The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

36: Chapter 36 The Jiang Family Undergoes Tremendous Changes”He won’t do; he can’t even last one move.”

Jiang Chen said again, as if it were a matter of course.

”Big brother, great god, please carry me!”

At this moment, the frivolous Young City Lord instantly transformed into a little fanboy.

”Get lost!”

Seeing this, Huangfu Jinyuan was suddenly filled with rage and directly blasted Huangfu Shenghua out of the hall.

”You old geezer, just you wait! I’ll have Mother tell you not to get into bed tonight!”

From outside the hall, Huangfu Shenghua’s voice drifted in from afar. Huangfu Jinyuan’s face turned blue and purple, and he almost couldn’t catch his breath.

Seeing this scene of ”filial piety” and ”fatherly love,” Jiang Chen felt that the trip was worthwhile.

”I’ve made a fool of myself before you.”

Seeing Jiang Chen still there, Huangfu Jinyuan said somewhat awkwardly.

”It’s fine, it’s fine. Lord City Lord, if I participate in this so-called Qingfeng Martial Meet, what can you give me?”

Jiang Chen asked. Actually, whether he participated or not didn’t affect him much. The main point was that there were still two months left; if the benefits were good enough, he was confident he could add a few more Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to the Jiang Family in that time.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was someone who wouldn’t act without seeing the benefits, Huangfu Jinyuan felt helpless.

”There are rewards for those who place in the top hundred. The top three can even obtain Medicinal Pills for breaking through Realms. For example, the top three in the Qi Refinement Stage can get a foundation establishment pill, the top three in the Foundation Establishment Realm can get a condensing gold pill, and the top three in the Golden Core stage can even get a nascent soul condensation pill.”

Huangfu Jinyuan had no choice but to list the tournament rewards. Although Jiang Chen was a Genius who could kill Gu Songnian, who was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, while only at the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment, every participant in the martial meet was a dragon or phoenix among men, and some could even kill enemies across Realms.

He didn’t expect Jiang Chen to take first place; as long as he could enter the top hundred, he, as the recommender, would also receive some benefits, perhaps even giving him hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

”Well, I’ll go back and think about it. You know, my Jiang Family’s primary task right now is wasteland reclamation. If we neglect that because of the martial meet, it wouldn’t be easy to explain, right?”

Jiang Chen didn’t agree immediately. He was thinking about how to boost the Family’s strength in these two months and then fleece the martial meet for all it was worth.

”The Yuan Kingdom grants immunity to families participating in the martial meet. During the tournament, pioneering families can take a temporary break and return to the city for supplies. If they perform excellently in the martial meet, it’s a good thing for the Family, and they might even be exempted from their wasteland reclamation tasks.”

Huangfu Jinyuan said again.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen thought it was a great deal. If they took first place, the Jiang Family wouldn’t have to worry about danger in the Great Wilderness at all times.

But soon, he shook his head. That was impossible; his System was a Wasteland Reclamation System. If he stopped reclaiming the wasteland and the System ignored him, he’d be finished.

”We’ll see. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Looking at the sky, it was already afternoon. If he didn’t leave now, he wouldn’t make it back to the Jiang Clans ancestral land before dark.

”Alright, then. This is a sound transmission stone. Take it; you can contact me if anything comes up.”

After saying that, Huangfu Jinyuan handed Jiang Chen a stone.

Jiang Chen took it and looked at the sound transmission stone in his hand. He knew that after being refined by an Artifact Refiner, this kind of stone could transmit sound to another one over long distances.

”Fine.”

Jiang Chen took it and didn’t linger, leaving the City Lord’s Mansion directly.

Just as he reached the street and was about to leave, Jiang Chen was blocked by two groups of people.

Jiang Chen looked at the two groups, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. It seemed he hadn’t killed enough at the market earlier.

