Chapter 633 The Excited Jiang Erye
"Erye, this is an emergency distress signal; we must rush over immediately!"
Outside the Young Patriarch's residence, a trusted aide saw the signal in the sky and hurriedly said to Jiang Erye beside him.
"Humph!"
Jiang Erye snorted coldly: "Today, Eldest Brother got lucky, but thinking he can escape the fate of being exiled like this is simply a fool's dream. Follow me!"
He dared not delay in the slightest; emergency distress was no joking matter. If the city gates were suddenly breached, his status would likely not be preserved, and capturing Eldest Brother would be of no avail.
At the city gate, the Guard Captain looked at the carriage, and the worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest. If the Eldest Grandson Lord were to perish before their eyes, he would not be able to escape the blame. He did not know what this Eldest Grandson Lord was thinking, to actually rush to his death.
If you want to seek death, that is fine, but why do it at the city gate? Could you not go elsewhere?
Inside the carriage, Jiang Yan had just fed a pill to Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen when he felt something was wrong. A terrifying aura surged toward his body; he glanced at the source, and his fingers were already stained with the plague.
"I didn't expect this plague to be so terrifying; no wonder Grandfather and the Grand Priest expelled all those people from the city, letting them fend for themselves in Red Maple Valley."
Jiang Yan muttered this, then immediately mobilized the spiritual power within his body. When his spiritual power touched these plague auras, the plague on his fingertips stopped spreading and was suppressed by the spiritual power.
However, suppression alone was not enough. If he could not thoroughly eliminate this plague, once the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, the plague would spread again.
His subconscious reaction was to slice open his fingers and then force the plague out of his body.
But soon, Jiang Yan dismissed this idea. He wanted to see if his spiritual power could completely purify the plague.
A divine light radiated from Jiang Yan. When he was at the Asking Dao Sect, he had awakened the Jade Pure Divine Body. In his Master's words, the Jade Pure Divine Light could resolve all toxins and diseases in the world; he would use this plague to test it first.
Sure enough, as his Jade Pure Divine Body activated, the plague on his hand vanished instantly without a trace.
Under the shroud of the Jade Pure Divine Light, the complexions of Aunt and Little Thirteen also visibly improved.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Jiang Yan's mouth rose slightly: I have finally found a way to break the plague. In this way, the crisis of the Sky Fire Tribe can be easily resolved.
He continued to mobilize the divine light, intending to cure Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen sooner. As his divine light radiated, the entire carriage was shrouded in divine light.
Everyone who had been kneeling beside the carriage saw this scene and was stunned on the spot.
The Guard Captain muttered: "This... what is this light?"
Just as he was astonished, the city gates opened. Accompanied by a rumble of footsteps, Jiang Erye led his army out of the city gates. When they saw the carriage shrouded in divine light, they also froze in place.
Jiang Erye did not know why, but looking at that strange carriage, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He said to the Guard Captain kneeling on the ground: "Huhuo, why did you send the signal?"
Hearing this, the Guard Captain hurriedly stood up and said: "In response to General, the Eldest Grandson Lord entered the carriage carrying people with the plague. This subordinate dared not conceal it and sent a message to notify the lords in the city immediately."
Such a good thing exists. Jiang Erye did not expect that leading his army to the city gate would allow him to encounter such a wonderful event.
Compared to his eldest brother, this nephew Jiang Yan was his true rival for the position of Patriarch. Previously expelling eldest brother's family was merely to deal a heavy blow to Jiang Yan. If Jiang Yan did not even have a home, what would he use to fight against him?
But now, everything is unnecessary. Jiang Yan being infected with the plague is a certainty.
It seems the Fire God is also on my side, Jiang Lie.
At the same time, several figures flew to the top of the city wall. They saw Jiang Erye leading a large army watching at the city gate. One of the priests asked: "Ah Lie, what exactly has happened?"
Jiang Erye saw the person asking, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was hard to suppress. He suppressed his laughter and said: "In response to Third Uncle, Little Yan disregarded the obstruction of the city guards and boarded Sixth Sister-in-law and Little Thirteen's carriage without authorization. At this moment, I fear he has already been infected with the plague."
"Is this true?"
The Second Priest looked at the divine light emitting from the carriage, his brows tightly furrowed. He had only seen this kind of light on the Witch God. Why would it appear on this carriage?
Could it be that Ah Yan has obtained the Witch God's inheritance?
