139: Sword-wielding Elder

Even with Lu Qian and the others helping to keep an eye out, it's estimated that the transfer order won't come down anytime soon.

After all, the front line has just stabilized, and the subsequent mining of the demon cloud ore is also a very important task.

As for the resources that should have been born in the Earth-Rank Demon Cave, it's clear that even City Lord Sheng Yuntian could only place the blame on the escaped Ling Jianglong.

Therefore, the search and pursuit of Ling Jianglong is also an extremely important matter.

The two lost treasures alone are each priceless items.

Thus, the imperial court will certainly not let Ling Jianglong off the hook.

With various complicated matters piling up, Jiang Chen's transfer order will naturally be delayed for some time.

This also happens to be a good opportunity to properly enhance his own strength.

He has quite a few resources in hand that he hasn't had the chance to digest.

"This extreme cold marrow stone also contains a very vast amount of Body Tempering Qi."

"Besides being able to boost a certain amount of Physical Body strength, it can also greatly increase Body Tempering Qi!"

Jiang Chen held a crystal-clear gem in his hand.

The energy emanating from this gem was bone-chillingly cold.

In an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy spring.

"Whoa, it's really cold!"

Jiang Chen realized that this thing probably wasn't something just anyone could refine.

On one hand, not everyone has the body to withstand it, and on the other hand, ordinary Cultivation Techniques simply couldn't suppress such a powerful surge of energy.

However, this extreme cold marrow stone was naturally nothing to Jiang Chen.

The Great Wilderness Emperor Yang Art circulated.

Immediately, a vast True Yang Qi was released from Jiang Chen's body, easily suppressing the power of the extreme cold marrow stone in his hand.

"Boom!"

No matter how violent the power produced by the extreme cold marrow stone, it could not cause Jiang Chen the slightest harm.

Furthermore, the spiritual power Jiang Chen activated was forcibly extracting the power from the extreme cold marrow stone for refinement.

As Jiang Chen refined the extreme cold marrow stone, he clearly felt the Body Tempering Qi within his body rapidly increasing.

During the time Jiang Chen rested in Dongfeng Town, hundreds of miles away, Cangzhou City was engulfed in a storm.

Something big happened to the Jin Family!

No matter how much the Jin Family tried to conceal it, this matter was simply too significant.

Even the Fenglan Sword Sect was mobilized.

The reason was none other than the death of both sons of the Jin Family Clan Chief.

According to reliable intelligence, Jin Zhaoxuan and Jin Zhaolun's soul lamps shattered almost simultaneously.

As for Jin Zhaolun's death, Li Tianheng had some clues.

Because the last place Jin Zhaolun appeared was in Li Tianheng's war zone camp.

Although Jin Zhaolun's presence in such a place was inappropriate, now that he was dead, the City Lord did not pursue the matter but instead asked Li Tianheng to cooperate fully.

Li Tianheng, however, simply claimed he wasn't very clear and that these people were not under his jurisdiction, completely deflecting responsibility.

Of course, how Jin Zhaolun died was something the Jin Family knew full well.

The matter of Qi Baifeng being mixed in with the team was naturally arranged by the Jin Family.

Even Qi Baifeng was left behind in the Qingyun Mountain Range.

He was a true Earth Martial Realm expert.

Could it be that this Qingyun Mountain Range is full of Earth Martial Realm demons?

What angered the Jin Family most was not just Jin Zhaolun's death, but Jin Zhaoxuan's!

If Jin Zhaolun had died, they would still have a reason to investigate.

But Jin Zhaoxuan had infiltrated the Qingyun Mountain Range with Li Biao and others from the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Now that he was killed, the Jin Family could only endure it, and they couldn't even go to the scene to investigate the matter.

They could only publicly announce that Jin Zhaoxuan had died accidentally during a trial.

The Fenglan Sword Sect immediately sent representatives to express condolences.

But in reality, the so-called representatives were precisely there for the matter concerning Jin Zhaoxuan and Li Biao's group.

On this day, the Jin Family's Clan Chief, Jintie City, led a group of Family Elders to welcome the envoy from the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Throughout the Great Lan Dynasty, there were only a few forces that could be called top-tier.

The Fenglan Sword Sect was one of them.

Even if the Great Lan Dynasty were to hold some martial arts competition, they would have to invite the Fenglan Sword Sect to preside, which shows the status of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Every year, many Disciples from the Sacred Martial Academy would go to the Fenglan Sword Sect to study and exchange developments.

Recently, there were even rumors that the imperial court intended to bestow the title of Protector Sword Sect upon the Fenglan Sword Sect!

Of course, this was just a whisper.

Elder Cai Tian, Elder from the Fenglan Sword Sect, with a dark expression, stepped into the Jin Family's deliberation hall.

Jintie City and the others all rose.

Ordinarily, Jintie City held a high position and was seen as a lofty existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of Elder Cai Tian, Elder, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The Fenglan Sword Sect had a total of six Sword-Wielding Elders, representing the strongest combat power among the Fenglan Sword Sect's Elder seats.

Cai Tian, Elder was one of them.

Even in the appointment of the next Sect Master, Cai Tian, Elder's opinion carried significant weight.

At this moment, Cai Tian, Elder personally came to the Jin Family, showing the seriousness of the matter.

Cai Tian, Elder ignored the greetings from Jintie City and the others.

With great strength and a powerful background, one could do as one pleased.

Cai Tian, Elder walked past everyone and took his seat directly.

Jintie City and the others, without Cai Tian, Elder's permission, dared not sit down and remained standing respectfully.

Whether the Jin Family could advance further depended entirely on the Fenglan Sword Sect.

But now, this originally ironclad matter was ruined just like that.

"The demonic sky flower, in whose hands is it?"

Cai Tian, Elder finally spoke.

But everyone did not feel the pressure on them lessen in the slightest; instead, it felt more like a death warrant had been issued.

The demonic sky flower.

One of the three great treasures that would appear in the Earth-Rank Demon Cave!

It is said to be able to enhance cultivation and allow one to Breakthrough the barrier to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

It was also what that person from the Fenglan Sword Sect wanted.

To Cai Tian, Elder, it didn't matter how many Disciples the Fenglan Sword Sect had lost, or how many people the Jin Family had lost.

He only cared about what he wanted.

"Reporting, Elder, we are still investigating this matter."

Jintie City said.

As soon as he spoke, Cai Tian, Elder's gaze pierced him like a sharp sword.

The pressure made Jintie City unable to breathe.

Jintie City quickly continued, "Although we still don't know where the demonic sky flower is, we can be sure that Ling Jianglong is definitely involved in this matter."

"As long as we find Ling Jianglong, everything will be clear!"

Cai Tian, Elder clearly didn't expect Jintie City and the others to give any satisfactory answer.

"Hmph, what if that Ling Jianglong is dead?"

"Ling Jianglong must be found, and a new Demon Cave must also be opened!"

"Cangzhou City's Origin Qi is severely depleted now; we cannot place all our hopes on Ling Jianglong. You all quickly contact the Wuzui Sect and open a new Demon Cave for me within three days!"

Cai Tian, Elder said coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jin Family widened their eyes.

"This..."

Jintie City was about to say more.

But he saw the look Cai Tian, Elder cast, and immediately could only grit his teeth.

"Understood!"
