229: Do you think the Jiang family has no one left?
Jiang Qingfeng remained expressionless, turning a deaf ear to everything around him, merely kneeling forward mechanically, step by step.
But those Jiang Family clansmen behind him, especially the younger generation, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
Their faces flushed red one after another as they buried their heads low, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Finally, a hot-blooded young Jiang Family Disciple could no longer stand the pointing gazes and mocking whispers from the surroundings. He suddenly leaped up from the ground and roared, "Enough! I won't kneel anymore! At most, I'll just die!"
His standing up immediately caused a commotion.
Many other young people, who also found the humiliation unbearable, began to consider standing up.
Just then, Jiang Qingfeng, who had remained silent all along, slowly turned his head.
His cloudy eyes coldly swept over the young man who had stood up.
"Whoever dares to stand up..."
"...shall never return to the Jiang Family again!"
His cold voice carried no emotion, yet it made all the agitated Jiang Family members feel as if they had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.
Jiang Qingfeng's cold and resolute words were like a basin of bone-chilling ice water, instantly extinguishing the ridiculous pride and thoughts of resistance in the hearts of all the Jiang Family Disciples.
Never return to the Jiang Family?
To these Disciples who had lived in luxury since childhood and relied on the Family's protection to act imperiously, this was more terrifying than killing them!
The young man who had just stood up turned deathly pale.
He looked at the gloating onlookers around him, then at Jiang Qingfeng's unquestionable gaze, and ultimately knelt back down in humiliation.
The rest of the crowd behind him also fell completely silent.
One by one, they lowered their heads like a group of castrated roosters, not daring to make another move, and could only honestly follow behind Jiang Qingfeng.
Kneeling all the way.
From the city gate to the mountain gate of the Four Seas Immortal Alliance.
This short distance of dozens of miles felt as long as a century.
When they finally arrived before the magnificent mountain gate of the Four Seas Immortal Alliance, every Jiang Family clansman felt that their knees had lost all sensation, and their spirits were tortured to the brink of collapse.
Jiang Qingfeng looked up at the towering mountain gate and the two fierce-looking mountain-guarding Disciples in front of it.
He knew Han Qing was inside.
Without Han Qing's command, he didn't dare to stand up, let alone make any unnecessary movements.
He could only lead the hundred-plus clansmen behind him to deeply kowtow and pay respects toward the mountain gate of the Four Seas Immortal Alliance.
That posture was humble to the point of being in the dust... Meanwhile.
Above the long-deserted Jiang Family Manor, space distorted.
A giant Flying Ship, pitch black all over with a ferocious Vicious Beast totem engraved on its hull and filled with an Aura of iron blood and slaughter, slowly tore through the clouds and landed on the estate's plaza.
Luo Yi, who had been waiting there for a long time, had disheveled hair and red, swollen eyes. Like a "husband-watching stone," she stared blankly at the Flying Ship.
The hatch of the Flying Ship slowly opened.
A middle-aged man with a burly build and a resolute face, wearing a set of black battle armor covered in blade scars and sword holes, strode down from the Flying Ship.
Around his body swirled a dense Evil Qi that felt almost tangible!
This was a terrifying Aura that only those who had wandered the edge of life and death for years and crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood could possess!
He was the pillar of the Jiang Family and the son Jiang Qingfeng was most proud of, serving on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield—Jiang Tianxing!
Behind him followed a squad of young Cultivators, also wearing standard-issue battle armor, with fierce Auras and eyes as sharp as knives.
Every one of them emitted the powerful pressure of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
This was a true elite force of a hundred battles!
"Husband!"
Seeing Jiang Tianxing, the nerve that Luo Yi had been keeping taut finally snapped completely.
No longer able to control her emotions, she scrambled forward and clung tightly to Jiang Tianxing's leg, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Husband! You're finally back! Our sons... our sons are dead! Shan'er and Chenggong, they're both dead!"
"They were both killed by that Han Qing from the Four Seas Immortal Alliance! Wuwuwu..."
Hearing this, the muscles on Jiang Tianxing's face, which looked as if it were carved by knives and axes, twitched violently!
The dense Evil Qi on his body erupted, causing the surrounding air to freeze!
He slowly crouched down and helped his wife up, his voice becoming somewhat raspy due to extreme anger.
"What did you say?"
"Both sons are dead?"
Suppressing the monstrous rage in his heart, he strode into the empty mourning hall.
When he saw the two cold coffins placed side by side and the two familiar young funeral portraits in front of them...
He could no longer restrain himself!
A roar filled with endless sorrow and anger erupted from his mouth, like a clap of thunder, making the entire Jiang Family Manor hum and vibrate!
"Where is everyone?"
He suddenly turned his head, looking at Luo Yi with bloodshot eyes. "Where's Father? Where are the people of the house? Where has everyone gone?"
Luo Yi was startled by his appearance and hurriedly said through her tears, "Father... Father took everyone in the Family to... to the Four Seas Immortal Alliance."
"To do what?"
"To... to kneel and beg for mercy..."
"What?"
Jiang Tianxing could hardly believe his ears.
Luo Yi looked at him and said despairingly, "Father took the whole clan and knelt all the way from the city gate to the mountain gate of the Four Seas Immortal Alliance... Now, our Jiang Family has probably become the laughingstock of the entire Tianxuan Domain..."
"Knelt... all... the... way?"
Jiang Tianxing repeated these three words one by one, the Evil Qi on his body almost condensing into substance!
He laughed out of extreme anger.
"Hehe... hehehe..."
"Good! What a 'Four Seas Immortal Alliance'!"
"What a 'Han Qing'!"
"Do you really think the Jiang Family has no one left?"
He suddenly turned around and looked at the elite squad behind him that had remained silent, giving the order in a voice like ice from the Nine Netherworlds.
"Everyone!"
"Board the Flying Ship!"
"Today, I, Jiang Tianxing, will make the Four Seas Immortal Alliance pay in blood!"
After saying that, he pulled up the still-weeping Luo Yi and strode back onto the Flying Ship filled with an Aura of slaughter!
Outside the mountain gate of the Four Seas Immortal Alliance.
Han Qing's figure quietly appeared above the mountain gate. He looked down from above at the mass of Jiang Family members kneeling on the ground.
His gaze fell upon Jiang Qingfeng at the very front.
"You are very rational," Han Qing spoke calmly. "I thought you wouldn't be able to stand such humiliation and would choose to perish together."
Jiang Qingfeng slowly raised his head. There was no longer any ripple of emotion on his face, like a piece of wood about to rot.
"I only hope that Celestial Venerable Han can keep his promise and let my entire clan leave the Tianxuan Domain after the Jiang Family has apologized."
"From now on, all grudges shall be written off."
Han Qing nodded.
"Very well."
"Your Jiang Family can leave now."
