Including Angus, there are a total of six imperial nobles who have signed a sub-machine agreement contract and invested in Jiang Yan's camp, and the highest status is a marquis-level nobleman like Angus who owns a town as a territory.

This group of people is all in the family power is declining, and there are also masters in the clan who are about to reach the end of their lifespan, and at the same time, their cultivation is stuck in the situation that they are only one step away from the third level but have never been able to break through.

Jiang Yan wooed these people, mainly because of the convenience that their power in the empire could bring to his own development of the submachine business, and at the same time, he hoped to use these people as an example for other contractor reserves who were still hesitating.

In the empire, the right to speak is often linked to strength, and the reason why the status of these six nobles who have taken refuge in the empire has declined has a lot to do with the fact that there has been no strong person in their family for a long time who can provoke the pillars of the revitalization of the family business.

And now, Jiang Yan's data ability has brought hope to these people, not only the hope of extending their own lifespan, but also the path that will revitalize their own family again.

The power of the inheritance bloodline that Jiang Yan traded to them through the data ability of the "Dragonborn" software is of such a high value to the Duragon nobles of the empire who originally held the power of the Dragonborn in the past, but have slowly lost it in the current era.

Now that the emperor plans to summon Angus and them, the meeting will inevitably involve things related to Jiang Yan, if it is found that Angus and their cultivation have been promoted at this time, I think they should be able to increase a lot of voice in front of that emperor, so as not to let the meeting fall into a state that is too unfavorable to their own side.

That's why Jiang Yan asked Angus how their current strength was. The strength of these old men had already been stuck in a state where they were only one step away from the third-level realm for many years, and after they obtained the power of the "Dragonborn" bloodline from Jiang Yan through the data ability a while ago, most people's cultivation bottlenecks immediately showed signs of loosening.

Calculating the time, it has been almost a month since that time today, and Jiang Yan is a little looking forward to how these people's cultivation is progressing, so he asked.

However, he was a little disappointed by the results.

[I'm sorry, Lord, although I feel like I've found an opportunity, it seems that I'm still a little bit away from a real breakthrough......]

"Tsk...... In other words, I won't be able to catch up with the meeting with the emperor tomorrow night?"

[Yes, yes, I'm ashamed...... If you can give us a few more months...... No, in fact, as long as there is another half a month, at least I will be sure to complete the promotion!] Hearing the dissatisfaction in Jiang Yan's tone, Angus immediately said with some trepidation.

Jiang Yan rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "...... Forget it, the timing can't be said to be inappropriate, since you can't catch up with your own ability, I'll help push it. ”

[Uh, what do you mean ......?] Angus asked, a little uneasy and puzzled. Uneasy, because he listened to Jiang Yan's tone, as if he was planning to force himself to break through.

This kind of forcible breakthrough method may be accompanied by serious side effects in many cases, such as damage to the origin, loss of life, etc., Angus will naturally feel uneasy, after all, he does not have a lot of remaining life to squander like young people.

"Don't worry, it's basically a non-side effect. Jiang Yan, who knew what Angus was worried about, said with a smile.

......

Early the next morning.

Jiang Yan, who had returned to his villa, had just finished his morning exercise in the morning sun when he suddenly felt an unusually active spiritual fluctuation coming from a certain direction outside the city.

Unfolding his eyes and looking in the direction he sensed, he could see that there was a vortex-like spiral cloud in the distant sky to the west, which was caused by the convergence and flow of a huge number of spiritual sons in the heavens and the earth.

"Huh, it looks like the old man has succeeded. Jiang Yan, who saw that vision, showed an unsurprising light smile, and then his eyes flashed again, looking at some large mansions in the city, as well as the location of the palace.

In these places, just now, the great will of at least a third-level master burst out one after another, and after colliding and communicating with each other in the sky above the imperial capital, they all pointed to the direction where the aura vision occurred on the horizon.

There were even a few streamers that rose directly into the sky, turning into streamers and flying away.

