"That guy really didn't let us down. Not only did he not die, but he also reached the Divine King Realm and was able to fight with Cousin Mao Zheng. He should have already reached the Seventh Transformation." Lang Chang praised.
"However, the bad thing is that he didn't listen to our orders with a group of mercenaries and left the garrison area without permission. He has already been listed as a target for our family to kill." Jiang Lanyue said worriedly.
"There are many people who don't listen to orders. Our family has always been virtuous and never domineering. Why do we have to kill him this time?" Lang Chang asked in confusion.
"Firstly, the Night Devil invasion this time is of great importance and caused our family to suffer heavy losses. Our family naturally needs to find someone to take responsibility and blame this tactical mistake on those people. Secondly, it seems that Cousin Mao Zheng is also secretly scheming against him and deliberately exaggerating his crimes." Jiang Lanyue explained with a wry smile.
"How can Cousin Mao Zheng be like this? Do you want me to teach him a lesson? "Lang Chang clenched her fist and said hatefully.
"No need. Although Cousin Mao Zheng has done some things without consideration, he has always done his best for our family. It's better if we don't find trouble with him." Jiang Lanyue waved his hand and said.
"Then what should we do now? You won't just watch that guy get chased down by our family's experts, right?" Lang Chang asked.
"Of course not, so I came here to find you." Jiang Lanyue said.
"Find me?" Lang Chang looked confused.
"In our family, only you know a little more about him. Cousin Mao Zheng might know a little too. Right now, I can only ask for your help. Go find him and tell him to leave Yong An. "Jiang Lanyue nodded and said.
"Let him leave?"
Lang Chang was even more puzzled. She continued to tease, "If she came here specially to see you, you would let her go. Wouldn't that disappoint her?"
Jiang Lanyue hurriedly denied, "You damned girl, you're talking nonsense again. He and I are just friends. When I was trapped in the Ancient Deity's Immortal Cave in the Cultivation World, he accompanied me for a few years. At that time, one of us was a cultivator of the Immortal World, and the other was a mortal. How could we have any relationship?"
"Hehe, if that's the case, why do you still remember those things so clearly? Since you don't have feelings for him, why are you so concerned about his safety? "
Lang Chang asked with a smile and a look of disbelief.
"Do you think I would have fallen for a mortal back then?" Jiang Lanyue asked with a natural expression.
"Uh …"
Lang Chang paused for a moment, then said, "Although the possibility is very small, it's not completely impossible."
***
Situ Maozheng obeyed and came to the side hall. He was then led to a secret room.
The door to the secret room was then closed. Situ Maozheng bowed to a middle-aged cultivator who was meditating cross-legged, "Maozheng greets the Family Head."
The middle-aged cultivator opened his eyes and said, "Nephew Maozheng, there's no need to be so polite. I called you here for two things. Sit down."
Situ Maozheng sat cross-legged in front of the middle-aged cultivator and said, "Family Head, please instruct me."
The middle-aged cultivator said, "The first thing is that a few days ago, the Kou Family of Changle Main City proposed marriage to me. I agreed."
Situ Maozheng's expression changed greatly. He thought of many things in an instant, and his eyes flickered.
The middle-aged cultivator continued, "In order to resist the Night Demons' invasion, my Family Jiang exhausted all of our resources. Our Family Jiang didn't have enough godstones to pay the commission, so we borrowed some from outsiders. Eighty percent of the godstones we borrowed were provided by the Kou Family of Changle Main City."
Situ Maozheng's expression darkened, but he still nodded, "Nephew understands. If Family Head doesn't agree, I'm afraid the Kou Family won't lend us the godstones."
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head, "That's not the case. They lent us the godstones first before coming to propose marriage. They knew that I wouldn't be able to refuse their proposal after receiving their benefits. In fact, our Family Jiang really can't refuse at this time. One of the two neighboring regions has a bad relationship with our Family Jiang, so they won't help us at all. If we lose the help of the Changle Main City, the Night Demons' invasion will be enough to make us lose control of Yong An. Once we lose this position, you know what it means. "
Situ Maozheng nodded heavily. He knew that if he wanted to control a region, it wasn't enough to rely on a few God Emperors in his family. He also needed the approval and support of the Sacred God in the narrow sense of the God Realm. The Sacred God had made an agreement with all the great families. If a great family suffered a great loss and couldn't control the situation, then that great family would have to give up control and lose the support of the Sacred God.
Losing control wasn't a big deal, but losing the support of the Sacred God meant that the great family would quickly fall under the covetous eyes of the other great families in the narrow sense of the God Realm. Such examples were common in the history of the narrow sense of the God Realm.
"This marriage is a good thing for our Family Jiang and Yong An. Although the Kou Clan of the Changle Main City is ranked at the bottom of all the great families, they still control a region and have the support of the Sacred God. The marriage between our two families is beneficial to our long-term development," the middle-aged cultivator said calmly.
