Chapter 60: Can you hear it? The Crane's Cry?

The Fang family residence is located in the west of the city.

In fact, all the wealthy and powerful families of Maple Leaf City are gathered in the western district.

Among them, the Zhang family residence is located in the east, close to the City Lord's Mansion. The Wang family residence is located in the north, close to the armory. The Fang family residence is located furthest south, making it the closest of the three major families to places like the Three Fragrances House and the Datong Casino.

Other families are scattered among the three major families, serving as a buffer.

From where Jiang Wang is now, the quickest route to the Fang family residence is directly through the City Lord's Mansion. However, the bald man would obviously not agree to this route, and Jiang Wang wouldn't even suggest it.

He suggested that they take the south gate, pass through the civilian residential area, reach the Datong Casino, and then pass near the Three Fragrances House to reach the Fang family residence directly.

This route was a long detour, but it was undoubtedly very safe for the bald man.

The journey was smooth, and when they encountered patrolling city guards, Jiang Wang even took the initiative to help the bald man conceal himself.

Now, they had finally arrived in front of the Fang family residence.

The sky was gradually darkening.

...

Flying Horse Lane, the Jiang family.

Linghe suddenly stood up: "We can't wait any longer!"

They all knew that Jiang Wang would definitely show up for Jiang An'an's birthday, such an important occasion.

At first, they thought Jiang Wang might be preparing some other surprise, but it was already almost night. No matter how much preparation he was doing, he couldn't possibly miss the time. Something must have happened to Jiang Wang.

Zhao Rucheng grabbed Linghe: "You stay here with An'an, I have more people at home, I'll go take a look."

The Zhao family was rich and naturally had many people. It would be more useful for him to go out and look for someone than Linghe. And An'an definitely needed someone to be with her, otherwise, even if Jiang Wang was found, he wouldn't forgive them if something happened to An'an.

Linghe naturally understood this reasoning, so he had to agree.

The aroma of food had been lingering for a long time, and An'an was very hungry, but she had no appetite.

"Where did Brother go?" she asked.

Zhao Rucheng gave Linghe a look, and then said: "He probably went to Phoenix Creek Town to buy you a sugar figurine, didn't you always say you wanted to eat the sugar figurine from that so-and-so's house in Phoenix Creek Town?"

"Grandpa Zhang's house!" Jiang An'an added crisply.

"That's right!" Zhao Rucheng said: "But it's getting dark, I'm afraid your brother can't see the road clearly. I'll take a lantern to pick him up."

...

The so-called "Fang family residence" did not have a clear boundary, nor were there any walls or fences separating the inside from the outside. It was just a large area that was conventionally regarded as such. The Fang family members had lived here for generations, and it had gradually become their residence.

"We should sneak in and not alarm anyone else," Jiang Wang suggested, "otherwise, I won't be able to explain it if they ask about you."

There was no reason to bring a stranger to a friend's house. Jiang Wang's suggestion was very reasonable.

"Which direction is the small courtyard you mentioned?"

Jiang Wang pointed in a direction very familiarly.

But he was thinking repeatedly in his mind.

His biggest disadvantage was that he hadn't yet established his foundation, while this bald man was a sixth-grade Tenglong realm expert. The difference in realm was like a chasm.

But his biggest advantage was also that he hadn't established his foundation. Because he hadn't established his foundation, he relied on the extraordinary Sword Canon and the Military Body Refinement Technique to have strength surpassing that of ordinary Youmai realm cultivators. This was something the bald man couldn't have foreseen, and it must be beyond his expectations.

Jiang Wang had one chance for a surprise, one chance to give him an unexpected opportunity.

Only one chance.

All the way, the bald man had maintained the posture of holding Jiang Wang's shoulders. At this time, he just pulled lightly. The two of them turned into a shadow and plunged into the shadow of a pedestrian in front of them.

Following this person for a while, the bald man pulled Jiang Wang out, "Then what? Which way to go?"

Jiang Wang didn't hide his surprise at this secret technique, and after looking at the road, he pointed in another direction.

The bald man smiled softly: "This Stealth Shadow Technique is not difficult to learn, as long as you listen to my instructions, I can teach you."

Then he pulled Jiang Wang into the shadows again.

After several consecutive times, the night completely enveloped the sky, and the two floated into the small courtyard where Fang Pengju had once brought Jiang Wang.

This almost silent method of leaping also increased Jiang Wang's vigilance.

Fortunately, this place was indeed not arranged for others to live in, but was left deserted.

This small courtyard was left to Fang Pengju by his deceased father, and because of its special location, almost no one came here.

