Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert
Chapter 369 Ambush
Jiang Qiong and the young elder walked out of the mine quickly, with rage burning in their hearts.
He said goodbye to the young elder.
Then he summoned the magic sword and flew back to his family.
When he arrived at the family mansion, Jiang Qiong's mood became increasingly heavy.
At the gate of the mansion, several guards looked solemn, as if they had already sensed the coming of a storm.
Jiang Qiong stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Is the master here?"
"Yes, young master, please come in."
When the two guards saw Jiang Qiong coming, they all looked respectful and naturally made way for her, motioning for Jiang Qiong to go in.
Jiang Qiong quickly walked into the lobby. The head of the Jiang family was sitting in the main seat with a serious face. Around him were several family elders, all with solemn expressions.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qiong immediately stepped forward and reported in a hurried tone: "Master, the mine was attacked. The enemy claimed to be sent by the Wang family and intended to take revenge!"
Before he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. The Jiang family's head's face instantly turned gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"What did you say? Someone from the Wang family? Why would they attack my Jiang family?"
The deep voice of an elder nearby revealed suppressed anger.
"We encountered several monks in the mines. They cast powerful spells and caused heavy casualties."
"All the monks in the entire mine were destroyed."
Jiang Qiong continued: "I am worried that they will pose a greater threat to my family."
"Humph, the Wang family is really unwilling to give in. They actually dare to attack so blatantly."
An old man said coldly, with angry flames flashing in his eyes, and said coldly:
"The feud between our Jiang family and them has long been known to everyone. Their actions are simply ignoring our Jiang family!"
The head of the Jiang family raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. Although the Wang family is strong, we cannot act rashly."
"Send someone to investigate the truth first and confirm the enemy's identity before making a decision."
"Master, are we just going to let them run rampant?" another elder asked dissatisfiedly, with disdain in his tone.
"I understand how you feel, but this concerns the safety of the entire family."
The head of the Jiang family spoke slowly: "We must act cautiously and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of us."
Seeing the master's decisiveness, Jiang Qiong felt relieved and continued, "I am willing to lead the team to investigate personally and make sure to find out whether the Wang family is really behind this."
"Okay, since you have this intention, you will be in charge of this operation."
The head of the Jiang family nodded in agreement, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and then said: "But you must be careful and don't act rashly."
"Yes!" Jiang Qiong answered firmly, and secretly vowed in his heart to find out the truth and avenge his family.
"Also, mobilize the family's guards and prepare for defense. If the thieves attack again, we must have enough force to deal with them."
The head of the Jiang family continued to give orders, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Everyone responded in unison, and the atmosphere became more tense.
Jiang Qiong wondered in his heart, why would the Wang family attack the Jiang family at this time?
Is it because of the previous conflict of interest, or is there something else going on?
All kinds of doubts lingered in his mind, making him feel heavy.
"I will prepare immediately and make sure to find out the truth of the matter in the shortest possible time."
After Jiang Qiong finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, the head of the Jiang family suddenly called him: "Qiong'er, remember, no matter what happens, your own safety is always the first priority."
"Whatever the outcome, you have to make sure you're safe."
"I understand, Patriarch." Jiang Qiong turned around and nodded firmly.
Exit the main house.
Jiang Qiong, along with several family monks who were good at exploration, set out on the journey to the mine.
Walking out of the main house, the sunlight shone through the treetops onto Jiang Qiong, reflecting his determined expression.
The monks following behind him all had serious expressions.
These monks were all carefully selected by Jiang Qiong.
Among them, the one that Jiang Qiong valued the most was a cultivator named Jiang Hao.
He was in his early twenties, with a slender figure and handsome face. He was wearing a green Taoist robe and a black silk ribbon around his waist. He looked capable and neat, and his temperament revealed a sense of free and easy and confident.
In the family.
Jiang Hao is Jiang Qiong's good friend. He is good at swordsmanship, has a straightforward personality, and never drags his feet when encountering things.
Standing next to Jiang Hao was Jiang Wan, who was about 28 years old, with a beautiful face, skin as white as jade, and long black hair draped over her shoulders. She was elegant and refined.
She was wearing a white gauze dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind like a blooming white lotus.
