21: Of course, I personally went to rescue the mother and daughter!
"Not in a good situation?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhan waved his hand, and the detailed intelligence regarding the Misty Rain Tower in the Forest Realm flowed into Jiang Yuan's mind like a stream of information.
The Forest Realm was merely an insignificant existence among the three thousand Small Worlds.
The level of cultivation in this world was extremely low; the strongest individual was only at the 6th Realm, the Divine Ability Realm, and did not even have the qualifications to ascend to the Middle Thousand Worlds.
As for the Misty Rain Tower, it was only a first-rate Sect in the Forest Realm. The Sect Master, Qin Yuebai, had a cultivation at the Peak of the 5th Realm, the Law Domain Realm, and was already the strongest in the Sect.
Originally, with the strength of the Misty Rain Tower, they could have lived peacefully in their own corner.
The problem lay with Qin Yuebai's Twin Lotus Body.
These two Physiques might not count for much in the Emperor Immortal Great World, but the Forest Realm was rich in wood-elemental Spiritual Qi.
Dao Bodies with rich wood attributes like the Twin Lotus Body had very strong combat bonuses in this environment.
Coupled with the fact that the founder of the Forest Realm was a Supreme from a million years ago with the 11th Realm Ethyl Wood Dao Body,
under multiple factors, a wood-attribute Dao Body like the Twin Lotus Body was no different from a top-tier Cauldron Physique in such a small place.
Especially for those who Cultivate Demonic Technique, it was a great tonic.
Consequently, the Misty Rain Tower was targeted by the Forest Realm's number one Demonic Sect—the Blood Fiend Sect.
The Sect Master of the Blood Fiend Sect, Blood Boundless, was a 6th Realm powerhouse, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced required harvesting Yin to replenish Yang.
He had long coveted Qin Yuebai, but was hindered by the foundation of the Misty Rain Tower. Plus, with the wood-attribute bonus of the Twin Lotus Body and the combined efforts of her 'daughter' Qin Wanwan,
under the reinforcement of dual spiritual power, they could count as more than half a 6th Realm expert for a time.
Even Blood Boundless had to weigh whether it would be a thankless task and end up having his peaches plucked by someone else.
However, not long ago, Blood Boundless ran into trouble while practicing his Demonic Technique and urgently needed a high-quality Cauldron to heal his injuries and break through his Bottleneck.
Thus, he locked his sights completely onto the mother-daughter duo, Qin Yuebai and Qin Wanwan.
He issued an ultimatum to the Misty Rain Tower: within seven days, Qin Yuebai must bring Qin Wanwan to the Blood Fiend Sect in person to plead guilty,
otherwise, he would raze the Misty Rain Tower to the ground, leaving no living thing behind.
"A seven-day deadline? Let me count the time, today is the third day, right?" Jiang Yuan frowned.
"Correct," Jiang Zhan nodded. "We just used the Heaven Patrol Hall of our Jiang Family in the Middle Thousand Worlds to transmit the information back using a boundary-breaking transmission array. The Forest Realm is too far from us, I'm afraid the time is a bit tight."
"In other words, if we don't go, this mother-daughter duo will be ruined by that so-called Blood Boundless?" Jiang Yuan's face darkened.
Damn it!
You dare touch a woman I've set my eyes on?
You must be tired of living!
"Yuaner, don't be impatient." Jiang Shouzhuo comforted him, "It's just a Devil Head from the Lower Realm. The Family Head is already preparing to send people over. If we use our Jiang Family's Emperor Immortal Boat, there is still time."
"Who are you sending? A Quasi-Saint? Or a Great Saint?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Blessed Life will do. He is a 13th Realm Great Saint and a Saint King; he could sweep through even the Middle Thousand Worlds," Jiang Zhan said.
"No." Jiang Yuan refused directly. "I'm not at ease with Uncle Blessed Life going alone."
It wasn't that he didn't trust Uncle Blessed Life's strength. A 13th Realm Great Saint going to a Small World where the maximum was 6th Realm,
that was simply dimensional reduction warfare; it was no different from driving an aircraft carrier to a primitive tribe.
