Chapter 2286 - 2278: Jiang Wuji’s Speculation

"Thank you, Tan Hongyi and other brothers, for coming to the Old Master’s grand birthday. Your visit greatly honors the Jiang family!" Jiang Tian clasped his hands in respect towards Tan Hongyi, smiling broadly.

Having Tan Hongyi and the other sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land present was indeed an unparalleled honor.

Old Master Jiang Wuji also had a face full of joy. Although the sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land were here because of Jiang Tian, to Jiang Wuji, it made no difference; it was an honor for him and the Jiang family.

Tan Hongyi smiled and cupped his hands in return, "Brother Jiang Tian and I share a deep friendship, so coming to celebrate the Old Master’s birthday is only right. We didn’t bring much, but please accept this Dragon Transformation One Qi Pill, Old Master."

The other sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land also smiled in agreement.

"Dragon Transformation One Qi Pill!"

The Sect Master of Fanhe Divine Sect and all the sect leaders and family heads in the hall were shocked.

This Dragon Transformation One Qi Pill is a top-tier Divine Pill of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, which can only be refined by the Dragon Transformation Saint, the Sect Leader of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land. It is a high-grade Sixth Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixir and even a priceless treasure for the sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land. Yet, Tan Hongyi and the others presented it as a birthday gift.

The sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land are indeed extraordinary!

Although the birthday gift from the Fanhe Divine Sect’s Sect Master was a Treasure Dragon Longevity Divine Pill, which was also Sixth Grade, it was merely a regular Sixth Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixir, nowhere near the high-grade Dragon Transformation One Qi Pill.

Old Master Jiang Wuji laughed heartily as he accepted the Dragon Transformation One Qi Pill from Tan Hongyi, saying, "The honorable sons are too polite. Your presence itself is already a great honor for me and the Jiang family."

Tan Hongyi and his companions exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Wuji for a while.

Then, Jiang Tian, Jiang Wuji, Tan Hongyi, and the Fanhe Divine Sect Master Fan Fan began to converse jovially.

In the Great Hall, the other family heads and sect leaders did not dare to speak casually; they listened with smiles and nodded along.

Chen Kebin, the head of the Chen family, sat there, lips tightly shut and devoid of any smile, with a somewhat grim expression, as he had just received reports about the incident at the Chen family headquarters.

The Chen family headquarters had been attacked!

Though not completely destroyed, thousands of Chen family experts were seriously injured! Including Chen Wanyi and Chen Yan, the two elders overseeing the Chen family.

The main gate of the Chen family was smashed open with a single punch!

This was the greatest humiliation in the history of the Chen family.

And supposedly, it was all because of a house slave of the Chen family!

Chen Kebin glanced at the smiling Old Master Jiang Wuji, whose face was glowing with celebration, and the radiant Jiang Tian. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask for their assistance, fearing that the power necessary to heavily injure two Chen family elders could only be Supreme Tenth Stage Late Stage. Only by seeking help from the Jiang family could the opponent be suppressed.

However, considering it was Old Master Jiang Wuji’s grand birthday, he hesitated, fearing to dampen their spirits and anger Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji.

As Jiang Tian, Jiang Wuji, and the sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, along with Fanhe Divine Sect Master Fan Fan, laughed together, a Supreme Elder of the Jiang family suddenly entered, approaching Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji to report something softly.

Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji were surprised and astonished upon hearing the report.

After the Supreme Elder finished reporting, Jiang Tian waved him away.

"Family Head Chen," Jiang Tian began, "I heard your Chen family headquarters was recently attacked, and even the two elders overseeing your household were seriously injured."

Jiang Tian’s words sent shockwaves through the Great Hall, leaving all sect leaders and family heads stunned.

The Chen family headquarters had been attacked?!

Chen Kebin quickly rose to his feet, respectfully replying, "In response to Saint Son Jiang Tian, your highness, I have just received the news myself. I did not expect the incident with the Chen family would trouble Saint Son Jiang Tian and Old Master Jiang Wuji. My apologies."