”Clan Leader Jiang, I am Ding Longkui, the head of the Ding Family. I am deeply sorry for my ancestor’s previous actions. I have brought the Ding Clan Members here to apologize. These are all of the Ding Family’s assets; I only hope Clan Leader Jiang can spare my Ding Family.”

After saying this, Ding Longkui handed Jiang Chen a storage ring.

Jiang Chen took it and saw the mountain of resources inside the storage ring. Although they were all Qi Refining Stage resources, it was clear that the Ding Family had truly paid a heavy price.

The Qian Family on the other side did the same, their storage ring stuffed to the brim.

In the morning, Jiang Chen had killed the Gu Family’s Old Ancestor with a single sword strike at the market, and then wiped out all the Gu Family’s high-level members with another.

When they first received the news, they were stunned, followed by sheer terror.

One must know that the Gu Family was like an elephant in Tianfeng City, while they were merely ants. Now, someone who could kill an elephant had appeared before them, and they had even offended him before.

Looking at the rings full of resources, this unexpected windfall was truly gratifying.

To be honest, he didn’t even know who these two families were. Of the three who had chased him initially, besides Gu Tiande, he didn’t know the other two at all and hadn’t bothered to ask, simply resolving it with a sword.

And the Gu Family was dealt with because they had repeatedly caused trouble for him, so he had directly eliminated their high-level members.

Now that the Gu Family had no high-level members to lead them, leaving only ordinary Clan Members with low cultivation, they would soon be devoured by other families in Tianfeng City.

”Fine, I’ll take them. You may leave.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand indifferently, signaling them to leave, indicating he wouldn’t pursue the matter further.

Seeing Jiang Chen accept the gifts, Ding Longkui and the other man were overjoyed and took their leave. Unlike their previous expressions of worry, both parties were now beaming with relief.

Jiang Chen didn’t take the Ding and Qian families to heart. As for concerns about letting the tiger return to the mountain or pulling up roots, those two families would never be able to catch up to him.

If those two families dared to cause him trouble again, he wouldn’t mind harvesting another round of ”leeks.”

In a great mood, Jiang Chen left Tianfeng City and had a smooth journey back to the Jiang Clans ancestral land on Qingyun Mountain.

At this moment, all the Jiang Family Clansmen were gathered in the square. Upon Jiang Chen’s arrival, they all bowed in greeting.

”Clan Chief.”

”Clan Chief.”

The Grand Elder and Second Elder stepped forward to salute. Jiang Chen saw that both had already broken through to the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, and their auras weren’t fluctuating noticeably, meaning they had already stabilized their cultivation.

”Very good. Grand Elder, these are the Materials for building the market. Tomorrow, lead the Clan Members to begin construction.”

After saying this, Jiang Chen handed the five Storage Pouches filled with Spiritual Materials to Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting.

The Grand Elder took them, and seeing the five Storage Pouches stuffed with Spiritual Materials, his old face showed excitement; this was simply too much.

”Second Elder, since you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, starting tomorrow, you will also lead the First Squad of the War Hall to begin clearing the area around Qingyun Mountain. Remember, if you encounter an irresistible danger, retreat immediately.”

Jiang Chen said, looking at Second Elder Jiang Liejun.

”Yes, Clan Chief.”

The Second Elder saluted respectfully.

”What is the current cultivation level of the Disciples in the Family?”

Jiang Chen asked again.

”Clan Chief, with the resources you provided, besides the Second Elder and me who are in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the other three Elders have all broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Additionally, there is 1 person at the eighth level of Qi Refining, 12 at the seventh level, 25 at the sixth level, 23 at the fifth level, and 1 at the fourth level. Currently, our lowest are at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and in a few days, that last person will be able to break through again.”

After finishing, Jiang Xuanting could no longer control his excitement. The current foundation of the Jiang Family had already far surpassed all the Foundation Establishment families in Tianlin City. If they returned to Tianlin City, the Jiang Family would have hope of becoming the number one Family there.
