922: The Battle for the Treasure in Jiaolong Valley

As soon as Jiangshan spoke, it felt like opening the window and speaking frankly.

It was completely a situation of 'I've laid my cards on the table, let's talk openly'!

"Lord Jiangshan, this is a bit inappropriate. Your Majesty... doesn't wish for you to interfere in this matter."

Miao Gouer's deep eyes subtly lowered, and a clear warning emerged in her voice.

Since the other party was so direct,

then she had nothing to beat around the bush about.

"Hmph, if I leave, you will definitely get nothing good from this trip to Jiaolong Valley!"

"Do you really think that by driving me away, all the good things will be yours? Is the only competitor me?"

"This time, the Divine Hall and the Demon Hall, their people have all come!"

"Even if you get some benefits, when these little brats come out of Jiaolong Valley with treasures, can you protect them alone?"

"People from the Divine Hall and the Demon Hall have also come?!"

Miao Gouer's tone rose significantly: "How is that possible? After Jiaolong Valley had been opened three times, the things left inside couldn't attract the interest of these two forces. Why would both come this time, and simultaneously?!"

"Because the truly good things inside are about to appear!"

Jiangshan's tone was serious, and he did not hide anything.

This matter, among the high-level information channels in the Outer Domain, was considered a secret, but it wasn't unspeakable.

Thinking about it, there was also some confusion and shock.

Jiaolong Valley, which had been normal so many times, happened to have the information of a Divine Inheritance appearing when it appeared this time, and it was extremely accurate information!

"Truly good things? Could it be a Divine Inheritance?!"

Miao Gouer's inability to remain calm caused her chest to tremble slightly.

Jiangshan nodded silently: "Now, do you think you alone can lead these little children to obtain good things?"

Hearing this, Miao Gouer was somewhat silent.

Indeed.

In previous years,

when Jiaolong Valley was opened several times before, a Grand Sage Master leading the children into the Secret Realm was considered normal, even a high-end configuration.

But at this time,

with the arrival of both the Divine Hall and the Demon Hall, a Grand Sage Master leading the team seemed a bit weak.

"I will send a message to the Imperial City and ask the Royal Family to send a Supreme Expert!"

Miao Gouer quickly thought of seeking help.

This was a Divine Inheritance.

As long as the message was sent, it would definitely make a Supreme Expert set off!

"It's useless. If I'm not mistaken, those few Supreme Experts in the Imperial City should have been dragged away for a chat and tea by the Supreme Experts of the Divine Hall or the Demon Hall."

"Also, I have conveyed the letter about the Divine Inheritance to the Dynasty, but there has been no news at all."

"The infiltration of spies within the Imperial City is too deep."

"Of course, it's not just us; the other few countries also don't know about this Divine Inheritance."

"The Divine Hall has sealed off the information too tightly."

"This..."

Miao Gouer fell into hesitation.

If it was truly as Jiangshan said, the information from the Royal Family was severely disconnected from here.

If the Royal Family knew what was happening here, they definitely wouldn't have only sent her alone.

Now that the opening of Jiaolong Valley was imminent, it was already impossible for her to go back for help.

The final choice was to cooperate with Lord Jiangshan!

"Can the two of us together protect these juniors?"

Miao Gouer couldn't help but ask one more question.

"At least it's more reliable than you alone, unless you don't plan to take these children who are about to take the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination to Jiaolong Valley, in which case it doesn't matter."

Now it was Jiangshan's attitude that became casual.

How could he not take these juniors to Jiaolong Valley?

The Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination was approaching, and this trip to Jiaolong Valley was the last and most crucial training ground for these children!

"What do you want?"

Miao Gouer understood.

Since the two had talked to this extent, the next step was naturally to discuss the distribution of interests.

"Wait a moment. I will give you a reply before the Jiaolong Valley Secret Realm opens."

Jiangshan did not directly state his conditions. After dealing with this, he waved to the servants beside him and said: "Take City Lord Miao and these children down to rest. Tell them about the matters of Jiaolong Valley, the major forces that have recently come to the Outer Domain, the current situation, and also explain clearly to Qingxie Dasheng."

Amidst the servants' farewells, Jiangshan was alone in the mansion again.

Looking down at the Desert below.

With his extremely high eyesight, he could see that there were many more people in this Desert than before.

Of course.

These people basically came with the intention of exploring the Jiaolong Mountain Valley that opened every eighty years.

The area where Jiaolong Valley opened was very large, so there were no restrictions.

