"Immortal Great Emperor is none other than Lin Ye!"

"Lin Ye was once the second steward I promoted, the creator of the Jiang Family Night Guards!"

Within Grotto-Heaven.

Jiang Wujì's face was extremely ugly as he paced back and forth.

With the exposure of the diary of the Immortal Great Emperor, he had lost all face.

Apart from that.

Jiang Wujì thought of an even more terrifying possibility and whispered,

"Last time, Ye Xi knew about our actions as if he had inside information. I suspected that there was a traitor among us!"

"Could it be..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "This traitor, could it be from my Jiang Family?"

Currently, it seemed that this possibility was the greatest!

Jiang Wujì felt both ashamed and angry, deeply humiliated. This only confirmed the evaluation of him in the diary.

Ambitious but incompetent, extremely foolish.

Always liked to brag about controlling everything, but in reality, he couldn't control a thing.

Jiang Wujì was proud and always looked down on others.

Now he realized that even the family he ruled over still had spies. This discovery was a heavy blow to him.

However, regardless of everything.

The most important thing now was to face the facts.

"If this continues, the Jiang Family is likely to follow in the footsteps of the An Family!"

Jiang Wujì took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm.

He then slowly walked out of Grotto-Heaven.

Fifteen minutes later, in an ancient attic within the Jiang Family's territory.

All the Jiang Family members at the Body Integration stage or above, as well as some absolute core worshippers and guests, gathered here.

There were dozens of people, divided into two rows.

Everyone had a solemn expression, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

They were deeply connected to the Jiang Family. If the Jiang Family fell, they would all die together.

And now, the Jiang Family's ship had been forced into a dead end by the storm...

"Hoo—"

Jiang Wujì, with silver hair, stood at the head, his face calm again as he scanned the room with his gaze.

"I assume everyone has read the diary!"

"The Immortal Great Emperor's scheme is clever. He wants to slander me and defame me with this dirty trick!"

Jiang Wujì said, his tone becoming serious. "But who am I, I believe everyone knows!"

"For thousands of years, under my governance, the Jiang Family has flourished, not inferior to any super sect or top sacred land!"

Many people's eyes flickered, nodding repeatedly.

Among them, a tall and fierce middle-aged man stood up and respectfully said,

"The Patriarch is the sky of our Jiang Family! He is the soul of the Jiang Family, leading the family to create one glory after another!"

"I, Chu Jiang, swear to forever follow Patriarch Wujì. Whoever dares to speak ill of the Patriarch, the Night Guards under my command will be the first to disagree!"

Chu Jiang said, then immediately knelt down with his tall figure.

He devoutly kowtowed to Jiang Wujì, prostrating himself.

This scene made everyone present unable to remain silent any longer, and they all expressed their support!

"That's right! Patriarch Wujì's contributions to the family are evident!"

"The Immortal Great Emperor's conspiracy will not succeed. The whole world may not believe in Patriarch Wujì, but we do!"

"No matter what he writes, we don't believe it!"

"Support the Patriarch!"

"I never expected the Immortal Great Emperor to be so despicable, resorting to such lowly means."

Chu Jiang suddenly stood up from the ground, roaring, "Find the Immortal Great Emperor and I will fight him one-on-one!"

The originally noisy hall fell silent.

"Hahaha!"

All eyes focused on Chu Jiang, their faces twitching as they burst into laughter.

"Cough!"

Jiang Wujì couldn't bear to watch anymore and waved his hand. "Commander Chu has good intentions, I am grateful. Please stand aside for now!"

Chu Jiang immediately walked to the side and stood still.

Just like a dog that only knows how to obey, when the owner says go east, it dare not go west.

Jiang Wujì looked at this scene, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

His complexion also eased a bit.

In his heart, he thought, "Although Lin Ye is a spy, he is also the creator of the Night Guards. But the current Night Guards are still under my control!"

"No matter who the spy is, it can't be him!"

Chu Jiang was personally promoted by Jiang Wujì.

He was also one of the people Jiang Wujì trusted the most. Otherwise, an outsider would never be able to serve as the commander of the Jiang Family's elite force.

And what Jiang Wujì valued most was undoubtedly his loyalty.

The hall returned to silence.

Jiang Wuji's face became serious again as he said, "I called you all here today to announce something very important!"

"There may be spies within our Jiang family, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even heavier.

Regardless of what they thought, Jiang Wuji continued, "You must investigate your subordinates thoroughly!"

"At the same time, Chu Jiang will be responsible for a comprehensive investigation and must uncover any suspicious individuals."

