Chapter 79: Triggering a New Mission: Annihilate Qianshan Sect!

Under immense psychological pressure.

Ding Xuan's face crumpled like he was at a funeral, his whole body trembling as he said, "Ji... Jiang Clan Leader, this has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Daoxuan cast him a cold glance.

He had no interest in dealing with such a clown.

"If you've done wrong, own up to it. Ninety slaps, do it yourself."

Hearing this, Ding Xuan felt a weight lift from his heart.

With Xu Gu's example fresh in his mind, and desperate to survive, he didn't dare refuse or bargain. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately raised his palm and slapped his own face!

Terrified that Jiang Daoxuan might not be satisfied, he put his full strength into every slap.

After ninety consecutive slaps, even with his Purple Mansion cultivation base, he was struggling to hold on.

Not only was his face swollen and red to a frightening degree, two of his teeth had even been knocked loose, hurting so badly that cold sweat poured down and tears welled at the corners of his eyes.

Ding Xuan endured the pain and looked up at Jiang Daoxuan.

His face, red as a monkey's bottom, forced into an ugly smile: "Th... thank you, Jiang Clan Leader, for sparing my life."

Jiang Daoxuan looked down at him from above and said coldly, "Three strikes and you're out. If there is a next time, you'd best find yourself a suitable coffin in advance."

The icy tone, laden with threat, made Ding Xuan feel as though he had fallen into an icy abyss, his heart thrown into panic.

He hurriedly dropped to his knees, kowtowed in apology, and pledged: "Please rest assured, Jiang Clan Leader. How could such a thing ever happen again? And I swear, as long as I'm still here, within Wudan City I will never again act on my own or meddle in any Jiang Clan affairs."

"If Jiang Clan Leader has any orders, then even if I, Ding Xuan, have to throw away this worthless life, I will see them carried out properly for you..."

After learning that the other party very likely possessed combat power at the Yuanhai realm, he had completely abandoned any thought of revenge.

Besides, the other party had even offended both Qianshan Sect and Qingshan Sect without a second thought—would he really hold back just because he feared the Prefect of Tiandou Prefecture behind him?

What kind of joke was that?!

If he truly kept courting death, there was no need to doubt it—this recklessly bold Jiang Daoxuan would absolutely cut him down with a single sword!

Moreover, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Once he truly provoked the other party, he would most likely be dead in the other's hands long before any reinforcements from Tiandou Prefecture could arrive.

Under such circumstances, there was absolutely no path to survival!

So, to preserve his life and hold onto his position as City Lord, bowing his head proactively and showing sincerity was undoubtedly the best choice!

After all, Xu Gu could leave Wudan City and return to Qingshan Sect to develop himself, but his own roots had always been in Wudan City. He couldn't leave; he could only coexist with this fierce tiger of a Jiang Clan!

"Mm. I hope you're a smart man. Don't do anything stupid again. Get lost."

Jiang Daoxuan saw the other's fear and did not make things difficult for him further, merely saying coldly.

As his words fell, Ding Xuan instantly felt a great weight lift from his shoulders and fled the scene in haste.

Once Ding Xuan's figure had completely vanished from sight.

Jiang Daoxuan fell into thought.

He began considering his next arrangements.

Now that the Yuanhai had been formed, and recalling the humiliation Jiang Chen had suffered at Qianshan Sect, as well as the matter of Kou Qing being killed by Jiang Yan.

It was time to settle, one by one, both the new and old scores between the Jiang Clan and Qianshan Sect!

At this thought, killing intent surged in Jiang Daoxuan's eyes.

Just then, the system's prompt sounded at just the right moment.
