Chaotic Sword God - C.3747: Situation in the Jing Family (3)

The man in white was Jian Chen!

But at this moment, Jian Chen did not reveal his true appearance. Instead, he had disguised himself.

“Master!” Jing Mumu called out before subconsciously hiding behind him. Suddenly, she felt like this master of hers that she had only met recently had actually become so close.

Jian Chen’s appearance immediately made Jing De narrow his eyes. First, he studied Jian Chen sternly before looking at the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan who had already died. He was immediately startled.

“Y-you actually killed an elder of our Tiger Roar clan?” The other Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal of the Tiger Roar clan paled in fright and yelled out.

Even in Falling Cloud City, Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals could be regarded as experts, yet he had just died mysteriously right before their eyes. That shocked everyone present.

Only Jing Feng, who knew Jian Chen’s strength, remained unfazed.

The corpse still remained? That was already the best outcome.

Jian Chen glanced at the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan indifferently and said, “In your Tiger Roar clan, Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals are elders? If that’s the case, then there has been much more than one elder who has died by my hand. There are four in total.”

“What? D-don’t tell me elder Yuan Feng and the others have… have already died by your hand?” The expression of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan changed drastically. He ground his teeth. “No wonder, no wonder Mumu suddenly returned to the Jing family. Turns out… turns out elder Yuan Feng and the others have already met their end.”

As soon as he said that, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan turned around and shot outwards as quickly as he could without second thought.

Jian Chen reached out, and the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan was immediately trapped. Afterwards, he was forcefully dragged over to Jing Mumu under an invisible force.

“My disciple, this person also wanted to take you to the Tiger Roar clan. How do you plan on dealing with him?” Jian Chen looked at Jing Mumu.

Gazing at the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal who could not even move a finger anymore, Jing Mumu shook her head in confusion. She said rather fearfully, “I-I don’t know…” As soon as she said that, she subconsciously looked at Jing Feng and murmured, “I’ll listen to grandpa.”

Jing Feng took a step forward and bowed towards Jian Chen. “Senior, can you leave this person to me?”

“Sure. I’ll leave him to you,” Jian Chen said calmly.

When he heard that, clan leader Jing standing on the side seemed to relax. He said to Jing Feng, “Jing Feng, we can’t afford to offend the elders of the Tiger Roar clan. After all, in Falling Cloud City, the Tiger Roar clan is basically paramount. If our Jing family wants to thrive, the Tiger Roar clan’s opinion of us is extremely important.”

“What does the Jing family have to do with me anymore?” Jing Feng sneered. He arrived before the elder of the Tiger Roar clan. His eyes shone coldly. “Since you want to harm my granddaughter, then don’t blame me for this.”

A supreme quality immortal artifact sword appeared in Jing Feng’s hand; he directly thrust out with it.

Spurt! The sharp tip pierced the forehead of the elder from the Tiger Roar clan mercilessly, destroying his soul.

From beginning to end, the elder from the Tiger Roar clan was unable to resist at all. He was trapped there by Jian Chen, incapable of even basic defence. He was killed by Jing Feng with ease.

“Jing Feng, you fool. You’ve personally killed an elder of the Tiger Roar clan. You’re making enemies for our Jing family.” Clan leader Jing sighed gently. He looked at Jing Feng apologetically and said, “Jing Feng, I understand that you’re furious. Actually, when I said I wanted to expel you earlier, it was just to stave off the people from the Tiger Roar clan. You are a senior member of our Jing family after all. No matter how great of a mistake you make, how can I expel you from the clan? I really hoped you didn’t take it personally.”

“Now, we better think about how we’re going to deal with the Tiger Roar clan. As for Mumu, we obviously can’t hand her over to the Tiger Roar clan. She is the future of our Jing family, after all.”

Clan leader Jing had no sense of shame at all. His attitude changed completely. The whole time, he secretly glanced in Jian Chen’s direction in an undetectable manner.

At the same time, an old man in grey robes rose up from the forbidden grounds of the Jing family. He moved very quickly, appearing before everyone in the blink of an eye. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

“Greetings, ancestor!”

As soon as they saw the old man, everyone from the Jing family in the surroundings bowed and greeted him, demonstrating great respect.

The old man was the ancestor of the Jing family, a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.

The ancestor of the Jing family ignored the bowing clansmen in the surroundings. Instead, he faced Jian Chen and clasped his fist sternly. “Greetings from Jing Tianhao, senior. It is Mumu’s great fortune to be able to become your disciple.”

“Ancestor, that’s not what you said earlier.” Jing Feng looked at the ancestor of the Jing family in complete disappointment. He had already lost all hope in him.

The ancestor of the Jing family sighed gently and said, “Little Feng, you understand some of the details involved, so I’m not going to go into detail. However, I do hope that you can stay.”

“You want me to stay? You want to use my relationship with Mumu to establish a connection with senior?” Jing Feng shook his head gently and said, “That’s impossible. From the moment you agreed to marry Mumu off to the Tiger Roar clan, Mumu was no longer a part of the Jing family.”

“Little Feng, you are still a part of the Jing family.” The ancestor of the Jing family sighed.

“A part of the Jing family? Hahahaha, if I really were a part of the clan, then why did Mumu’s parents die?” Jing Feng seemed to be triggered by something, laughing away like a madman. He suddenly looked at the clan leader and said, “If you don’t want people to find out, don’t do it in the first place. Jing De, you were extremely discreet with some of this, but you still ended up leaving behind traces. Do you have the courage to admit that you actually had a hand in the deaths of Mumu’s parents?”

“Jing Feng, what are you blabbering about?” Clan leader Jing’s face changed slightly as he growled.

Jing Mumu’s jaw dropped as well. She was in disbelief. She cried out, “Grandpa, what are you saying? How is my parents’ deaths related to grandpa clan leader?”

Afterwards, she turned her gaze towards clan leader Jing with her large, naive eyes and said in a hurry, “Grandpa clan leader, tell me quickly that what grandpa said isn’t true. Waaaah… Dad… mum…” Jing Mumu was immediately reminded of her parents, which made her sob painfully.

“Mumu, don’t listen to your grandpa’s nonsense. That’s all a bunch of lies.” Clan leader Jing comforted Jing Mumu softly. When he glanced at Jian Chen from the corner of his eye, there was a deep sense of fear.

“We’ll know with the slightest investigation,” Jian Chen said. He was originally indifferent to these petty matters, but when he remembered how Jing Mumu was his first disciple, he did not mind spending a little more effort on this.

His eyes deepened. At that moment, he merged his soul with the world and resonated with the ways, peering into the secrets of the universe.

With his current level of cultivation, there were no Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that could hide anything from him unless they had a treasure protecting them from the heavenly secrets or the traces in the ways they left behind had been erased by an expert.

In just a few seconds, Jian Chen saw through everything. When he looked at clan leader Jing again, the clan leader immediately felt like he had been completely seen through.
