Chapter 606: The Jiang Family's Great Elder

Half an hour later.

Jiang Shan hurried back.

In his hands, he was carrying two figures.

On one side was Jiang Ling, and on the other was Yuan Fei, who was left with only his Nascent Soul.

Seeing this scene.

A flash of panic crossed Jiang Wuji's eyes.

Yuan Fei had actually fallen into Jiang Shan's hands; no wonder the Piaoxue Trading Firm had declined so quickly.

But with things like this, the situation was likely to become troublesome.

"Elders, didn't you want evidence?"

"Yuan Fei and Jiang Ling are both here."

"As long as we perform Soul Searching on one of them, all the answers will naturally be revealed."

Jiang Shan threw the two of them in front of him.

Both of their powers were sealed, and they were covered in wounds from head to toe.

They fell directly onto the ground.

Hearing Jiang Shan's words, the expressions of the Elders shifted.

Jiang Ling was a direct descendant of the Jiang Family, so naturally, Soul Searching could not be performed before everything was revealed.

But Yuan Fei...

It seemed possible.

Seeing the Elders show signs of being moved, Jiang Wuji could not help but feel a sense of panic in his heart.

All along, most of the things Jiang Ling had done were instigated by him from behind the scenes.

Yuan Fei was very clear about this point as well.

Once Soul Searching was performed on Yuan Fei, his own actions would inevitably be exposed along with it!

Thinking of this.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Shan with a stern and severe expression, "Jiang Shan, what a vicious mind you have!"

Jiang Wuji's sudden, sharp shout left everyone present, except for the Third Elder, stunned.

Facing the gazes of the crowd.

Although Jiang Wuji felt a bit nervous inside, he still bit the bullet and said, "Elders, this Jiang Shan and Wang Jianqiang are clearly trying to harm my Jiang Family."

"Wuji, why do you say that?" the Second Elder asked.

Jiang Wuji continued, "Jiang Ling is a member of my Jiang Family, so Jiang Shan and Wang Jianqiang concluded that we would not perform Soul Searching on Jiang Ling, and would inevitably perform it on Yuan Fei."

"But Elders, do not forget, Yuan Fei is a direct descendant of the Yuan Family, and a very important one at that."

"If he were killed by the younger generation of my Jiang Family, the Yuan Family might not be able to say anything."

"But if he were publicly killed under the witness of you Elders, the Yuan Family, even if only for the sake of the family's face, would likely go to war with my Jiang Family."

"By then, even if my Jiang Family could win, we would inevitably pay a great price."

"Jiang Shan and Wang Jianqiang have sinister intentions; their hearts deserve to be punished!"

Hearing Jiang Wuji's words, the Third Elder's eyes lit up, "Wuji makes sense. My Jiang Family is not afraid of his Yuan Family, but the current situation is special; it is not suitable to go to war with the Yuan Family."

As soon as the Third Elder finished speaking.

The Elders all fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Jiang Wuji let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Shan, a flash of smugness crossing his face.

Wang Jianqiang had been secretly observing Jiang Wuji and keenly noticed the fleeting change on his face.

He secretly curled his lip in his heart.

He said to the Jiang Family Elders, "Actually, Soul Searching is just the simplest and most direct method; it does not mean there are no other ways."

"If you seniors have concerns, this junior has another method that is slightly more troublesome but has absolutely no future repercussions."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's words came out.

Jiang Wuji's heart, which had just settled, hung back up again.

The Third Elder's expression also stalled.

"Oh? If you have a way, little friend, you might as well try it."

The Second Elder raised an eyebrow and spoke gently.

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

He came before Yuan Fei.

Within his eyes, a glimmer of Spirit Light slowly lit up.

At this moment, Yuan Fei had already suffered heavy injuries, and with his power sealed, his spirit had weakened to the extreme.

Facing the Soul Control Art cast by Wang Jianqiang, he had no power to resist at all.

Very quickly, his consciousness was controlled, and his expression became dull.

"This is... a Technique that can control the consciousness of others!"

Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise crossed the Second Elder's face.

Jiang Wuji's expression sank.

"Tell me, have you ever collaborated with Jiang Ling?"

Wang Jianqiang did not care about the surrounding gazes and asked the dull-looking Yuan Fei.

"Yes."

Yuan Fei nodded, his voice mechanical, devoid of the slightest emotion.

Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their gazes toward the ashen-faced Jiang Ling, then looked toward the Third Elder.

"This doesn't prove anything? If it didn't harm the family's interests, Jiang Ling cooperating with Yuan Fei does not violate clan rules," the Third Elder said, biting the bullet.

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon hearing this and continued to ask, "Tell me everything about the content of your cooperation with Jiang Ling."

After his voice fell, Yuan Fei's dull voice, devoid of the slightest emotion, rang out once more.

From selling out the intelligence of Qian Yu Trading Firm to helping Piaoxue Trading Firm suppress Jiang Shan.

To later, when Wang Jianqiang appeared, helping Piaoxue Trading Firm ambush and kill Wang Jianqiang.

Over these years, Jiang Ling and Yuan Fei have cooperated dozens of times.

Except for the final cooperation targeting Wang Jianqiang, every previous instance had caused an extremely malicious impact on Qian Yu Trading Firm.

After hearing all this.

The gazes of the Second Elder and several other Elders toward Jiang Ling were already filled with a cold, sharp hue.

This is betraying the clan!

"Third Elder, do you have anything else to say?"

The Second Elder looked at the Third Elder and spoke indifferently.

The Third Elder's expression faltered.

Seeing this, the Second Elder's voice was cold as he continued, "Since you are protecting a traitor to the clan like this, I will report this matter upward, and you will also have to accept an investigation by the family."

The Third Elder's face paled; he remained silent, his head slightly lowered, his eyes flickering.

"Senior, the investigation isn't over yet."

Wang Jianqiang smiled at the Second Elder and then looked at Yuan Fei, "Tell me, did Jiang Wuji participate in the cooperation between you and Jiang Ling?"

Yuan Fei nodded, "Jiang Ling was working for Jiang Wuji."

Hearing Yuan Fei's words, Jiang Wuji's expression changed drastically, "Wang Jianqiang, you are slandering me; I did not."

"This isn't something Wang said."

Wang Jianqiang shrugged and pointed at Yuan Fei, "It is what the other involved party said."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuji's face instantly turned pale.

"Second Elder, betraying the clan is a great crime and should be punished by death immediately."

"Since the charges against Jiang Wuji and Jiang Ling have been established, shouldn't the clan rules be executed?"

Just then, Jiang Xuan looked at the Second Elder, his eyes shining.

The Second Elder's expression stirred.

He looked at Jiang Wuji and Jiang Ling, "You two, do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Wuji and Jiang Ling were both deathly pale.

Seeing that the two could not speak, the Second Elder's expression gradually became sharp, "Since that is the case, then I shall execute the clan rules."

Having said that.

He slowly raised his palm.

"Stop!"

Just at this moment.

A low voice suddenly rang out.

Amidst a flash of Spirit Light.

A figure flashed into view.

After this figure appeared, this world seemed to become oppressive along with the person's mood.

Seeing the person who arrived.

The Second Elder frowned.

"Great Elder, are you going to openly oppose the clan rules?"

Hearing the Second Elder's words.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared, his heart stirring.

This is the Jiang Family Great Elder?

The number two figure in the Jiang Family, second only to the Clan Leader?

Jiang Wuji...

Seems to be his direct blood descendant.
