Chaotic Sword God - C.3745: Situation in the Jing Family (1)

“Foolish child, stop thinking about the clan. From this moment onwards, neither of us belong to the Jing family anymore. A clan like that is not worthy of our loyalty.” Jing Feng sighed.

Jing Mumu was clearly extremely obedient to her grandpa. She nodded and said, “Grandpa, then let me go back and gather some items. Some of the items that my mother and father left behind are still in the clan. I want to bring them all with me.”

“Alright, I’ll accompany you.” Jian Chen waved his hand, and the powers of space enveloped Jing Mumu and Jing Feng. Afterwards, he took a step and immediately vanished, making his way towards the Hall Brilliance Heaven extremely quickly.

“So fast. This is just the distance covered with a single movement. I don’t even know how long I have to fly for to catch up.” Jing Feng gazed at the rapidly changing surroundings. He was extremely shocked. He became even more curious about Jian Chen’s precise strength.

However, out of politeness, Jing Feng was unable to ask him directly.

Because they were not particularly far from the Hall Brilliance Heaven, Jian Chen only took a few steps before the heaven came into view.

However, in just a few minutes, Jian Chen was already standing on the Hall Brilliance Heaven with Jing Mumu and Jing Feng.

“We’ve actually returned so quickly. Back when I fled from the Hall Brilliance Heaven, I used teleportation formations and spatial ships, spending over a decade to make it so far. In the end, I actually returned in just a few minutes. Mumu’s master is so powerful.” Jing Feng was filled with amazement.

Afterwards, Jian Chen learnt the precise location of the Jing family and made his way over with a flash.

Falling Cloud City was a major city that stood on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. It was better described as an empire than a city, as the area it occupied was far too great. It was no less than the territory of certain powerful empires.

The population of such a large city ranged into the hundred millions. Thousands of sects stood in there, with countless medium-sized and smaller organisations as well.

The Jing family was a relatively powerful force among the countless organisations in the Falling Cloud City.

That was because the Jing family had an Immortal Monarch!

“Hmm? It’s Mumu. Mumu has returned. Quick contact the clan leader.”

“Mumu, where have you been for all these years? Don’t you know that the clan leader has been searching for you everywhere?”

“Elder Feng, you’ve actually returned as well, but elder Feng, your complexion doesn’t seem to be very good.”

When Jing Feng brought Jing Mumu back to the Jing family, the people in the surroundings immediately gathered over. Some were enthusiastic, filled with joy, while others sneered and gloated.

In the Jing family, Jing Mumu was not powerful. However, her grandpa’s status as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal influenced hers, earning her an impressive identity.

Coupled with her Sword Immortal constitution, it made her identity become rather special.

However, in the tiny Jing family, there were clearly quite a lot of internal struggles.

As a result, while the Sword Immortal constitution had brought Jing Mumu a certain level of glory, it also created some envy and antagonism.

Jing Mumu did not acknowledge these people. She seemed rather heavy-hearted, directly making her way to where she stayed.

At the same time, the clan leader of the Jing family smiled brightly as he spoke with two middle-aged men in the discussion hall. The clan leader spoke in an extremely modest tone.

The clan leader of the Jing family was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, while the two middle-aged men he sat with were also Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. They came from the Tiger Roar clan.

“This is the clan order of our Jing family. From now onwards, I order as the clan leader that Jing Mumu will be married off to the Tiger Roar clan. Once Jing Mumu returns to the clan, I will immediately send people to send her over. With this in writing, it is perfectly justified for the Tiger Roar clan to take in Jing Mumu. You definitely don’t have to worry about any unpleasant rumours in Falling Cloud City anymore,” said the clan leader of the Jing family.

“Clan leader Jing is a man of sensibilities. Don’t worry, we will personally take this order back and hand it over to our clan leader.” A Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal of the Tiger Roar clan smiled. He paused slightly and continued, “As for Jing Mumu, our clan has sent experts to capture her a long time ago. We’ve already received news. Perhaps she’ll be brought back to our Tiger Roar clan before long.”

“Really? That’s fantastic. Hopefully, Mumu can enter the Tiger Roar clan soon. That way, it will be a burden lifted from my shoulders as well.” Clan leader Jing smiled. He seemed to remember something and gradually became serious. He asked carefully, “I was wondering if the Tiger Roar clan agreed to the condition of our Jing family…”

“You don’t have to worry about this, clan leader Jing. Our clan leader has specially reminded us to agree to all of your conditions. Apart from that, from today onwards, as long as it’s inside Falling Cloud City, any of the Jing family’s problems will be our Tiger Roar clan’s problems. As long as the Tiger Roar clan remains standing, we will watch over your Jing family.” The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal of the Jing family smiled.

“Then I must thank your clan leader.” Clan leader Jing smiled more and more brightly.

At this moment, a man in white stormed in from outside. He bowed towards the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from the Tiger Roar clan first before carefully communicating by clan leader Jing’s ear, “Clan leader, Mumu has returned.”

“What did you say? Mumu has returned?” Clan leader Jing was taken aback before immediately sending out the senses of his soul. He directly enveloped the entire Jing family. Sure enough, he discovered Jing Mumu.

Clan leader Jing was slightly stunned. He subconsciously looked at the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals of the Tiger Roar clan and said, “Didn’t you already send people after Mumu? Why has she returned to the clan?”

“Really?” The two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals of the Tiger Roar clan were surprised as well. Shortly afterwards, they discovered Jing Mumu with the senses of their souls. They were also taken aback.

“Looks like they lost track of her, but that’s fine. Since Jing Mumu has returned to the Jing family, we’ll take her back with us this time,” a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal of the Tiger Roar clan said with little concern.

At this moment, a few wooden huts stood neatly in a remote courtyard of the Jing family.

The courtyard belonged to Jing Feng. As a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, he received the treatment he deserved in the Jing family.

At this moment, inside one of the wooden huts, Jing Mumu gazed at each corner with teary eyes; this was where she had lived her entire life.

This was also the place where her parents left behind their mark. It was a warm place of belonging to her.

Now, she was about to leave. She did not even know if she could return in the future, which left her feeling rather empty inside.

She stood in the wooden hut for a very long time before starting to collect her belongings.

She picked up the rag doll at the end of her bed first, blanking out at the doll.

The rag doll had been personally made by her parents when she was young.

She stared at the rag doll for a very long time before carefully stowing it away in her Space Ring.

Afterwards, she picked up a wooden puppet on the table. The wooden puppet had also been made by her parents.

Apart from that, there were many other kinds of toys in the small, wooden hut. None of them were worth anything, but they held special meaning to Jing Mumu. They represented the memory and boundless love of her parents.

Her parents had both perished during a mission from the clan before she had grown up. All that remained now were these items.

Jing Mumu tidied up quietly. Tears rolled down her eyes as large droplets.

“My dear disciple, if you really can’t part with this place, I can take everything away wholly intact. Let alone this hut, I can even take this courtyard or even the entire Jing family with me.” Jian Chen’s heart ached as he watched on in secrecy. This was his first disciple after all. As a result, he dearly loved this first disciple of his, tempted to give her everything she could want.
