Chapter 57 - 57: Pure Treasure Pavilion
A few days later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at the new message from Shen Daoming with a solemn expression.
They did not expect that something like that would happen on Shen Yuanlong’s side.
Not only did a Violet Palace Realm cultivator die, but also several of them were seriously injured.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanlong and the others from the Shen family were fine. Otherwise, the Shen Immortal Family might end up just like the current Flowing Cloud Sect.
Without cultivators at the Violet Palace Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, the huge Flowing Cloud Sect was no different from being wiped out.
The reason why no one had made a move to snatch away the Flowing Cloud Sect’s assets and treasures was mainly because the Ganyang Sect’s operation was not over yet.
No one wanted to be the first to do such a deplorable thing.
However, Jiang Chengxuan believed that even if the Ganyang Sect would give the Flowing Cloud Sect some aides in the future, the Flowing Cloud Sect would probably not be able to protect their sect’s foundation without the Violet Palace Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
This was the reality of the cultivation world.
If you had something that didn’t belong to your level, it would be coveted and taken away.
If news of the entire Flowing Cloud Sect being wiped out spread one day, Jiang Chengxuan thought that he wouldn’t be surprised at all.
Of course, what surprised him the most this time was that the Golden Core demonic cultivator’s method was actually so vicious and strange.
No wonder it was said that the current demonic cultivators were a tumor in the cultivation world.
It had to be eradicated at all costs.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan looked at Shen Ruyan and thought for a moment before saying,
“Ruyan, it’s about time. Let’s get the people in the market to go on the Conscience Platform.”
They could have done this a few days ago.
However, Jiang Chengxuan felt that before doing it, he needed to strengthen the array formation in the market just so they wouldn’t be sneak attacked.
A day later.
Everyone in the White Jade Market received a notice from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to go to the White Jade Square to be questioned.
This immediately caused the dissatisfaction of many cultivators in the White Jade Market.
Once they went on the Conscience Platform, the secrets in their hearts would easily be exposed.
This was something that none of the cultivators were willing to accept.
However, when Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan told everyone in the name of the Shen Immortal Family that this gathering was intended to search for possible demonic cultivators and that they wouldn’t ask relevant questions, everyone agreed to cooperate.
However, there were still some people who were unwilling to cooperate.
Pure Treasure Pavilion.
This was the largest shop in the White Jade Market other than the main shop of the Shen Immortal Family.
The goods sold included Dharma artifacts, medicinal pills, talismans, spiritual herbs, and so on.
Most importantly, the background of this Pure Treasure Pavilion was inextricably linked to the Hong family of the Ganyang Sect.
If there was no need, even the Shen Immortal Family, the actual owner of this market, was unwilling to offend them.
That was because the last Golden Core Realm cultivator of the Ganyang Sect was the ancestor of the Ganyang Sect’s Hong family. His name was Hong Tianqi, and he was called Immortal Tianqi.
He was also the biggest leader of the Ganyang Sect’s family faction.
Although he usually wouldn’t interfere in mortal affairs, when the matter really touched the bottom line, this important figure of the Ganyang Sect would step forward.
This also caused the Hong family to be unreasonable and domineering when doing things.
Not only did they plant their own people in the important positions in the Ganyang Sect and pocket a large portion of the profit, but they also put their hands into the territories of the various immortal families and sects, causing many to be dissatisfied.
However, because of the Hong family’s power, everyone could only swallow down their dissatisfaction and complaints.
At this moment, in the Pure Treasure Pavilion.
A man in green robes who looked to be in his thirties, but had an arrogant look on his face, was looking at the communication jade talisman in his hand with a dark expression.
This person’s name was Hong Wentao. He was the person in charge of the Hong family’s assets in this market and was at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He tightened his grip on the communication jade talisman.
With a crack, the communication jade talisman was immediately crushed into a pile of powder.
A Hong family disciple named Hong Yuan standing at the side couldn’t help but ask,
“Uncle, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan are too rude. They actually asked us to get tested on the Conscience Platform. Do you think we should go over?”
“Go?”
A look of disdain immediately appeared on Hong Wentao’s face.
“They’re just a small Violet Palace Realm immortal Family who relied on a woman. Why should we care about them?”
Hearing Hong Wentao’s words, Hong Yuan smiled ingratiatingly and nodded repeatedly.
“Uncle, you’re right. They’re just a small Violet Palace Realm family. Even if we ignore them, they won’t dare to do anything to us.”
White Jade Square.
At this moment, in this square that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, there was an eight-meter-tall Conscience Platform.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, and the other people in charge of the White Jade Market had already gathered here.
Around them, cultivators from the White Jade Market came one after another.
Gradually, tens of thousands of people gathered in the square.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at the time and said to Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan,
“It’s almost time. Check to see if everyone is here.”
When Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, and the others heard this, they immediately nodded and began to count the heads.
After a while.
Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan’s expressions were slightly troubled.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sensed their abnormality and immediately asked,
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, and the others looked at each other.
In the end, Shen Bohong said to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan,
“Elder Jiang, Elder Ruyan, all the cultivators in the White Jade Market have basically arrived. However, there are still some who haven’t come.”
Hearing Shen Bohong’s answer, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could not help but frown.
Shen Ruyan asked, “What’s going on? Who didn’t come?”