This also attracted many commoners to participate, and nearly 99.9% of the people did not know that a great Opportunity would appear in this Secret Realm this time.

However, that thing itself had nothing to do with the vast majority of these people.

"Someone!"

Jiangshan called out in a muffled voice to the person behind him.

After a while, a General arrived in a hurry: "Greetings, City Lord!"

"Help me find a Child named Du Xingchen. His Martial Soul is the Mystic Fire Turtle. He must be found within today or tomorrow!"

"Immediately invite him here after seeing him. Note, it's an invitation! You must not cause him any harm, understood?"

After these words fell, the General behind Jiangshan did not reply for a moment.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"Reporting to the City Lord, there is a young man outside claiming to be Du Xingchen who wishes to see the City Lord."

"Oh?! Quickly bring him in."

"Your subordinate just drove him away."

The General replied honestly.

There was some silence in the air, and then Jiangshan kicked the General with a big foot: "You drove him away? If you drove him away, go chase him! You idiot, if you don't report this matter, are you afraid I won't beat you?!"

"Your subordinate understands, your subordinate understands."

Amidst respectful voices, the General quickly ran off.

As the other party left, Jiangshan took a deep breath of fresh air.

While annoyed, a surge of excitement arose.

He didn't expect that Child to come looking for him directly!

This was truly a telepathic connection!

Grinning, Jiangshan then heard footsteps from behind.

He turned his head to look.

All the facial information in the previous portrait completely matched!

"Greetings, Grandpa Jiangshan."

Du Xingchen respectfully bowed after seeing this vigorous Old man.

"Hahaha, you recognize me?!"

Jiangshan's tone was rough, with a hint of surprise in his question.

"When I was little, my Father told me about Grandpa Jiangshan. I still remember."

Du Xingchen began to fabricate a story.

He understood that the System had arranged this identity for him, and to further solidify it, he had to perform it himself.

"Your Father even mentioned me to you? Good, good, good!"

Jiangshan was even more excited when he heard this: "How did your Father describe me?"

"He said that although Uncle Jiangshan's Aptitude was poor, he cultivated very diligently. If I grow up in the future, I should also learn from Grandpa Jiangshan."

"Alas, I'm not that diligent. There are many people in the world who are more diligent than me."

Jiangshan waved his hand, but the more he looked at Du Xingchen, the more satisfied he became: "He looks like... this appearance, he looks like... he should look like your mother."

He coughed, and Jiangshan asked kindly: "Since you know you have this Grandpa, why didn't you come to find me in the past few years?"

"Actually, regarding the specific information about Grandpa Jiangshan, I was also told by a mysterious person a while ago."

Du Xingchen performed: "Originally, I actually thought that the Grandpa Jiangshan my Father spoke of had passed away."

"That mysterious person told me that Grandpa Jiangshan you are still alive and asked me to find you. He said you know a lot about my Father."

"Oh?"

Jiangshan raised an eyebrow: "That person who told you about this, isn't he a guy named Ye Tian?"

"Ye Tian?!"

This time it was Du Xingchen's heart that skipped a beat.

Then he saw the Old man's expression, looked back at the System, remembered the origin of the relationship established between him and Jiangshan, and in a flash, he also realized something.

"Yes, that person is called Ye Tian!"

"That's good."

Jiangshan nodded as if he had understood everything: "Actually, I also knew your information because this person named Ye Tian told me."

"In my opinion, that person is probably also a friend or relative of your Father."

"Regarding your Father's matters, this Old man actually doesn't know much. I'll just tell you some things about the time I spent with your Father."

Jiangshan felt emotional upon seeing the son of an old friend, and at the same time, his thoughts drifted far away.

Du Xingchen didn't say much, listening quietly.

From time to time, he also interspersed some descriptions and information fragments about the protagonist's Father that he knew.

This also made Jiangshan even more certain of Du Xingchen's identity, and also showed a stronger affection for him.

"Xingchen, do you know that a great treasure is about to appear in our Outer Domain recently?"

Jiangshan looked at Du Xingchen gently.

"Great treasure? Is it Jiaolong Valley?"

Du Xingchen cooperatively said some information that he should know at this stage.

"That's right, it's Jiaolong Valley!"

Jiangshan's words were serious, and then he added: "But unlike before, this time, truly good things are going to appear in Jiaolong Valley!"

"Xingchen, originally I didn't know why I had to fight for that treasure, but after seeing you, this Old man understands!"

"This is probably the will of Heaven."