Jiang Erye saw that Third Uncle did not speak and continued: "Third Uncle, although Ah Yan is the future Patriarch of our Sky Fire Tribe, he is now infected with the plague. I suggest we burn the carriage right here to prevent this matter from bringing a bad influence to our Sky Fire Tribe."
Before the Second Priest could speak, Jiang Yan's majestic voice came from within the carriage: "Second Uncle, who told you I am infected with the plague?"
This voice also carried the pressure of the Soul Nurturing Realm, causing even Jiang Erye, a Spirit Condensation powerhouse, to be wary. This kid has only been away from home for three years, why has he become so powerful?
This child must absolutely not be kept; otherwise, in the future, I will simply be no match for him!
"Ah Yan, are you alright?"
Hearing Jiang Yan's voice, the Second Priest instantly revealed a joyful look and turned his gaze toward the carriage.
"Third Grandfather, please wait a moment. I am currently treating Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen. Within half an hour, the plague on their bodies will be dispelled."
Jiang Yan's voice suddenly became very gentle and respectful, completely different from when he confronted Jiang Erye earlier, giving people a feeling like bathing in a spring breeze.
"You!"
Jiang Erye knew very well that this kid was deliberately targeting him, but with Third Uncle here, he simply could not make a move.
The Second Priest said: "Very well, I will give you half an hour. However, I must notify the Grand Priest and your grandfather about this matter."
"Yes."
Jiang Yan responded and continued treating Sixth Aunt and Little Thirteen. In his view, half an hour was completely unnecessary. He only wanted to further confirm the effect and medicinal power of his divine light, which was why he asked for a bit more time.
As time passed, the high-level members of the Sky Fire Tribe, as well as Jiang Yan's father, the weak Young Patriarch, all appeared on the city wall.
After hearing the Second Priest's account, everyone had different expressions on their faces. The Young Patriarch was clenching his back teeth, thinking: Ah Yan, you are confused. Why did you do such a ridiculous thing? If an aunt and a sister die, they die; why involve your own life as well? If you are gone, how will our family survive?
The Patriarch and the Grand Priest, however, stared unblinkingly at the divine light. After a while, the two began to communicate using spiritual consciousness.
"Grand Priest, look, is that on the carriage divine light?"
"Correct, it is indeed divine light. The only difference is that the divine light on the carriage is completely different from what we have seen before. I wonder which Witch God's inheritance Ah Yan obtained?"
"As long as it's not the Water God, that's good. If it were the Water God's inheritance, we wouldn't be able to protect Ah Yan either."
Just as the two were communicating via spiritual consciousness, the divine light on the carriage also dissipated.
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on the carriage. Accompanied by a creaking sound, the carriage door opened. Jiang Yan was seen holding his sister's hand and supporting his aunt as they slowly walked down from the carriage.
Everyone present froze seeing this scene. The Young Patriarch even blurted out in ecstasy: "Little Thirteen is cured, Little Thirteen is really cured! Father, the plague in our Sky Fire Tribe can be cured!"
No one knew Little Thirteen's situation better than him. Previously, when Little Thirteen was sent out of the residence, she was unconscious. Let alone walking, even breathing had become a problem. Now she appeared before him safe and sound; without guessing, he knew Jiang Yan had succeeded!
The people around heard the Young Patriarch's exclamation and joy, and reacted belatedly.
If what the Young Patriarch said was true, then they would not have to worry about the plague anymore, and their families would not have to be driven to Red Maple Valley.
The Patriarch interrupted his son with a majestic face and asked: "Ah Shuo, is what you said not false?"
The Young Patriarch hurriedly said: "This son would never dare to deceive Father. Please investigate, Father."
"Hmm."
The Patriarch spoke, scanning Little Thirteen's body with his spiritual consciousness, then said: "The plague on Little Thirteen has indeed been cleared. It seems my Sky Fire Tribe has found a way to eliminate the plague."
As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of cheers erupted inside and outside the city gate.
"Fire, fire, fire!"
Jiang Erye was dumbfounded seeing this scene. He never expected that he had victory within his grasp, so why did the situation reverse in an instant? Even the soldiers behind him were shouting for Jiang Yan.
He was unwilling to fail like this, so he hardened his scalp and said: "Father, you cannot listen to Eldest Brother's one-sided words. We did not see Ah Yan eliminate the plague with our own eyes, so how can we be certain he truly has a method to eliminate the plague?"
As the words fell, the whole place fell silent. The gaze of everyone present fell upon Jiang Yan...