Jiang Wuji gritted his teeth, his killing intent surging, "Better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Chu Jiang, who was standing on the side, immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Elder Ancestor is wise, Chu Jiang will not disappoint!"

"Good, follow me!"

Jiang Wuji waved his hand and instructed, "The rest of you can go back and make arrangements."

The two of them arrived at the Grotto-Heaven where Jiang Wuji lived.

The spiritual energy here was rich, and various rare and exotic plants were cultivated, with magnificent buildings in various palaces.

Jiang Wuji stood still and looked at Chu Jiang, asking, "Could there be spies among the Night Guards?"

Chu Jiang frowned and replied, "I'm not sure, but I will investigate thoroughly. However, in recent years, everyone who has entered the Night Guards has been screened by the family, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Hmm."

Jiang Wuji pondered for a moment, nodded, and asked again, "What do you think of that diary?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang's face immediately filled with anger.

"The so-called Immortal Great Emperor is pure slander. Leaving that aside, I, Chu Jiang, have always been upright and detest flattery and sycophancy..."

"But Elder Ancestor still promoted me to be the leader of the Night Guards!"

Chu Jiang spoke with excitement and cursed angrily, "It's clear that the diary is pure fabrication. Elder Ancestor is wise and unparalleled, which is known to all!"

Finally, a smile appeared on Jiang Wuji's face, and he let out a long breath.

Chu Jiang continued, "Rumors stop at the wise. I believe that even now, the situation is still under the control of Elder Ancestor!"

"What are the so-called Immortal Great Emperor, Nicholas Great Emperor, and Zitong Great Emperor? They are nothing more than ants in front of Elder Ancestor!"

Jiang Wuji felt relieved both physically and mentally, his blood boiling, and nodded, "Well said, but such words sound like flattery!"

"Don't say them in front of outsiders in the future!"

Chu Jiang looked dissatisfied and aggrieved, saying, "Elder Ancestor, but what I said is the truth!"

Jiang Wuji's smile grew even stronger, slightly intoxicated, and he comforted, "The world is dull, not everyone has your level of awareness."

He wanted to say a few more words, but his expression suddenly changed, and the words at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go down!"

Chu Jiang didn't say a word and immediately respectfully took his leave, disappearing at the entrance of the Cave Mansion after a moment.

Jiang Wuji's face gradually became serious.

With a flash, he arrived in a secret room deep within the Cave Mansion.

The illuminating beads embedded on the walls lit up.

This was a small secret room. After Jiang Wuji arrived, ripples appeared in the space, and figures began to appear one after another.

These figures were all shrouded in cloaks, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly.

But the expressions in their eyes were all extremely shocked.

In this secret room, a carefully arranged transmission array facilitated communication between Jiang Wuji and the others.

"You all sensed it?"

A voice of an old woman came from under the cloak.

They all nodded at each other and then looked at Jiang Wuji.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wuji took a deep breath and slowly took out a scroll in front of everyone.

Then he unfolded it slowly. It was slightly yellowed and emitted an ancient and mysterious aura.

Jiang Wuji took a nervous breath.

This was a new decree from the Immortal Court. They had been waiting for so long, and they finally received it.

On the scroll, words began to appear one by one.

"The Lower Realm Great Emperors have rebelled, causing harm to the world. The Immortal Gate will open soon, and all Great Emperors must Ascend immediately!"

"Those who defy will face heavenly punishment and be annihilated!"

After reading the contents, Jiang Wuji and the others took a shocked breath.

Then, joyous expressions appeared on their faces!

"Hahaha!"

"Heaven is helping us, heaven is helping us! It must be that the Desolate Mountain Imperial Prison has been robbed, causing the anger of the Immortal Court!"

Jiang Wuji laughed heartily, his voice sinister, "When the time comes, we won't need to take action."

"Yuan Ruoyu and the others will Ascend to the Immortal Realm, and there will be no more major threats."

"If they refuse to Ascend, it will be a slap in the face to the Immortal Realm, and the Four Great Venerables will take care of everything!"

The others were also overjoyed. They hadn't expected that the gate to the Immortal Realm would open at this time.

A look of hatred flashed in Jiang Wuji's eyes as he said, "When the Ascension light descends, we might even be able to find the position of the Immortal Great Emperor..."

"Since he doesn't want to Ascend, then he can be sent as nourishment. The Heavenly Punishment Venerable has been craving it for a long time."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned serious.

If they could take the opportunity to eliminate the Immortal Great Emperor, that would be the best outcome. But last time, the Immortal Great Emperor completely ignored the Ascension light.

That was three thousand years ago!

So much time had passed, who knew how powerful he had become?
