Chapter 1431
In the past two years, especially recently, Jiang Ruyi has had a bad feeling. Her innate good fortune has slowly dissipated, and her lucky streak is not as strong anymore.
Trying to use a jade pendant to absorb someone else's luck is already very difficult.
However, in the past two years, they have also developed a technique that can absorb other people's luck, but it is not as powerful as the jade pendant.
She can't absorb energy from people with stronger luck than her, nor can she absorb energy from people with stronger cultivation.
When news came from the city, it was reported that a male member of the Jiang family had returned, carrying the token to collect the money.
Of course, those who killed the Jiang family found some storage bags among the corpses, found the storeroom in their house, looted all these things, and then several families collected them.
They just couldn't find the family's keepsake. They knew about the money exchange, where the Jiang family had deposited a sum of money and supplies.
It was originally a secret, but this money exchange was owned by the Xie family.
Jiang Ruyi wanted to take out those items, but learned that without the token, the Xie family could not take them out.
Regardless of their reputation in business, these are some of the features they designed to protect the property of each customer.
Jiang Ruyi returned as soon as she heard the news, and Xie Jincheng, upon learning of Jiang Ruyi's hasty return journey, followed her.
Jiang Ruyi's first stop on her return journey was naturally the Jiang family mansion, where they had originally intended to refine the ghosts of these people.
Jiang Ruyi later changed her mind; this was a case of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, or fishing for prey.
When they discovered that Jiang Congtang was not among the bodies, there were other people inside.
A reward order was issued, also within the organization, but anonymously.
However, that order has not yet been fulfilled.
Perhaps they could search for names they knew in the cultivation world; there were too many people with the same name, and they would also need to match the facial features with the portrait.
After Jiang escaped from Tang, he was disguised and raised to be thin and small. Perhaps no one would have thought that they would go to the mortal world.
Many people are looking for it in the world of cultivation.
Jiang entered the Lingxian Sect from Tang's small mountain village. He was such a nobody that no one paid any attention to him.
His low profile back then was the right thing to do. Without any special abilities, his past life should have returned many years later, but he was too weak and was killed instead.
This was also a wish for revenge, which is why he received the God's blessing, which allowed him to be reborn and given him a cheat code.
"Nobody's here. Could there be a mistake in the information?"
Xie Jincheng was unaware of Jiang Ruyi's existence, and even after receiving the news, he had not yet contacted the family's money exchange.
Following Jiang Ruyi, they arrived at the Jiang family's residence.
Jiang Ruyi explained, half-truthfully, that she had rushed back because a member of the Jiang family who had slipped through the net had returned.
"Look closely, the ghosts we trapped here are no longer here."
"You mean, those who escaped came back, got the money, and rescued the souls here? What's the use of rescuing the souls? Do they have a secret manual for soul cultivation? Even if they had a secret manual for soul cultivation, they would also need elixirs for soul cultivation. How could those who escaped have such things?"
Xie Jincheng is an interrogative sentence.
“Brother Jin, I have a bad feeling. For the past year or two, I’ve had a bad feeling, and today it’s been confirmed. This bad feeling comes from the Jiang family, who are worried about our family.”
Jiang Ruyi spoke in a half-truthful manner, never revealing the secret of the jade ruyi, much less her own.
She knew the man in front of her best; he was a prodigy and a very chauvinistic man. In the past two years, her abilities had not improved, and she was worried, but she dared not tell Xie Jincheng.
Don't think she doesn't know. Xie Jincheng, when her own abilities couldn't improve, Xie Jincheng's abilities improved, and he even smiled. The boy in front of her said he doted on her, but that was just a self-created image.
I'm afraid that one day Xie Jincheng won't care about me anymore.
They abandoned their family, and they abandoned her.
Jiang Ruyi's worries erupted at this moment.
"Impossible. There are five major families and other families. How could the small Jiang family, with a few escaped members, possibly withstand us?"
Xie Jincheng confidently refuted this, believing that those who slipped through the net were not very capable, and that even people of similar age to them were not as talented as them.
They are definitely not as capable as the Jiang family, and besides, they have so many powerful family members, why would they be afraid of the mere Jiang family?
