PDLP Chapter 842 The Elders' Rivalry
Chapter 842 The Elders' Rivalry
As the dark gold battlecruiser slowly detached itself from the starport's gravitational orbit, it plunged into the tranquil and profound stream of light in the subspace.
Inside the cabin, the atmosphere shifted instantly from the initial deathly silence caused by extreme shame to a strange heat and unease.
Jiang Tianlu sat on a luxurious silk armchair, a faint blush covering her dignified and mature face. Her gentle, watery eyes were fixed on the unknown starry sky she was about to reach through the holographic porthole.
"Yuanyuan..."
Jiang Tianlu gently stirred the silk handkerchief between her fingers, her voice trembling slightly:
"You mean...that lord...can he really, like the rumors say, bestow insights into the rules...helping us advance directly?"
Sitting beside her, Jiang Yuanyuan was also sitting upright. Beneath her neatly combed hair, her round earlobes glowed a breathtaking pink under the holographic light.
"Tianlu, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Jiang Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Her eyes, as ripe as peaches, were now filled with a fervent desire.
"Look at Jiang Yulan's appearance... look at the cultivation levels of the maids around her..."
"If it weren't for that person's divine blessing, how could she have acquired such a powerful aura, even surpassing that of the Grand Elder, in just over a year?!"
When she said the words "that person," Jiang Yuanyuan's originally dignified and elegant tone revealed a sense of humility and... expectation that she herself was unaware of.
"yes……"
Jiang Tianlu sighed deeply, her tone filled with complex emotions arising from extreme sentimentality.
"We have been cultivating in the Jiang family for hundreds of years... We have always believed that rules, dignity, and the pitiful allocation of resources are the entirety of our martial arts."
"But now..."
……
at the same time.
On the other side of the warship, in the cabin of the one hundred elite female warriors of the Jiang family.
The initial sense of disillusionment caused by the Jiang family's elder bowing his head had now completely transformed into a frantic pursuit of Lin Qiye's aura.
"Qingxue is so silly..."
A female warrior who was originally on good terms with Jiang Qingxue now sat on a soft chair, patting her chest with lingering fear:
"How dare she be so disrespectful to adults at a time like this... Luckily, it's none of our business, otherwise, we probably wouldn't even be able to get in the door!!"
"Exactly!! Don't they even know whose territory this is!"
Another woman, exceptionally beautiful, with long legs that appeared remarkably straight under her light armor, had eyes full of anticipation:
"I heard from the people of the Azure Feather Starfield that... the Lord is a true God of War!! He slew three Zerg Gods of War in a row!! Such a hero... such a god-like man... to be able to serve him is a blessing we've earned in this lifetime!!"
"Why should we care about the Jiang family?!"
"As long as it allows me to advance to a mid-level Martial God, even if it means carrying your bloodline for the rest of my life... I'd accept it all!!"
……
Inside the command cabin, the airflow that had been noisy due to the whispers of the Jiang family's female warriors fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
On the big screen, a massive planet, with a mesmerizing sapphire blue hue, was slowly being pulled away by gravitational waves, shedding the mist of the void.
This is Planet "Palace No. 1"!
The layers of spiritual energy mist, forcibly locked by the spirit-gathering array, surged between the azure ocean and the verdant forest, like layers of thin fairy gauze.
Inside the command cabin, the hundred female warriors of the Jiang family stared intently out the porthole.
"The concentration of spiritual energy here... while not as high as that of our Jiang family's main branch, is not weak either."
Jiang Yuanyuan muttered to herself, as a high-level martial god, she had an extremely high sensitivity to spiritual energy.
As a founding family that has existed for thousands of years, the spiritual energy at the core of the Jiang family's ancestral land is almost condensed into liquid, which is an extraordinary foundation.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Valkyries behind her let out extremely suppressed low gasps.
"Good heavens... The Grand Elder said this entire planet was prepared just for us hundred or so people?!"
"In the Jiang family, even if I am a direct descendant genius, I can only be allocated a manor on the main star... I even have to make great contributions to the family."
"This...this entire planet is ours?!"
The feeling of exile that came from leaving the Jiang family was completely transformed into anticipation in the face of the vast, boundless world that belonged to them.
They discovered that leaving the rigidly hierarchical and overcrowded Jiang family and coming into this man's arms was... not as bad as they had imagined. On the contrary, they had an absurd illusion of turning the tables and becoming the mistress of the house.
……
"Thump!!"
The hatch slid open with a loud thud.
Supported by four maids, Jiang Yao, with her very noticeable belly protruding, slowly walked down the gangway.
Her once stunningly beautiful face now exuded an undeniable air of authority.
"Stand still, everyone."
Jiang Yao's voice was calm as still water, and with the enhancement of spiritual energy, it clearly resonated throughout the entire square:
"The master is in the main hall ahead. If you want to see the master, you must abide by his rules."
"Now, line up according to your level of cultivation."
Jiang Yao's gaze swept over the group of women with varying expressions, a deeper meaning in her eyes:
"Those with higher cultivation levels, please line up at the front and follow me into the hall."
"The rest will remain at Starport, awaiting their arrival."
These words instantly heightened the tension in the square.
"I am a high-level Martial God!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Tianlu stepped forward immediately, her dignified and mature face filled with eagerness born of extreme desire, and stood at the very front of the line.
"I am also a high-level Martial God!"
Not to be outdone, Jiang Yuanyuan's exquisite hair trembled slightly, and her pink earlobes, caused by extreme joy, were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
She followed closely behind, even trying to squeeze closer to Jiang Tianlu in terms of positioning.
The two elders, who usually addressed each other as sisters in the Jiang family branch, had completely abandoned all pretense for the sake of being the first to enter the hall.
Jiang Yao looked calmly at the two elders of the Jiang family who were of a higher seniority than her.
"Since there's no clear distinction between higher and lower levels of cultivation..."
Jiang Yao stroked her swollen belly, her tone indifferent:
"Then let's divide it according to your original positions in the Jiang family. Elder Jiang Tianlu, you're in first place. Elder Jiang Yuanyuan, you're in second place."
"Yes!! Thank you, Your Highness... no, thank you, Mistress, for your kindness!!"
When Jiang Tianlu heard her name listed first, an intense surge of joy flashed in her gentle, watery eyes. In front of everyone, she bowed deeply to Jiang Yao, her junior, her posture so humble that she was practically invisible.
Jiang Yao smiled when she heard the title "Mistress"!
She was just one of many women around Lin Qiye, but in front of a new woman like Jiang Tianlu, even though she was once an elder of the Jiang family, she was addressed as the mistress, which made Jiang Yao feel sweet inside.
Standing behind her, Jiang Yuanyuan, though a strong sense of dissatisfaction and jealousy flashed deep in her eyes, forced a charming yet submissive smile at that moment, looking at Jiang Yao's protruding belly and thinking of the man who controlled everything.
"The mistress's arrangements are excellent; Yuanyuan has no objections."
Now, how could she dare to offend Jiang Yao, who was already pregnant?
Although it's highly unlikely that Jiang Yao has gained Lin Qiye's favor, what if she really does? Wouldn't it be foolish of me to offend her?
Jiang Qingxue's lesson is still ringing in my ears!
Besides, she's currently in second place, so what's wrong with waiting?
