<h4>Chapter 832 The Rising of the Son-inw</h4>


    “Mr. Zhang is here. The Jiang n is really honored and lucky to have your gracious presence!”


    The oldest martial artist of Jiang n immediately bowed and saluted.


    Patriarch Jiang and the others also stood up.


    Seeing that, Zhang Han was bored.


    He waved a bit at them and didn’t say a word.


    By contrast, Jiang Tongtong’s parents were so excited that their faces flushed.


    “Hahaha!”


    “What a great son-inw!”


    “Given his close rtionship with Zhang Han, the Jiang n would definitely benefit a lot in the future!”


    Before they had time to savor the surprise, a group of people rushed in. There were eight of them in total.


    Jiang Yan was in the lead.


    Her expression was sort of cold.


    “Boss.”


    She hailed Zhang Han first, and then looked to the left with frosty eyes.


    “Xia Ran, what’s wrong with you?”


    “Ahem.”


    As soon as she said that, a light cough came from beside.


    “Jiang Yan, I, your father, am still here. You didn’t bother to greet your father first before getting to business, did you? That was just harsh and vigorous.”


    The cough made Jiang Yan stop talking.


    “Young Master Zhang.”


    “This is my father.” Jiang Yan then took the initiative to introduce him.


    “Sect Leader Jiang.”


    At this time, Zhang Han also stood up and dissipated the energy that had suppressed the Xia n.


    Patriarch Xia’s face turned slightly pallid, and Xia Ran looked outright frightened.


    It seemed that they were in deep trouble.


    “Young Lord Zhang, I’ve long heard of your name. After meeting you in person today, I know you truly lives up to your reputation.”


    Sect Leader Jiang was at Heaven Peak Stage but he couldn’t sense a trace of Zhang Han’s aura. Thus, he felt that it was a little unusual.


    He smiled and continued, “Young Lord Zhang, thank you for taking care of my daughter in Xiangjiang.”


    “Sect Leader Jiang, you don’t have to be so courteous. Captain Jiang has helped me several times, and I will never forget that,” Zhang Han smiled and responded.


    “Hahaha.” Sect Leader Jiang alsoughed out loud and gave Jiang Yan an approving look.


    “Good for you, my daughter. You’ve befriended the Young Lord of Heavenly Knights Sect. That’s a strong connection.” In the past, Sect Leader Jiang might not have found it amazing. But now, time had changed, and the Heavenly Knights Sect had turned the tables against the will of heaven and seemed to rise again.


    “I’ve heard about this matter.”


    Jiang Yan looked at Xia Ran and said bluntly, “You shouldn’t have implicated the secr world. The Xia n mustpensate the victims in full. Do you have any problems with that?”


    “Yes, I have!”


    Xia Ran was a little more confident when he saw that Sect Leader Xia and the other sect members hade here. He said, “I’ve done great service to the sect, and my mission has been rted to the sect. Why would I have topensate a secr family?”


    As soon as he said that, Jiang Yan’s face darkened.


    “Have you forgotten that years ago, the Xia n was also an ordinary family?”


    “This is not the same case.” Xia Ran shook his head stubbornly.


    “Oh?”


    Zhang Han looked at the people of Shuiyun Sect in surprise.


    “How dare they let a God Realm disciple of their sect refute that?”


    Sect Leader Jiang’s eyes showed a bit of awkwardness. He thought for a moment and then said, “Considering that Xia Ran has made contributions to the sect, the sect will pay half of thepensation this time.”


    As soon as he said that, Patriarch Xia was slightly amazed, then he breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, Xia Ran looked quite smug, and he even made another surprising remark.


    “Sect Leader, Zhang Hanyang of Heavenly Knights Sect has just ridden roughshod over us without a reason. Please seek justice for us.”


    “You’re Zhang Hanyang, so what?”


    “I, Xia Ran, still won’t let you run wild!”


    It seemed that he had forgotten that he didn’t dare to utter a word just now.


    “What did you say?” Sect Leader Jiang was displeased and frowned slightly. “Xia Ran, don’t talk nonsense. You’ve made some contributions to our sect during the secr Divine List Competition. Go back and take your reward. Then, you should practice hard and try your best to break the Earth Realm as soon as possible.”


