He originally sought refuge with Luo Yaxuan and later joined my Saint Sect.â
Ye Tian nodded upon hearing the explanation.
These few hundred people must be Jiang Tangâs subordinates.
âJiang Tang, youâve recruited quite a few talents, congratulations!â
âHehe, the two bases I previously bestowed upon you, one of them has begun construction and is not yet open to the public.
Once we settle things here, weâll go check it out together.â
âSounds good.
By the way, this time I actually demanded two things from the King, which can be said to officially secure your assets!â
Ye Tian took out two scrolls from the storage bag, their golden hue resembling the legendary royal decrees.
As soon as Jiang Tang saw the objects, his mind began to guess.
He had just heard Ye Tian mention that the King wanted to trade for supreme elixirs, so these items must be what he obtained from the King.
While not yet clear about what these items were, he understood they were definitely of use to him.
He took the two scrolls from Ye Tianâs hands and opened one to find a map with the Kingâs royal seal upon it, only glancing at the words on top.
A surge of joy arose in his heart.
Considering his current wealth and talent, he couldnât help but exclaim, âIs this a territory granted by the King?
Is it truly a gift solely for me?â
Jiang Tang then opened the other scroll, which contained the same map and seal, precisely marking where his two bases were located.
The people present overheard Jiang Tangâs excited words and crowded around to take a look, those who could see the bright yellow scrolls taking note of their content.
Jiang Tang, not one to begrudge others a look, let them see as well.
Now that he had these deeds, it would be impossible for the officials to reclaim his lands.
As for whether someone would forcibly seize it, that would depend upon the usurperâs capabilities.
At this moment, Jiang Tang felt even more confident.
With these deeds in hand, it was as if he owned real estate, securing a property and an officially recognized title.
This was an absolute delight for him, although many clans were still unaware of the resources in the lands he sought.
The people who had followed him might know about the resources within and agreed to join, but without official documents, there could potentially be others who might attempt to seize it under the guise of officialdom.
Now with these documents in hand, Jiang Tangâs elated smile spread to those who read the content.
They finally shared a similar honor, despite those from the cultivation world not caring much for these official decrees.
Common families and those without clans, first and second-tier families alike, would still have to interact with the officials, and some matters would require calling upon others for assistance.
In the cultivation world, ownership of land was also under the management of officials.
While buying and selling might be more casual, it wasnât something just anyone could do freely.
As for a great power holder, they had the ability to take over an area without needing to purchase it from the officials.
That was their privilege, and even the officials dared not provoke them.
The nine women by Jiang Tangâs side also shared his smile.
Their happiness followed his own.
Perhaps these assets would belong to their descendants or become a part of their dwelling place.
Loving Jiang Tang, they cherished everything about him and hoped his endeavors would flourish.
Noble women born into prestigious families, aside from their familial estates, typically did not invest in other properties because people of the cultivation world carried all their valuable resources with them.
For them, real estate wasnât as useful as cultivation resources.
They neither lacked money nor a place to live.
âJiang Tang, this is wonderful!
In the future, weâll have such a beautiful place to call home.â
âI was previously worried that our beautifully developed location rich in resources might incite envy and be seized by others, but now, with this certificate, we can rest easy.â
The womenâs words reached Jiang Tangâs ears, one after another.
Jiang Tangâs face beamed with joy, but his heart still harbored concerns.
For instance, if these several great powers did not show up before, he could remain somewhat confident in protecting the Saint Sectâs assets.
But if these powerful individuals decided to band together and attack him for profit, he wouldnât have much chance of winning.
Although he had pets, two spaces, treasures, and avatars, against a dozen peers of equal cultivative prowess, he didnât harbor much confidence in victory.
Ye Tian, witnessing the laughter of Jiang Tang and the crowd, couldnât help but smile himself.
In his eyes, the officials werenât that mysterious or awe-inspiring.
To him, the King was not so unapproachably elevated.
It was just that others didnât know.
