Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 66: The Wang Family
"Ok?"

Ji Chang's expression changed slightly.

"Chen Yinghu has come out of confinement?"

Ji Chang focused some of his energy on the peeping picture in his mind, and saw that Chen Yinghu, who was originally in seclusion in the Chen family's land, had come to the high platform in the square of the core area of ​​Cangyufang City.

The closing ceremony of the Monster Hunting Conference was grandly held here.

The setting sun shone through the clouds, casting a red glow on the square.

The square was crowded with people, with about a hundred cultivators. In addition to the Chen family's members, nearly half of the cultivators were the group of Chen family's priests who had just crossed the street.

Chen Qiantuo, the head of the Chen family, was standing on a high platform in the square at this time. His figure looked majestic and solemn under the sunlight.

He was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with complex and exquisite patterns, highlighting his lofty status in the Cangling Chen family.

Chen Qiantuo looked around at the people in the square. His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in every corner of the square.

"Everyone, the Monster Hunting Conference has come to a successful conclusion. On behalf of the Chen family, I would like to thank everyone for their participation and contribution."

"May our Jiaozhou Xiuxian world, our Cangyufang City, and our Chen family prosper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the square.

Ji Chang noticed that Chen Qianzhou, the head of Cangyufang City, was also on the platform.

He was also wearing a dark green robe. Although the patterns on it were not as complicated as Chen Qiantuo's, it was obviously much stronger than those of other cultivators in the Chen family.

Among all the cultivators in the picture, he is second only to Chen family's patriarch Chen Qiantuo and Chen family's young master Chen Yinghu.

As for the other Chen family monks on the platforms, judging from the styles of their clothes, they should all be high-ranking members of the Chen family.

"If all the cultivators of the Chen family died at this moment, wouldn't the Chen family be seriously injured?"

Ji Chang thought with some malice.

Just as Chen Qiantuo was still speaking some meaningless empty words.

Suddenly, several bright lights appeared in the sky. They streaked across the sky like meteors and rushed towards the square.

Ji Chang recognized that it was the spiritual light emitted by the cultivator when he was flying with his magic weapon.

These rays of light were extremely arrogant and domineering, without any concealment, and they rushed all the way from the north of the market town.

The cultivators in the market town could see it as long as they raised their heads slightly.

Such behavior completely disregards the regulations in the market town prohibiting flying magic tools.

In the Cangyu Market, in order to maintain order, all monks must walk and are not allowed to fly with magical instruments.

Moreover, the formation covering the Cangyufang City also has a prohibition against flying. Any cultivator who attempts to fly in the air will be attacked by the formation.

Therefore, openly flying a magical tool like this is undoubtedly a serious provocation to the regulations of the market town.

What is puzzling is that even though these rays of spiritual light flew across the sky above the market town so arrogantly, the formation covering the market town did not attack them.

These rays of light were extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, they had already crossed the sky over most of the city and arrived at the square in the core area.

Ji Chang had some guesses about the origins of these monks who wielded magical instruments.

He should be a cultivator from the Wang family of Jiaozhou.

According to past practice, after every monster hunting conference organized by a family in Jiaozhou ended, the monks from the Wang family of Jiaozhou would come to collect half of the harvest.

However, the last time a family in Jiaozhou organized a monster hunting conference was ten years ago.

At that time, Ji Chang had not yet entered the world of immortal cultivation, and he did not know that the cultivators of the Wang family were so arrogant and domineering. Ji Chang looked at the picture in his mind and saw that the spiritual light fell on the high platform and turned into several cultivators.

The leader was a handsome young man with a hint of childishness on his face, and he looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The clothes he wore were not gorgeous, just a simple apricot-yellow robe with some complicated patterns engraved on it. It should be a magic weapon.

A flying sword was floating beside him. The sword body was long and sharp, without a hilt or a guard, only the sword body and blade, which were flashing coldly under the reflection of the spiritual light.

Ji Chang couldn't help but feel a little upset when he saw this scene.

"Good young monk."

At this time, the head of the Chen family, Chen Qiantuo, looked at several cultivators who had just arrived, especially the young man in the lead. His expression changed slightly, and he obviously recognized the other party's identity.

The Chen family is a subsidiary family of the Wang family in Jiaozhou. As the head of the Chen family, Chen Qiantuo naturally knows something about the younger generation of cultivators in the Wang family.

The young monk in front of him was the rising star of the Wang family who had emerged in recent years.

Wang Changsheng, a monk of the eldest generation of the Wang family.

In addition, for the Chen family, Wang Changsheng is more special than other Wang family cultivators.

His grandmother was the daughter of the Chen family who was offered up decades ago.

Therefore, Wang Changsheng has a part of the Chen family blood.

Chen Qiantuo did not dare to neglect him, and immediately stepped forward, bowed to Wang Changsheng, and said respectfully: "It turns out that it is the master who has come to visit. I hope Chen will forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

His tone was full of respect and fear, and he was obviously concerned about the power of the Wang family.

Wang Changsheng smiled slightly, returned the greeting, and said, "Senior Chen, you are too polite. I came here on the orders of the patriarch to collect the spoils of this monster hunting conference."

His tone was calm, completely different from his arrogant and domineering behavior just now.

Chen Qiantuo's heart trembled when he heard this. He sighed secretly but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He turned around and took a few storage bags from the Chen family cultivator standing behind him, and handed them to Wang Changsheng with both hands.

"This is half of the harvest from this monster hunting competition. Please count it."

Wang Changsheng took the storage bag, handed it to the Wang family cultivator behind him, and counted it.

He did not show any tolerance towards the Chen family just because he had Chen family blood.

After a while, after the inventory was completed, Wang Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Senior Chen is indeed straightforward. In that case, I will not bother you any more."

After saying this, he looked around at the Chen family cultivators below the stage, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, he turned around and waved to the several Wang family monks behind him, signaling them to leave.

Chen Qiantuo looked at the backs of Wang Changsheng and others as they left, and a bitter feeling arose in his heart.

Although the harvest from this monster hunting conference was rich, half of it fell into the hands of the Wang family.

This was undoubtedly a heavy exploitation for the Chen family.

However, facing the strength of the Wang family and for the sake of his ancestor's plan, he had no choice but to endure it.

However, after this monster hunting conference, the Chen family managed to collect the materials needed to refine the Green Scale Gu.

Originally, there was still a shortfall, but the Chen family managed to gather the necessary Gu materials by increasing the number of offerings and asking those independent cultivators who became offerings to hand in all their harvests.
