Before returning to the sect, Yulian City sent a flying message back.
The general idea was that she met Jiang Xian, whom she had not seen for twenty years, outside, and invited her to come back as a guest. She asked the palace to prepare a banquet for the reception, and invited some friends to accompany her.
Obviously, this was to deliberately publicize the news of "Jiang Xian"'s appearance, hoping to reach Jiang Lan's ears.
When conveying these flying news, Yu Liancheng had no intention of going behind Fairy Luo's back, but instead let her know the contents of the flying news.
"Senior Sister Liancheng, has Jiang Xian died?" Fairy Luo asked.
Yu Liancheng nodded and sighed: "Jiang Xian has always been secretive and low-key, and very few people know her real information. But I am her good friend, and others don't know, but I know that she has probably died."
"Twenty years have passed since the last time I saw her. Since then, I have not seen her again. However, it is possible that she is trapped somewhere."
Fairy Luo was a little confused when she heard this.
Yu Liancheng said that she and Jiang Xian haven't seen each other for twenty years, so it shouldn't be wrong...
But the pink skull Jiang Xian told herself before that it took her a while to return to her current state.
Then, Jiang Xian must be lying.
The time it took for her body to die was at most twenty years, definitely not sixty years.
Her age should be in her forties, not more than fifty, otherwise Yu Liancheng would not let herself impersonate her.
The question is, why did she lie about the time?
Suddenly, Fairy Luo remembered the conversation between Lord Dongyu and Demon Sect Sa Yingxu, about what they said about intervening in Jiangshan Island.
So, is it Jiangshan Island…
"Senior Sister Yu, you know Jiangshan Island very well. I wonder how Jiangshan Island is doing right now?" Fairy Luo asked carefully.
Yu Huanhuan said while driving the spaceship: "What else can be done? Since the war twenty years ago, Jiangshan Island has been in decline, declining and impoverished, and now it is just surviving."
"It's a pity that the most powerful force in the Void Sea at that time was reduced to a third- and fourth-rate small sect overnight. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Lan is willing to join the Ziyuan Tianzong."
Fairy Luo sighed, but did not ask again. If she asked again, Yu Liancheng would suspect that she was not from this world.
But Fairy Luo understood why Jiang Xian lied about time.
Jiang Xian lied and said that her body had been dead for sixty years, which was actually a foreshadowing.
What this woman actually meant was that since her body had been dead for sixty years, of course she didn't know about the incident on Jiangshan Island twenty years ago.
Then, the promise she made to herself showed that she was sincere.
Otherwise, if you know that your family is poor, but you still say generous gifts and thank you, it will appear to be insufficient, lack of sincerity, and seem to be empty promises, and it will be difficult to win your trust.
To say that the physical body has been dead for sixty years can be said to be "no sin for those who don't know."
Then you can find an excuse to discount the thank you gift.
Saying "It turns out my family is already poor" is enough reason to pay less.
Fairy Luo was speechless when she thought of this. Jiang Xian's little thoughts were really well hidden.
"I'll let you get to know some people first. I've dealt with you before." Yu Liancheng played out images one by one to familiarize Fairy Luo.
………
The Ziyuan Tianzong's family palace is equally majestic and majestic. Although it is not as gorgeous as the real world, it is even more magnificent.
Yu Liancheng took Fairy Luo through the palace complex without any hindrance, and everyone she met along the way saluted her.
"Third Lady."
"Lord Liancheng."
The two of them came outside a main hall called "Yuheng Academy". Yu Liancheng pointed at the main hall and said: "Senior Sister Jiang, I am having a banquet here to welcome you. Some fellow Taoists also want to meet you."
Her voice was heard by many.
Suddenly many eyes looked like "Jiang Xian" wearing a mask.
"It's Jiang Xian, I happen to know this mask!" said a young man.
"Yes, I still remember this figure." Another man said.
The Yuheng Academy has long been filled with people, ranging from a thousand to eight hundred people. In addition to most of the people from the Ziyuan Tianzong, there are also some guests.
Although the Ziyuan Family Palace is a school palace, it is also a place where the sect’s young descendants entertain their friends.
As soon as Yu Liancheng and Luo Xianzi came in, everyone stood up.
"Junior sister Liancheng!"
"Third Lady!"
Many people greeted Yu Liancheng, and they were very warm and polite.
But no one paid any attention to "Jiang Xian".
The reason is very simple. Jiang Xian always liked to wear a mask and did not like to make friends. Few people saw her face, and even her specific bone age was difficult to determine.
More importantly, Jiangshan Island is now in such decline that it is even worse than a third-rate sect. I heard that the core disciples of the sect lack training resources.
Jiangshan Island offended the powerful Sea Clan, and no one wanted to take the initiative to have any contact with the people of Jiangshan Island.
