"Heartless and unforgivable!"
Inside the Jiang Family's ancestral hall, bodies were laid out side by side. Including Jiang Xiong, Jiang Hu, and others who had already been prepared for burial, there were twelve corpses in total.
In just a few days, the Jiang Clan had lost twelve members, most of whom were capable members of the Hunting Squad. This was a significant loss for the Jiang Clan and a tragedy that hadn't occurred in many years.
The ancestral hall was brightly lit, with torches on the surrounding walls flickering loudly in the wind. The hall was crowded with people inside and out, and many women were wailing in grief.
Jiang Xiaotian and several elders were at the far end of the hall. Jiang Xiaotian paced back and forth, seething with rage.
Losing twelve elite members in just a few days would be a major event for any clan.
An elder had just suggested inviting the Jiang Family's Patriarch to come out and take charge of the situation.
This made Jiang Xiaotian, who was already irritable, even more upset. He also heard that people from Guan Family Town, Shi Village, and Ma Family Village would come to Jiangjia Town tomorrow to demand an explanation. This matter arose because Jiangjia Town issued a bounty notice, and since people died on their side, they naturally wanted some compensation...
These were actually minor issues!
What truly enraged Jiang Xiaotian was that over a hundred people couldn't kill a single Purple Mansion 6th Level, and instead, Jiang Han killed nineteen of them.
Fear and unease began to well up in Jiang Xiaotian's heart.
In his mind, the image of Jiang Henshui frequently appeared, that peerless genius who had oppressed them since childhood.
Six years ago, Jiang Henshui disappeared and never returned.
It was also that year that he broke through to the Mystic Void Realm. With Jiang Henshui's disappearance, there was a vacancy in the Elders' Hall, and he became the Jiang Family's Third Elder.
After becoming an elder, the gloom in his heart was swept away. He believed that in the years to come, no one would be able to suppress him, and he would rise to the top, eventually becoming the Jiang Family's Patriarch.
He wanted to lead the Jiang Family to become the strongest family within a hundred miles, and his name, Jiang Xiaotian, would be prominently recorded in the Jiang Clan's history. Read this novel at novelping . com for the best experience.
However...
Jiang Henshui disappeared, but his son emerged unexpectedly, and his momentum was even more fierce than Jiang Henshui's!
He knew very well that Jiang Han hadn't practiced demonic arts. What are demonic arts? They are sinister and evil techniques, and anyone practicing them would have a different aura, recognizable at a glance.
Jiang Han possessed all sorts of strange abilities, more like... bloodline Divine Ability!
He himself had the bloodline Divine Ability "Blazing Body," and he had seen many powerful warriors' abilities. Jiang Han's Phantom Shift was somewhat sinister, but he had heard of the Mountain Penetration Technique.
It was said that in a major power north of the Tianhu Mountain Range, "Tianlang Hall," there was a strong individual with a similar ability, able to pass through walls and escape underground.
The more it was like this...
The more Jiang Xiaotian felt terrified and uneasy. If it truly was a Divine Ability, then Jiang Han was defying the heavens. He hadn't heard of anyone in the Purple Mansion Realm awakening a Divine Ability, and Jiang Han seemed to have awakened two?
Is this still human?
He had to send Jiang Li to Han Shiqi; this matter couldn't be changed. So he and Jiang Han were mortal enemies, with no room for reconciliation.
Jiang Han was even more ruthless than his father, practically a Demon Star. If Jiang Han were allowed to grow, his lineage might be wiped out by Jiang Han!
If Jiang Han became even more violent, the entire Jiang Clan might face annihilation!
"Jiang Han must die, must die!"
The scar on Jiang Xiaotian's face twitched continuously, but his gaze became exceptionally determined. He scanned the room and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow morning, I will personally go up the mountain to hunt down Jiang Han. Jiang Long, you take ten people and keep a close watch on Jiang Li day and night. As long as Jiang Li is here, Jiang Han can't escape."
"Uncle..."
Jiang Long's clothes were tattered, and his eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't slept all night and had been running around the mountain all day, leaving him utterly exhausted. He knew his uncle wanted him to stay behind to avoid being killed by Jiang Han, as staying in Jiangjia Town would be safer. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
After receiving a fierce glare from Jiang Xiaotian, he reluctantly bowed and said, "Yes!"
"Everyone, disperse!"
The Third Elder, looking at the weeping women, waved his hand irritably and said, "Tighten the town's defenses, be wary of Jiang Han's sneak attacks. Tomorrow, I will definitely bring back Jiang Han's head to console the spirits of the deceased."
Many clan members, though grieving, felt a slight sense of encouragement. Jiang Xiaotian was in the Mystic Void Realm 3rd Level, with formidable combat power.
Two years ago, when a conflict arose between Jiangjia Town and Wang Family Town, Jiang Xiaotian led the clan members to defeat the Wang Family, leaving a deep impression of his combat prowess, even surpassing the Second Elder in the eyes of the Jiang Clan members.
Jiang Han might be a prodigy, but no matter how prodigious, he was still in the Purple Mansion Realm. Jiang Xiaotian's intervention would surely be decisive.
...
Meanwhile, in Wang Family Town, Du Family Town, Guan Family Town, and other places, many family patriarchs or leaders were holding clan meetings tonight, subtly conveying a message: those who went to the Tianhu Mountain Range to hunt Jiang Han did so out of greed for the bounty and brought it upon themselves. Others should not pursue Jiang Han, or they would bear the consequences.
These orders caused dissatisfaction among many clan members. After all, Jiang Han had slaughtered nineteen people in the Tianhu Mountain Range today. The patriarchs and leaders of the major families not only refused to avenge their fallen members but also prevented them from seeking revenge—what did that mean?
Three people were killed in Guan Family Town, and their relatives were not satisfied. They gathered a group to demand an explanation from the Guan Family's patriarch.
The Guan Family's patriarch did not appear, only sending a message that immediately silenced the troublemakers: If Jiang Henshui were alive, he would definitely be a high-level Mystic Void Realm, possibly even a Mountain and Sea Level powerhouse.
Not to mention Jiang Henshui, even Jiang Han himself was extraordinarily talented, not much weaker than his father.
If they failed to kill him this time, and if they completely antagonized him, giving him a few years to grow, they would face the calamity of extermination!
Yes.
The patriarchs of the major families were afraid.
They feared that Jiang Henshui was not dead, and they also feared... that Jiang Han would survive this time.
