Chapter 675: Bloodlines ban

Chapter 675: Bloodlines ban

Speaking of Meng Zhang, he, Xu Mengying, and Extreme Sword Spirit General rushed all the way and quickly arrived near Maple Leaf Mountain City. The area where the magic disaster broke out was originally the fringe of the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, which could be considered as the remnant veins of the Grand Crossing Mountain Range. The straight-line distance from Maple Leaf Mountain City was not too far.

The three Gold Core Daoist Masters rushed at full speed and didn't take too much time on the road. Maple Leaf Mountain City is located among the mountains, surrounded by steep terrain and difficult mountain roads. Strictly speaking, this mountainous area should not belong to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range. However, it has always been regarded as part of the remnant veins of the Grand Crossing Mountain Range.

In between the tallest mountains, Maple Leaf Mountain City was built. There are many cultivators and ordinary people living in the sloping land and surrounding valleys. A short distance to the east from this place is the edge of the Black Jade Forest.

Therefore, over the years, Maple Leaf Mountain City and the surrounding cultivation forces have always been plagued by attacks from the demon beasts of the Black Jade Forest. Fortunately, the edge of the Black Jade Forest is also considered remote to truly powerful demon beasts. Only some unlucky individuals who offend their own kind or those who escaped to this place seeking survival or were exiled here end up living here. These demon beasts have limited strength and numbers. With the cooperation of Maple Leaf Mountain City and the surrounding cultivation forces, they have been able to suppress the situation and repel these invading demon beasts time and again. They can even take advantage of their victories and venture into the Black Jade Forest.

Of course, due to the fearsome power of the strong demon beasts in the Black Jade Forest, they do not dare to venture deep into the forest, only lingering on the outskirts to gain some minor advantages and obtain cultivation resources.

Maple Leaf Mountain City has been rooted in this area for many years and is considered a local force by the surrounding cultivation forces. Even some of the cultivation forces in the vicinity cannot match the history of Maple Leaf Mountain City.

Xu Mengying is able to grasp the recent changes in Maple Leaf Mountain City and even sell the information to Meng Zhang because she naturally has her sources.

After the three arrived in the mountain area where Maple Leaf Mountain City is located, they landed on a deserted hill. After landing, Xu Mengying didn't waste any time and directly took out an incense stick, igniting it with real fire. Once the incense stick was burning, Xu Mengying held it in her hand and waited silently.

Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General remained silent, allowing Xu Mengying to act as she pleased. All three of them were very patient, and even in this silent waiting, they showed no signs of impatience.

After waiting for about an hour or so, a middle-aged woman flew over from a distance. It seemed she sensed the guidance of the incense stick and flew directly to this location, landing in front of everyone.

As soon as she landed, the middle-aged woman respectfully saluted Xu Mengying, "I, Xu Jiao, pay my respects to the Saintess."

When Maple Leaf Mountain City was first established, the former Saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect used a secret technique to leave a bloodline ban on the ancestors of the Jiang Family. This bloodline ban gradually spread among a significant portion of the Jiang Family's descendants, the true rulers and elites of the family.

This bloodline ban manifested outwardly as a unique bloodline inheritance exclusive to the Jiang Family. Due to this inheritance, a higher proportion of Jiang Family descendants awakened their spiritual roots, became stronger in the Refining Qi stage, and had an easier time advancing to the Foundation Building stage.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything. Because of this bloodline inheritance, it became nearly impossible for the Jiang Family's cultivators to advance to the Gold Core stage.

Despite the imperfections, the means employed by the former Saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect were almost perfect for handling the Jiang Family, given her limits as a mere Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

The purpose of this bloodline ban was not merely to strengthen the lower-level Jiang Family cultivators; it was to completely control the Jiang Family. By employing the secret techniques of the Saintess lineage, all Jiang Family cultivators with this bloodline could be manipulated, forced to live or die at the whim of others.

Even the former Saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect could not lift this bloodline ban, let alone other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. The Jiang Family is so revered that even a Primordial Spirit True Monarch would hardly be allowed to interact with them, let alone others.

As the lives of the family's elites were entirely under the control of others, the Jiang Family became the most loyal to the Yellow Lotus Sect.

In reality, the Jiang Family also gained many benefits from this bloodline ban. Though they lack Gold Core Daoist Masters, the Jiang Family occupies a significant middle-level position within Maple Leaf Mountain City, with a large number of Foundation Building stage cultivators and decent combat strength.

Over the years, the Jiang Family has secured many mid-level and key positions within Maple Leaf Mountain City. The Jiang Family cultivators have become the backbone of the sect and an essential support for the entire sect.