Jiang Wan is the most outstanding female cultivator in the family. She is good at talismans and formations, and has a gentle temperament.
In addition to the above two.
Among the remaining two monks, there was one named Jiang Qiang, who was about thirty years old, with a burly build, a rough face, short hair, and a masculine aura.
He was wearing a heavy black armor, looking very majestic, with a huge axe hanging around his waist, giving people a strong sense of security.
Wang Qiang is the commander of the guards in the Jiang family. He has profound cultivation and a generous personality. He always takes protecting the family as his own responsibility.
The last one is his sister Jiang Qing, who is about 25 years old, with a slender figure, delicate features, and short black hair that makes her look capable and neat.
She was wearing a dark blue brocade dress, the close-fitting design made her figure more flexible.
Jiang Qing is good at martial arts and concealed weapons, has a calm personality and acts cautiously.
"Is everyone ready?" Jiang Qiong asked, turning around, with a hint of encouragement in her tone.
"We can set off at any time!" Jiang Hao was the first to respond.
"I'm at your service at any time!" Jiang Wan said with a smile.
"Get ready!" Wang Qiang's voice was like thunder, with overwhelming force.
"We must be careful and not take it lightly," Jiang Qing reminded, with a hint of caution in her tone.
Jiang Qiong nodded and left with everyone.
They headed towards the mine. Although the journey was not far, the tension in their hearts became increasingly stronger.
When they arrived at the mine, the sight before them made the others feel depressed.
The entrance to the mine was in ruins, the ground was in a mess, broken stones and residual spiritual fluctuations could be seen everywhere, as if it had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Everyone be careful, the situation seems to be more serious than we thought."
Jiang Hao whispered, looking around, alert for possible enemies.
"The atmosphere here is very chaotic. It seems that someone from the Wang family has indeed been here." Jiang Wan frowned and concentrated on sensing the changes in the spiritual power around her.
"Are the people in this family stupid?!"
"When our family was attacked before, do you really think it was our Jiang family who did it?"
"I'll go ahead and check it out." Jiang Hao volunteered, and in a flash, he quickly ran towards the depths of the mine. "I'll follow him." Jiang Qing followed closely behind, and her light figure disappeared into the shadow of the mine like a ghost.
"I'm here to protect you. If there is any unusual movement, notify me immediately." Jiang Qiang stood firm in his position, his eyes sharp, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and then walked towards the depths of the mine.
Not far away, Jiang Hao and Jiang Qing had already discovered several corpses. They were all monks from their mine, and there were still fluctuations of spiritual energy on their bodies.
The two men looked at each other, and both understood in their hearts that the Wang family's attack was much more brutal than they had imagined.
"Let me investigate the remaining spiritual fluctuations here."
Jiang Hao stepped forward and began to use his exploration technique. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently recited the Dao formula in his heart, and spiritual power slowly gathered in his body.
As the Dao formula was completed, a faint light flickered around his palms, as if a layer of transparent waves was spreading around him.
"I sensed some residual heat and frost energy."
Jiang Hao's voice was solemn as he spoke slowly, "From the perspective of the magic, it seems that it was done by a cultivator from the Wang family."
Jiang Qing was also observing carefully. Suddenly, her eyes locked on the wrist of a corpse and she exclaimed:
"Here is a fragment of a talisman!"
"Looking at the painting technique above, it is somewhat similar to that of a talisman master of the Wang family."
Jiang Qiong immediately moved closer and carefully examined the broken rune. The Wang family's emblem could be vaguely recognized on it.
He was shocked: "It seems that the Wang family was indeed involved in this attack. Not only did they send people, they also used special magic."
"We need to investigate further." Jiang Qiong said in a deep voice, already thinking about the next plan in his mind.
He turned to Jiang Wan, "Can you use your formation to track the source of this spiritual power?"
"Let me try." Jiang Wan nodded and began to set up the formation on the ground.
She took out a talisman and waved it gently. The talisman drew an arc in the air and then fell to the ground, instantly emitting a soft light.
"Everyone, keep quiet and focus on the fluctuations of spiritual energy."
Jiang Wan's voice was clear and firm. With her guidance, the surrounding spiritual energy began to gradually gather under the influence of the formation, forming a circle of light.
"This circle of light will lead us to the source of spiritual power."