Old Master Jiang Wuji shook his hand, saying, "The Chen family is an ally of our Jiang family, and we are also relatives by marriage. The Chen family’s matter is the Jiang family’s matter; there’s no need to be concerned about troubling us." Then, his eyes flashed sharply, "Everyone in the Sacred Land knows of the Chen family’s relationship with us. For someone to dare attack your headquarters now is to blatantly disregard our Jiang family!"

At this, a family head stood up, respectfully saying, "I am willing to serve Old Master Jiang and capture the culprit to avenge Brother Chen Kebin."

This family head was the Gao Family Patriarch.

The Gao family, though not as prestigious as the Jiang family, was still a top-tier family of the Central Sacred Dynasty, stronger than the Chen family.

Immediately, other family heads and sect leaders in the Great Hall rose, stating their willingness to intervene.

At that moment, the Jiang family’s Supreme Elder returned, softly reporting again to Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji.

Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji wore expressions of surprise once more.

"The Supreme Elder reported that this person and his followers are heading towards our Jiang family," Jiang Tian announced to the crowd.

The crowd paused, exchanged glances, each seeing the other’s surprise.

To attack the Chen family headquarters and then dare approach the Jiang family at this time?

What’s going on here? Does this person really dare to cause trouble at the Jiang family now?

Jiang Tian scanned the crowd, calmly stating, "Based on the description, I suspect this person might be our Holy Sect’s newly appointed Holy Son, Huang Xiaolong!"

When he mentioned the name Huang Xiaolong, a fierce murderous intent emanated from Jiang Tian.

"What, it’s that Huang Xiaolong?!" All family heads and sect leaders turned pale.

Though the Holy Sect tried to keep the battle between Huang Xiaolong and Huang Zhouping at the Holy Platform a secret, such a monumental event couldn’t be hidden. Thus, top families and sects in the Sacred Land were aware, and they knew Huang Xiaolong had ultimately killed Huang Zhouping!

Some even knew about Huang Xiaolong previously killing Jiang Tian’s nephew, Jiang Heyu.

Those who had just declared their willingness to serve Old Master Jiang in capturing the culprit, including the Gao Family Patriarch, fell silent.

No matter how bold or "loyal" they were to the Jiang family, they dared not openly act against a Holy Son.

"A new Holy Son, Huang Xiaolong?" As the family heads and sect leaders stayed silent, Tan Hongyi, the son of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, showed interest, asking, "Brother Jiang Tian, do you have an issue with this Huang Xiaolong?"

Having just arrived at Zhuoyuan Sacred Land, it was the first time he had heard of Huang Xiaolong.

Jiang Tian nodded, "This Huang Xiaolong is wildly arrogant, relying on his status as a Holy Son. He ambushed and killed my nephew, Jiang Heyu, and later challenged my junior disciple Huang Zhouping to a death battle at the Holy Platform, where he killed him!"

"Oh, he killed Huang Zhouping?" Tan Hongyi and the other sons of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land were somewhat surprised.

Immediately, Jiang Tian recounted the details of the Holy Platform battle to Tan Hongyi and the others.

"Right, Old Master, there’s something I haven’t had the chance to tell you." Jiang Tian suddenly remembered and said, sharing the incident of Huang Xiaolong’s second test revealing a Mystic Dragon Saint Realm, yet during the Holy Platform battle, his Saint Form’s might suppressed Huang Zhouping’s Elephant Power Saint Realm to Jiang Wuji.

Jiang Tian expressed his doubts, "Old Master, with your wisdom, do you think the Holy Spirit Array might have made an error during the initial test?"

The family heads and sect leaders were also puzzled.

"The Holy Spirit Array at the Holy Sect Headquarters was personally arranged by Saint Zhuoyuan; it can’t be wrong," Jiang Wuji shook his head but then his expression changed suddenly, "During the Holy Platform battle, his Saint Form differed from the second test?! Could it be! But this is impossible, isn’t it?"
