Chapter 116
Sanyuan Island.
The Jiang Clan ancestral grounds.
Countless pavilions and towers stretched out in unbroken lines, clustering around a lake at the heart of the island.
Beneath the surface of that lake rested a colossal beast, radiating a terrifying demonic aura comparable to late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Inside the discussion hall.
Jiang Ziyan exhaled a long sigh, her eyes carrying their usual seductive, smoky charm as she gazed at the clan members gathered for the meeting.
“Ancestor, must we really pledge ourselves to the Sea-Destroying Alliance? The Blue Sea Sect already has two Core Formation cultivators. They clearly hold the upper hand...”
The Jiang Clan patriarch, a middle-aged scholar, spoke with earnest persuasion. “Our family has exhausted every last resource, even selling the pots and pans, just to help Turtle Ancestor reach second-rank superior grade and barely maintain our independence. At a time like this, with a great war looming, we should be keeping an even lower profile.”
The Jiang Clan’s Foundation Establishment ancestor, Jiang Zidu, was a youthful genius who cared little for mundane affairs. He had formed his Foundation Establishment at the age of forty, yet because he had remained bound to the clan, he had never advanced beyond early Foundation Establishment. Even so, his attitude was firm.
