Chapter 187: Chapter 185: Jiang Family

The Jiang Family, located in Mujiang City, was the largest family in Mujiang City, which was a thousand kilometers away from Cangxuan City.

The Jiang Family’s servants, disguised as merchants to escort the White Jade Arhat that their Family Head had purchased for a huge sum, thought they could complete their mission smoothly. Unexpectedly, as they were about to reach Mujiang City, they encountered Yi Mu, who stole the White Jade Arhat that the Jiang Family Patriarch was particularly concerned about.

Jiang Yuan and his group thought they would lose their lives after losing the White Jade Arhat and never expected to meet Yan Rufeng. For a moment, Jiang Yuan and his group entrusted their lives to Yan Rufeng.

In the southern part of Mujiang City, there was a long palace complex, where the Jiang Family’s mansion was located.

One day later, Yan Rufeng arrived at the Jiang Family’s gate along with Jiang Yuan and his group.

Seeing Jiang Yuan, the Jiang Family guards cupped their hands and said, "Elder Jiang, you have worked hard."

Jiang Yuan ordered the convoy to enter first, then proudly raised his head and said loudly, "Jiang Ning, quickly inform the Family Head that our Jiang Family’s good fortune has arrived and ask him to come out to receive it."

Jiang Yuan believed that since Yan Rufeng was an Immortal, having an Immortal visit the Jiang Family was the greatest fortune for the Jiang Family, so he decided without permission to have the Jiang Family Patriarch come out to greet Yan Rufeng.

"Good fortune? What good fortune?" Jiang Ning asked in confusion.

"Hmph."

Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, "You are not qualified to know. Just go inform the Family Head..."

Jiang Ning retreated, muttering to himself, "It’s just an escort mission, why so arrogant..."

The Jiang Family Patriarch, named Jiang Tao, was about forty years old. He had a robust body, sharp eyes, and a bronzed, glossy skin that made him look extremely capable.

During a meeting, Jiang Tao was sitting in the Patriarch’s seat. The hall was noisy with discussions. Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted loudly, "Report to the Family Head, Jiang Yuan is here."

"Since he is here, why doesn’t he come in to pay his respects?"

"Family Head, although Jiang Yuan is here, he..."

"What about him?" Jiang Tao asked sharply.

"Family Head, Jiang Yuan said you should personally go and greet him."

Jiang Tao’s expression changed. He thought, "How dare he ask me to go out to greet him? Just because he escorted the White Jade Arhat with my second brother, he is getting too cocky, not knowing his place..."

"Someone, bring Jiang Yuan to me." Jiang Tao ordered angrily.

As soon as Jiang Tao finished speaking, six ferocious men with axes rushed out.

Jiang Ning, the guard, smiled secretly, thinking, "Jiang Yuan, you old fool, trying to show off in front of me, now you will suffer..."

At the Jiang Family gate, a ferocious man raised his axe, pointed at Jiang Yuan, and shouted, "Jiang Yuan, how dare you ask the Family Head to greet you personally? Are you tired of living?"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback, "What’s going on? Why hasn’t the Family Head come?"

"Facing death, yet you still expect the Family Head to greet you. Who gave you the courage?" Jiang Ning said smugly.

Jiang Yuan understood everything in an instant, thinking, "It must be Jiang Ning who spoke ill of me to the Family Head."

Jiang Yuan’s heart sank again, "This is bad. If we offend the Immortal Master because of this, the Jiang Family will be doomed..."

"Seize Jiang Yuan!" one of the ferocious men shouted.

"Wait." Jiang Yuan shouted.

"Hehe!"

Jiang Ning sneered, "What, Jiang Yuan, do you intend to resist?"

"I do not intend to resist."

"Then what do you want?"

"I will go with them to see the Family Head." Jiang Yuan said.

"Hmph."

Jiang Ning snorted, "At least you know what’s good for you!"

Jiang Yuan turned to Yan Rufeng, cupped his hands, and said, "Immortal Master, please wait here for a moment. I will inform the Family Head, and he will certainly come out to greet you personally."

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "I fear that once you go, you’ll meet your end right there."

Jiang Yuan was startled, "Immortal Master, you mean, the Family Head..."

"Precisely!"

"Alas..."

"What should we do?" Jiang Yuan sighed bitterly.

"Very well!"

Yan Rufeng said, "Since I promised to save you, I will go with you to see the Jiang Family Patriarch."

Jiang Yuan hastily bowed, "The old one thanks the Immortal Master."

"Hehe..."

Jiang Ning laughed mockingly, "Facing death and still showing off, calling a young man an Immortal Master, aren’t you ashamed? If he is an Immortal, then I, Jiang Yuan, must be a God..."

"Haha..."

Jiang Yuan ignored Jiang Ning and followed the ferocious men into the Jiang Family Mansion. Yan Rufeng followed closely behind. Suddenly, Jiang Ning raised his knife and shouted angrily, "Trespassers in the Jiang Family shall die."

Jiang Yuan did not expect the guard to block Yan Rufeng outside and shouted sternly, "Jiang Ning, put down the knife immediately."

"You tell me to put down the knife, and I will?"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Ning sneered, "Jiang Yuan, you committed a capital offense by asking the Family Head to greet you, and now you want to bring an outsider into the Jiang Family. What are your intentions? How many lives do you have?"

"Jiang Ning, you are courting death!" Jiang Yuan said sternly.

"Haha..."

"I’m courting death? Now I’ll chop this outsider into pieces and see what you can do to me!"

Jiang Ning immediately raised his large knife and chopped at Yan Rufeng.

"Clang, clink..."

Jiang Ning’s large knife broke on impact, leaving him stunned.

"The knife broke..."

"Can someone tell me what just happened? Who am I? Where am I?" Jiang Ning muttered, dazed.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Your name is Jiang Ning, correct?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, then raised his voice arrogantly, "Listen up. I am Jiang Ning, the most favored servant of the Jiang Family Patriarch."

Yan Rufeng smiled calmly, "Today, I’m in a good mood. Otherwise, you would already be dead."

"What did you say?"

"Haha..."

Jiang Ning laughed, "On the Jiang Family’s territory, you dare to say such things? Now I’ll show you Jiang Ning’s prowess."

Jiang Ning then shouted loudly, "Help! There’s a thief intruding..."

Yan Rufeng shook his head in disappointment and said softly, "This is your own fault. Why drag others down with you?"

"Hehe..."

Jiang Ning sneered, "You brazen thief, facing death, yet still defiant. I must commend your courage."

Jiang Yuan was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. He looked down, saying, "It’s over. It’s all over. The Jiang Family is doomed."

The Jiang Family heard Jiang Ning’s shout and began to pass it along. In no time, Yan Rufeng was surrounded by a crowd of people.

One person leaped out, holding a longsword, and shouted, "Jiang Ning, where’s the thief?"

Jiang Ning pointed at Yan Rufeng, saying, "It’s him."

The man raised his longsword, pointed at Yan Rufeng, and shouted, "Kid, prepare to die!"

"Haha..."

Jiang Ning laughed, "Kid, you dare cause trouble in the Jiang Family? Let’s see how you’ll die."

"Huff..."

The man moved like the wind, his longsword whistling as it aimed for Yan Rufeng’s chest.
