26: Chapter 26 A fairy has arrived, and I, Second Master, immediately went up to hold her hand!

When Jiang Feng and his group returned to the Jiang Family, the gloomy atmosphere from the foot of the mountain was swept away.

Those Jiang Family Disciple who had been stifled for over ten days had witnessed Young Master Jiang Chen deliver a killing blow with a single sword stroke, and had seen the Clan Head of the Wang and Li Family suffer a setback; all of them felt vindicated and stood a little taller.

"Satisfying! Truly satisfying!"

"That bunch of scum from the Wang Family usually look down on everyone, but today they didn't even dare to fart!"

"Young Master Jiang Chen's sword strike was simply divine!"

The crowd chattered away, their gazes filled with admiration as they looked at Young Master Jiang Chen, while their looks toward Jiang Feng were filled with an inscrutable sense of awe.

He clearly hadn't done anything, just stood there and said a few words, yet it seemed as if everything was within his control.

Jiang Feng ignored the discussion and walked straight to the Family head, Jiang Nan, his expression indifferent.

"Big Brother, pass down the order: the entire Family is to prepare for battle."

"Huh?" Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled. "Feng'er, hasn't the City Lord already stepped in? The Wang and Li Family shouldn't dare to..."

"If they don't dare, I will force them to," Jiang Feng interrupted him, speaking in a calm tone. "Distribute all usable Medicinal Pill, do not skimp on Spirit Stone, and let the clansmen recover to their Peak state as quickly as possible. It is time for Jiangyuan City to change its sky."

Jiang Nan looked at his younger brother; although he had countless doubts in his heart, he ultimately nodded heavily.

"Fine! I will go handle it immediately!"

He knew Jiang Feng too well; his brother never did anything without being certain. Since he said so, there must be a reason.

"Second Master, rest assured! I have been stifled for so long, my bones were about to rust!" Young Master Jiang Chen gripped his sword hilt, his eyes surging with Battle Intent. "Whoever dares to come again, I will ensure they never return!"

With just one word from Jiang Feng, the entire power of the Jiang Family began to operate efficiently.

Meanwhile, the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit.

City Lord Fang Ming held a grand banquet. Sitting in the main seat was the Fairy from the Qingyun Sect, wearing a bronze mask, who had just achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough.

Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen were also among those invited, but the two sat at the end of the table with ugly expressions, remaining silent throughout.

"The Fairy is peerless in grace and beauty. To be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at such a young age—your future prospects are limitless!" City Lord Fang Ming held up his wine cup, complimenting her with a face full of smiles.

"City Lord Fang, you overpraise me." The masked woman's voice was cold and clear, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"May I ask where the Fairy's hometown is, and which Elder of the Qingyun Sect you studied under?" City Lord Fang Ming asked seemingly casually, but was actually probing.

The masked woman gently swirled her wine cup, answering without directly addressing the question: "I am just an unknown Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, not worth mentioning. I came down the mountain for training, passed through Jiangyuan City, and coincidentally found a place rich in Spiritual Qi, and luckily achieved a Breakthrough."

She paused, then changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I have a Junior Sister who seems to be in this Jiangyuan City."

"Oh?" City Lord Fang Ming immediately became interested. "I wonder which Family's Prodigy could be a fellow sect member of the Fairy?"

Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen also pricked up their ears; this was a good opportunity to climb up to the Qingyun Sect.

The masked woman put down her wine cup. Her voice was not loud, yet it clearly traveled throughout the entire banquet hall.

"The Jiang Family, Jiang Feng's concubine, Lin Yueyao."

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room was shocked.

Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen stood up with a start, their faces full of disbelief.

Lin Yueyao? That trash who was kicked out of the Qingyun Sect and had her Spiritual Root shattered? How could she possibly be the Junior Sister of this Foundation Establishment Cultivator before them?

City Lord Fang Ming was also stunned; he never imagined that this great deity would actually have a connection with the Jiang Family.

