nd took out their pills to begin healing their injuries.While Jiang Yun entrusted the task of guarding to Han Mingyi Bat, he himself walked to the side of the unconscious ghost-faced man."Bai Ze, do y...The white-haired man, carrying the Dao Tianyou, completely merged into the flame stone tablet and disappeared from Dao Wuming's sight.

Even, even that stone tablet was blown apart, reforming into countless blossoms of flame, scattering into the river of fire.

The Dao stood nameless but remained in place, his eyes fixed on where the fiery stone tablet had been. In his mind, he recalled the three words the man had spoken as he left.

"A single lamp…"

Although the mind of one who has attained enlightenment is incredibly profound, at this moment, it is simply impossible to imagine what kind of lamp could be the key to opening the Ginger Clan Channel.

After a long time, Dao Wuming finally came to his senses. He let out a long breath, his gaze still fixed on the spot where the stone tablet had disappeared, a look of relief washing over his face.

Whether he could find the key to open this channel was no longer important to him.

After all, he originally only wanted to send Daitian You into the Jiang family, and he didn't plan on going with him.

After all these years, my wish has finally come true, and the outcome is even better than I had ever imagined.

With the protection of that white-haired man, Dao Tianyou will be even safer within the Jiang family. No one will suspect his identity.

He will bear the name Jiang Yun, and in the Jiang family lineage, he will establish his roots, practicing their techniques, gradually increasing his strength until he becomes a celestial master!

By the time Dao Tianyou returns, it will be the day when father and son are proud and respected.

Yearning for a beautiful future, Dao Wuming turned and left with a satisfied smile.

But throughout it all, he had never once considered what his son must be feeling at this moment!

On the battlefield outside the domain, the old man of cause and effect watched Dao Wu Ming's figure leave, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Because, the moment the white-haired man appeared, his spiritual consciousness was shrouded by an inexplicable force, preventing him from seeing the white-haired man.

However, seeing Dao Wuming leave alone made him realize that Dao Tianyou had clearly successfully entered the Jiang family lineage!

The old man of cause and effect couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself, "He actually did it!"

"It must have been a powerful person who just made their move, and it's very likely that they came from the Jiang clan and took Dao Tianyou!"

"Dao Tianyou impersonating Jiang Yun and entering the Jiang family, this is interesting!"

Shaking his head, the old man of cause and effect raised his head, looking towards the direction of the myriad domains, muttering: "Since Dao Wu Ming could find this passage, others must be able to find it too."

"I'm afraid that in a short time, some people who remain here in the lower realms, whether in their avatars or reincarnated forms, will begin to awaken one after another!"

But what, exactly, was the key And where is it now

Youyou let out a long sigh, and the old man of cause and effect closed his eyes.

——

In the chaotic Cloud Realm, which Jiang Qiuge had opened up within the mythical realm of mountains and seas, three individuals looked at each other, each seeing bewilderment and confusion on the others' faces.

Before, the ginger cloud emanating from Jiang Yun had melted away the illusory flames on the man's fingertips. They all three hadn't seen it, so naturally they didn't understand why the man would inexplicably let them go.

Especially Ginger Yuting, she was very clear about the personality of that man in white. She knew he wasn't someone who would give up easily.

Although she managed to pick out the red dot on her eyebrow, if the other party was truly determined to take her back to the Ginger family, there would still be a way.

The other party just let her off the hook, which she really couldn't understand. She was completely baffled as to what had happened!

Finally, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but ask, "Yu Ting, who was that person just now"

But before his words could even fall, Jiang Yun immediately followed up with: "If you're not comfortable saying it, just don't answer."

Ginger Yun is truly worried about Ginger Yu Ting's body, whether there might still be a divine consciousness left behind by some other member of the Ginger clan.

If one more person comes out, let alone Jiang Yuting can't bear it, even Jiang Qiumei and I won't be able to bear it.

