Chapter 190: Chapter 188: The Yi Family

In the Jiang Family Mansion, an elder renowned for his virtue jumped out and angrily shouted, "Jiang Yuan, as a family servant, how dare you defy family law and kill a Jiang Family member without permission! Seize him for me..."

Though Yan Rufeng was a hundred miles away, his Divine Sense was constantly observing every move within the Jiang Family Mansion. Just as the Jiang Family members were about to capture Jiang Yuan, Yan Rufeng immediately released his Spirit Sword.

"Zheng..."

With a sharp sword hum, the Spirit Sword streaked a long arc through the sky, instantly reaching above the Jiang Family Mansion.

Within the Jiang Family Mansion, wherever the sword rainbow passed, people continuously fell into pools of blood. It was evident that Yan Rufeng had started a massacre to establish Jiang Yuan’s authority.

In a world ruled by martial strength, if you were weak, even an ordinary person would look down on you. Yan Rufeng intended to spare the Jiang Family, but they mistakenly thought he was hesitant because of his concerns about their family.

Yan Rufeng was well aware of their thoughts. Jiang Tao’s death had already proven everything. Yan Rufeng’s departure was merely to test Jiang Tao. If Jiang Tao’s conduct had satisfied Yan Rufeng, he wouldn’t have died. But Jiang Tao’s actions were akin to digging his own grave.

Though Yan Rufeng didn’t know what Jiang Tao aimed at, he understood that in this Canglong Star, where martial prowess ruled, only through killing could one gain respect. After Jiang Tao’s death, Yan Rufeng had initially thought the Jiang Family members would support Jiang Yuan as the new Family Head, but the reality disappointed him greatly.

Where there are people, there is a Martial Arts World. The human heart in the mundane world of Canglong Star is already so complicated, let alone the more perilous Cultivation World.

Within the Jiang Family Mansion, everyone was on edge. Just as another person fell to the ground, one suddenly kneeled before Jiang Yuan, begging loudly, "Family Head, I don’t want to die. I know I was wrong. I, Jiang Yu, am willing to acknowledge you as the head. Family Head, please, speak kindly to the Immortal Master..."

Facing the unknown danger and the ever-present threat of death, no one wanted to be the next to die. In an instant, everyone in the Jiang Family Mansion kneeled around Jiang Yuan, pleading...

Jiang Yuan faced the sky and clasped his hands, saying, "Immortal Master Yan, you can see they have realized their mistakes. Please spare the Jiang Family members."

No one else fell in the Jiang Family Mansion. The terrified crowd didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.

Jiang Yuan raised his voice, "Clean this place up. In an hour, everyone must gather in the main hall for a meeting."

"Understood!"

No one dared to disobey Jiang Yuan anymore.

Since then, in Mujiang City, Jiang Yuan had firmly established his position. Although some Jiang Family members were still unconvinced, they didn’t dare speak up and could only look for opportunities to secretly escape and inform Jiang Tao’s younger brother. It must be known that Jiang Tao’s younger brother was also a cultivator...

In Cangxuan City, after three days of travel, Yi Mu finally arrived at the Yi Family.

The Yi Family Patriarch, Yi Zhantian, was overjoyed to hear that Yi Mu had returned after completing her studies. He immediately ordered people to decorate with lanterns and festoons, slaughter pigs and sheep. The Yi Family Mansion was soon bustling with joy and laughter.

Yi Mu stood smiling in front of her father, Yi Zhantian.

"Father, did you miss your daughter?"

Yi Zhantian revealed a benevolent smile, "My dear daughter, you’ve been away for ten years. Your mother and I have missed you so much that we couldn’t sleep. Just yesterday, your mother and I were still thinking of you!"

"Hee-hee!"

Yi Mu laughed happily.

"Father, I missed you both too. But why don’t I see mother?"

"Mumu, father will take you to see your mother now."

After meeting her parents and enjoying a moment of family warmth, Yi Mu happily said, "I have a gift for you both!"

"A gift? What kind of gift?"

Yi Zhantian scratched his head, puzzled, "Mumu, is it a gift from the Immortal Master?"

"Hmph!"

Yi Mu coyly said, "My master isn’t that generous to give me a gift."

Yi Zhantian was confused and asked, "Then what is the gift you mentioned?"

"Hee-hee..."

Yi Mu laughed, "Father, you’ll find out in a moment..."

Yi Mu summoned the White Jade Arhat.

Yi Zhantian’s face changed dramatically upon seeing it, panicking, "The...the White Jade Arhat..."

Seeing Yi Zhantian’s expression, Yi Mu was puzzled, "The White Jade Arhat originally belonged to our Yi Family. Why does father react this way after seeing it?"

"Mumu!"

Yi Zhantian became serious and said, "Tell me, how did you obtain this White Jade Arhat?"

After Yi Mu truthfully explained, Yi Zhantian became flustered.

"Mumu, quickly come with father to return the White Jade Arhat to the Jiang Family!"

Yi Mu’s mother also urged her to return the White Jade Arhat to the Jiang Family.

Yi Mu pouted in defiance, "This White Jade Arhat originally belonged to our Yi Family. Why must we return it?"

"Mumu, you must know the White Jade Arhat doesn’t truly belong to our Yi Family," Yi Zhantian said.

"Father, if the White Jade Arhat doesn’t belong to our Yi Family, why has it been with us?" Yi Mu questioned.

"Sigh..."

Yi Zhantian heaved a long sigh.

"Mumu, you’ve grown up. It’s time you learned some things..."

Yi Mu learned from Yi Zhantian that the White Jade Arhat was originally a token of the Dragon Abyss Sect. She stood tall and scoffed, "Since the White Jade Arhat is a token of the Dragon Abyss Sect, I will use it to join the Dragon Abyss Sect!"

"No, absolutely not, you must not..."

Yi Mu’s mother hurriedly said.

"Mother, why not?" Yi Mu asked urgently.

"Old man, it’s time to tell her the truth," Yi Mu’s mother looked at Yi Zhantian.

"Very well!"

With a complicated expression, Yi Zhantian said, "Mumu, you must understand, the reason our Yi Family could possess the White Jade Arhat for decades is because your great-grandfather held a significant position in the Dragon Abyss Sect. But now..."

"What about now?" Yi Mu quickly asked.

"Your great-grandfather, something happened to him," Yi Zhantian lowered his head and fell silent.

"What could have happened to great-grandfather?" Yi Mu asked.

Yi Zhantian spoke in a melancholic tone, "It’s said that he was privately imprisoned by the Dragon Abyss Sect elder."

Yi Mu fell into deep thought before saying, "Father, if that’s the case, I will take the White Jade Arhat and join the Dragon Abyss Sect to find a way to rescue great-grandfather!"

As soon as she finished, Yi Mu collected the White Jade Arhat and turned to leave.

"Reckless, I forbid you to go!" Yi Zhantian shouted angrily.

Yi Mu paused and said, "Father, if you don’t want to rescue great-grandfather, fine. But why stop me?"

Yi Zhantian spoke earnestly, "Mumu, it’s not that I don’t want to rescue your great-grandfather, but you must understand that the Dragon Abyss Sect is a Cultivation Sect. With your great-grandfather’s profound cultivation unable to save himself, our Yi Family from the Mortal World can’t possibly oppose them. They could easily wipe out our entire family by sending a mere Outer Disciple!"