    He made his point first because he wanted to ease Zhang Han’s anger. He had also heard that Zhang Hanyang had a rather bad temper. Also, as he didn’t want Xia Ran to babble again, his eyes were full of fierceness.


    Seeing that, Xia Ran didn’t dare to speak anymore. He cupped his hands and retreated to the side.


    A God Realm disciple had made a disrespectful remark, but his Sect Leader didn’t say anything to criticize him, did he?


    “For the sake of Captain Jiang, I’ll spare his life.”


    That kind of unfounded countercharge upset Zhang Han a little. After saying that, he looked at Fu Hongshan, who was behind him, and said, “If the Xia n choose not to give me an answer on this matter, just let me know. And I will erase the Xia n from this world forever.”


    “Whoosh!”


    As soon as he said that, Patriarch Xia looked more unease.


    An outright threat!


    Xia Ran’s face was brimming with anger. Just as he was about to say something, he felt an overwhelming pressure.


    It was Sect Leader Jiang who was suppressing him.


    “It’s gettingte. I’m leaving.”


    Zhang Han nced at Sect Leader Jiang and turned to leave.


    “Yan, go see Young Lord Zhang off,” said Sect Leader Jiang.


    “Sure.”


    Jiang Yan cast a cold look at Xia Ran and then turned around and followed Zhang Han out.


    After they left the room, Jiang Yan said, “Don’t mind him. Xia Ran is a little special. Otherwise, I would have already punished him on the spot.”


    Zhang Han shook his head slightly and asked, “What’s special about him?”


    He didn’t see anything special about that kid. The only unusual thing was that there was a trace of the zing Eagle King’s aura around him.


    “He...”


    Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, “He’s found a map. And it’s in his possession. It’s a map of a secret ce in the ancient mine of the Mystical Martial World. Every time we go in, the location of the entrance changes. Therefore, we need Xia Ran to lead the way every time. Originally, the secret ce was a ce where our Shuiyun Sect often visited. Butter, it was suddenly sealed for no reason. I suspect that Xia Ran has found the treasure that controls the entrance and exit of the secret ce and then sealed it. The bloodline power I absorbed was also found there. It seemed to be the Fire Phoenix Graveyard. In short, without him, we can’t enter that secret ce. That is also why he dares to behave so unscrupulously.”


    “Oh?” Zhang Han’s expression altered.


    “He has been a thorn in my side for a long time, but there is nothing I can do. There is a small crystal stone mine in that secret ce, and the mining hasn’t finished yet. Our sect can only go down there one day a month, so the progress is rtively slow.” Jiang Yan gave an abridged exnation.


    “Okay.”


    Zhang Han nodded.


    Of course Jiang Yan wouldn’t tell him all that she knew. There must be more than small crystal stone mines and other treasures in that secret ce.


    For example, the zing Eagle King’s soul power?


    Dong Chen could use it. His Cultivation Method, the Four Symbols Sea,plemented that set of divine weapon cards. By far, he had obtained the cards of the souls of the Flood Dragon, the Golden ck Tortoise, and the Winged Tiger King. If he could also get the soul of the zing Eagle King, he would have all the Four Symbols. Then, the cards would upgrade to the top-tier of the fifth level, and maybe they would have the qualification to reach the sixth level in the future.


    Zhang Han’s senses were never wrong. Although the zing Eagle King wasn’t a top-level spirit beast, it was powerful enough to be one of that set of cards.


    Now that Zhang Han wanted to be an outstanding martial artist of the third generation, he must enhance the strength of Heavenly Knights Sect.


    The Wind Snow School hadn’t been obliterated yet, and he had no strength to do that for now. The energy hidden in his body was slowly being digested. Zhang Han expected that in two months, he could continue to absorb the energy in treasures to cultivate the Athanasia Demon Gong.


    The real power of the Air-shattering Hand would only reveal when he was at least at the Elixir Stage. Hence, He needed more supernatural powers.


    For that reason, Zhang Han was a little intrigued when he heard the news.


    After thinking for a while, he slowly said, “Captain Jiang, I’ll get straight to the point. Just now, I felt the aura of the zing Eagle King on that Xia Ran. I figure that secret ce houses the soul of the zing Eagle King. Grand Elder of Heavenly Knights Sect happens to need this thing for his treasure. If it’s not too much trouble, can you let Uncle Dong go down there with you to get the soul of the zing Eagle King? The Heavenly Knights Sect will give you treasures of equal value in exchange for it. What do you say?”


