165: Chapter 195 The Shock of the Jiang Family

Jiang Ling watched the assassin disappear, his brow furrowing slightly.

Who exactly wanted him dead?

He didn't seem to have that many enemies; the ones who hated him most were likely his own Family, right?

Seeing that they couldn't bring him back, did they decide to just kill him?

It was highly probable.

"The Jiang Family!"

Jiang Ling's gaze turned cold!

Inside a tent in the Coastal Secret Realm, Jiang Haoyan was speaking with Jiang Ting.

"Ting'er, don't worry!"

"That rebellious son should already be dead!"

"Your most important task now is to pursue Huo Lingyun, so that our Jiang Family and the Huo Family can form a marriage alliance."

"Once the Old Ancestors return from the Space-Time Secret Realm, our Jiang Family will soar and become the most powerful Family in the entire Great Xia Nation."

...

"Mm!"

Jiang Ting was also in a very good mood.

The Luo Family had directly dispatched a Sixth-Tier Assassin to take action; it was basically a sure thing.

With Jiang Ling dead, his greatest Heart Demon would be gone, and no one in this world could compete with him.

"Dad, do we really have to do this?"

Jiang Churan sighed from the side, "Jiang Ling is also your son!"

"His talent is so good!"

"If we brought him back to the Jiang Family, he would definitely be of immense use to us!"

"Stop talking such nonsense to me!" Jiang Haoyan said coldly. "This rebellious son is so treasonous and immoral; his death is well-deserved!"

Just then, Jiang Haoyan's phone rang.

"Is the matter finished?"

Jiang Haoyan asked excitedly.

"The mission failed!"

A raspy voice spoke from the other end.

"What?"

Jiang Haoyan suddenly stood up.

"How could it fail? You, a Sixth-Tier Assassin, went to assassinate a fourth-rank Martial Artist—how could you possibly fail?"

"I feel like he isn't fourth-rank at all!" the other person's voice came through.

"What do you mean not fourth-rank?"

Jiang Haoyan was somewhat exasperated.

"How old is he?"

"Could it be he's already reached the sixth rank?"

"I don't know if he's sixth-rank, but I am completely no match for him now."

The other person sighed and said, "When I faced him, I felt like he wasn't a human at all, but a deity."

"His World-Ending Divine Thunder truly possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth."

"I couldn't dodge it, nor could I block it."

"What kind of monster did you actually father?"

"If you really want to eliminate this disaster, then go find a Seventh-tier Grandmaster."

"I'm afraid only a Seventh-tier Grandmaster can kill him now."

"What?"

Jiang Haoyan was completely stunned.

"How is that possible?"

"Are you talking nonsense?"

"How could he be that powerful?"

"Right now, he is just that powerful!" the person said. "I just made some inquiries; apparently, inside the Kunlun Void Secret Realm, he killed several sixth-ranks!"

"His name is already echoing through the overseas Mercenary world!"

"This..." Jiang Haoyan was dumbfounded!

"Alright!"

"Say no more!"

"You better find a way to get rid of him quickly, otherwise, your trouble will be huge in the future!"

After the person finished speaking, they hung up the phone.

Jiang Haoyan clenched his fists so hard they cracked loudly; his expression was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

How could this be?

A while ago, Jiang Ling being able to kill a fifth-tier exotic beast was already enough to shock them, yet how much time had passed, and Jiang Ling could already kill Sixth-Rank Martial Artists at will?

What kind of Prodigy was this rebellious son?

Jiang Ting's expression was even more unsightly at this moment.

The last time Jiang Ling killed a fifth-tier exotic beast by himself, it had already dealt a massive blow to him.

Now, he was being told that Jiang Ling's strength was already enough to kill Sixth-Rank Martial Artists at will.

This was simply hard for him to accept.

On what basis?

He was supposed to be the favored son of heaven, the Genius standing at the Peak of this era!

Yet, he was being utterly humiliated by an illegitimate son.

"Dad!"

"We should still find a way to bring Jiang Ling back."

Jiang Churan spoke up again.

"If such talent is left outside, it would be a massive loss for our Jiang Family."

"While we haven't completely burned our bridges yet, there's still room for reconciliation."

...

"Shut up!"

Jiang Haoyan was furious, the veins on his forehead bulging out.

"This rebellious son—I must kill him!"

Seeing this, Jiang Churan sighed helplessly and eventually gave up her persuasion.

Jiang Churan left the camp, took out her phone, and called her second sister, Jiang Chuxuan.

"Ranran!"

Jiang Chuxuan was quite surprised to receive Jiang Churan's call.

"Are you doing okay lately?"

"How do you have time to call me?"

"Sister, please talk to Dad!" Jiang Churan said. "Dad is obsessed right now; he's determined to kill Jiang Ling!"

"And Jiang Ling's talent is now incredibly startling!"

"If we can't bring him back to our Jiang Family, it will absolutely be a massive loss."

"Did Dad send someone to kill Jiang Ling again?" Jiang Chuxuan also frowned.

"I've spoken to Dad about this, but he's just too stubborn!"

"Did Jiang Ling survive this assassination?"

"It's not a matter of whether he survived or not, but that the current Jiang Ling has become powerful to a point where we don't even recognize him anymore," Jiang Churan said with some shock.

"Oh?"

Jiang Chuxuan was puzzled, "How powerful has he become?"

"Has he already reached the fifth rank?"

"Didn't you say last time he had just broken through to the fourth rank?"

"He did indeed just break through to the fourth rank," Jiang Churan said. "But he can easily defeat a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist."

"What did you say?" Jiang Chuxuan suddenly cried out.

"Are you talking in your sleep?"

"A fourth-rank defeating a sixth-rank?"

"How is that possible?"

...

"It's true!" Jiang Churan sighed. "Dad had the Luo Family send a sixth-rank assassin to kill Jiang Ling, but that assassin returned in defeat and was seriously injured."

"According to that Sixth-Tier Assassin, the current Jiang Ling has reached an extraordinary level. His World-Ending Divine Thunder can destroy everything. Inside the Kunlun Void Secret Realm, he killed several sixth-rank powerhouses by himself."

"What?"

Jiang Chuxuan was shocked.

"You're not joking, are you?"

"Even if Jiang Ling is a Genius, this is just too far-fetched."

...

"It is indeed far-fetched!"

Jiang Churan said, "But it's true!"

"If you don't believe it, you can go check!"

"It's already spread among those foreign Mercenary organizations!"

There was a moment of silence on Jiang Chuxuan's end.

All of this was indeed a bit beyond her understanding!

"Fine, I'll go check it out!"

Finally, Jiang Chuxuan took a deep breath.

"Second Sister, you should still ask your teacher and see if they can help!"

Jiang Churan added, "If we could bring Jiang Ling back to our Jiang Family!"

"Then how powerful would our Jiang Family become in the future!"

"Mm, I understand!" Jiang Chuxuan nodded and then hung up the phone.