"Then will the Kou Clan marry Cousin Lan Yue or Lang Chang?" Situ Maozheng asked.
"They didn't say. The Kou Clan let me decide," the middle-aged cultivator shook his head.
"Uncle, have you decided?" Situ Maozheng was slightly nervous and even changed the way he addressed the middle-aged cultivator.
"It's not easy to decide, so I called you over to ask. After all, you've been with them for a long time and know them better. Who do you think is more suitable?" The middle-aged cultivator pushed the question to Situ Maozheng.
"This matter is of great importance and involves the marriage of my two cousins. Maozheng doesn't dare to say too much," Situ Maozheng calmly replied.
"Ever since Lan Yue traveled to the lower realms, her temperament has matured a lot. If I ask her to marry, she should agree for the sake of the family. However, I intend to let her take over my position when she becomes the God Emperor. Unfortunately, Lang Chang still has a childish temper. If I ask her to marry, she definitely won't agree. She won't listen to any of the grand principles I tell her," the middle-aged cultivator said with a troubled expression.
Situ Maozheng thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, the reason you agreed to marry the Kou Clan is for the sake of our Family Jiang's long-term development. If it's for the long term, Uncle naturally has to consider which of the two cousins is more suitable to take over the position of the head of the family."
The middle-aged cultivator frowned slightly and said, "From what you're saying, you think Lang Chang should marry into the Kou Clan?"
Situ Maozheng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"
The middle-aged cultivator muttered to himself for a long time before saying, "Now, let's talk about the second matter. Great Elder recently found traces of the Night Demons' God Emperor. However, there are still many God Kings around him. Pick twenty God Kings from the family to meet with Great Elder."
Situ Maozheng cupped his hands and said, "Understood!"
"This trip may be very dangerous. You must be careful," the middle-aged cultivator said in a seemingly concerned tone.
Situ Maozheng was originally a bit dissatisfied. After all, he was close to the head of the Family Jiang. His mother was the sister of the head's wife. The head of the Family Jiang should take special care of him and not give him such a dangerous mission. However, when he heard the head of the family's last sentence and thought about how the head of the family had just discussed such an important matter with him, he felt much better.
After Situ Maozheng left, the head of the Family Jiang's face suddenly became gloomy. The helplessness and dejection from before were all gone. He said confidently, "No one can have any ideas about my daughter!"
Situ Maozheng followed the orders of the head of the Family Jiang, Jiang Shengye, and picked twenty God Kings from the Family Jiang. As soon as he stepped out of the main city of Changle, the mischievous and child-like Lang Chang also left through another city gate.
In the end, Xiao Lingyu left the mercenary group under the reluctant gazes of the Wildfire cultivators. Alone, he flew aimlessly into the sky of Yong An and disappeared.
As for the future, Xiao Lingyu didn't have a long-term plan. However, he had reached the peak of the Late Stage of Chaos Enlightening Realm. He was only one step away from the Seventh Revolution of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula.
If Xiao Lingyu did not use the saint artifact right now, he could fight against some early and mid Godkings with his own strength. It would not be difficult for him to win, but it would be very difficult for him to kill them. It just so happened that he could not use the saint artifact whenever he wanted, and if he encountered multiple Godkings working together, he would be in great danger. As a result, reaching the seventh Cycle had become his first priority.
There were many preparations for the Seventh Revolution. First, he had to improve his body quality to the level of a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon. Second, he needed a lot of God Stones to provide energy support. Then, he had to prepare all kinds of necessary materials and comprehend more of the Chaos Principles.
Other than the fact that obtaining the God's Stone was an easy task, the rest of the preparations that needed to be made were not easy to accomplish.
As Xiao Lingyu flew at a moderate speed, he calculated in his heart. From time to time, he would take out a jade slip that he had purchased not long ago to adjust his flying direction.
As usual, it wasn't difficult to prepare ordinary materials. As long as he had enough God Stones, he could buy them in the cities of Yong An. However, the most important main material was often difficult to obtain through purchasing.
The most important main ingredient needed to break through to the seventh revolution was the Seven Star Pearl Vine. Even in the God Realm, it was an extremely rare top-grade ingredient. Its value was even more valuable than a top-grade divine artifact. Most importantly, it was nowhere to be found.
Yong An didn't have a large organization like the Bounty Hunter Organization. Although there were stone tablets that issued missions in every city, it was very troublesome to issue missions one by one. Moreover, the efficiency was very low. Xiao Lingyu could only rely on himself to find the materials he needed. The difficulty was undoubtedly many times higher.
Moreover, Yong An had just been attacked by the Night Devil. Many mercenaries and mercenary organizations were targeting the Night Devil. Many cities were also very bleak. This increased the difficulty of purchasing materials for Xiao Lingyu.
