Chapter 4051: There's Another One

the final say in choosing who enters the Land of Inheritance belongs not to the Sect Master, nor to the Elders, but to every single disciple of Yaoshénzong!Only those who gain the approval of most dis...Although this area is now populated by over 80,000 demon cultivator, it is eerily silent at this moment.

Every person's gaze was fixed on the corpses of the Su Dingqian brothers lying on the ground, their faces displaying a complex range of emotions.

Su Dingqian, a powerful being of the quasi-emperor level, to put it mildly, is truly a formidable existence, second only to an emperor and above millions.

Originally, he could continue to be their chieftain and lead the Huai clan, maintaining their position as the leader of the Twelve Clans.

But he chose to betray the Mirage Tribe, resulting in him becoming a corpse in less than an hour.

This was a huge shock for everyone.

Even Jiang Haochu is no exception!

Jiang Haochu's palm gently caressed the black twig in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and stood there motionless.

Although Ginger Yun felt relieved now, understanding that today's events were all a trap set by Ginger Haochu, witnessing Su Dingqian killing his own brother and then acting recklessly left him with mixed feelings.

A would-be emperor, because of the desires in his heart, fell to such a state.

After a long time, Jiang Haochu finally opened his eyes and suddenly threw the black branch in his hand to Yu YuanKui: "Old Yu, you handle the rest!"

"Ensure Su Dingqian's brothers are laid to rest properly."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Haochu had already turned and taken a light step forward, vanishing without a trace.

Having received the branch from Yu Yuan, Yu Zhixin felt truly overjoyed. He understood that his previous actions of wholeheartedly protecting the Mirage Clan had been noticed by Jiang Haochu, which was why he had entrusted the remaining tasks to him.

Of course, this also represents Jiang Haochu's immense trust in himself!

Yuan Kui said, "Come to think of it, we have to thank Shan Mang for all this!"

He's truly my lucky charm! I must make sure to get on his good side from now on!"

I'm afraid even Ginger Cloud didn't expect that Yu Yuan Kui would split the credit he had earned in half and give it to himself.

"Okay, that's it!"

Jiang Ming extended his hand and dissipated the light curtain in front of him. He turned to look at Shen Lao Dao: "Shen Lao, haven't you always been very curious about our Jiang Village!"

Today, I will satisfy your curiosity and invite you to visit Ginger Village!

Shèn Lǎo always remained stoic, only nodding his head and saying, "Good!"

Ginger Ming smiled slightly, walked to Ginger Yun's side and said, "Yunwaizi, the play is over, let's go home!"

Ginger knew very well that the twelve demon clans' act was over, but within the Mirage Clan, there was still a play about Old Mirage, and it was probably going to be performed in Ginger Village.

As expected, when Ginger Cloud returned to Ginger Village, she saw the figure of Ginger Hao on the small square in the village!

Jiang Hao initially sat on the ground quite casually, hands propping him up behind him, looking up at the sky with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Except for Jiang Haochu, no one else from Jiang Village was there. It seems they deliberately avoided it.

And seeing Jiang Haochu's appearance at this moment, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

Because, Ginger Hao apparently came to Ginger Village often, and even sat at this position frequently.

Jiangcun was built by Jiang Ming and others who had experienced the Sea of Mountains and Rivers. It is a place where they placed their memories of those sixteen years.

Kai Ge, the initial leader of the Mirage Clan, had no connection to the Shan Hai world, yet he frequently visited Ginger Village. This is rather intriguing.

Jiang Yun walked up to Jiang Haochu and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Chief!"

Jiang Haochu retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at Jiang Yun, lifting his chin and pointing to the opposite side: "Sit down!"

Ginger Cloud sat across from Ginger Haochu.

Shèn Lǎo bowed slightly to Jiāng Hào Chū and said, "Clan Leader, I'm back."

After he was done speaking, he walked toward Jiang Haochu's back.

However, Jiang Ming suddenly reached out and stopped him, saying: "Lao Shen, since this is your first time in Jiang Village, I'll take you for a stroll!"

Shén Lao's face changed slightly, and he looked at the expressionless Jiang Haochu. He could only helplessly nod and say, "Alright!"