Jiang Wan continued to explain, and as her mind moved, the circle of light began to expand, gradually forming a small vortex of spiritual power that absorbed the surrounding spiritual power.
Jiang Qiong and others held their breath and stared closely at the changes in the aperture.
After a moment, the center of the aperture began to flicker, and a blurry path gradually emerged, leading to the deeper part of the nearby forest.
"Let's go!" Jiang Qiong gave a decisive order and led everyone to move forward in the direction indicated by the aperture.
Along the way, they were very cautious, fearing that they might encounter hidden enemies.
As we went deeper into the mountains and forests, the air was filled with increasingly intense fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Jiang Qiong's tension grew.
The group passed through a narrow mountain path and finally came to a spacious underground cave. Faint light flickered on the surrounding rock walls, as bright as stars.
The scene inside the cave shocked Jiang Qiong. It was filled with various precious minerals and elixirs, and in the center was a huge stone table with several ancient books and some monks' clothes scattered on the table.
What shocked him even more was that there were several portraits hanging on the wall, which were of some elders of the Wang family, who were their targets.
"This is the source of spiritual power."
"Is the Wang family secretly plotting something here?"
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and she suddenly felt uneasy.
Their actions seemed to have been noticed by the Wang family, and a strong hostility filled the air around them.
“The atmosphere here is not right.”
Jiang Wan said in a low voice, with a hint of surprise and vigilance in her eyes.
She felt that the fluctuations of spiritual energy here were extremely strong, as if it was a gathering place for some powerful magic.
At this moment, Jiang Qiong suddenly felt a strange breath, and became alert. He immediately signaled everyone to stop.
All was quiet and silent, with only the sound of water dripping among the rocks to echo.
"Everyone, be careful."
Jiang Qiong reminded in a low voice and then began to explore the cave.
Just as he was walking, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, followed by a strong fluctuation of spiritual power.
"Go back!"
Jiang Qiong shouted, and everyone quickly retreated, looking nervously towards the source of the sound. Several figures gradually emerged from the depths of the cave. They were wearing black Taoist robes and looked aggressive, and it was obvious that they had been lying in ambush here for a long time.
"How dare the people from the Jiang family break in here!" said the leading cultivator from the Wang family coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"We are not here to fight you!"
Jiang Qiong thought secretly in his heart, trying to find a breakthrough, and said at the same time:
"We just want to know why you attacked our mines."
"Humph, you want to know the truth? You Jiang family are so self-righteous that you want to compete with our Wang family. Today, I will let you experience what despair means!"
The Wang family cultivator sneered, then waved his hand. The surrounding spiritual energy surged instantly, forming a powerful attack wave, attacking Jiang Qiong and the others.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
"Everyone, quickly take out your magic weapons and talismans to resist!"
Jiang Qiong shouted and immediately mobilized his spiritual power to prepare for the attack.
"I'll stop them!"
Jiang Hao shouted loudly and rushed forward quickly, with the sword in his hand flashing, heading towards the attack wave.
The sword light collided with spiritual power, making a deafening noise, and the surrounding rocks were shaking.
"Jiang Wan, quickly set up the formation!"
"Stop these people!"
Jiang Qiong gave orders loudly, knowing that only by using the formation could they resist the Wang family's attack.
"Understood!" Jiang Wan quickly took out the talisman and began to set up an array on the ground.
Her technique was skillful, and under her guidance, the talismans were quickly arranged into a formation, glowing with light, forming a defensive barrier.
"Jiang Qiang, protect Jiang Wan!"
Jiang Qiong roared, praying secretly in his heart that this formation could withstand the enemy's attack.
Upon seeing this, the Wang family cultivator sneered: "You little bastards actually want to use formations to fight against us? How naive!"
As he finished speaking, the Wang family monks began to mobilize their spiritual power, preparing to launch a stronger attack.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, realizing that time was running out and he had to complete the formation as soon as possible.
"Hurry! Speed up!" Jiang Qiong encouraged loudly, trying hard to resist the enemy's attack.
At this critical moment, Jiang Wan's formation was finally completed. It shone brightly and formed a solid barrier to block the Wang family's attack.
Jiang Qiong heaved a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced. (End of this chapter)
