Chapter 180: Jiangnan King's Fury

Ling Zhaixing heard the name Jiangnan Wang and her whole body jolted sharply.

"So it's him… it's Jiangnan Wang…"

She muttered to herself, her voice hoarse, filled with endless hatred.

"He destroyed my Sect, killed Master and my senior brothers…"

The night the Feixing Gang was annihilated.

She saw with her own eyes Master surrounded by a group of black‑clad death soldiers, and finally perished from exhaustion.

And the mastermind behind it all was Jiangnan Wang!

These days she has been on the run, bearing humiliation, just to find the true culprit behind the scenes and avenge the Feixing Gang.

Now she finally knows who the enemy is, and the hatred in her heart almost devours her.

Jiang Feng lightly nodded: "That's right, those mysterious death soldiers who captured you are Jiangnan Wang's men. On the surface he is a high‑ranking Jiangnan royal, appearing only as an idle Prince who doesn't involve himself in state affairs, and besides the Prince's Residence's personal guards, he has no other regular forces."

"I just didn't expect that under his command there are so many Grandmaster‑level experts, even Sixth Grade Grandmaster."

Ling Zhaixing took a deep breath, trying to suppress the hatred in her heart.

She knows Jiangnan Wang's faction is massive, with many experts; to seek revenge, she cannot be hasty.

"Lu Xiao's side, you don't need to worry too much."

"I promised to help her improve the Standing Blade Technique; she won't let the Dragon Group disturb Ji Shi Tang for now, but…"

He changed the subject.

"The Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman is crucial to Jiangnan Wang; he will definitely not give it up so easily. You must be careful, hide yourself well, and not reveal your identity."

Ling Zhaixing lifted her head, looking at Jiang Feng, her eyes carrying a hint of complex emotion.

She lightly nodded, her tone calm.

"I understand, thank you. I won't cause trouble for you or Ji Shi Tang."

She said little more, not revealing her determination for revenge.

Jiang Feng saw it, but asked nothing further.

Everyone has their own obsessions; Ling Zhaixing's vengeance must ultimately be hers alone.

All he can do is temporarily protect her safety.

"Hmm, you just recovered, the injury still needs rest."

"Alright."

Ling Zhaixing nodded, turned and walked toward her own room.

Jiang Feng watched her silhouette disappear at the doorway, and let out a light sigh.

……

Elsewhere, deep inside the Jiangnan Wangfu's study.

Jiangnan Wang, dressed in a dark brocade robe, paced anxiously, his face full of unease.

He occasionally glanced at the window, his eyes impatient, his fingers unconsciously tapping the Jade Pendant at his waist.

Since sending the three Elders to Fengling Ferry last night, no news has returned. The three Fifth Grade Grandmasters vanished like a stone sinking in the sea, with no sign, making his heart increasingly uneasy.

"Useless! All are useless!"

Jiangnan Wang muttered a curse.

His biggest worry is that the four Elders have met misfortune.

If four Grandmaster‑level death soldiers are lost at once, his years of effort will be wasted.

At that moment, the study door was gently pushed open, and steward Si Jiannan hurried in.

"Prince, the situation outside has been clarified."

Jiangnan Wang immediately turned to him, asking anxiously.

"How is it? Any news?"

"Prince, now Jiangcheng is under citywide martial law; the Dragon Group, together with the Provincial Government army, has set up checkpoints at every intersection, conducting strict inspections."

"The Water Prison at Fengling Ferry has been completely sealed off by the Dragon Group and the army; no one is allowed to approach."

"However, according to reports from surrounding informants, no Dragon Group convoy of prisoners has been seen, so the three Elders likely withdrew safely, but we cannot contact them for now."

Jiangnan Wang's complexion softened slightly, yet remained grim.

"What about Feng Asi? How is he?"

Upon hearing, Si Jiannan's face changed slightly, and he replied lowly.

"The fourth Elder should have died in the Water Prison."

"What?"

Jiangnan Wang slammed the table.

"The fourth Elder is dead? Who did it? Someone from the Dragon Group?"

"It's not yet certain, but the main suspect is the southern garrison commander of the Dragon Group, Long Qianyan."

Jiangnan Wang's face turned extremely ugly, his teeth chattered.

"Long Qianyan! I won't be done with you!"

He inhaled deeply, his eyes turning vicious.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite! Si Jiannan, issue the orders!"

"Deploy all the forces we've been secretly cultivating!"

Jiangnan Wang's voice was ice‑cold and cutting, bearing a ruthless determination.

"Attack the Dragon Group's strongholds, destroy the army's checkpoints, create chaos! I will make Jiangcheng unsettled these days, forcing Long Qianyan and Lu Xiao to be unable to look after each other!"

Si Jiannan was startled in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"Prince, the whole city is under martial law now; if our people rashly move out, would that be too risky? If the Dragon Group and the army catch us with evidence, exposing our Faction, the Consequence would be unimaginable!"

"Adventure? What is there to fear now?"

Jiangnan Wang let out a Cold Smile, his Tone full of madness.

"Old Fourth is dead, three old Fifth Grade Grandmasters have lost contact, our losses are already great enough! Even if we don't take the initiative, the Dragon Group and the army won't let us off; sooner or later they'll trace it back to me! Rather than sit and wait for death, it's better to strike proactively, stir up the situation, perhaps we can find a sliver of hope!"

His gaze was sharp, carrying a hint of resolve.

"I have no way back now! Just do as I command!"

Si Jiannan, looking at Jiangnan Wang's mad eyes, knew he had made up his mind and no longer tried to dissuade him.

"Yes! I will now send the order, mobilizing all hidden forces, acting according to the Prince's command!"

"Go!" Jiangnan Wang waved his hand, his Tone icy.

"Tell them, after the deed is done, there will be abundant rewards! If anyone dares to retreat at the last moment, I will not spare them!"

"Understood!"

Si Jiannan bowed, turned, and hurried out of the study.

In the study, only Jiangnan Wang remained; he stood by the Window, his gaze full of sinister cruelty and madness.

"Long Qianyan!"

Jiangnan Wang let out a low howl, his Tone full of poisonous resentment.

"You wait for me! I will make you pay a painful price for your deeds!"

"Jiangcheng, it will soon become a human hell!"