Jiang Ruyi frowned. There was no point in arguing with Xie Jincheng now. The most important thing was to tell the elders about this information so that the family could take precautions and let them know so that they could also help with the search.
"Let's go back and tell our elders!"
Jiang Ruyi was distracted at the moment, her heart filled with surging hatred. That good-for-nothing was not dead, and he had to be killed. She wondered if her inability to improve her strength was because of that good-for-nothing.
We must kill that good-for-nothing. Only by killing that good-for-nothing and his people can the Jade Ruyi be restored.
Jiang Ruyi and Xie Jincheng hurried to a restaurant, as if they had a premonition that the answer lay there.
Jiang Congtang had already noticed the male and female protagonists when they appeared on their family's territory, but he did not immediately kill them.
Instead, they leisurely finished eating and drinking, and just as one of the male and female protagonists sensed that they were about to enter the restaurant.
Jiang Congtang quietly disappeared from the restaurant, without meeting the male and female protagonists.
With God's help, they are not afraid of the male and female protagonists.
However, God is right. The male and female protagonists have a halo. They were originally cannon fodder, but although their abilities are similar, with God's protection, their luck has improved considerably.
Ultimately, there is a Heavenly Dao supporting the male and female protagonists.
A head-on collision will really put you at a disadvantage.
Jiang Congtang didn't see anything wrong with secretly taking care of their people before dealing with the male and female protagonists.
Don't confront them head-on from the start.
If you remove their families and their right-hand men, without their help and support, they will be weak.
They knew these people wanted their elders' support to take action.
Make the other person unable to find you, and make them constantly search for you.
Jiang Congtang would make his move in secret right now, after all, there were also weak people in their family, and those weak people might be their more important figures.
Everyone has their Achilles' heel and their Achilles' heel.
"I can't find it, where did it go?" Jiang Ruyi looked around. This restaurant also had accommodations, but there was no one in the dining area or the private rooms, so she looked for a room.
"Ruyi, let me ask. This is my family's restaurant. I'll ask the manager."
Xie Jincheng then asked the restaurant manager, who in turn asked the waiter.
……
"Waiter, are there any strangers staying here tonight?"
"Shopkeeper, there are no strangers. Everyone who stays here has written down their information. We can check with the front desk."
"Were there any strangers at the restaurant? Strange men?"
"Yes, there are several tables of strangers today, including a young couple, a middle-aged couple, a family of three, and a teenager."
The waiter recalled the story.
People who come here to eat aren't necessarily from the city; they might be passing guests.
Although those who cultivate immortality have no desire for food, many do so to make friends, while others do so to hear news.
People who come to restaurants aren't necessarily there for the food.
Some people listen to audiobooks or music.
"Take us to see it."
Xie Jincheng directed the waiter to lead the two of them to find the strangers who were eating. Jiang Ruyi said "find strangers" because some of the people from over a decade ago might not even be recognized by the current manager or waiter.
Besides, people's appearances change as they grow up.
"Hey, why did this group of people leave? But they left money behind."
The waiter remembered that the food had just been served, and the guests seemed to have almost finished eating, as he hadn't seen them leave.
"Waiter, tell me quickly, who are the people sitting at this table?"
Jiang Ruyi asked nervously, she had a premonition that someone she knew or had a feeling about was sitting there just now.
She had a feeling that this person might be someone she knew.
"The person sitting at this table is a boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a dark complexion, is very thin, and is a very ordinary person. It seems that even people with cultivation abilities who appear on the street would not be so ugly and dark-skinned."
Jiang Congtang was wearing a disguise mask when he went out today, making him look like an ugly and ordinary young man.
However, although his attire didn't make him look very wealthy, he was still wearing a Buddhist robe, so the restaurant wouldn't refuse him entry.
After all, a meal here is very expensive. Even if this person doesn't have money to pay, the supplies he has are quite valuable, such as the robes and boots he's wearing.
Jiang Ruyi always had a feeling that this dark and ordinary person was definitely not the real person.
"Maybe this isn't it. Let's go check the other people and see if they're among them?"
Xie Jincheng suggested.
Jiang Ruyi could only nod. She had a feeling in her heart, and now she could only follow Xie Jincheng's wishes.
