Bankruptcy beast.

Under Ye Cang's leadership, Jiang Chen once again reached the top of Sunset Peak.

But unlike the quietness of the past, there is now a more solemn and murderous atmosphere in Sunset Peak.

That feeling is like the last sharpness brought by the twilight when the sun is setting.

Is it the influence of candlelight?
Jiang Chen looked around and found that there were obviously many more Ye clan members on Sunset Peak than the last time he saw them, and each of them had a vigilant look on their face, as if they were guarding against something.

"The Ye Clan is in a sensitive period recently, so some core clan members have been pulled back to be responsible for defense. You don't have to worry about it."

Ye Cang explained: "The Dark Servant has not been very peaceful recently, and our Ye family is under a lot of pressure. This is the only way."

Jiang Chen nodded. With the advent of the small world, the number of evil spirits in the wilderness increased dramatically. This was indeed a big blow to the Ye family, which had set up its stronghold outside the natural moat.

Not to mention that one of the two major reliances of the Ye family has already encountered problems.

But since the Ye family had already known that there was something wrong with Zhuzhao and Youying, why didn’t they send strong men from the family to that Tanggu earlier?
Jiang Chen raised his doubts to Ye Cang, and Ye Cang had no intention of hiding anything and told him everything.

In fact, there is no need to hide it.

"Tanggu was named by our Ye family because the head of the Ye family who discovered it saw a sun falling into it."

Ye Cang explained: "The clan leader followed out of curiosity and also to obtain resources for Zhu Zhao's predecessor."

"The clan leader didn't tell us what happened in detail. We only know that Zhuzhao started to upgrade like crazy after that, all the way to the Sunshine level!"

"This sounds like a forbidden place, doesn't it?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. The only place that could quickly upgrade a pet spirit to the Sun-Shining Level during that period of time was the Forbidden Land.

"We suspected it, but the clan leader and Morning Star both denied it."

Ye Cang said: "I don't know the specific reason, but you can regard it as a taboo place."

"And it's a forbidden place with unique rules."

"Unique rules?"

"That's right. Tanggu has very strict requirements on the age of those entering, whether they are imperial masters or pet spirits."

"According to the data that our Ye family has collected over the years, the age range of a pet master is roughly between 16 and 20 years old, while the age of a pet spirit is limited to five years old."

"???"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened. He could accept the age limit for the imperial envoy. This also perfectly explained why Ye invited him.

But the age limit for pet spirits is a bit excessive.

Five years old. If it were a pet with stronger bloodline and longer growth cycle, it probably wouldn’t even have grown all its teeth.

Well, the growth rate of extraordinary creatures will indeed increase a lot after becoming pet spirits, but many cubs are at least one or two years old when they are contracted, and the later the contract, the older the age.

This is just to let the Imperial Censor go in with a pet spirit...

Jiang Chen seemed to have realized that with these two conditions, there were very few options available.

The mission to Tanggu is obviously very difficult when it comes to the life of a sun-shining creature like Zhuzhao. Without some strength, you will just be cannon fodder.

Judging from the attitude of Ye Cang and his group, even if they were to be cannon fodder, their requirements were not low.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood why the Ye family was recruiting young imperial envoys from across the federation.

Although the Ye family's children are all talented, it is obviously not very reliable to rely solely on their own family members.

"Tsk...it's a bit troublesome indeed." Looking at Ye Cang's wry smile, Jiang Chen also silently began to calculate the age of his own pet spirit.

Fa Cai was the earliest one I made an appointment with, but at that time Fa Cai was just a cub who was only a few months old, so he definitely met the requirements.

Hongzhong’s origins are rather complicated, and he is not sure of his exact age. Perhaps his age can be recalculated after the manor is reset?

You can only see it after entering Tanggu.

It is easy to judge Baiban's age. There are almost no older creatures in the white-headed badger clan because of their strong bellicosity and ability to commit suicide. Judging from Baiban's performance, he is still just a child.

The most accurate one should be the Nine-barreled One. When I received the Nine-barreled One from Brother Xiao San, it was also accompanied by detailed information. As of today, it is exactly three years, two months, four days, 43 minutes and 56 seconds old.

Well, don’t ask why it is so accurate. The reason is that this data was provided by Jiutong to himself.

As a qualified housekeeper, you must provide accurate data before the master asks.

Jiang Chen responded well and continued to check on other pet spirits.

Dongfeng... There's no need to look at this one. The pet spirit that I "planted" myself is definitely of the right age.

The biggest problem is Xiaoji and Yiwan.

There is no need to say much about Yaoji. This guy has lived in the Six Paths World for countless years. If the years before Nirvana are counted, it may be longer than that in the main world, which is definitely beyond the limit.

As for ten thousand... Old Heluo Turtle didn't tell him that it was more than ten thousand, and he never mentioned ten thousand, so Jiang Chen didn't know even more.

But, this doesn't seem to have any impact?

Jiang Chen glanced at Yi Wan who was sleeping on the lotus leaf and directly crossed out the question.

Without special circumstances, this guy cannot be counted as part of the regular combat force, so let’s find a way to solve Yaoji’s problem.

But for now, I should go and see Mr. Ye first, just in case this task is not as complicated as I thought.

After all, he might be the only one so far who could satisfy Tanggu's restrictions and possess the power of the Sun-Shining Creature.

If this still can't accomplish Tang Gu's mission, it would be a bit too much.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen’s pressure was reduced a lot.

"Don't worry. With me here, we can defeat a Sun-level enemy."

Seeing Ye Cang so worried, Bai Xiaoyu jumped out again, his words full of confidence.

And Ye Cang actually expressed his approval of Bai Xiaoyu's totally unreliable words!
"Indeed, with you and Jiang Chen here, this mission should be successfully completed."

Ye Cang let out a long breath, and led a few people through the long mountain road and quickly reached the top of the mountain.

heat!
As soon as Jiang Chen stepped onto the top of the mountain, he felt a hot breath coming towards him, and also felt an extremely ominous breath.

That is the breath of death.

Jiang Chen subconsciously activated his innate resistance, then looked in the direction of the breath, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

A giant golden beast was lying quietly on the platform on the top of the mountain, with golden flames emanating from its body, which made people feel intimidated.

But in Jiang Chen's eyes, what he saw was not a giant beast, but a sun that was about to fall!

The two guardian gods of the Ye family, Sun Zhuzhao, have already stepped half a foot into the land of death! (End of this chapter)
