~8 min read 1,416 words

Afterwards, Jiang Chen walked past Jiang Daoxuan.

Entering the Jiang family residence, as he passed the crowd, a youth of similar age to Jiang Chen exclaimed excitedly, "Jiang Chen, rest assured and wait for our return! The Clan Leader has broken through to the Purple Mansion realm; in this battle, the Tang family stands no chance of victory!"

Jiang Chen, who had been walking with his head down, shuddered upon hearing this news.

Purple Mansion Realm?!

Jiang Chen's lips parted slightly, his face filled with disbelief.

At this moment, he finally understood the source of his clan's confidence.

That Tang ancestor is withering away in old age; how could he be a match for our clan leader?

It is just...

Jiang Chen silently raised his head, gazing at the retreating figures of his clansmen.

He gritted his teeth, making a silent vow within his heart.

This is the first time, and also the last!

A fierce battle concerning the survival of both families, yet I, having lost all my cultivation, was unable to participate.

This sense of powerlessness is something he finds unbearable.

As a member of the Jiang family, how could he not wish to contribute his strength to the Jiang family?

As the figures of his clansmen gradually faded from his sight.

Jiang Chen took a step forward and continued walking inward.

He could not wait to cultivate these two Huang Jie techniques, to attempt them and pursue his own miracle!

Shortly after, at the Tang family.

At this time, inside a pavilion beside a pond.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with song and dance.

Three men were eating small dishes, occasionally taking a sip of wine.

Admiring the graceful figures of the dancing girls and listening to pleasant tunes.

Everyone was in high spirits and began to chat.

"Hahaha, calculating the time, I suppose Big Brother has already wiped out the Jiang family by now?"

"The Jiang family is likely already destroyed. Have you decided how to divide the lands, mines, and assets? I have already told Big Brother in advance; I only want the Fenglai Tower, the rest is up for you to choose!"

"Second Brother, why are you so impatient? Is it that the courtesan at Fenglai Tower has truly bewitched you? You would give up all other places just for this land of flowers, snow, wind, and moon?"

Tang Lao Si took a small sip of warm wine and laughed cheerfully.

Tang Lao Er looked infatuated and smiled. "How could you understand the sincerity of Yan'er towards me? She is different from all the women I have met before. She is so perfect and flawless, not greedy for my money, but only wishes to grow old with me. How can she be compared to those vulgar beauties?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lao San and Tang Lao Si could not help but shake their heads.

A mere flirtatious woman who can be picked by anyone with money; the words she speaks, I suppose only our foolish Second Brother would believe.

However, although they understood this truth, neither of them spoke up to mention it.

It would not only offend their Second Brother but also affect the distribution of assets.

After all, if Tang Lao Er does not want resources, it means the two of them would receive a larger share of the assets.

With such thoughts in mind, Tang Lao San and Tang Lao Si could not help but laugh.

The three chatted happily, and before long, six cups of wine were downed.

Just as Tang Lao Er felt the wine cups were too small and unsatisfying, and was about to grab the wine jar to gulp it down.

Clomp, clomp, clomp...

Suddenly, a sound of hurried footsteps approached.

Hearing the noise, Tang Lao Er frowned and casually threw the empty wine jar he had just finished onto the ground.

Tang Lao San and Tang Lao Si also stopped talking and looked towards the sound.

Under their gaze, a family servant dressed in gray clothes rushed over in a panic. Upon reaching them, due to his extreme haste, he accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground.

Tang Lao Er immediately felt displeased and shouted, "So frantic and disordered, what kind of decorum is this?!"

His voice boomed like a muffled thunderclap, terrifying the servant greatly.

Tang Lao San's eyes shifted slightly, then he stood up and walked to the servant. "Speak, what exactly has happened to make you so panicked?"

The servant then remembered the matter at hand. "It is the Jiang family! Many Jiang family members have arrived! They... they kill anyone they see, killing many of our brothers."

Upon hearing these words, as if a bolt of lightning had struck from a clear sky, the three men's faces suddenly turned gloomy.

Bang!

Tang Lao Er's eyebrows shot up, and he slammed his palm down, instantly shattering the dining table into two pieces. "Bold! A mere Jiang family dares to unleash a massacre at our Tang family?!"

Tang Lao San looked thoughtful. "Strange. Big Brother has already gone to the Jiang family. Logically, they should not have survived, let alone come to our Tang family."

Tang Lao Si's heart stirred. "Third Brother, could it be that Big Brother arrived at the Jiang family only to find it empty? That is why the Jiang family managed to escape?"

"No! That doesn't make sense either. If they had chosen to flee directly, I would not be surprised, but why would they come to our Tang family to die? The Ancestor is still here."

There were too many doubts, causing Tang Lao San and Tang Lao Si to gradually fall into confusion, unable to figure it out.

However, Tang Lao Er was too lazy to think so much.

He suddenly stood up and looked at the precious sword placed aside.

He extended his large palm covered in calluses, spread his five fingers, and gripped the sword hilt.

He picked up the great sword and swung it a few times. It moved as if guided by his arm, with fierce winds howling, quite astonishing.

"What does it matter? Since they dare to come to our Tang family, today I will make them bleed here!"

Having said this, he prepared to leave the pavilion.

Seeing this, Tang Lao San immediately stepped forward and grabbed his Second Brother's sleeve. "Second Brother, wait."

Seeing that Tang Lao Er, with a look of displeasure, had stopped his movement, he immediately turned to the servant who brought the news. "This matter is suspicious. For safety's sake, go quickly and inform the Ancestor of this news."

"As you command, Third Master!"

The servant hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and replied.

Immediately, he turned and ran, hurrying toward the Tang family ancestral hall.

Only then did Tang Laosan release his second brother's sleeve. "Let's go. We'll go together and see what confidence the Jiang family has to dare invade our Tang family."

Tang Laoer snorted coldly, gripped his great blade, and without the slightest hesitation, left the pavilion and walked toward the front courtyard.

Tang Laosan and Tang Laosi followed closely behind.

Not long after.

The three, now near the front courtyard, could faintly hear the sounds of fighting.

Taking a few more steps forward, they even caught a particularly pungent scent of blood.

The intensity of the smell made the three men's faces grow even darker.

Just how many people had died ahead?

Thinking this, everyone immediately quickened their pace and swiftly reached the front courtyard.

Gradually, the scene ahead came into view.

Numerous clan members in family attire lay scattered across the ground.

Bodies littered the earth, blood painting the scene.

The grass and trees all around were stained with countless blood spots.

The slaughter continued; after witnessing a clan member be slain by a sword-wielding Jiang family member.

Tang Laoer's inner rage could no longer be suppressed and surged forth!

Veins bulged grotesquely along his temples, his eyes turned blood-red, as if he were a raving beast!

"I will kill you all!"

Tang Laoer lifted his precious blade, took a swift stride, charged into the crowd, and arrived before the nearest Jiang family member.

He held the blade with both hands and, from above, sought to cleave the man in two!

Gazing at the heavy great blade before him, this young Jiang family disciple was immediately terrified out of his wits, his legs turned to jelly, and he accidentally fell to the ground!
