Chapter 160 The Great Clan Vortex

After a long time.

The old woman asked about Lihua's situation in detail.

"The only one who came here that year was Jiang Riqing, the head of my Jiang family..."

"If I guessed correctly, you should be his descendant--"

The old woman's eyes were full of emotion, "I never thought I could meet you today, it's fate, fate..."

She kept stroking Lihua's head and said with a smile: "After finally meeting my Jiang bloodline, I have to stay here for a few days--"

In the next few days, she really stayed in the village.

The villagers were very happy to hear that she was Lihua's relative and elder, and the old woman was also very easy-going.

But Li An was keenly aware of something wrong.

Why didn't the old woman show her intention to take Lihua back to her family after seeing her?

Li An's heart became more and more solemn. He thought about it for a while and understood... The old woman was probably waiting!

Waiting for news.

This news was related to Lihua. "All the great families in the world are the same..." He could not help but remain silent. There was no such thing as blood-thicker-than-water kinship. Even in the immortal cultivation family, there were calculations everywhere. It seemed that the appearance of Lihua was a crucial variable for the Jiang family. So the top leaders needed to weigh it. If the appearance of Lihua was in line with the interests of the top leaders, then they could be welcomed back to the Jiang family. If not. Then Lihua might... disappear. This made Li An quite regretful. He had heard from the old woman that Lihua's identity should be extraordinary, so he brought her here, but he never thought that there was this point that he had not expected. Li An was ready to sacrifice two small swords at any time. Once the Jiang family had the intention to kill Lihua, they would definitely kill him as well. Even if Li An had saved the old woman's life, the old woman would kill him without hesitation to keep her silent! However, what makes Li An feel more at ease is that the old woman's strength is actually very little. If she makes a move, she will be attacked by the evil spirit.

On the contrary, Li An's evil spirit is just a disguise, and his strength is at its peak.

With two third-level small swords, plus his strength of foundation building, combined with the powerful physique of Jinzang Jue, killing a Zhendan who is almost powerless...

The chances of winning are very high.

Li An secretly sacrificed his flying sword and prepared to chop people...

Lihua was naive and did not notice the danger at all. Instead, she was deeply moved by the old woman's enthusiasm...

...

The next morning.

"Lihua, you are wandering outside, which is the family's fault. Don't worry, I will take you back to the family!" The old woman spoke enthusiastically, took out a second-level magic weapon from her body, handed it to Lihua, and said with a smile: "Please accept this thing, it is my gift to you. From now on, when you return to the family, no one will dare to bully you in the slightest!" Seeing this, Li An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put away the two third-level flying swords. If the old woman really wanted to kill people to silence them, there was no need to give Lihua another magic weapon. It seems that it is stable! Lihua was unfamiliar with the Jiang family, so she asked: "Auntie, will Master and Erniu go too?" Li An already knew that this old woman and Lihua's grandfather were cousins. Therefore, Lihua should call her auntie. "Of course." The old woman agreed with all her heart, and seemed very enthusiastic. It seemed that the joy of finding Lihua also diluted the sadness brought by the death of her grandson. Immediately, Lihua and Erniu packed up their things, and Li An and the other two followed the old woman to the Jiang family.

The Sijing Mountains are undulating and very long. If you follow the Sijing Mountains, you will reach the territory of Yan State.

The Sijing Mountains actually span the two countries, and the part of Yan State is called the Wanzhang Mountains.

It took Li An half a month to finally step out of Dali!

After leaving Dali, Li An felt that his breathing became smoother.

According to his speculation, Shangguan Shengxian's main target should be Dali at present, and Yan State is mostly peaceful.

Moreover, even if she wants to attack Yan State, she will target the upper royal family of Yan State, and Qingzhou belongs to the border, which she doesn't like.

It is safer.

In Qingzhou, Yan State, complete the Chongdan matter, and then you can be free!

At that time, it is also a good choice to directly escape from the entire Xiling Yuanzhou and practice in other continents.

"Go to the Jiang family to gain a foothold first, and then come back to get my elixir and treasures after a while..."

Li An had a plan in mind.

His top-grade Yuanling Pill is still in Baihu City, and his core treasures such as the third-level flying sword are hidden in the Sijing Mountains. He has to come back anyway.

...

Although the northern border of Dali borders Qingzhou of Yan State, the two places are very different. In Qingzhou, prosperity can be seen everywhere, far better than the northern border of Dali.

There are more cultivation forces in Qingzhou than in the northern border of Dali.

There are no less than five Dan formation forces such as Xu Ning Temple and Ming Dao Sect!

The beast-controlling Jiang family is even more famous, a Yuanying family!

The Jiang family is located in Xingluo Mountain, so it is also called "Xingluo Mountain Jiang Family".

The entire family is built on the mountain and occupies all the land veins.

Around Xingluo Mountain, there are four large cities, all of which are the territory of the Xingluo Mountain Jiang family. The four large cities are very lively, and each one is no less than Tianyang City!

This is the heritage and splendor of the Yuanying family.

But what surprised Li An was that the three of them did not enter the Jiang family directly, but were arranged to stay temporarily in a mansion in "Beixing City" at the foot of Xingluo Mountain.

