betrayed by the Jiang clan
In this way, the goals of Elder Jiang Shuo and others were also achieved.
I was originally a nameless person and had no foundation in the main city. Even though I caused some sensation on the Acropolis Void Tower, there were still many people who didn't know me in the main city.
Whether it is Jiang Lan or Jiang Fengyuan, they are all long-known geniuses in the main city. Since they are preparing to compete with them for the Kirin Son and without relative prestige, they will inevitably be looked down upon.
Nowadays, although many people have not seen the result of the battle just now, Jiang Qihu's words are already very telling.
He fought against the initial level of the Nascent Soul with the Killing Realm and won. Who else dares to say that I am not qualified to be a candidate for the Qilin Son?
As we left here, many people looked at me with awe. There were people saluting from time to time on the roadside. Jiang Jiuliang beside us was always in an excited state.
"Sir, did you really defeat that old guy Jiang Qihu?"
"The kind of magic you taught me is really overbearing!"
"Sir, do you think when will I be able to take you as my teacher?"
"gentlemen……"
I was a little helpless and glared at him. Although Jiang Jiuliang didn't dare to say anything, the excitement in his eyes still did not dissipate, as if he fantasized about how he could be like me in the future.
When we returned to the dilapidated mansion, we obviously had received the news here in advance. Everyone walked out under the leadership of the old guy Jiang Liyan and paid a visit.
I sideways and said indifferently: "I'm not for you, but for the endless inheritance of this lineage, and for the humiliation that this lineage has suffered. I still say the same thing, I won't compete for anything from this lineage. After I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I won't live here. You can save some other thoughts!"
Jiang Jiuliang looked at Jiang Liyan and other old guys with contempt, and hummed, "With wise men's ability, you can be a natural lineage in the main city. Some of you are really short-sighted and missed the opportunity!"
Some young people in this tribe were anxious and looked at Jiang Liyan and other old guys. The old guys looked ashamed and wanted to say something, but in the end they still didn't say it.
Jiang Liyan sighed deeply and said to me with a wry smile: "What I said before, please don't mind Young Master Jiang He. I am stupid and I am not comfortable being the head of this family lineage. Please..."
"I have other things, and it is impossible for me to stay here for a long time. I have already made it clear before. I don't need to mention this matter anymore!"
I directly interrupted Jiang Liyan and said in a deep voice: "I want to ask some things, and I will leave after asking. Don't talk too much about other things!"
To be honest, I am not a generous person. If I had returned to this lineage before, this lineage was enthusiastic about me, I might not be able to help this lineage. But the pedantic and cowardice of Jiang Liyan and some old guys really disappointed me.
Of course, the most important thing is that I cannot really take charge of this lineage. I will eventually return to the secular world and cannot stay here for too long.
If I hadn't wanted to resolve some of the doubts in my heart, I wouldn't have returned here at all when I came out of Jiang Qihu.
After hearing what I said, Jiang Liyan's face showed a bitterness even more intense, but a hint of relaxation flashed deep in his eyes, as if he was relieved. The old man still attaches great importance to the position of the head of the family.
Many tribe members of this lineage showed disappointment and frustration, especially those young people. The eyes of Jiang Liyan and other old guys were obviously filled with some dissatisfaction and anger, but they could do nothing about it.
After entering the mansion, under the leadership of Jiang Liyan, he came to the place where the spiritual positions of many ancestors in this lineage were placed.
There are sacrifice temples on the acropolis and there are also those on the main city. However, the sacrifice temples on the main city cannot be entered and exit at will. Only on some memorial days will many tribes be allowed to worship. Therefore, many branches in the main city worship the ancestors' spiritual positions in their own homes.
After I came here, I worshiped the ancestor spirit positions of this lineage. These spirit positions had no spirituality at all, far from being as good as the Acropolis Temple. There was no response during my worship, which made me feel a little disappointed.
"Where is the place where many ancestors of this lineage buried their bones?" I asked.
Jiang Liyan responded quickly: "In the main city, whether it is branch or main vein, the place where the bones are buried is in the secret realm. Even if he dies, he can use his own bloodline to nourish the secret realm. There is the foundation of our Jiang clan..."
The battle for Qilinzi is in the secret realm of Jiang's family. Is it the same place as the burial place of the Jiang ancestors?
I did not delve into this issue and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what happened to this lineage back then? Why was it suppressed by some people in the main city?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyan showed a complicated look on his face. He hesitated for a moment and asked me to go to a place with him.
Not long after, I came to an old house in this mansion. There was a small magic circle here to protect it. After coming here with Jiang Liyan, I found that the attic of this house was filled with a large number of bamboo slips, some of which were recorded with unknown animal skins.
Jiang Liyan brought out a big box from the corner and said to me with a complicated expression: "Young Master Jiang He, you should be the junior of that person. When you said that you were the descendants of our lineage who were wandering outside, I had already guessed it. I don't want you to return to this lineage. Although I have my own selfish intentions, the most important thing is that person... the clan members who betrayed our lineage and the clan members of the Jiang family!"
"It is because of him that for so many years that our lineage is so persistent and suppressed! These are some records about him back then, please take a look!"
After saying that, Jiang Liyan sighed deeply and walked out of here.
I frowned and opened the box, took out the records inside, and looked them out bit by bit.
Jiang Jingran, the ancestor of our secular world, is also the clan member who rebeled from this lineage as Jiang Liyan said, and the clan member who betrayed the Jiang family.
The box records some deeds about Jiang Jingran, and there is nothing amazing. It is an ordinary tribe. Looking at the records above, I was very confused.
In the secular world, the rumors about Jiang Jingran were circulating that he had disappeared in the secular world for several years and died of depression after returning. Therefore, he suspected that he had come to the mountain and sea world in the years when he disappeared.
However, the records above are inconsistent with the rumors in the secular world. The only thing that matches this is that Jiang Jingran disappeared for several years, and that period has become a blank period.
This seems very strange. Can Jiang Jingran still be cloned? One is in the secular world and the other is in the Jiang clan?
I continued to look through and saw that Jiang Jingran was very dissatisfied with the division of tribes among the Jiang clan, but with his own strength, he could not change anything.
What caused this lineage to change its fate was because of one thing.
The opening of the secret realm of the Jiang clan!
The battle between the Kirin Sons of that generation!
In that generation of Qilinzi's battle, many branches of the main city competed with the main genius, with more than 10,000 participants, but only a few of them were most favored, and Jiang Jingran was among them.
However, for some reason, the most outstanding geniuses were all trapped in Jiang Jingran's hands in the secret realm. No one knew what happened. Even the most outstanding geniuses didn't understand how they were trapped in Jiang Jingran's hands.
In this way, although some powerful branches were angry, Jiang Jingran's fame did resound throughout the main city.
Originally, with the help of this matter, the rise of our lineage had already revealed signs, but at this moment, Jiang Jingran rebelled out of this lineage and the main city of Jiang's family. No one knew where he went!
Jiang Jingran's disappearance is a bolt from the blue for our lineage. Some branches took the opportunity to attack, depriving our lineage of some rights in the main city and deliberately suppressing it.
I already had a little understanding in my heart that Jiang Jingran must have obtained the nine-story tower in the secret realm of the Jiang clan, so that he could suppress the most outstanding geniuses of his generation in the secret realm.
But why did he leave at that glorious time?
If he didn't leave, perhaps our lineage would be one of the top ten branches in the main city now.
I looked through all the records in this box and found no answers to this doubt.
There is a little weirdness in this matter, and perhaps only some senior officials in the main city know some clues.
Chapter completed!
