Chapter 255: Clues!
"Yes!" the Rong Family Father and Son nodded.
They weren't fools, they knew that Chu Tianjiao sought them out to use them as his pawns. However, given the current circumstances, they were willing to become the sword in Chu Junlin's hand!
As long as they could stab Qin Jiang to death, that would be enough.
"I'll be waiting for your good news," Chu Junlin said indifferently, then drifted away.
Meanwhile, outside, Ye Wushuang sat in the car, fingers pinching a cigarette.
Seeing Chu Junlin return, Ye Wushuang let out a light laugh, "Junior brother, why did you seek those two out? Weren't you going to take your revenge personally?"
Chu Junlin spoke dispassionately, "I will certainly settle the score with Qin Jiang with my own hands, but doesn't he have a bunch of people around him? I'm going to make him watch helplessly as they die one by one... I want him to feel the despair and helplessness!"
"Killing him directly... would be letting him off too easily," he added.
"Besides, elder brother, this way, can't we distract attention more effectively? After all, we have another plan to execute, and that is the real crux of the matter."
"We use others as our weapon, let those people cause chaos in Jiangcheng, yet we won't enter that fray. What will Ye Longchen do then?"
"He will be frustrated and unable to take action, but most importantly... he will lower his guard!"
Ye Wujie smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Makes sense."
"By the way..." His pupils trembled slightly as he spoke, "My people seem to have found a clue."
"What clue?" Chu Tianjiao furrowed his brow.
"The Qin Family," Ye Wujie said flatly, "I had people look into the Qin Family's background before and found a puzzling point."
"Moreover, have you ever heard about the secret of the Tianyuan Wanshan Map? The legend of the martial arts world!"
Chu Junlin narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "I've heard of it."
"But, the real Tianyuan Wanshan Map has been lost to the world, hasn't it? Over the years, countless fakes have appeared at auctions, but not one has been genuine."
"You're wrong..." Ye Wujie chuckled coldly, "Our families in the Capital City have a deeper understanding of the Tianyuan Wanshan Map than outsiders. So, I'm very clear that the map was hidden within the Qin Family back in the day."
"And the downfall of the Qin Family, when you think about it, also had something to do with it."
"What's more, the most important point is that a Tianyuan Wanshan Map, genuine or not, appeared at the last auction and was acquired by Qin Jiang.!
"Coincidentally, this map was once the Qin Family's treasured heirloom in Jiangcheng!"
Chu Junlin's body shuddered, "You mean to say... there may be something wrong with the Jiangcheng Qin Family?"
Ye Wujie narrowed his eyes, enunciating every word, "The earliest ancestor of the Jiangcheng Qin Family that we can trace back to is within four generations; beyond that, we can't find any clues."
"And the ancestors of the Qin Family were outsiders to Jiangcheng."
Upon hearing this, Chu Junlin felt a chill run down his spine, "Elder brother, are you suspecting that the Qin Family are remnants of the Qin Family? But, the timelines don't match up!"
"Does it matter whether it matches up or not?" Ye Wujie's eyes flashed with a harsh light, "Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go!"
Chu Junlin sneered, "If they truly are remnants of the Qin Family and dare to use the Qin surname after the annihilation of their clan, that's truly reckless, practically courting death!"
The existence of the Qin Family is taboo in the contemporary world.
If any information on Qin Family remnants were truly found, many major powers would be shaken!
They would seek by all means to eradicate them!
How dare they?
Ye Wujie spoke icily, "As the number one clan of the Divine Land in ancient times, the Qin Family had a peak of one hundred thousand clan members! It took the combined forces of various powers many years to clean up those remnants of the Qin Family in plain sight!"
"After killing most of them, the remaining Qin Family scum wouldn't even dare poke their heads out."
"It wasn't until twenty years ago that Emperor Qin Qing emerged!"
"Aside from Emperor Qin Qing, none of the remnants of the Qin Family dared to provoke us, but... it was the appearance of Emperor Qin Qing that made all the powers take this no longer threatening waste seriously again."
"After all... when a lunatic from that clan pops up, they are extremely terrifying beings. They must be strangled in the cradle, or else they will become endless troubles!"
"Junlin, our mission is heavy this time. I hope you can help your senior brother a lot! After all, it's an important time for the old and new to transition on our side. If you can help me find the man, your senior brother will remember your kindness."
"You're too polite, senior brother," Chu Junlin said hastily.
A cold glint flashed in Ye Wujie's eyes as he flicked the cigarette butt out the window, "Then, after Ye Longchen leaves Jiangcheng, we'll officially start. This is also the best opportunity!"
The pair seemed to be chatting and laughing, but they were brewing a great conspiracy with an aura of an impending storm.
In the following two days, the Rong Family indeed exploded with scandals. Many consumers experienced side effects after using their medicines, developing rashes and even... ulcers, just like those previous trial users.
The moment this news broke, the Rong Family and the several big cosmetic giants that co-released these products fell into a public relations crisis, their reputations in ruins!
On the other hand, the cosmetic product 'White Jade' released by the Jiangge Group was leading the company to surge ahead triumphantly. Although the product was expensive, it still received terrifying feedback, completely selling out!
During these two days, Qin Jiang had been secretly cultivating, and in just a few days, his cultivation had further improved.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in his room. Surrounding him, numerous spiritual medicines had turned into ashes, forming a layer of fine ash on the floor beside him.
As the last spiritual medicine turned into True Qi and entered his body, he finally slowly opened his eyes.
His cultivation had made significant progress over the past few days; still, he felt that the speed of his cultivation was too slow.
"After reaching the Qi Sea Realm, indeed, it is extremely difficult to enhance one's cultivation in a short period! No wonder those martial artists find it hard to advance a single realm even in ten years, or several decades..." he sighed with deep feeling.
After all, today's spiritual energy of the heavens and earth was very thin, a world apart from the age of antiquity recorded in the ancient texts. The divine beings with supernatural powers from the ancient times were so strong that modern people cannot even imagine!
Nowadays, Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters are practically the ceiling of this world's capabilities.
Such beings would not have even merited mention in the past.
"Chu Junlin! A genius more terrifying than Chu Tianjiao. If he were to take action against me, I might very well not be his match in my current state," Qin Jiang thought to himself. He wasn't someone who liked to do things he wasn't confident about.
A sense of crisis spread within his heart...
"It seems that I have to use 'that' method!" Ultimately, Qin Jiang could only risk trying the method in his mind that he had never tried before! Only in this way could he speed up his cultivation progress.
There was no other way...
Just then.
Qin Jiang's phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Zhao Yuefei calling.
"What does this woman want with me now?" Qin Yan muttered to himself but eventually answered the call.
Zhao Yuefei's cold voice came through, "Qin Jiang, Ye Longchen wants to see you."
