October 6th, early morning.
Nantian City, the eighteen peaks of Tianqiong Mountain, and Yunfeng.
Paper money flew everywhere, and cries echoed throughout.
Among the group of mourners, Jiang Xue, dressed in a red dress, stood out the most.
Everyone else was sad, but she was the only one who was happy.
Jiang Ruhuo's descendants all dared not speak out against his anger.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression walked into the mourning hall.
The middle-aged man walked straight to the old woman sitting in front of the coffin.
The old woman was none other than Liu Mengxin, Jiang Ruhuo's wife.
The middle-aged man was her eldest son, Jiang Yilong.
"Mother, something's happened to the youngest son!"
"What's wrong with Chen'er?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yilong's words, Liu Mengxin jumped up.
Although Jiang Yichen is not her biological son.
But from childhood to adulthood, she loved Jiang Yichen more than anyone else.
"The youngest sister and all the people she brought were killed by that scoundrel Li Fan!"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing the devastating news, Liu Mengxin felt dizzy and disoriented.
She suppressed her grief and held herself up to prevent herself from collapsing.
......
Has he already become that strong?
On the other side, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xue's beautiful eyes.
......
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened?"
Liu Mengxin looked at Jiang Yilong, her eyes seemingly brimming with thunderous fury.
After Jiang Yilong finished speaking, Liu Mengxin took a deep breath.
"Yi Long, go and invite the clan leader to a meeting immediately!"
Hatred did not cloud her judgment.
Whether it was the men Jiang Yichen brought or the backup plan Ru Huo left for him!
None of them could be contended with by a ninth-rank Divine Martial Artist.
After Ru Huo's death, their lineage simply did not possess the strength to kill Li Fan.
If they wanted to avenge Jiang Yichen, they could only turn to Jiang Wentian or the ancestor for help.
......
"That Li Fan is incredibly audacious! He dared to kill Yi Chen; he's practically courting death!"
"They're not taking my Jiang family seriously!"
"How can we establish ourselves in Nanzhou if we don't kill Li Fan?"
"The Jiang family's authority cannot be challenged!"
Inside the mourning hall, everyone in the Jiang family looked indignant.
Jiang Xue, on the other hand, watched coldly from the sidelines.
The Jiang family is already rotten.
The incident clearly stemmed from someone trying to target the Zhenwu Division and himself.
They hired the assassin Micro Dust to kill Li Fan, but he failed.
This time, they even sent Jiang Yichen.
Now that Jiang Yichen has been killed, all these people think that Li Fan is provoking them.
That's utterly nonsensical.
Jiang Xue didn't speak; she wanted to wait for Jiang Wentian to arrive.
She wanted to see how her father would weigh the interests this time.
......
"Second Aunt!"
"Wentian, you've arrived."
"My poor Chen'er died in Tianshan County."
“He clearly stated that he came from the Jiang family.”
“That Li Fan wouldn’t let it go and killed him.”
"These thugs have no respect for the Jiang family at all."
"If we don't kill this scoundrel, how can the Jiang family maintain its standing?"
As soon as Jiang Wentian entered the mourning hall, Liu Mengxin rushed forward.
Jiang Wentian frowned slightly, but he did not immediately express his opinion.
This is a tricky matter.
The tricky part is not only Li Fan's strength.
It lies even more in the image of Nangong Town.
The battle at Liuzhi Mountain was confirmed to have been fought between Nangong Zhenxiang and Yuwen Haotian.
The fact that the elephant from Nangong Town returned to the city last night already speaks volumes.
He not only achieved the tenth-grade Dharma Image, but was also able to defeat Yuwen Haotian.
With such strength, perhaps only the patriarch of the Jiang family could contend with it.
Add to that Li Fan, who can withstand the power of the Dharma Image and survive, and this combination is enough to give anyone a headache.
"Second Aunt, uncles and elders, I know you are anxious, but this is a serious matter, and I think we should have a proper discussion about it."
"Li Fan now represents more than just a prodigy who may be comparable to Wu Kuang Kuang Yutian."
“Nangong Zhenxiang was standing behind him.”
Five days ago, Nangong Zhenxiang and Yuwen Haotian fought a great battle at Liuzhi Mountain.
“Last night, the elephant from Nangong Town returned to Nantian City.”
"What this means is obvious to you without me having to explain it."
"Even with just Nangong Zhenxiang, my Jiang family isn't guaranteed a victory; add Li Fan on top of that..."
Jiang Wentian didn't say anything more.
The Jiang family members, who were initially agitated, also calmed down.
Their silence speaks volumes about their stance.
......
Just as I expected.
You are still the same you.
Years have passed, and nothing has changed.
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Wentian with a cold gaze.
......
Upon hearing his words, Liu Mengxin's face instantly darkened.
"You all made your stance clear when you wanted to target Li Fan!"
"Whether you send Wei Chen or Yi Chen, you've both agreed."
"Now that Yichen is dead because of this, you're here weighing whether we can afford to offend the other side."
"When has the Jiang family ever had to act according to the whims of others?"
"When did my Jiang family become so timid and hesitant?"
"Has the saying 'One ginger can cover the entire southern province' become nothing but nonsense?"
"Jiang Wentian, if you won't make a move, then I'll go find the Ancestor to judge..."
"Boom!"
Just as Liu Mengxin was making her accusations, a terrifying explosion pierced the sky.
Immediately following, an extremely powerful surge of true energy erupted.
Dharma Image!
All the members of the Jiang family looked on with surprise and uncertainty.
Jiang Wentian walked outside with a gloomy expression.
......
"Nangong Zhenxiang has come to demand justice!"
The elephant in Nangong Town seems to float in mid-air, level with the surrounding peaks.
He appeared exceptionally small amidst the mountains.
But all the members of the Jiang family looked in his direction without prior arrangement.
"Lord Nangong, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
Jiang Wentian flew forward.
"Jiang Yichen led his men to ambush and kill Li Fan, the leader of the Guang County Martial Arts Alliance, the day before yesterday."
“I have seen their bodies with my own eyes.”
Do you still think it's a misunderstanding?
"Lord Nangong, you're saying Yichen is dead?"
Jiang Wentian frowned, as if he knew nothing about the matter.
"The dignified head of the Jiang family is actually playing dumb with me!"
"In that case, let's fight first and talk about the consequences later!"
After Nangong Zhenxiang finished speaking, the aura that had been radiating outwards collapsed back into his body.
His fist cleaved open, and his body surged forward like a dragon, ready to strike.
Thunder rumbled in the void, and Jiang Wentian's expression changed drastically.
This Nangong Zhenxiang really doesn't take the Jiang family seriously!
"Nangong Zhenxiang, my Jiang family neither provokes trouble nor fears it!"
"If you want war today, then let's fight!"
Jiang Wentian let out a long roar, unleashing his inner energy as he charged towards Nangong Zhenxiang.
The great battle began suddenly.
The end was also sudden.
After ten punches, Jiang Wentian was knocked downwards.
"Young friend Nangong, please stop for now. We can talk about Li Fan's matter!"
Just then, Jiang Cen's aged voice came.
Nangong Zhenxiang stopped and landed towards where Jiang Cen was in seclusion.
