Taoist world

Although Jiang Xing'an believed Jiang Shan's words and believed that Jiang Yun was also Jiang Qiuyang's son, before he decided whether to tell the clan elders about Jiang Yun or not, and before taking Jiang Yun back to the Jiang family, he decided to ask questions first. Ask God for help.

Why, as a biological brother, Dao Tianyou never mentioned Jiang Yun’s existence!

Facing Jiang Xingan's sudden question, Dao Tianyou fell into silence!

Jiang Xing'an didn't urge Dao Tianyou, he just stood there and stared at him with lightning eyes.

After a long time passed, Dao Tianyou finally spoke softly: "I don't know if I have a brother, and I have never heard of Jiang Yun's name!"

Jiang Xing'an frowned and was about to speak, but Dao Tianyou had already said, "I already said that when I came back."

"When I was a baby, my parents sent me to a small, low-level world called the Mountain and Sea Realm in order to avoid being hunted."

“That’s where I grew up from then on.”

"Before I was brought back to the Jiang family by the elder Jiang Jingxi, I was not sure about the origins of my parents. How could I possibly know whether I had a brother!"

Having said this, Dao Tianyou raised his head, looked at Jiang Xing'an calmly and said, "If the clan leader doesn't believe me, then you can search my soul to see if I have deceived the clan leader!"

In fact, in the Bitter Territory, soul searching rarely happens compared to the gathering territory.

Firstly, it is because soul searching may not be able to obtain the monk's true memory.

After all, the level of cultivation in Kuyu is much higher than that in Jiyu.

Some are strong people who can use various means, including some magic weapons, to change the memory in their souls.

Think about it, even Jiang Yun has a way to make up a false memory for himself through dreams, let alone here in the Bitter Territory.

Secondly, it is because every monk has various secrets of his own.

If soul searching is allowed, then these secrets will no longer be secrets and will be known to others.

This is not a good thing for monks, especially monks in sects or families. It will make them dissatisfied with the sect and family.

For example, Blood Painting.

Even great emperors like Xue Wuchang praised the painting technique he created, but among the entire vampire clan, only Xue Danqing mastered it.

The elders of the vampire clan would definitely be able to obtain this painting technique if they searched for souls, but they did not do so.

If the secrets of clan disciples are willing to be shared, they will reward them. If they are unwilling to share, they cannot take them by force.

The last and most important reason.

If a sect or an elder of a family needs to search souls to determine the authenticity of the words spoken by the clan members, it will definitely be a tragedy for the sect and the family.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xing'an did not directly search his soul to determine the authenticity after Jiang Shan told him about Jiang Yun.

Therefore, even if Dao Tianyou was a person who returned from the All Heavens Gathering Area, the Jiang family did not search for his soul.

It was only in the presence of several ancestors that he verified his bloodline and confirmed his identity as a member of the Jiang clan.

In addition, they never asked about Dao Tianyou's past experience in the All Heavens Gathering Area, what opportunities he had, and who he had contact with.

When they thought about it, since Dao Tianyou had entered the Suffering Realm and since he had recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, he no longer had the slightest connection with Jiyu and his past.

Today, if Jiang Shan hadn't mentioned Jiang Yun and that Jiang Yun's qualifications might surpass Jiang Yun, Jiang Xing'an wouldn't have come to question Tianyou.

After listening to Dao Tianyou's explanation, Jiang Xing'an stared at Dao Tianyou for a long time, and the stern expression on his face softened a little.

However, he did not reveal whether he really believed Dao Tianyou's words, but said calmly: "Someone just told me that in the Zhutian Gathering Domain, your father has a son there named Jiang Yun. .”

"I'm thinking about whether I need to take him back to the Bitter Territory and bring him back to the Jiang family."

"Now, I want to ask you what you think?"

Dao Tianyou was silent for a moment again and then said: "I don't have any ideas."

"After all, I have no feelings for him at all. He is just a stranger to me."

"Whether to bring it back to the Bitter Realm, everything will naturally follow the arrangements of the clan leader and clan elders!"

After taking a deep look at Dao Tianyou again, Jiang Xing'an nodded and said, "Okay, then I have nothing to do. You can continue to practice."

"If we take that Jiang Yun back to the Bitter Realm, then I will notify you and let you brothers meet each other."

"I am leaving!"

Dao Tianyou bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations to the clan leader!"

After Jiang Xing'an turned and left, Dao Tianyou closed his eyes, his face still calm.

It seemed that the news about Jiang Yun brought by the clan leader really didn't bother him at all.

However, if you stare at him carefully, you will find that there is a very slight tremor under his closed eyes.

After leaving Dao Tianyou's retreat, Jiang Xing'an stood in the sky above the Jiang family's ancestral realm and said loudly: "Elders of the clan, please come to the clan elders meeting. I have something important to discuss with you!"

The composition of Jiang's family can be divided into four parts.

Ancestral pavilion, clan leader, clan elders association and ordinary clansmen.

The Ancestral Pavilion is composed of the ancestors of the Jiang family.

To become an ancestor, one must either reach a high-level quasi-emperor in strength or reach a certain age.

As an ancestor, he is always aloof and will never participate in any affairs of the family and concentrates on cultivation.

It only appears when the family is facing a great crisis.

Under the ancestral pavilion, there are the clan leader and the clan elders' council, who are responsible for jointly managing family affairs.

The two are like two institutions, cooperating with each other and checking and balancing each other in order to prevent Jiang from speaking out.

However, Jiang Xingan's status is special.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Xing'an is the previous clan leader. Based on his seniority and strength, he should have entered the ancestral pavilion long ago, retreated behind the scenes, and concentrated on cultivation.

However, among the sixth generation members of the Jiang clan, the eldest brother Jiang Qiuyang left and has not returned yet.

Under Jiang Qiuyang, although there were some people with considerable strength and experience, none of them were suitable for the position of clan leader.

In addition, the clan members of the side clan are eagerly eyeing the position of clan leader. In order to avoid internal strife in the family, Jiang Xing'an can only continue to sit in the position of clan leader.

However, he basically stopped taking care of things and spent most of his time busy practicing, which was almost like handing over all the family affairs to the clan elders association.

There are twelve clan elders in the clan elders' meeting, all of whom are quasi-emperors.

Among them, there are four in the direct line and eight in the four major collateral lines, each of whom performs his or her own duties among the Jiang family.

The reason why there is such an arrangement is naturally for the sake of balance, so that one family, direct or collateral, cannot dominate.

On weekdays, at least half of the twelve clan elders will stay in the family, while the other half are free to go out.

As Jiang Xing'an finished speaking, there were voices from all directions in the ancestral world, rising into the sky and rushing towards the clan elders' meeting.

After a while, in addition to the clan leader Jiang Xing'an, eight clan elders gathered in the clan elders' meeting.

Among them, there are two direct descendants and six collateral descendants, including Jiang Jingxi!

Nine people sat around a huge round table.

The eight clan elders all looked at Jiang Xing'an with puzzled expressions, wondering why this clan leader, who had little to do with worldly affairs, had summoned them and others inexplicably today.

Moreover, Jiang Xing'an had a smile on his face, which was rare.

One of the oldest direct clan members, the elder of the clan, cupped his fists in front of Jiang Xing'an and saluted, "I don't know why the clan leader summoned us!"

Jiang Xing'an smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's a great thing!"
