Chapter 367: The Jiang Family's Pursuit
At this moment, a cultivator from the Li family suddenly stood up. He tried to intimidate Jiang Yifei and others with the name of Yanxia Dongtian: "Don't go too far! We are disciples of Yanxia Dongtian. Several immortal masters are sitting in our Li Mansion. Be careful that they will be rude to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yifei sneered: "Oh? Yanxia Dongtian? That's perfect. We are going to Yanxia Dongtian next. Since you are related to them, you should know the cause of death of Tingting's parents. Tell me, what happened?"
The cultivator was shocked by Jiang Yifei's momentum and stammered. The other people from the Li family also lowered their heads and dared not look at Jiang Yifei.
At this moment, a knight suddenly rushed in from outside: "Master, we found a secret room in the backyard. There seems to be something strange inside."
Jiang Yifei heard this and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Take me to see it."
After that, he turned and walked out. Seeing this, the people of the Li family looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that this time it was really over.
Gu Sheng stood in the distance and took in all of this. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The Jiang family is indeed worthy of its reputation!
In the following time, Jiang Yifei and others found a lot of evidence in the secret room, proving that the Li family was indeed related to the death of Tingting's parents. Seeing this, the people of the Li family collapsed on the ground, looking ashen.
"Humph! You Li family are so bold!" Jiang Yifei said coldly, "Do you think you can do whatever you want with the support of Yanxia Dongtian? Let me tell you, no matter who dares to touch our Jiang family, they will pay the price!"
After that, he waved his hand: "Take it away! Let's go back to the Jiang family!"
Everyone present was shocked by Jiang Yifei's majesty. No one dared to step forward to stop them. They could only watch them take the Li family away. And Gu Sheng followed silently behind, he wanted to see how this play would end.
At this moment, Qingfeng Town has exploded. Everyone is discussing this sudden change. They know that from today on, Qingfeng Town will no longer be the peaceful town it used to be.
And the name of the Jiang family will be deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
The mist and rain are hazy, and the sky and the earth seem to be shrouded by a layer of gauze, but this does not reduce the fierce momentum of the Jiang family. They stepped on the muddy mountain road and went straight to Yanxia Dongtian.
Jiang Yifei rode on the strange beast, and his white clothes were more elegant in the rain. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he could penetrate the layers of rain and look directly into the depths of Yanxia Dongtian. Jiang Caixuan followed closely behind, and her heroic figure was more valiant in the rain. The innate noble temperament and fighting will were intertwined, which was awe-inspiring.
When they arrived at Yanxia Dongtian, the rain was even more violent, as if even the sky and the earth were roaring for the upcoming conflict. The mountain gate of Yanxia Dongtian is majestic, but at this moment it seems a little deserted and lonely.
"Who dares to break into my Yanxia Dongtian?" An angry shout broke the tranquility of the mountain gate, and a middle-aged man rushed out with a group of monks.
Jiang Yifei smiled coldly and waved his hand to signal the knights behind him to come forward. I saw a knight leap out and fight with the middle-aged man. For a moment, the sword energy was crisscrossed and the magic power was surging, but the middle-aged man was obviously not the opponent of the Jiang family knight and was soon defeated.
"Is this the strength of Yanxia Dongtian? It's really disappointing." Jiang Yifei said sarcastically.
At this time, several long whistles came from Yanxia Dongtian, and several figures flew quickly. It turned out that several immortal masters of Yanxia Dongtian learned that someone broke into the mountain and came to check.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my Yanxia Dongtian?" An immortal master asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Yifei jumped off the strange beast, walked slowly to the front, raised his head and said: "We are from the ancient Jiang family. We came here today just to ask for justice."
"Justice? What justice?" Another immortal master frowned and asked.
"Your disciples of Yanxia Dongtian killed the relatives of our Jiang family. You must give this justice!" Jiang Yifei's voice was cold, and every word seemed to carry murderous intent.
