Chapter 189: Chapter 187 Token (2)

Yan Rufeng moved his gaze to Jiang Tao, exuding authority without anger.

"Jiang Tao, why did you go to such lengths to purchase this White Jade Arhat?"

Jiang Tao’s heart sank, "Who within the Five Great Cities doesn’t know the use of the White Jade Arhat? Could this young man be an outsider?"

"Hehe."

A cold laugh echoed in Jiang Tao’s heart, "Since he doesn’t know the use of the White Jade Arhat, I feel at ease. But if I tell him, what if he fights for it? If I don’t tell him, he’ll definitely become suspicious, and if he forcibly seizes it, who could stop him? He is a cultivator; surely he wouldn’t care about an entry spot..."

After deciding, Jiang Tao cupped his hands and said, "Immortal Master, you may not be aware, but the White Jade Arhat is a sacred token of the cultivation sects. Only families possessing the White Jade Arhat are eligible to participate in the outer disciple selection at the end of the year."

Yan Rufeng finally understood but was puzzled, thinking, "If a family with a White Jade Arhat gets priority in the cultivation sects’ disciple selection, why would the Yi Family sell such an important token? It seems the Yi Family is weak among the Five Great Cities..."

However, Yan Rufeng hadn’t expected the cultivation world to use this method for selecting disciples. He found it innovative and suddenly wanted to know which sect it belonged to.

Yan Rufeng then asked with a smile, "Jiang Tao, to which cultivation sect does this White Jade Arhat belong?"

Jiang Tao was secretly delighted, thinking, "He doesn’t even know the White Jade Arhat is a token of the renowned Dragon Abyss Sect. This young man is indeed an outsider."

"Immortal Master, the White Jade Arhat is a token of the Dragon Abyss Sect!"

"What did you say, the Dragon Abyss Sect?"

Yan Rufeng exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Tao, seeing Yan Rufeng’s astonishment, was taken aback and quickly said, "Immortal Master, could it be that you have never heard of the Dragon Abyss Sect?"

Yan Rufeng was all too familiar with the Dragon Abyss Sect on Canglong Star. In his previous life, he had repeatedly tried to become a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect, only to be rejected multiple times. Subsequently, after achieving success in cultivation, Yan Rufeng, in a fit of anger, wiped out the Dragon Abyss Sect, an event that caused psychological trauma to Yi Mu...

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh, thinking, "I didn’t expect the White Jade Arhat to be a token of the Dragon Abyss Sect. If Mumu seized the White Jade Arhat, she probably doesn’t know its purpose. Otherwise, the Jiang family would have been annihilated..."

Calculating in his heart, Yan Rufeng thought, "At this time, Mumu should not have become a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect yet. Since heaven has given me another chance, I, Yan Rufeng, swear to change everything, to shape this world into what Mumu wanted in her previous life..."

Yi Mu seized the White Jade Arhat, and Jiang Yuan’s group couldn’t escape death. Jiang Yuan originally intended to ask Yan Rufeng to intercede for him. After hearing about the White Jade Arhat’s significance, he grew even more fearful.

Jiang Yuan timidly said, "Patriarch, the White Jade Arhat you bought from the Yi Family at great expense was robbed halfway."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Tao was shocked and stood up abruptly.

"Jiang Yuan, tell me exactly what happened!"

In the Dragon Abyss Sect’s sphere of influence, after months of competition among numerous families in the Five Great Cities, no one expected that after the White Jade Arhat fell into the Jiang family’s hands, it would be snatched by Yi Mu halfway.

After Jiang Yuan recounted how Yi Mu had snatched the White Jade Arhat, Jiang Tao was furious, thinking, "That woman who took the White Jade Arhat must be a helper hired by the Yi Family. Who else but the Yi Family would know the White Jade Arhat was with our Jiang family..."

"Well played, Yi Family. How dare you betray our Jiang family. Jiang Tao, you are our mortal enemy..."

Jiang Tao roared toward the sky, filled with murderous intent.

Yan Rufeng, hearing this, smiled slightly, "Jiang Tao, if you want to protect your Jiang family, I advise you to abandon that idea."

Jiang Tao was stunned, confused, "I don’t understand, Immortal Master, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "No matter who it is or how strong your backing, if anyone intends to harm the Yi Family, I, Yan Rufeng, will make them regret ever being born..."

With that, Yan Rufeng ascended into the air. A streak of light flashed, and he disappeared in front of the Jiang family members.

Just as Jiang Tao thought Yan Rufeng had gone far, he began to laugh loudly.

"Haha..."

"Such arrogance, Yan Rufeng. I’ve noted your name. I don’t care who you are; if you provoke me, I’ll make you regret being..."

"Pft..."

Before Jiang Tao could finish, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Even in death, Jiang Tao couldn’t understand how Yan Rufeng, who had already gone far, had managed to kill him. Just as he fell, Yan Rufeng’s voice echoed in the ears of the Jiang family.

"All members of the Jiang family, listen well. From now on, Jiang Yuan is your new family head. If any of you are dissatisfied, remember that Jiang Tao is your example..."

The Jiang family mansion fell into a deep silence; no one dared utter a word, fearing a single word could bring disaster.

Yan Rufeng appointed Jiang Yuan as the family head, and Jiang Yuan was not to be trifled with. He roared, "Jiang Ning, get out here now."

Jiang Ning immediately began to tremble in fear.

"Family... Family Head, what are your orders?" Jiang Ning stammered.

"What?"

Jiang Yuan glared, "If it weren’t for your meddling, the old Family Head wouldn’t have died. Do you admit your guilt?"

Jiang Ning cried out, "Family Head, please investigate clearly. The old Family Head died at Yan Rufeng’s hands; everyone saw it. It truly has nothing to do with me."

"Nothing to do with you!"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Yuan let out a cold laugh, "Someone, drag Jiang Ning out and behead him!"

Jiang Yuan, originally a servant of the Jiang family, was appointed family head by Yan Rufeng. The other Jiang family members were deeply dissatisfied in their hearts.

As a result, they ignored Jiang Yuan’s order. Minutes passed, and no one stepped forward; they all remained where they were, unmoved.

"Hehe!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning coldly laughed, "Jiang Yuan, Family Head, how impressive you are. Why doesn’t anyone come to take me down?"

"You, you..." Jiang Yuan pointed at Jiang Ning, too angry to speak.

"Haha..."

"Jiang Yuan, you? Don’t you know your place? A mere servant can be the family head, what a joke."

"Haha..."

"I think that fool Yan Rufeng is also..."

Before Jiang Ning could finish, a fountain of blood sprayed from his chest, staining the ground scarlet.

Like Jiang Tao, Jiang Ning was killed by the spirit sword released by Yan Rufeng from miles away...

However, the high-ranking members of the Jiang family believed Jiang Ning’s death was Jiang Yuan’s doing. They thought Yan Rufeng would have already been far away by then.