Yu Liancheng waved his hand, and one of the women who looked like a retainer immediately shouted: "Jule!"
Suddenly, several rows of big bells on both sides of the hall sounded loudly together, and the harps, strings, and drums also started playing in unison, and the song they played turned out to be "The Return of Colorful Clouds."
At the same time, dozens of graceful women were dancing in the hall, and the singing bells on their bodies jingled in time with the music, which was very beautiful and sweet.
Fairy Luo was a little stunned. "The Return of the Colorful Clouds" is the music used by all the major forces in the real world to welcome distinguished guests. What kind of distinguished guest is she? Anyone who can be a distinguished guest of the Ziyuan Tianzong, even thinking about it, knows that she is not someone like her.
"This is my good friend Jiang Xian, she is back." Yu Liancheng said to everyone with a smile, "I am very happy that Senior Sister Jiang is back."
Everyone's eyes have been fixed on "Jiang Xian" for a long time, and they are all smiling and saying nothing, but these smiles have their own meanings, which are difficult to describe.
"Junior Sister Jiang, you are fine."
Everyone said perfunctorily, they were all doing it for Yu Liancheng's sake and didn't want to make Yu Liancheng look bad.
But a look of hatred came from not far away, it was his cousin Yu Lianlian who had been slapped by Yu Liancheng before.
Luo Xianzi clasped her fists and said calmly: "I've met fellow Taoists. I'm sorry that you are so slow to use it." Her attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, and her voice was distant. It was indeed Jiang Xian's style back then.
After saying this, she nodded to Yu Liancheng, meaning: I'm leaving.
Yu Liancheng immediately pretended to be angry and said: "Senior Sister Jiang, we finally meet, can't we have a drink with everyone?"
"Jiang Xian" shook his head and said: "No need, I am eager to return home. I want to go back to Jiangshan Island first. I will come back to see you when I go back."
This was of course the two's plan.
"Jiang Xian" is a fake after all, so she shouldn't stay in public for too long. According to the plan, she can leave after meeting her face in front of everyone.
This is also in line with Jiang Xian's character and temperament.
The reason why Jiang Xian was famous back then was because of her extremely unsociable and solitary character.
"I'll see you off." Yu Liancheng saw her out.
As soon as the two people left, many people started talking.
"Humph, Jiangshan Island is like that, why should she be proud? It's really unreasonable."
"She must have come to see Junior Sister Liancheng this time because of the autumn wind."
"Oh, I heard that Jiangshan Island is borrowing money to survive and is preparing to cede land in order to cultivate resources."
''So what if we don't cut it? They can't save Jiangshan Island anyway."
"If Jiang Lan knew that her sister was back, I wonder if she would show up."
Everyone's discussion was purely about taking pleasure in Jiangshan Island's misfortune.
Jiangshan Island was too powerful back then. As the number one power among the nine top sects, it not only overwhelmed thousands of sects, but also the other eight top sects all depended on its expression.
In fact, Jiangshan Island at that time should not belong to the nine major sects, but should be a higher level existence beyond the eight major sects.
Today, Jiangshan Island has become a fourth-rate force. Not only have all the top experts fallen, but the sect's resources have also been plundered, with only 10% of the tens of thousands of disciples left.
Although it is not completely destroyed, it is almost there.
Jiangshan Island paid such a huge price just to eliminate the Hai Clan. As a result, a mysterious Earth Immortal suddenly appeared among the Hai Clan and killed seven powerful Mahayana warriors on Jiangshan Island with one move!
The extremely powerful Jiangshan Island collapsed immediately.
This is the first time in the Void Sea World that a powerful Earth Immortal has been discovered in tens of thousands of years!
But twenty years have passed, and people still don’t know who the mysterious Earth Immortal who helped the Hai Clan is named and who he is.
That Lord Earth Immortal who was glimpsed... and never appeared again, has become a terrifying existence that dominates the world. Under the power of that person, the Sea Clan has become the number one force.
Suddenly a wild voice sounded: "Jiang Xian is a bitch! A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and she is still arrogant to this day! Humph, I will go to Qingji Tower sooner or later to take care of her business."
"Let me tell you, Jiang Xian is very beautiful. If she sells herself..."
When everyone took a look, who was it if it wasn't Yu Huanhuan?
Someone suddenly laughed and said: "If Jiang Xian is really forced to sell, then I will also take care of her business!"
"Don't talk nonsense and have some moral integrity. No matter how miserable she is, she is not worthy of being a concubine."
"That's not necessarily true. Are there still few women with extraordinary backgrounds and excellent qualifications in Ji Lou?"
…
Fairy Luo and Yu Liancheng are about to arrive at Jiangshan Island.
