Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

The silver moon hung high, its light bright and pure.

Jiang Baiye, clad in white, otherworldly as if dust-free, carried the Divine Sword on her back. The cool, tender moonlight adorned her, ethereal as if untouched by the mundane world, resembling a Fairy descending from her moon palace, dreamlike and illusory—a breathtakingly beautiful scene. “Why did that bastard Han Li move to Yonchang Manor?”

In the distance, Chengsheng Mountain came into view, and Jiang Baiye’s expression grew complex as she lightly bit her red lips.

During her time at Canghai Sect, she had kept tabs on the Han Mansion’s relocation, eventually learning it had settled at Chengsheng Mountain within Yonchang Manor.

The spiritual energy at Yonchang Manor was thin, the poorest among the twenty-eight provinces of Yuanzhou, and Chengsheng Mountain was the place where the energy was most sparse in the manor.

Han Li liked to take advantage, so why would he choose Chengsheng Mountain as the Han Mansion’s cultivation site? Was it really because there was less trouble?

Or was there another hidden reason?

Mind flashing with thoughts, Jiang Baiye let out a sigh in her heart, knowing that pondering these matters was futile. Once she arrived at Chengsheng Mountain, some things would not be able to be concealed from her.

Soon, Jiang Baiye flew into Yonchang Manor, her exquisite brows immediately furrowing slightly.

“The spiritual energy is even worse than I expected.”

Jiang Baiye sighed, but she did not stop moving and continued toward

Chengsheng Mountain, eventually descending at the foot of the mountain.

She knew that bastard Han Li had surely noticed her presence but had yet to show himself. She wondered what kind of trickery he was planning.

“This guy really is willing to invest heavily.”

The figure, cold and peerless, stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing up at Chengsheng Mountain with a flicker of shock in her eyes.

Her Spiritual Sense swarmed forth, taking in the entire Chengsheng Mountain, and she noticed that a large Spirit Gathering Array had been set up over it, apparently of the seventh grade.

The spiritual energy outside Chengsheng Mountain was much thinner than reported, but within the mountain, it was much denser, reaching the standard of a normal manor.

Chengsheng Mountain was not small at all, stretching over seven hundred li in length and more than two hundred li in width. To cover such a range with a

Spirit Gathering Array would require an astronomical number of Spirit Stones.

A normal seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Array could only cover an area five li in radius and would need two hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones. To cover Chengsheng Mountain, it would take possibly tens of millions of Spirit Stones. Where did that bastard Han Li get so many?

Her Canghai Sect belonged to the Myriad Phenomena Realm forces, one of the

Ten Major Sects; their mountain gate was much larger than Chengsheng Mountain, yet they only set up an Eighth Grade Spirit Gathering Array, with higher grade arrays arranged only in certain key areas.

Jiang Baiye was somewhat familiar with Chengsheng Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array—it seemed to be the same Formation Han Li used the first time he captured her, and it was quite powerful.

“He knew I was coming,” Jiang Baiye huffed coldly, somewhat displeased that Han Li had not shown himself yet.

Her cultivation might be strong, but she still couldn’t peek inside Chengsheng Mountain; evidently, that bastard deliberately allowed her to see that much.

The enhanced version of the Five Elements Life and Death Formation on Chengsheng Mountain operated continuously, obscuring the interior from the outside world. One could only see the formerly magnificent scenery of the mountain but not the state of the Han Mansion within, nor the richness of the spiritual energy.

Before moving, the Han Family was just a small clan, surviving in a minor county without the need to constantly operate formations, as no Cultivator above the Gangyuan Realm really cared about them.

After moving, everyone knew the Han Family was an Immortal Refining Clan, and many were secretly scanning with their Spiritual Sense, seeking to understand the situation inside Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li certainly did not want the details of the Han Family to be fully exposed. He had created numerous Spirit Fields, some of immense value, and did not wish places like Chengdao Peak to be spied upon.

Operating the Mountain Protection Array constantly would consume a large amount of Spirit Stones, but the Han Mansion could afford that expense—the necessary protective measures could not be neglected.

Atop Chengdao Peak, Han Li kept a close watch on Jiang Baiye.

He had even employed his Spiritual Sense to shield her from others, preventing anyone from seeing her.

Just as Jiang Baiye thought, Han Li did not want others to know she was visiting his place, at least not for now, else it would cause quite a bit of trouble.

Even though he was to marry Jiang Baiye, the conditions of her reception would be the same as Lu Tianxiang; he did not need to go out to meet her, just a banquet to entertain was sufficient.

He would conceal Jiang Baiye’s looks; her appearing just once would be enough. With no Cultivators of God Refining Realm present, who would dare to peer intentionally?

That would be courting death!

The outside world only knew that the Han Family’s ancestor had taken a wife, but not who the bride was. Even if they were curious, they would not deliberately seek the truth.

“Jiang Baiye, you’ve really made me wait.”

Han Li’s figure flashed, appearing beside Jiang Baiye, wrapping around her delicate waist, then returning to the peak of Chengdao.

“You…”

Just as Jiang Baiye reacted, she found herself on the main peak. After thinking for a moment and not taking action, she let Han Li hold her.

“I haven’t broken my oath,” Jiang Baiye huffed coldly.

Han Li nodded slightly, and with a thought, he retracted the psychic seed from Jiang Baiye’s mind.

Jiang Baiye immediately sensed it, breathed a sigh of relief; without the psychic seed, she could finally recall certain things.

“So direct? This isn’t like you,” Jiang Baiye said with a blink, curiously asking.

She Imew quite a lot about Han Li. According to his usual way of doing things, he shouldn’t have retracted the psychic seed this early.

“There’s no need,” Han Li said indifferently.

Jiang Baiye had proven through her actions that she was trustworthy, adhering faithfully to her oath, and Han Li was not one to be overly rigid.

Moreover, with his True Martial Realm combat ability, capable of blasting

Prince Wu’an, what waves could Jiang Baiye, in the late stage of God Refining Realm, possibly create? After all, Han Li’s Spiritual Sense constantly covered Han Mansion, to prevent any powerful individuals from secretly infiltrating.

“Hmm-” Jiang Baiye hummed lightly, a faint sense of fondness arising in her heart for Han Li’s approach..
