Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1738: Chapter 882: Super Rank_3

The last person is a female disciple named Duanmu Xue, from the Wanxiao Sect. Her appearance is simple yet elegant, and her demeanor is stern, not good at speaking, but her Divine Sense is rather profound.

In the hearts of several Family Heads, they have long been aware of these disciples.

After all, disciples with a specialty in Formations cannot be unknown; they are the ”hot cakes” in the eyes of various forces.

But truly wanting to establish some connection with these Heaven’s Chosen Sons is not that easy.

After all, ”wolves are many and meat is scant,” and unknown numbers of families, like Hungry Wolves, fix their eyes on these dazzling Heavenly Prides.

Though Wenren and Shangguan are fifth-grade families, they do not have much competitiveness either.

And the Gu Family, even less so.

Gu Shouyan could only sit and watch.

Such Formation geniuses from the Four Great Sects are related to him, a fourth-grade family barely scratching the fifth-grade threshold, with a network of a ”clear stream” Gu Family, almost not at all.

Outside the Four Great Sects, there are also some disciples with good Formation talents.

But comparing them with the top Heavenly Prides of the Four Great Sects, they clearly pale in comparison.

Nevertheless, they are not the top but still first-rate.

First-rate genius is also a genius, not to be underestimated.

Wenren Jingxuan and Shang Che both silently selected candidates in their hearts, planning to have someone bring some gifts to these Formation Heavenly Prides afterward, establishing a good relationship, and forging a favorable connection.

Both are Feather Transformation, with powerful Divine Sense, after scanning the area slightly, they already have a rough idea.

And the assessment of Seventeen Patterns is still ongoing, unable to end shortly.

Several Family Heads slightly relaxed, starting to drink tea and chat.

Wenren Jingxuan glanced and saw his daughter Wenren Wan, sitting with Yu Er at the far edge of the high platform, seemingly somewhat estranged from the other members of the Shangguan Family, and immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart.

This daughter has been treated preciously by him from a young age.

But after marrying into the Shangguan Family, clearly she is not living happily.

Wenren Jingxuan slightly squinted his eyes and said, ”Brother Shangguan, my little daughter married into the Shangguan Family, I wonder if she has caused any trouble?”

Shang Che replied indifferently, ”Wan’er is compliant and gentle, she has not caused any trouble.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle sounded.

The laughter was from the green-clothed female Elder from the Shen Family.

Wenren Jingxuan frowned.

Yet before he could say anything, an Elder Feathered Immortal from the Shangguan Family reprimanded that female elder:

”Family Head meeting, silence is required.”

This Elder Feathered Immortal, named Shangguan Wang, had deep law-pattern lines and was the Powerful Elders of the Shangguan Family, even had once competed with Shang Che for the position of Family Head.

Even in failure, his lineage’s influence in the Shangguan Family remains significant.

Shangguan Wang feigned reprimand, actually with a pointed hint saying: ”Mind the occasion, say what you have to say back later.”

The female Elder whispered, ”Yes...”

Wenren Jingxuan raised an eyebrow, couldn’t fail to see their intentions, ”Elder Wang, did my daughter commit any mistake?”

Shangguan Wang looked troubled.

Wenren Jingxuan said, ”Elder Wang, just speak freely.”

Shangguan Wang’s gaze slightly deepened, then said, ”If talking about serious mistakes, not really, but the Young Madam, a bit self-willed indeed...”

”As a daughter-in-law of the Shangguan Family, she spends all her time at the Gu Family. She indulges the direct lineage Young Master Yu too much, not sure what her intentions are, she even raised him in the Taixu Gate.”

”In managing businesses, there are quite a few bad debts under her charge.”

”Privately embezzled quite a few Spirit Stones.”

”Her actions are not very steady, also failed to fulfill her duties as a wife to Mr. Yi...”

He then recited Wenren Wan’s misconducts, exaggerating them.

Some are indeed true, but most of them, like managing businesses, embezzling Spirit Stones, are merely a distortion of common occurrences of temporary profit and loss, Spirit Stone turnover into faults.

Occasional discord between spouses also became others’ gossip fodder.

Other Shangguan Family members, especially those close to Shangguan Wang, joined in agreement.

Wenren Wan couldn’t defend herself, her face went pale.

Wenren Jingxuan furrowed his brow tightly.

”Those are not the most severe...” Shangguan Wang remained calm, sighed, but his gaze harbored sharpness, saying:

”The most outrageous, is a few years back, she coaxed Mr. Yi to use a great deal of the Shangguan Family’s connections, to forcibly insert an unrelated disciple into the Eight Great Gates.”

”These connections belong to the Shangguan Family, but the person inserted into the Eight Great Gates, not only had no relation to the Shangguan Family, but also to the Wenren Family and even the Gu Family.”

”This matter is really indefensible.”

The slot in the Eight Great Gates is extremely precious.

Wenren Wan put Mo Hua into the Eight Great Gates, the favor expended, the benefits paid, were actually more than Mo Hua imagined.

More importantly, Mo Hua’s talents actually fell far short of the threshold to enter the Taixu Gate.

This outcome resulted in spending even more favors.

And these, Wenren Wan, fearing Mo Hua would have psychological burdens, never mentioned before him.

But these benefits were sliced from the Shangguan Family.

Originally, with proper maneuvering, relying on these favors, two, even three disciples of slightly lesser talents in the Shangguan Family could have been sent into the Eight Great Gates.

Now all those slots are gone.

That is the Eight Great Gates! It is a first-rate sect of the Qian Learning State Boundary, an opportunity many cultivators could long for throughout their lifetimes, yet untouchable.

Thus, it was handed over like this.

This matter secretly offended too many members of the Shangguan Family.

Thereafter, Wenren Wan was even less favored by the Shangguan Family.

These events, Wenren Jingxuan only heard of briefly, but did not understand.

He is the Family Head, managing many affairs.

Furthermore, Wan’er married into the Shangguan Family, and the Wenren Family always had strained relations with the Shangguan Family, making it inconvenient for him to inquire further.