According to the plan, in order for Jiang Lan not to suspect, Fairy Luo must "return" to Jiangshan Island, or at least appear in front of everyone on Jiangshan Island.
This is consistent with common sense.
Then, someone will soon deliver the news to Jiang Lan: Your sister is back.
In this way, Jiang Lan will appear as soon as possible.
Fairy Luo could feel that Yu Liancheng wanted to see Jiang Lan and seemed to have deep feelings for Jiang Lan.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to resort to such measures. She probably had no choice.
Three days later, a towering mountain range suddenly rose from the ink-like sea. It was majestic and shocking.
This is the highest island in the Void Sea: Jiangshan Island!
…
Not far from Jiangshan, there are two islands occupied by third-level sects.
One sect is called Dry Poison Sect, and the other sect is called Ghost Arrow Sect.
As a close neighbor of the Jiangshan Sect on Jiangshan Island, they were originally subordinate sects of the Jiangshan Sect, and were two small sects among the many subordinate sects of the Jiangshan Sect.
At this time, in the main hall of the Dry Poison Sect, a man with half-step Tribulation Transcendence (quasi-sage) cultivation level said:
"Junior Brother Guku, go and tell those people from the Jiangshan Sect to offer one million spiritual jade within three days, and once a year from now on."
A dark and thin Dongxu (Wuxian) stood up and said grimly: "Brother, don't worry, I will make them obey."
The news quickly spread to the Ghost Arrow Sect not far away.
The leader of the Ghost Arrow Sect smiled and said: "Hey, the Kudu Sect has already sent people to the Jiangshan Sect to demand tribute. Of course our Ghost Arrow Sect cannot fall behind."
"Leng You, you go to Jiangshan Sect and tell me that you will pay tribute to our sect every year... one million spiritual jade. This year's tribute must arrive within three days."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The two former subordinates of the Jiangshan Sect unexpectedly unanimously demanded tribute from their former main sect.
It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
Hahaha.
The two sect masters felt an indescribable joy.
…
The main peak of Jiangshan Sect, the palaces that used to be magnificent, have mostly become ruins, with only a few remaining intact.
Inside the most complete side hall.
"It's not good! Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Min, people from the Dead Poison Sect and the Ghost Arrow Sect are here, asking to come in outside the mountain gate!" A disciple came in with an angry face to report.
Jiang Ye slapped the table and said angrily: "Why is it them again? They are really haunting!"
Jiang Min's face turned pale and he said, "Go and tell them that it is inconvenient for Jiang Shanzong to see them today and let them come next time."
Jiang Yan waved his hand and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "No, let them in. I want to see how arrogant they are."
Over the years, the two wealthy wolves of the Kudu Sect and the Ghost Arrow Sect have treated the Jiangshan Sect as a sheep to get whatever they want, extorting and humiliating them in every possible way.
"I've tolerated them for a long time, the worst I can do is fight!" Jiang Hui clenched her fists, her chest heaving with anger.
With the two schools of thought, there is absolutely no room for compromise.
Soon, four people from the Withered Poison Sect and the Ghost Arrow Sect walked in in a swaggering manner.
"What brings you here today?" Jiang Yan asked coldly. He could name a few people, and it seemed that they had been here many times.
Gu Ku looked at the table unscrupulously and said, "Look at Jiangshan Sect's banquet, it's really extravagant! Such fine wine and delicacies show that you are still very rich."
Leng You also smiled exaggeratedly and said: "It's rich! It's so damn rich! But it seems that Jiangshan Sect doesn't welcome us and doesn't invite us to sit down and drink."
He stared at everyone with his eyes like a poisonous snake, "Is this how you treat guests? You didn't even invite me to sit down. It seems that Jiangshan Sect doesn't want to hang out anymore."
Jiang Hui smiled brightly and said, "Jiangshan Sect's spiritual wine does not treat unkind guests. You two have something to talk about."
Jiangshan Sect’s spiritual wine does not treat unkind guests? The expressions on the faces of several visitors suddenly became ugly.
Guku's aura spread wantonly, "Since we are bad guests, I won't talk nonsense. From today on, Jiangshan Sect's tribute will be increased to two million, and it will be paid within three days."
Leng You also smiled evilly and said: "I originally planned to raise your tribute to one million, but since you can enjoy such a good banquet, it means you are very rich, so let's give it two million."
The conscience of heaven and earth, the wine and food served by Jiang Shanzong and others are actually very poor, they are all low-grade spiritual food and spiritual wine.
Jiang Yan didn't look angry at all, "There must be a reason for adding my sect's tribute, right?"
Reason? Both Gu Ku and Leng You laughed.
"Since you want a reason, I'll give you one. We are willing. Is this reason enough?" Gu Ku sneered.
