First Elder smiled, his gaze falling on Jiang Baimo's face.
He said to Jiang Baimo, "The other jade pendant has already been given away, hasn't it? It is our Jiang Clan that let down the Leng Family, the Bai Family, your mother, and you. Just as the Jiang Clan let me down all those years ago. I was the one who endured it for the sake of the clan, but for thousands of years, I have suffered agony in my heart. I lacked the courage to seek revenge against the clan, and the position of First Elder trapped me even further. But you are different. No one and no amount of power or status can trap you, nor can they trap the person who accepted your jade pendant. Back then, regarding the matters of the Leng Family and your mother, even though I was in seclusion, I was nonetheless the First Elder of the Jiang Clan, and I must bear this sin. Therefore, I only ask for a chance to let the younger generation of the Jiang Clan go. Rest assured, the new Jiang Clan will certainly never seek revenge against any of you on account of us sinners."
First Elder clearly knew something. Had the affairs of the Leng Family and the Bai Family not become his inner demon, he would have long since ascended to become a deity. With cultivation like his, he could naturally perceive heavenly secrets. He had known ever since he brought Jiang Baimo back from the Immortal-Demon border that Jiang Baimo had already set foot on the path he was meant to walk and had met the people he was meant to meet.