Of course, even if this courtyard had been allocated by the Fang family, Jiang Wang would have an excuse. His friend almost never came back to live, it was normal for him to let his clansmen live there, and he hadn't been here for a long time, so it was reasonable for him to be unaware.

Smelling the dusty smell of the courtyard, the bald man nodded with satisfaction.

According to his habit, he would naturally kill and dig out the heart immediately.

But Jiang Wang had already naturally started to introduce him: "Three rooms forward from this courtyard is a large dining hall, you can go there to steal something to eat."

Jiang Wang pointed in the direction of the dining hall, with his back to the bald man.

"My friend dislikes the family's restrictions, so he basically doesn't come back to live."

Then he turned in another direction and said: "The Fang family guards' patrol time is..."

Sword light flashed!

Jiang Wang drew his sword without hesitation, without delay, suddenly!

The first style of the Purple Qi East Comes Sword Killing Technique, the fastest style of the five styles!

But this sword was not to attack the bald man, but to take Jiang Wang himself, across the high wall and into the next courtyard!

The bald man was by no means a procrastinator, but Jiang Wang was talking about the patrol time of the Fang family's guards, which was very important for him to hide here. He just didn't expect that this person would suddenly erupt halfway through his words.

What the bald man didn't expect even more was that this kid who hadn't yet established his foundation had such a quick and decisive sword. It far exceeded his judgment of this level of strength, causing him to grab at nothing!

"Who dares to break into the Fang family ancestral hall?"

Jiang Wang had just jumped into the next courtyard when he heard a furious shout, and an old man with white hair and beard leaped out of the room.

Yes, the small courtyard where Fang Pengju once lived was next to the Fang family ancestral hall. This was the reliance on Jiang Wang's delay!

Fang Pengju's father, after giving up hope of cultivation, was arranged here as the guardian of the Fang family's ancestral hall. Of course, the real guardian was not him, he was only responsible for cleaning the courtyard and washing the memorial tablets, which was actually a kind of humiliation. He silently endured it, but pinned all his hopes on his son.

Fang Pengju grew up in this courtyard, and after his talent gradually emerged, he was unwilling to move to other courtyards.

Jiang Wang had a plan, and after meeting the white-haired old man, he turned around and fled, while urging his Daoyuan to shout: "Heart-Swallowing Demon! Today I will make you explain yourself here!"

Xiong Wen, who then chased into the Fang family ancestral hall, and the white-haired old man were both startled.

The former was shocked that his identity had been detected, and the latter was shocked by the fierce name of the Heart-Swallowing Demon.

But the thought was just a flash, the two were facing each other at this time, there was no reason not to try each other.

Especially the white-haired old man was in charge of the Fang family ancestral hall, how could he abandon his responsibility and leave because of a loud name?

He started preparing his Daoshu when he leaped out of the room, originally planning to target the sword-wielding thief, but at this moment, with a rub of his hands, arrows with floating feathers shot into the air.

The Fang family's inherited Daoshu, Thousand Feather Arrows.

To be honest, this Daoshu is not more profound than the Daoshu taught in the Daoyuan, and even crude in many aspects. The complex hand seals and impractical floating feathers. The ever-changing Daoshu reforms in the Daoyuan are also the reason why family-style cultivation has gradually declined.

However, the old man had been immersed in this technique for many years, and he was extremely skilled, and combined with his eighth-grade Zhoutian realm cultivation, its power should not be underestimated.

But, Xiong Wen only let out a roar, and the tyrannical Daoyuan urged sound waves, shattering many of the floating feather arrows.

He casually smashed a few arrows that were rushing towards his vital points, and the whole person crashed into the white-haired old man, tearing out his heart with one hand!

With Jiang Wang's shout, his whereabouts were exposed at this moment, and he had to get away as soon as possible, a quick battle was the key. So he used thunderous means, and would rather suffer some minor injuries, than instantly kill his opponent.

Xiong Wen looked at the dry heart in his hand and threw it on the ground: "Disgusting."

The white-haired old man didn't expect that he couldn't even hold on for one move, but he decided to give his opponent an unexpected move.

He looked at his receding old heart, and used his last strength to urge all the Daoyuan in the Tongtian Palace, and rushed into the seal in his hand.

The light shone brightly.

The entire Fang family ancestral hall was shrouded in a layer of clear light, and at the top of the clear light, there was a phantom of a crane.

It stood tall and straight, its eyes cold.

The white-haired old man used his last life to activate the protective formation of the Fang family ancestral hall.

He faintly heard the crane's cry.
