Chapter 161: An Unexpected Encounter, Pei Qingfeng's Pent-Up Fury!

Tang Batian's expression stiffened, and the smile on his face instantly darkened: "What did you say?!"

As his words fell, a terrifyingly bone-chilling intent was mixed within.

The three men's hearts turned cold, feeling as if the blood throughout their bodies had frozen solid, as though they were plunged into an abyss of ten-thousand-foot ice!

Only when Tang Batian withdrew his aura did the crowd feel their bodies lighten, heaving a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, seeing the unkind look in their clan head's eyes, they dared not hesitate in the slightest and promptly poured out all the intelligence they had gathered.

After understanding the full course of events.

Tang Batian swept a glance at the three men and said in a low voice, "Since this matter has come up, I'll stall the Ancestor for now. As for the Ancestor's temper, I don't need to say more—you all understand. This must be dealt with as quickly as possible."

"You all go inform the Third immediately, order him to set out at once, head to Cangwu Mountain, and wipe out this overreaching Jiang clan! Oh right, remember to leave that wretch Jiang Daoxuan alive, capture him and bring him back, to give the Ancestor an answer......."

Hearing this, the crowd shuddered and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At the same time, deep in their hearts, they were also filled with anticipation for what was about to happen next.

One must know that the Third Master "Tang Baqiang" had not only comprehended the Great Accomplishment Saber Intent, but also possessed the cultivation base of the fourth level of the Star Wheel Realm, making him the strongest aside from the Ancestor and the Clan Head!

With such a powerhouse taking action, the Jiang clan's destruction would be but a matter of a single flip of the hand!

Several days later.

Within the borders of Cangwu Mountain.

A massive white eagle flew swiftly over from the horizon!

On the eagle's back sat a middle-aged man with graying hair, his eyes closed.

This man was none other than the Palace Master of Dahe Jiangong, "Pei Qingfeng"!

The Hundred Sects Grand Competition had just concluded a few days prior, and unable to contain himself any longer, he had ridden this Star Sea Realm mount from Dahe Jiangong and arrived here.

Beside him sat a young man and woman in white close-fitting attire.

They were Pei Qingfeng's direct disciples, as well as his adopted son and daughter, named "Pei Bu" and "Pei Shan".

Under their adoptive father's tutelage, the two of them had been groomed from childhood as the heirs of Dahe Jiangong.

By now, they had already comprehended the Entry-level Sword Intent, and possessed the cultivation bases of the sixth level and fourth level of the Purple Mansion Realm respectively.

Looking around, Pei Bu and Pei Shan could not help muttering, "This Gu Xingjian really doesn't know what's good for him. Instead of staying at our Dahe Jiangong, he insists on staying with some little clan like this!"

"You said it! What's there to stay in such a barren place? No matter how good it is, could it even compare to one or two tenths of our Dahe Jiangong?"

During this period, the news that Gu Xingjian—who had once rejected their Sect Master's recruitment—had now joined a small clan and become its enshrined guest had already spread throughout all of Dahe Jiangong.

Everyone found Gu Xingjian's choice utterly astonishing and incomprehensible.