The immortal masters looked at each other, and a trace of suspicion flashed in their eyes. They naturally knew the name of the ancient Jiang family, and they also knew the power and terror of this family. But they knew more clearly that Yanxia Dongtian had nothing to do with the Jiang family, so how could there be murder?
"Humph! What evidence do you have?" An immortal master snorted coldly. "If you don't have real evidence, you dare to act wild in my Yanxia Dongtian. Do you really think we are clay sculptures?"
Jiang Yifei heard this, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes. He slowly took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was engraved with the unique mark of the Jiang family.
"This is the remains of the victim, and it has traces of your Yanxia Dongtian's magic power. Do you still want to deny it?" He raised the jade pendant above his head, his voice cold and firm.
The immortal masters looked ugly when they saw the jade pendant. They knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. They had heard about the Jiang family's power and tyranny. Now it seems that this family is really not easy to mess with.
"We didn't kill your people." A fairy master said in a deep voice. "There must be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Yifei sneered, "Okay, then please hand over the murderer and let us interrogate it ourselves."
The fairy masters looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes. They knew that once the murderer was handed over, it meant admitting the crime of Yanxia Dongtian. This would not only damage the reputation of Dongtian, but also may cause greater conflicts.
"We can't hand over anyone." An immortal master said firmly, "If you have evidence, please go to the authorities."
When Jiang Yifei heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand to signal the knights behind him to come forward: "Since you don't hand over anyone, then we will search it ourselves!" After that, he flashed and turned into a white light and rushed into the mountain gate.
The knights of the Jiang family also took action and fought with the monks of Yanxia Dongtian. For a time, the magic power was surging, the sword energy was crisscrossed, and the entire mountain gate fell into chaos. In this melee, the powerful strength of the Jiang family was fully demonstrated.
Their knights were all masters among masters, and every move was thunderous and unstoppable. Although the monks of Yanxia Dongtian were numerous, they seemed so vulnerable in front of the knights of the Jiang family. Soon many monks were knocked to the ground and groaned in pain.
The rain was getting heavier, as if even the heaven and earth were roaring and raging for this conflict, but even so, it could not cover up the illustrious reputation and powerful aura of the Jiang family knights, which became more dazzling and shocking in this chaos and blood!
"Humph! You Yanxia Dongtian are so brave!" Jiang Yifei said coldly, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have more people? Let me tell you, no matter who dares to touch our Jiang family, they will pay the price!" He waved his hand, "Surround Yanxia Dongtian for me! Don't let anyone go!"
With his order, the knights of the Jiang family took action and surrounded the entire Yanxia Dongtian, making it impossible to get through!
At this moment, Yanxia Dongtian has been completely controlled by the Jiang family. All the monks were forced into a corner and trembled. They dared not have the slightest resistance and could only watch the Jiang family knights show off their power in front of them and wantonly trample on the dignity and glory they once proud of!
In the face of this sudden change, Yanxia Cave Heaven seemed so fragile and vulnerable! The Jiang family showed their strength and dominance as an ancient family!
"Tell me! Who killed the relatives of our Jiang family?" Jiang Yifei walked up to a fairy master and asked coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude!"
The fairy master was so scared that he trembled and couldn't speak. He could only watch Jiang Yifei's cold and sharp eyes sweeping over him, as if he wanted to see through him!
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the inside of the cave: "Who dares to go wild in my Yanxia Cave Heaven?" As the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the cave.
This is an old man with white hair and beard, but his eyes are bright. He wore a green robe, holding a cane, and walked to Jiang Yifei with a staggering gait.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yifei frowned and asked, "What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"
"I am the elder of Yanxia Dongtian." The old man said slowly, "May I ask your name? Why do you want to make a scene in my Yanxia Dongtian?" Although his tone was calm, his words revealed an unquestionable majesty and momentum!