"No, I don't know him."
Jiang Ruyi didn't feel a sense of familiarity among these unfamiliar people at the tables.
Jiang Ruyi has the ability to absorb other people's luck. She can sense the aura of people she has met before.
Martial arts practiced by members of the same family can also share the same body odor.
Jiang Ruyi has absorbed the fortune of many people, and she also visited the Jiang family back then.
I even met Jiang Congtang, who was with me during the New Year.
At that time, she kept drawing a lot of luck from those people.
The reason why the Jiang family was so prone to misfortune was, of course, related to her.
Although Jiang Congtang left the restaurant, he transformed into another young man, wearing a disguise mask.
He was walking on the street, but he was several blocks away from the street.
Jiang Congtang has already discovered Jiang Ruyi; something's amiss.
He even sent out puppets to serve him.
Real-time broadcast: Jiang Ruyi and Xie Jincheng's location.
At this moment, they saw that they were looking for him. When they couldn't find him, they didn't give up. They went out of the restaurant and searched the streets.
On this main street, one cannot simply crash or fly around at will.
However, the two men came up with a solution: they jumped onto the roof, making it easier to see what was below from a higher vantage point.
Jiang Congtang had already concealed himself, and their every move could be seen.
As expected, when the two men couldn't find him, they returned to their respective families and separated.
Jiang Congtang knew they wouldn't give up.
They must have called for reinforcements.
Jiang Congtang was not afraid of them. He hid on the street and crippled any members of the Xie or Jiang families he encountered.
It will severely injure them and cause their cultivation level to drop.
Jiang Congtang sensed a murderous aura emanating from these people, indicating they wouldn't hold back.
A person with black, malevolent energy must have done evil deeds.
Jiang Congtang gained another ability: he could sense from certain people whether they had harmed any members of the Jiang family.
If it were just a friendly sparring match, Jiang Congtang wouldn't have sensed it.
After all, more than ten years have passed.
If someone is seriously injured or killed, they will be marked with black evil spirits, and the person will be able to sense that this person killed someone from their family.
Jiang Congtang would certainly not show mercy to such people; he would cripple them and even destroy their souls.
Many members of the Xie and Jiang families appeared on the streets and were inexplicably killed.
They were killed one by one, without anyone noticing at first.
However, it was soon discovered that those who entered the ancestral hall had soul lamps, and the people guarding the soul lamps saw that the soul lamps went out.
Those people gasped, and then it became a sensation.
At first, some people didn't know why so many people had died.
Upon learning that not only members of the Xie family had died in this incident, but also members of the Jiang family, they were shocked to discover that...
The reason those people took action was because members of the Jiang family had appeared.
Those who know the inside story know about the Jiang family tragedy that happened more than ten years ago.
The entire family was wiped out overnight.
As for whether the entire family was wiped out?
Only those who did it know.
Those behind the scenes have been investigated, but of course, outsiders don't know.
Are there laws in the world of cultivation?
Of course there are, but those who do it in secret don't leave any trace.
And no one filed a complaint.
So many people banded together, they definitely didn't want this matter to be leaked, and they didn't want everyone in the cultivation world to know that these people were the ones who did it.
Some people are the masterminds behind the scenes, but many don't act directly; they pay people in the organization to do the work.
Regardless of whether the organization succeeds or not, once they've received money, they're definitely protecting the client's information.
Jiang Congtang is still investigating, trying to find out about that assassin organization.
The appearance of the female lead and the male lead today made him discover some clues.
What is an assassin organization?
Actually, he didn't see those people that night; he only knew they were masked.
If they're called assassins, were these people also involved?
With so many masked men, how could he have seen Black Fiend if these people hadn't been involved?
Jiang Congtang considers the other party an enemy, so how could he be lenient?
The hatred that had been suppressed within him for over a decade erupted at this moment.
They recklessly created chaos.
Many members of the Xie and Jiang families died, and some powerful cultivators even went out to report to the city lord.
Jiang Congtang pulled off a big heist and then went into hiding, creating chaos among these people.
Of course, I won't leave so easily. How can I not let them have some fun? How can I be fair to all the hardships I've endured over the years?
