Chapter 605: Confrontation Before the Treasure Pavilion

After Wang Jianqiang's voice fell.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The crowd began to seethe.

Jiang Wuji's expression shifted, and an undisguised murderous intent surged in his gaze as he looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Wang Jianqiang, you are too presumptuous. Do you really think that just because Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan are protecting you, I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

At the same time.

The brows of the Jiang Family Elders also furrowed one after another.

A cold glint flashed across the Third Elder's face, and he said in an icy voice, "Brat, do you know what you are saying?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Oh, right, if the Third Elder hadn't spoken up suddenly, I almost forgot one person."

As he spoke, he looked at the Third Elder, who was staring at him with a cold expression, and laughed, "Third Elder, you actually deserve to be executed as well."

"You~"

The Third Elder was furious.

A tyrannical aura erupted instantly, transforming into a violent storm that surged toward Wang Jianqiang.

"Third Elder, stop!"

Jiang Shan was shocked.

A look of horror appeared on Jiang Xuan's pretty face, and she instinctively blocked the path in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this, the Third Elder's brow furrowed.

Jiang Xuan was no ordinary direct descendant.

He could usually scold her or disregard her.

But if he were to injure her, the trouble would likely be immense.

He gritted his teeth.

He hurriedly restrained his aura.

He forcibly pulled all that storm-like, violent power back into his body.

However, although the power was retracted.

She was still struck by the backlash of her own power.

Her internal Spiritual Power was in a state of chaos, and her face turned pale.

Her chest felt stifled, and a mouthful of blood nearly sprayed out.

"Jiang Xuan, you are too presumptuous."

He looked at Jiang Xuan, his expression turning gloomy.

Wang Jianqiang pulled Jiang Xuan away from in front of him and looked at the Third Elder, "Third Elder, is it? You are so angry at Wang's words; could it be that Wang has hit the nail on the head?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's expression grew increasingly icy, "Brat, I don't know what kind of nonsense you are spouting."

"I am spouting nonsense?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "You keep saying you watched Jiang Ling grow up; by that logic, your relationship with Jiang Ling must be extraordinary, right?"

"Jiang Ling betrayed the Jiang Family and is a traitor to the Jiang Family."

"You surely aren't a good person either; tell me yourself, do you deserve to be killed or not?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's face gradually turned a leaden color.

Murderous intent surged continuously from his body.

Seeing this, the Second Elder's gaze flickered as he looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Little Daoist Friend, you and Jiang Shan both say that Jiang Ling betrayed the Jiang Family, but do you have evidence?"

"Naturally, I do."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and looked at Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan understood and looked at the Elders, "Respected Elders, the evidence is at the Qian Yu Trading Firm; I will go back and retrieve it now."

"That is acceptable."

The Second Elder nodded.

Just as Jiang Shan was about to leave, Jiang Wuji suddenly spoke up, "Respected Elders, I suspect Jiang Shan wants to escape; I want to go with Jiang Shan."

"It will also allow me to monitor him."

As soon as Jiang Wuji's voice fell, Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"No, Daoist Friend Jiang Shan is the only son of the Clan Head; in terms of bloodline, he is much purer than you, Jiang Wuji."

"Would he abandon the Jiang Family and run away?"

"Do you even believe what you are saying?"

Jiang Wuji's expression faltered upon hearing this.

Before he could respond, Wang Jianqiang continued, "Daoist Friend Jiang Shan can go alone; if too many people go, Wang is afraid someone might be unable to resist destroying the evidence."

Jiang Wuji's expression changed, "Wang Jianqiang, you are making false accusations!"

"Even if I am making false accusations, if you don't go, wouldn't I be unable to accuse you?" Wang Jianqiang curled his lips.

Jiang Wuji's brow furrowed.

Just as he was about to say something.

The Second Elder suddenly spoke.

"Enough, let Jiang Shan go alone."

Jiang Wuji's brow furrowed.

Although he looked somewhat unwilling, he could only nod.

After Jiang Shan left.

The scene fell into silence.

"Daoist Friend Wuji, who are you sending a message to?"

At that moment.

A playful voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.

Hearing this voice, everyone looked at Jiang Wuji in unison.

They saw that in Jiang Wuji's hand, a Sound Transmission Talisman had appeared at some unknown time.

Feeling the gaze of those eyes upon him.

His body stiffened.

He then looked at the person who spoke and gave a cold snort, "Wang Jianqiang, what business is it of yours who I am sending a message to?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Naturally it concerns me. Since you are sending a message at this moment, I have reason to suspect you are acting with a guilty conscience, attempting to find someone to intercept Jiang Shan and destroy the evidence."

Jiang Wuji's face stiffened, then he revealed an angry expression, "Nonsense."

"Alright, Wuji, put the Sound Transmission Talisman away."

The Second Elder shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the others, "Before Jiang Shan arrives, no one is allowed to send messages to the outside, otherwise it will be considered a betrayal of the family."

"Second Elder, how can you go along with an outsider's nonsense?"

The Third Elder's face revealed a look of dissatisfaction.

The Second Elder shook his head, "It is merely a temporary restriction. If we cannot even comply with this small request, does that not mean the discipline of our Jiang Family is too poor? Could it be that the Third Elder wants an outsider to see our Jiang Family as a joke?"

The Third Elder's expression darkened; he looked at Jiang Wuji, his eyes flashing.

He did not continue speaking.

Jiang Wuji put away the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand with a dark face.

Not long after.

The Third Elder looked at the Second Elder and the other Elders, "Fellow Elders, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter I haven't had time to attend to, and I need to return to my residence."

"I will leave for a moment and return immediately after finishing the matter."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the Third Elder, a strange look flashing across his face.

The Second Elder shook his head, "Third Brother, leaving now is somewhat inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's face revealed a look of anger, "Second Elder, what do you mean? Could it be that, like that outsider, you also suspect I have betrayed the family?"

The Second Elder shook his head again, "No, I am not suspecting you."

The Third Elder's expression relaxed.

Just at this moment, the Second Elder's voice came again, "I am suspecting everyone present."

The Third Elder's face stiffened.

"Second Elder, you are simply being ridiculous!"

The Second Elder shook his head, "The appearance of a traitor in the family is no small matter; every member of the Jiang Family has a responsibility to cooperate."

"We must investigate with the attitude of suspecting everyone in order to uncover everything most thoroughly."

"Moreover, the innocent have nothing to fear; if the Third Elder has nothing to hide, why be like this?"

The Third Elder was left speechless.

"The Second Elder is indeed reasonable."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Third Elder, you are in such a hurry to leave, could it be you want to go handle some unspeakable business?"

"For example, arranging for people to intercept Jiang Shan?"

The Third Elder's face turned black, "Kid, you are talking nonsense!"

"Alright."

"It won't take long for Jiang Shan to return."

"Since things have developed to this point, then let us wait a little longer."

The Second Elder looked at the Third Elder.

"But~"

The Third Elder still wanted to say something.

The Second Elder frowned.

"What, could it be that the Third Elder's matter is more important than catching the person who betrayed the family?"

"If that is the case, why not say it and let us hear it."

"If it is truly so, I can let you leave."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's face stiffened.

In the end, he did not continue to insist on leaving.

It was just that, perhaps because he felt uncomfortable after being confronted by Wang Jianqiang, his expression was very ugly.

Someone with a similar expression.

Was Jiang Wuji.
