Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback.

He suddenly remembered the two demonic cultivators he met after leaving the Shen Immortal family.

Could it be that the two people back then were also in charge of killing the elders of the Shen Immortal family?

If that was the case, then it made sense why he was suddenly attacked.

“Yes, Elder Jiang. What’s wrong?”

Looking at Jiang Chengxuan’s abnormal reaction, Shen Ruyan asked in confusion.

Jiang Chengxuan did not hide anything and immediately told her about how he was attacked by two demonic cultivators after leaving the Shen Immortal family.

When Shen Ruyan heard that, her expression immediately changed.

“Elder Jiang, is what you said true?”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“Elder Ruyan, take a look at this.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan took out the sharp claw Dharma artifact that the burly man in black used back then.

Then, he took out some items from the tall and thin man’s storage bag.

“These are…?”

Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.

She reached out and picked up these items to check.

After a while, she took a deep breath and nodded.

“These are indeed things used by those demonic cultivators.

If I remember correctly, this claw Dharma artifact should be the artifact used by someone called Zhao Guishou.

As for these items…”

Shen Ruyan recalled for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.

“They should be used to refine some kind of evil spirit.

Coupled with your description of that person, I’m certain that it’s very likely a guy called Guo Xieling.

His famous Dharma artifacts are a low-grade Level 2 demonic saber and a flag that can summon evil spirits.”

At this point, Shen Ruyan seemed to have realized something and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan in surprise.

“Elder Jiang, did you just say that they both died at your hands?”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

In this matter, he felt that there was nothing to hide.

Especially at a moment like this.

However, in the end, he still added something.

“I was just lucky. If they were more careful, the outcome might have been different.”

He was not being humble.

The reason why Jiang Chengxuan could kill those two people was also very much related to their underestimation of the enemy at the beginning.

However, no matter what, the fact that he could kill a third and fourth level Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator proved his strength.

Although Shen Ruyan did not know the exact situation at that time, she could imagine the danger it contained. Hearing that, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said,

“Fortunately, Elder Jiang, you came back unscathed. Otherwise I…”

Shen Ruyan did not say the rest, but Jiang Chengxuan clearly felt a trace of coldness from her.

This made him slightly stunned, but at the same time, knowing that someone would avenge him if he was harmed, he felt warm.

After that, the two of them wasted no time. Soon, they headed to the main peak of Splendid Jade Mountain.

At this moment, several elders of the Shen Immortal family had already gathered here.

Among them were Xiong Wandao, Xu Qianhe, and Shen Changnian.

Their expressions were very solemn.

Clearly, what happened made these elders of the Shen Immortal family extremely angry.

At this moment, when they saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan coming over, they nodded at the two of them as a form of greeting.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were obviously not in the mood to exchange pleasantries. They found a place and sat down.

Not long after, Shen Daoming, the current head of the Shen family, flew over on a beam of light.

When he walked in, everyone saw that he was holding a bloody head in his hand. The eyes of the head were wide open, and it looked like he had died with his eyes open.

“This is…?”

Everyone couldn’t help but look shocked.

Shen Daoming glanced at everyone and said coldly,

“This head belongs to Chen Jiuxiao, a demonic cultivator at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He’s also one of the main culprits who attacked Thousand Willow Market this time.”

“It’s him!”

Hearing Shen Daoming’s words, everyone present immediately reacted.

At the same time, they were a little surprised.

They didn’t expect Chen Jiuxiao, a demonic cultivator at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, was actually killed by the head of the Shen Immortal family.

From the looks of it, the family head of the Shen Immortal family was probably not far from entering the Violet Palace Realm.

Shen Daoming casually threw Chen Jiuxiao’s head to the ground and said to everyone,

“In a while, I’ll use him to pay tribute to our fellow cultivators who died in this battle, as well as the 800,000 innocent mortals who were harmed by them.

Now, let’s discuss this matter and the subsequent arrangements.”

As he spoke, Shen Daoming’s gaze swept across everyone.

“To be honest, what happened to the Shen Immortal family this time is actually a revenge by those demonic cultivators.”

“Wait, what?”

Hearing Shen Daoming’s words, the people present could not help but look puzzled.

Obviously, they did not know what Shen Daoming meant by revenge.

Shen Daoming continued, “More than a hundred years ago, the current ancestor of the Shen Immortal family led the cultivators of the Shen Immortal family to destroy a stronghold of demonic cultivators.

In that incident, our ancestor killed a demonic cultivator at the Violet Palace Realm at that time and slaughtered dozens of demonic cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, because there were a few demonic cultivators who happened to be away, they managed to escape death.

What happened to the Shen Immortal family this time was done by those who survived back then.

Most importantly, one of them had even broken through to the Violet Palace Realm not long ago.

Fortunately, we set up an array in Thousand Willow Market. Otherwise, the losses of the Shen Immortal family would probably be far greater than this.”

After hearing Shen Daoming’s words, even Xiong Wandao, Xu Qianhe, and the experienced elders of the Shen Immortal family couldn’t help but look a little surprised.

Clearly, they did not know that there was actually such a reason behind this attack.

Jiang Chengxuan thought to himself that it was really a close call.

Fortunately, the ones who targeted him that day were only two demonic cultivators at the third or fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If two late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm demonic cultivators came after him, he would probably be in danger.

At this moment, Xiong Wandao and Xu Qianhe looked at Shen Daoming and could not help but ask, “Brother Daoming, I wonder how that demonic cultivator at the Violet Palace Realm is doing now?”
