Chapter 2: The Three Wang Brothers Who Defected at the Critical Moment

The scene gradually spiraled out of control, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

For the safety of the clan, the Grand Elder suppressed his inner rage once more and looked at Tang Zhengyang: "What exactly does your Tang family intend to do!"

At this point, the trap was sprung. Tang Zhengyang sneered, "Today, we have come specifically to destroy your Jiang family. Wudan City is simply too small to accommodate four families, so we can only ask you to die first."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling involuntarily.

He never expected things to develop in the worst possible direction.

Yet, our Jiang family still has one last hope...

The Grand Elder barely mustered his spirits and waved his hand, signaling the clan members to quiet down.

Immediately after, he looked at Tang Zhengyang: "Even if your Tang family is powerful, do not forget that our clan's genius, Jiang Chen, is studying at Qianshan Sect."

"If you come here to destroy our Jiang family, where does that leave the face of Qianshan Sect? Once they hold you accountable, how can your Tang family bear the consequences?"

"Jiang Chen? He barely counts as a figure. If he were still an inner disciple, it would be one thing; my Tang family would naturally leave three faces of respect for Qianshan Sect. But now..."

"What do you mean by that?"

The Grand Elder's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Hahaha, it seems you still do not know? Your family's genius, while on a mission for Qianshan Sect, was ambushed by the Luofeng Sect."

"Now, his dantian has been destroyed, making him a complete cripple! Furthermore, he was expelled from Qianshan Sect not long ago."

Suddenly, the Jiang family erupted in chaos!

Every Jiang clan member present wore an expression of disbelief.

They could not imagine that the former clan prodigy, the youth who was expected to lead the Jiang family to rise again, had passed like a meteor, flashing briefly before vanishing.

Not only was his cultivation base completely ruined, but he was also expelled from the sect, losing its protection.

By this time, even the elders of the Jiang family turned pale, their hearts filled with worry.

If Jiang Chen were truly expelled from Qianshan Sect, then who now could guarantee the safety of the Jiang family?

Even with just Tang Zhengyang alone, they would struggle to hold him back.

In the crowd, the three Wang brothers, who enjoyed positions as benefactors of the Jiang family, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

If the Jiang family could stand against the Tang family, offering their strength out of past gratitude and for cultivation resources, there would naturally be no problem.

But now the clan leader is in a closed-door retreat with life and death unknown, and Jiang Chen, who had entered Qianshan Sect, has had his cultivation base utterly destroyed and been expelled from the sect.

After much thought, they decided that selling their lives was best avoided.

The three Wang brothers exchanged a glance, and after a brief exchange of looks,

they simultaneously left the Jiang family area and approached Tang Zhengyang.

Wang Da clasped his hands in a bow and said to Tang Zhengyang, bowing deeply: "Clan Leader Tang, we three brothers have long heard of the Tang family's fame and have long wished to join you, but we had no way to offer our service. We never expected to meet such a wise and heroic Clan Leader Tang here today."

"I wonder if you would accept our meager strength? If you do, we are willing to abandon darkness for light and serve the Tang family from this day forward!"

Hearing such shameless words, the elders of the Jiang family were instantly filled with rage, raising their fingers to scold the three.

"Wang Da! When has the Jiang family ever wronged you? With disaster at our doorstep, we do not ask you to share life and death with us, but how can you kick someone when they are down and repay kindness with betrayal?!"

They did not care about the cowardice of the three Wang brothers.

But the Tang family had just broken in and spoken two sentences before the other side openly defected to the Tang family that had come to attack; this was trampling the Jiang family's face into the dirt.

Facing the furious curses of the Jiang family crowd, Wang Da and the others knew they were in the wrong and could only silently lower their heads.

However, they did not change their minds.

After all, at this critical moment, if they did not defect to the Tang family, there would be no such good opportunity to switch sides in the future.

They knew deeply that the Jiang family was already running on empty; if they wanted to obtain abundant resources for cultivation in the future, they could not miss this chance to attach themselves to the Tang family.

"Hahaha! Good! Birds choose the right tree to perch on; those who recognize the times are the heroes. Rest assured, if you join my Tang family, your treatment will be consistent with other benefactors, enjoying resources far beyond what is available here. After all, our Tang family is not as impoverished as your Jiang family."

Tang Zhengyang laughed heartily.

These three innate-level combatants who defected at the critical moment were too good to waste.

"Thank you, Clan Leader, for taking us in. We pay our respects to the Clan Leader!"

The three Wang brothers, their faces beaming with joy, dropped to their knees with a thud before Tang Zhengyang.

To demonstrate their sincerity and loyalty, they immediately revealed a piece of news: "We have not seen Jiang Daoxuan for six years!"

"Traitor!" "Ungrateful wretch!" "..."

Hearing that the three had revealed their final trump card, the high-ranking members of the Jiang family could not help but curse loudly.

Seeing this, the three Wang brothers, knowing they were in the wrong, immediately ran behind Tang Zhengyang.

Listening to the information revealed by the three, Tang Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction.

Although he already knew Jiang Daoxuan would not appear, this information spoken from their mouths made all the difference.

Then, he looked at the crowd of the Jiang family, his eyes suddenly sharp and fierce: "Today, the Jiang family shall be exterminated!"

Suddenly, the entire courtyard became chillingly cold, as if the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees!

However, just as Tang Zhengyang was about to act,

a voice as warm and smooth as jade suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Exterminate my Jiang family? With scum like you, you dare?!"
