What do you think?
Although Dai Yu Island was the Jiang Clan's territory, the old man was very humble, as if he was really afraid of Chen Xi.
Seeing that the old man's attitude was so proper, Chen Xi stopped and began to think after listening to his words.
At that moment …
Qin Ruoying suddenly called out to him.
"Xi."
It was just a simple word, but Chen Xi immediately understood what she meant.
Yingying was advising him to be lenient.
After all, their family was not the Dragon of Kunshan, nor were they wolves, tigers, or leopards. Naturally, they would not let the Jiang Clan go bankrupt because of this.
It was about time.
Of course, he had to listen to his wife. However, Chen Xi already had a plan in mind, so he pretended to be hesitant.
Chen Xi did not say anything, so naturally, no one dared to say anything either.
The dilapidated square was deathly silent.
Jiang Yuankui looked at Chen Xi nervously, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
How could there be such a terrifying person in this world?
Not only Xu Feng, but even Second Granduncle could not take a single blow from him.
Could it be …
That this person came from the sky?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuankui could not help but look up at the cloud vortex in the sky.
The golden light was still dazzling.
However, he felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
Could it be …
The prophecy left by the Ancestor really came true one day?
As people often say:
Sometimes, it is not good to know too much. Being muddle-headed is the true meaning of life.
Jiang Yuankui was clearly such an example.
He looked at Chen Xi's back, but his mind was filled with distracting thoughts.
After an unknown period of time …
Chen Xi's voice brought Jiang Yuankui back to reality.
"Alright, then I will let him live. I hope you don't disappoint me."
After saying this, Chen Xi suddenly waved his sleeve, and an invisible force swept up Jiang Zhengqing, then threw him directly to Jiang Yuankui.
After Jiang Yuankui hurriedly caught Jiang Zhengqing, the old man's voice sounded again.
"That's great. Please move to Heron Island, Mr. Chen …"
"Yuan Kui, lead the way for Mister."
The so-called Egret Island was actually the smallest of the seventeen islands. At the same time, it was also the Jiang Clan's forbidden area. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
Under Jiang Yuankui's guidance, Chen Xi's family of three took a small boat to Heron Island.
Apart from Jiang Yuankui, there was also the cold faced woman from before.
After Jiang Yuankui's introduction, Chen Xi found out that this woman was actually the Jiang Clan's Siming Xuan Nu, Jiang Yuanqing.
Since Jiang Yuan Qing was of the same generation as Jiang Yuan Kui, his age would naturally not be that young.
Xuan Nu of the Ten Thousand Holy Valley would automatically step down from her position at the age of thirty. Jiang Yuanqing, a middle-aged Xuan Nu woman, was able to sit firmly in the position of Xuan Nu's High Priestess.
Just this point alone was enough to show that the Jiang Clan was indeed in possession of some secrets that were unknown to others.
…
The boat quickly approached Heron Island.
As soon as they got off the boat, the little fellow's attention was immediately attracted by a few red-crowned cranes.
"Papa, what's this?! I think I've seen them before … "
As she spoke, the little fellow ran over eagerly.
However, because these red-crowned cranes were too tall, she did not dare to get close. She could only stand timidly at the side, looking extremely cute.
"These are red-crowned cranes. You can also call them red-crowned cranes. There are only about a thousand of them in the world. They're even rarer than pandas."
"Red-crowned cranes?! I know! I've read about them in books! "
Perhaps it was because of the abundance of spirit energy on Dai Yu Island, these red-crowned cranes were obviously somewhat human. Seeing the little fellow approaching, not only did they not leave, but they even took the initiative to stretch their necks over.
Seeing this, the little fellow could not help but reach out to touch their feathers. She was overjoyed.
This child was almost bored to death on the yacht. Now that she finally found a few red-crowned cranes to play with, Chen Xi naturally had to let her have fun.
Thus, Chen Xi asked for the little fellow's opinion. After confirming that the little fellow wanted to play here for a while, he handed the longsword in his hand to Qin Ruoying. He then continued to follow Jiang Yuankui to the depths of Heron Island.
As a forbidden area of the clan, Heron Island was like a paradise on earth.
The paths in the forest crisscrossed, and it was truly charming.
Birds chirped, and colorful butterflies danced.
Under the illumination of the great formation's golden light, the island was even more like a celestial scene with rosy clouds and lingering smoke.
The center of Heron Island was not a mountain peak, but a clear lake.
There was a wooden building in the center of the lake. It looked like a pavilion, but it was not a pavilion. Therefore, it looked a little like the pavilion in the middle of the lake where Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian met in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".
After arriving at the bridge, Jiang Yuankui bowed to Chen Xi. He then pointed at the building in the center of the lake and said very respectfully, "The Jiang family's illustrious ancestor has been waiting for you here for a long time. It's not appropriate for me to go near, so please go ahead on your own."
Chen Xi did not stand on ceremony when he heard that. He slowly walked toward the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The pavilion in the middle of the lake only had a curtain for blocking.
Chen Xi waited outside the pavilion for a while. Seeing that there seemed to be no movement in the pavilion, he directly opened the curtain and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that came into view was a table.
Chen Xi raised his head to take a look. His attention was attracted by an item placed on the table.
There was a Soul Crystal on the table!
Furthermore, this soul crystal was even larger than Chen Xi's soul crystal ….
"A little interesting."
Chen Xi smiled and shook his head. Then, he sat down on the armchair.
After taking a seat, he looked at the Soul Crystals on the table and slowly said, "I really didn't think that someone would be able to form a Nascent Soul under such harsh conditions. That's quite impressive …"
"Sir, you flatter me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's voice suddenly rang out in the room.
And the source of the voice …
It was none other than the soul crystal on the counter!
Chen Xi did not find this strange at all. Instead, he looked at the portrait on the table with interest. Then, he smiled and asked, "Is that you?"
"That's me."
"Mm, you were quite handsome when you were young."
"Haha."
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
The room suddenly quieted down. It was so quiet that the sound of the wind outside could be heard.
It seemed that no one wanted to speak again.
In fact, since the first time Chen Xi saw this Soul Crystal, he understood why the old man always gave in to him.
Diviners were only pseudo-cores. Only those who were above Diviners could be called Golden Cores.
So far, among all the people Chen Xi had met, except for Bai Hong's group who came down from the Heavenly Gate, this old man who hid Yuanying in the Soul Crystal in front of him had the highest cultivation.
When the forest was big, there would naturally be all kinds of birds.
So, the only thing that surprised Chen Xi was that …
This old man did not even have a body, but he still had to rely on the Soul Crystal to survive.
How many years had he lived?
Five hundred years?
Or a thousand years?
In any case, he had lived longer than Chen Xi …
