"Alas!"
Jiang Qiankun's father didn't reply to the five elders' questions. He just sighed softly.
"It still doesn't work?" The five elders frowned slightly. "With Third Brother's Demon Slaying Qi and pure bloodline power, how could Kun 'er not be cured?"
The third brother mentioned by the five elders was Jiang Qiankun's grandfather, the third elder of the Demon Slayer Clan.
After becoming a clan elder, unless they were direct blood relatives, they would address each other as brothers.
"No!" Jiang Qiankun's father shook his head. "After all, Kun 'er has only cultivated over 500 Great Dao Patterns. He is still some distance away from the realm where he can use the Demon Slash. The aftereffects are too great!"
In fact, whether it was Jiang Qiankun's father, the five elders, or the other upper echelons of the Jiang Family, they were all very shocked when they found out that Jiang Qiankun had suffered such serious injuries because of the backlash from using the Demon Slaying Slash.
They weren't shocked because Jiang Qiankun had suffered such a huge aftereffect from forcefully using the Demon Slaying Slash. Instead, they were shocked that Jiang Qiankun was still alive.
Although Jiang Qiankun's talent and bloodline were outstanding, the problem was that the Jiang family's Demon Slaying Slash was one of the three profound meanings of the Demon Slaying Treasured Book.
Not only was it powerful, but more importantly, each of the three Profound Meanings was more domineering than the previous one.
Even if he had the ability to use the Demon Slash, he would still suffer some backlash.
However, if one's cultivation level was high enough, the backlash wouldn't be too harmful.
But Jiang Qiankun didn't have that kind of realm.
In the Jiang Clan, no matter how outstanding a genius with a powerful bloodline was, he would only be able to execute the Demon Slaying Slash without suffering a severe backlash after attaining 700 Great Dao Inscriptions.
However, Jiang Qiankun was only at the realm of 520 Great Dao Inscriptions. There was still a long way to go before he could reach 700.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how monstrous Jiang Qiankun was, his realm was still far from enough for him to use the Demon Slaying Slash.
If he used it forcefully, he would die for sure.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
Even with God's Recovery, Jiang Qiankun couldn't withstand the aftereffects of forcefully using Demon Slaying Slash.
After instantly slashing out with the Demon Slaying Slash, Jiang Qiankun did not immediately die from the backlash, but that was almost it.
If it wasn't for Tantai Kuangyun's appearance, he would have already died.
Of course, if that was the case, there wouldn't be so many problems later on.
Therefore, when they learned that Jiang Qiankun did not lose his life after using the Demon Slaying Slash, the upper echelons of the Jiang family were both furious and surprised.
However, it was also because of this that the upper echelons of the Jiang Family believed that Jiang Qiankun's bloodline and talent were absolutely incomparably powerful.
Of course, he would try his best to heal Jiang Qiankun.
Jiang Qiankun's father's words made the faces of the five elders turn even uglier.
Although the five elders were not directly related to the three elders, they had received a lot of care from Jiang Qiankun's grandfather and the three elders before they became elders.
In addition, the five elders had never married or had children, which made them pay close attention to Jiang Qiankun.
Therefore, after discovering Jiang Qiankun's serious injuries, the five elders were furious.
At this moment, a guard suddenly came in to report.
"Fifth Elder, the little princesses of the two palaces and three sects are here!"
That girl is here again?
The five elders raised their eyebrows, and their faces immediately became unhappy.
Why did everyone know Jiang Qiankun's feelings for Bai Nishang? Almost everyone who knew them already knew his feelings for her.
However, the five elders did not like Bai Nishang's words very much.
Because of her birth, although she had the Nine-Colored Divine Body and was the adopted daughter of the White Emperor, the five elders always felt that Bai Nishang's bloodline was very ordinary. It could even be said to be mediocre.
How could such a woman be worthy of Jiang Qiankun?
There was another reason why the five elders disliked Bai Nishang so much. That was, a woman from the Demon Slaying Clan was the most suitable match for Jiang Qiankun.
That woman was the descendant of the Demon Slaying Clan's Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Hengtian. She had even awakened a bloodline that was more outstanding than Jiang Qiankun's.
If Jiang Qiankun could marry her, then the children they gave birth to would definitely be more outstanding.
In the Demon Slaying Clan, the elders already had a very high status. However, compared to the elders, the Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Hengtian, was an even higher existence.
It could be said that Jiang Hengtian, the Heavenly Emperor, had a higher status than the elders in the Demon Slaying Clan.
In fact, Jiang Hengtian was the direct descendant of the Demon Slaying Clan.
However, Jiang Qiankun's thoughts were all on Bai Nishang. This made the five elders unable to stand it anymore.
Most importantly, it seemed that Jiang Qiankun's heavy injuries this time had something to do with Bai Nishang. This made the five elders even more unhappy.
"Let her go back. Tell her that I'm treating Kun 'er's injuries and it's not convenient for me to see outsiders!"
The five elders waved their hands and said directly to the guard.
Because of Bai Nishang's identity, they couldn't just chase her away. After all, she was the adopted daughter of the White Emperor and the little princess of the two palaces and three sects. The Demon Slaying Clan couldn't be rude.
However, in the next moment, the guard said with a troubled expression, "Fifth elder, I'm afraid that's not good. The little princess of the two palaces and three sects came with Princess Mengfei!"
"Mengfei?"
The five elders' faces twitched slightly. Only then did they remember that Bai Nishang had a very good relationship with Mengfei.
Jiang Mengfei was the woman that the five elders had chosen. She was the one who could marry Jiang Qiankun.
