56: Return to Xuanyang Tower

Jiang Xian turned back to look at Jiang Ye. "As expected of Uncle Ling Yi's son. No wonder they wanted to hide you away. That strike just now was the Blazing Sun Saber Technique of the Xuan Yang Tower, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it's the Blazing Sun Saber Technique that I only recently mastered."

"You're only seventeen, right? It seems the most talented person of our generation is you."

"Hehehe, Cousin, you flatter me!"

Jiang Ding suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap! Little brother, I thought you were bragging before!"

Jiang Lingren rolled his eyes at him. "Which of your cousins wasn't stronger than you at your age? Now even your younger cousin has surpassed you. You useless thing!"

"Hey! I'm just not suited for cultivation. I'll just do something else!"

The next day.

Jiang Ye secretly returned to Xuan Yang Tower and immediately went to Cultivate under the xuan yang stele. Inside Golden Sun Son's residential palace, Grand Elder Du Hong was reporting matters to him.

"Vice Tower Master, Jiang Ye has returned. Do you suspect that the death of the Wang Family Head is related to him?"

Golden Sun Son said, "It was shortly after he left Xuan Yang Tower that day that a battle between two experts at the Ninth Stage of Profound Dharma Realm broke out there. One of them was the deceased Wang Mang."

"By the time I arrived, although the people had vanished, the lingering aura of a battle involving our Blazing Sun Saber Technique remained at the scene."

Du Hong said, "Then the other person at the Ninth Stage of Profound Dharma Realm is most likely Jiang Shanba. The Wang Family had targeted Jiang Ye multiple times; they probably ran into each other that day. Given Jiang Shanba's temperament, if someone attacked his grandson right in front of him, he would certainly fly into a rage and strike without hesitation."

"What I don't understand now is how he managed to kill Wang Mang. That day, a Profound Dharma Realm Elder from the Tai Xuan Sect also died, along with four Disciples of the Heavenly Profound Realm, one of whom was Wang Zhao, who the Wang Family was preparing for the Battle of the Ten Great Families."

"Hmm? Then who killed them? No matter how talented Jiang Ye is, it's impossible for him to contend with the Profound Dharma Realm! Could other members of the Jiang Family have come?"

Golden Sun Son shook his head. "The Investigation Tower has already looked into it. Almost all the Profound Dharma Realm experts of the Jiang Family were at the Family estate that day. Aside from Jiang Shanba leaving once, no one else came out."

"If the person who used the Blazing Sun Saber Technique really was Jiang Ye, then how did he hold out against a Profound Dharma Realm Elder of the Tai Xuan Sect while waiting for Jiang Shanba's rescue? This matter is feeling more and more mysterious."

"Since Jiang Ye entered Xuan Yang Tower, he doesn't seem to have broken through at all. His two companions have already reached the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm. For what reason did the Jiang Family keep him hidden for so many years?"

"I can't figure out this Jiang Ye either. You say he has no talent, yet he mastered both the palm and saber techniques within a year. But now, he's been stuck at the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm, unable to break through the Profound Dharma Realm Bottleneck for the longest time."

Golden Sun Son chuckled. "Hehe! No rush. He's still just a seventeen-year-old youth. Although we haven't seen him Breakthrough, his aura is growing stronger and stronger. Breaking through to the Profound Dharma Realm is only a matter of time."

At that moment, a Disciple entered and said, "Reporting to Vice Tower Master, the Grand Elder of the Tai Xuan Sect has arrived. He says he's here to investigate the cause of death of one of their Elders."

"Oh? They've come looking for my Xuan Yang Tower!"

A short while later, inside a reception hall.

Golden Sun Son received the Grand Elder of the Tai Xuan Sect. Three other Elders had come along with him. Golden Sun Son said, "Elder Wu, coming to my Xuan Yang Tower to investigate today... do you suspect that the death of your Tai Xuan Sect Elder is related to us?"

Elder Wu said, "The incident occurred not far from your Xuan Yang Tower. According to our investigation, marks left by your Blazing Sun Saber Technique were found at the site of the battle. So, we've come to ask who from your side went out that day."
