This way, Wuxiang Sect Leader naturally speaks with more confidence.
Your Zhou Family no longer has a Grandmaster Ancestor, but my Wuxiang Sect still has two!
The advantage is with his Wuxiang Sect!
Indeed, with the evidence laid out, and he inexplicably becoming a cripple, the Zhou Family Ancestor looked ashen and did not waste effort making futile arguments.
Moments later, a notice was directly issued by Wuxiang Sect...
Announcing to the Northern Territory, Grandmaster Zhou Family Ancestor actually attempted to kidnap Wuxiang Sect’s genius disciple; this evidence is irrefutable. If the Zhou Family dares to act recklessly again...
Wuxiang Sect will immediately visit!
As for the three instigators, Zhou Family Ancestors, Wuxiang Sect has no intention of returning them.
Not taking advantage to directly annihilate the Zhou Family without a Grandmaster Ancestor was already deemed a lenient action with no greater harm after discussion.
The Zhou Family Ancestors must certainly be dealt with.
...
At this moment, Jiang Lingyue had returned to her small courtyard residence.
However, the events that just occurred still lingered in her mind, feeling something wasn’t right.
After a while, unable to make sense of it, Jiang Lingyue shook her head helplessly.
Just then, as she sat in the courtyard, Jiang Lingyue suddenly felt a breeze blowing in...
Much like the breeze she felt when she was resting alone in the Alchemy Room earlier.
Instantly, Jiang Lingyue looked up suspiciously, gazing at the big tree outside the courtyard...
She saw the trees standing still, leaves unmoving, unlike the scenario of passing wind.
So... is the wind blowing into her courtyard alone??
"Has the wind gained intelligence, targeting me to blow?"
Jiang Lingyue was stunned, is this even possible?
"My lousy brother-in-law ignoring me is one thing, but now even the wind is bullying me." Growing increasingly irritated, Jiang Lingyue looked at the Communication Jade Token that hadn’t responded, fuming.
Strangely, just after saying this, the Communication Jade Token suddenly became active.
Jiang Lingyue immediately checked...
[Grumbling about me like that isn’t a good habit.]
Seeing who sent the message, Jiang Lingyue’s starry eyes widened instantly.
"How does he... how does he know I’m grumbling about him?!"
It’s scary!
He’s not even nearby, how does he know?!
[Brother-in-law... how do you know? That’s so magical!]
Elsewhere, Lu Ye saw this message, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
[If I say it’s a special sensing, would you believe it?]
Special sensing...
Seeing this, Jiang Lingyue’s face suddenly turned slightly red, is it that kind of telepathic sensing?
Brother-in-law’s words are so sweet!
[I believe, I definitely believe, brother-in-law, I believe everything you say.]
Feeling happy inside, at this moment, she heard a voice from behind suddenly lowering...
"As long as you believe, then we can proceed, so why don’t you turn around and see."
This voice was undeniably familiar to Jiang Lingyue.
So upon hearing it, she froze on the spot, the initial smile on her face gradually solidifying.
The next thing that followed was her breath becoming increasingly rapid...
With a hint of disbelief, Jiang Lingyue slowly turned her head, indeed seeing that figure she hadn’t seen in months standing in the courtyard.
Just like when they last parted, looking at her with a slightly amused gaze.
"You... you..."
Seeing the brother-in-law who hadn’t actively visited Wuxiang Sect before now suddenly appearing quietly inside the sect.
An overwhelming joy surged in Jiang Lingyue’s heart.
The next moment, without hesitation, Jiang Lingyue rushed towards Lu Ye, standing on tiptoe to kiss him...
At this moment, there simply wasn’t time to say anything else; Jiang Lingyue solely wanted to vent all the excitement and joy she felt inside.
...
Meanwhile, with the announcement from Wuxiang Sect disseminated, it quickly spread throughout the Northern Territory.
After all, this was an eye-catching explosive incident!
Whether it was Wuxiang Sect’s recent announcement of a new Tier Five Alchemy Master or Grandmaster Zhou Family...
Both were enough to quickly pique the interest of passersby.
And when combined, it exploded into such an astounding and incredible event, instantly stirring up the Northern Territory as expected.
"This Grandmaster Zhou Family acted so boldly? Trying to capture and control Wuxiang Sect’s newly emerged Tier Five Alchemy Master? If it weren’t for ironclad evidence like Memory Stone and Sound Recording Jade, I really wouldn’t believe it!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Only if successful, it would be a no-lose deal; failing means being universally condemned now."
"Not only condemned, according to insider exclusive news I got from distant relatives, the Zhou Family Ancestor and their genius Zhou Lan... have already been crippled by a mysterious person!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone discussing in the tavern paused.
Zhou Family Ancestor... Grandmaster Fifth Layer expert, has been crippled?!
"But, what kind of strength does Zhou Family Ancestor have? How could anyone within Wuxiang Sect possibly have the ability to cripple him? Where did you all hear this from?" Someone immediately questioned.
Crippling a cultivator is equivalent to capturing them alive, to proceed with other measures.
And capturing a Grandmaster Fifth Layer requires superior strength!
But the person who shared the news remained calm: "I didn’t say the expert who crippled Zhou Family Ancestor is from Wuxiang Sect, only that it was a mysterious person."
Not from Wuxiang Sect?
Hearing this, many people in the tavern were puzzled.
Meanwhile, inside Wuxiang Sect, this news also stirred countless disciples.
But many disciples were curious, yet due to their average relationship with Jiang Lingyue, they dared not seek her out for details.
However, one person was the exception, naturally Yu Yu.
As the best connected senior sister with Jiang Lingyue within the sect, Yu Yu was extremely surprised upon hearing this news.
"Zhou Family Ancestor, actually attempted to capture Junior Sister Lingyue...? Such thing happened?!"
"No way, I have to find out from Junior Sister Jiang what’s really going on."
Immediately, Yu Yu left her residence, heading for Jiang Lingyue’s place.
She wasn’t too far from Jiang Lingyue’s residence, quickly reaching Junior Sister Jiang’s courtyard.
But...
As soon as she approached Junior Sister Lingyue’s courtyard, with her sharp senses, Yu Yu immediately heard a startled cry from inside...
It was Junior Sister Jiang’s!
