Chapter 4287
Soul Demon Sect!
Ochre Yan had become dual-cultivation partners with Jiang Yulian, and together, they managed most affairs of the Soul Demon Sect!
In contrast, Patriarch Jiang was enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, dedicating the entire day to closed-door cultivation!
“Eldest Miss, there are several cultivators outside who wish to see the Sovereign,”
said a disciple of the Soul Demon Sect as he entered the main hall to address Jiang Yulian.
“They must be here to reshape their flesh, right? Let them in!”
Jiang Yulian responded promptly.
The Soul Demon Sect was renowned for its ability to reshape flesh, attracting many sects and families whose disciples had suffered physical damage. They would bring their remnants of souls seeking restoration!
Before long, a red-haired elderly man entered, accompanied by several disciples.
Ochre Yan, with just one glance, realized that this group was not there to remold their bodies, as none of them carried residual souls!
Having been a remnant soul for quite some time, Ochre Yan could easily identify whether others possessed a remnant soul.
Jiang Yulian frowned and inquired, “Fellow Daoists, could it be that you are here to reshape your flesh?”
“Eldest niece, it seems you don’t remember me. But then again, you were still in my arms when I left!”
the red-haired elder remarked to Jiang Yulian.
Jiang Yulian’s expression turned puzzled as she replied, “Who are you…?”
“I am Di Chong Jing, your father’s senior brother. We cultivated together back in the day,”
he explained with a smile. “Has your father mentioned me?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulian’s face soured instantly, though she quickly masked her discomfort. “I’m sorry, but my father hasn’t spoken of you,”
she replied. “However, since you are my father’s senior brother, please wait here. My father is currently in seclusion, but I will call him to join us shortly.”
“Hahaha, I didn’t realize my senior brother remained so diligent after all these years. I’ll be glad to wait!”
Di Chong Jing laughed heartily.
“Please ensure Uncle Di is well taken care of,” Jiang Yulian instructed a disciple of the Soul Demon Sect as she gestured towards Di Chong Jing and his companions.
As Di Chong Jing and the others were escorted to their resting area, Jiang Yulian slumped into a chair, visibly shaken.
“Yulian, what’s wrong?”
Ochre Yan rushed over, concerned.
“That man just now is my father’s senior brother, someone my father had mentioned,”
Jiang Yulian explained, her voice tinged with anxiety. “This senior brother is notorious for his cruel practices, often cultivating with human bones. Rumor has it that he founded a Blood and Bone Sect, known for draining human blood and devouring human bones.”
“In contrast, my father utilized his knowledge to establish the Soul Demon Sect, aiming to help others while also securing resources for himself. Due to their conflicting philosophies, my father never maintained a relationship with this senior brother. I never expected him to come to our doorstep.”
“I’m not sure what his intentions are, especially now that my father is in seclusion. We may not be equipped to handle this situation!”
Jiang Yulian’s distress was palpable as she conveyed her concerns to Ochre Yan.
Upon hearing her, Ochre Yan was equally alarmed. He had sensed that Di Chong Jing was a Mahayana realm expert, a level of power that would pose a significant challenge for the Soul Demon Sect.
Even if Patriarch Jiang emerged from his seclusion with the support of their disciples, overcoming Di Chong Jing and his group would not be an easy task.
“It’s crucial that we wake up my father immediately. We can’t allow him to remain in seclusion; if the Soul Demon Sect falls, his cultivation will have been for nothing,”
Ochre Yan suggested, contemplating the need to rouse Patriarch Jiang and develop a strategy.
Having become dual-cultivation partners, Jiang Yulian and Ochre Yan had begun addressing each other differently.
“Alright, let’s go awaken my father and see how he wishes to proceed,”
Jiang Yulian agreed as she followed Ochre Yan to where Patriarch Jiang was deep in his cultivation.