But what he was worried about was the time.
If something went wrong on the way and the time was delayed, wouldn't his mother-daughter duo be gone?
He wouldn't make such a losing deal.
"Then what do you mean, Yuaner?" Jiang Zhan asked.
"I'm going there myself!" Jiang Yuan stood up and said decisively.
"What?!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
The entire great hall exploded in an instant.
All the clan elders stood up, looking full of opposition.
"Yuaner, what is your status now? You are a body of immense value! How can you personally go to such a backwater Small World to take risks?"
"Exactly. The Spiritual Qi in that Forest Realm is thin, and the Laws are incomplete. What if it affects your body?"
"No, absolutely not! Your safety is the top priority for our Jiang Family, it cannot be compromised!"
The clan elders were jumping with anxiety.
Are you kidding?
Let the Family's strategic breeding core go to the front line personally?
What if he gets even a scratch?
Who could bear that responsibility?
"Respected elders, Uncle, listen to me." Jiang Yuan raised his hand to press down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
He looked at their tense expressions, finding it somewhat amusing but feeling more warmth.
He knew these old guys were genuinely concerned about him.
"This mother-daughter duo is the first link in my grand strategy, it is crucial. Only by going personally can I show the sincerity of our Jiang Family."
"Think about it, a woman driven to a desperate situation suddenly sees me, the Jiang Family Imperial Son, descending like a divine soldier to save her and wanting to marry her. What will her reaction be?"
"She will definitely be moved to tears, offer herself in marriage, and from then on be devoted to me!"
"What is this called? This is called offering charcoal in snowy weather! This effect is much better than us just sending someone over to forcefully bring them back!"
"Secondly..." Jiang Yuan paused and chuckled, "I've grown up so big, yet I've never traveled far. Staying at home every day, my bones are almost rusting."
"And finally, the most important point..."
"Sixth Grandfather will be coming with me."
Boom!
The great hall instantly boiled over.
"Sixth Ancestor?"
"He has awakened?"
"A Great Emperor personally guarding him, this treatment is... but if I were a Great Emperor, I wouldn't mind either."
"If Sixth Ancestor agrees, we have no objections."
If something went wrong while having a Great Emperor with him,
then their Jiang Family might as well commit mass suicide.
Sixth Ancestor naturally wouldn't have any objections; this was what he had just transmitted to him.
He had stayed in the ancestral land for too long, so long that he had forgotten time, and he also wanted to come out for a walk.
However, according to Sixth Ancestor, it was not convenient for a Great Emperor to descend personally,
especially to a Small World.
The rules of a Great Emperor would cause the Small World to collapse.
So he would only release a sleeping Great Emperor Clone to protect Jiang Yuan.
"But... your safety..." Jiang Zhan was still a bit worried.
"Uncle, even without mentioning Sixth Grandfather, do you think anyone in the Emperor Immortal Great World would dare to touch me?" Jiang Yuan asked back.
Jiang Zhan was choked for words.
Indeed.
Jiang Yuan wore the title of Jiang Family Imperial Son, which was the most powerful amulet.
Whoever dared to touch him would be declaring war on the entire Jiang Family, declaring war on the Current Era Great Emperor.
"Alright."
Jiang Zhan pondered for a long time and finally relented, "Since you insist, I can agree, but you must send more people to protect you!"
"Sure, no problem." Jiang Yuan readily agreed.
The more people, the better. It's grand, and the effect of showing off will be better.
"Then... Family Head, who is suitable to go?" A clan elder asked.
Before Jiang Zhan could speak, a resonant voice came from outside the great hall.
"I will go!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly young man with sharp eyes like knives striding in.
It was Jiang Yi, who had just been promoted to the Chaos Sword Body!
"Your Highness Imperial Son is going to the Lower Realm. Jiang Yi is willing to be your sword, clearing away all obstacles!"
Jiang Yi walked in front of Jiang Yuan, knelt on one knee, his voice firm and powerful.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yuan was full of fanatical worship.
To him, Jiang Yuan was his creator god.
Being able to serve Jiang Yuan was his Supreme glory.
