Chapter 853: Council in the Great Hall, Leng Yuehua’s Refusal

Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon stepping outside, Jiang Chengxuan was immediately greeted by the sight of Shen Ruyan.??????????????????????????????????? &

However, he quickly noticed a certain gravity etched across her face, signaling to him that something was amiss.

Without hesitation, he inquired:

“Wife, what has transpired?”

Shen Ruyan nodded slightly.

“Indeed, we’ve encountered some issues.

How was your cultivation journey? Have you achieved any significant breakthroughs?”

As she spoke, it seemed as if she remembered something urgent and added, “Let’s head over to Martial Aunt Leng first. We can discuss further on our way.” Seeing Shen Ruyan’s urgency solidified Jiang Chengxuan’s belief that serious matters must have unfolded during his seclusion period.

Otherwise, with his Dao companion’s personality, she would definitely not behave like this.

Without delay, the two made their way towards the council hall where Leng Yuehua resided.

On the way.

Jiang Chengxuan shared his cultivation achievements with Shen Ruyan, which brought a trace of joy to her face.

She was genuinely surprised to learn that not only had Jiang Chengxuan successfully refined a Level 7 Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasure, but he had also advanced his understanding of the Dao, stepping onto a higher level. This even led him to comprehend another divine power, the Hand of Reincarnation.

This was a huge surprise.

However, he soon learned from Shen Ruyan that the demonic cultivators were attacking Brightlight City.

Additionally, their own Celestial Heir City had dispatched cultivators, led by Ye Feihong and others, to assist Brightlight City.

The crux of the issue lay in recent events when Ye Feihong, gravely injured managed to escape back to Celestial Heir City, bringing with him dire news’ All those who went to aid Brightlight City, except for his severely wounded self had perished along the way.

This news struck like a bombshell, leaving the cultivators of Celestial Heir Citv in shock.????????????????????????????? 3

After all, Ye Feihong and his team were comprised of Void Returning cultivators, with the least among them being in the Dharma Form stage. Their unexpected demise raised many questions.

Eventually, they learned from Ye Feihong that the demonic cultivators had anticipated the assistance for Brightlight City and had set up an ambush en route.

What was more critical was that the enemy had deployed more than six Seethrough cultivators for the ambush, making it impossible for Ye Feihong and his team to prevail.

If it hadn’t been for the life-saving trump card Ye Hongfei fortuitously acquired in his earlier years, he too might have already fallen into the enemy’s ambush.

Now, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had arrived at the council hall where Martial Aunt Leng Yuehua was present.

Inside, the hall was already filled with many seated figures, each wearing a solemn expression on their face, including Leng Yuehua, whose visage was also less than cheerful.

Upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan enter, a slight smile finally graced Leng Yuehua’s face.

“Martial Nephew Jiang and Martial Niece Shen have arrived.”

“Greetings to Martial Aunt Leng.”

Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan bowed to Leng Yuehua, who nodded in response and gestured for them to take their seats.

Once seated, Leng Yuehua turned to those gathered and began,

“I believe everyone here is aware of the situation.

Now, let’s discuss how we should respond. Feel free to share your thoughts.” A moment of silence followed her words before someone finally spoke up. “Martial Aunt Leng, this seems to be a conspiracy by the demonic path against US.

If we continue to send cultivators, they might still fall into ambushes en route.

Unless we send a significantly larger force, which would then leave Celestial

Heir City vulnerable to potential threats from the demonic cultivators.”

This analysis seemed reasonable, and many nodded in agreement.

Then, another voice proposed a different strategy,

“Another approach is to send individuals whose power far surpasses the enemy.

In that case, their ambushes would not only be ineffective but might also lead

to our people counter-attacking successfully.”

At this, the speaker, along with several others, turned their gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, indicating that they were seen as the most suitable candidates for this mission.

Of course.

There was another option not mentioned- to do nothing and forcibly swallow the indignation of Ye Feihong and others’ defeat.

However, this option seemed to be subconsciously ignored by everyone.

Noticing the collective gaze, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a look.

Shen Ruyan spoke up, “Martial Aunt Leng, given the circumstances, perhaps it’s best if this matter is left to my husband and me.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuehua hesitated, sensing that she might be overlooking something important.

Therefore, she didn’t immediately respond to Shen Ruyan’s suggestion, instead pausing to mull over the matter with a thoughtful frown.

Suddenly, as if an important detail had dawned on her, Leng Yuehua’s eyes narrowed, and she decisively said to Shen Ruyan, “No, anyone but you two can go.”

“Huh… ?”

This abrupt refusal from Leng Yuehua caught everyone offguard, including

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who both looked puzzled.

At this moment, Leng Yuehua said, “Have you not considered that the true goal and motive of these demonic cultivators might not be Brightlight City, nor initially Martial Nephew Ye and the others?”

Her words momentarily silenced the room.

Before anyone could digest her remark, Leng Yuehua added,

“I suspect that their actual target might be you two, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Us two?”

As Leng Yuehua finished speaking, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could not help but frown.

The others present seemed to have realized something, and their expressions immediately changed.

Given the current situation, Leng Yuehua’s theory seemed increasingly likely. The strength of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was well-known, making it reasonable for the demonic cultivators to preemptively aim to remove such formidable opponents.

This, however, led to another question.

How did the demonic forces come to know of Jiang and Shen’s presence in Celestial Heir City?
