Chapter 144

he had actually committed suicide directly, and even used the poison he brought himself!

Before leaving,

Jiang Chen looked at Mu Yumo with a smile.

Then he walked out with Li Hanyi, following Lei Qianhu.

Watching Jiang Chen, who had already walked outside and disappeared around the corner, Mu Yumo's beautiful eyes flickered; she was wondering whether to take the opportunity to run away.

970 However,

thinking of his words that Su Changhe and Su Muyu and the others had been killed by him,

and the smile that appeared on his face when Grandfather Tang asked if he had stepped into that realm,

Mu Yumo instantly extinguished this thought.

She couldn't run!

Even Su Changhe, who was Half-Step Spirit-Wandering, and Su Muyu, who was in the Great Carefree Realm, couldn't run; how could she, who was only in the Soaring Realm, escape!

Thinking of this,

she hurriedly stepped forward to catch up.

"Disciple."

Li Hanyi looked at Jiang Chen and asked softly: "Did you let the Tang Men go because of Tang Lian?"

"Not exactly."

Jiang Chen laughed: "It was mainly because of you, Master."

He had indeed considered Li Hanyi.

The three City Masters of Snow Moon City were all disciples of Li Changsheng, and Tang Lian was the disciple of the First City Master, Baili Dongjun.

If he had really destroyed the Tang Men,

then even if Tang Lian didn't say anything, he would definitely have opinions in his heart.

After all, if he were to destroy the Tang Clan, the manager Tang Lianyue would definitely have to be killed too; that Tang Ze's strength was average, so letting him go was fine.

But Tang Lianyue could be mentioned in the same breath as Sikong Changfeng; even if his strength was inferior, he was at least close to the Half-Step Spirit-Wandering Realm.

If he destroyed the Tang Clan but let Tang Lianyue go, it would inevitably lead to endless trouble.

He still understood the principle of cutting the weeds without removing the roots, only for them to grow again in the spring breeze.

Of course,

this also included the reason that Tang Lianyue had also opposed the actions of Grandfather Tang this time.

Otherwise,

even with Tang Lian as the bond between Snow Moon City and the Tang Men, Jiang Chen would have destroyed the Tang Men without hesitation.

And hearing Jiang Chen's words,

Li Hanyi also instantly understood Jiang Chen's thoughts, and a touch of emotion couldn't help but arise in her heart.

Although her disciple always teased her, at critical moments, he always thought of her, his Master.

Soon,

Lei Qianhu led Jiang Chen and Li Hanyi to a side courtyard.

"Second City Master..."

Just as Lei Qianhu was preparing to leave, he looked at Li Hanyi, somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Does Fortress Master Lei have something to ask?"

Jiang Chen saw Lei Qianhu's reaction and couldn't help but laugh: "The Lei family and Snow Moon City are allies; if Fortress Master Lei has anything to ask, you might as well speak directly."

"Lei does indeed have something to ask."

Lei Qianhu looked at Li Hanyi with anticipation: "Second City Master, I wonder if Lei Yunhe is in Snow Moon City."

"Hmm."

Li Hanyi nodded gently.

Seeing this, Lei Qianhu immediately showed a look of excitement.

Ever since Lei Yunhe failed to challenge the Daoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen of Mount Qingcheng, he had disappeared without a trace.

Over these years,

the Lei family had never given up searching for Lei Yunhe, but they had never discovered his whereabouts.

Although some people speculated that Lei Yunhe had lived in seclusion in Snow Moon City after leaving Mount Qingcheng, it had never been confirmed.

Now hearing that Lei Yunhe was really in Snow Moon City, how could Lei Qianhu not be excited?

Watching Lei Qianhu's reaction,

Jiang Chen also had to sigh.

Among the four heroes of the Lei family of this generation,

not a single person's life was smooth sailing.

Lei Mengsha violated ancestral rules to join the court and was eventually expelled from the Lei family and died in battle on Mount Lei.

Lei Hong, because of his battle with Li Hanyi, gradually developed a one-sided love for her; in order to be able to get close to Li Hanyi, he also violated ancestral rules and began to practice sword arts, even forging a Killing Terror Sword for this purpose.

However, in the end!

Not only did he not gain Li Hanyi's special regard,

he discovered that the person he liked was actually the daughter of his good brother Lei Mengsha...

And so,

Lei Hong simply imprisoned himself for fourteen years, completely giving up his thoughts.

He even passed on all his martial arts to Lei Mengsha's son, Lei Wujie.

As for Lei Yunhe, he had an arm cut off by the Daoist Sword Immortal, and from then on, his will was depressed, living in seclusion in Snow Moon City, and his cultivation even dropped to the Mortal Diamond Realm.

As for the youngest of the four heroes of the Lei family, Lei Qianhu,

he followed the instructions of his brothers Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe, staying in the Lei family to guard it, never stepping out of the Jianghu for half a step; it could be said that he contributed his whole life to the Lei family.

Not only that,

when the Demon Sect marched east that year, Lei Qianhu fought the Demon Sect's You Bing; although he eventually killed the opponent, he was also injured by the opponent's Frost Mysterious Palm, and until now, the cold poison in his body had not been cleared.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lei Qianhu.

He estimated that before this year was over, the cold poison in his body would likely erupt completely.

"Fortress Master Lei, although your brother is living in seclusion in Snow Moon City, since he hasn't returned to the Lei family, even if you go to find him, he won't see you."

Hearing this,

Lei Qianhu couldn't help but sigh; how could he not understand this principle?

"If he won't see me, then he won't."

"As long as I know he is safe and sound, I can rest easy."

After speaking,

Lei Qianhu bid the two farewell and turned to leave.

Although Grandfather Tang and the others were dead, the other guests were still there, and this Hero Banquet still had to continue.

A moment later,

the arriving Mu Yumo bowed to Jiang Chen and Li Hanyi:

"Greetings, Snow Moon Sword Immortal, greetings, Young Master."

Looking at Jiang Chen, who was staring at her, Mu Yumo felt somewhat uneasy; she didn't know what this terrifying young man wanted to do by calling her over.

"This beautiful sister."

Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile: "Now that Su Changhe, Su Muyu, and Xie Qidao of the Xie family are dead, if I give you some time, can you become the new Hidden River Patriarch?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words,

Mu Yumo looked at Jiang Chen in surprise: "Does the Young Master want to control the Hidden River?"

Although the other party called her sister, she didn't dare to call him little brother again; until now, that spot was still a bit numb.

"Why, is there a problem?"

Jiang Chen laughed: "If you feel you can't do it, then I'll find someone else to do it."

He thought of Yue Ji, who was following him back to Snow Moon City.

If Yue Ji's strength wasn't only in the Free Earth Realm now, he would have intended to let Yue Ji take over the Hidden River.

Mu Yumo heard this, and immediately covered her mouth and laughed softly: "If the Patriarch and the others were still here, I naturally couldn't do it, but now... if the Young Master trusts me, then give me one month."