Jiang Yifei was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous old man was actually the elder of Yanxia Dongtian! But even so, he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down: "I am from the ancient Jiang family! I came here today just to seek justice!" He briefly recounted what happened before, then stared at the old man coldly and said: "Now it's your turn to give us an explanation!"
After listening, the old man was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "So that's it... This matter is indeed the fault of our Yanxia Dongtian." He took a deep breath, "But please believe that we didn't kill your people."
"Oh? So you mean we are wronging you?" Jiang Yifei asked coldly, "If you didn't kill our people, why are there their relics left at the scene ? And there are traces of your Yanxia Dongtian's magic power on it! "
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "The reason is complicated... Anyway, please give us some time to investigate this matter clearly."
"Time? You have delayed for too long!" Jiang Yifei snorted coldly, "If you don't hand over the murderer and give a reasonable explanation, don't blame us for being rude!"
The old man was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Okay... Since you insist on asking for an explanation, I will take you to a place." After that, he turned and walked towards the depths of the cave, "Follow me."
Jiang Yifei and others looked at each other and followed. They wanted to see what tricks this old man could play!
The group passed through many courtyards and corridors and came to a remote courtyard, where an ancient stone tablet stood, engraved with ancient runes and patterns, flashing a strange light in the night, as if telling some secrets.
"Drip, drip..." The drizzle was like silk, gently falling on the ancient stone steps of Yanxia Dongtian. Every drop of rain seemed to carry the vicissitudes and sorrow of a thousand years.
Jiang Yifei stood in front of the stone steps, his eyes like torches, staring directly at the towering hall in front of the stone tablet. The knights behind him were like sculptures, silent and firm, and their armor flashed cold light in the rain.
"Squeak..." The door of the hall slowly opened, and an old man with a fairy-like appearance walked out. He was the head of Yanxia Dongtian. There was a hint of apology on his face, but more of it was firmness and decisiveness.
"Mr. Jiang, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me." The head of the sect bowed and said, his voice echoing in the rain.
Jiang Yifei smiled coldly and said, "Master, you are too polite. I am here only to seek justice."
"Justice is in the hearts of the people. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." The head of the sect said in a deep voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere became solemn for a while.
"Two years ago, there was indeed a murder case in my Yanxia Cave Heaven. The deceased was a disciple named Jiang." The head of the sect spoke slowly, with a trace of grief in his voice, "He was secretly harmed by someone, and we have been secretly investigating this matter."
"Oh? Did the head of the sect find any clues?" Jiang Yifei raised his eyebrows and asked.
The headmaster took a deep breath and said, "The murderer is a traitor in my sect. He killed the disciple with a poisonous scheme because of a grudge many years ago."
"In that case, how does the headmaster plan to deal with this traitor?" Jiang Yifei stared at the headmaster's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
A cold light flashed in the headmaster's eyes, and he said, "I have imprisoned him in the back mountain. When this matter is over, he will be publicly executed to comfort the spirit of the deceased in heaven."
Jiang Yifei heard this, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "That's great. I hope the headmaster can keep his word."
After that, he turned and walked down the mountain, followed by the knights behind him. The misty cave in the rain seemed to have restored its former tranquility.
Not long after they left, a figure quietly slipped out from the back of the hall. He was wearing a black cloak and a hideous mask on his face. He was the traitor mentioned by the headmaster before.
"Hmph! Want to execute me? That's not that easy!" The traitor snorted coldly, and his figure flashed and disappeared in the rain.
At the same time, in an inn in Qingfeng Town, Jiang Yifei and others have reunited with Uncle Jiang and Xiao Tingting. They sat around the stove, their faces filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much!" Uncle Jiang said excitedly, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid we would have been killed by the traitor."
Jiang Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you are polite. Since we have encountered this, we naturally can't stand idly by."
After that, he turned to Gu Sheng on the side and invited him, "Brother Gu, you are extraordinary, are you interested in joining our Jiang family?"
Gu Sheng declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang, but I am used to being idle and don't like being bound." (End of this chapter)