"Did you really get noticed? But it's too late to get there. Jiang Yan looked at these streamers, and his keen eyes allowed him to clearly see through the several figures with different auras that were covered by the streamers, but they were all very powerful.

Uh, maybe it's still negotiable to say that it's a 'human figure'? Level 3 transcendent lifeforms can transform their own physical appearance, even if they are originally inhuman, they may change into human form. So Jiang Yan wasn't very sure if these guys were all human...... Maybe it's a powerful elf of the third level city level?

This is not an unusual phenomenon in this world. However, the alien elves who can transform their shapes are basically very good in terms of bloodline and talent, and they will definitely not be easy to mess with, such as the 'dragon species'.

"I'll see...... Three, five, ......? Hey! There are really a lot of third-level masters sitting in this imperial capital, are there only three who have shown their breath in the imperial palace? As the central capital of the empire, although it is normal for masters to gather together, there must be masters stationed on the border...... So the number of third-level masters who are still active in the entire empire on this side of the main world may add up to double digits? And this is not counting the hidden "Ancestral Academy...... Shh

Jiang Yan smacked his tongue at the conclusion he had conjectured.

Fortunately, what made him feel a little more relieved was that these gangs in the imperial capital now showed a strong sense of presence of third-level masters, and the strongest cultivation aura was only at the level of third-level and sixth-order.

Although Jiang Yan's current third-level and sixth-order true spiritual cultivation is at most on par with them, this has to be taken into account the advantages that Jiang Yan's data ability can add, so it is actually not difficult for him to deal with these people.

However, Jiang Yan will not underestimate the empire because of this, after all, there is still the existence of the hidden Patriarchal Courtyard behind them, and the strength of those old and immortal predecessors will not be weaker than those who are still active now, right? More importantly, Jiang Yan doesn't know how many such masters are hidden in the Empire's "Patriarchal Academy"!

However, Jiang Yan was not too vain about this, even if there were third-level and ninth-order powerhouses hidden in the "Sect Elder's Courtyard", he would not be afraid. With the benefit of his ability, even if he really can't resist it, Jiang Yan will still be able to run away.

Speaking of which, the old man of Angus made such a big move, but it led to the gang of guys in the imperial capital who hardly showed up on weekdays, which in Jiang Yan's opinion could be regarded as a surprise. At least allowed him to assess a corner of the empire's high-end combat power information.

"It's a pity, doesn't it seem to have caused the appearance of the dragon seed elf powerhouse this time......" Jiang Yan looked at the imperial capital again, and found that although there were some signs of unrest among the melon-eating citizens and some institutions on the street, there was no trace of some of the 'people' he expected.

Compared with the "Zonglaoyuan" of the empire, which is quite sure, those forces of the "Dragon God" faction, who have supported the development of the empire behind the scenes and competed with the sect, are the ones that Jiang Yan is most afraid of.

"Is it too quiet?...... That's right, a newcomer with a third-level first-order strength, I'm afraid that for those 'pure-blooded dragon species' who are said to be able to automatically advance to the third-level legendary realm as long as they grow to 'adulthood' and their strength, this is not worth making a fuss about at all, right?"

After laughing at himself casually, Jiang Yan shook his head and stopped paying attention to these riots this morning.

Although it attracted the attention of the masters of the imperial capital, Angus would not be surprised by this, because Zos and their high-level brains would handle the finishing work of this matter.

......

Even ordinary people can see a hint of the vision of the spirit child in the distant sky, and those transcendents in the empire and the agency responsible for intelligence detection will naturally not be unable to see it.

"Aura gathering, heaven and earth vision?!" In the technical bureau, some people were shocked: "Why did the spirit son suddenly gather, and this range ...... It's too wide, isn't it!?"

"Spirit Seed Concentration ......" A technician looked at the data on the display screen of the monitoring instrument in front of him, and scratched his hair: "It's not good, if all that Spirit Seed energy bursts out in an instant, it will be enough to level everything within a radius of thousands of kilometers......!

