Chapter 339: A Third Power Emerges – The Jiang Dynasty
“Sir, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, I implore you to show mercy. We have some
unresolved grievances with these Ghost Demon Sacred Sect members that need addressing,” the
elderly woman pleaded hastily.
To her, the situation with Jiang HuanYu was nothing more than a case of mistaken identity—a
coincidental misunderstanding. Jiang HuanYu’s overwhelming strength, capable of crushing her at the
peak of the Immortal King Realm, clearly placed him at the Immortal Sovereign level. Such a
formidable figure was not someone she could a ord to provoke.
Her best option now was to smooth things over with him as quickly as possible and then deal with
Qian Xinrui and her group.
The three Immortal King elders, injured but determined, returned to Qian Xinrui’s side, creating a
tense stando .
Qian Xinrui regarded Jiang HuanYu warily, her heart heavy with uncertainty. His intentions remained
unclear, and his displayed strength left her without much confidence. Even with her trump card, she
doubted it could deal with someone who could so easily overpower a peak Immortal King.
The ruined hall fell silent, all eyes fixed on Jiang HuanYu.
Jiang HuanYu turned to glance at Qian Xinrui, his gaze lingering for a moment.
Beautiful!
Indeed, her beauty was mesmerizing. Jiang HuanYu couldn’t deny the feeling of awe she evoked—her
appearance transcended the mortal realm, an ethereal presence unmatched by anything he’d seen
before. Even compared to Xiao Qingli, her charm seemed slightly superior.
While she might seem like nothing more than a “vase” on the surface, Jiang HuanYu thought, who
wouldn’t be captivated waking up to such beauty every day?
But Qian Xinrui was more than just a pretty face. Her talent and intellect were equally extraordinary,
making her a peerless combination of beauty and brilliance.
This only strengthened Jiang HuanYu’s resolve. Such a remarkable woman couldn’t be allowed to slip
through his grasp.
“Fine,” Jiang HuanYu said, his tone laden with meaning. “Let’s resolve these grievances properly, then.”
As he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked. His palms unleashed a burst of concentrated immortal
energy, which surged into the elderly woman’s body, sealing all her physical and spiritual power.
“What are you doing?!” the elderly woman cried out, her face pale with shock. “The misunderstanding
has been resolved—why would you do this?”
Her immortal power now sealed, she was as helpless as a mortal, leaving both her and the Northern
Mountain Princess in dire straits.
Qian Xinrui and Guo Ming, equally bewildered, could only look on in shock.
“Misunderstanding?” Jiang HuanYu smirked. “No, no, no. There’s no misunderstanding between us.”
“This Tianqing City, including the Northern Mountain Prince’s Mansion, has long been on my radar,” he
continued with a confident smile. “I was planning to take my time and act discreetly, but you had the
audacity to capture my people. Since I’m already here, there’s no need to wait any longer.”
Jiang HuanYu’s finger shot out, a beam of light breaking through the barrier of immortal energy
protecting the Northern Mountain Princess. Jiang King, understanding his intentions, stepped forward
and subdued the princess.
“Let me go! Release me!” the princess struggled fiercely. “How dare you lay hands on me? If anything
happens to me, my father and mother will make sure you and your entire faction are utterly
annihilated!”
The elderly woman, hearing Jiang HuanYu’s words, realized his ambition. He intended to seize the
Northern Mountain Prince’s territory, placing himself in direct opposition to the Shengming Immortal
Dynasty.
“Who… who are you, exactly?” she demanded, her face grim. “State your name if you dare!”
Jiang HuanYu’s gaze remained cold and lofty. “I am Jiang HuanYu, ruler of the Jiang Dynasty.”
“The Jiang Dynasty?” the elderly woman echoed, puzzled. “What kind of power is that? When did such
a faction appear in the Qingyun Immortal Domain?”
Qian Xinrui furrowed her brow, her thoughts racing. Both Jiang HuanYu’s name and the Jiang Dynasty
were completely unfamiliar to her.
Jiang HuanYu anticipated their confusion but didn’t bother to elaborate. “You don’t need to know the
origins of my Jiang Dynasty,” he said dismissively. “Now, let’s get to the point.”
“You have two choices: surrender your souls and allow me to imprint them with my mark. From now
on, you will serve me unconditionally. Or you can choose death.”
“I’ll give you ten seconds to decide.”
Jiang HuanYu’s domineering words left no room for negotiation, and the countdown began.
Qian Xinrui remained silent, her deep gaze fixed on Jiang HuanYu, her thoughts unreadable.
“Before you force us to decide,” the elderly woman interjected hurriedly, “I advise you to first
understand the identity and background of the princess’s mother. Otherwise, you will regret it!”
“Oh?” Jiang HuanYu raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued.
“I can assure you,” the elderly woman continued, her tone gaining confidence, “no matter how
powerful or mysterious your Jiang Dynasty may be, it’s nothing in front of the princess’s mother!”
Jiang HuanYu listened calmly, sensing that the Northern Mountain Princess’s mother was indeed
someone extraordinary.
“Tell me, then,” he said, intrigued. “Who is she?”
“Have you heard of the Qin Clan of the Seven Nether Immortal Sea?” the elderly woman asked.
“The Qin Clan?” Jiang HuanYu shook his head. He had no knowledge of this name, though he was
vaguely aware of the Seven Nether Immortal Sea as one of the Five Great Immortal Seas.
“The Qin Clan is the most powerful faction in the Seven Nether Immortal Sea,” Qian Xinrui explained,
speaking for the first time. “They are an immortal clan of the Longevity level, their foundation
unfathomable. A force of such magnitude surpasses even the Qingyun Dao Sect at its peak.”
Jiang HuanYu glanced at her, his eyes meeting hers briefly before returning to the elderly woman.
The term “Longevity-level Immortal Clan” carried weight. It represented one of the most powerful
factions in the Immortal World, second only to the three supreme powers: the Chu Clan, the Tian Clan,
and the Divine Sect.
For a moment, Jiang HuanYu considered the implications. However, his resolve remained unshaken.
His ambition extended to unifying the entire Immortal World.
“Enough prattling,” J.HuanYu said coldly. “If you won’t tell me what I need to know, I’ll find out myself.”
His voice was calm yet firm, his patience clearly wearing thin. If the elderly woman continued to delay,
he wouldn’t hesitate to use soul-searching techniques, even against a peak Immortal King
