The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

Two days later.

A dark and windy night.

The landlord's servants were in complete chaos.

"Fire! Fire!"

Fires were burning in all directions.

The entire backyard was engulfed in flames, and even Fang Yilong's mourning hall was consumed by the fire.

The servants could only shout and yell at the sight of such a huge fire; they couldn't do anything about it.

"It's over, it's all over!"

"Master, Second Master, Third Master, and Fourth Master have all been killed by the immortals."

"It must be the gods' enemies coming for revenge."

Zhao Xiao collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, at a loss for what to do.

The fire illuminated his terrified expression.

not long ago.

A masked immortal in black robes entered the landlord's house silently.

They killed everyone in the landlord's family.

It wasn't until the houses in the backyard caught fire one after another that Zhao Xiao, his guards, and the two groups of imperial troops realized that something terrible had happened.

When they arrived at the backyard, they found only corpses scattered everywhere and a raging fire engulfing the house.

As the fire raged, Zhao Xiao saw a masked man in black emerge from the flames.

The man in black glanced at him as he left, then leaped up and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhao Xiao was so frightened by the man in black's glance that he lost his mind.

Fortunately, the man in black ignored him, a mere lackey, and he narrowly escaped death.

He slumped to the ground, staring at the sea of ​​fire, still shaken.

"Steward Zhao, what do we do? The master and the others are all dead!"

"The Fang family is finished; they've all been burned down."

"This fire can't be put out. The Fang family is gone. I'll go first."

The guards watched helplessly as the fire raged.

Seeing that the entire Fang family had been burned to death, some people immediately left and secretly went to the front yard to search for valuables.

The servants followed suit, looting money, jewelry, and other valuables.

The Fang Mansion was enormous.

Destroyed overnight.

……

In the market not far from the Fang residence.

A man in black, carrying a box, stood on the rooftop, calmly watching the Fang mansion burn in flames.

This person was none other than Jiang Yun.

Not long ago, he infiltrated the Fang family mansion and used the "Mysterious Netherworld Ice Soul Needle" to kill the entire landlord's family.

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no survivors.

Now, only Fang Yixun, the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was conscripted by the Chu family, is still alive in the landlord's family.

Perhaps they are alive, or perhaps they perished in the battle of the immortals.

Jiang Yun killed some ordinary people without breaking a sweat this time.

However, he remained cautious, only using the Xuanming Ice Soul Needle to kill people, and never using the Taibai Burial Gold Sword.

The Xuanming Ice Soul Needle is extremely small; it can pierce a person's heart, and if the body is burned, no one will notice anything.

It was clean and efficient, leaving no trace.

Standing on the rooftop, Jiang Yun felt an immense sense of exhilaration.

Perhaps it was because of the deep-seated resentment he harbored towards the landlords during his years as a tenant farmer.

"Fine, the landlords have oppressed the tenants for so many years, let them kill them."

"Just as Ling'er said, this can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge!"

Jiang Yun stared coldly at the chaotic Fang residence.

The next moment, several lines of small golden characters appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations, host, your family's silver reserves have exceeded 10 taels]

Complete the "Millionaire Family" achievement.

[Gain 50 achievement points]

[Achievement: 150/200]

"Ten thousand taels of silver, an extremely wealthy family."

"Looks like there are quite a few silver notes in this box."

After Jiang Yun dealt with the landlord's family, he discovered a secret room.

The secret room contained numerous gold and silver treasures, and besides that, there was this box.

Jiang Yun didn't like the gold and silver jewelry, so she took the box instead.

He opened the box and took a look inside.

There were three things inside.

A pile of silver notes, a token, and a letter.

"I wonder what this token is for. I'll take it home and study it."

Jiang Yun put the box into the storage bag.

They were preparing to leave the rooftop and return home.

Surprisingly, another achievement was completed.

And this time, new achievements were unlocked.

[The host is decisive and ruthless, displaying the demeanor of an ancestor from a cultivation family.]

Congratulations on completing the beginner level achievement for "Ancestor Jiang"!

[Gain 20 achievement points]

[Achievement: 170/200]

"The Ancestor of the Jiang Clan..."

"Alright, my parents died early, so I am indeed the ancestor of the Jiang family."

Jiang Yun smiled, lightly leaped away from the market, and hurried home.

To achieve the ultimate goal of becoming the "Ancestor of the Jiang Clan," there is still a long way to go.

Back home, Jiang Yun jumped into the yard without disturbing the children.

The only person who knew he was going out tonight was Ling'er.

He took the box out of the storage bag and pushed open the door to enter the bedroom.

Inside the room, Ling'er had been waiting for a long time.

She worried that Zhao Xiao's information was incorrect and that Fang Yixun might be secretly hiding in the Fang residence.

Seeing Jiang Yun return safe and sound, a huge weight was lifted from my heart.

"Husband, you're back!" Ling'er rushed to greet him, her face beaming with joy. "Fang Yixun really wasn't home. I was so worried about you."

"No need to worry, the landlord's family is gone."

Jiang Yun removed his black clothes, gathered flames in his palm, and burned the black clothes away.

"My husband is mighty! Not a single good person in that landlord's family is any good. Don't worry about him, you're ridding the people of a scourge!"

Ling'er first praised him.

Then, thinking that her husband would surely go on a killing spree tonight and have his hands stained with blood, she tried to comfort him.

"It's alright, my husband is fine."

"What cultivation path doesn't involve killing? The number of people killed will likely increase in the future!"

Jiang Yun's state of mind wasn't so bad. Killing a few people was just killing them; why think so much about it?

"That's right." Seeing that Jiang Yun was in good spirits, Ling'er asked, "This box belongs to the landlord; what's inside?"

"Silver notes".

Jiang Yun walked to the bedside, emptied the contents of the box, and placed them on the bed.

Soon a pile of silver notes appeared on the bed.

"Ling'er, count them, and let your husband take a look at this token."

Jiang Yun had Ling'er count the silver notes, while he picked up the token and the letter to read them.

"So many silver notes! The landlord's family is really rich."

"But now it all belongs to the Jiang family!"

Upon seeing so many silver notes, Ling'er immediately began to count them.

She counted them one by one, piling ten banknotes into a stack.

A stack of ten sheets would amount to ten thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Yun began to examine the token.

A single character was found engraved on the token.

--cloud.

"cloud?"

"Could it be the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, one of the three great immortal sects of the Great Yu?"

Jiang Yun fell into deep thought.

Fang Yixun, from the landlord's family, joined one of the three great immortal sects, most likely the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect.

It's not surprising that the landlord family regarded this token as a treasure.

Jiang Yun poured a wisp of magic power into the token, but found that the token did not react at all.

It's just an ordinary thing; I don't know what its purpose is.

He put down the token, opened the letter, and began to read it—

"Brother, the Chu family has issued a summons, and I have no choice but to obey. I am going to war, and I do not know when I will return."

This token is a symbol of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect. Holding this token allows free entry and exit from the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, provided that the sect fulfills one condition.

My brother is away fighting and unable to care for the family. If the Fang family faces any great calamity, this token will ensure their safety.

Jiang Yun finished reading the contents of the letter.

He instantly understood the purpose of the token.
