Chapter 737 Jiang Clan Girl - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

After securing first place, Su Xuan earned the right to enter the top floor of the Spirit Tower for body tempering. There are now only three days left until the Spirit Tower opens. Upon listening to Wang Tong’s report, Wang Haoran maintained a calm demeanor. The reason was simple: Wang Haoran had encountered similar plot patterns countless times before. "What is the status of Lingzhou Prefecture in the Central Region, and how do the four major forces of Lingzhou Prefecture compare to the Wang Family?" Wang Haoran asked Wang Tong. "Young master, among the nine prefectures in the Central Region, Lingzhou Prefecture is considered the weakest in overall power," Wang Tong began, pausing momentarily before continuing, "However, this is relative. The four major forces in Lingzhou Prefecture are by no means weaker than the Wang Family." "So, you mean that among these forces, at least one has someone comparable to the Wang Family's ancestor?" Wang Haoran rephrased. "Exactly," Wang Tong nodded. Wang Haoran pondered for a moment. Although Su Xuan had obtained the qualification to enter the Spirit Tower for tempering, it would only happen in a few days. Wang Haoran could easily predict that there would be twists and turns involved. He could even guess the cause of the upcoming hurdles. Besides the faction that provided Su Xuan with the opportunity to compete, the other three forces would undoubtedly be hostile towards him. After all, Su Xuan was an outsider. Why should an outsider benefit from the significant opportunities of Lingzhou Prefecture? When Su Xuan attempted to enter the Spirit Tower, the other three forces would certainly create obstacles. However, following the normal plot trajectory, Su Xuan would still manage to enter the Spirit Tower smoothly. But why so? With Su Xuan's abilities alone, it wouldn't be feasible. He would need external assistance. The first person Wang Haoran thought of as an external ally was none other than Gu Hongyi. Yet, Gu Hongyi, in her current spirit form, had combat prowess comparable to the Wang Family ancestor but could not engage in prolonged battles. Each of the three opposing forces harbored at least one combatant of similar level; how could Gu Hongyi handle them? But the trope is unmistakable. Wang Haoran could only surmise that Su Xuan had even mightier assistance. Upon reaching this conclusion, Wang Haoran decided it was necessary to visit Lingzhou Prefecture in the Central Region. Though it could be quite complicated, he felt compelled to go. Having advanced from the first layer to the third layer of the Jindan Stage, Wang Haoran attributed much of his progress to Ye Wuhen and Shinichi Chizuru. But in terms of true combat power, he possessed far more than his stage suggested. Thanks to Ye Fan's numerous powerful cultivation techniques, innate treasures like the Hongmeng Sword, and the chaos elixir that replenished MP instantaneously, Wang Haoran could even eliminate Jindan Stage Great Perfection cultivators in a flash, and hold his own against a first-layer Nascent Soul Stage devotee. Moreover, if any situation turned hostile, he could simply hide in the Heaven Opening Tower, and no one could touch him. Not even the mightiest cultivators of the Central Region, or a Transcendence Stage Celestial Venerable from the cosmic peak, could do anything to Wang Haoran once he was inside the Heaven Opening Tower. With such safeguards, Wang Haoran naturally had nothing to fear. Just as Wang Haoran made his decision, events were concurrently unfolding in a part of Lingzhou Prefecture in the Central Region. "Master, in three days, I will be able to enter the Spirit Tower for body tempering, and I will search for materials there to reconstruct your body," Su Xuan spoke placidly, sipping tea as if addressing thin air. As his words fell, a glint of red light emitted from the ring on Su Xuan's hand, and the striking image of Gu Hongyi appeared mid-air. "I'm afraid it won't be that straightforward," Gu Hongyi noted. "Master, you mean they'll go back on their word?" Su Xuan's calm demeanor wavered. "As an outsider, the other three forces won't be generous enough to allow it," Gu Hongyi stated. "But I must enter the Spirit