Chapter 270: The Significance of Ancient Origin City (2)

This could explain why so many late-stage Violet Palace cultivators were in charge of guarding this place at the same time.

Otherwise, once the demon beasts occupied this city,

As time passed, it was only a matter of time before they discovered the existence of the high-grade Level 4 spiritual vein here.

At that time, in order to ensure they wouldn’t lose the city, the many demon kings might kick off an even bigger beast riot.

There was another reason why they couldn’t let the demon beasts occupy this city, and it was also the most important reason. With this high-grade Level 4 spiritual vein, the demon beasts’ overall strength would definitely increase greatly. This would in return pose a great threat to the entire cultivation world of Liang Nation.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Chengxuan and the others had another question in mind.

That was since this place was so important, why the Golden Core cultivators of the two sects didn’t come personally to guard it?

As if having predicted this question, Hua Mengyou continued,

“The main reason why we were asked to guard this place and not the Golden Core elders is because they don’t want to alert the demon beasts.

It won’t appear too suspicious to assign a few Violet Palace cultivators to guard Ancient Origin City that has some strategic importance.

However, if there were Golden Core cultivators here, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the demon kings.

1 believe everyone can understand what I’m saying, right?”

“Yes.”

After hearing Hua Mengyou’s explanation, everyone present nodded.

This explanation made sense.

Letting six late-stage Violet Palace cultivators guard this city was indeed a rather safe arrangement.

This way, it would not attract too much attention from the demon kings, nor would there be any accidents because the power guarding this city was insufficient.

“Alright”

After that, Hua Mengyou said,

“I’ve already said everything that needs to be said.

Now, in order to ensure that the secrets of this place will not leak, 1 hope you can swear an oath.”

Hua Mengyou’s request was within everyone’s expectation.

After all, this matter was so huge that no mistakes were allowed to happen.

Jiang Chengxuan and the others could understand this.

Soon, the group of people made the oath in front of Hua Mengyou and Li Fei.

After a while.

Jiang Chengxuan said, “Fellow Daoist Hua, we just arrived here not long ago. We don’t know much about the situation in Ancient Origin City and the surrounding areas.

You’ve been here for a period of time. Why don’t you tell us in detail about the situation in and around Ancient Origin City?”

Hua Mengyou pondered for a moment before saying with a solemn expression,

“To be honest, before your arrival, the demon beasts had already launched an attack on Ancient Origin City once.”

“What? They’ve already attacked Ancient Origin City once?”

Everyone was shocked.

Hua Mengyou nodded.

“Not bad.

Fortunately, that attack was only to test the water. Although there were many demon beasts, no demon beasts above Level 2 appeared.

The Ancient Origin City was not threatened.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

If it was just a probing attack, it was nothing.

However, if it was an all-out attack, that would be a real problem.

After all, when it came to numbers, humans were far inferior to demon beats.

In the entire Ancient Origin City, they could gather a few thousand people at most while demon beasts could gather tens of thousands of demon beasts at any time.

Even if they had reached late-stage Violet Palace, in a protracted war with tens of thousands of demon beasts, they would also feel immense pressure.

At that time, it was hard to say how long the city-protecting array could last.

Ater being assigned the duties they had to carry out, they did not stay any longer and quickly left the meeting hall.

Outside, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were personally led by Hua Mengyou to their cave abode.

Bai Zixuan couldn’t help but frown as she watched Jiang Chengxuan and the others leave.

She looked at her elder brother and ancestor and said, “Seventh Granduncle, and elder brother, the Jiang family is just a newly-risen family. What right do they have to be on equal footing with our Bai family?”

Hearing Bai Zixuan’s words, Bai Mingshan and Bai Yuanchen could not help but exchange glances.

Then, Bai Yuanchen said, “Zixuan, what do you think of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan?”

“They?”

Bai Zixuan fell into a deep thought, then she said,

“They should be newly-advanced late-stage Violet Palace cultivators, right?

I didn’t feel much threat from them.

Why? Is there a problem with the couple?”

With that, she couldn’t help but look intently at her elder brother and Granduncle.

Bai Yuanchen shook his head and said, “You don’t feel any threat from them because the difference in strength between you and them is too great.

Just as ants don’t feel the threat of a tiger.”

“Uh…”

Bai Zixuan’s eyes widened.

“How is this possible?”

“Nothing’s impossible.”

Bai Yuanchen added with a solemn expression, “Seventh Granduncle and I sensed it very clearly just now. We felt an unprecedented pressure from Jiang Chengxuan and his wife.

Moreover…”

At this point, Bai Yuanchen could not help but take a deep breath before continuing,

“Jiang Chengxuan’s wife, Shen Ruyan, is at the ninth level of the Violet Palace.”

“What? Ninth level of the Violet Palace?”

Bai Zixuan’s face was instantly filled with shock.

One had to know that the Bai family’s ancestor, Bai Mingshan, who was called Seventh Granduncle, was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Violet Palace.

Moreover, he had stayed in this realm for a hundred years.

Shen Ruyan was still so young, but she was already at the ninth level of the Violet Palace.

At the thought of this, Bai Zixuan seemed to have thought of something. She couldn’t help but look at the two of them again and say,

“Brother, Seventh Granduncle, since Shen Ruyan is already at the ninth level of the Violet Palace, could her husband, Jiang Chengxuan, be…?”