    “This...”


    Jiang Yan’s face froze for a second. She was undecided about whether she should agree on that or not.


    “Don’t worry. The secretnd belongs to the Shuiyun Sect. The Heavenly Knights Sect won’t encroach. Besides, there must be arge number of secret ces in that Ancient Mine, right?” Zhang Han added.


    That was true. The Ancient Mine was exceedingly vast and the treasures there were countless. However, to take those treasures, one must also have the required ability. Jiang Yan also knew this. Moreover, that secretnd was not really that precious.


    “Well, since you’ve asked, of course I’ll give you face.” Jiang Yan covered her mouth and smiled. Her eyes suddenly lit up. “In that case, why don’t we...”


    Jiang Yan leaned over and whispered something in Zhang Han’s ear.


    After hearing what she said Zhang Han was stunned. He looked at her with some amusement and eventually nodded.


    “Okay.”


    “Has Liue yet?” Jiang Yan asked after they were done with the business.


    “Yes.”


    “Then I’ll go beat him in a moment.” Jiang Yan’s eyes suddenly turned a little resentful. “He is now already at the Grand Master Late-stage. If he continues to stay with you, I’m afraid it won’t take long for him to reach the God Realm. If I don’t seize the chance to beat him now, when he bes powerful, then...”


    She broke off. Instructor Liu, on the other hand, had vowed several times that one day, he would beat Jiang Yan to a pulp.


    “Haha...”


    That remark made Zhang Hanugh instead. He shook his head slightly and looked somewhat emotionally at Sect Leader Jiang, who had just walked out of the room.


    “Your daughter’s heart is about to be stolen. How could you not notice that?”


    As for Sect Leader Jiang, Zhang Han despised him. He had done too bad in this respect. When Mengmeng grew up, he would surely keep a close look on her. If he found any boys who had an idea to pursue Mengmeng, he would directly beat the sh*t out of him!


    After a small nod, Zhang Han whipped around in a sh and stalked out. Whiling going out, he made two phone calls.


    “Changqing,e to meet me. I have something to tell you...”


    “Xiaowu, go back to the sect and contact Uncle Dong. Ask him toe over here.”


    Seeing Zhang Han leave, Xia Ran curled his lips in contempt.


    “Sect Leader, although Zhang Hanyang is from the Heavenly Knights Sect, you don’t really have to give him face, do you?” Xia Ran sounded a little disgruntled.


    “Watch your mouth!” Sect Leader Jiang frowned and his face darkened. “Xia Ran, you must bear this in mind. Impropernguage brings someone doom. If you continue to be so unscrupulous and stir up trouble, don’t me me for not protecting you.”


    “Whoosh!”


    Xia Ran’s expression changed slightly. He quickly lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Yes, I see.”


    Although he was a little arrogant, he was no fool. It was true that he wasn’t as afraid of the sect leader as the others in the sect, he was still very respectful in front of him.


    Otherwise, Sect Leader Jiang would have handled him a long time ago.


    “I have somewhere else to be. Xia Ran, you go back to the sect. Yan, are you going to Xiangjiang?” asked Sect Leader Jiang.


    “I’m not going to Xiangjiang for now because Zhang Hanyang is still here. I’ll go back with himter,” Jiang Yan replied.


    “Okay.”


    Sect Leader Jiang nodded and then departed with his men.


    Xia Ran also cupped his hands at Jiang Yan and left alone. He was only an hour’s walk from the entrance of the Mystical Martial World.


    “Patriarch Xia, get this matter settled in seven days.” Jiang Yan left that remark and then left quickly. She quietly followed Xia Ran, ready to watch a drama.


    As for Patriarch Jiang and his men who came out after that, no one paid much attention to them.


    It was not that they looked down on them but they really had nothing to say to them. Had it not been for Zhang Han’s sake, Jiang Yan and the others wouldn’t even havee in person. At most, they would have asked Xia Ran to tell the Xia n to deal with this matter.


    They were not ordinary people. If someone wanted to call them over, that person had to be important enough.


    “It’s all thanks to Hongshan that our Jiang n managed to escape this cmity.”


    Patriarch Jiang grabbed Fu Hongshan’s hand enthusiastically and said repeatedly, “You are Jiang n’s hero and benefactor.”