The masked woman seemed not to see the reactions of the crowd and continued on her own: "I have not seen Junior Sister Yue Yao for many years and intended to find her to catch up, but I did not expect to happen upon the opportunity for a Breakthrough. Since I have succeeded, I intend to disturb the Jiang Family for a few days to have a good reunion with my Junior Sister."

These words caused Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen to exchange glances, both seeing fear and ruthlessness in each other's eyes.

It was over!

If this Foundation Establishment Cultivator were really allowed to stay in the Jiang Family, wouldn't that mean the Jiang Family had gained a massive backer? By then, let alone annexing the Jiang Family, they would be lucky if their own two Families weren't the ones being liquidated in return!

The banquet ended hastily.

City Lord Fang Ming respectfully saw the masked woman out of the City Lord's Mansion, a meaningful smile on his face.

The situation of the Jiang Family was even deeper than he had imagined.

Early the next morning.

The news that the Qingyun Sect Foundation Establishment Fairy was going to visit the Jiang Family quickly spread throughout Jiangyuan City.

At the entrance of the Jiang Family mansion, Family head Jiang Nan brought a group of high-level Family members and core Disciple, waiting in line early, each person's face filled with a bit of nervousness and excitement.

This was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! And from the Qingyun Sect!

"She's here, she's here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the end of the street.

A slender figure wearing a bronze mask walked over unhurriedly in the morning light.

She brought no attendants and had no fanfare, but that unique aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator still made all the Qi Refining Cultivator present feel a sense of palpitation.

"Welcome, Fairy!"

Jiang Nan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and lowered his posture extremely low.

However, just as he was about to recite the long welcome speech he had prepared, a figure walked past him.

It was Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng ignored everyone and walked straight to the front of the masked woman.

With Jiang Nan shocked speechless and the Jiang Family Disciple watching in a daze, he reached out and grabbed the masked woman's slender hand, which was covered by a thin gauze glove.

The entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

He was crazy! Second Master was definitely crazy!

That was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! How could he dare... how could he dare to just walk up and touch her?!

Jiang Nan was so scared his soul was about to fly away. Just as he was about to shout a reprimand, he saw that high and mighty Qingyun Sect Fairy not get angry, but instead tilt her head slightly, allowing Jiang Feng to hold her hand, and obediently followed him inside.

Jiang Feng pulled her along, walking past the dumbfounded Jiang Nan without looking sideways, leaving behind only a faint remark.

"Big Brother, what are you looking at? Move aside."

"..."

Jiang Nan turned aside mechanically, clearing the path, his mind a blank slate.

"Holy crap... Second Master is awesome!"

"My god, what did I just see? Second Master just dragged the Foundation Establishment Fairy away?"

"This... this is even more outrageous than what is written in storybooks!"

After a brief silence, uncontrollable exclamations and admiration erupted among the younger generation of Jiang Family Disciple.

Behind the crowd, Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan stroked his beard, a mysterious smile appearing on his wrinkled old face.

This news quickly spread to the Wang and Li Family.

"Bang!"

Inside the Wang Family meeting hall, Ancestor Wang Gang smashed the red sandalwood table in front of him to pieces with a single palm strike.

"Too deceptive! Too deceptive! That brat Jiang Feng actually dares to do this!"

"Brother Wang!" Clan Head Li Ziwen's face was pale, his voice trembling. "That woman really stayed in the Jiang Family! We... what should we do?"

Ancestor Wang Gang's chest heaved violently. The fear in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by madness and ruthlessness.

He stared fixedly at Clan Head Li Ziwen, squeezing a few words through his teeth, one by one.

"Wait? What are we still waiting for!"

"We cannot wait any longer! While they are not yet firmly established, and while the Jiang Family has not yet truly connected with the Qingyun Sect, we must strike first!"

"Pass on my order: gather everyone capable of fighting!"

Ancestor Wang Gang stood up abruptly, his Foundation Establishment Stage pressure exploding forth.

"Tonight at midnight, level the Jiang Family!"