"Recently, I haven't found any signs of such a large-scale spiritual child transfer in nature!"

"Idiot, this is obviously a disturbance caused by some powerful people!" A technical director loudly reprimanded his group of slightly flustered subordinates, and roared urgently: "Quick! Immediately investigate for me, the specific location of the Lingzi's abnormal movement!!"

"Yes!" the technicians calmed down and began to quickly measure the data of the Lingzi's abnormal area.

After about a minute, the technicians breathed a sigh of relief: "The direction has been calculated!"

"Where? in the wilderness, or in which town?!" asked the Director, looking nervous. What he is most afraid of is that the kind of Lingzi chaos with a high degree of danger will appear in densely populated urban areas, because that means that once the Lingzi chaos really becomes a natural spiritual disaster that is enough to destroy the city and cause too many national casualties, then the technical bureau that did not do the prediction and alarm work in time may have to bear a lot of responsibility!

Fortunately, the technicians below gave him a reassuring reply: "The coordinates are located in the western wild uninhabited area a thousand kilometers away from the imperial capital, in the heart of the Scaner Wild Forest!"

"Really, it's okay......" Hearing that it was the place, the director's mood immediately relaxed a lot.

Perhaps the animals and some wild spirits in that forest will be affected by the abnormal changes of this spirit child, and then the livelihood of the villagers in the nearby villages who depend on the forest resources for their livelihood will also be lost, but at least a large number of people will not be directly affected, and that is enough.

"Report! The peak number of spirit children in the target area is rapidly decreasing, and the phenomenon of abnormal gathering of spirit child qi clouds in the vicinity is gradually dissipating!" After more than ten seconds, the technician said another piece of monitoring news: "According to this trend, the distribution of environmental spirit children in this area is expected to return to normal in ten minutes." ”

"Dissipated?" Hearing this, the director's eyes flashed a little thoughtfully: "Is it that the initiator of the vision of the Spirit Son has already left?"

He didn't think much about it, he could leave it for a follow-up investigation, and now it is more important to do the work in front of him first.

The supervisor asked the technician, "From now on, a few of you will closely monitor the next flow of the spirit energy that is spreading out for me, and see if it will cause any subsequent residual disasters!

The technicians in front of the instrument nodded solemnly.

The Director glanced at his subordinates, smiled with satisfaction, and then pulled out the communicator and began to contact his superiors. He also had to report to his boss about what had happened this morning.

......

The Great Scaner Forest, a deep area of lush foliage.

Viewed from above, a bare circular area stands out among the tall trees.

Sitting cross-legged on a formation altar that was more than five wide and one meter high, engraved with the trajectory of a rune array full of faint spiritual light, Angus had just sorted out all the churning and active spiritual power in his body and gathered up the scattered breath, and the joy on his face did not last long, and Zos's cold warning sounded in his mind.

"Angus, there are masters from the imperial capital who have come to investigate! It's not time to meet them for the time being, so let's leave quickly." 』

"So fast?" Angus frowned when he heard this, and he quickly got up and looked in the direction of the imperial capital in the distance.

Although he didn't perceive anything yet, of course Angus didn't doubt Zos's words, and now he couldn't sense it, so he could only say that the other party was either too far away from him, or his strength was stronger than him.

"Don't worry, according to the calculated speed data, the fastest one will be three minutes before the other party arrives here, and you can leave in time before then. Zoth said, "Don't resist my digital transfer. 』

"I see. Angus breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, allowing a stream of silver data to envelop his body.

As his body gradually began to turn into a data code, Angus lowered his head and saw the formation altar under his feet, as well as the rich aura of the spiritual power of the leylines that were still flowing on the ground of the forest.

"Wait a bit! What should I do after the traces left by these Spirit Gathering Arrays? I shouldn't let the empire find out, right?" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
