The Jiang family once had great power in the government and the public, and there were many officials, especially those from the branch family. People from the Jiang family's branch family were in office all over the states, prefectures, counties, and counties.
However, the court's rules were flawed. If the royal family wanted to appoint a certain official, even if the official had extraordinary cultivation, he would be no different from an ordinary person. Therefore, after the main family moved overseas, most of the people who separated from the family resigned from their official positions. Go, you can still see a group of former officials in the branch houses who have no real ability but no real ability.
As the holders of the Earthly Dao Fruit, they left their own divine realm and lost all their cultivation. The divine realm, which is the place they govern, has been appointed by the imperial court with new officials. Unless one day they can kill the new officials and return. The original position, otherwise, it is impossible to restore it.
But there are also some people who did not choose to resign, but upheld their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and stayed at their posts. In other words - they betrayed.
These people still serve as court officials, and Jiang Zhaoyi, the current governor of Fufeng County, is one of them.
This is considered a category.
There are also people whose families are separated, who still miss the main family, run around for the main family, and always think about welcoming the main family back.
This is also considered a category.
This type of people used to make up the majority, and people who worshiped the Jiang family of the Dinghu Sect all belonged to this category. However, due to the departure of the main family, each branch family suffered a blow, especially this type of branch family. After being severely beaten, many branch families recognized the reality, and some even chose to change their surnames and live in seclusion. They are now only in the minority.
The rest can be divided into two categories, one is those who live together as a group and just want to continue; the other is those who keep their strength relatively intact and want to annex other branch families.
The second to last category are Jiang Li's invisible allies. Once they are sure that Jiang Li is really good, they will follow him.
The last category, in fact, should be said to be one family, Yongzhou Qishanjiang, the 56th branch of the family, has lived in Yongzhou for generations, guarding the ancestral land. This lineage can take root in Yongzhou, which is rich in rebel thieves, and its strength is very good. Because of the complicated situation in Yongzhou, this lineage has retained a lot of strength without losing too much.
The scum that Jiang Yang was talking about was this family. In the past two years, they had been busy annexing other branch families.
"The Qishan branch family wanted to annex the family just because they had a fifth-grade person. I think this family is blocking the news." Jiang Yang said angrily.
"Fifth grade?" Jiang Li muttered.
Even though there are many powerful people in the sect, there are six in the fourth grade alone, but if it were to be put to the world, the seventh and sixth grades would be the mainstream. Even if you count the older generation, people who have been around for a lifetime, the seventh and sixth grades Level 6 is still the mainstream.
As for the fifth grade, there are countless Dao Fruits above the fifth grade. According to the ancient records of the sect, from the fifth grade to the first grade, the total number of all Dao Fruits is only three thousand. In other words, even the weakest Rank five, that would rank third thousand among the countless creatures in the world.
The Qishan branch has a fifth rank, which is considered to be the top among the current Jiang branch.
"I remember Qishan is in Fufeng County, right?" Jiang Li asked.
"Of course it is in Fufeng County, not far from Jiangshui," Gongsun Qingyue said. "When the Jiang family came out of their ancestral home, it was in Qishan that they formed an alliance with the Ji family."
"That's just right." Jiang Li laughed.

The carriage continued along the official road, and after running for about twenty miles, they saw numerous peaks and ravines. Among the mountains, a small but prosperous county town stood.
Even in the midst of a drought, Qishan County is still prosperous. A long river named "Seven Stars" passes through the county and has become the source of survival for surrounding villages and towns. It can be said that there are so many people in the county that it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to move.
Jiang Li quietly got out of the carriage. His red robe should have been the most eye-catching color, but no one was paying attention at this moment. He walked through the crowd like a ghost and headed towards the residence of the Jiang family in Qishan.
There is no need to ask others, just follow the hot wind and find the coolest place in the city. That is where the Qishan Jiang family is.
Jiang Li arrived at the door of Jiang Mansion without taking any detours.
The scorching heat of summer quietly weakened as we approached the mansion, and the cool feeling seemed as if it was still before summer.
Drought is a major difficulty for ordinary people, but it is just a trivial matter for aristocratic families. With practitioners and various Taoist abilities, there is no need to worry too much whether it is the temperature of the house or the harvest of the fields.
At the gate of Jiang Mansion, six big-bodied servants were guarding the door. Judging from their strong energy, they were all accomplished martial artists. The leader's energy had exceeded the limit of ordinary people, and he was a ninth-level practitioner.
By.
I just don’t know what path and fruit this practitioner tolerates.
Jiang Li glanced at the leading servant and suddenly passed through the door like a phantom.
His figure turned and changed several times, inserting into the weak point of the six people's vision. He clearly passed by them, but to these six people, it was just like a wisp of breeze blowing by, and even brought them the slightest trace of...
cool.
Entering from the gate, you can see servants patrolling everywhere in the mansion. Their steps are neat and well-trained, and you can tell at a glance that they have been prepared to guard against foreign enemies.
However, we can only be wary of casual practitioners.
Jiang Li walked silently through the mansion, like an invisible ghost, without disturbing anyone. Mysterious patterns appeared in his eyes, and he discerned the energy and looked for the place where the strongest aura was in the mansion.
After twists and turns, Jiang Li came to the side of the main house of the back house. His eyes fell on the roof, and his eyes reflected a red aura and a faint aura of anger.
Fire and wood exercises are the mainstream of the Jiang family, especially the branch families, who basically practice the two exercises. On the contrary, the main family, due to the innate plasticity of Qi, is like a hundred flowers blooming, with various attributes.
There are all the techniques.
It's just that the fire in front of me is a bit too weak.
'Not the fifth grade?'
Jiang Li frowned slightly.
This is already the strongest aura he has found, but this aura only reaches the seventh level, not even the sixth level, let alone the fifth level.
Jiang Li's original plan was to find the fifth grade, directly activate the killing move left by Elder Tianxuan, and give him a shot of justice from the sky to completely eliminate this stumbling block. Although this is suspected of overkill and a waste of a trump card.
, but this is the simplest and most direct way to break the situation.
Apart from your support, let’s see what else you can do.
Since we are going to take action, we must use the power of plowing the court to clear out the hole, rather than waiting until the end before being forced to commit the killing move.
As a result, Wupin of the Qishan Jiang family was not at home.
'You're in bad luck.'
Jiang Li's eyes became cold, and he took steps towards the main house as if his whole figure was floating.
Since the fifth grade is not there, and there is no sixth grade, there is no need to worry too much, just kill all the seventh grade you see.
You can't get rid of your reliance, but it doesn't hurt to get rid of your pillars.