The King was well protected, and it was unlikely that anyone from the cultivation world would ever see the King in person.
âYe Tian, thank you for bringing me this useful thing,â
Jiang Tang said politely as he stored away the deed.
âJiang Tang, whatâs there to thank?
Whatâs our relationship, you donât have to thank me.
Iâm just glad I was proactive, and while Iâm causing you trouble, this gift eases my mind,â Ye Tian felt fortunate that he had thought ahead, managing to both impose on others and secure a peace of mind with this present.
âYe Tian, the truth is, even if I hadnât come to your rescue, you wouldnât have been in danger!â Jiang Tang decided to share what he knew.
âWhat do you mean?â
Ye Tian sensed the mystery in those words; he knew that there was a hidden meaning to what Jiang Tang had said.
As for what that was, he couldnât quite guess, but he didnât believe his own abilities were enough to ensure his complete safety.
Just managing to evade detection by a Great Power Holder for over two hours, until rescue personnel arrived, was already his limit.
Amongst the hail of arrows, he realized no matter how proficient his Artifact Refining Skill was, he couldnât create such excellent Flying Artifacts; it was clear to him that his skills, which he deemed formidable, still needed improvement.
This was definitely a case of there always being someone better out there.
âYe Tian, your ancestor has arrived, did you know?â
Jiang Tang did not speak in riddles.
âMy familyâs ancestor is here?
Iâve never even met him.
I heard heâs been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and even my father and grandfather have not seen him come out,â Ye Tian found it hard to believe his own ears, realizing that among those who had been following him was his own ancestor.
Jiang Tang glanced at Ye Tian, then at the nine women from the Top Ten Clans, as well as the several hundred people standing before him.
Although he didnât know if these dozen or so Great Power Holders had anything to do with the people here, it was normal for the younger generation not to recognize their ancestors.
So it was possible that none of the people here had ever met their own familyâs ancestors.
With the ancestors being in seclusion for so long, how could the younger generation have had the chance to see them?
He thought about the ancestors from North City Immortal Sect.
âYe Tian, among these dozen or so people, there is your familyâs ancestor, as well as the ancestors of the Top Ten Clans, including the ancestors of North City Immortal Sect, Nangong Immortal Sect, and the Ximen Immortal Sect,â Jiang Tang explained.
âWhat, our familyâs ancestor is here too?
Youâre not joking, are you, Jiang Tang?â
The women present were somewhat incredulous.
Their ancestors had been in seclusion for centuries, and they hadnât seen them; it was hard for them to believe they would emerge just to follow a young person.
They found it difficult to believe and were puzzled as to the reason why.
The people from Nangong Immortal Sect, North City Immortal Sect, and Ximen Immortal Sect started discussing amongst themselves.
Their ancestors, could they even meet such figures?
They couldnât imagine that so many formidable individuals had gathered to attack Ye Tian, the young man.
They found it shameless that their own ancestors would do such a thing.
âBy the way, Jiang Tang, who among the attackers is someoneâs ancestor?â Ye Tian, having heard Jiang Tangâs words, wanted to understand the truth, to see who would so shamelessly target someone junior to them.
It seemed like out of a dozen or so adults, only one odd character was out to get him.
He wanted to see which of the Top Ten Clansâ old monsters was so shameless.
âTang Sect, Poison SectâŚâ
At that moment, Jiang Tang glanced again at Tang Yanhong, believing she also was unaware that her ancestor was there.
âWhat?
My familyâs ancestor is here?â
Tang Yanhong looked incredulously at Jiang Tang, trying to determine from his expression whether he was joking.
In the face of many questioning looks, Jiang Tang explained what he had overheard:
âTang Yanhong, you didnât mishear.
I figured it out from their conversation.
Your familyâs ancestor went to attack Ye Tian, but later he dodged them.
Then, Ye Tianâs ancestor along with North City Immortal Sectâs ancestor, three of them, they went after your familyâs ancestor.â
