Chapter 3

Hearing this, everyone present instinctively turned their heads, looking toward the source of the voice.

At that moment, at the doorway,

stood a man in white robes, his figure imposing, his face as fair as jade, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, black hair cascading casually over his shoulders; his white robe, stained with blood, faintly revealed an endless aura of grim killing intent!

Once they clearly saw the man's face, the pupils of many Jiang family members shrank violently, their expressions filled with disbelief.

They recognized the identity of the newcomer.

It was none other than the Jiang family head they had longed for day and night... Jiang Daoxuan!!

"It is the Head! The Head has emerged from seclusion! I was fortunate enough to see him six years ago; there is no mistake!"

"The Head's power is overwhelming; now, our desperate situation is broken!"

"Please, Head, make a ruling for us! The Tang family intends to sever our Jiang family's centuries-old legacy; they are simply too arrogant!"

Seeing Jiang Daoxuan appear, all the Jiang family members felt as though they had found their backbone; their hearts, which had previously plummeted to the bottom, suddenly soared!

Among them, many had grown up hearing stories of Jiang Daoxuan.

He was the overlord who had once, single-handedly, forced all the innate masters in Wudan City to keep their heads down!

Indeed, the fact that the Jiang family could hold a place in Wudan City, ranking as one of the four great families alongside the Tang, Sun, and Gao families, was largely due to Jiang Daoxuan's contributions.

At this moment, hearing the cheers and exclamations of the Jiang family members,

the Tang family members, who had previously been confused, suddenly realized what was happening, and were immediately struck with horror.

"Jiang Daoxuan? How is this possible! Wasn't it said he had been in seclusion for six years? How is he still alive?!"

"What should we do? Jiang Daoxuan is someone even our Ancestor fears; can we really handle him?"

"M-maybe we should retreat? With our Ancestor backing us, and since we haven't truly annihilated his Jiang family, we can just compensate them with some resources."

The many Tang family members, before even fighting, showed fear, their faces filled with panic.

As members of the four great families,

they naturally were not unfamiliar with Jiang Daoxuan's illustrious reputation.

He was the top genius once hailed by the current City Lord of Wudan City as the one with the greatest hope of becoming the city's third Purple Mansion realm cultivator!

Now, the arrival of such an existence was like an insurmountable towering mountain, truly making people hesitate and feel despair!

Therefore, the question was no longer whether they could annihilate the Jiang family, but whether they themselves could escape with their lives.

The Tang family members were still in shock.

The Wang three brothers, who had originally served as the Jiang family's patrons, were even more terrified. "The Head?"

They could not believe their eyes.

Jiang Daoxuan, who had been in seclusion for six years and tacitly assumed dead, had actually appeared again.

Suddenly, regret surged within their hearts.

If they had known Jiang Daoxuan would appear, why would they have switched their allegiance in front of everyone?

Truly making themselves outsiders on both sides.

However, considering we served the family for so many years, the Head probably won't do anything to us, right?

"Jiang Daoxuan?"

Tang Zhengyang's eyes widened, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He never expected that the person who had just spoken was none other than Jiang Daoxuan, who had long been considered dead!

Facing this figure who shook Wudan City, even though he had already advanced to the peak of the innate realm, his heart still felt panic and confusion.

Within the crowd of Jiang family members,

the Eldest Elder looked at Jiang Daoxuan.

His lips parted slightly; though his heart was filled with a thousand words, he did not know where to begin.

It was simply because everything was too dreamlike, making him fear deeply that this was merely his own illusion!

"No need to worry; rest well. From now on, leave it to me."

Jiang Daoxuan looked at the Eldest Elder and said softly.

As his words fell, like a spring breeze brushing past, soothing the heart, the expressions of the Jiang family members relaxed; their inner burdens dissipated, leaving them feeling refreshed all over.

Then, Jiang Daoxuan turned his head to look at Tang Zhengyang.

Their four eyes met.

The cold gaze immediately made Tang Zhengyang's body tremble.

Thick sweat constantly beaded on his forehead; he felt his throat dry and instinctively swallowed.

Under such overwhelming pressure, he immediately formed the intention to retreat.

"Jiang... Jiang Head, this is all actually a misunderstanding; please listen to my explanation..."

At this point, the plan to swallow the Jiang family had long been cast aside; staying alive was the most important thing.

"Explain?"

Jiang Daoxuan's expression was stern.

With a mere lift of his hand, a burst of Primordial Spirit force erupted, piercing through Tang Zhengyang's body with lightning speed and exploding him into a cloud of blood mist!

Splat... splat...

Blood fell like rain, staining the surrounding walls crimson and forming a pool of blood on the ground!

The scene was terrifying, shocking to behold.

It terrified all the Tang family members, turning their faces ashen and sending their souls flying in fright!

Had their clan leader been casually killed by a single strike from Jiang Daoxuan?

No one could have foreseen this outcome.

Even the Jiang family members present were all stunned.

They then looked at Jiang Daoxuan with the eyes one would use to look at a monster.

Tang Zhengyang was a genuine master at the peak of the Innate Realm; how could he be slaughtered by the clan leader as casually as a chick?

Could it be... that the Clan Lord has broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm?

At the thought of this possibility, everyone trembled with excitement.

Under the admiring gazes of the Jiang family.

Jiang Daoxuan, with a cold expression, casually withdrew his hand.

"Your death is the best explanation for this clan leader."

The moment these words fell, the hearts of the Tang family members trembled; they instantly fell silent as if wintering cicadas, not even daring to breathe heavily!
