Chapter 335

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all stunned by the turn of events.

After all, so many Enforcement Corps members, even Jiang Chen himself as their leader, had joined forces.

It was the first time in months!

Beyond their shock, a thread of curiosity stirred deep within them.

What exactly had these two done to provoke such a commotion?

Soon, someone in the crowd made a new discovery:

"According to standard procedure, anyone who breaks the law is taken by the Enforcement Corps to their respective lineage for judgment by the lineage master and Elders—but now, their direction isn't toward Tianshu's base..."

"It's more like... the Family Grand Hall?!"

His words fell silent.

A single stone stirred a thousand waves!

One after another, the clan members' faces turned to shock, their eyes brimming with alarm.

They keenly sensed that something major might happen today!

After all, what kind of place is the Family Grand Hall?

It is the highest center of power in the entire clan!

And it is personally guarded by the Clan Lord!

Now, the Enforcement Corps has brought Jiang Yong'an and others to the Family Grand Hall.

Clearly, the crimes these two committed are no minor matter!

Thinking of this, many halted their actions and followed the Enforcement Corps toward the Family Grand Hall!

They all wanted to find out what had truly happened!

Not long after.

The Family Grand Hall.

Jiang Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back before the ancestral tablets.

His gaze was deep, like a still pool, lost in thought.

Behind him stood a group of people.

Among them were members of the Elder Council: Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang, former Tianxuan lineage master Jiang Hongwen!

Tianshu lineage master: Jiang Hongli!

Tianxuan lineage master: Jiang Daoyun!

Tianji lineage master: Jiang Hongyang!

Tianquan lineage master: Jiang Hongping!

Yuheng lineage master: Jiang Daoqi!

Kaiyang lineage master: Jiang Daolin!

Yaoguang lineage master: Jiang Daode!

And Tianshu Elder: Jiang Hongkang!

The atmosphere in the hall was now heavy and oppressive.

Without the Clan Lord's command, no one dared break the silence.

Jiang Hongguang and Jiang Hongwen wore calm expressions, showing no change.

The seven lineage masters, however, wore grave or even furious expressions, all fixed on Jiang Hongkang.

Feeling the probing gazes around him, Jiang Hongkang bowed his head in shame, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

With the Clan Lord's personal order summoning all lineage masters to gather in the Family Grand Hall,

He, the only Elder from the Seven Lineages present, now understood the reason.

Because his unworthy grandson had committed the foolish act of betraying the clan!

Recalling past events, a deep wave of regret rose within him.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he should not have spoiled the boy so much—leading to this catastrophe.

Jiang Hongkang sighed softly, his face etched with unrelenting regret.

Though he did not wish to meddle in Jiang Yong'an's mess, the boy was his only descendant.

He simply could not stand aside.

Now that it had come to this, he only hoped the Clan Lord would remember the old ties to Wudan City and spare his grandson's life.

The thought had barely formed.

Then, a flurry of hurried footsteps shattered the silence!

Jiang Hongkang quickly turned his head, following the sound.

There entered Jiang Chen, leading the Enforcement Corps.

In their hands, they dragged two men.

One of them, pale and trembling, gazed at him with pleading eyes—as if begging for rescue!

He was his own grandson, Jiang Yong'an!

At that moment, under the watchful eyes of the clan's high-ranking elders,

Jiang Chen bowed to Jiang Daoxuan and said: "We pay our respects to the Clan Lord!"

"The traitor Jiang Yong'an has been captured. We await your judgment, Clan Lord!"

Jiang Daoxuan gave a slight nod.

His deep gaze swept over Jiang Yong'an, then settled on Jiang Jujie.

"Speak—who stands behind you?"

Her tone was cold, unnervingly calm.

As if asking about something utterly ordinary.