Although she was young, she was born into a noble family. She was the direct descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Hengtian. She had even awakened the bloodline of the Demon Slaying Clan, which was only higher than Jiang Qiankun's.
Because of her birth, she was the princess of the Demon Slaying Clan, the only princess.
It was even to the extent that from a certain point of view, his status and identity were comparable to the elders of the Demon Slayer Clan. Moreover, the five elders were fond of him.
When they heard that Bai Nishang had come with their little princess, the five elders snorted angrily. They waved their sleeves and left without saying a word.
At the same time, the five elders were angry. Why did their little princess have such a good relationship with Bai Nishang?
When the guard saw the five elders leave, he was suddenly in a difficult position.
Because the five elders hadn't said anything, Bai Nishang couldn't come over!
When Jiang Qiankun's father saw this, he said to the guard, "Okay, tell Princess Mengfei that Kun 'er's treatment is over. She can come over!"
"Yes!"
The guard acknowledged the order and left.
Jiang Qiankun's father didn't dislike Bai Nishang. On the contrary, he wanted his son to marry her. Moreover, he and Jiang Qiankun's mother believed that as long as their son liked her, any woman could become their daughter-in-law, no matter what her background was.
However, unlike them, the higher-ups of the Jiang Family hoped that Jiang Qiankun could marry Jiang Mengfei.
Unfortunately, they couldn't force Jiang Mengfei to marry Jiang Mengfei.
After all, neither Jiang Qiankun nor Jiang Mengfei wanted to be together. In particular, Jiang Qiankun treated Jiang Mengfei as his younger sister.
If they forced Jiang Mengfei and Jiang Mengfei to marry Jiang Mengfei, they would probably resist.
Jiang Qiankun would be fine, but Jiang Mengfei's identity was too special. Even the five elders couldn't force her to marry Jiang Mengfei.
However, the higher-ups of the Jiang Family weren't very anxious about this situation.
After all, Jiang Mengfei was only 15 or 16 years old. She was still very young. There was no need to rush this kind of thing.
But now, the situation seemed to be a little different.
After the five elders left, Bai Nishang and a little girl appeared in front of Jiang Qiankun. The three of them chatted happily.
At this time, the five elders had already arrived at a secret room.
"Is that you, Fifth Elder?"
As soon as the five elders arrived, an old man's voice came from the secret room.
This old man was Jiang Qiankun's grandfather, the third elder of the Demon Slayer Clan.
"Third Elder Brother, it's me!"
The fifth elder said, but he didn't go in. He knew that the third elder was in seclusion in this secret room and couldn't be disturbed. The most he could do was to talk to him at the door.
"How's Kun 'er's injury?" The third elder asked.
"He's recovered a lot, but …"
The fifth elder hesitated for a moment and finally said, "But I'm afraid that even if he recovers, Kun 'er's bloodline and talent will be weakened by a lot!"
The secret room fell silent. Obviously, it wasn't easy to accept this result.
After a moment of silence, the third elder sighed in the secret room.
"Sigh, forget it! Perhaps this is Kun 'er's fate! "
Seeing this, the fifth elder hurriedly said, "Third Elder Brother, there's no need to rush to a conclusion!"
"Fifth Elder, you don't have to comfort me. You've all cultivated the Demon Slayer Slash, so you know how domineering it is. In fact, it's already a great blessing that Kun 'er can survive this time!"
"Now, I don't have much hope. I can only hope that Kun 'er can recover a little! And now that I think about it, if Kun 'er and Bai Nishang are together, he can use Bai Nishang's Nine-Colored Divine Body to recover a lot of the injuries from the backlash! "
The third elder's voice came from the secret room.
However, his words caused the five elders to frown slightly.
There was another reason why the five elders didn't like Bai Nishang. They had some conflicts with the White Emperor, so they naturally didn't want Jiang Qiankun and Bai Nishang to be together.
After pondering for a moment, the fifth elder suddenly said, "Third Elder Brother, there are other ways. Don't forget about our Demon Slayer Clan's Demon Slayer Cave!"
"What? You want Kun 'er to enter the Demon Slayer Cave? "
The third elder in the secret room seemed to have heard something that made him excited. His tone instantly became agitated.
"No, the Demon Slayer Cave is too dangerous. With Kun 'er's current condition, entering the Demon Slayer Cave is no different from courting death!"
"Third Elder Brother, don't worry. I'm not asking Kun 'er to enter the Demon Slayer Cave."
Seeing that the third elder seemed to have misunderstood him, the fifth elder hurriedly said, "What I mean is to borrow the power of the Demon Slayer Cave to heal Kun 'er!"
"That won't do either!" The third elder immediately rejected the idea. "Even if that's the case, Kun 'er will only be safe if a Supreme Sovereign goes in with him. However, Fifth Elder Brother, don't forget that a Supreme Sovereign will suffer from the Demon Slayer Cave's backlash. That's no small matter! "
"Third Elder Brother, don't worry. This time, I'll go in with Kun 'er. I'll protect him well!" said the fifth elder.
"You'll accompany Kun 'er into the Demon Slayer Cave?" The third elder seemed to be surprised. "If that's the case, you'll most likely suffer from the Demon Slayer Cave's backlash and harm your cultivation foundation!"
"It's fine!"
The fifth elder waved his hand and said confidently, "Third Elder Brother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything more than heal Kun 'er's injuries. The backlash from the Demon Slayer Cave won't be too great. I can endure it."
"Then it's settled. I'll go make preparations now!"
After saying that, the five elders left directly.