"Lihua, the elders on the mountain are in retreat these days. Once they come out, they will come to see you. You can stay here for a few days. You can ask Ah Si for everything."

When the old woman left, she still stroked Lihua's head lovingly, showing the image of a great lady.

She assigned a foundation-building cultivator named "A Si" to be responsible for the food and daily life of Li An and the other two.

Lihua and Erniu were at a loss when they first entered such a luxurious place.

Li An was thinking about the intentions of the Jiang family.

"The crisis has not been resolved yet--"

He got the conclusion!

Especially, when he wanted to go out, Ah Si politely refused: "Ruihua Zhenren has instructed that Miss Lihua's whereabouts are a secret of the Jiang family. To protect Miss Lihua, please do not go out for the time being. If you need anything, Ah Si will definitely satisfy you!"

The old woman's name: Jiang Rihua.

A Si's actions made Li An more certain of this.

Before Lihua was officially recognized by the Jiang family, all variables could still happen.

Li An began to observe the surroundings and prepare to escape if something unexpected happened.

With his current cultivation, it would not be difficult to escape unless a true Dan master came!

...

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

That day, there was a lot of noise outside the mansion.

When Lihua, Li An and others walked out, they were all startled.

The ceremony was very grand. The three Jindan Zhenren were in the lead. The first one was a middle-aged man with a strong and restrained aura. Li An was shocked at the sight of him. This middle-aged man must have reached the Jindan Great Perfection!

Jiang Rihua stepped forward quickly and said:

"Reporting to the head of the family and all the elders, this is the direct descendant of the head of the Jiang Riqing family, Miss Lihua——"

The middle-aged man glanced at Lihua and waved his hand. An old man came forward to verify Lihua's bloodline.

It was passed without a doubt.

"Since she is my brother's direct descendant, according to the clan rules, she should be cultivated as a candidate seed."

The middle-aged man nodded, "Take her back and hold a ceremony to return to the clan."

...

That day, Lihua was welcomed back to the Jiang family in a very grand manner.

Li An also stepped onto Xingluo Mountain.

"Fourth-level spiritual vein!"

Standing on Xingluo Mountain, Li An felt the powerful foundation of the Jiang family.

At present, everything is going smoothly despite twists and turns.

As long as he can get the support of the Jiang family, it will not be difficult for him to break through the Jindan stage!

…

Next, the Jiang family held a grand ceremony for Lihua to return to the clan.

Although Erniu is very close to her, he is not of the Jiang family bloodline and has only become a disciple of the Jiang family.

After staying for a few days, Li An also roughly understood the situation of the Jiang family:

The Jiang family currently has two Yuanying powerhouses, but both of them are old and have been in seclusion. All major events in the clan are decided by the head of the family, Jiang Rilan.

In addition to Jiang Rilan, there are four Zhendan elders.

Jiang Ribai, Jiang Riping, Jiang Ridong, Jiang Rihua.

Among them, Jiang Rihua and Jiang Ribai are siblings.

And the previous period was a critical period for competing for the family's "candidate seeds".

Three candidates were selected for the candidate seeds, and the descendants of the head of the family, Jiang Rilan, naturally occupied one place, and the four Zhendan powerhouses could only compete for the remaining two.

Jiang Rihua's descendants died in the Sijing Mountains, and her brother Jiang Ribai's two descendants Jiang Ruochun and Jiang Ruoshi also lost in the competition.

When the overall situation was about to be decided, the old woman suddenly reported that she had found the direct descendants of the former head of the family Jiang Riqing-

This broke the pattern at once.

It means that one of the descendants of Jiang Riping or Jiang Ridong will be eliminated!

After a debate, Jiang Rilan finally made the decision to welcome Lihua, and the descendants of Jiang Ridong and Jiang Riping will compete again.

…

After sorting out these, Li An also understood everything.

To put it bluntly, the suddenly appearing Lihua became a pawn for the Zhendan elders to fight for power and profit!

Jiang Rihua has been waiting for the results of the competition of her brother Jiang Ribai's descendants.

If Jiang Ribai's descendants Jiang Ruochun and Jiang Ruoshi can enter the candidate seeds, then Lihua's existence may not be known to others and will disappear quietly!

Because it is impossible to add competitors to your own descendants.

However, Jiang Ribai's descendants failed and lost their seats among the candidate seeds.

Then bring in Lihua.

This is the conspiracy of Jiang Rihua and Jiang Ribai!

It is impossible for the head of the family, Jiang Rilan, not to support Lihua, because Jiang Rilan's descendants are the beneficiaries of this system, and Jiang Rilan must maintain this system.

Moreover, Jiang Riping and Jiang Ridong were forced to be eliminated, and the two would inevitably become enemies in the fight, and they would be divided.

Jiang Rihua welcomed Lihua back to the clan, which was a merit of welcoming her to the throne, and he could also use Lihua to continue to participate in the feast of power.

Kill three birds with one stone!

"The bigger the family, the more intrigues and whirlpools everywhere..."

Li An sighed, if he wanted to get to the stage of Dan in the Jiang family... he had to be cautious step by step.

"Mr. Wu Qin, the third elder invites you--"

At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

The third elder is Jiang Ribai.

Li An's heart trembled slightly, and he finally came.