Thus, Shen Lao followed behind Jiang Ming, walking towards the depths of Jiang Village.

Ginger Cloud, seeing all this, naturally understood that Ginger Hao had something he wanted to tell her privately.

While Shen Lao, although Jiang Yun had never heard of him before today, from Shen Lao's attitude towards Jiang Haochu, it is not difficult to guess that he should have been with Jiang Haochu for many years, similar to a housekeeper and bodyguard, a person trusted by Jiang Haochu.

But now, Jiang Haochu ignores him completely, as if he doesn't exist. His attitude has changed dramatically.

Could this change be because of Lao Shen urging me to enter the restricted area

At this time, still maintaining his sitting posture unchanged, Jiang Haochu smiled at Jiang Yun and said, "Do you understand everything that happened today"

Ginger Cloud also temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart and nodded. "I understand roughly, but there are still some things I don't understand."

Jiang Haochu smiled even wider and said, "Don't you feel a little resentful towards me I didn't tell you anything beforehand, and I kind of took advantage of you."

Jiang Yun also smiled and said, "Chief, you're too kind. I'm not that petty of a person."

"Even, the chief could appear in time and block that palm strike for me. I was very happy."

Jiang Haochu asked, puzzled, "Why are you happy"

At least the chief didn't treat me as a complete outsider!

"Haha!" Jiang Haochu burst out laughing. "I wouldn't treat you like an outsider, but I do want to see where the Mirage Clan stands in your heart."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "The chieftain should be able to see it now!"

Jiang Hao sat upright and said, "Of course I could tell."

"So, I've decided to tell you some things."

Ginger nodded and said, "Listen attentively."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Haochu continued, "There's quite a bit to say, so I'll start with what happened today!"

You should understand the situation the Mirage Clan is facing now. It's like walking on thin ice, with danger lurking everywhere!

As I just told Su Dingqian, ever since the Mirage Clan established itself in Sijingsang, we have been making all sorts of preparations to cope with any situation that may arise.

Before our Ancestor left, we discovered that of the twelve clans under the control of the Mirage Clan, some were showing signs of unrest.

"I presume you understand that sometimes, internal strife is more fearsome than external threats."

I do not want, when we face the enemy, that the people I trust most will turn against me.

To put it simply, out of the twelve clans, there are only two that I can be certain will never betray me.

Jiang Yun chimed in, "Aren't those the clans of the two quasi-emperor powerhouses who rose from death"

"Not bad!" Jiang Haochu nodded. "Therefore, the two quasi-emperors had already faked their deaths a hundred years ago."

And through these years of investigation, I have discovered that nearly half the groups, such as the Huai Clan and the Fish Dragon Clan, have undergone some changes.

"But they really were hiding too well, and I couldn't find any solid evidence."

"I wouldn't just act against them based on my own suspicions. So, I'm going to use the opportunity of helping Yue Rou choose a partner to host a banquet."

At the banquet, I will give those who wish to betray my Hai Clan and devour my Hai Clan a chance to make their move.

"Originally, today's events, in my opinion, were just a childish squabble between your children. I didn't think it would escalate to this point."

But your strength, and the appearance of Yuan Kui, made me change my mind. I decided to take this opportunity to test them.

That's why I let you kill Su Huai'an, allowing for my staged death and Su Dingqian's involvement.

All in all, I am satisfied with today's results, but there is still a tinge of regret.

Jiang Yunxin, having understood the Dao of Divine Meeting, said: "No bigger fish were caught!"

By the time the twelve clan chiefs left the tavern, Jiang Haochu had already learned who had betrayed the Shen Clan.

Then, he would appear and solve Su Dingqian's problems.

But instead of appearing, he mobilized 80,000 cultivators from four clans. He staged a false show and surrounded Su Dingqian.

The purpose is to drive Su Dingqian into a desperate situation, thus forcing out the emperor behind him!

Jian Hao initially gave Jian Yun a thumbs-up and said, "Smart!"

Then Ginger Cloud continued, "But what if the Emperor really came"further at that time.And now, the powerful force surging within his soul suddenly made him understand that his feelings were right.The Nightmare Beast, as expected, left a trace of its divine consciou...