Tower for tempering," Su Xuan asserted firmly. Entering the Spirit Tower could expedite the regrowth of his limbs and also provide crucial materials for reconstructing his master's body. Naturally, Su Xuan would not opt-out. "The Spirit Tower must be entered, but I currently lack the capacity to guarantee your access," Gu Hongyi, eager for her body to be rebuilt soon, certainly wasn't going to dissuade Su Xuan from trying. "Is there any other way?" Su Xuan inquired. "I may not have a way, but there's no need to be overly concerned," Gu Hongyi added. "What do you mean?" Su Xuan questioned, puzzled. "Do you not recall your little girlfriend in the Central Region?" Gu Hongyi hinted. Upon hearing this, Su Xuan's eyes gleamed. The girlfriend in question hailed from a long-established, elite faction within the Central Region. If she were willing to assist, the three opposing forces in Lingzhou Prefecture would not dare to act recklessly. However, Su Xuan had a concern. "She was forcibly taken from my side by her clan members, who look down on me. Why would they allow her to help me?" Su Xuan sighed. "Although her clansmen disapprove of your relationship, you're underestimating her influence within her clan. If she insists on certain actions, not even her patriarch father can overly restrict her," Gu Hongyi spoke mysteriously. "But how can she be informed of this matter?" Su Xuan questioned. "Actually, ever since we entered the Central Region, a strong practitioner has been observing us in secret. At first, I was worried, but gradually I realized he bore no malicious intent," Gu Hongyi replied somewhat obliquely. To Su Xuan, however, her words sparked an understanding. In the Central Region, within the Supreme Prefecture. As the premier prefecture of the Central Region, Supreme Prefecture boasts the most expansive and dense spiritual energy among the nine prefectures of the Sacred Realm. Its cultivation environment is unparalleled. And the entities residing in Supreme Prefecture are anything but simple. The Supreme Prefecture's Nine Clans are all ancient lineages from ancient times. The founders of the Nine Clans had all reached the Sixtyfold Sage Realm. In terms of cultivation stages, they are comparable to those in the Void Reversion Stage. The Nine Clan founders, endowed with Void Reversion Stage capabilities, were the ones who pioneered the Sacred Realm. After its successful establishment, these founders selected the optimal cultivation grounds within the Sacred Realm to create their families, which then flourished over countless years, evolving into the Nine Clans. Thus emerged the Nine Clans of Supreme Prefecture in the Central Region. The clans are simply named with their surname followed by the word 'clan'. Jiang Clan. Atop a divine mountain. A young girl, dressed in a flowing pale lavender gown, was immersed in her cultivation. Her youthful beauty bore a hint of naivety, yet her features promised future peerless allure. One could easily imagine that in a year or two, she would bloom into a stunning beauty that captivated all. At this moment, as she cultivated, the girl slowly opened her eyes, an ancient tranquility in her gaze, somewhat mismatched with her aura. "Haven't I said not to disturb me during cultivation?" the girl remarked, seemingly to no one. A ripple in the air, and a black-clothed man materialized from thin air. "Apologies, young lady. I would not dare disrupt your practice if it wasn’t urgent," the man explained, kneeling respectfully. Upon hearing this, ripples stirred in the girl's previously calm eyes, joy appearing on her fair face. "Is it news about Brother Su Xuan?!" "You had instructed me to locate Young Master Su Xuan. Fortunately, I succeeded. I tracked him to Lingzhou Prefecture in the Central Region, where Young Master Su Xuan still bore unhealed wounds," the black-clothed man reported, before halting, hesitant to continue. "Brother Su Xuan is injured?!" the girl’s demeanor turned frosty. "How did Brother Su Xuan get hurt?" "Young Master Su Xuan arrived from the Eastern Region. Upon investigating, I found he was injured by the young master of the Eastern Region’s Wang Family," the black-clothed man disclosed. "Wang Family’s young master." A terrifying intent flashed in her eyes. (End of Chapter)