At this point, Ginger Yuting's expression relaxed instead. She said, "Anyway, I've already said so much, what's the harm in saying a little more"

"It's just..."

Jiang Yuting cast a somewhat apologetic glance at Jiang Yun before continuing, "It's just that some things involve secrets of the Jiang family line, and I still can't say them."

It's not that I don't want to say it, but I simply can't.

Ginger Yun nodded in understanding. "I understand. I'm not interested in any secrets of the Ginger family, I just want to know who that person was just now."

Then, Jiang Yuting spoke up: "He's a member of the Elder Council and a standout among the collateral branches of the Jiang family. His name is Jiang Jingxi."

"My uncle and my father's father are the same generation, so I should call him uncle."

Hearing the other party's identity, both Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiuge's faces showed surprise.

Because in both of their imaginations, those who could enter the Elder Council should all be venerable elders with great age and respect.

However, that Jiang Jingxi, being only one generation older than Jiang Yuting, was able to become a member of the Elders' Council!

Ginger Yuting naturally understood the confusion in the two people's hearts, and quickly explained: "Most of the members of our Ginger clan's Elder Council are composed of collateral relatives."

The objective is to check the power of the clan and prevent a single family from becoming dominant and wielding absolute authority.

Although Uncle Jingxi wasn't high-ranking in the entire Jiang family, he was the highest-ranking among his branch of the family.

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud's eyes flashed, and she directly asked, "Grand Elder expelled my father from the clan. The real reason is that it was because of a power struggle between the direct line and collateral line for the position of Clan Leader, isn't it"

The dispute between direct and collateral relatives is common among various ethnic groups and is nothing new.

After all, "being direct and straightforward" is the true representation of a group.

Any collateral relative would not always be content with being merely a collateral relative; everyone wants to become the legitimate heir.

So, in Jiang Yun's view, wasn't his father driven out because he was too flamboyant or his talents were too outstanding, which aroused the jealousy of others, making it easier for them to seize power.

However, Jiang Yuting shook her head and said: "Although I don't know why Uncle was expelled from the clan, as my brother said, this kind of possibility is extremely low."

There are two reasons for this. First, the Jiang family has been passed down for so many years and their family is so large that they couldn't possibly not have considered this.

"As for how to specifically prevent this, I'm not entirely sure. But I do know that within the Jiang family, direct and collateral relatives hold positions of complete equality."

Just as I said before, the Jiang family prioritizes seniority!

Ginger Yun nodded. Just now, Ginger Jingxi's attitude towards Ginger Yuting was indeed always the attitude of an elder to a junior.

Then Ginger Yuting continued, "As for the second reason, Big Brother, I'm saying it now, don't get angry."

Ginger lightly startled, but still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be angry."

"Only then did Jiang Yuting whisper, 'I heard my father and aunt chatting. Although Uncle's aptitude is indeed good, among the Jiang family, he can only be considered...middling.'"

Among the sixth generation, my aunt is the strongest!

And, the Jiang clan also allows women to become clan heads. So, even if it's truly a direct line and collateral branch vying for the position of clan head, the one who should be driven out should be the aunt!

As Ginger Yuting's voice fell, both Ginger Yun and Ginger Qiuge were stunned!

Even though Ginger Qiu Yang was so formidable, in the Ginger clan, he could only be considered middling.

Then, how strong would the overall strength of the Jiang clan be

They can't even imagine it!

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Yuting hurriedly said, "I'm talking about something that happened a long time ago. After I left the Jiang family, my uncle's strength must have improved again."

"He might have already exceeded Aunt's."

"Gingeryun chuckled wryly and shook her head. 'You don't need to comfort me. I don't care about my father's power in the Ginger clan.'"

"I have another question. When Ginger Jingxi said I didn't have time and should focus on improving my skills, what did that mean"oping for a stroke of luck, leaving without any explanation leaves a bitter taste in our mouths.""Therefore, I hope Elder Xie can tell us the standard for passing this test so that we who lost can acc...
