Chapter 27

Returning to the Shen Immortal family

Jiang Chengxuan naturally did not know the answer.

Xiong Wandao clearly didn’t expect him to know the answer either.

Xiong Wandao replied, “As far as I know, the demon beast riot has been happening every other 200 hundred years for the last tens of thousands of years.

It might be even longer than that.

Most importantly, in this battle between us humans and demon beasts, we humans are actually at an absolute disadvantage.

I don’t know the exact situation, but as far as I know, the territory of our human race is almost a quarter less than thousands of years ago.

Think about it. With the demon beast riot happening continuously, how many resources can a Golden Core Immortal Sect like the Ganyang Sect accumulate?

If the Ganyang Sect is like this, the other Golden Core Immortal Sects are naturally not much better.

In this situation, it’s not that the upper sects like the Ganyang Sect and even the large Nascent Soul sects weren’t unwilling to provide us relief provisions, but they really couldn’t afford it.”

Xiong Wandao’s words made Jiang Chengxuan’s heart sink.

He did not expect that the situation in the entire human cultivation world would actually be so dangerous.

If this was true, how could he cultivate peacefully in the future?

Moreover, according to what he knew, their enemies seemed to be not only the demon beast riot, but also the demonic cultivators who existed all the time.

These guys cultivated mainly through plundering and killing.

They often practiced evil techniques and would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of mortals at the drop of a hat to complete a ritual.

It could be said that wherever they appeared, the mortals would suffer.

If not for the fact that righteous cultivators like them were stationed in mortal cities all year round, ordinary mortals would not be able to survive in this world.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

In this world, strength was the most important.

If you did not have strength, you would be cannon fodder and the target of plunder.

It was impossible for you to stay in one place and be aloof from worldly affairs.

Because even if you didn’t provoke others, others would provoke you.

As the saying went, when the nest is overturned, there will not be an intact egg.

If the human cultivators were defeated in the future or the demonic cultivators occupied the mainstream of the entire cultivation world, even if you were lucky enough to survive, you would definitely not have a good time.

Jiang Chengxuan had already made up his mind. When he returned this time, he would do his best to increase his strength at all costs.

The more he could increase, the better.

That way, when the demon beast riot broke out decades later, he would have more hope of survival.

After that, the two of them stopped talking about this serious topic and started to talk about something else.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning.

Three streaks of light suddenly flashed over from the distant sky.

When the light approached, the people who appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Xiong Wandao were Shen Ruyan, Xu Qianhe, and Shen Daofeng.

After the two sides greeted each other,

Shen Ruyan said, “Elder Xiong, next, Elder Xu will set up a mid-grade Level 2 defensive array here. From now on, my brother will be stationed here.

In the meantime, I’ll have to trouble you and my brother to cooperate with Elder Xu.

After the array is set up, you can return on your own.

As for Elder Jiang, I need to bring him back. He won’t be here for the time being.”

Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Xiong Wandao immediately smiled and nodded.

“No problem. Take Brother Jiang back. With me and the Daofeng here, nothing will happen.”

Shen Ruyan looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said,

“Elder Jiang, if there’s nothing else, let’s go back first.”

“Ok!”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded. Then, he turned to Xiong Wandao, Xu Qianhe, and cupped his fists at them.

“Brother Xiong, Elder Xu, and Elder Daofeng, take care.”

With that, Jiang Chengxuan left the Level 2 spiritual vein with Shen Ruyan.

On the way back, Shen Ruyan smiled at Jiang Chengxuan.

“Elder Jiang, it seems like you’ve been getting along well with Elder Xiong these days.”

“Not bad.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and changed the topic.

“By the way, Are there any results from the elders’ meeting?”

As a guest elder, Jiang Chengxuan was also qualified to participate in the elders’ meeting in the Shen Immortal family.

Therefore, Shen Ruyan didn’t hold back from telling him.

“There’s already a result. After Elder Xu sets up the mid-grade Level 2 defensive array, we’ll try to connect that place to Canyon City.

At that time, we will build a Level 2 cultivation city. That way, we can both protect the mortals and the spiritual vein.”

Indeed.

Even though they had discovered a Level 2 spiritual vein and a low-grade Level 2 spiritual root, Canyon City, which had tens of thousands of mortals, would definitely not be left unguarded.

It was inevitable that the two areas would merge.

Otherwise, if demonic cultivators attacked Canyon City, should the people on the Level 2 spiritual vein go out to help?

If they went out, who should be left behind to protect the spiritual vein?

Therefore.

The safest and most appropriate way was to connect the two places and set up a large Level 2 protective array.

If Jiang Chengxuan was the decision-maker, he would definitely make the same arrangement.

At this moment.

The two of them were about to reach the Shen Immortal family’s base.

Shen Ruyan suddenly said to Jiang Chengxuan, “Elder Jiang, our contribution points have been counted.

Including the reward of this mission, the Level 2 and Level 1 demon beasts we killed outside added up to about 8,000 family contribution points.

The mission itself is worth 1,400 contribution points. Because most of the materials obtained from killing those Level 1 demon beasts are already damaged, their contribution points were about 1,200.

The corpses of the other three Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes were worth about 3,000 contribution points.

As for the corpse of the Level 2 high-grade Black Mystic Python, it’s worth 2,400 contribution points.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but feel excited.

A total of 8,000 family contribution points was no doubt a huge number.

According to the distribution plan he and Shen Ruyan had agreed on beforehand, he would be able to get 4,000 family contribution points.

If exchanged for spirit stones, it was 4,000.

Having cultivated for well over a hundred years, Jiang Chengxuan had never obtained such a large amount of wealth in one go.

Moreover,

This was only the reward for killing those demon beasts. It did not include the reward for discovering a Level 2 spiritual root and a Level 2 spiritual vein.
