The Jiang family once dominated the government and had many officials, especially members of the branch family, who were spread across all states. People from the Jiang family's branch family served in prefectures, counties, and counties.
However, there is a pitfall in the imperial court's Daoguo. If the royal family wants to appoint a certain official, even if the official has extraordinary cultivation, he will be no different from ordinary people. Therefore, after the main family moved overseas, most of the people in the branch family resigned and left. Now you can still see a group of former officials in the branch family who have realm but no strength.
As the recipients of the Earthly Dao Fruit, they left their own divine realm and lost all their cultivation. As for the Divine Realm, the place it governs, new officials have been appointed by the imperial court. Unless the new officials can be killed and returned to their original posts one day, it will be impossible to recover.
But there are also some people who did not choose to resign. Instead, they upheld their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and stayed at their posts. In other words, they betrayed.
These people still serve as court officials, and Jiang Zhaoyi, the current governor of Fufeng County, is one of them.
This is considered a category.
There are also people who have separated families, still thinking about the main family, running around for the main family, and always thinking about welcoming the main family back.
This is also considered a category.
This category of people originally made up the majority, and the people of the Jiang family who joined the Dinghu Sect all belonged to this category. However, due to the departure of the main family, each branch family suffered a blow, especially this type of branch family. After being severely beaten, many branch families recognized the reality, and some even chose to change their surnames and live in seclusion. They are now only in the minority.
The rest can be divided into two categories, one is those who live together as a group and just want to continue; the other is those who keep their strength relatively intact and want to annex other branch families.
The second to last category are Jiang Li's invisible allies. Once they are sure that Jiang Li is really good, they will follow him.
The last category, in fact, should be said to be one family, Yongzhou Qishanjiang, the 56th branch of the family, living in Yongzhou for generations, guarding the ancestral land. This lineage can take root in Yongzhou, which is rich in rebel thieves, and its strength is very good. And because of the complicated situation in Yongzhou, this lineage has preserved a lot of strength without losing too much.
The scum that Jiang Yang was talking about was this family. In the past two years, they had been busy annexing other branch families.
"The Qishan branch family wants to annex the family just because they have a fifth-grade person. I think this family is blocking the news." Jiang Yang said angrily.
"Fifth grade?" Jiang Li muttered.
Although there are many powerful people in the sect, there are six in the fourth rank alone, but if it were really to be released in the world, the seventh and sixth ranks would be the mainstream. Even if you include people from the older generation and those who have been around for a lifetime, the seventh and sixth grades are still the mainstream.
As for the fifth grade, there are countless Taoist fruits above the fifth grade. According to the ancient records of the sect, from the fifth grade to the first grade, the total number of all Taoist fruits is only three thousand. In other words, even the weakest fifth-grade one can still rank three thousandth among the countless creatures in the world.
The Qishan branch has a fifth rank, which is considered to be the top among the current Jiang branch.
"I remember Qishan is in Fufeng County, right?" Jiang Li asked.
"Of course it is in Fufeng County, not far from Jiangshui," Gongsun Qingyue said. "When the Jiang family came out of their ancestral home, it was in Qishan that they formed an alliance with the Ji family."
"That's just right." Jiang Li laughed.

The carriage continued along the official road, and after running for about twenty miles, they saw numerous peaks and ravines. Among the mountains, a small but prosperous county town stood.
Even in the midst of a drought, Qishan County is still prosperous. The long river named "Seven Stars" passes through the county town and has become the source of survival for the surrounding villages and towns. It can be said that there are so many people in the county town that it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to travel.
Jiang Li quietly got out of the carriage. His red robe should have been the most eye-catching color, but no one was paying attention at this moment. He walked through the crowd like a ghost and headed towards the residence of the Jiang family in Qishan.
There is no need to ask others, just follow the hot wind and find the coolest place in the city. That is where the Qishan Jiang family is.
Jiang Li arrived at the door of Jiang Mansion without taking any detours.
The scorching summer air quietly weakened as it approached the mansion, and the cool feeling seemed as if it was still before summer.
Drought is a major difficulty for ordinary people, but for aristocratic families, it is only a trivial matter. As long as there are practitioners and various Taoist abilities, there is no need to worry too much whether it is the temperature of the house or the harvest of the fields.
At the gate of Jiang Mansion, six big-bodied servants were guarding the door. Judging from their strong energy, they were all accomplished martial artists. The leader's energy had exceeded the limit of ordinary people, and he was a ninth-level practitioner. By.
I just don’t know what path and fruit this practitioner is harboring.
Jiang Li glanced at the leading servant and suddenly passed through the door like a phantom.
His figure turned and changed several times, inserting into the weak point of the six people's vision. He clearly passed by them, but to these six people, it was just like a wisp of breeze blowing by, and even brought the slightest trace of light to them. cool.
Entering from the gate, you can see servants patrolling everywhere in the mansion. Their steps are neat and well-trained, and you can tell at a glance that they have been prepared to guard against foreign enemies.
However, we can only be wary of casual practitioners.
Jiang Li walked silently through the mansion, like an invisible ghost, without disturbing anyone. Mysterious patterns appeared in his eyes, and he was able to discern the energy and find the place where the strongest aura was in the mansion.
After twists and turns, Jiang Li came to the side of the back house of the owner. His eyes fell on the roof, and his eyes reflected a red aura and a faint fire.
The fire and wood techniques are the mainstream of the Jiang family, especially those in the branch family who basically practice the two techniques. On the contrary, the main family, due to the innate plasticity of Qi, is like a hundred flowers blooming, with exercises of various attributes.
It's just that the fire in front of him is a bit too weak.
'Not fifth grade? '
Jiang Li frowned slightly.
This is already the strongest aura he has found, but this aura only reaches the seventh level, not even the sixth level, let alone the fifth level.
Jiang Li's original plan was to find the fifth grade, directly activate the killing move left by Elder Tianxuan, and give him a shot of justice from the sky to completely eliminate this stumbling block. Although this is a bit overkill and a waste of a trump card, it is the simplest and most direct way to break the situation.
Apart from your support, let’s see what else you can do.
Since you want to take action, you must use the power of plowing the court to clear out the hole, rather than waiting until the end before being forced to commit the killing move.
As a result, Wupin of the Qishan Jiang family was not at home.
'Tough luck for you. '
Jiang Li's eyes became cold, and he walked towards the main house as if his whole body was floating.
Since the fifth grade is not there and there is no sixth grade, there is no need to worry too much, just kill all the seventh grade you see.
You can't get rid of your reliance, but it doesn't matter if you get rid of your support.
The third update is completed.
