80: The Jiang family of Shangxuan Domain backed down
Jiang Yilong's father said, "I killed your son. You should step down as Family Head as well and let someone else take the position."
"What? Why? Grandfather!" Jiang Fu looked toward the younger brother of Jiang Yilong's father. They were of the direct line, and the power of the Upper Profound Domain's Jiang Family had always been in their hands.
At that moment, the younger brother of Jiang Yilong's father suddenly attacked Jiang Ye. "Little bastard! Die!"
"Stop!" Jiang Yilong's father shouted, but he was too late to intervene.
Jiang Ye smiled. He had sensed a killing intent directed at him long ago and had never let down his guard.
"Flame Burst!" Bang! A single strike blocked the man's attack.
Whoosh! "Golden Flame, Heaven Severing!" Bang! He unleashed two ultimate moves in succession, instantly obliterating the man!
"Grandfather!" Jiang Fu cried out with a look of utter disbelief.
Jiang Ye flew over again and said forcefully, "Besides him, how many others here were in league with that man? If you don't speak up, I'll kill you all."
Jiang Fu said in terror, "You... Old Ancestors, Elders, are none of you going to act..." Bang! Jiang Yilong's father struck, but he was the one who crushed Jiang Fu into pieces.
"Could you give them a path to live? Those you killed earlier were almost all the elites of our Jiang Family's younger generation," Jiang Yilong's father said.
Jiang Yilong suddenly spoke up, "Little Ye, forget it! Back then, they didn't completely exterminate us; otherwise, I wouldn't have survived until now."
Jiang Ye withdrew his power and retreated to Jiang Shanba's side, letting Jiang Yilong and the others continue their discussion.
Jiang Yilong's third uncle, Jiang Yuan, said, "Yilong, bring your great-grandson back to the Family. We indeed handled things improperly back then."
"Forget it. The past is the past. As long as you don't make things difficult for us in the future, Little Ye won't attack you. You may leave!"
"That child is still a descendant of the Jiang Family after all. Don't you want him to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan?"
"There is no need. This child didn't grow up by our side since he was young. He has no sense of belonging to the Jiang Family. There's no need to force him to do anything."
Jiang Yuan said, "The current Jiang Family has lost so many of the younger generation that there's almost a generational gap. Can't you bring him back? I fear the Jiang Family will decline in the future."
"That is your concern. Since you chose such a person to be the Family Head, you must bear the consequences. Enough, let it be. Shanba already knows about your plan to cripple him back then; it's likely impossible for him to accept you now."
"This... can't Shanba try to persuade him?"
"Impossible! Back then, you allowed those people to suppress Shanba like that, and not one of you was willing to stand up for him. If I hadn't given up everything to barely protect him from your hands, he would have been crippled by you long ago.
This grandson of his is very close to him. It's already good enough that he didn't forcefully attack you after learning about this."
Jiang Yuan sighed, "Sigh! To have missed out on such a powerful descendant."
Jiang Yilong's father flew over and said, "Yilong, if that child isn't so repulsed by us in the future, could you bring him back for a visit?"
Jiang Yilong said, "There's no possibility of that. Just educate your people well and tell them not to provoke him again. Once he gets angry, he has the same temperament as Shanba—he'll disregard everything."
The Upper Profound Domain's Jiang Family never dreamed that their Origin Qi would be so heavily damaged in a single day. Some of the pampered Elders had no choice but to come out of seclusion to manage the Family again.
After this lesson, they no longer allowed a single direct line to hold power alone. The scene where Jiang Fu's branch almost dragged the entire Jiang Family into the abyss could not be allowed to happen again.
